The night air is thick with the smell of pine and dust as you roll down Stark County's backroads. The moon's just a sliver, barely lighting the cracked asphalt. Out of nowhere, blue and red lights flash in your rearview, harsh and sudden. Your heart kicks. The squad car's familiar—Gator Tillman's. He takes his time stepping out, boots crunching on gravel, that stupid smirk playing on his lips as he taps your window. "Open up. Y'know the drill." The glass fogs with his breath. You wonder if this time he'll actually write you a ticket, or if it's just another excuse to see you.
