There was a long pause. John slowly shifted his attention to Ringo and George who had died laughing at this point.
"Oh shut up!" Then, he spoke into the walkie. "Are you sure he's my new partner?"
"Yep. You get a newbie. Don't worry. He's not a handful like yerself. He's the quiet type."
"Wonderful. What happ'ned to me last partner?"
"You probably annoyed him to death........just kidding. He had to leave and go back home to Ireland immediately. Cap was supposed to tell ye. I guess he didn't."
"No. He didn't. Why am I always the last one to know?"
"Because yer you. Everyone knows you."
"Oh sod off McCartney. No one asked you."
"Actually, you did."
"Okay fine. What's his name?"
"William Morris. Yer not going to be doing a background check on him are ye?"
"This is my fourth partner since I started here. I've been doing all my background checks on everyone who becomes my partner. Can't I just stick to one person instead of having twenty in one year?"
"See how this one pans out for ye. When yer with him, be sure to behave. I've already told him some stuff about ye. Don't make him quit because of you."
"Alright fine. Can't wait to meet 'im."
"Sarcasm won't make the situation any better Lennon. Behave yerself."
"Yes muther."
"How's life over there?"
"Boring. Not enough crime to deal with. That's why I radioed. I wanted to see if you ran into some trouble and needed help."
"Nope. All is well here."
"Alright well, continue what yer doing. Have fun."
John put the radio back and sat at his desk again.
"I think Johnny's about to cry." George said trying not to laugh.
"Looks it. Ey Johnny, ye alright?"
"Oh shut up!"
That comment made Ringo laugh. "Don't worry. One of these days, ye'll have a partner that sticks with ye."
"What happ'ned to yer other partners?" George asked.
"Well, the first one......he trained me........uh, he busted his leg playing football. Now he has a desk job. My second was transferred to another division, and you know what happened to the third. Now, the fourth. Can't wait to see if he leaves or stays."
"Treat him right and he'll stay."
John nodded. "I really hate this. I need one partner who sticks with me instead of being that person with so many different partners."
"Don't worry big guy. Train this one and keep him to yerself. Don't let him leave."
"I think I might do that. I don't want to end up with a fifth partner because this one left."
