I waited till we were back at the Embassy to confront Joan and I did it with Rodney in the room. "Call you little partner in crime in," I said to Joan.
"What are you talking about?" she asked.
"I'm talking about your little bitch Reggie. The one you sent to set me up, so that I wouldn't tell Swamp Dog about you and Rodney. Get her ass in here so she hears this as well." I said angrily. Angry hell I was ready to explode and someone was gonna to die, if I did."
Joan wen to the second bedroom of her suite. She opened the door and said, "Reggie stop cowering and come on out."
It took Reggie a couple of minutes to make it into the room. She was shaking.
"Now we are going to get a few things straight. Your biggest mistake was sending this child Reggie to set me up. Your second mistake was talking out of school. You should have waited until I actually violated Swamp Dogs rules.
The third mistake was trying to put me in a compromising position with TJ Soda. That's when I realized you were trying to get me to violate Swamp Dog rules. See Joan I was off duty with Reggie no harm no foul, but Soda admitted you told him how you thought you could compromise me. I wasn't on Swamp Dogs dime with Reggie but I would have been with Soda. I realize you can make the same argument for Rodney that you two weren't compromising his relation with Swamp Dog, but we aren't talking about Rodney now.
The other difference is Reggie has no control over me. She has no power to control what I do or don't do. In theory you do. You wanted your affair kept quiet so you planned to blackmail me."
I looked hard at Reggie. "You have no control over me at all, and you never will have. You will stay the fuck away from me, now and forever more amen."
"Now as for you Joan, You run the logistics of this tour, and I will run the security detail from now on. There won't be any sharing of responsibility or planning with Reggie. He is to do as he is told period." I said.
"Or what?" Joan asked
"Or I will expose you to my bosses at Swamp Dog. Now before you say they won't care, they will not want their company's reputation compromised that's their rice bowl. Especially no just because you want to get off.
They in turn will call your bosses and tell them we are pulling out protections service, because you can't keep your hand off the help. Your bosses are also in line for a lawsuit for sexual harassment from me. Pretty little Reggie will not stand up to cross examination on the stand in a harassment suit.
I have been down the trail once with Warren County, so I know what I can do. Now you might be a fighter, but I assure you I will burn all of your asses. Even your pretty boy Rodney is going down. I won't want to do it, but I will."
I addressed Rodney next. "You see Rodney, you knew what she was doing. So it will be your ass on the stand answering, what you knew and when you knew it. Now do we understand each other people?" I asked staring Joan down.
Joan looked around to the others who would not meed her eyes. "I guess you have us dead to rights. We will go along for now, but you better watch you back," Joan said.
"You never threaten the woman with the power bitch," I said pulling the digital recorder with my traveling music on it out of the pocket of my lightweight parka. The recorder had a very sensitive built in microphone and a one button record feature. I played the accusations and her compliance with my demands. Then the player moved into my traveling music. "I never go anywhere without it."
"Now as far as I'm concerned nothing happened here tonight. We go right back to where we were except I am in control of security period. You keep you little agent away from me," I said.
I calmly walked from Joan's suite to my own. There I sat down and shook for ten minutes. Then I stood up, found the bottle of cheap bourbon and poured a stiff drink. I pulled up a porno story on the web and masturbated so that I could sleep. I had extra med from the time I broke my hand but I didn't use them.
Just before falling asleep I realized I had bandaged my hand all day. I also realized that it didn't hurt too badly. When I woke up Saturday morning, I realized sleeping without the bandage had been a mistake. My hand was throbbing, so I carefully wrapped it. I gingerly put on the running suit and the parka. The parka wasn't to cover my gun. It was to keep out the slight chill in the air. For the next hour I ran and I tried not to think about the mess Reggie had created for me. She found my weakness and that was not a good thing at all. I had to allow myself to do the things I did, but it was almost impossible to resist the urge. I was afraid they might find a way to use it against me again.
