“You can’t shut out the world forever, Tubbs Purebottom!” his mother used to yell from their New York apartment.

And now, here he was again, sitting alone on a park bench with a pair of LTB Audio HSMT-UD 5.1 USB Folding Surround Sound Headphones, pushing everyone away.

It hadn’t been his fault. He’d reacted without thinking; he’d pulled his gun and shot at the dark shadow when he heard the sound of a weapon being cocked. He never meant to shoot that thirteen year old kid. But that’s what happened. And now, Tubbs didn’t want to listen to anyone. He just wanted to lose himself in the SafeBass Technology of the LTB Audio HSMT-UD 5.1 USB Folding Surround Sound Headphones and the music he had saved on his department issue lapto-

“Looking for this, partner?” Tubbs removed his LTB Audio HSMT-UD 5.1 USB Folding Surround Sound Headphones, folding them neatly for easy storage, as his partner, Sonny Justice, sat down on the bench. “I knew you were lookin’ for a day off, Tubbs, but I didn’t think you’d run out without your laptop!”

“That ain’t my laptop now, Sonny,” Tubbs said as he covered his eyes. “That’s a cop laptop. I ain’t no cop.”

“When’d you sleep last, partner? You look like hell.”

Tubbs smirked behind his hand. “I ain’t slept in days. I keep replaying it in my mind! What if I’d just shot a little to the left, or the right? What if, Sonny?”

Sonny took hold of the LTB Audio HSMT-UD 5.1 USB Folding Surround Sound Headphones and plugged them into the laptop’s USB port.

“What are you doing, Sonny?” asked Tubbs.

“Just shut up,” replied Sonny. “Shut up and watch the movie.”

Tubbs pulled on his LTB Audio HSMT-UD 5.1 USB Folding Surround Sound Headphones and began to watch the movie. He could see the halls of the county hospital, hear the sound of laughter, clear laughter, laughter that he was able to hear easily since the LTB Audio HSMT-UD 5.1 USB Folding Surround Sound Headphones didn’t require a soundcard, and then… there was the kid!

“Sonny!”

Sonny Justice smiled at his friend, his partner, his fellow cop. “The doctors say that kid’s gonna be all right. You only grazed him. Guess you need a little more time on the shooting range, pal.”

“The range? Then… I’m back on duty?”

Sonny held up his hands. “Whoa, there! The boss says it’s up to me when to let you back on the job. And right now, I’m saying you need at least another week. I mean, look at you! You haven’t even slept! My reputation’s on the line! So I was thinking, I’d take you somewhere, tire you out, get you sleeping again… what about Las Vegas?”

Tubbs looked down at the two tickets his partner was holding. And, for the first time in a week, he began to laugh.
