"Come on, seriously," Bob said. "Lemme have them."
"No," Linda said without smiling. "It's been over
a year. It's time to make a decision."
"I can't go home without my pants."
"Exactly."
Bob shifted nervously in the passenger seat.
"I called the police before I picked you up, and I reported
this car stolen."
Bob's eyes grew wide as a police cruiser rounded the corner.
"They'll arrest us, and everybody will know."
Half-naked, Bob threw open the car door and sprinted through traffic
towards his home.
The stunned officer looked at Bob and kept driving.
