As Jon and Ponch are
riding in to Central, Ponch is daydreaming about his new neighbour
that has “sexy feet”. He is almost in an accident
as the back door of the truck in front of him opens and starts
to dump its load on the highway. They have to drive around
a lot boxes but seems to prevent an accident and calls CalTran
to come clean up the highway. .On the way into Central they
see a converted bus that is now a camper and a young couple
appear to be changing one of the tires. They are actually
salvengers. They know they aren't suppose to be on the side
of the road. After Jon and Ponch leave them, they find 2 cases
of the cargo the truck Jon and Ponch had stopped. Since they
are waiting for a court call, they are not going on active
duty for the day so don’t have to attend briefing but
Ponch has fun standing at the window to the door and making
faces and motions to all the officers who are suppose to be
listening to Getraer. Seems as though Ponch is not going to
behave. He flirts with the secretary bring papers to Getraer,
gets Jon to watch soap operas with him and is telling stories
to the secretary pool and keeping them from working. Getraer
has had enough and tells Jon and Ponch to leave but stay where
he can reach them. Ponch says that they will be at his place.
Jon asks why his place and Ponch says he wants to check out
his neighbour more. After Jon and Ponch leave, Getraer gets
a phone call from the manufacturer of the baby food the couple
picked up. The baby food was on its way back to the laboratory
to be checked out as it was believed to have botulism in the
food. None of the officers on duty seem to remember anything
about the baby food and then Getraer remembers the citation
that Jon and Ponch had issued on their way to Central. He
tries to reach them at Ponch’s trailer but the line
is always busy. He finally gets on his motor and heads over
to Ponch’s place and finds that the phone is off the
hook. He orders Jon and Ponch back to the station. Ponch has
come home and gotten into some shorts so he has to go back
in and change clothes. While he is inside, his new neighbour
comes over and introduces herself to Jon and gives him an
iced tea. As Ponch is coming out of his trailer, she is walking
away. Jon and Ponch get back to the station and they start
to check out places these people who took the baby food might
be staying. One area has to searched by motor as there had
been a bad accident and traffic was badly backed up. Jon and
Ponch find the couple and find out that the baby has eaten
some of the contaminated food. He has to be rushed to the
hospital. Ponch takes the lead and Jon carries the infant
to an awaiting ambulance to be rushed to the hospital to have
his stomach pumped. After they arrive at the hospital, they
are on the phone with Getraer telling him that the baby will
be fine and Getraer tells them that the personal phone calls
have to stop. He says he has 3 from Ponch’s new neighbor,
Melinda. Ponch is all smiles until he learns the calls weren't
for him but were for Jon. WROTE BY ZAPIT
