The Ming Poodle: Chapter LV

Ben Hansen

Ben grimaced as yet another car ignored his outstretched thumb and sped past, splashing him with mud.
"Why do you think they won't pick us up?" he asked Tom.
"Well it could be that we're both wearing trenchcoats."
"So what?"
"So, trenchcoats are a stereotypical part of the sex offender's wardrobe."
"How do you know that?"
Tom had the decency to look embarrassed for a moment. Then he unfortunately started talking again.
"It could be that you've taken me prisoner."
"No way. Since when did motorists dislike seeing a man tied up and another with a gun?"
