First chapter -thoughts?!

Meet Doggett

Not much could be said to Doggett anymore, ever since he had stepped down from the Guildford Constabulary. He was, he supposed, a finished man, yesterday’s hero, someone who had had his moment. Luckier then most he was prepared to admit but still somehow with the lurching sense of disappointment in his stomach that he tried to ignore day on day. Retirement was tedious but he had to admit he was lucky to still be around no matter how sedate life was in the suburbs or how he missed the people he had counted as colleagues up until not so long ago. How could life change so quickly so fast - as someone who had dealt with the improbable for his whole career he was at a loss to get a sense of perspective on what had happened to him as he supposed it happened to many who find their sense of purpose in what they do rather than who they are. It was a risk to be run by all those who chase a pay check. What do you do on the day the world has officially decided that there is someone smarter, faster and yes, younger than you are?