I finished the run and put the chain on the door when I got back. The first thing I did was make sure my pistols were where I had left them. Since they were I stripped off the damp running suit and took a shower. Since the show wasn't till evening we didn't check out of the Embassy. It would be the next morning before we left for out next gig. I had begun to think like them and I didn't particularly like it.
The running suit I laid out on the bed to dry before I took my shower. I wore a thicker red tee shirt with a Henley collar and black cargo pants. I carried the .38 in my lightweight canvas holster with the safety strap made of Velcro in one of the deep pockets, and I wore the Glock in the inside the waist band holster as I left for breakfast. It was more to know where they were than because I was worried about an attack from Joan and her crowd.
"Why can't you be sociable," the belligerent drunk asked. "Just go away and leave me alone," the young woman replied. He put his hands on her, which was the step over the line as far as I was concerned. I walked up and showed him my badge. "You need to go on home. You can either leave here now and come back, or you can wait for the manager to ask you to leave in which case you won't be welcome again." I tried to be calm and reasonable. "Bullshit, I ain't going nowhere," he...
Life fell into a boring routine quickly. It had been a bore since the first month and it stayed that way for eight months. It was out of the blue. when something really exciting happened. It was sad, but that didn't change the fact that it brought excitement to the Sheriff's department. Some hikers found a child's body wrapped in a tarp. Since she was wrapped in a tarp everyone jumped right to murder as a cause of death. It took the Medical Examiner three hours to rule that it was indeed...
I glanced up as the commander stepped into the room and everyone quieted. He looked at me, “Morpheus, take Swift, Taylor, Samson, Adams and Michaels. They had a prison escape on Devlin.” I nodded and stood, “How many?” He shook his head, “Nine.” I grabbed my bag and started towards the lifts. The other marshals followed me as I dropped to dispersing. We had a four hour wait in the starport before boarding a shuttle up to the cargo transport that was headed to Devlin. There were only a few...
The state cable news network called me at the motel but on my cell phone. It wasn't the man from the crash, it was a chick who claimed to be his producer. It looked to me as though they were trying to be a real news agency. "Hi there, you are Deputy Sylvia Porter?" she asked. "I am. Who might you be?" I asked. That's when I found out about the producer thing, "So what can I do for you Miss Producer." I didn't even bother to file her name into my short term memory. I didn't expect...
The Johnson/Goodall family had been in Sacramento for just over three weeks and they were already on their way to becoming "rich." Eddy had collected $56.25 in wages as a deputy marshal and their company had collected $300 for delivering heavy freight more quickly than the customer had expected. Eddy had already been contacted by potential customers for other jobs which they were now ready to handle. Over the next week, Jeb and Josh earned $53 for moving a load across town in two trips and...
The state had pulled my certification. Without it I was unemployable, even as a game warden. That really hurt, not that I really wanted to back to being a rabbit police person. Even if I found a small town police force that wanted me, they could hire me without that certification. I could bring an action against the state but if the damage to my hand proved to be long term, I would lose. I doubted that any court anywhere would force them to do any more than make a monetary settlement with...
"I looked, but I couldn't find the interview with her lawyer anywhere," I admitted. "She says we offered to forget her attempted escape, if she had sex with us." Simpson said. "It's not believable that we conspired to have sex with her," I said. "I wouldn't worry about it. I'm going to tell the truth which should remove any suspicion of criminal activity. I hadn't planned to mention the escape attempt at all, but appears I'm going to have to do it." "Yeah, I agree. Just try...
The room was warm and it really felt good. I had been standing out in the cold wearing just my running suit and the light parka for well over two hours. I made short work of stripping off the running suit and hanging it on racks to dry. After that little domestic chore, it was on to the hot shower. I also washed my new peach fuzz of course. I was dressed in a clean uniform and in the office well before nine. I didn't think that was too bad, since I had been waylaid for quite some time. "So...
The well dressed business man walked into Hardee's just as I sat down to review my tape from the night before. More importantly to me was the last three hours. I was occupied so even though I noticed him walk in the place, I didn't keep track of him. When he sat down at the table I paid a lot more attention to him. "So are you Randal Davis king maker or one of his flunkies?" I asked. "You know, if I wasn't Randal you really would have pissed me off with the flunky comment," he...
Eddy went back to the jail and made sure that the prisoners were properly taken care of. There was a problem of crowding, but none of the other prisoners were willing to be in the same cell as the Chinese giant. Finally, everybody was sorted out and the handcuffs were removed. Eddy sent the temporary deputies home with his thanks and the request that they all come back at 1:00 PM tomorrow. He had something important to discuss with them, but he needed to get to Bill's parents' house before...
My last night on swing shift was a bust. Even so I slept till noon the next day. When I awoke I took a shower, then dressed in my jeans and one of my forest green tee shirt. I wore one of the several men's white dress shirts over it. I also clipped the off duty holster onto my belt before I slipped on the medium weight parka type field jacket. Being a military police person would have allowed me to steal all the uniforms I wanted, but I bought mine from the surplus store just outside the...
I looked up as the commander walked out of his office. Amanda shifted to follow my look, “Something up?” The commander headed towards us and I nodded, “I think we just got picked for something.” He stopped in front of my desk and tossed a data stick, “Grab your things. A prisoner died in custody on Gable. They need a officer to head the investigation.” I glanced at Amanda, “Our custody or the constables?” He turned away, “The constables.” I stood and Dragon leaped from her perch while...
It was late Sunday evening and I had used the time that day to get over my various pains. It had been an interesting experience and now I that I had rested, I was a little less terrified. I was however still very concerned. I knew that I would have just to wait to see. The waiting would be hard but at least it wouldn't be forever. The shelf life of an amateur sex video was very short. They would likely post it only on one site if at all. It just wasn't likely to be seen by anyone who...
Spring had come to the mountain, and it was glorious. I have survived the last two months without being involved in any of Mary Ellen's projects. I did pay off the Monk for saving my life, otherwise I had been celibate. How did I do it you asked. Well everybody showed me a lot of love at work and the community seemed to appreciate all that I had done. I guess I didn't need the love of a strange man to justify my existence at that particular time in my life. I was reporting for the new SOU...
From my vantage point behind the low line of brush I watched the approaching vehicle. It was moving along pretty good and I flipped the switch on the remote in my lap, activating the radar gun mounted on my dash. It was a high tech unit, one of the latest on the market, and it automatically recorded the highest speed of the oncoming car. Good thing too, as the driver obviously was in possession of a "fuzz buster" since the nose of the car came down as the driver hit the brakes hard. I...
Even without the splint, the flimsy donut box would have been a difficult item for me to carry. With the splint, I had to use it as a resting place and hold the box in place with my good hand. Yes it sounds painful because it was. Still it would be short lived as I parked right outside the door to the courthouse basement. That basement was used by the Sheriff's office. The way over weight receptionist took the donuts and made a big fuss over me. "Sylvia what in the world happened to your...
Yeah I felt like a dumb ass while I waited the hours in a cold house for the emergency delivery of propane. I could have brought the small commercial cooking burner in the house to get some heat, but I chose to heat the small box in front with a ceramic electric heater. It didn't get warm but if I sat right in front of it, I didn't freeze either. The delivery man came after lunch, but that was okay. I couldn't be pissed at him for my stupidity. He left me with a bill for $376.00 it was...
"What's going on?" I asked Deputy Letter. "They raided Edward James Allen's house. There was no one there but it appears there had been a struggle. The SBI lab guys took lots of samples. They are going to be checking for DNA matches." Letter said. "So what are they thinking," I asked. I almost hated to hear it. "From the neighbors they heard that the husband and wife fight all the time. They have been expecting something violent anytime now," Letter informed me. "What I don't...
