Chapter 17

I grimaced, shuffling in front of the camera and thinking to myself that I was getting pretty good at being hauled into police custody at this point. Mugshots, though, were still kind of new to me. The fact that I was taking one now, being told to turn from side to side with a sign in my hands, let me know that this situation was a little more serious than the other times. Not only was I actually and actively being arrested, but I was away from Bonita Springs, the community who knew and sort of understood my penchant for getting into this kind of zany and quasi-illegal situation. To say this situation was serious was something of a massive understatement.

After being processed, I was thrown into a cell with a couple of people who looked like they had seen better days. Of course, they could have probably said the same thing about me. While I had neither face tattoos nor a piercing in either of my eyebrows (which I couldn’t say for my cellmates), I was dripping wet and probably bruised from tip to toe. I must have been a hell of a sight, because neither of my cellmates, big guys who likely had no reason to be afraid of anyone, came anywhere near talking to me in the hour or so that I waited before hearing my name yelled at me from the other side of the bars.

“Lucky!” An officer with a shaved head and a stern look on his face said, sliding keys into the door. “Come with me.”

“Where are we going?” I asked, standing up and stretching out my sore muscles.

“You’ll find out when you get there,” he said, motioning for me to follow him. Given that my last interaction with this bunch involved a speeding car, property damage, and guns being pointed at my face, I figured it was probably better not to give the guy too much push back on this.

That turned out to be a good decision, because no sooner were we out of earshot of the other prisoners than the officer started talking to me again, his voice a little softer than before.

“You’re Lucky John, right?” he asked, his eyes cutting over to me. “I mean, you don’t look like you did in the newspaper, but that’s the rumor going around. You’re the guy who saved that woman in the truck stop and then won the lottery.”

“I am,” I said. “Does that mean something to you?”

“Means you either used to be a good guy and you’ve fallen into some bad ways or you’re still a good guy and you just have some really bad luck,” he said. “I’m deciding to believe the latter. So, because of that, let me give you some advice. You haven’t asked for a lawyer.”

“I haven’t,” I said. “That’s not really advice, though. It’s more of a statement.”

“Don’t be a smartass,” the officer murmured. “The advice is that you need to get one. I don’t know what kind of storm you’ve found yourself in the middle of, but it’s bad.
