The corrupt cops's mercy

Last Sunday, there again happened a reunion with the traffic police.. this is time it was for traffic signal violation.
Cant justify my violation, hours back i was in the beach with my friends having some wonderful , i got off the bike and didn utter a word. parked the machine and took out my papers and my licence, among three cops, one looked like a typical Indian police man, with a bot belly and a thick mustache and an old pair of uniform. I expected the atmosphere to be tense, but to my surprise I was calm and composed. I wondered why am I so calm, then realised that I should have got used with the encounters that I had with those genre of men.
One guy cared to call me to show my papers, as he checked i tried to guess what could be next possible moves, none, i zeroed in. There was an ATM centre near by the place where I stood along the cop who had himself poised in a chair.
The security guy gave a stare, and i grinned. The officer started to browse my papers. Without raising his head he said,"Do you know how much is the fine for traffic signal violation, 1000 bucks", all i could do was to shake my head to sign "oh, is it?"
Just then i heard a voice from the back,"Pay 100 and move from here", that sound good, i turned and saw another cop walking away.
I checked my pocket, gorgeously empty, my wallet had hidden 10 bucks, which i managed to see the next day, nearby an ATM centre, where I couldn draw cash since I don't hold a card.
I said, Mr.Sir, i don't have any money, I have to go home to get the money"
Then followed a stare that said nothing, "the key" said the man, and I gave him, he mounted the bike to push off to the police station, and I managed to tell him, "Sir, no money to even go home and bring you money"
Pity my situation, all the while a simple prayer with faith was going up to get the mercy from these corrupt officials, and by the grace of God I did get the permit to go..
That day was over..
The next day began with fresh new sun rise...
