Sign Police

PHOTO PROMPT © Rochelle Wisoff-Fields


Here we go again, Burke and me sitting in a car watching the shop front opposite us. 

It’s just the nature of our work as undercover cops. Not the kind you see on the screen. The movies don’t give you the experience of the assault on your olfactory system when two guys sit in a car on a hot day.  

Burke is bored. 

 ‘Tomorrow my next look will be a Bessie in disguise’, he says. 

 ‘Go ahead. I never judge a cover by the book’ 

 ‘Can we raid them just for that sign?’ 

 ‘Sure we can be the Sign Police’

  5. Any excuse for a police raid, eh? I have to hand it to them though putting up with "the assault on your olfactory system when two guys sit in a car on a hot day." Oh my. ��
