2.34 a.m. Far End of Swan Road
Officer Williams and Deputy Tate received a report of teenagers skinny dipping in Swan Lake. The youths were located at the south end of the lake and ordered to come out and put on their clothing. While writing out tickets for night-swimming, the police car's parking brake failed and the car rolled into the deep end of the lake, sinking to the bottom. Deputy Tate became very distraught, claiming that there was a young rabbit in the backseat of the car; a birthday gift for his daughter. The teenagers offered to dive in and try to retrieve the animal. After a minute one came up with a rusted telescope. Another came up with a tattered wedding dress. The last with a briefcase full of fake Rolex watches. After repeated attempts, none were able to find the rabbit. The police officers eventually told them to stop trying. Considering the unusual nature of the situation, the officers decided not to issue fines to the swimmers and sat around the fire with them instead. It was a beautiful clear night that grew long with discussions about the After-Life, God, and other similar concerns. Often there would be a lull in conversation where the only sounds would be the crackle of the embers and the soft lapping of the water and everyone would be thinking about the same small thing.