By the time I got to my room it was 5AM. Some of the state highway workers, who stayed at the Motel, had already begun to stir. If I had gotten into my room an hour earlier, I would have likely just fallen into bed and passed out. Since people were moving around, I knew that if I didn't run, I would lay awake filled with guilt. I refused to clean up though. That being the case, I dressed in my tight fleece running pants, and my tight long sleeve fleece knit shirt. After that I wrapped my...
I looked up from the stack of reports I was going through and marshal Edwards grinned. He was a short stocky man with grey hair and a wicked sense of humor. I glanced at Dragon as she looked up expectantly and sighed as he slipped her a small piece of sweet meat, “What now?” He laughed, “The boss wants you.” I looked at him closely and then stood, “Dragon guard my desk.” Edwards shook his head in mock sadness as I headed towards the commander’s office. A few of the others looked up but...
There were three consolidated schools in Warren County. Jennifer Austin had attended elementary school at Southeastern Warren. The principal greeted us with, "It is just awful about Jennifer. Do you have whoever did it in custody?" "To be honest, we are still investigating. That's why we would like to speak with Jennifer's teacher. I did call yesterday to set up the appointment," Simpson said. The tone of his voice was almost friendly, at least for him it was. There was just a hint of...
I wore the cap from the parking lot of the plaza. I would have worn it out of the store, but that would have looked a little odd. Like walking across the parking lot in a deputy's uniform with a thug's knit cap. I couldn't fit my current baseball cap I had over the knit cap. Since I couldn't wear both, I carried the knit cap in my hand. My first stop was to head back to the station for a larger baseball type hat. I figured with the shaved head and all, the Chief Deputy would be thrilled...
I wondered all the way home, if that had been what one would consider my first date since becoming a Deputy Sheriff. The thought of that made me laugh, I got home and checked to see if anything had happened on my computer. Nothing had, so I slipped into bed, I slept till 7AM the next morning. Though technically it was a work day, I saw it as the last of my break, since I started the midnight shift rotation. I hated midnight shifts and so did ever one else. I was working the patrol division...
The time seemed to be going by faster than before. I still hated the time I ran, every damn second of the thirty minutes. All I could hope for was that it passed quickly and it did. I looked for something to occupy my mind and it come lately in the form of the party at Gypsy Allen's house. The question was also in my mind was what in the world did they do there. What had gotten the 7year old killed was of course the big question. Of course there was alway the who dun it. By the time I made...
By the time that the SBI lab boys got through with the scene, it was past midnight. I was on overtime, but I didn't mind. I was enjoying the prospect of hitting the meth lab. "So do you want to volunteer to stay over and go on the strike team. We need to get in there before the word get out that we are on the way." Michaels said. "You know I want to see it through to the end. I want to see what a working meth lab looks like. I only seen them on TV." I said. "It doesn't look like...
The ten days passed slowly but they did pass. I went back on light duty, It wasn't all I hoped it would be. but I was back at work. It sure beat soap operas on TV. The first morning I went in on the day shift, even though my squad was on midnights, I was not allowed in a car as long as my clearance was only light duty. I expected to be filing reports and answering the telephone. Which is exactly what I did. "So how you like it on a desk," Simpson asked me early on my first day...
I drove home at five in the morning, more than a little upset by Learners comments. No I didn't have a lot of forgiveness in my heart. That was the church's Job or maybe even the ADA's job, Cops were supposed to pick up the bad guys. Somebody else had the job of deciding their fate. If he got me bounced from the unit because of this I was going to be pissed. I fell into bed without even taking a shower first. I was tired and my ribs hurt slightly. It was a minor pain, but it was always...
Learner and I staked out a construction site the first night back. Sure as hell a couple of idiots tried to steal pipe from the site. I let the truck get inside the site where it was nice and bottled up, before I slipped the grandmother car into the neck of the bottle. If they planned to bring their truck out of the site they had to drive up and surrender. Just to be safe Learner walked in and confronted them. They jumped in the truck and tried to make a run for it. I stopped them at the...
