So in the end, he decided to just sit there twiddling his thumbs, looking rather glum. The officer plopped himself down in the swivel chair in his office, removed his stuffy helmet and placed it on the right side of his desk then interlocked his fingers as he leaned back in his comfy chair and began trying to come up with things to do but whatever he came up with was met with some excuse. A frown marred his features as an awful, heart wrenching thought popped into his overworked head, ' I don't really know what to do.'

It seemed life was being merciful to the overworked Zonic for once. Because being able to rest in the life of a zone cop, even just for a minute, was pure bliss and a very welcomed thing.

Now, as short as the rest period may sound, it was something very special.

It wasn't often that the star officer of the Zone Cops was allowed a break, but luckily for Zonic, one of those rare breaks had been gifted to him today and he was allowed twenty minutes off.
