Topic > Curious, Not Nosy: A Soldier's Welcome Home - 2280

It was during the Christmas season in New York when a plane landed at the airport with a special package. Many families have been anxiously awaiting this moment since the day the packages left; they were absolutely ready to receive their packages again with open arms. Once they laid eyes on their special packages, tears of joy flowed and hugs quickly followed. These families waited and finally saw their beloved relatives return home from service in the armed forces. Everything was perfect in the eyes of all the families at the airport. After the soldiers returned home, the citizens of New York held many special celebrations for the soldiers' return. They thanked them for their service through banners, celebrations, ceremonies and parties. However, this feeling would soon die as quickly as it had grown. At that time I was a newbie in the detective agency. It was my first year in the field, but I was a troublemaker. I was always curious, I often found myself snooping through hidden files and confidential documents. I've been repeatedly caught by my boss, Shucks. Shucks was a man who respected the rules. He strictly followed the rules and did everything smoothly and precisely. He was a superstitious man, he had to do the same routine to get a good result. Shucks handled all investigative cases in a certain way, always starting with the call that the case received. So, as he believes, for the case to be successful, a certain chain of events must occur in a certain sequence. He never questioned anything his superiors said and expected the same from me and my colleagues. He never seemed to care about me because of my, as he called it, nosy status, and this was made evident by my first mission. It was December... middle of the paper... ear . “Are you feeling better, Collin? You seem to breathe easier,” Pop said. I chuckled. “Yes, it seems that way. I can't wait for the next mission." Dad let out a chuckle, "Call me when you have another one, Collin." He walked to his car, waved, and drove away. Now it was just me. and Shucks. We walked in silence to the car. He started the car and headed back to the agency. As we neared our destination, Shucks confessed, “Collin, I was a little hard on you at first, but you really came through. to complete this mission. I owe you an apology, newbie. I take back what I said about your nosy status. I actually think that curious and curious are the right adjectives this time your curious personality. We need more people like you, Collin. Be surprised if you get a call soon and remember to answer the phone”
