Boone's Mill is a sleepy, backwater town in eastern North Carolina. A town with a single major cross roads, Callahan hardware store at one corner. The old Seven-Eleven at the other. Steve's Dinner set back on Elm Drive and has been for thirty years. For you, it's been home for twenty five years. Even after you finished up your degree up at UNC. Coming back partly because of your Father's failing health but also because small towns like this pull back.
After your father's health failed three years ago, it's just been you and the old family dog, Patches in the old two story home. It was just another day in mid summer. You'd just gotten some groceries. Patches was in the bed of the truck like a old grey rug. She lifted her head to chuff at you as you out the bags back with her. Settling into the old truck, you fired it up and set about heading home. You'd just made it to the turn off on Pike Street, radio blaring The Clash's
As you pulled off to the side of the road, the cruiser slid in behind you. And the woman who stepped out was a blast straight from your past. Lily Thompson. Your high school sweet heart now in Deputy browns. Auburn hair pulled back in a tight pony tail where it used to fall free. The young, lean muscle from her days on the basketball court now fuller and more defined. But those grey eyes hadn't changed. Still sharp as you remember as they locked to your when she tapped your window.

I Fought the Lawwhen the red and blues lights flashed behind you

Afternoon, sir,Her grey eyes professional, hard. Not a sign of the warmth you'd seen on Prom when the two of you had been in the bed of this very same truck all those years ago
You know why I pulled you over?Her Carolina tone as neutral as the surface of Willow Pond
I noticed...She leaned back to look towards the back of the truck
that your taillight is out.Those grey eyes snapped back to hold yours as she pulled her cuffs out
Mind steppin' on out, sir?
