CHAPTER 12 - TOBIAS
Stupid police officers. I got pulled over. Again.
I step out of the car like the officers asked me to and let them pat down my legs and arms. They only manage to find a chocolate bar and my wallet. My cell phone still sits on the dashboard of my car.
"Mr… Eaton?" the officer asks, reading my licence.
I nod hesitantly.
"Yes sir."
"Hmmm. Marcus Eaton's kid?"
I nod slowly.
"So Mr. Eaton. Tell me why you were speeding tonight."
I sigh.
"My mother passed away a few days ago and I was planning on attending her funeral. I am running late, so I had to speed just a little. What guy misses his mother's funeral?"
The police officer gives me a grave look as he gives me back my possessions.
"Sorry to hear that kid. But I still have to give you a ticket."
He pulls out a wad of paper and pen and starts scribbling something down. I sigh with impatience. My black clothes ich against my skin and are hard to stand up in without getting severely scratched. The police officer rips the piece of paper off the wad and hands it to me.
"Stay out of trouble kid. And I'm sorry about your mother by the way."
He gets into his dark car and pulls away.
PLEASE REVIEW!
