Penny hurried home with Brain in her backpack she could'nt wait to tell her uncle the news. She burst through the door calling out for her uncle.

Uncle John! Guess what happened today? She said. There was no response. Uncle John? She said. She found her uncle at his desk looking over some papers. Uncle John? She asked. He looked up at her. Oh hello Penny. He looked rather glum as he went back to his paper. Uncle John what's the matter? Penny asked. Oh I asked chief Quimby if I could have a promotion to officer but he turned me down again. He said sadly. Penny knew he had been hoping to become a police officer for a while and while he did great work in the forensics lab it was'nt the same as the other officers in uniform that the public idolized like symbols of law. Penny always had faith in her uncle she was always making sure he never lost hope. Uncle John you know it's not what you have it's what you do that matters. Penny said hugging her uncle. He smiled at her. They were all each other had left since Penny's parents died they had become the important things in each other's lives. And I have some news too. Penny said.
