He’s a cop, but he’s also a kindergarten teacher, and he may have met his match in more ways than one.

Prologue:
Hard-edged cop John Kimble had seen it all. He had faced criminals of all types, from petty thieves to organized crime syndicates. But even he was unprepared for the assignment that awaited him. When his boss called him in for a meeting, Kimble was already apprehensive. He had a feeling that this wouldn’t be an ordinary case.
As he entered the conference room, he saw a team of agents and detectives waiting for him. They briefed him on the case: a brutal drug lord was operating in the city, and they had been trying to bring him down for months. But they had hit a dead end – the drug lord was too careful, too elusive.
That’s when they hit Kimble with the bombshell. They wanted him to go undercover as a kindergarten teacher and infiltrate the drug lord’s organization. Kimble was shocked. A kindergarten teacher? He had no experience in teaching, let alone dealing with toddlers.
But the agents were persuasive. They told him that the drug lord’s young son was enrolled in a local kindergarten, and they needed someone to keep an eye on him. Kimble was hesitant, but he knew he had no choice. He accepted the assignment, knowing that it could be the toughest mission of his career.
Chapter 1: The New Assignment
Kimble walked into the school, his heart pounding in his chest. This was it. The assignment that would make or break him. He was going to be a kindergarten teacher.
He walked into the classroom and was greeted by a group of 20 boisterous moppets, all eager to start their day. Kimble felt a wave of panic wash over him. How was he supposed to keep these kids under control?
He took a deep breath and addressed the class. “Good morning, children. My name is Mr. Kimble, and I’ll be your new teacher for the next few weeks.”
The kids all looked at him with wide eyes, taking in the sight of the tall, imposing man standing before them. Kimble felt like a fish out of water. He had to keep reminding himself that he was here on a mission, and he had to stay focused.
As the day progressed, Kimble quickly realized that he was in way over his head. The kids were rowdy, disobedient, and impossible to wrangle. They climbed on tables, spilled paint everywhere, and refused to sit still for even a moment. Kimble was at his wits’ end.
But despite the chaos, there was something endearing about the kids. They were innocent, curious, and full of life. They reminded Kimble of a part of himself that he had forgotten – the part that was once optimistic, hopeful, and unburdened by the weight of the world.
As the days turned into weeks, Kimble found himself growing attached to his students. He learned their individual quirks and personalities, and he started to have a soft spot for them. He would never admit it to anyone, but he started to look forward to his days in the classroom.
But even as he bonded with the kids, he never forgot his mission. He knew that he had to keep his eyes peeled for any clues that might lead him to the drug lord. He started to suspect the people surrounding the drug lord, including the school principal and the father of one of his students.
Kimble’s life became a balancing act – he had to keep his cover intact while also keeping the kids safe from harm. It wasn’t easy, but he knew that he had to see it through to the end.
As he walked out of the school at the end of the day, he felt exhausted but fulfilled. He might not have been cut out to be a kindergarten teacher, but he was starting to see the value in the job. It wasn’t just about keeping kids in line – it was about nurturing their potential, encouraging their creativity, and helping them become the best versions of themselves.
Kimble had a long road ahead of him, but he was ready to face whatever challenges came his way. He was undercover, and he was a kindergarten teacher. And somehow, he was going to make it work.
Chapter 2: The First Day
Hard-edged cop John Kimble couldn’t believe his new assignment. He was supposed to pose as a kindergarten teacher to get evidence on a brutal drug lord and protect his young son. It sounded easy enough on paper, but once he stepped into the classroom, he realized he had no idea what he was getting himself into.
The class was filled with boisterous moppets, all chattering away and bouncing off the walls. They seemed completely oblivious to the fact that a new teacher had entered the room, and continued with their noisy play.
Kimble took a deep breath and tried to compose himself. He knew that if he wanted to succeed in his mission, he needed to gain the trust of his students. He cleared his throat and spoke in a stern voice.
“Good morning, class. My name is Mr. Kimble and I’ll be your new teacher.”
The response he got was a chorus of giggles and shouts. Some of the kids were crawling under desks and others were climbing on top of them. A few were even throwing paper airplanes around the room.
