Faulty Handcuffs

Megan’s heart skipped a beat as the police car pulled up a few yards in front of her. She continued her walk glancing at it nervously. He heart skipped a beat as the officer stepped out but when she recognised him her feelings suddenly changed to that of acute embarrassment. “Everything okay after the weekend?” he asked her as he walked around the car to the kerbside.

“Y….y…yes its fine” she responded with her face flushed.

“It’s okay,” he told her, “Nothing to get embarrassed about.”

“Can’t have many call-outs like that one though?” She responded with a nervous smile.

He returned her smile. “You would be surprised at some of the things we get called out for!” He responded.

She felt a little more relaxed now but people were looking at her as she stood talking him. She could imagine the sort of things running through their minds. The officer though was doing his best to dispel their suspicions as he relaxed leaning against his vehicle while talking to her and displaying an air of informality.

“Better getting a call-out for a pair of faulty handcuffs than a serious accident or something far worse!” He told her.

The whole thing had been so embarrassing. Denny, her husband had bought some handcuffs as part of her thirtieth birthday treat so that they could try out a bondage fantasy but the key didn’t fit. The trouble was that they were already attached to Megan’s wrists before they discovered it. Her hands were firmly secured behind her back and they couldn’t get her free. He tried to snap through the metal with pliers but to no avail. They were left with no option but to call out the emergency services and a police patrol car close by answered the call and came to their aid. She felt a fool standing there with her hands cuffed behind her back. The officer though had been very understanding about it all and within minutes he had freed her.

“There’s no need to be embarrassed about it,” he said to her again. “Lots of people indulge.”

“I suppose they do.” She responded, still unable to look him fully in the eye.

“Obviously you haven’t been doing it very long!”

She shook her head, “First time!” She added.

He smiled. “Sod’s Law hey!”
