The shrill report of Rhonda Stone's B-movie screams reverberating painfully in his ears, Pete's heart, the same one that had already been pumping at max volume for the past few minutes, nearly exploded when he looked over and saw a dark figure standing outside the passenger side door.
Forgetting his exposed cock was still flopping outside his unzipped fly, Pete raised his right hand to reach for the keys in the ignition to start the car, but froze when he saw the figure reach for the gun on his hip.
"..Uh....Uh..I think its Deputy Wurley," Rhonda put her hand to her chest and mumbled once she recognized the uniformed man hovering to her left.
Before he could reach over to stop her, Pete cringed when Rhonda opened the door far enough to allow the waiting lawman to poke his head inside the car.
"What do we have here?" the 30 year old officer sized up the occupants of the Impala, then cast a hearty spit of his smokeless tobacco to the ground.
What he'd exactly 'stumbled upon' didn't take Deputy Wurley long to piece together. Having called Pete Finnegan's tag in right after pulling out from his concealed spot at the speed trap, he knew who was driving the car. The discovery of one of McCracken County's most infamous skanks with him proved to be a revelation, however.
Seeing the young lawyer's cum-drenched cock still dangling in plain sight, Wayne Wurley struggled to keep from laughing at the absurdity of the image as he knelt down beside Rhonda.
Allowing the awkward weight of silence to press down on the pair, the clearly amused lawman didn't speak again until he saw Pete try to subtlety reach down to stuff his prick back inside his pants.
"Keep your hands right where I can see them, Lawyer-Boy," he said with dry and sober clarity.
Having seen this movie more times than she cared to count over the years, Rhonda didn't have to tell Pete to listen to the deputy, her eyes did it for her. Knowing how all this was likely to end, Rhonda began preparing herself before the first declaration of defiance left Pete's lips.
"What are you charging us with, Officer?" Pete tried to inquire with as much gravitas as a man could with his spent cock visible for the world to see.
"First of all I clocked you going over 50 back at the Mill Road intersection..then I got you for evading me for several miles," Wurley looked the young man in the eye and recited.
"Evading..you didn't even have your siren..." Pete started before the cop continued on as if Pete's lips were sealed shut.
"Now I've got you trespassing on private property and if I really want to get down to brass tacks...indecency in public."
Satisfied by the preppy New Englander's stunned and speechless expression, Wurley added one more surgical strike.
"Probably wouldn't be good for it to get out either that you were fooling around with one of the clients you all have down at the Public Defender's office!"
It started to dawn on Pete this wasn't about him running the speed trap a few miles back. Feeling his cell phone in his left pant's pocket, for a brief moment he thought about trying to make a call, but to who.
"Call 9-1-1, Dummy..and who are they gonna send out..the cops?" he quickly chided himself as a cold wave of dread swirled through his intestines.
A large portion of Pete's ability as a litigator hinged on his adeptness to reason in difficult circumstances, but taking one good look into Wayne Wurley's eyes, Pete didn't think logic would be a common language the two could share.
"So...you gonna write me a ticket ...or take us in?" Pete surprised himself by how forceful his sarcastic question came out.
"To be honest..all this piddly stuff aint worth my time," the cop rubbed his hand across his two day growth of beard and bellowed out a deep breath.
For just a second Pete knew how a fish felt just before it was about to wiggle its cheek off a fisherman's hook. Unfortunately in this case, the angler was just teasing his fresh catch.
"You seem like a pretty straight arrow ..hate to see anything smudge your record running with people like this...I'd be inclined to let you go but its my sworn duty to uphold the laws of this county. Considering this woman's history, I'm gonna have to make sure she's not concealing any contraband," Officer Wurley looked directly at Pete and taunted.
"Probably ought to give the car a once over too to make sure she didn't dump anything," he added, clicking open the glove compartment with one hand as he reached a flashlight in with the other.
"I just picked her up from the jail," Pete's agitation grew. "I'm just driving her home because she needed a ride."
Wurley continued to thumb through the contents of the storage space without so much as acknowledging Pete's explanation.
"You wont find anything," he wanted to mumble over to the cop, but decided to save his breath.
Well after 10pm now, having worked a full 12 hour day then going through what he had with Jenny back at his office, any mortal man would have been ready to call it a day. Now having gone from having an orgasm in his driver's seat to being a prisoner in his own car in the matter of seconds left Pete feeling as if he'd been pureed in a blender.
"Unroll your pockets, Mr. Finnegan," the cop pointed the flashlight directly at him and said when he finished flipping through the glove compartment.
Sensing the opportunity to wedge his cock back inside his pants, before he could even try, Officer Wurley stopped him and said, "Your pockets!"
Some loose change, his wallet and cell phone came tumbling out, the latter Wurley took and tossed up on the dash, as if to say, 'you won't be needing that for awhile'.
"The only thing left to check is you, Ms. Stone," the deputy looked directly into the slightly older woman's face and said, the entire time keeping the flashlight pointed at Pete.
"He doesn't have a warrant..he doesn't have any probable cause Rhonda..you don't have to do anything," Pete raised his right hand with real verve, but even the Gettysburg Address would have come across as hallow if Lincoln's fly had been down.
"Probable cause..I'm sure you've read Ms. Stone's record, Mr. Finnegan," Wurley chuckled coldly. "Considering you two are parked on some abandoned land where there have been a few meth labs operating that last few years..I'm just doing my due diligence."
Slinking back in his seat, Pete grinded his teeth together as Wurley stepped back and motioned Rhonda up and out of the car. Within a few seconds he could look out the windshield and see his client's hands come to rest on the right side of the hood as she positioned herself to be frisked.
"Keep your hands where I can see them, Mr. Finnegan...put them both up on top of the steering wheel. I'd hate to have to handcuff you..this is only going to take a minute," the cop ordered, a toxic grin bursting across his heartlessly engaged face when he saw the way Pete slowly, but inevitably, complied.
"Why don't you flip on the interior light while you're at it," he added.
Illuminated inside the car, surrounded by nothing by pitch black Kentucky wilderness, Pete felt strangely like a small child who'd been punished by the teacher in front of the entire class as he rested his hands in plain sight on the steering wheel.
His cell phone resting two feet away, Pete once again thought about dialing someone for help, but with the cop outside alone with Rhonda, he didn't think it prudent to agitate an already tedious situation.
Without so much as a kind word or warning to Rhonda, Pete could hear the rough sounds of Wayne Wurley's frisking gropes echoing through the open passenger door. Looking through the right side of the windshield, he could see the cop's hands pawing at Rhonda's chest before briskly working them down her belly, around her hips and thighs, then back up to her breasts for a second go around.
From his vantage point in the seat, Pete couldn't see Rhonda's face unless he leaned forward a foot or so. Her hands outstretched against the hood as she allowed Deputy Wurley to do his job, Pete decided to keep his back flush with the seat, knowing if he saw her expression, it would have only driven home his helplessness that much further.
As if patting Rhonda down wasn't enough to determine she wasn't concealing any contraband, the cop took two handfuls of her shirt and pushed it all the way up to her armpits as he bent her over the fender.
"She's not even wearing a bra, and he still felt the need to do that," Pete rolled his tongue around his mouth as Rhonda's milky white tits flopped free.
Not even allowing the woman the dignity of pulling her shirt back down, Pete watched as Officer Wurley's hands drifted to her waist and closed around the snap of her jeans.