Kimble’s patience was being tested, but he refused to show it. He knew that he had to establish authority if he was going to get anywhere with these kids.
“Alright, that’s enough,” Kimble said in a firm tone. “Everyone in their seats, now.”
Slowly but surely, the kids started to settle down. Kimble walked around the room, making sure all the students were seated and paying attention. He could see that some of the kids were sizing him up, trying to figure out if he was someone they could push around.
“Okay, let’s get started,” Kimble said, addressing the class. “Today, we’re going to be learning about the alphabet. Who can tell me the first letter?”
A few hands shot up, and Kimble picked a student to answer.
“A!” the student shouted, beaming with pride.
“Very good,” Kimble said. “Now, let’s all say it together. A!”
The class repeated the letter in unison, some of them more enthusiastically than others.
Kimble tried to maintain control over the class, but he could feel his nerves starting to fray. He had never been particularly good with kids, and this was an entirely new challenge for him.
The rest of the morning passed in a blur of chaos and noise. Kimble struggled to keep the kids on task and engaged, while also keeping an eye out for any clues that might lead him to the drug lord.
At lunchtime, Kimble was relieved to have a few moments of peace and quiet. He retreated to the teachers’ lounge to eat his sandwich and take a breather.
But his peace was short-lived. Just as he was finishing up, he heard a commotion outside. He peeked through the window and saw a group of kids running around and screaming.
Kimble rushed out to investigate. When he got outside, he saw that some of the students had gotten into a scuffle over a ball. One boy was crying, and the others were arguing over who had started it.
Kimble stepped in and quickly diffused the situation, but he was left feeling even more frazzled than before.
The rest of the day was a blur of activity. Kimble tried to keep his students engaged and on task, but he was constantly battling against their short attention spans and boisterous behavior. By the time the final bell rang, he was exhausted.
As he gathered his things to leave, the school principal approached him.
“How did it go, Mr. Kimble?” she asked.
Kimble paused for a moment, trying to gather his thoughts.
“It was…challenging,” he said, finally. “But I think I’m up for the task.”
The principal smiled and patted him on the back.
“I have no doubt that you’ll do just fine,” she said.
Kimble smiled weakly back at her, feeling like he had just barely survived his first day as a kindergarten teacher. But he knew that he couldn’t let his guard down, not even for a moment. The drug lord was out there, somewhere, and he needed to find him before it was too late.
Chapter 3: Getting to Know the Kids
As the days went by, John Kimble started to feel more comfortable in his new role as a kindergarten teacher. He had grown used to waking up early in the morning and preparing activities for his class. He had never worked with children before, but he found himself enjoying their company more and more each day.
One morning, as he was preparing for class, one of his students, a little girl named Cindy, walked up to him and said, “Good morning, Mr. Kimble! I drew a picture for you!” She handed him a piece of paper that had colourful scribbles on it. “It’s a picture of you and me at the park,” she said.
John smiled, “Wow, Cindy! What a wonderful drawing! Thank you so much!” He took the drawing and taped it to the wall of his classroom.
As the class started, John sat down at the low table in front of the children. They were all sitting on colourful cushions, legs crossed. “Good morning, everyone!” he said, smiling. “Today, we are going to learn about shapes!”
He held up a big yellow circle and asked, “What shape is this?” The children eagerly raised their hands, shouting out answers. “It’s a circle!” “A yellow circle!” “It looks like the sun!” John nodded and smiled.
He continued the lesson, showing the children different shapes and colours. He was surprised to find that he had a natural talent for teaching. His students were engaged, asking questions and laughing at his jokes.
There was a particularly rambunctious boy in the class, named Dominic, who always seemed to be getting into trouble. He had a wild imagination and often got carried away with his ideas. One day, he came up to John and said, “Mr. Kimble, guess what? I’m a superhero! I can fly! Watch me!” He jumped onto a nearby table and flapped his arms like wings.
John chuckled, “Wow! You’re pretty amazing, Dominic!” He gently took him off the table and set him back on the ground. “But we can’t be jumping on tables during class, okay?”
