"Damnit!" Miykael exclaimed upon seeing the line of cars in front of him. Pulling the four wheel drive off the road he drove in the ditch beside it, hoping to get around before the steep highway cliffsides Colorado was so well known for appeared in the side of the road. Instead he found police blocking the road, stepping in front of his path and holding up a hand for him to stop. Rolling his eyes, he pulled over. The officer walked up to his window and tapped a knuckle on it.
Rolling his eyes, Miykael rolled down the window and in a mocking tone said, "Is there a problem officer?"
"Yes sir I'd say there is. Are you aware that it is against the law for you to be driving off of the road like that?"
"No officer, I was completely unaware of that. I wonder, is it also illegal to go above the speed limit?"
"Okay smartass, license and registration."
"I don't have one."
"I'm sorry?"
"This is a state of emergency and I know how to use a car. I dont need a license by law."
"Sir that may be true in a state of emergency, but this little epidemic has not been declared a state of emergency."
"My parents and siblings killed eachother in a fit of fever and there were no emergency services available to help us. I'd say that constitutes a state of fucking emergency."
"What's your name son?"
"Why dont you figure it out. My dad's license plate is five feet from you."
"Fine asshole, we'll do this the hard way." Stepping in front of the Acadia, the officer pulls out a walkie talkie and starts to call to his partner. "Yeah Jack... We've got a... 499b... Uh-huh... Nah he's just being a little prick is all..."
That was the last thing he said before 3 tons of Aluminum, Steel, and Plastic ran him down, and barreled through the checkpoint. My window still down, I shout to the cars in a standstill behind me. "Well? Do you want to live or not?" And I start driving away at top speed before a damned police puncture strip caused me to skid into the ditch at the side of the road, followed closely by the first dozen cars behind me to start up. The result was catastrophic.The cars ended up in many different positions along the road, but the eventual result was a pileup three vehicles wide blocking the road and any chance of going around it was cut off by a deeply forested area to the right, and a bridge gap to the left. The road was officially closed. There was no way anyone was getting through that in a car...
"FUCK!"
