BLABBERMOUTH: ‘Shift Five’ gone wrong

 

WHAT is that we hear about this other well-known pseudo law enforcer who was relieved of his duties after months of nagging innocent residents?

Residents, especially in that other suburb, whose name has something to do with the green colour even though not all that happens there is all that green, will bear witness to this law enforcers’ “Shift Five” shenanigans.

In the law enforcement social circles, the Shift Five or Relief Shift refers to that crazy moment when an officer puts on his uniform when he is not on duty and goes to make an extra dollar out of his work apparel.

This is well after the normal four shifts of the day.

Well, this is how deep corruption has sunk into our institutions, birthing a new dictionary of street-like phrases and catchwords.

Anyway this is a story for another day.

Word reaching Blabber is that this pseudo law enforcer was ill-mannered and treated people with so much disrespect.

For very trivial matters, he would harass anyone and everyone whom he would suspect that they would give him cash and if one fails, would be dragged to that other small newly established law enforcement satellite base in the area.

If you think Yours Truly is lying, you may ask imbibers at that other shopping centre which is sandwiched by two low density suburbs.

I mean that other shopping centre that is known by a typical human male name.

The worst part of his character is that he was rude even to his friends that he used to roll with before becoming a cop — all in the name of executing his duties.

For the love of bribes, he showed more dedication than those in commissioned ranks.

The uncouth boy had the audacity to consume drinks from shops and vendors without paying a cent.

As fate would have it, after recently being relieved of his duties owing to his unpalatable character, he found respite in being a security guard at this other downtown shop.

Unfortunately for him, his wife, who hails from that other suburb whose name has something to do with water, turned her back on him and is now a commercial sex worker in the city.

For those who could be wondering who exactly Yours Truly is blabbering about, hold on!

Yours Truly deliberately chose to brand him a pseudo law enforcer simply because he was not a trained officer like the ones were all know.

He was just one of those picked from the streets to beef up our revered force.

Just as his first name denotes, the boy tried more and more in his pursuit to frustrate innocent members of the public, including some that were his known friends.

His well-avowed nickname has something to do with that other very popular local football team that is now a pale shadow of its past glamour.

Then his surname has connotations of the word — shadow.

Perhaps the surname is an apt description of the shadowy character that he is.

For now, let Yours Truly reserve his energy for next week’s insertion on this other popular prophet and his grand comeback.

Till then!
