I had just gotten out of the shower after spending a couple of hours browsing the internet and was just getting ready for bed, when it dawned on me, I hadnât taken out the garbage. âCRAPâ, I thought, so I threw on a old tee-shirt and grabbed my old sweat pants and slipped them on, I had owned them for more years than I could remember, the elastic around the waist was shot and I had to tuck in my shirt just to keep them up, âwell everyone is in bed around here so if they fall down who caresâ I thought to myself.
I headed down the stairs, one handing holding my pants up and headed for the carport. âWhat the hell is in hereâ I asked myself as I tried dragging the garbage can down the drive way. I would pull it with one hand for a couple of feet then have to stop and start again, finally I decided to use both hands, this worked for a good ten feet, until I could feel my britches starting to slide down, so I stopped and pulled them back up and started again. I finally reached the curb, my pants were dangerously close to falling down, but I was done.
I leaned against the can to keep my pants up as I positioned it on the curb, when suddenly I heard tires screeching and headlights shining in my eyes, I jumped back startled!! My sweatpants fell to my kneeâs, I tried pulling them back up as I scrambled towards my house, but I tripped on my sidewalk which had buckled upwards from the tree roots underneath them and I sprawled forward onto my lawn with my pants around my knees and landed on all fours with my big fat behind exposed to the street, the cool breeze reminded me that I wasnât wearing any thing underneath my pants, I rolled over and tried to pull them up but the pant legs had become all scrunched up underneath me, so I had to stand up. As I did I heard his voice.
"Okay, Lady, have we had to much to drink tonight?"
"No officer I was just trying to take out my garbage and well as you can I just fell downâ.
"Isn't it a bit late to be taking out the garbage?â
"Well, yes; but Iâm a night owl and I just remembered it a few minutes agoâ
"Right, look lady I was watching and you were staggering around, fumbling with the can and now you are standing here half naked, and youâre not drunk huhâ
"No. like I said I just forgot and I just grabbed the first thing I could find and as you can see they donât fit anymoreâ
"Your husband inside?â
"No I live alone, do you mind if I pull my pants back up?â
"No, keep your hands where I can see themâ you couldnât wait until morning to take out the garbage?â
"There isn't time. I usually get up after the garbage man gets hereâ, officer this is silly I am pulling my pants up whether you like it or not!â
"Maâam I said keep your hands where I can see them,
"No, I canât believe you are making my stand here like thisâ.
"Under the circumstances, you will just have to wait a bit longer."
"Why?"
"I'm going to handcuff you nowâ.
"Handcuffs? Am I under arrest?"
"Not yet. And you wonât be if you follow my instructions without questions or attempt to hide anythingâ
"What, hide what! Why are you doing this?â
"For one thing, standing on the shoulder of a street naked, and being possibly under the effect of alcohol and or drugs."
"I wouldn't be standing here naked if you would let me pull my pants upâ.
"Look, lady. We can do this the hard way, or the easy way. Your choice, hands behind your back!.
"Fuck I canât believe thisâ
âokay that didnât hurt did it, now just stay calm while I call for back upâ.
âback up, what is wrong with you, I am going to sue you for every penny you have and the city to!.
âlook lady, just keep your mouth shut and maybe I wonât arrest youâ.
"What do we have hereâ Sam.
âJust some drunken flasherâ Bob.
âFlasher, officer I have explained everything to this moron, but he doesnât want to listen and he wouldnât even let me pull my pants upâ.
"Sam, is this true."
"Not until I got back up, going according to the book."
"Okay but lets get her pants up now, before we cause a accidentâ.
âfinallyâ
âSam feel this, her buttocks are ice cold, it feels like she has been outside running around naked for hoursâ.
âyouâre right, and look at thisâ.
âWhat? Let me see your flashlightâ. You see that, right up there between her legs, what does that look like to you?.
âWhat the fuck are you two doing down thereâ.
âWhere? Oh I see it, let me move this hair a bit, it looks like powder of some sort, you know what we have her donât you?.
âA muleâ
âRightâ
âMule, what are you talking about, I canât believe you are doing thisâ.
âgrab her other arm and lets pull her inside so we can do a more thorough searchâ.
"Are you cold maâamâ.
"Oh, no." making me stand outside with my pants around my ankles, no Iâm not coldâ.
"you seem to be shivering."
"You both are scaring the crap out of me!." "Why did you bring me in here?"
"If you really arenât drunk or hauling drugs for the Colombians, you must know about informants. There lives arenât worth piss if they are seen talking to the police police.â
"Oh! I see Iâm not a suspect, just a new informant."
"Listen maâam, Iâm just doing my job, I donât think your telling me the truth, and I thought coming into your house might make you feel more comfortable.â
"There isnât anything to tell, I was outside taking out the garbage."
"Well I think there is more to it than that."
âlike whatâ
âOkay, what is that white powder between your legs and why was your ass so cold, if as you say you were only taking out the garbage?.
âI have know idea about any white powder as for my ass, just fuck off, you know why my ass was cold!.
"I could arrest you for obstruction of justice, if you donât talk.â
