Standing in line inside a school or public facility. What
are we waiting for? In conversation with friends cracking jokes, something
to do with the Italian language. Kevin leans over to a dark skinned man behind
us and asks, “Don’t you speak Italian?” and then immediately turns away as if
he just realized he said something stupid. Kevin lowers his head and grins. We
all laugh. The Italian man doesn’t seem amused and approaches us. It’s
understood that he’s a police officer. He pulls out a strange device understood
to be a breathalyzer and demands Kevin breathe into it. Then he shoves it into
my face. I blow into it and the thing starts beeping along with a blinking red
LED light.
He questions me, “Were you drinking tonight?”
I stay honest. “Yes I had one beer earlier.”
I was hoping he’d be lenient on me since I wasn’t loud and
obnoxious. But he pulls me outside and questions me some more.
Me: “I don’t normally drink, officer. And I never get
drunk.”
Something happened to my car. I notice somebody stripped my
hood and roof replacing it with another hood and roof of a different shade of
purple.
Me: “Whoa! Why would somebody do that? Why would somebody go
through all the effort of that?”
The officer seems confused as I am. He inspects the car as
if he’s looking for something awry. Across the parking lot I spot another
vehicle with my hood and roof. “There it is!” I run over to make sure
it’s true. I don’t know whose car it is or anything. I mean what can I do at
this point?
