“So you ladies care to explain what I just saw here?”

I could see Andy was biting back whatever comment had come to mind but was glad we did not need any more trouble. And I was sure that if she said anything it was more than likely to piss the nice officer off.

So instead we both just stood there and tried to look innocent. Although when you are blushing as fiercely as my wife was it is really hard to look innocent about anything

I decided that denial was the best way to go so just tried to avoid the subject of where my hands had been and why he copped a very explicit view of my wife’s *****.

“Well I thought I heard a knocking in the engine so I just pulled off the road to take a look but I dropped a cell phone in the engine and don’t have anything to reach it with so I think I will just have to call a friend to help. Thank you for stopping though it was thoughtful of you. Oh yeah and my wife was bursting so had jus stepped off to have a pee.”

I replied to him with the sweetest smile I could muster. It was lame and instead of making things better it seemed to make them worse. Just our luck this particular cop had one of those very fragile male egos and took his job very seriously. Apparently my underestimation of both his professionalism and his intelligence really pissed him off.

By all accounts he could not actually charge me for anything as he had not seen me clearly enough to ascertain what I had been doing but he could take my wife in to charge her with indecent exposure on a public highway.

“***** Rachel call someone to come get you and meet me at the station. Get them to bring a toolbox so you can get my phone and for god sake phone Peggy and let her know we are all right Oh now come on do we really need handcuffs officer?”

I watched on in shock as my wife was carted away and just stood there for a few minutes to make sure this was all really happening. Before getting my cell from the car.
