I was doing my best to stay in my lane, but I could tell I wasn't doing too well. Started hearing sirens and it brought me to reality. I almost threw up. The blue and red lights started flashing in my rear view and I pulled over looking at Cheryl. I don't remember much.
The cop came to my window.
He shone a flashlight in that was very bright.
He asked me questions.
He asked Cheryl questions.
He opened the door.
He led me out.
He put my hands on the car hood.
He started checking me.
He pulled out the locket from my pocket.
The locket from my pocket? Am I this drunk?
"Where did that-" I slurred.
"Ma'am, where did you find this locket?"
"It was-I didn't put it there." He put it in his shirt pocket and forcefully grabbed my wrists, putting me in the back of his squad car. Right next to Cheryl.
