　　Detective Smith was outside his jurisdiction but he didn't care,he had proper justification in his own mind and he wasn't going to jeopardize the case now.The man he was chasing was not a juvenile or some other criminal's jockey; he was the person responsible for kidnapping Detective Smith's own kin,his own relative.Smith would juggle all the judicial complaints about his methods later.He would also jog his boss's memory that this was personal.So Smith continued jogging towards the road junction where he had last seen the man.

　　As he got there he saw a lot of junk thrown about the street.In the middle, however,he saw something shining.He bent down and picked up a piece of jewelry that he knew was from the kidnapping victim.It wasn't a valuable piece of jewelry.It was one of those pieces made from a kit. Detective Smith remembered the party where he had given his relative the gift along with a jug of her favorite drink.Right after this gift his relative had received a jumbo sized stuffed teddy bear.It was a jolly party and he remembered it fondly.

　　Suddenly Detective Smith jerked forward from sharp pain that jolted him near his kidney.“Not now!”He thought.“Please not now.”Then he fell to the ground.He had forgotten his medication and now his body was finally collapsing from the stress and his poor health.Soon someone would find him and take him to hospital.“No,not now!”was all Detective Smith could think as he knew that he wouldn't be able to continue chasing the kidnapper of his relative.

　　史密斯侦探超越了他的权限，可是他不在乎，在他的心中，他有着合适的正当理由，现在他不会危及这件案子。他追查的这个人不是一个少年或者其他犯罪分子下面的小混混，他绑架了史密斯侦探自己的亲属，他自己的亲戚。史密斯想以后再尽力应付所有的法庭控告。他还要唤起老板的记忆让他知道这是个人的事。所以史密斯继续向道路会合点慢跑过去，因为他看到那个人就是在那里。

　　跑到那里他看到街上到处扔着大堆的破烂。可是他发现中间有个东西在闪光。他弯腰拾起一件珠宝，他知道这是绑架受害者的东西。这件珠宝并没有多大价值。它是一套首饰中的一件。史密斯侦探想起了一次舞会，在那次舞会上他曾经把这个礼物和一大罐她最喜欢喝的饮料送给了这个亲戚。就在接受这个礼物之后他的亲戚收到了一只特大号塞得鼓鼓的玩具熊。那是一次愉快的舞会，他一直珍藏着这次记忆。

　　突然，史密斯侦探猛地向前一冲，肾脏附近的剧痛使得他摇晃起来。“不是现在，”他想，“请别在这个时候。”然后就倒在了地上。他忘了带药，现在他的身体终于被压力和不佳的健康状况拖垮了。过不了多久就会有人发现他并送他去医院。“不，不是现在!”当知道自己无法继续追查绑架他亲戚的罪犯时，史密斯侦探只能想起这句话。
