Here's another chapter. Disclaimer: "..."


Mindy's POV: I got home from my trip. I talked to Mork and Bickley. I then went to bed. The next day I went to the grocery store to grab a few things. Then I saw someone I haven't seen in a long while. "Natasha, I haven't seen you in while." Tasha, as we usually call her, is 5 ft. 8 in.; has dark brown hair, really pretty face.
''I know, I've been gone for training. Then I stopped at a clothing store and bought some super cute dresses and a uniform. I came home Saturday." She said.
"Where are you working again?" I asked, forgetting what she was going to apply for.
"I'm going to be a sub. for school. And I'm going to be working somewhere in the police department."
"Oh. So, how's your boyfriend?"
"I don't know, I talked to him this morning, he told me that he was under suspension. He wouldn't tell me anything else. Do you remember that date we had scheduled? He said that we should cancel it. I don't know what's wrong. So, when can I meet this friend of your's. He sounds like a nice guy."
''Oh, Mork? He is really nice. Hey, sometime, we should have a double date; me with Mork and you with Peter."
"I'll have to talk to Pete about that. He sounds really depressed. He acts like he's not home, he doesn't have lights on. I can only reach him at his mobile, but even then, he rarely picks up anymore."
"Interesting, he must be in some kind of funk. Anyway, I've got to finish up and get over to the Music Store." I said.
"I'll be heading over there after I go home and put my groceries away." She said, a smile on her face. She often goes over there either to buy a record or talk with us. We love her and consider her as family. However, we didn't take her to see Uncle Jack. "Okay, see you then." I said.

Natasha's POV: It was great to see Mindy after training. So I went through the checkout and put the groceries in my car. Then I drove home. My 'home' is a small rental home I am using. I put the food and other items I had away. Then I tried to call my boyfriend. He didn't answer. I then drove over the the McConnell's Music Store. I visited with them. Then my cell phone went off, I checked the caller on my experimental gadget that my dad's friend is having me test for him. It was the same creep that calls me everyday. I ignored it. "Who was it?" Mrs. Hudson asked.
"The same dumb creep that is trying to flirt with me." I said. Knowing that I couldn't lie to them.
"You should report him." Mr. McConnell said.
"Yes, but I'm going to wait for my boyfriend to get out of his funk."
"What's going on?"
"My boyfriend said he got suspended, he won't tell me why."
"Interesting, I would have thought he would tell you."
"Yes, I thought he would too." I said, rather depressed. I left and I went home.

Peter's POV: I must find out how the forgery happened. I found my spare and another tape in my car. I also found a few other items. I take them home. At my house, my parents had installed a crime lab for me. I am currently looking at the other tape I found. It is the tape that shows what really happens. I use my crime lab computer to look at the items I had found. Brian must have found my tape, shut it off took it to a crime lab and bribed one of his friends to manipulate it. It doesn't take them too long. And then he went to a gas station. My spare caught that other stuff. So I used my computer. It pulled up the information I needed. Using one of the Police computer cards, I was able to find that he had taken these items to try to do the process on his own. I must take this technology to the office in a few days, because with Brian being lazy, it will certainly raise suspicion.

A few days later: I go over to the office and ask the secretary to have the Sheriff look at them at the same time. He comes out and says, "Why don't you show me." So I showed him my findings. "Watch." I instructed him as I put both tapes in the players. I found the spot where I saw it. It was a mistake I had found when Brian had the tape copied. It showed a picture of the guy and Brian. It would have only appeared for a split second in the tape, but I had a trained eye to catch when to pause it. "And Brian is divorced because his wife was smart and knew that he was going to be lazy."
"Sorry for blaming you for laziness and abandonment. Brian!"
"Here sir." Brian said.
"Brian Allen, You are hereby fired for abandonment, forgery, bribery, and taking credit for what Pete did." The Sheriff went into another room, no doubt to talk to the manager and find out the person who forged the tape. Brian turned in his equipment and his car. He then got a taxi home. "Peter, you are reinstated, but first, you must be sworn in again. We will have to wait for the sheriff." The secretary said. The sheriff came back and swore me in. I grabbed my equipment and my car keys.


How was that? Next chapter coming up. And Yes, they did have mobile phones in the 80. They were rather expensive and car phones were more affordable.
