A mystery serial presented as a contemporary homage to Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot.
Chapter Seven: In which I encounter Johnny Law and we thereby learn that Sige has a formal relationship with state law enforcement.
An excerpt:
In a lovely baritone, and full of the plenipotentiary authority of the law itself, he intoned a few introductory passages, according to form, looked over my paperwork, then asked ineluctably, “Do you know why I’ve pulled you over?”
“Drinking and driving?” I proffered.
“What? No, I pulled you over for failing to signal,” he replied. His flashlight came into the car, and in a moment he had discovered the open case of Canadians and the empty bottle on the floorboard. A moment later he discovered that I was barefoot. “Wait here,” he said. He returned to his car while I waited according to his command.
The temptation to drink another beer began to take possession of me. I couldn’t believe my own will. I reached for the open case, felt for the next available bottle, and began to pull it out. “What’s wrong with you?” I said to myself. “What is wrong with you?”
The trooper took his time getting back to me, which made the urge to pound another beer all the more…urgent, but I managed to suppress that which I did not want to do. Another police car arrived, parking in front of me. The first trooper then approached my car, saying, “You drank that beer coming out of the parking lot just now, right?”
“Yessir, I did.”
He followed up. “You know that’s illegal in the state of New York, right?”
“Yessir, I do.”
His flashlight re-entered the car. “You’re not wearing socks and shoes.”
“I’m in training, sir,” I blurted out.
“In training?”
“Yessir.”
“In training for what?”
I hesitated. I didn’t know how to answer that question, and I realized I wouldn’t know how to answer that question if I were being asked without being under the flashlight of the law.
