(Based on an actual conversation)

“I’m just a typical Uber driver,”
said the man driving me downtown in a late model Infinity sedan.

“I retired, got bored, took up driving… but
there’s more … more to my story.

I was a Chicago police detective for twenty-five years.
I loved my job.
Loved putting a suit on every day and going to work.
Enjoyed solving crimes.

But then…

I got shot in the face and my wife said,
“Enough!
You have to retire.
We’ll have enough income—
with your pension and my job with the FBI.”

I recovered, but I couldn’t stand hanging around the house,
so that’s when I took up something else.

“Uber driving?” I asked.

“No, bounty hunting.
I guess law enforcement is in my blood.”
