As Nick walked to work, he checked his watch. “If I’m late again the chief is gonna kill me” he said with a groan. Not only was he about to be late for the third time in a row, but he couldn’t stop scratching his ear as well. The latter was the least of Nick’s problems right now though. He ran around the corner and entered the building with a quick stride. Unfortunately for Nick Chief Bogo was right there waiting for him, stopping Nick in his tracks. “Oh hey Chief” Nick said casually, hoping he wasn’t too mad. “Don’t hey me! You’re thirty minutes late again” Bogo said with a frown. Nick shrugged and tried to slip on past him “come on, I have my reasons” he said. However Bogo blocked his path “you realize that your absences lately don’t go unnoticed correct!” Bogo was clearly quite mad, and it made Nick flinch before regaining his composure. “I’m aware” Nick said with a gulp. “And I’m not gonna cover for you… EVER! Got it” Bogo said sternly. “If you aren’t careful you could lose this job. Or perhaps that’s what you want” Bogo was intense when he got like this. However after a long stare he noticed Nick scratching at his ears. “Why are you scratching yourself while I’m talking to you?” Bogo asked practically looming over Nick. “Umm… my ear’s just a little itchy sir” Nick said, still scratching. “I think I’ve seen this before. Look Nick, I know you’ve been trying to get rid of your fleas but next time pay attention to the time” Bogo walked off shaking his head. Nick was confused “fleas?” It would explain the itching, and it seemed to get the chief off his case. “Yeah fleas… right” Nick said with a smirk. ‘Maybe this flea isn’t so bad’ Nick thought getting to work.
