"JIM. JIM, JIM, JIM, JIM, ya won't guess who I met!" Leonard zipped to a seat in front of the recently promoted officer sitting at a table holding a cup in his hands in uniform.

"Superman," Kirk replied.

"No, no, no. no. no," Leonard shook his head. "I think I met a version of Dracula with butterfly win's!"

"Bones," Kirk said, raising an eyebrow in disbelief. "really?"

"Uh huh," Leonard said. "since ya an officer of the law, can ya. . . look into someone named. . . Spock? Just Spock. I like to know if he has an address."

"Now, doctor, you know I can't do that," Kirk said, leaning away from the sweater dressed older man.

"He is handsome, he is majestic, he is amazing, he is breathtaking and tall," Leonard said. "he has uniforms so different from ours that are just. . . different. It's like scifi meets fantasy except not layered or ragged. It fits his muscular body," Kirk raised another brow. "in fact, I bet that he goes to the same exercise facility like ya. Ya get the point." Leonard lowered his hands. "he has eyeliner. Very, gorgeous, admiring eyeliner. He is mysterious. He is a traveler. He has a black bowl hair cut. He has pointy ears. Pointy, large ears!" the doctor repeated gesturing toward his ears. "And I think I have a thin' for him. And I want to send him flowers."

"Hold on," Kirk said. "you like a random stranger who popped up. . . where?"

"The beach," Leonard said.

"At what time?" Kirk said.

"Not sure," Leonard said.

"He could be one of those silicon or federal agents testing out new gear and ways to trick people," Kirk said. "I believe in aliens just not the kind that are manufactured by man."

"He is an alien all right," Leonard said. "he is emotionless," the doctor snickered, looking back back at the unusual man's short live small smile. The moonlight cascading along the side of Spock's face. "Or at least he tries to be."

"Sounds like a elf," Kirk said.

"Elves don't have glitterin' wings, Jim," Leonard said. "and I know that he is not a fairy."

"And you said he was tall," Kirk said. "some fairies are known to make themselves tall. He could be a fairy."

"Elves are normally colors other than green," Leonard said. "green elves are aliens."

"He is green?" Kirk asked. Leonard nodded in return.

"Green as they come," Leonard said. "not green as the grass. Just a light shade of it. Very light."

"That is a interesting development," Kirk said.

"I wouldn't forget walking down a beach with a man that easily," Leonard said. "he talked about the seashells, the turtles, the sharks, and the plankton's. . ." Leonard had a dreamily sigh. "then he finished it off that he had to go and might not see me again." Leonard's eyes were faced in the direction of the window ignoring the officer looking back at the eased, lovely night that he had shared with the man. A delighted, overjoyed smile grew on the police officer's face as something clicked in his mind at recognition.

"You are in love," Kirk said. "Hopelessly in love."

"I think so," Leonard said. "I am crushin' on him."

"I will see what I can do," Kirk said. "can you draw a picture of him? For reference. I know a sketch artist who'll do it for free."

"Sure, I can do that," Leonard said.

"And . . . " Kirk started. "please, be safe," he reached forward placing a hand on the doctor's smaller hand. "there was a dead body found this morning on the beach."

"It wasn't my beach," Leonard said.

"Just be on the look out, okay?" Kirk asked, once more.

"All right," Leonard said. "if ya investigate him and give me his address."

"I can do that," Kirk said. "Were you up all night?"

"Me?" Leonard asked. The good doctor laughed. "Up all night?" he looked at the officer incredulously. ". . Well. . . It depends how ya define night." the doctor rubbed the back of his neck, sheepishly. "Ya would have done the same if ya were in my shoes."

"I would have," Kirk said, in agreement. "I will check him out for you. in exchange that I take Joanna to the best kid movie ever."

"All right, all right, all right," Leonard said. "If ya want to take her so bad then feel free on the weekend."

"You won't regret it," Kirk said.

"I know I won't," Leonard asked. "get any vandals this mornin'?"

"You know it's too early in the morning for that," Kirk said, then took a sip from his coffee. He lowered his cup with a gulp. "I hope your day is going to be more exciting than mine." Leonard stared at the man with a expression that just defied belief.

"You're never goin' to live down the fartin' patient I told ya about, are ya?" Leonard asked, earning a wide, beaming smile from the man.

"That is more exciting than having to catch a thief during traffic," Kirk said.

Leonard shook his head then took sip from the tea.

"Ya and bein' a traffic officer," Leonard said.

"I sit a lot," Kirk said. "So much sitting."

"At least ya get to reread your favorite novels," Leonard said. "I don't know how ya can do it. Readin' and payin' attention to what is goin' on out there."

"Life finds a way," Kirk said.
