"You call me dummy, then expect me to do mysterious favours for you in the middle of the night?!" he exclaimed.

your turn

"I'm sorry alright! Please come, it's about Tim, " she said.

;)

"Tim?! I'll be right there," he replied, the worry bleeding into his tone.

To ....

He almost literally flew to his car. He knew it would normally take 30mins to get there on a clear day, but he could do it in 10mins flat he thought.

You know it's harder to stop at one sentence than I thought. I shouldn't be beaking my own rules. :P

He fumbled the key in the ignition, turned it and heard nothing but a loud click.

, I cheated too...technically Tim?! is a sentence.

"#@&, #@&, #*@&" he exclaimed loudly as punched the steering wheel and dashboard.

As he sat there contemplating his next step and rubbing his sore knucles, he was was distracted by lights shining from his rear view mirror.

your turn.

Great. Just what I need he thought as Officer Lloyd Spencer stepped out of his patrol car.

Um feel free to change his name if you want. :P I've been naming people the whole time. :D

Lloyd had always been the bully when they were at school together, and becoming a cop had just made his attitude even worse.

Oh I'm terrible at naming things (points to UN), so I really don't mind.

"So, what do we have here?," Lloyd chuckled as he stepped up to Carl who was still sitting in his car with the window down.

This is taking longer than the other times. You know I read a lot of gay fiction that starts with enemies getting together. :P I've been keeping it Pg though ;)

Carl hesitated before speaking, trying to decide if it would be better to get rid of him as quickly as possible, or to try to engage his help.

LOL I read much the same sort of stuff...and its not PG :P

He settled on just telling Lloyd the truth at least as much as knew. Jo hadn't exactly been to forthcoming with information in the first place anyway.

Your go! :)

He did try to keep his sense of urgency out of his tone, knowing that Lloyd would start to move at a glacial pace if he sensed how worried Carl really was.

Can't believe how long its taking to get a ticket.

Surprisingly, when Carl told Lloyd that the car wouldn't start he offered him a ride in the patrol car. Carl agreed hesitantly even though visions of him being stuck and locked in the back were running through his head.

I know, right. :(

Carl hurried to the patrol car's front passenger door, not even giving Lloyd a chance to suggest he get in back.

"I got my stuff up front so sit in the back", Lloyd said. Laughing at the frightened face Carl made, Llyod said, "I'm just effing with you. Sit up front. Just don't touch my gun and junk."

Tickets? are there such things here?

Carl couldn't help an audible sigh of relief as he got in the front seat.

Nope I don't think so. I think is hiding in another forum, posting madly and stealing them from us.

EDIT: then again maybe not 😊 Wow, you found a raffle ticket while responding on the forums. Check it out in your inventory!

Hey, sorry, I got company unexpectedly. Love the story. THanks for keeping it PG! Since you know, my name is Jo and you don't know but my dad's first name was Carl :p ANd he was really good friends with a guy named Lloyd.

, , Hmmm... PG.. Guess I was the only one that read Eric's addition..

.. totally differently, given the previous mention of reading material etc...

I will now go and retrieve my mind from the gutter..

Edit.. Wow, you found a raffle ticket while responding on the forums. Check it out in your inventory!

I thought the same thing but refused to allow my mind to go there considering the familiar names! lol

Congrats on the ticket!
