Trooper Station, Saturday

The past week had been quiet. One might say too quiet, but Vimes was not such a person. Oh no, not after having various children in his station, looking for their mothers and/or fathers.

This was just the break one needed.

Which meant he was just going to spend the day in his office, procrastinating doing the paperwork that was piling up.

There was a knock on the office door where a man garbed in a black suit and sunglasses stood, a small box under his arm.

"Sam Vines?" he asked.

K pulled the package from under his arm and pulled down his sunglasses an inch or two to re-read the label.

"Right," he said with a nod. "May I see some form of photo identification?"

Turns out Ralph is easily intimidated by a man wearing black.

Go figure.

"Special delivery," K said hold the package up for Vimes to see. "Photo identification is required in such circumstances."

"Postal inspector," K corrected with a flash of his badge. "Division six."

"Not on this island," K said dryly. "I.D. please?"

"It's very... pretty," K deadpanned. "Though it hardly verifies who you are."

"Agent Mannheim," K corrected. "And I hardly make the rules, I only enforce them. You want the package? Or should I just hand it off to the guy in the white armor?"

Ralph would probably like the package. I bet no one sends him anything.

"Yeah, but he's less aggravating than you are," K deadpanned. "And if you are refusing delivery I'll need you to fill out some paperwork stating you have refused said package."

"Not a problem," K said pulling said paperwork from his mail bag and putting it on top of the pile.

And then he took a seat.

"All forms must be witnessed and verified by a duly appointed member of the US Postal service. Go ahead. I can wait."

K put his feet up on Sam's desk, making himself right at home. "You guys allow smoking in here?"

"Good to know," K said taking a pack of cigarettes out and tapping it down bit.

Ralph could suck it.

K nodded as he lit up a cigarette. "New assignment," he said shaking out the match. "Main office has been receiving complaints about delays in delivery."

"And what city would that be?" K asked cocking an eyebrow. "DC?"
