We get packed into the back of a squad car, me and Stash and the other couple, Jeanette and Richie.
Mr. Nasty-Ass Copper and his Rookie Bitch get situated up front.
I mutter to no one in particular: "So I guess this is the prom limo?"This makes everyone snicker, including the cops. But then Nasty-Ass of course has to interject:
"Hey, so what does it take to shut you up, Millie? What do we gotta stick in your mouth?"Yuck. We all get quiet in the back. Copper looks over at the rookie next to him, tries to engage him. Rookie snorts nervously - not quite a laugh. I actually feel bad for the rookie right now.
After a minute or two of silence, Cute Richie mutters: "Just our luck, we get fucking Hamburger." This makes my ears perk up. I've heard of this cop before: Fucking HAMBURGER - he's Park Folklore. Known for his unreasonable and sadistic tendencies. Ah-HA! Now it all made sense. This was him. Hamburger. A true scum-bag. Yes, indeed this was Him.I can't say I was thrilled to know that I was now an official Hamburger Victim, but somehow I still felt weirdly honored to have suddenly, unwittingly earned this badge. Whatever happened now was sand in the wind. But whether or not I survived, I had - at the very least - endured for a bit of time.
Stashley starts in: "I have 2 doobies on me and my lithium… "Me (hissing): "You know what you gotta do, Stash? You gotta shut the fuck up."
Stash: "…I'm not throwing them away, I tell you that…this shit is like…and I can't go home without at least the lithium…and I don't even have a 'scrip…if I need…and…fuck this shit. I'm just gonna throw the joints on the floor…I'm gonna toss the doobies now…"Me: "You better shut the fuck up Stanley ('STANLEY'!!! I guess things are getting serious…) . This fucking cop is totally nuts. You gotta stop it NOW. Just SHUT UP."
And while he's still parking our squad car, Hamburger turns around in his seat and grins at us, goes: "Stupid ass punks."
