Shadowlands

You pull into a driveway and cut the lights. You duck down in your seat.

It's too late. The police car definitely spotted you. The lights pull up behind you. You slump your shoulders.

"License and registration"

You slowly reach for your license and registration.

"You do know there's a curfew right now. I'm afraid I'm going to have to take you in. Please step out of the vehicle slowly, hands behind your head."

You slowly exit the vehicle, carefully placing your hands behind your head. Why did you ignore the ban? Who's going to bail you out? You're sure to catch it from your boss if you don't show up at work tomorrow.

Gulp. Work. They have a policy about firing people who get arrested. You are lowered slowly into the squad car. As you drive to Central Booking, you ask yourself, "Was it worth it?"
