As I pulled into my driveway, I received a call from a random woman. "Asalam O Alaikum! Mr. Bee speaking!" I said, trying to sound normal.
The woman on the other end sounded confused. "Umm... sorry, is that not Mr. Robin Hook? Uncle Robin, I brought your lights for Christmas."
I chuckled and hung up. "Wrong number! Hmmm... Robin Hook... like Robin Hood! Robin Hood needs lights for Christmas. Was he a Christian, though?"
My head was spinning, and my car was veering off course. I managed to stop it just in time, narrowly avoiding a collision. Officer Swan, a 22-year-old officer, happened to be standing nearby.
"Are you nuts, guy? Open up the window!" he exclaimed.
I rolled down the window, and Officer Swan's expression turned from annoyance to surprise. "Oh, good lord! Not you again, right! What seems to be the problem this time?"
I spoke in a slurred tone, as if I were intoxicated. "The problem is that I can't stand elite class people of the company."
Officer Swan looked confused. "What? What does that mean?"
"That means the ones who can't fight... I have to be the symbolism of wishful thinking for them," I said, taking out all my frustration. "And you coppers better stop helping those bastards against the poor and weak people of the town."
Officer Swan removed his hand from the car, looking around nervously. "Okay, okay! Just calm down... I have some respect in the town, okay!"
I became more agitated. "You don't deserve to be respected! You're supporting the fraud company. Tell me, how do you sleep at night after going so hard in the disco with our money?"
Officer Swan took a deep breath. "Never mind! Three dollars this time. Pay and try not to do this again."
I checked my pockets and found them empty. "I don't have any money. I think your masters took it all from us. You should go and ask them; they'll help you pay my bill."
Officer Swan's frustration was palpable. "Remember, last warning was it! Now just get lost before anyone hears you."
As I turned the car around and left, I said, "Okay, but I'll come for all of it! Every pie and penny, and I'll make you suffer in my hood while my feet are on your neck."
Officer Swan let out a dismissive "Huh!" as I drove away. I smiled to myself, thinking that he just considered me unlucky to encounter him all the time.
