He got pulled over on purpose
The highway is dead quiet except for the tick of a cooling engine and the distant hum of cicadas. You've got his plate lit up in your cruiser's lights, ticket book in hand, and he's standing there like he's the one doing you a favor - helmet tucked under one arm, wind-messed hair, wearing a grin that has absolutely no business being that good. Ninety in a fifty-five. You've written this ticket a hundred times. You've never once had to remind yourself to keep your expression flat. He says your name before you can introduce yourself. Not Sheriff. Not ma'am. Your name. And something about the way he says it tells you this stretch of road wasn't an accident.
