Head Up High

Judah hurried to get home before Shiloh. He preferred to be there before so he could be mentally prepared for that inevitable conversation. He played and replayed possible scenarios and outcomes of the conversation so much that he absentmindedly ran a stop sign, nearly causing a pileup. Much to his dismay, but in tune with the day he was having, there happened to be police car sitting nearby. The cop lit up his lights and Judah pulled over with a resigned sigh, turned the car off and put his hands on the wheel.

"You in a hurry to get somewhere, Son?"

"I'm sorry. I was just lost in thought, Sir."

"How bout you think BEFORE you cause a pile up, huh?"

Judah bit his tongue to keep from saying something smart as he gave the "Officer Howard" his license and paperwork.

"Judah Prince, huh?" Judah nodded. "You kin to Shiloh Prince?"

"The same."

"Well I'll be darned! She's a sweet girl! She helped me in a tough spot not too long ago."
