At the class reunion, the most beautiful girl in our class, Jessica Lane, who married into money, pointed right at me, taunting. She said, "Sarah, what good did all that studying do for you? You're still just an auxiliary police officer at the Eastside Precinct, barely scraping by on one grand a month. So pathetic. "Look at my husband. He's worth over 30 million, and he bought me this entire hotel." The other classmates were all holding back their laughter, waiting to see how I'd react. But I didn't say a word. I just smiled and raised my glass. Later, I gave the go-ahead on the operation report. A week later, Jessica's wealthy husband's fancy club was taken down in a massive raid. When Jessica was brought before me, she was totally stunned. Seeing the rank on my shoulder, she burst into tears, pleading, "Captain Winters, I was wrong. Please, we were classmates. For the sake of our old friendship, let my husband off just this once." I put down the interrogation file and said flatly, "What does a millionaire's case have to do with an auxiliary police officer like me, who's scraping by on one grand a month?"
