FFF - Turnabout

 

Officer Hupke liked being a cop; he liked the authority and he looked good in the blue uniform, or at least people seemed to think so. But what he really liked was arresting pretty women. They would do anything to get out of jail, and he was happy to oblige.

Like Darlene, part-time stripper, full-time trouble. Hupke busted her regularly, for possession, for drunk and disorderly, for whatever he felt like, really. But she'd never seen the inside of a cell because she could suck the chrome off a trailer hitch and she had no illusions, unlike some of the girls he had to help see the light. She sometimes saw him coming and offered to fuck him before he even tried to bust her. And she was pretty hot too.

That night, he nutted twice, the sex was so good, and she even offered him a taste of what she was holding, which made it all the better. Darlene had seemed particularly happy to see him that evening too. Hupke let her fool around with his uniform a little as a reward. She looked hot in blue.

The next day when Hupke went to the precinct, everyone avoided his eye. He was called in to the chief's office. IA wanted to see him. Apparently there were pictures, and Darlene was nowhere to be found.


The limitations of the form meant that I couldn't tell exactly the story I wanted to tell, but this is close enough. She just looks straight into the camera like she knows it's there, because I figure she does. I'm also proud of being able to work both required words into the first sentence. I could have gone with a female cop, but where's the fun in that?


Speaking of fun, Flash Fiction Friday is supposed to be fun, and part of what makes it fun is seeing all the different ways people interpret the picture and the assignment, and the more people there are, the better it is, so you should go to Max's blog and join in the fun. Or at least have the fun of seeing the other interpretations. I'm not going to carrot or stick this: FFF is fun, and it'd be more fun if you were playing, and that's really all that matters.

But I am going to encourage you to visit Max's blog if for no other reason than that it gives him pageviews, and he deserves them for being our host every week. You could leave a comment thanking him. You could spread his link far and wide so others will see it too. That, I'll encourage you to do.

  1. "Full-time trouble." :-) Yeah, she really was. Nice take on this pic. And extra credit for using both required words in the first sentence.
    Happy FFF!

  2. Nowhere to be found? That sounds ominous. Tell me more. I like your take, a great preview of a corrupt cop and hooker with a heart of cyanide. Give me 30% of the backend and I'll help you write the script. :-)

We welcome all criticism but the non-constructive kind isn't terribly interesting to read, so if you've got nothing to say but a quality judgment please share but keep it short. That applies to the positive sort too. We love you all.
