They were always close to hard times. So she and Pepper invented a game to play before the calls piled up. Beginning of shift, late afternoon, before the zone began to bust up, before the adrenaline hours, they ran from roll call, scrambling to get to their Crown Vics, eager to get a traffic case on some obscure charge. The winner would be the first one to have written at least one ticket for each of the violations in the traffic code.
