Jimmy returned to the station and first went to the Vehicle Management Department to hand over the ticket. As expected, in non-special circumstances like his, he had to pay for the ticket himself, which was tragic. Jimmy reluctantly took out his wallet, paid the fine, and then it was up to the Vehicle Management Department to deal with the rest.
Having been an officer and detective for over three years, this was the first time he received a ticket. Aside from acknowledging his bad luck, there was nothing else he could do. For other types of fines, he might have had a chance to appeal and possibly get it dismissed, but there was no recourse for obstructive parking, the fire hydrant certainly wouldn't move on its own, and it was simply a case of his own oversight.
Feeling dejected, Jimmy returned to his office and sat for a while before he got up and went to Hughes's office. He knocked on the door, "Thump thump," Hughes looked up and said, "Come in. Jimmy, is something the matter?"
