Prompt # 43 Reasons you do the job you do.

Why do I do the job I do? I don''t know, to rescue the girl, stop the bad guy...No I became a cop...I became a cop because I didn't want to wind up the way my father did. In the neighbourhood I grew up in there weren't many career options. I could have gone and worked for Frankie. I could have pretended to be somebody but I didn't want to do that.

I didn't want to wind up spending all my days in the pool hall, or my nights in some seedy bar. I wanted to do something else with my life, something different to Pop. You know the best part? My father hated the idea of me being a cop. It was the one thing I did that he couldn't stop me from doing.

I get to help people, not hurt them. I get to put the bad guys away. It's not been easy but it's worth it. It's worth it.
