The Ex-cop
Copyright© 2023 by A Bad Attitude
Chapter 1
Sue---My name is Sue Simmons. I am an only child and I had a great childhood. My daddy was a cop, his father was a cop before him. I grew up wanting to be a cop.
I graduated high school and joined the Marine Corps. After a three year tour as an M.P. I got out and decided to go to college and get a 2 year degree in Law Enforcement. That’s where I first met Robert. Well maybe “met” is not the right word. I saw him around campus. He was older than me and working on a PH.D in computers or something. Everybody knew him as the “genius”. He talked to no one and really was only interested in his studies. So I guess you could say I knew who he was.
Back to me. I applied and was accepted into the police academy. I placed high up in my class and was soon on my training runs with a partner. Everything was going well. Because of my family history I was well accepted by the other police officers. Life was great.
I had just completed my second year on the force when it happened. While I was on patrol in downtown I got the call, “Robbery in progress, shots fired!” When I heard that it was at the 1st National Bank I radioed back that I was near and was told to respond.
I rolled up and jumped out of the car just as three masked men exited the bank. I drew my pistol and I ordered them to stop. Yeah right. All that did was give them time to turn and start firing at me. Bad idea. I was behind the door of my patrol car, it’s bulletproof, and I am a pistol expert, the best in my class. In less than five seconds all three were on the ground! As I walked up the only one who was still alive he raised his pistol.
