“Hello? [Name], are you there?” The phone hung by its cord after [Name] dropped it from her ear. The devastating news from her mother left [Name] frozen; her lips quivered as she just stared at the wall with tears in her eyes.
Her mother sighed through the phone. “I’m really sorry, sweetie. We are all heartbroken, but we would like you to be here, please? I-I love you,” and just as her mother started to weep, the call ended.
[Name] brought her hands to her face, sobbing softly to grieve before she placed the phone back on the hook. She grabbed her car keys and her sunglasses, placing them over her puffy eyes before stepping out of her home.

At the shoulder of the highway there sat a single police car, where two officers kept their boredom down by guessing the speed of each driver before the radar gun did (the speed limit was 65MPH). The driver, a dark-haired male, leaned back as he watched his red-headed partner smirking in determination.
“Okay… 68!” Rin exclaimed, pointing the radar gun at an incoming car.
Beep! 68
“HA! Told ya~ I’m too good at this.”
“Alright, my turn,” Sousuke said as he took the radar gun and pointed it out the window to another car. “I call 57.”
Beep! 57
Rin whistled, taking back the radar gun. “Lucky guess.”
“We’ve been cops for five years,” Sousuke pointed out, crossing his arms. “It’s second nature to us.”
“Sadly…” Rin muttered as he continued the “game” and pointed the radar gun once more to an incoming car. “This next one I bet $10 if it’s a… 71!”
Beep! 69
“AWW! What?!” Rin glared at the device before peering at Sousuke, whose hand was held out with his fingers beckoning the bet. “Pay up, loser.”
“Wait, wait!” Rin slapped his hand away, pouting as he points the radar gun upward once more. “Next one for sure I’ll—”
“72!” Sousuke shouted out to interrupt Rin, making him flinch.
Beep! 72
“Cheater!” Rin grouched, shoving Sousuke’s shoulder before realizing. “Wait, 72? Sousuke, shouldn’t we chase after them?”
Sousuke shook his head, shrugging. “Nah, it’s early. People are going to work, so why ruin their day?”
“Che! You are way too generous.”
“No, you’re just an ass—whoah, whoah!” Sousuke sat up from his careless position and snatched the radar gun from Rin’s hand.
“Hey! What’s with you?”
“Look over there,” Sousuke said, tilting his chin to the left so Rin could follow. Through a swarm of incoming cars was one car zooming past other cars (and even motorcycles), cutting them off just so it can reach the front.
The engine to their police car turned on and Rin was already buckling himself. “Finally some action,” he comments with determined fist pump. Sousuke had a hand on the wheel while the other pointed the radar gun out the window to hit directly at the license plate.
“Call it, Sousuke.”
“Shit, I call 87.”
The car zoomed past them, leaving a dust trail behind it.
