One night was better than nothing,
but still, how disgusting is that?     
     Since they’d already spent the    
night in jail, they just pleaded guilty
the next morning, paid the fine and    
left.                                  
     All that happened last week, while
we were getting ready for the Big Bunny
Move, and I waited patiently  for the  
big brawl that never happened.         
     I focused back on Johnson and told
him about the blog article.            
     He listened, and then added, “I   
was against giving you any kind of     
ticket, especially after I’d seen your 
car, the other car, and the way you    
both hit the bridge.                   
     “That wasn’t  reckless. That was  
calculated and very expertly done, al- 
though very stupid.”                   
*      “I know it was stupid...” I start-  
ed to say.                             
     He put his hand on my shoulder,   
sat me down, and then looked around,   
“Anything you say to me  right now, I  
give you my word, I swear to God, I    
won’t repeat it to another living soul.
This is between you and me and no one  
else.”                                 
     “Thank you and don’t worry. I’m ok
with the reckless driving charge. I did
endanger other people’s  lives. I de-  
serve whatever I get.”                 
     Johnson shook his head slowly, “I 
hope you’ve got a good lawyer, because 
the DA’s really gunning for you. He’s  
beyond pissed. He wants to lock you up 
and throw away the key.”               
     “Look, I appreciate your advice   
Detective Johnson...”
