Scan. Scan. Scan. What the fuck. There's nothing on the radio.
Scan. Scan. Scan. Gah, I can't reach my cd case.
Fuuuck, who the hell is coming up on my ass so quickly.
Wait, those headlights look like...
Fuck, how fast am I...
Fuck.
"Hello officer."
"Good evening miss. Do you realize how fast you were going? Are you in some kind of a hurry?"
"No...I...I...I'm just trying to get home."
"And where's home?"
"S...Santa Cruz. I...moved down...there...a few years ago...for school."
"And where are you coming from?"
"I...I...went home to Sacramento to visit my family and transfer this car's title into my name and now I'm driving home because I have work in the morning at Limited Too and...and...in the mall...and...
"That's quite a drive to be taking so late. Well, license and registration please."
Shuffle. Shuffle. Shuffle.
"And your license?"
"It's actually lost right now. I...have...my...passport with me."
"Ok. Let me go call this in. Sit tight."
Fuck. If only I were able to get that duplicate at the DMV today. Fucking outstanding tickets. Fuck. I really can't afford another one. What if there's a warrant out? Fuuuuck. What if I get arrested right now? I don't want my first night away from Curtis to be in jail. Who will open the store? Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
"Ok, well, I'm not going to give you a ticket tonight. Just slow down and be careful out there. You still have 17 to deal with."
"O...k...s...ir."
"Are you going to be ok to drive? Take a deep breath for me."
Inhale.
Exhale.
"So what are you studying in Santa Cruz?"
"I'm just...fin...ishing...up. I'm an...art...history...major."
"Oh, how interesting. What do you plan on doing with that?"
Inhale.
Exhale.
"I...uh...want to go to art school in the city. Eventually. I...don't...want to teach."
"San Francisco?"
"Yes...sir."
"Well, that sounds like a lot of fun. I remember college. And in Santa Cruz? I bet you've been having the time of your life."
"Mhmm."
"Ok, well pull out here...make a u-turn right up there. You'll see signs for the freeway at the first light after you've turned around."
"Thank you."
"Take care now. Drive safe."
