Chapter Twenty-Nine

It was a painful ride for Cassandra, as the young cop grabbed her by one ankle and pulled her at a steady rate, bouncing her butt from one step to the next with no regard for what it did to her. By the time she got to the bottom her tailbone was bruised and battered.

At the bottom of the stairs, another police officer joined the first and they picked Cassandra up and carried her to a makeshift bullpen they had built just for the occasion. There was no paddy wagon or prison bus in sight, so Cassandra correctly guessed that they were not going to jail.

There were several officers at the exit of the bullpen who were writing citations, then letting them out into the pre-dawn morning. The only way out was to provide a driver’s license or other proof of identification.

Several people in front of them didn’t have any identification. They were separated, put into police cars, and taken to the station.

Cassandra, Billie, and Curlee all had their ID on them, and so were cited with trespassing and illegal assembly and required to either pay a $72.00 fine, or appear in District Court in January.

“Another successful day,” Billie said.

“She’s weird that way,” Curlee said. “A day without being arrested is a day we didn’t accomplish anything. Hey, I think we’re gonna head to Denny’s for a cuppa. Wanna come with?”

Cassandra shook her head. “I’m totally beat. Next time we do this, remind me to wear something with some padding on the bottom, will you?”

Billie and Curlee began to drift away when Cassandra realized she had no way to find them again.

“Wait!” she said, running after them. She pulled a pen and piece of paper out of her pocket and scribbled her name and the number at the house on it. “I don’t want to lose touch with you guys.”

Especially you, Curlee, just in case you turn out to not be Billie’s boyfriend.

“Not to worry,” Curlee said with a smile that showed even white teeth and dimples. “Once you meet us, we have a habit of showing back up.” He took the paper, winked at Cassandra, and walked away.

Cassandra turned toward home. More than anything, she wanted to sit under one of the elm trees that lined the sidewalk, lean her head back and go to sleep.

Probably get another citation for loitering, if I do that. I think I’m at my limit for one day.

She pressed on through the half-mile walk home as the sun rose in the east. She unlocked the door and opened it quietly.

All four of her roommates were sitting around the kitchen table, drinking coffee and staring at her.

Her entrance caused a stir of questions and comments. “Where have you been?” And, “We thought we were going to have to come bail you out.” And, “We were taking up a collection to spring you.” And, finally, “Are you all right?”

Cassandra had expected to slip unseen into the house, so she was taken aback. After the incredible events of the previous twelve hours, it was too much for her.
