But thankfully my Dad could, he was driving. We pulled over, and I heard the cops opening their doors, though they didn't immediately get out and come to greet us.
I noticed three or four other cars had been pulled over, it was almost like a fleet of cop cars had dropped on us from nowhere. Maybe they had invested in cloaking devices? Or Helicopter drop sites. Wait...what? Never mind.
We sat for what felt like hours, waiting for the cops to approach the car and go through their routine. Eventually people in other cars started getting out, so I followed suit.
The cops didn't seem to mind, which struck me as unusual. I walked over to the cop that had pulled us over so long ago. "Sir, I was wondering what's taking so long? We've been here for an unusually long time". My voice was more unsteady than I would have liked.
The cop in the drivers seat of the car ahead of me looked up. He seemed surprised, as if he was just now noticing that I was there. "Oh, hello. Sir we usually ask people to stay in their cars, but we have a lot of work to do here, with so many people pulled over at once. It's unprecedented, but we'll have it sorted out soon. Until then, do as you like."
I nodded and turned around, having noticed a growing group of people standing to one side of the highway, I headed towards them.
As I approached I noticed one boy, about my age, wearing a green shirt and blue jeans. Seeming to limp to one side, he growled and jumped at a white haired older man, who didn't even flinch.
I was appalled, the boys expression was savage. But the older man laughed and the younger boy stopped before he hit him, and joined in the laughing, which had spread throughout the group.
