Ed and Preeti are stopped by the police

They didn't get very far before a siren blared and some lights flashed in Preeti's rearview mirror as a police car started to tail them.

"Oh shit" she stated in a near panic before pulling to the side of the road.

Ed tried to tuck his cock away but his erection was too big and hard.
"Put it away, put it away" Preeti demanded, Ed tried to cover it with his hands as the police officer approached the car.

The police officer who knocked on the drivers window was an attractive Hispanic looking brunette "Do you know why I pulled you over ma'am" the policewoman asked once Preeti had wound down the window.

"No, no sir I don't. I was just giving my neighbors son a lift to the gym" Preeti replied nervously.

The officer stared at Preeti before asking "I see... Tell me ma'am what's that substance around your mouth?"

Preeti automatically touched the side of her mouth, the side opposite from Ed but directly in front of the policewoman. The substance stuck to her fingers and she examined it with surprise "it's... Oh Shiva.. Its.."

The officer looked around the car before she focused on Ed "sir, could you please place your hands on the dashboard."

Ed shook his head in refusal, too scared to speak.

"That wasn't a request, I need to ascertain if you have a dangerous weapon" the Officer stated placing one hand on her gun holster.
Ed slowly, reluctantly moved his hands away to reveal his semi-erect (or is it semi-limp?) dick hanging out of his jeans.

The officer looked at the gunk on Shreena's fingers and Ed's exposed cock, "It's pretty obvious what's happened here. You kids would've gotten away with it if you'd remembered to put your seatbelt on."

"Its all just a terrible misunderstanding, there must be a way to clear this up" Preeti pleaded.

The policewoman remained stoic as she replied "I'm sure there will be, at the police station."

Preeti begged and pleaded as she started to become hysterical at the implications of being arrested for public indecency but both she and Ed soon found themselves handcuffed in the back of the Officers car and on the way to the station. They had time to contemplate the repercussions when they arrived as they waited to be processed but Ed was able to get in contact with his mom to tell her where he was, she was not impressed when she found out. Preeti was too ashamed about the circumstances of her arrest to contact her husband or her family.

Ed had never been in a holding cell before and it was not something he was keen to repeat, he tried to keep to himself and ignore the others but one of the other detainees took a shine to him and sat too close making him uncomfortable. The man started to stroke Ed's knee causing Ed to stand and pace the cell as the man watched making kisses sounds and comments like "I like the way you walk." Ed was terrified, would the police stand by and watch if he were attacked, would they seperate them or even worse, join in?

It seemed like a lifetime but after some hours he was eventually released into his mom's care on bail with the threat that a court date would be forthcoming.

"Mom, we need to get Preeti released as well. It wasn't her fault" Ed pleaded quietly.

Holly's eyes were red "then whose fault was it Ed? Yours? What exactly happened? Have you any idea what its like to get a phone call telling you that your son is in jail?"

Ed swallowed nervously, his throat dry as he was faced with the consequences of his own stupidity and selfishness, "what did they tell you?" he asked dreading the answer and ashamed of the look of disappointment he'd see reflected in his mothers eyes.

Yet his mom refused to look at him "enough, they told me enough. I cannot believe that you would do something like that, for the first time in my life I feel... If your father were here maybe he'd know what to do with you."

"but he's not.... Idris is..." Ed commented not even attempting to hide the bitterness.

For the first time in his life Ed thought his mom was going to hit him, in a police station no less, "is that what this was about? Some cry for attention because I met someone that makes me happy? Someone who cares for me? You can't share me with someone? How can you treat me like that after everything I've done for you and all the sacrifices I made for you? Maybe Idris is right and you just need to grow up and stand on your own two feet" Holly commented exasperated by her sons behavior since his return.

"but mom..." Ed whined feeling like a child scolded in the middle of a police station by his mom while amused police and public looked on. Holly turned and began to walk out of the police station, Ed chased after her "but mom... what about Preeti."

"I'm glad that for once you think about someone other than yourself, whatever happened to my sweet little boy who wanted to explore some of the world? You've changed and not necessarily for the better. She's a married woman who should have known better but since you asked, she managed to arrange bail on her own, she's already gone home as far as I know" Holly told her son.

Ed quietly followed his mom with a new appreciation for why Nyomi was prepared to do anything to keep Jamal out of prison. He had been so worried about himself while he'd been in the holding cell that he hadn't had time to fully consider the impact his actions would have had on his mom. He had intended to be the perfect hero son she deserved but had failed at every hurdle, his fooloishness and libido had not only stopped him finding out why his name was on the letter that had upset his mom but he'd now made things ten times worse.