"Jeb, do either you or Josh know how to handle a shotgun?" "No, neither one of us ever fired any sort of gun." "OK, we'd better get you fixed up with some, then. Let's find a gun shop and see what we can do. You're going cross country with that there mining equipment, so you'll need some way to protect the oxen. Back on the train, we weren't bothered by wolves and such, but you might be, being that you'll be a lone wagon." "Josh, tell your sister that we'll be gone for a...
Eddy had one point on his side: the first time he fired his shotgun, people would come running. He just had to hope that they would get there soon enough to do him some good. He figured that he was hidden well enough in the dim light that the thugs would have a hard time spotting him. Eddy had a problem that he didn't see any way around: he couldn't shoot just because he didn't like their looks. They had to make the first move. Maybe they would try something illegal so he could shoot,...
Tod had stopped to drop the Kelly's off at their house, and Rick, as was expected, got out, too. What WASN'T expected was when Billy, Cathy, Robbi, and Bruce got out. Abe and Gail were visiting with Jerry and Mary for the night. It was a nice evening, and the men were going to, at least, keep Pete company while he milked, and Robbi and Cathy wanted to watch for a bit, and talk to Doris and Sue. It always seemed that they had something they wanted to talk about. They all went in and discovered...
Back on dry land, the group found that I had laid out four towels on the sand over near the fire pit. I was aware of the schedule of events and was doing my assigned tasks. Jess and Amelia both dropped down onto towels. Andre and Paul sat down on either side of Amelia; Jess had to pull the other two boys down next to her by their hands. All of the guys had shrunken as a result of the cold water (no sympathy here), so Amelia wrapped her hands around the guys’ cocks and started pumping. Andre...
Michael Warner was the first person to greet his daughter when she entered the room. He saw the look of trepidation beneath her façade of excitement and hugged her tightly. “You look lovely,” he whispered. “I can’t begin to tell you how proud I am of you.” The stories of Hailey’s prep school escapades had caught her father off guard. He had seen the photos of her traipsing around in a bikini that resembled a handkerchief and had seen story after story on the television and in the newspaper...
For a moment, Sandra wasn't sure where she was. Something had woken her up, but she wasn't sure what, and then the doorbell went off again. She started to smile and jumped off of the sofa and walked straight to the door. She opened it and saw Frederik standing there. At first, he smiled at her, until he noticed what she was wearing. He looked her up and down. "Wow!" "Really? This gets me a 'Wow!'?" Sandra asked teasingly. "Even after seeing me naked for a whole week, being dressed...
December 27, 2017 Dear Ms. Diary, [Written December 28] Rhee, Heather, and I were lounging in the Monstrosity after we woke when Gracey came downstairs. “Come on. Join us for a shower. We don’t have an even number.” Rhee and I donned shower caps, then joined the duos of Dad and Gracey and Liya and Heather. The two of us were in the final stages and were facing Gracey and Dad when they finished up. “Wait, Dad. I want to wash something.” Gracey lathered her hands extensively, then began...
~~Jack~~ He’d been tempted to ask Clara to join him. She was scared of him now, he knew that, and it hurt to all fuck every time he glanced at her. The curse was done with its rampage, but it’d been an asshole in that time, and had left an impression on everyone who’d gone on the mission with him. Damien, he knew wouldn’t let it stop him from being his friend. They’d been through too much together. The others, on the other hand, he wasn’t so sure about. So hanging out with Fiona and Damien...
I picked her up, grabbing her by her butt cheeks and we kissed for a while. My dick was back near her entrance and she was actually trying to reconnect, but I put her down and turned off the water. We each had a towel, and we watched each other drying off. Her smile was all aglow. No doubt Joan had told everyone in the house what had likely happened. She gave me a kiss and wrapped the towel around her lithe frame and went to her room. I put her clothes in my hamper then changed into sweats...
