Mom And Her Son Keep Smiling At Officer Then Hand Him Note

He sipped on his hot cup of coffee as he listened to the old rock music playing from the jukebox. It was a cold morning, and he was grateful that he was able to fill his belly with something warm and comforting.

He had already devoured his plate of pancakes, eggs, and bacon. He was getting ready to leave when the young boy came running towards him, handing him a note. But what he read made him jump into action.

Officer Eddy Macintosh was among the many deputies serving in Orleans Parish, Louisiana. A native of New Orleans, Eddy had been an officer throughout the last decade.

Serving for such a long time had ensured Eddy had seen all his county had to offer. But what he’d see that fateful morning would blow all these things out of the water.

That morning began as normal as any other for Eddy. It was a cold Tuesday plagued by a light downpour in the deep of January. As usual, Eddy went for a run around his block and returned home for a shower.

Afterward, he got dressed and left for work. He’d decided at the last minute not to have breakfast, knowing he’d quickly grab a bite at midday after checking in at the station. He had no clue what the day had in store for him.

The station was nearly empty when Eddy clocked in. The sun was only rising, and most other officers were yet to report.

Eddy ran through the day’s objectives and got into his cruiser to start his daily rounds around the parish. If everything went according to plan, he’d have some free time between eleven and noon for breakfast.

The patrol went as well as Eddy hoped. He’d cleared most parts of the parish by ten, and as the hour hand neared eleven, he knew he’d have breakfast as he’d earlier planned.

Eddy drove to his favorite diner as fast as road rules could allow. He greeted the owner with a friendly hug and took a seat at a booth near one of the windows. But as he was perusing through the menu, something caught his eye.
