“Where was I? Oh, yeah. I was trying to get someone else to help me in case it all turned to shit, but the closest officer was at least thirty minutes away. Then, I noticed the license tabs. I almost didn’t catch it at first because I was so in shock about where the car was from. His tabs expired just a few days prior. Holy shit, was I nervous. I turned on my lights and siren, and it took a good mile or so for him to pull over. I then got out and drew my gun. I kept it behind my back.”
