At his house, the waves of the ocean could be heard. It was a relaxing sound and he enjoyed sitting outside on clear nights and listening to it. It only seemed natural since he hardly was able to sleep. Here in town however, it was a completely different sound. It was noisy to say the least. He worked as chief of the fire station which was surrounded by buildings. In fact, he found himself here on call than home in his own little house that was probably comparable to a shack. He preferred it. He was one person and he lived alone and most of the time, he wasn't home.
Right now he found himself in the fire station, sitting on the second floor in his office and behind a wooden desk. Most desks had papers scattered upon them but Lee had them all neatly in categorized stacks so that they could easily be found. All his pens were in their holder and paperclips color coded on the magnet they were sticking to. This could only be done by the works of someone who was quite OCD which Lee was. In the Office there was not a stain on the floor, nor any form of trash except in the wastebin beside his desk. He was writing on a form after doing a fire safety inspection at one of the local shops. They were to be done periodically and Lee liked to promptly fill out the paperwork and file it away.
He finished and scooted back away from his desk, walking over to his file cabinet and filing it in one of the folders. He closed the drawer gently and sighed dropping his hand to his side and going to the window to stare at the street below. He knew he had more work that needed to get done. The blacksmith shop would probably be the most work to deal with so he decided against going there for the time being. He turned and walked over to his desk and pulled a small cup into his hand and sipped on the herbal tea inside. He closed his eyes enjoying the warmth go down his throat and turning to walk back over to the window. It was silent in his station today. No telling where the others had run off to. He shook his head slightly before deciding he might just take a walk down the street. His stomach was informing him of a skipped breakfast and he was lacking groceries in the station fridge. He grimaced not liking the idea of a crowded morning but it had to be done. He finished up his tea before grabbing his uniform jacket and putting it on over his white undershirt.
Now downstairs he locked the door so no one would come in that wasn't allowed and stepped into the cool morning air. He hung his thumbs on his front pockets and began walking. The restaurant and cafe were both nearby and right beside each other. Food was easy to get but it was hard to decide which one he would go to. The bakery would have sweet food and that turned Lee away from it. Perhaps it would be best to stay away from overly sweet things. He instead stopped in front of the restaurant and looked at it. Was it really worth it? His stomach was suggesting yes but his brain was saying otherwise. "Perhaps I can just get something to go..." He stated to himself. He cocked his head slightly to the side. Had he already inspected this place? Was it overdue to do? He had to think to himself then shook his head, No, the restaurant was clear for now. He stepped inside looking around curiously. It seemed awfully loud this morning. Surely he could just get his food and go without much of a problem.