Dominic nodded, “Okay, Mr. Kimble. Sorry.”
As the day went on, John found that he was getting to know his students better. He learned that Cindy loved to draw pictures of animals, while a boy named Zachary was obsessed with trains. He discovered that there was a budding artist in the class, a shy girl named Emily, who had a natural talent for drawing.
John was starting to feel a sense of attachment to his students. He cared about their well-being and wanted to see them succeed. He realized that their safety was his responsibility, and he took that role seriously.
After class, John stayed behind to tidy up the classroom. While he was putting away the art supplies, he noticed a drawing on the floor. It was a picture of him, wearing a superhero cape, with the words “Mr. Kimble, my hero!” written in block letters.
He smiled to himself, picked up the picture, and put it in his desk drawer. As he left the building, he felt a sense of pride in his work. He was making a difference in the lives of these children, and that thought made him happy.
However, he knew that he had a bigger mission to accomplish. He couldn’t afford to get too attached to his students. He reminded himself that he was there to gather evidence and bring down a dangerous criminal. He couldn’t let anything distract him from his goal.
And so, John Kimble continued to teach his class, with a newfound appreciation for the joys of teaching and a renewed determination to bring down the drug lord.
Chapter 4: The Suspects
John Kimble sat at his desk, pouring over the notes he had taken during his time at the school. He had been undercover for weeks, trying to gather evidence on the drug lord who had his son enrolled in the kindergarten class. Kimble had never been good at playing the long game, but he knew it was necessary to catch the bad guys.
As he went through his notes, Kimble started to piece together the possible suspects. He knew it could be anyone, from the school principal to the father of one of his students. Kimble had to be careful not to raise any suspicion while he continued his investigation.
He pulled out the file on the school principal and started to read through it. Charles Davis had been the principal of the school for over a decade and had a clean record. But Kimble knew better than to trust appearances. He decided to pay Davis a visit to see if he could gather any information.
When Kimble arrived at the principal’s office, he was greeted by a friendly smile. Davis was an older man with thinning grey hair and a well-trimmed beard. Kimble couldn’t help but think he looked trustworthy, but he knew better than to let his guard down.
“Officer Kimble, what brings you to my office?” Davis asked, gesturing for him to take a seat.
“I just wanted to check in and see how things were going at the school,” Kimble replied smoothly.
“Oh, everything seems to be going smoothly. The kids are all doing well, and the teachers are on top of things,” Davis said with a smile.
Kimble decided to push a little further. “I’ve been working on a case, and I was wondering if you might have seen anything suspicious around the school lately.”
Davis frowned slightly. “No, I can’t say that I have. Is there something specific you’re looking for?”
Kimble shook his head. “Just anything out of the ordinary. We’re trying to keep a close eye on things around here.”
Davis nodded. “Of course, I understand. Well, if I hear or see anything, I’ll be sure to let you know.”
Kimble thanked him for his time and left the office. He didn’t think Davis was the culprit, but he couldn’t help but feel like he was missing something.
Next on his list was the father of one of his students, Cullen Crisp. Crisp was a known drug lord in the area and had a reputation for being ruthless. Kimble knew that if he was going to catch the bad guys, he had to get close to Crisp.
Kimble knew it was a risk, but he decided to pay Crisp a visit at his mansion. He went prepared, wearing a wire to capture any incriminating evidence.
As he walked up the driveway, he couldn’t help but feel like he was walking into a trap. But he had a job to do, and he couldn’t let his fears stop him.
The door was answered by a burly man with a scowl on his face. “What do you want?” he grumbled.
“I’m here to see Mr. Crisp,” Kimble said, trying to sound confident.
The man eyed him suspiciously but eventually let him in. Kimble was led to a large room, where Crisp was seated behind a massive desk. The room was filled with expensive artwork and upholstered furniture. Kimble couldn’t help but feel out of place.
“What do you want?” Crisp asked, without looking up from his paperwork.
“I want to talk to you about your son’s education,” Kimble said, trying to sound casual.
Crisp finally looked up and gave him a once-over. “And why should I care about my son’s education?”
