The Usual Routine
Nicole Davenport was not looking for trouble, but it seemed that trouble found her anyway.
" What did I just do?" Nicole thought.
Nicole knew exactly what she did she shoplifted and now she was running from the cops, the CHP to be exact.
Being on foot didn't get her anywhere and her path was blocked by one of the motorcycle cops.
" Stay put," the officer said taking off his helmet.
" Oh no," Nicole said.
" Not you," the officer said.
" Bruce," Nicole said.
" Nicole what are you doing?" Bruce asked.
" Causing more trouble," Nicole said.
" I guess you'll never learn your lesson," Bruce said, " Are you still trying to get my attention?"
" What if I am?" Nicole said.
" Nicole, that is not the way to do it," Bruce said.
" I know," Nicole said.
" Then why did you do it?" Bruce asked.
" Are you or are you not arresting me?" Nicole asked.
" Your smart," Bruce said, " Figure it out."
" So why don't you handcuff me already," Nicole said.
Bruce just looked at her.
" Can't do it?" Nicole asked, " What's more important me or your career?"
" Stop," Bruce said, " I hardly know you."
" But what you do know?" Nicole asked.
" Turn around," Bruce said.
" You are so hesitant," Nicole said turning around.
" Put your hands on your head," Bruce said.
Nicole did just that, then she realized the next second Bruce turned her back around.
" Now what do you have to say?" Bruce said.
" We gathered a crowd," Nicole said.
" The usual routine usually does," Bruce said taking her to a waiting squad car.
" Hey," Nicole said turning around.
" What?" Bruce said.
" You didn't read me my right," Nicole said.
Bruce walked back up to her, " You already know," Bruce said.
" Bruce Nelson, you are all heart," Nicole said.
" Watch your head," another officer said.
Nicole sat in the squad car and looked at Bruce as it drove away.
" She can be so impossible," Bruce said.
