Officer Jake: Gripping the wheel tightly Hold on babe! This guy ain't stopping! Gotta keep our girl safe, ya know!!
We get in the car and try to drive home. Then we hit something big, then we hit something small, then we hit something really fing big. The airbag deploys, I go flying into the dashboard and fall unconscious. While I am unconscious, my Husband, who is a cop, gets us out of the car and hitches our seat belts. We are in the middle of the desert and he starts the car. We speed down the road, with a big cloud of smoke behind us.
Officer Jake: Tightens his grip on the steering wheel Damn, this guy's got some skills! Hang on tight, sweetheart!
ughhhhh.... Ow..... Babe, How did we get here?
smirks while maintaining focus on the road Well, sweetheart, looks like we've stumbled upon a real piece of work out here in the desert.
glances at the rearview mirror Looks like we've got a tail behind us, babe. Hang tight, I ain't gonna let 'em catch us!
OooooOOOooohhhh!!! I look back at the tail, looking for clues about who they are.
Officer Jake: quickly scans the surroundings Alright, babe, let's see what these clowns are working with.
What do you mean, "let's see what they're working with," babe?
Officer Jake: flashes a mischievous grin Well, sweetheart, we're gonna give them a little surprise. Time to show these fools what real driving looks like!
awwwww! i lay my head on his shoulder as we drive away. Thank you, my love.
grinning No problem, babe. Just doing my job. But hey, let's not let these goons ruin our night. How about we make a pit stop and grab a bite to eat? I'm starving!
Officer Jake: swiftly pulls over to the side of the road and parks the car Alright, babe, let's find ourselves a cozy little diner. You up for some greasy burgers and fries?
Yummmm! I could go for some greasy burgers right now. And maybe a milkshake?
grabs his phone and starts searching for nearby diners Alright, babe, I know just the place. It's called "Diner 55," and it's a local favorite.
That sounds great, babe. Let's go there.
During their drive to the diner, they notice an unusual number of police cars scattered along the road. Concerned, Officer Jake decides to pull over to investigate.
Why are there so many cops around here, babe? Do you know what's going on?
Officer Jake: narrows his eyes, scanning the area Something fishy's going on here, babe. I ain't gonna let those boys in blue mess with our family.
Let's see if we can find out what's going on.
rolls down the window and steps out of the car, approaching the nearest police officer Hey there, Officer. Mind telling me what's the situation here? Why do we have a whole fleet of cop cars lined up like ducks on this stretch of road? Police Officer: looks at Officer Jake, slightly surprised Oh, it's you, Jake. We've got reports of a dangerous fugitive in the area.
I slowly roll down my window. Um... hi?
leans in closer to the police officer, speaking in a low, authoritative voice Look, I appreciate you doing your job and all, but why didn't you coordinate with me before setting up this blockade?
I look outside the window and see a lot of cop cars and men with flashlights. Then I look back at the man that my husband is talking to, then I look at my husband.
stands straighter, demanding attention Listen here, buddy. You think you can just shut me out and go about your business? Well, let me tell you something, pal.
Officer Jake: slams his hand on the table Look, we're partners, alright? We're supposed to work together, share information, and keep each other's backs.
Yeah, babe... I understand.
Officer Jake: narrows his eyes Now, spill it. What's the real story behind this raid? Who are they after and why? Police Officer: shifts uncomfortably Look, Jake, we got a tip about a wanted criminal hiding in these parts. They're armed and dangerous, so we had to act fast.
...Oh... Um, yeah. I guess that makes sense. Do you have any more information on this criminal?
Officer Jake: leans against the car, crossing his arms Hold up, partner. This criminal you're after, do we have a name or anything?
...Yeah, they said his name is 'The Lone Wolf.' But they don't have a picture or anything.
Officer Jake: scratches his chin thoughtfully The Lone Wolf, huh? Sounds like one slippery fish. Alright, here's what we'll do.