Kimble shifted in his seat, feeling the wire pressing against his skin. “Well, as a father, you must want your son to have the best possible education, right?”
Crisp snorted. “You don’t know a damn thing about me or my son. What’s this really about?”
Kimble took a deep breath. “I’ve been investigating a drug lord in the area, and I think you might have some information that could be useful.”
Crisp’s eyes narrowed. “And what makes you think I know anything?”
Kimble leaned forward, trying to appear sincere. “Your son was in my class, and I couldn’t help but notice some unusual behaviors. I think he might be in danger.”
Crisp leaned back in his chair, eyeing Kimble suspiciously. “And what do you expect me to do about it?”
Kimble knew he had to tread carefully. “I just want your help in keeping your son safe. If you have any information that could be useful, it could help us catch the people who are threatening him.”
Crisp leaned forward, studying Kimble’s face. “You better be telling the truth, officer. If I find out you’re lying, there will be consequences.”
Kimble nodded, knowing the danger he was in. “I swear on my badge that I’m telling the truth.”
Crisp grunted and reached into his desk drawer, pulling out a file. “This is all the information I have. You didn’t get it from me.”
Kimble took the file and thanked Crisp before making a hasty exit. He couldn’t believe he had risked so much for a few scraps of information, but he knew it was a start.
As he drove back to the school, Kimble couldn’t help but feel exhilarated. He had gotten closer to his suspect, but he knew he had a long way to go before he could catch the bad guys.
The case was starting to consume him, and he knew he needed to be careful. But he couldn’t help but feel like he was getting closer to the truth.
Chapter 5: A Trip to the Museum
As John Kimble led his students through the cavernous halls of the museum, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of dread. He had taken his class on a field trip in order to keep up appearances as a kindergarten teacher, but he was worried about the potential dangers of being in public with his class. He was always on high alert, scanning the crowds for any sign of danger.
But the children seemed entirely oblivious to the potential dangers of the situation. They chatted excitedly with each other, pointing out different exhibits and asking Kimble questions about the various displays. Kimble tried to keep control of the situation, but it seemed like every time he turned his back, the children went off in different directions.
At one point, Kimble realized that he had lost track of one of his students. He did a quick headcount and realized that it was Sally, a precocious little girl who was always eager to explore. Kimble started to panic, imagining all sorts of terrible scenarios where Sally was lost or kidnapped.
He raced through the crowds, calling out her name. He checked every exhibit, every stairwell, every bathroom. But Sally was nowhere to be found. Kimble’s heart sank with fear. He couldn’t imagine how he was going to explain this to her parents.
Just as Kimble was about to call for backup, he heard a small voice calling out to him. “Mr. Kimble! Over here!”
Kimble turned around to see Sally waving to him from the other side of a dinosaur exhibit. Relief flooded over him as he hurried over to her.
“Sally, don’t ever wander off like that again,” Kimble scolded her. “I was worried sick about you.”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Kimble,” Sally said, her eyes downcast.
Kimble sighed and ruffled her hair. “It’s alright, Sally. Just stick with the group from now on, okay?”
Sally nodded obediently, and Kimble led her back to the rest of the class. But as they walked, Kimble couldn’t shake the feeling that something was amiss. He felt like he was being watched, like there was a pair of eyes following his every move.
Suddenly, there was a commotion up ahead. Kimble saw a group of men in black suits converging on a small exhibit in the corner of the room. His heart raced as he realized that they were armed, and that they had their guns drawn.
Kimble knew that he had to get his class out of the museum as quickly as possible. He didn’t know what was going on, but he had a feeling that it was connected to his undercover mission. He had to keep his students safe at all costs.
“Alright, kids, we’re leaving now,” Kimble said, trying to keep his voice calm. “We’re going to walk out of here quietly and quickly, and we’re not going to look back. Is that clear?”
The children nodded, their eyes wide with fear. Kimble led them out of the exhibit hall and towards the exit. But as they turned the corner, they were confronted by another group of armed men.
Kimble knew he was in trouble. He had to get his students out of harm’s way, but he was outnumbered and outgunned. He had to think fast.