Dear Willow and family, First I want to thank you for letting your concubine Brianna write to our beautiful Lily. She has revealed things to Brianna that she had not told anyone here. I don't know why, though I'm working with the Civil Service Officers here at Atlantis-At to find out if there are any people who were practicing family therapists who could be induced to help her. And I suppose also help us. I don't know if it is writing to Brianna or Will's disappearance, but something...
There were two nuns... One of them was known as Sister Mathematical (SM), and the other one was known as Sister Logical (SL). It is getting dark and they are still far away from the convent. SM: Have you noticed that a man has been following us for the past thirty-eight and a half minutes? I wonder what he wants. SL: It's logical. He wants to rape us. SM: Oh, no! At this rate he will reach us in 15 minutes at the most! What can we do? SL: The only logical thing to do of course is to...
Edward and Renee McKenzie had put their belongings into their rooms and returned downstairs without seeing any of their granddaughters. Regan's door was closed but she hadn't answered when her grandfather had knocked. Ashlyn and Tori could were in their rooms but Edward really wasn't interested in talking to them. Rita and Robert had been entertaining the Rileys when the McKenzies arrived so the pair headed upstairs after a short greeting. "Where is Regan?" Edward asked when he joined...
Phillip and Dessie Albright (Selina's parents) returning from skiing, were invited into Helen's school while class was in session. "We would like to talk with you in private, if we may," Phillip said. Later, when their conference was over, Helen smiled at them, "Our new classrooms were completed yesterday, but we're going to wait until the weekend to begin moving everything. Would you like to see them, now that they are completed?" Phillip and Dessie exchanged glances, then he...
Adam was asleep well before the successful reopening of the Cassie Charms and Rita Looker web sites. At least he assumed it was successful. No one woke him up to tell him otherwise. It was strange for him to go to sleep alone but he managed. He was surrounded by naked and near naked females when he awoke and he vaguely remembered their arrival in the middle of the night. All the females had the same reaction when Allie dropped two copies of Peaches Magazine's Summer Edition on the coffee...
Her heart racing in panic, Laura drove to Trina's apartment. She tried to talk herself back into reasonableness. She won't know this happened, she told herself. There's no way she can know. You're panicking about nothing. Just tell her you had to work a little late. But don't act nervous, or guilty. That's what might raise her suspicions. Anyway, she knows I love her. I wouldn't do anything to hurt her. I can't help it if Sholandra is... irresistible. I can't help it that I'm such...
Heather Sanford's phone was ringing, ringing, ringing. She was in a deep sleep, and at first she thought she was dreaming. She'd missed a lot of sleep in the last few days, and was out like a light bulb. Finally, she realized that it really was the phone. She had to clamber over John's sleeping body to reach it; her weight pressing on top of him woke him a little, and he groaned. Finally, she made it to the phone. "Yes?" she answered, looking at the clock. 2:10 AM! Who could be calling...
Tír na nÓg was a madhouse, or rather Keldravan was. The attack by Oonagh’s forces had come as a complete surprise to an area that should have been as secure as anywhere possible. Yet the Sidhe could not detect how they did this, hence the invitation to Morgana. “Heinrich wards,” I murmured to Morgana as we were briefed on the attack which had failed to get to Verenestra, but only just. “You may well be right, John,” Morgana agreed. “Oonagh would have had dealings with Heinrich and may...
Thank Al: A VERY GOOD EXAMPLE OF THE KIND OF REPRESENTATION WE HAVE IN THE U.S.A. CONGRESS, TRUE STORY: A noted psychiatrist was a guest speaker at an academic function where Nancy Pelosi happened to appear. Ms Pelosi took the opportunity to schmooze the good doctor a bit and asked him a question with which he was most at ease. ‘Would you mind telling me, Doctor,’ she asked, ‘how you detect a mental deficiency in somebody who appears completely normal?’ ‘Nothing is easier,’ he replied....
I went back to pedaling my trike. I pedaled a while then let the motor pull me a while. when I was rested I pedaled again. It took me another fifteen minutes to reach home. I stored the trike in the shed and plugged the charger in to get the batteries ready for the next day. I went to my part of the barge house to retrieve some cut off baggy pants with lots of pockets. I took a black tee shirt with a silkscreen drawing in red for the clear plastic box I used for storage. The drawing on the...
