Jim is a brand new recruit with only
a week on the street when this incident occurred. He had a brain numbing
shift that night, trying to learn what he needed to do, during a typically
busy shift. Well, I guess when he was about to go home his brain was to
full, to function properly. Jimmy stripped down for his shower and wearing
a skimpy towel, he plodded over and had his shower. When he returned he
discovered that he had inadvertently snapped the lock on his locker closed.
Try as he might, he could not get the lock to open and could not find any
tools to break the lock. With nobody around to help, and no clothes to
wear to leave the locker room, he finally broke down and called the Inspector,
who had access to the office with the spare locker keys. Well, Jimmy, being
a well trained, impressionable and polite recruit, did what he thought
he had to do when a senior officer was present. He snapped to attention,
which very nearly caused his towel to fall off. He managed to preserve
his modesty, but, I still managed to find out the story from my usual unnamed
sources.