He quickly assessed the situation and saw that there was a stairwell nearby. It was a risky move, but he decided to take his chances and lead his class towards it.
“Follow me!” he shouted, grabbing Sally’s hand and sprinting up the stairs.
The children followed him, their tiny legs pumping as fast as they could. Kimble could hear the sound of gunfire behind them, and he knew that they were in danger.
But just as they reached the top of the stairs, an unexpected twist changed the situation. The sprinkler systems suddenly activated, drenching everyone in the area. The sound of gunfire ceased, and Kimble realized that the assailants had fled.
Kimble led his class outside and breathed a sigh of relief. They were safe.
As they waited for the police to arrive, Kimble tried to calm his students down. He knew that they were traumatized by the events that had just unfolded, and that he had to be there for them. He hugged each of them in turn, reassuring them that everything was going to be okay.
In that moment, Kimble realized that he had grown attached to his students. They were more than just pawns in his undercover mission; they were real, living, breathing human beings with fears and hopes and dreams. He felt a surge of protectiveness towards them, and he vowed to keep them safe at all costs.
As they were led out of the museum by the police, Kimble couldn’t help but wonder what other dangers lay ahead. But he knew that he had to keep going. He had a mission to complete, and he had a responsibility to his students. He couldn’t let them down.
Chapter 6: The Unexpected Romance
The day started like any other for John Kimble. He woke up early, got dressed, and headed to the school where he had been undercover as a kindergarten teacher for the past few weeks. He was still adjusting to the role, but he was starting to find his rhythm, thanks in part to his fellow teacher, Joyce.
Joyce was a young, attractive woman with a quick wit and infectious laugh. She had been a teacher at the school for a few years, and she had taken John under her wing, helping him navigate the sometimes chaotic world of kindergarten. John found himself drawn to her, but he tried to keep his feelings buried deep.
However, that all changed on this day. John had arrived early to the school, as he often did, and he found Joyce in the break room. She was pouring herself a cup of coffee, and she turned when she heard John come in.
“Good morning, John,” she said with a smile.
“Good morning, Joyce,” John replied, returning the smile. He couldn’t help but notice how beautiful she looked today. Her soft blonde hair was pulled back in a ponytail, and she wore a simple white blouse and black skirt.
As they chatted, John found himself opening up to Joyce in a way he hadn’t with anyone else. He told her about the stresses of his job as a cop and how he felt like he was losing touch with his humanity. Joyce listened attentively, and when he finished, she put a comforting hand on his arm.
“I know how hard it can be,” she said softly. “But you’re doing a great job with the kids. You’re making a difference in their lives.”
John felt a warmth spread through him at her words. He had never felt this way about anyone before, and he didn’t know what to do with the feelings. He tried to push them down, to focus on his job, but they kept bubbling to the surface.
As the day went on, John found himself stealing glances at Joyce whenever he could. He admired the way she interacted with the kids, the way they looked up to her. And when they worked together on a lesson plan, he found himself feeling an unexpected sense of camaraderie.
That afternoon, John found himself alone in the office with Joyce. They had been working on paperwork, and John was starting to feel restless. He didn’t know how much longer he could keep his feelings for Joyce bottled up.
“Joyce,” he said, breaking the silence. “I need to tell you something.”
Joyce turned to him, her eyes curious. “What is it?”
John took a deep breath. “I know this might be awkward, but I can’t help the way I feel. I’ve been trying to ignore it, but I can’t anymore. Joyce, I think I’m falling in love with you.”
There was a moment of stunned silence as Joyce processed his words. Then, to John’s surprise, she started to laugh.
“John, you’re such a goofball,” she said, shaking her head. “Why didn’t you say something sooner?”
John was taken aback. He had expected rejection, or at the very least a hesitant response. He certainly hadn’t expected Joyce to be so flippant about it.
“What do you mean?” he asked, his heart racing.
Joyce took a step closer to him and placed her hand on his chest. “John, I’ve been feeling the same way about you. I was starting to think you didn’t feel the same.”
John felt like the wind had been knocked out of him. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing. Joyce felt the same way? It was almost too good to be true.
