Honolulu police officer Katrina Ogden, K.O., sat slumped at her desk, chin in hand, dispiritedly surveying the four foot high stack of paper in the corner.<\/p>\n

The Sergeant’s Exam materials.<\/p>\n

She had started to study. Several times. It just seemed like something always interrupted her.\u00a0 She did take some of it home to work on late at night after her 3:00 to 11:00 P.M. shift in Evidence.\u00a0 That had been the problem–late at night.\u00a0 With the best of intentions, she would sit at her dining room table, stiff and uncomfortable, bright light glaring onto the pages.\u00a0 It did no good.\u00a0 She drifted off to sleep and woke hours later with a crick in her neck and no idea of what she’d read.<\/p>\n

The exam, designed by a clerk test preparer at the city and county level, not a cop, was nearly impossible to study for<\/em>.\u00a0 It could encompass anything from union rules to police standards and conduct.\u00a0 It was a “crapshoot”, as others gone before had told K.O.<\/p>\n

She sighed, rubbed her face and ran her fingers through her short, red hair.\u00a0 This wasn’t getting anything done, much less preparing for the exam.\u00a0 She told herself she’d finish checking the forms stacked on her desk against the evidence submitted, then she’d crack the penal code book.\u00a0 Again.<\/p>\n

As the head of Evidence on her shift, one of her tasks was to make sure that evidence logged in was actually what and where it was said to be.\u00a0 She picked up the log on her way to the Evidence room in the main office.<\/p>\n

She unlocked the door and stepped inside the cavernous room.\u00a0 Metal shelves lined the walls up to the ceiling, and more rows divided the room into narrow aisles–a bizarre warehouse of people’s lives torn apart by crime.<\/p>\n

The room was further divided by types of crime and evidence. Separate sections for weapons, homicide, drugs.\u00a0 Larger pieces of evidence, such as cars, were in a different, roomier location.<\/p>\n

She passed by the boogie board with the large, jagged semi-circular bite missing.\u00a0 During her first tour of the evidence locker, she’d asked why this obvious, but sinister-looking item was included.\u00a0 It was considered evidence in a Missing Person’s case, because a body had never been recovered.\u00a0 Every time she passed it, she thought, “Duh.\u00a0 He’s going to be missing for a long time.”<\/p>\n

She walked among the shelves, matching tag numbers to items, trying not to absorb the impact of thousands of objects, some bloodied and mangled, others more innocuous looking, that represented unsolved crimes.\u00a0 It saddened her to think that so many cases would never be closed, meaning that all those families touched by them would have no end.\u00a0 In self-defense, she shut them all out, those small voices asking for help, and briskly moved through the shadowy room.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
