　　When the truck stopped in front of his own car, Officer Jones hoped that the police bulletin was wrong.The bulletin had said that a burglar was doing a bunk from a crime scene in a red truck. Now that Officer Jones had stopped a red truck, he had a bad feeling. He could suddenly picture his wife attending his burial and the moles burrowing through the soil around his dead body. But, as he put his coffee and the bun he had been eating down on the seat next to him,he knew he had a job to do.

　　When Officer Jones walked up to the window of the car, Jack Bail looked back at him. Jack had been the biggest bully in the town that Officer Jones had grown up in. He was meaner than a bull and as big as one,too. Officer Jones had stayed five years in that town before the police bureaucracy transferred him to another region. This was the man he feared the most. And now he had to arrest him.

　　"Hey Wally!” said Jack in a funny voice, “What's wrong? Was I speeding? I know my bumper looks like it's about to fall off,but that's not enough reason to stop your old friend, is it?”

　　"Hello Jack.” Officer Jones replied. “No, I have to take you in. Please step out of the truck!”

　　Jack made an angry face and said, “Now this isn't because of that time I tied you to the bunk bed and beat you up, is it?”

　　"No Jack,I just need to take you in for some questions.” This was uncomfortable and Officer Jones could tell it wasnt going well.

　　Jack Bail suddenly started his truck up and said, “Sorry Wally,I can't do that. It looks like you're going to have to come and get me!!!”

　　As he ran back to get into his police car to chase Jack, Officer Jones knew his worst nightmares were coming true.

　　当卡车停在他的小车前面时，琼斯警官希望警察局的消息弄错了。消息说一名窃贼正开着一辆红色卡车从犯罪现场匆忙逃走。由于琼斯警官拦截了一辆红色卡车，他有一种不祥的感觉。他突然就能想像到他的妻子参加他的葬礼以及鼹鼠在他的尸体周围的土中挖洞的情景。但是，当他把咖啡及吃着的面包放在旁边的桌子上时，他知道他有一件工作要做。

　　琼斯警官走到卡车窗前的时候，杰克·贝尔正回过头来看他。杰克是琼斯警官长大的那个城市中的恃强欺弱者。他比公牛还凶，而且个子也大得像头公牛。琼斯警官被警界官僚调到另外一个地区之前在那座城市呆了五年。他最怕的就是这个人。而现在他不得不逮捕他。

　　“嗨!沃利，”杰克用一种怪怪的声音说道，“有什么不对吗?我超速了吗?我知道我的保险杠看上去好像要掉了似的，但仅凭这个理由你不能就把老朋友拦住，是吗?”

　　“嗨!杰克，”琼斯警官答道，“不是，你得跟我到警察局走一趟，请下车!”

　　杰克生气地做了个鬼脸，“这次不是因为我上次把你捆在卧铺上打了你一顿，对吧?”

　　“不，杰克，只是带你去问一些问题。”这话听起来让人不舒服，琼斯警官能够觉出情况有些不妙。

　　杰克·贝尔突然一踩油门说：“抱歉，沃利，我不能奉陪。你要想抓我，就来追吧!!!”

　　在跑回警车，开车追杰克时，琼斯警官知道那最可怕的噩梦就要变成现实了。