They didn’t waste any more time talking. They leaned in and kissed each other, a soft, tentative kiss that quickly deepened. John felt like he was on fire. He had never felt this way before, and he knew he was in trouble. He was falling hard for Joyce, and he didn’t know how to stop.
As they parted, Joyce looked up at him, a mischievous glint in her eyes. “You know, John,” she said, smiling. “I always did have a thing for men in uniform.”
John laughed, feeling a weight lifted off his shoulders. He knew there would be challenges ahead, but for now, he was just happy to be with Joyce. He knew that this unexpected romance would change everything, but he was ready for the adventure.
Chapter 7: The Showdown
Kimble had finally gathered enough evidence to bring the drug lord to justice. He had spent weeks infiltrating the man’s organization, gathering information, and building a case. And now he was ready to make his move.
The plan was to meet the drug lord at a remote location for a deal. Kimble would pose as a buyer, and the drug lord would bring the goods. But what the criminal mastermind didn’t know was that the police were waiting for him. They would swoop in and make the arrest when the time was right.
Kimble was nervous as he drove to the meeting spot. He knew that this could be dangerous, but he also knew that he had to do it. Lives were at stake, and he was the only one who could stop the drug lord.
When he arrived at the location, he saw the drug lord’s car parked at the edge of a deserted lot. Kimble got out of his own car and walked over, his heart pounding in his chest. He knew that this could be the moment of truth.
As he approached the car, he saw the drug lord sitting inside, surrounded by his henchmen. The man was a towering figure, his face hardened by years of criminal activity. Kimble had to admit, he was scared.
But he didn’t let it show. He walked up to the car, his eyes locked on the drug lord’s, and said, “I’m here for the merchandise.”
The drug lord nodded and motioned for one of his men to open the trunk of the car. In it, Kimble saw stacks of money and bags of drugs. He knew that this was his chance.
But just as he was about to signal the police, something unexpected happened. The drug lord’s son, who Kimble had been protecting all this time, suddenly appeared from behind a nearby building. The boy had followed his father, and now he was in danger.
Kimble acted quickly. He signaled the police to hold off and approached the car. He told the drug lord that he had to take the boy with him, that it was part of the deal. The drug lord hesitated at first, but Kimble was persuasive. He told the man that it was the only way he could ensure that he wasn’t being set up.
The drug lord finally relented, and Kimble helped the boy into his car. But just as they were about to drive away, the drug lord’s henchmen realized what was happening. They drew their guns and started firing at Kimble’s car.
Kimble hit the gas and swerved through the lot, trying to avoid the bullets. The drug lord’s car followed close behind, and Kimble knew that this was going to be a real showdown.
They raced through the streets, swerving around other cars and pedestrians. Kimble’s car was hit by a bullet, and he heard the sound of shattering glass. But he didn’t let it slow him down. He had to get the boy to safety.
Finally, they reached a dead end. Kimble slammed on the brakes and jumped out of the car, pulling the boy with him. The drug lord’s car screeched to a halt, and the man got out, his gun drawn.
Kimble and the drug lord faced off, their guns aimed at each other. It was a tense moment, and Kimble knew that he had to act fast. He fired first, hitting the drug lord in the arm. The man fell to the ground, and Kimble rushed to disarm him.
The police arrived just as he was putting cuffs on the drug lord. They took the criminal away, along with his henchmen. Kimble and the boy were safe.
But the victory was bittersweet. Kimble had risked his life, and it was clear that he had to pay a price. He had broken the rules, gone rogue, and put innocent lives at risk. He knew that there would be consequences.
As he looked down at the boy, safe and sound, he knew that he had done the right thing. He had protected him, and in the process, he had found a new purpose. He no longer wanted to be a hardened cop, he wanted to teach. He wanted to make a difference in the lives of kids like this boy, to give them a chance at a better life.
And as he drove away from the scene, he knew that he had found a new calling. He was no longer just a cop, he was a teacher. And he was ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
Chapter 8: Moving Forward
Kimble had accomplished his mission, but the aftermath of his actions left him with a heavy heart. He had saved the young boy and brought down the drug lord and his associates, but the price he paid was steep. The trauma of it all was too much to bear, and he found himself struggling to come to terms with the weight of his actions.
