Running From the Law
Two policemen patrol the streets. It's quite late, and the night is still, perhaps too still.
Officer Landis: Hey Micheals, you see the game last night?
Officer Micheals: Yeah! Can't believe the Steelers won! They were down 31-0 at half-time!"
Officer Landis: I wish we were at home, instead of patrolling these damn streets every Tuesday night. No one's ever out past midnight on a Tuesday night!
Officer Micheals: I know what you mean man! But hey, we chose Tuesdays. Nothing ever goes down on a Tuesday night. And besides, we got Friday and Saturday nights off! We can go out for drinks or to the strip club!
Officer Landis: True. What do you say to the pussycat lounge this Friday? I hear Selena Spice is going to be in town!
Officer Micheals: (wolf-whistling) You know what the answer to that is!
The two policemen continue on their way, unaware that something was going down on a Tuesday night. The sound of screaming and gunfire can be heard just out of sight. Landis and Micheals hear the sounds and their blood runs cold.
Officer Micheals: Shit man! Did you hear that?
Officer Landis: Yeah! Sounds like someone's being murdered! Come on! Follow me!
Officer Micheals: Are you crazy man? It sounds like machine gun fire! We'll be killed!
Officer Landis: We're police officers! It's our duty!
Officer Micheals: Hey man, all that protect and serve stuff ain't really true! I never said that I would die trying to save some homeless person or street prostitute!
Officer Landis: Doesn't matter! We took an oath to serve the law, and I'm going to hold that oath, even if you aren't!"
Officer Micheals: If you want to get yourself killed go ahead! But I've got too much to live for to risk my life over a mugging!"
Officer Micheals runs away, while Officer Landis charges into the alleyway where the screams came from. Micheals throws away his badge and loses his hat while running. The sound of gunfire grows louder as Landis fires back.
Officer Landis: Stop in the name of the law!

An assignment I did for my creative writing class this past semester. We had to write a two-page play in which two characters start out very similar to each other and end up very different from each other at the end. I chose two cops who start out as being stereotypical cops, but in the end, one of them is a good cop and the other isn't.
