Officer Bennett Kura

Bennett sat on a bench on the side of the gym. Kids were filing into the gymnasium, some looking scared, others confused, and other’s covered in scratches and blood. There were maybe fifty of them, all looking for someone to tell them what to do.

Bennett thought the word “kids”, but, in all honesty, he was maybe five years older than the median age inside the gym. He was in charge. The uniform did it. And students filed up to him and asked him for help.

“We’re going to lie low here,” he’d say, “Just until we get word on what’s going on.”

That was the best he could do. He had no communication to dispatch. The landlines were dead. His cell phone had no bars and there was no WiFi anywhere. There was no way of knowing what was happening.

He approached the girl he had run with to the doors of the University of Saskatchewan Kinesiology Building. She was sitting alone on the floor of the gym against the wall, reading something on her phone and wiping tears from her eyes.

“Do you have any bars?” He asked her.

“What?” She looked confused, then said, “Oh, no. Sorry I’m just reading a text I got from my mom earlier today.” She sniffled and wiped her eyes. “I didn’t have time to look at it until now, I was in an exam.”

“Bad news?”

“That easy to tell, huh?”

Bennett smiled warmly, “Well, I’m major crimes so I have a sense about me,” he joked.

“My dad was in an accident this morning,” she said, holding back a sob. “He’s in the hospital. Guess someone died in it. My mom texted me and told me to get to the hospital when I could. She knew I had an exam, so she didn’t call…” she drifted off, looking sadly at her phone.

“What’s your name?” Bennett asked, plopping down beside her. He silently offered her a drink from the bottle of water he’d gotten out of the vending machine earlier. At least the backup generators were still working in this building.

“Cleo. Cleo Bloomfield. You?” She held out her hand.

“Officer Bennett Kura,” Bennett said, shaking it warmly. “I never had the chance to thank you for holding the door for me. You’re fast.”

Cleo smiled. “I’m in cross-country,” she said.

“What happened there?” He gestured to the coffee stains all over her shirt.

Cleo blushed. “I was doing my intervals this morning before my exam. Ran full tilt into a Professor carrying coffee. Most embarrassing moment of my life. I bet I ruined her suit. And it looked like she cried.” Tears welled in Cleo’s eyes and she brushed them away. “Sorry,” she said, “Apparently, I’m emotional today.”

“All good,” Bennett said, watching the students mill about. “I get it. A freaking Pterodactyl ate a woman right in front of me. I didn’t wake up thinking my day was going to go like this.”

Emotions. Sudden and unwanted rushed through him and he put his head back against the wall, trying to fight back the tears.