Joyce, his fellow teacher, helped him cope with the aftermath. They spent countless hours talking and bonding, and Kimble found himself slowly healing from the trauma. He found himself appreciating the joys of teaching, and he realized that he had found a new purpose in life beyond being a hardened cop.
Kimble had never been one to shy away from his emotions, and he found himself expressing them more than ever before. Joyce became his confidante and his rock, and he found himself falling for her more and more.
One day, as they were grading papers together in the teacher’s lounge, Kimble mustered up the courage to tell her how he felt. He professed his love to her, and to his surprise, she reciprocated.
They started dating, and it was like nothing he had ever experienced. Joyce was patient, kind, and caring, and Kimble could not believe he had found someone who loved him for who he was, flaws and all.
The kids in his class also noticed a change in him. They could sense that he was happier, more patient, and more caring. They had grown to love and respect him, and he had become a role model for them.
One day, as they were having their morning circle time, one of the kids, who had been particularly rowdy, raised his hand and asked Kimble a question: “Mr. Kimble, are you a superhero?”
Kimble laughed and replied, “No, I’m just a teacher.”
The child replied, “But you saved us from the bad guys. That’s what superheroes do.”
Kimble was touched by the child’s words, and he realized that in his own way, he had become a hero to these kids. He had protected them, taught them, and loved them, and in doing so, he had found a new purpose in life.
As the school year came to a close, Kimble found himself feeling bittersweet. He was going to miss his students and Joyce, but he knew that he had a new path in life. He had decided to take a break from being a cop and continue teaching kindergarten.
On the last day of school, the kids threw Kimble a surprise party. They had made him cards, cookies, and even a cape out of construction paper. As they all hugged goodbye, Kimble realized that he had come full circle. He had started out as an undercover cop, but he had found a new family in his kindergarten class.
As he walked out of the classroom, hand in hand with Joyce, he knew that he had found where he truly belonged. He had become a superhero in the eyes of his students, and that was all that mattered.

GIRL
Mr. Kimble, can we color now?
KIMBLE
(sighing)
Sure, fine. Get out your crayons.
As the kids start to color, Kimble notices a group of boys huddled in the corner.
KIMBLE
(to the boys)
What are you guys up to?
BOY 1
(nervously)
Nothing, Mr. Kimble.
KIMBLE
(crossing his arms)
Come on, I’m not stupid. What have you got there?
The boys reluctantly show him a bag of candy.
KIMBLE
(shaking his head)
Give me that. We don’t eat candy in class.
Just then, the school principal, MISS SHANNON, walks in.
MISS SHANNON
(smiling)
How’s it going, Mr. Kimble?
KIMBLE
(forced smile)
Just fine, Miss Shannon.
MISS SHANNON
(glancing at the candy)
Oh, I see the kids found the stash I keep in my desk for emergencies.
KIMBLE
(surprised)
You keep candy in your desk?
MISS SHANNON
(laughing)
Of course! You never know when you might need a little sugar rush.
KIMBLE
(shaking his head)
I don’t think I’ll ever understand kindergarten.
The kids start to get rowdy again, and Kimble rolls his eyes.
KIMBLE (V.O.)
(to himself)
I’m going to need a drink after this.
FADE OUT.

JOHN KIMBLE (CONT’D)
Okay, I need your help. We’re going to do a little experiment today.
The kids start to quiet down, intrigued.
JOHN KIMBLE (CONT’D)
I want to know what kind of things you all like to do. So, we’re going to go around the room and each of you is going to tell me what your favorite hobby is.
He goes around the room, asking each child in turn.
JOHN KIMBLE (CONT’D)
Okay, now that we know what everyone likes to do, I have a surprise for you all.

Mr. Kimble, can I show you my special toy?
JOHN KIMBLE
Sure thing, Sarah. Let’s go take a look.
The two of them head over to Sarah’s desk, where she pulls out a small toy rabbit.
SARAH
This is Hoppy. He’s my best friend.
