Travis: what's up brother?
Ricardo: not much, same old, same old
Travis: good, good - i've got some news
Ricardo: tell me
Travis: i have joined the police academy, i want to be a road cop
Ricardo: what? Really? What happened to your gym?
Travis: I shut it down
Ricardo: no way, why?
Travis: I hated it mate, waking up at 5 am, keeping an eye on everything, lots of responsibility...
Ricardo: but it was good money, wasn't it?
Travis: well not anymore, there is a lot of competition and rent fee's etc. were killing me
Ricardo: i see
Travis: yeah, it was worse than it seemed on the outside probably
Ricardo: but a cop? In Brazil? This is dangerous...
Travis: not that much, you know i want to be a road cop, not an anti-terrorist or drug police
Ricardo: you never know who you may come across
Travis: you are right but i want it anyway
Ricardo: why this? what are your reasons?
Travis: status and money i guess
Ricardo: money? I thought cops don't earn that much
Travis: well if you are a road cop you can earn quite well and it's not that hard
Ricardo: so you will have any exams for this?
Travis: yea, knowledge tests, physical exams, so psychology test
Ricardo: physical will be the easiest for you, right? :D
Travis: ye, i am still in shape, gym everyday etc.
Ricardo: i thought you gave up completely
Travis: just with my own gym, i am still doing some personal training for my clients though
Ricardo: i see, good for you - seems like you got this worked out
Travis hated owning a gym, it was a big responsibility. He will be a road cop, and he will still do some personal training for his clients.
