When I got up this morning I couldn’t decide on what I wanted to wear. I knew that it was cold so I put on my only Hollister shirt, a sweater, and hung out before heading to Starbucks. When I got to Starbucks I couldn’t decide what I wanted to drink. I got a Venti Brewed, and decided that for a change I would put some milk in it. Skim. I then started heading to school. I turned on Moberly, and about halfway down a cop pulled out behind me and I knew that I was screwed.

I was pulled over in the driveway of the church near Sonic, on 18th street, you can see the plaza where Kennedy Coffee is across the street. The cop was cool, had a scar above his left eye and spoke like he didn’t know what he was doing.

“Hey man, can I get your license and registration.”

“Yeah dude here…”

“Be right back.”

“Alright.”

I’m calm at this point. I knew that I wasn’t speeding, and there isn’t anything wrong I can see.

He comes back. “I pulled you over because your tail light is out, but you have two outstanding warrants from 2005, I have to take you in.”

I realize my coffee is horrible tasting, it shows on my face. “What? How bad?”

“I’m going to have to take you in.”

“Well, Fuck.”

“Where were you headed?”

“Philosophy.”

“Oh, you might have it with my girlfriend.”

“Krueger?”

“I don’t know”

I step out of the car and he searches me. I know what this is like, and then I get cuffed and stuffed in his squad car. There are no cushions in the back and I keep sliding around. Coheed and Cambria is playing. I’m not taking this seriously for some reason.

Nothing happens really until the officer gets into the car.

“Alright man, I’m going to have to tow your car okay?”

“Well, no, not really okay, but if you have too haha”

He laughs, I roll my eyes, and he starts talking about music.

“Do you like Dragonforce?”

I think about Dragonforce, and I think about this guy being a psycho cop who does it for the thrill. “Yeah, they’re pretty good man, I heard Coheed on here, new album out soon….28th?”

“Heck yeah dude, ever hear the Mars Volta?”

“Yep, more of an At the Drive in fan though myself.”
