Shaun and I walked into the station that day, shoulders heavy with shame and ash.  We could feel everyone's eyes on us as we walked into Commissioner Hellund's office.  He greeted us with a stern look.  "Shaun, Beth, do you know why I have called you here today?"
"Nope, no idea at all."
"Shaun!" I scold him under my breath.  Hellund glared harder at us.  "Well," Hellund continued, "it appears you have had a bit of an... incident". That was a severe understatement.  "First of all, you two weren't even assigned the Jameson case-"
"But sir, Matt and Leroy had no idea what they were doing!" I interrupted.
"That doesn't matter!  It was their case, not yours!" Hellund retaliated.  "Anyways.  It appears that you also..." he paused, looking confused at his notes.  He clears his throat and starts again.  "You guys also stole a... a frozen turkey?"
Shaun started laughing then.  It did not get better from there.  "That was the backup plan," Shaun said.
"A... a frozen turkey?" Hellund said, clearly puzzled.
"We were going to return it when we were done," Shaun 'explained' nonchalantly.
"Uh huh," said Hellund, "and what happened to this... turkey?"
"Well SOMEONE decided to throw our backup plan off a bridge!" 
"It was on FIRE!" I exclaimed.
Hellund sighed.  "I don't have time for this.  Dismissed."
"But don't you want to hear the rest of the story?" Shaun pouted.
"No, get out!" Hellund said, shooing us away.
