Officer Duffy pulled into the first staff parking space outside the First Flight Middle School and pulled his sun visor down. Looking into the mirror, he licked his thumb and forefinger and ran them over his eyebrows to smooth them down. He didn’t get to come out to the school often, but when he did, he always got a little excited to see the cute receptionist they’d hired last year. Gabby Delarfino was a dark-haired girl from Ecuador with the sexiest accent. Duffy hadn’t quite worked up the nerve to ask her out, but he planned to as soon as the time was right.

He opened the car door and stood looking into his window, checking his uniform in the reflection. He tucked his shirt in as tight as he could to minimize the bulge of his belly hanging over his belt. When he was satisfied that he looked as good as possible, he strode toward the front of the building doing his best John Wayne swagger.

He punched the buzzer on the door and leaned toward the window so Gabby could see him. When she did, she smiled and buzzed him in.

“Hello Meester Duffy,” she said with a thick accent. “So, good to see you. What brings you to the school today?”

“Howdy Miss D,” he sniffed and leaned on the counter in front of her. “Official business actually. Can’t stay long. Just need to clarify the location of a certain individual that is in your care and uh...”

He tried to sound important and add as many big words as he could, but he lost his train of thought when she leaned forward looking concerned. Her yellow sundress was cut low and the tan skin of her chest flustered him.

“Oh no,” she said and her eyelids blinked quickly. “That doesn’t sound good at all.”

He swallowed and took a deep breath trying hard to maintain focus on her big, brown eyes. She pulled a hand up and twirled the end of her long back hair. A long pause hung between them and he realized he had his mouth open and was gaping at her. He stood up suddenly. As he did, his hand accidentally caught the edge of a display holding brochures about the school. The fliers scattered across the lobby fluttering to the floor.

“Aw hell,” he sputtered and scrambled around picking up the papers. “I’m sorry.”

She hurried around the counter and began to help him. Her hand brushed against his as they both reached for the same piece of paper and she looked up at him. Her tan cheeks flushed a little and she smiled.

“Eez okay, Meester Duffy,” she said in a slightly nervous voice. “I can get these. You have important work to do.”

He stood and pulled his belt up. “Thank you, Miss D. Can you tell me which class Riley Carr would be in?”

“Oh, ummm,” she pursed her lips and looked up and to the right, a stunningly cute look on her. “I believe she eez in Meester Grantham’s class for first period.
