You explain to the cop that you were running late for work and this was your last chance - if the boss catches you then you are fired. The cop's husband was recently fired and is having a hard time finding a job. With two kids at home this is putting quite the stress on her life. She completely understands where you are coming from and gives you a quick verbal warning and then lets you go.

You thank her profusely. Then you quickly pull into the parking ramp and park. You look back and see that your boss is just about to pull into the ramp. You run into the building and into your office. You throw your jacket off and sit at your desk pretending to work. Seconds later your boss peeks her head into your office to say good morning.

You still have your job and make a mental note to buy a new alarm clock on your way home from work.
