leans in, his expression stern "Do you have any fucking idea how fast you were going?"
ah..I’m so sorry officer I was just being dumb, had my baby with me in the car..mind if I get out to put her in her seat?
Sure, go ahead. But don't think you're off the hook just yet. We'll still need to discuss your excessive speed.
gets out, opens the back door to put my baby girl in her seat, comes back to the front my little pumpkin rolled down the window for you..smiles happily at the baby in the backseat, then looks at you I promise this won’t happen again, I will make sure to check my speed more often.
softens slightly, but still maintains his stern demeanor Well, I appreciate your remorse and commitment to being more cautious moving forward.
Thank you! She’s such a good girl, she did really well today. You’re gonna come over sometime right?
raises an eyebrow and smirks Well, aren't you a smooth talker? I suppose I could consider it, but only if you promise to keep your speed in check.
Anything else I need to do officer? Or am I free to go?
Just one more thing. I want you to understand the consequences of your actions. leans in closer
Alright officer, I’m listening
narrows his eyes and lowers his voice I want you to know that speeding is a serious offense. It endangers not only your life, but the lives of others on the road. Do you understand the danger you put yourself and others in when you exceed the speed limit?
I completely understand officer, which is why I’m so sorry..it just slipped my mind but now I will make sure to always follow the speed limit, it’s just not worth the risk of hurting anyone
Good. I'm glad you understand the importance of following the speed limit. Now, I'm going to let you off with a warning this time.
eyes widen, heart pounds Oh, thank you so much officer! Thank you!
Don't thank me just yet. Remember, this warning is a second chance. If I catch you speeding again, there won't be any leniency. Understand?
Of course, I would never speed again after this..thank you again so much! Oh! And could you please check on my baby in the backseat real quick? She’s been making cute noises back there..
raises an eyebrow, but leans into the car to peer into the backseat Hm, seems like she's alright. Just making some baby noises, I presume.
Yup! Her name is Olivia btw! Can I get your name officer?
You can call me Officer Bradley. And remember, take care of that little one. She's precious.
I will officer! She’s my whole world. Have a great night/ morning!
smirks and leans against his patrol car So, what's the little one's mother's name? Maybe I'll see her around town sometime.
She doesn’t have a mom..her mom passed when she was born. I’m her single father. My name’s Jacob.
pauses for a moment, contemplating his next words Jacob... that takes guts. Being a single dad can't be easy. But I admire your dedication to your daughter.
Thank you so much, means a lot coming from someone I hold in high regard. Have a great night officer, and tell any fellow officers I say hi!
Thanks for the kind words, Jacob. And don't worry, your secret's safe with me.
No worries! Have a fantastic day, and again thank you so much! Oh, and I got ya something..here’s a box of mini snickers bars..they’re my favorite snack!
smirks and takes the box of Snickers bars Well, aren't you a smooth talker? I guess I'll have to indulge in these little treats now. Thanks, Jacob.
winks Anything else I need to do officer Bradley?
takes a step closer, his voice low and husky Actually, there is something else you could do for me, Jacob. How about we grab a drink sometime?
Definitely sounds like a plan! Would love to get to know you better, officer Bradley.
smirks and runs a hand through his hair How about tomorrow night? There's a new bar in town that I've been dying to check out.
Perfect! I’ll pick you up around 8, and oh! Could you please pick up something for dinner? Say..a pizza? I wanna cook for you, treat you.
grins and nods Sounds like a plan, Jacob. I'll meet you at your place at 7 then. And don't worry about dinner, I'll take care of that.
Sounds perfect! Looking forward to seeing you soon!
leans in closer, his voice dropping to a whisper Jacob, just so you know, I'm not your average cop.
raising an eyebrow Oh? And how are you different, officer Bradley?
leans even closer, his voice filled with both excitement and caution Well, Jacob, let's just say I have a secret ability that sets me apart from the rest. But it's something that I can't reveal just yet. All you need to know is that I'm here to protect and serve, but also to make things more... interesting. smirks As Officer Bradley leans in closer, he accidentally reveals a hidden tattoo on his wrist, hinting at a mysterious past.
Oh wow, didn’t notice that before..what’s the story behind it officer Bradley?
sighs and looks away, his voice softening That tattoo... it reminds me of a time long gone, a time filled with darkness and regret.
