But she knows what she's doing: There's no sag on her anywhere and when she dresses up she can shave eight or ten years off her age of 35. We didn't often speak (you just have to assume a SWAT cop will be the jealous type), but she always waved cheerfully whenever she saw me. Carol was one of the captains of the High Hats, which is the local high school's pep squad. They wear cowboy hats and boots, and short skirts with fringe, and they specialize in a chorus-line high-kick. Carol certainly looks the part. She had, I believe, one year of business courses at the junior college and then married SWAT. And they had one kid, a daughter named Stephanie, now almost sixteen and a sophomore at the same high school. |