I slept most of the flight; there was little turbulence and good sleeping. The gear touched the runway at 0730. There was already a crowd at Morton. I wondered why? I sent the Secret Service and Abra to go find out while I waited in the plane. My mates and the two little boys came out. They were waiting on the news conference the CIA was going to give. ‘‘Mommy, is this BJ’s new plane?’’ JJ asked. ‘‘I think it might be one of them,’’ Jenny answered. ‘‘When can we go fly on it?” RJ...
“Change happens very slow and very sudden.” —Dorothy Bryant, The Kin of Ata Are Waiting for You 15 AUGUST 2020 It seemed so incredibly normal to just go out on a date last night with Rachel and Livy. Desi’s dad picked her up right after school to head back to Kentucky for the fair. I don’t know if she’ll make any of the rest of them except when we all go down for Labor Day weekend. That’s when the show closes. Something just seems wrong about being in school for three and a half...
I was awakened by the sun shining on my face. I took a deep breath through my nose for the first time in days. I smelled the smell of Jill. I felt the feel of her, too; the warmth of her body, her breasts up against my back and her mound pushing into my butt. Her left arm was draped over my side, her fingers barely touching the mattress in front of me. I took her hand in mine and pulled it into my chest. She moved a bit, settled into my butt a little closer and moaned contentedly. I felt...
Much to my chagrin, Ryan and Jill were prepared to depart San Diego – and Liz’s assessment of the airplane was entirely correct. It was almost two in the morning by the time we got back to Nashville. A storm in the flyover states forced us to divert northward until we wound up on almost the exact path we would have taken if we had been stopping in Cleveland for our parents. My Friday morning began way too early for my tastes. We had scheduled a therapy session when we thought we’d be...
Flashback – Masha – The mission As we were driving to the bar, the neighborhood changed to what I can only imagined would be called a ghetto. I could not believe that Louise went to this bar in this neighborhood. We arrived at the bar where the driver asked again, “Miss, are you sure you want to stop here?” I knew that I had to stop the animal so I replied, “Yes I do. How much do I owe you?” The driver said, “Twenty dollars.” I was slightly shocked at the cost, but this was America and...
So I mashed in the Colonel's run. I put in 15pounds of corn and all the stalks I had left after I ground them. Then I added the yeast and let it begin to work off. For two weeks I made myself seen around town. I talked to a few people I knew and who could help me, if I decided to run for Sheriff if couldn't hurt to have their advice. The advice was all the same, try to turn your negatives into positives, admit to everything, and make a joke of it. The Colonel Martin Mash was working and it...
We went back inside to finish our breakfast. An older man came by to leave his card on our table. "You never know," he said smiling." "Bob you are a defense lawyer, now why in the world would I need you," I asked. "You never know when the Sheriff will get a hair up his ass toward you," He said. "Well Bob, if the Sheriff gets a hard on for me, I'll give you a call." I replied. "I might make you a special price, you never know," the older man said. "Fair enough I laughed," as...
It was late and I still had several reports to review and four requests to decide on. I glanced at the door when a dragon flew in and landed on a chair back. I sat back and then grinned, “It has been a long time Samantha.” The dragon chirped and was answered by her mother on her nest. I looked at the door as an older Cambra walked through it and she grinned, “Hey kid moving up.” I came to my feet and moved around the desk and caught her in a hug. I stepped back, “Where have you been?” She...
I went home and worried. I had no way to tell who knew what, so all I could do was act like everything was normal. If I were a Los Vegas Odds maker, I would make it about 3 to 1 in my favor. I wasn't trying to be optimistic there were just so many thing that had to go wrong to get me busted. I had the Boyle brother's phone number and I could call, but I swore I would never contact them again. So I would have to wait till tomorrow at work, when I could pin those in the raid down.
