CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

Ace

It’s a slow night in Laurel Springs – my kind of night to be honest. When there aren’t people acting insane and hell bent on breaking the law. I’m an hour away from going off shift and ready to Netflix and spend some time with Violet. We’ve been good since our interlude on the couch, but I’m unsure how much longer I’ll be able to keep my hands off of her. She’s an itch I can’t scratch, a temptation I can’t give into.

Sitting on the side of the highway, I’m randomly clocking speed while finishing up some of the reports I have lingering from earlier in the night. A few cars have gone by about five over the speed limit, and I’ve let them go because it’s only going to cause me more paperwork. There’s something else I want to see tonight rather than a stack of reports. I’m finishing up the last paper to work on when a car goes screaming by me. I glance at the mounted radar, whistling when I see they were easily twenty-five over.

Punching my radio, I call in my position and give the specifics on the car. I can’t read the license plate since they got so far in front of me. Gradually, as they slow in the curvy section of road, I tuck in behind them. For a moment I think they’re going to take off in the straight-stretch, but instead they pull over. Now that I can see their license plate number, I call it in and exit the vehicle. Approaching, I can see there are four people in the car, and instinctively I call for backup, requesting Renegade and Tank who I know are riding together tonight. Touching the driver’s side corner of the trunk, I observe what’s going on inside before addressing the driver.

“Is there a problem, Officer?” the teenager asks as I approach the driver’s side door. His voice even cracks as I get closer, but I know not to let his age dismiss him. Someone who was driving a car that fast and gives me this sort of feeling? He’s got something in there.

“Yeah, you were going eighty in a fifty-five. That’s a problem. Let me see your license and registration.”

The tension in the car is thick, I can feel it prickling the back of my neck as I watch him reach over to get it. The driver has sweat pouring off his face, down his neck, collecting at the collar of his shirt. When I hear sirens and see blue lights approaching from the opposite direction, I breathe a little easier. Renegade and Tank exit their squad car and hurry to assist me.

“Got four in the car, I can smell marijuana and alcohol,” I mumble toward them.

They take points around the vehicle, shining their flashlights in. The darkness makes everything a little bit more dangerous. “Everybody get out of the car, I need to see some identification.”

The driver finally hands over his info, and I see that he’s seventeen years old.
