"Where are you two headed?" the police officer growled, his dark eyes glaring at the young woman sitting nervously behind the wheel.
"Florida she said," her voice shaking with a combination of anger and fear. Anger, because she hadn't done anything wrong, and she hated cops who threw their power around. Fear, because there was something very unsettling about the way he was looking at her. "Look, I wasn't speeding or anything, so-"
The cop shone his bright flashlight into the girl's pale face, blinding her momentarily, stunning her mid-sentence. In the passenger seat, the glow of the flashlight illuminated the figure of a young woman, her tan arms crossed in front of her, a river of thick Spanish hair flowing across her shoulders. The passenger said nothing, choosing instead to stare silently out the windshield, down the darkened highway, while the officer continued speaking to her friend.
"I stopped you on suspicion of intoxication," he said coldly. "You were weaving all over the road."
"That's bullshit!" she exclaimed, and immediately the light was back in her eyes.
"You watch your fucking mouth," he growled at her. "You speak to me politely, or else I'll have to teach you some respect."
The driver's heart sunk at these words, and she felt her pulse begin to race with anxiety. Her pale hands gripped the steering wheel so tight that her arms began to shake, and she almost dropped her license when she handed it over. Something was really, really wrong with this cop; she could feel it.
"Leah Goldstein," the officer growled from behind his mustache. "Jewish?"
"Does it matter?" she squeaked, barely able to keep her nervous voice steady.
The officer smirked gruffly, looking her up and down, the flashlight tracing up her soft pale thighs, past her midriff, and settling on her large, firm breasts.
"Nope," he replied, chuckling as she adjusted her shirt, glaring at him angrily. "Sit. I'll be back in a few minutes."
The driver watched the creepy officer in the mirror as he walked back toward his police cruiser, the bright blue and red lights cutting through the darkness on the lonely stretch of highway. Her heart was still racing, and a feeling of dread fell upon her.
"Something's wrong," she whispered to the passenger, as if the cold-eyed police officer could still hear them. "We need to get the fuck out of here."
"Relax," said the passenger, the glow of her phone screen illuminating her slender face. "Everything's going to be fine."
"This feels wrong," replied the driver, shaking her head as she stared into the rear-view mirror at the police cruiser behind them, then turned towards her friend. "What the fuck are you doing, anyway?"
"Texting someone," the passenger answered, a vague hint of excitement in her voice.
"Who?" the white girl asked.
"Nobody," the Spanish girl replied. "Just a friend."
A second set of police lights appeared on the horizon behind them, drifting toward them silently, like a ghost. The cruiser slipped past and parked in front of them. Both doors opened, a moment later, and two officers appeared.
"I'm going to need you to get out of the car," growled a voice that made the driver jump in her seat. The cold-eyed officer was at the window, blinding her once again with his flashlight.
"Why?" she whined. " I didn't do anything!"
"Get the fuck out of the car- now!" he roared, so loud that the driver's body literally shook. Her heart thumped loudly in her heaving chest, and the knuckles in her pale hands seemed to pop from their joints as she gripped the wheel fiercely. Through the windshield, it seemed as if the two cops were silently laughing at her, fiendish grins spread across their shadowy faces. Then a blur of movement caught her attention, and she looked to the left just in time to see the taser pop open, and felt two sharp pin pricks jab her in the side. A sudden burst of intense, bone-shattering pain consumed her body. Then the world went foggy, and faded to black.

The white girl drifted into consciousness to find herself slumped in the back seat of the police cruiser. As the blurriness lifted, she suddenly faced the horrific realization that her top and bra had been pulled up, and a large sweaty hand was groping her breasts. Beside her, an enormous, disgusting man was sniffing her hair like a dog, holding her against him with one flabby arm while he molested her with the other.
"What the fuck are you doing?!" she shrieked, struggling to protect herself but finding that her arms were handcuffed behind her.
"God, she's got such a nice set of tits on her," said the obese cop as he groped every inch of exposed skin, the glow of moonlight glistening off his dark, beady eyes. "I wonder if she shaves or keeps a bush..."
The white girl squeezed her soft thighs together as hard as she could, capturing his sweaty hand between them. The fat man laughed, wheezing through his small, piggish nose as he shoved his paw into the depths of her crotch, his greasy fingers groping her through her panties.
"Don't fucking touch me!" she barked, squirming with displeasure.
