WARNING!!! ADULTS ONLY!! In The Life of Mike Stone Part 174 By Mike Stone 2016 At a rest area couple miles from the state line a state trooper stopped by to observe and report,this was part of his daily patrol routine.Texting his wife the trooper told her he'd be home in a couple hours.It was just after five p.m. and eighty three degrees as the summer season was close.Road weary travelers enjoyed the warm sun as they sat at picnic tables or walked their dogs.Members of a rock band on their way to Garland City played Frisbee and young adults with a moving van smoked cigarettes and talked about their future.The trooper noticed a man going into the bushes no doubt looking for a blow job.The trooper looked at his cell phone to read text message from his wife.The trooper smiled for a moment but then noticed a couple at a picnic table.The man was rather scruffy looking wearing dirty jeans and ratty t-shirt.His red baseball cap with an M on it seemed out of place on the man.The woman seemed nervous when the trooper approached them."Shut up bitch."The man said in a low voice.The woman faked a smile as the trooper walked by.The trooper walked back to his patrol car not before calling for back up.A man in a dirty white"Wife beater"shirt and dirty army pants came out of van with a sawed off shotgun. The man fired a shotgun blast at the trooper before he could draw his weapon. "C'mon let's get the fuck out of here!"Shotgun shouted at red cap and the woman.People were running for cover or hitting the ground as sound of sirens pierced the once peaceful air.Officers from a nearby town arrived brandishing AR-15 rifles while a deputy sheriff arrived with a shotgun.Wife beater aimed his sawed off shotgun at the two local officers.Ome cop fired his AR-15 and wife beater's shoulder was shattered by a 5,56 NATO round.Wife beater screamed in pain as he fell to the concrete.Red cap ran into the bushes as the woman surrendered to the deputy crying her eyes out.A helicopter was overhead as the pilot was in contact with the highway patrol.Men came running out of the bushes as a handful law enforcement officers went into the bushes armed and ready.The pilot said that red cap was heading to a homeless camp in the woods.Fifteen minutes later the county sheriff's SWAT team had entered the bushes.Red cap avoided the homeless camp and went down a trail.Tripping over a large tree root red cap broke his ankle.The SWAT team could hear the screams of red cap and the jig was up.With nowhere to go red cap held up his hands and gave up. Just after six thirty that evening the local sheriff held a press conference confirming that the persons wanted for the rape and murder of a thirteen year old boy in the town of Morningside.In a house in a small town a woman watched the breaking news on television.A picture of the boy was shown,he wore a red baseball cap with an M on it.The woman prayed that her husband would call as she held her four year old daughter."Mommy there's a police car out front." The woman's six year old son said to her.The woman looked out the window and saw a highway patrol captain walking up to the front door.She knew the man her husband's boss and friend of the family.The woman opened the door and she knew from the look in the captain's eyes her husband had been killed in the line of duty."Noooo!!!"The woman screamed as she fell into the arms of the captain.The man across the street stood in front of his house cursed the three people now in custody"I hope they fry those bastards!"The man said in anger.
