At that time of night, as was the norm for the intersection, Ford Road was greeted with blinking yellow lights, while those driving down Morton Taylor would have to stop for the blinking reds. The green car that JJ Smudski was driving, however, would have to come to a stop on Ford due to the oddly large number of cars that happened to be driving west through the intersection at that time. While the driver was waiting to turn, another car pulled into the left lane behind him, and the two waited patiently for their turn.
A minute later, a break in traffic gave them the chance to turn. Seizing the opportunity, JJ released the break and began to turn; the car behind him did the same. As chance would have it, this glee in their chance to turn was cut short as they were cut off by a car which had been stopped on Morton Taylor. Apparently unaware of the fact that the car and the car behind it had the right of way, the car, which was heading north, also saw this break in traffic as a chance to pass through the intersection, and, even though he or she did not have the right of way, took it.
JJ and the driver of the car behind him both slammed on their breaks as the car accelerated in front of them, and JJ let out a few words directed at that car, but those words shall not be repeated on this blog. After it passed, JJ, muttering under his breath, began to go again, and followed the car down Morton Taylor. He wasn't stalking the car, driving down Morton Taylor had been his intention all along.
The car behind JJ, which also followed him through the intersection, but for the same non-intrusive reason that JJ had followed the other car, seemed to be impatient with the whole situation, and to JJ's surprise, began to pass him on the left by driving in Morton Taylor's left turn lane. JJ, terrified that he was suddenly in a new movie called "Night of the Awful Drivers" (a movie which clearly had very bad production credits, because it was an awful premise to begin with), only wanted the situation to be over with, so he allowed the car into the lane in front of him.
As the car was passing, however, he noticed the large white words shining on the side of the car. "Canton Police." Smiles crept onto his face and Brandon's as the police officer proceeded to pull over the car which had just cut them off, and those smiles stayed there for several minutes afterward. This was, in fact, one of the best things that had ever happened to them. Yes, they had been wronged, but sweet, sweet justice had been served.
