Chapter 45: The ride home

On the ride home things were a little tense. Jenny had auctioned off most of her clothes, which left her with her high-heeled boots and silk stockings. She was strapped into the driver's seat of Joe's 55 Chevy five point seat belt practically naked. The harness wouldn't permit her to slump down and out of sight from cars pulling up along side of her, but it was about four o'clock in the morning and traffic was light.

They were almost home, when police lights went off on a car following closely behind. Jenny's blood turned cold with terror. She pulled over. The car had no markings. Two men identified themselves as detectives and asked Jenny for identification. Their flashlights were coming in from both front windows, and illuminated Jenny's nakedness. Tears started to roll because she knew she was in deep trouble with no way out. She handed them her driver's license out of her purse. Joe pulled the proof of insurance and registration out of the pocket in the sun visor.

One officer said: "Mrs. Jenkins you are in trouble and we will have to give you a series of tickets. You did not come to a complete stop at the last stop sign. You are driving without clothes, potentially causing a distraction to other drivers. I'm afraid we will have to take you in. Your husband can drive this car home and post bail for you. We will keep you overnight and there will be a hearing in the morning. After that, the judge will set a hearing, and set bail for you. Your husband can come bring some clothes and bail you out.
