CHAPTER 18. PLAY WITH FIRE...

Everything in me just shouted, 'RUN! RUN! YOU IDIOT, GO!' And 'HIDE THE EVIDENCE' or 'CAUSE A SCENE, A DISTRACTION, ANYTHING! JUST DON'T LET THEM FIND THE BLOOD, TEETH, AND THAT CHUNK OF NOSE!' but, yet my feet and mouth stayed firmly planted to there current states, frozen and not moving. I peeked out the corner of my eye towards Tiffany, hoping... I don't know what I was hoping for exactly... a miracle? Man oh man if I ever had an angel on my shoulder now would be the time... Hint. Hint.

Seconds, only seconds had passed, I was terrified and soon we would be on our ways to breathalyzer land, but what would come first? Jail from evidence suggesting foul play, or passing the test, and being crazy then promptly going to jail? Each is a sentence to prison. I would not last a day in prison good lord save us now! Please! Uh it was killing me is he there yet? Is he there yet, yet? Oh god! I hate suspense! Suddenly out of my eye I see movement coming from Tiff. I lean ever so gently as to not tip off Piazza, and see what she was doing, was moving her hand in an a-ok, fashion. What the hell?

The question made its way onto my face, how could it not? But I wasn't too obvious I was trying to be on the low about it. She did it again, my eye brows shot up in confused frustration. I grunted at her. She did it again, I also grunted once more, then we were called towards a moving Piazza as he let us to his police cruiser. He then popped his trunk and unloaded his breathalyzer equipment. He had his back turned and we were still a few feet away I seized this rare and only opportunity because it was now or never.

"Tiff the f-ing teeth, blood, and nose chunk! We are sooo fudged it is not even funny! What the truck are we gonna do?" oh my god I was losing it. I was so having a mental breakdown I was now panting, heaving sucking in the air around me. Boom Boom Boom my heart pounded in my chest as I awaited her response not even a second had passed. I felt some sweat bead up on my forehead, and slid down onto my nose. "Its all good." she said as if she hadn't a care in the world. I wanted to strangle her!

Then she made that A-ok sign with her fingers again, "What the heck gives Tiff? Why do you keep doing that? What the heck are we gonna do? Were going to jail! Were done for DOOMED it tell you! I cant go there Tiff! I'll die in there! No! No way I'm going down like that, you better not talk, I ain't saying nothing! that's my story I'm sticking to it. You too." I ran out of breath that is the only reason I stopped yapping. I felt as if I just couldn't get enough air. "Listen you darn banana! If you do not shut your damn mouth now, your gonna get us in all kinds of trouble! So stop now. Shut up and be quiet!" Tiffany finished. "Isn't shut up and be quiet the same thing?" I asked. It wasn't normal for us to switch roles like this, I was usually the calm one. I think?

And that was it. We ran out of time. "Open your mouths now you's two." "Ahh" - "Gahh" both of us made the same sounds upon opening our mouths as we blew into the little pipe. Then we waited, but seconds. He looked down into the tests, looked at us, leaned in towards us and sniffed at our mouths, then looked back down at the tests.

What the f- "I don't believe it... I don't fricken believe it!" he said in disbelief. Uh oh. Sheesh I'm thinking I've used mouthwash before all this happened and sneak another look to Tiff, who rolled her eyes saying she hadn't a clue either. He tossed the tests into his trunk, and reached for two more, great. "Alright, these are defective I'm gonna need you's to take another, so open wide again." we did and we puffed and puffed, then waited. Again that disbelief look plagued his face, and he turned up his eyes from the tests to us, we were nothing but bags of nerves.

"Nothing. Clean I don't believe it." Officer Piazza spoke with disappointment. But the world of hurt wasn't over yet, and I didn't dare breath any sigh of relief, and the same went for Tiff, because the other officer was still behind us and we hadn't heard a peep from that. I could safely say we were nowhere out of the woods. Officer Piazza looked up and looked to be communicating with his eyes, and suddenly I knew it wasn't to us but the cop behind us. CRAP. That's it I guess, his face didn't look nice not at all. With nothing left to lose I suppose, defeated, I threw my hands out in front of me, mentally saying 'book me officer' Tiff quickly knew exactly what I was doing and smacked my hands down and hissed "Stupid" I made the facial motions to say that 'hey your not wrong.' I was and I take full credit for my own stupidity which was miles and miles of it. Then Piazza looked at me, I could see what he was thinking, he had just barley caught the end of my idiotic display of complete stupidity and looked at me as to why the hell I would do that, then decided I couldn't-no wouldn't-be THAT stupid and dismissed it.
