Chapter 19: "I Screwed Up", Part 2
Adam rolled over, grunting as he scrambled for his phone in the early morning hours. He'd been up late the night before, and the last thing he wanted to do was actually talk to someone. But then…
"I screwed up," he heard as soon as he answered.
"What'd you do?" Adam asked.
"I peed at a crime scene," Greg answered.
"I'm sorry, I'm not 100% on crime scene procedure. Are you not supposed to?"
"No, you're not. At least, not until you know there's no evidence in the toilet."
Adam shifted to sit up in bed. "And, let me guess, you found the evidence in the toilet."
"Of course."
"Of course." Adam shook his head. "How bad is it?"
"I failed the proficiency," Greg said.
"I'm sorry, man," Adam told him.
"On the other hand, I get another chance, so…"
"Just don't piss on the crime scene, and you'll be all set."
"Shut up."
Adam chuckled slightly. "Come on, man. You're gonna be sensitive about this?"
"Wouldn't you?"
"Dude, you failed your proficiency because you couldn't hold your bladder. Not because you actually did something wrong, like arrest the wrong person. I'd be more sensitive about that than failing because I had to pee."
"Yeah? You try having this job."
Adam shrugged to himself. "Maybe one day."
"Wait, what?" Greg asked. "I thought you didn't want this job for anything in the world."
"Well, I don't want to work nights like you do," Adam replied. "But, being in this lab… it's not worth it. It's not really a satisfying job."
"So, you're looking for more excitement."
"I'm looking to do more than test underwear for cheating spouses."
"Well, you could always apply out here. I think we're hiring."
"No, that's okay. I rather like New York."
"Remind me of this conversation the next time you're bitching about the cold."
Adam laughed. "I just won't go out in the winter anymore," he said.
"Not sure that's possible," Greg commented.
"Sure it is. I'll start hibernating, like a bear."
"Yeah, okay."
Adam smirked.
After a long pause, Greg said, "thanks, man."
"Any time," Adam told him.
