When I came out of the ladies’ room, the whole parking lot was teeming with cops. We pulled into a truck stop and Dave was filling the tank. The police have arrested Dave and seized everything in the car, she whispered when Blake said hello. She finished the cookie and lit a cigarette as she waited for him to answer. She went to the side of the building where she would be shielded behind the parked cars and pressed Blake’s number. She walked outside, still chewing the cookie, as she pulled her cellphone from her pocket.
I’d love to see what happens but I have to get going, she mumbled as she watched the police handcuff Dave. The trunk and back doors of the car were wide open as other police were investigating and inspecting what was in there. Cam didn’t hear what he was asking but saw Dave shaking his head repeatedly.
One of the officers, dressed in a black jumpsuit with DEA written across the back in Day-Glo yellow, was asking him questions. Dave had his feet spread apart and was leaning forward, his hands on the hood of the car. Really? Cam asked as she, too, watched the action in the parking lot. Nah… the clerk said, still watching outside, as he took her card and tossed it in the trash, I thought it was all bogus until some women won $14,000 a few weeks ago. He was annoyed that she was disturbing him.Ĭam took a coin that she’d just received as change and scratched off the lottery spots. The clerk turned back and tore a ticket from the roll and set it in front of her. It would buy her some time as she watched her traveling companion being frisked and questioned. Let me have one of those lottery scratch-offs, too, she said as she put another dollar on the counter. He couldn’t take his eyes off what was happening out there.ĭamn! she mumbled as she took a bite of her cookie. Looks like a drug bust of some kind, he answered. The flashing lights of the patrol cars were almost blinding. What’s happening out there? she asked as he turned back to watch the police action. He paid attention long enough to take her ten and give her change. He grabbed the cigarettes and the cookie and placed them on the counter in front of her. I’m sorry.Ĭan I have a pack of Marlboro Light 100s and one of those big chocolate chip cookies? she asked. Yuh? He sort of turned to her but didn’t take his eyes off the outside. She had a hard time getting his attention. The young man working there was intent on watching what was outside.Įxcuse me…excuse me. The entire parking lot was filled with police cars, their lights flashing. The people in the store were all watching what was happening in the parking lot.
Ten minutes later, Cam walked out of the ladies’ room and stopped at the front counter. I’ll be right back, Cam called back as she rushed into the main building of the truck stop. I’ll get the tank filled while you’re in there, Dave said to her as they both got out of the car. She looked at her watch and reached back for her shoulder bag. I gotta run into the ladies’ room before I explode, she told the guy riding in the passenger seat. Can he and Mars survive the jobs they're sent on?
