Chapter 11

“Hey!” The officer shouted at them again and advanced a few steps. “Did you hear what I said? I need to see the admission papers from you two!”

Linda was about to step forward and reply, but Frank took her by the arm and held her back. “Let me try.” He whispered in her ear and immediately stepped in front of her, giving the police officer a big smile.

“Hello there, officer! I’m sorry but we’re just out for a walk.” Frank looked back at Linda and gave her a quizzical look. “Did you remember to bring our papers?”

Linda patted her pockets and jacket and shrugged. “Ugh, I think I forgot.”

Frank turned back and gave an exaggerated shrug of his own. “I’m sorry, officer. We’d be happy to take you back and get them.”

The police officer’s eyes narrowed. “Travel anywhere outside of your domicile without your admission paperwork is strictly forbidden. When did you arrive here?”

Linda was about to reply when Frank cut her off. “Arrive? We’ve lived here for about five years now.” The officer’s gaze shifted between Frank and Linda and his right hand relaxed slightly as he kept it resting on his holster.

“What’re your names?”

“I’m Frank, this is Linda.” Frank took a half-step to the right and turned to gesture to Linda. He noticed that her right hand was still behind her back and quickly stepped back in front of her.

“Where’s your place?”

Frank turned and pointed back the way he and Linda had come from. “Lawton street, last house on the left.” The officer looked down the road and rubbed his hand across his nose, considering what Frank was saying. Frank could see the man wavering as he tried to decide what to do and decided to press the issue slightly further.

“We’ve been so cooped up in the house that we just plain forgot about the papers. I’m really sorry, and like I said we’d be happy to take you back there to get them and show you.”

The police officer looked at Frank and Linda and sighed as he shook his head and took his right hand off of his holster. “No, don’t bother. But you two need to get back right now and make sure you never leave without them. If those military assholes stop you then you’ll be looking at the inside of a cell until they strip search you and stick needles in your arms enough times to be satisfied you’re not carrying a virus.”

Frank smiled again and stuck out his hand. “Thank you so much, officer. I really appreciate it.”

The police officer took Frank’s hand and shook it, then touched the brim of his hat as he looked at Linda. “Ma’am. You two have a nice day.”

The officer took a few steps back before turning around and heading back to his car, glancing around as he did. Frank kept still with a smile on his face until the car had started and was out of sight, then turned to see Linda still had her hand behind her back.
