Constable Rosetti was standing guard in Lionel's shop. It was part of Maidenholm. He was sporting a red uniform with an electric trunchen. He had much more power then a blue bobby who roamed the streets. That and he couldn't take bribes. He did like his scotch though. But it wasn't the place.
People would come in and out. Heck. Even a few blue bobbies came in. Not just to buy food and such. But because they missed Rosetti on the street. So they'd chat when he was free. He was glad they did. Itd be boring as hell if they didn't. Lionel was too busy to chat. That or restocking.
Rosetti took a water canteen he had in his pocket and took a drink. He cringed at the taste. It was spiked with joy. But since he was used to BlackBerry. This had a bit of an off taste. He'd actually brought pure water. But was just curious about this. Lionel noticed the face. "Finally coming down to our joy eh?" He snickered at the bobby. Who was sticking out his tongue and practically chugging his pure water. "No. Im just used to BlackBerry. It tastes...sour". "Well I've never had it. But that's different". BlackBerry was for bobbies only. It was a pain for sally boyle to make. Plus highly addictive. So the constables and uncle jack all agreed only bobbies could be permitted it. Plus it created horrible addicts like Spud.
It was closing time. Rosetti had actually helped a bit with the shop. He'd helped a bit with putting things on the really high shelves. He was 7 feet tall while lionel was a measly 5 feet tall. It amazed the shopkeeper how tall bobbies were. But they were extremely efficient. And that made him happier then joy could. Which was no exaggeration. He'd requested Rosetti in his shop permanently from how well he was. Plus it was easier then a new bobby each day. Since Rosetti knew the routine well enough. He'd been at the shop for months now. So he was also well known in the area. And nobody messed with the shop thanks to it. Though it was tiresome at times. But Rosetti loved it.
