Police Chief Steve Wesson, Pancione's youngest police chief ever in it's 105 year history, sat behind his desk reading the quarterly report. Once again crime had dropped to a new low. Crime had never been a major issue in Pancione, it's a town of roughly 80,000 people, has that small town feel to it despite being a quick ride to the big city away. Sure there were the occasional purse snatches, drunk drivers, kids up to no good, people seeling weed and such but there was maybe one murder every year or two, no harsh drug trade, and no gang violence. It was an easy city to be a cop and as such most of the cops tended to let themselves go a bit. Chief Wesson knew this well. When he joined the force he was trim, never had abs but was quite built and met his wife offering doughnut samples. Chief Wesson always joked about the cliche of cops and doughnuts but it was a growing love. His gut grew over the years and now his gut looked like an inflated beach ball under his shirt. His gut was a symbol of authority in the precinct. Slightly over a decade ago when he was still a beat cop and his gut was still in the lower 200 range one of the old timers gave his budding belly a rub saying it was like the Buddha's belly except hairy. That old timer won the lottery that night and soon all officers were rubbing the young Officer Wesson's belly.
Sure enough as years passed a lot more stories came through about the effects of rubbing Officer, then Detective, then Lieutenant Wesson's gut. A few guys rubbed it and got leads that day for a murder case, another rubbed it and met the love of his life later that afternoon, another one and the suspect he had been looking for walked right into the station.
Now Captain Wesson was the big man since the last guy retired because he was bored and went to live in Florida and sip margaritas in a thong on the beach. That made Wesson chuckle since the old chief was bigger than he was.
Chief Wesson sat back and rested his hands on his gut and wondered what he was going to do, the town was quiet and he needed some excitement in his job..
