Under arrest- Ethan Dolan

1

"Claudia you're on highway patrol" says the captain looking over at my desk. I get up and suit up. I put on my vest and then my high viz. I liked highway patrol but not on Thursdays because nothing happened.

I walk down the stairs of the precinct and walk into the car garage. I get into the car and turn on my radio to listen to any announcements.

I pull onto the highway and drive at 100 miles per hour. Before I get into the story, I should introduce myself. I'm Claudia Scott. I'm 17 years old and I work for the New Jersey Police as an intern. My dad worked there for 30 years and was captain for 28 of them.

So I was pretty much destined to be a cop. The captain has a lot of trust with me so he lets me do highway patrol instead of sitting at a desk after school doing paperwork.

I'm meant to be an intern but as I said, the captain trusts me and my dad. Anyways back to the story

I pull onto the highway. No one is doing anything. I pull into the bay and turn on my radar gun (determines speed of passing cars). I sit for a while watching as cars pass at a speed of either 95,96,97  all the way up to 105.

I watch it carefully as I don't want to miss anything. I look away for a minute. I look out my window in the other direction. It's pitch black so I can't see much so I squint. Suddenly my radar gun starts beeping like crazy.

I yank back the gear changer into drive and step on the accelerator. I turn on my sirens and look at the radar gun. 137. this person was in a rush. I pull up behind the car and it swerves into the other lane.

I pull behind it again and it speeds up. 145,147,149. I speak into my radio. "We have a potential runner" I say. "Number plate 578-EPY can someone check that for me?" I ask pressing my foot onto the accelerator.

"Nothing Claudia sorry" Says the operator. "No problem. I pull up beside the car. I'm going 156 on a 100 zone. I look at them. There windows are down so I wind down.

"Pull over buddy unless you want jail time" I can't see there faces. They pull over into the next bay. " got them" I say into the radio. I pull up behind them. I'm nervous but this is my job so I shouldn't be.

I get out of my car and walk beside the car. "So guys, why were we going at 157 in a 100 zone?" I ask. They are wearing hats so I can't see there faces.

"I don't know" the driver says. His words are slurred. I bend over and put my head into the door."Full name" I ask. "Ethan Dolan" he says. I freeze. Ethan Dolan goes to my school. But there are hundreds of other Ethan Dolan's in New Jersey I tell myself.

"Age" I ask swallowing. "17" he says. "Can I see your drivers license please" he takes it out of his wallet. And flashes it at me. I'll just get it at the police station

"How much have you had to drink tonight?" I ask. "1 beer" he says. I pull out my breathalyser. "Breathe into the tube until I say stop" I say holding the tube to the driver. "1,2,3 and stop" I say.

I look down. 0.4. The legal limit is 0.2 for under 21's. I test his brother as well. They're both over the limit. " Well buddy your going to have to come down to the station for questioning. Please get out of the car and remove your hat" i say. He gets out I don't see his face. "Place your hands behind you back" i say.

"You have the right to remain silent" I push him against the car. "Anything you say or do can and will be used against you in a court of law" I say handcuffing him.

I lift him back up off the car. He looks into my eyes. I look into his. God damn it. It is Ethan Dolan. His brown eyes stared straight into my soul. He smirked. "You were saying?" he whispers into my ear. Shivers went down my spine.

"Nothing" I say. I put him into the back of my car. "Hey what about me?" Grayson says getting out of the car. You'll have to come down too" I say. Grayson groans. I put him into the car as well.

"Yeah can we have someone come and pick up a black Mercedes Benz from bay 8 on state high way 4" I say. I wait for the police to arrive. Then I head off.

I put the car into drive and head down the motorway. "Claudia I had no idea you were a cop" Says Grayson slurring his words. He falls onto Ethan's lap and falls asleep.

Everything is silent except for my radio. Police are talking to each other.

"You know if you turn me in, I'll be kicked off the football team" Ethan says pushing Grayson off. "Not my problem" I say pulling off the motorway.

"Why are you a cop anyways?" He asks. "Because it keeps me from going to parties and getting drunk" I say. "Oh so you're a good girl" Ethan says looking at me through the mirror.

"I just do the right thing" I say. "Grayson get the fuck off me" Ethan says pushing off him and onto the wall. Grayson wakes up.

"You know, I hear cop pussy is best" Grayson says half asleep. Ethan laughs and I put my head down trying not to laugh.

"What made you want to party on a Thursday anyways?"I ask. "A party's a party Claudia" Ethan says looking out the window.

I just arrested Ethan and Grayson Dolan.
