Searched

Erin leaned her head against the car window as it sped down the highway. Other cars passed in the opposite direction as Jess's beat up Ford rumbled past.
"Cheer up, Erin," he said taking a quick glance in the rear view mirror before returning his eyes to the road. "I know you're upset," Jess continued, "But he'll be fine. Mr. Monroe's tough. He'll push through," Jess honked the car horn as a navy blue pick up truck sped past.
"Thanks Jess," Erin said, half smiling as she continued to look out the window. Her reflection was shown in the glare from the sun.
"What the-" Jess started. A police car was parked farther up the highway and was stopping every car that passed, looking in the window, and waving it on. A person a few cars behind Jess's screamed out the window, his complaint echoing off the nearby hills. The police man either didn't hear the man, or ignored him, because he kept his one-minute process going. Stop, look, wave. Stop, look, wave. The car in front of Jess's was sent on as Jess pulled up parallel to the police car. The police officer knocked on the driver's window and Jess rolled it down. The officer had a dark mustache that completely covered his mouth. His eyes were covered by dark sunglasses that provided contrast to his badged, blue uniform. He bent over and peered into the car.
"Is there a problem officer?" Jess asked looking around the car, trying to see if some hostage had magically appeared in the back seat or something. The police man didn't answer, but continued his search. He looked around for a bit more before pulling his head out of the car.
"Yer' good," he said with a swipe of his hand, indicating Jess to continue moving. Jess moved the car forward, and soon they were speeding down the highway once more. Erin turned around in her seat and peered out the back window. The police man was performing the same search on the car that had been behind Jess's.'Strange,' she thought. Erin had no idea that she would encounter that same man again. If she and Jess had known, they would've just sped past the police man, trying to push him out of their minds, not wanting to think about what would have happened if they had stopped. But neither Erin or Jess had known about this. They'd stopped.
