I got the call after I had showered and changed. Melody wasn't in a big hurry to start her new life after all it seemed. It took her all morning to make the three hour drive. Wilson and I usually went the sandwich made at home or bowl of cereal for lunch. Since Melody was running so late, I invited Wilson to join with us for lunch. He also should have some input into her status. Not that I would listen, but it would make him feel better.
Melody's hair was colored red like a barn. In my opinion it was not attractive. When I had known her in County Seat she had been barely eighteen years old. Mary Ellen was not real good about checking their ID's, before she took girls into her home. That being the case, I considered Melody to be in her mid twenties. On first meeting she seemed more mature for sure.
"Well hello there Melody. How are you doing hon?" I asked.
"Not real good to be honest Sylvia," she said.
She was about to go on and explain in front of Wilson, when I stopped her. I understood immediately why Martin sent her to me. "I'm sorry to hear that hon. But save it till we are alone." I said nodding to Wilson. "This is my partner in the investigating service. Sam Wilson. I call him Wilson."
"Hello Melody nice to meet you," Wilson said.
"Thank you, they call me Mel," she said. "And I'm sorry Sylvia I know better."
"Good," I said making sure she understood I considered it a major fuck up to speak out of school. "So let's go to lunch. You call tell me all about your plans for the future."
MrBJ's closed after lunch, but we had time to make it there for burgers. Actually Melody opted for a salad. I almost puked, grass clipping were not a real lunch in my opinion. The BLT had the most shit, that grows in the ground, I was willing to go with. Wilson had the big BJ burger. In other words Wilson and I were not trying to stretch our lives by eating garden trimmings.
"So Mel, do you have any solid plans?" I asked.
"No, I had to get away. So I thought I would come here to start over. At least here I know someone," she said picking her words carefully.
"Okay hon, I'm going to be blunt. How are you fixed for money?" I asked.
She looked at Wilson when she said, "On my last job I didn't have many living expenses, so I save a lot of money. I have about five thousand dollars in the bank."
That might sound like a lot to her, but I knew it would be gone in a couple of months. If she had to live on the local tourist economy. She was going to need help getting settled. Since I knew her from County Seat and the Swamp, it was in my best interest to help her. "Well Mel, we don't have enough room for a real guest room, but I can arrange a temporary space in my bedroom. So you can come stay with me, till you figure out something for yourself."
"I would like that," she said. "And Sylvia, I am sorry for your loss."
"Thanks and I'm sorry about Andrew as will," I suggested. Wilson looked at the table to avoid my eyes. He knew better than to ask.
"Okay, let's go buy Mel a day bed," I suggested after lunch. We left her car in the parking lot after checking with the manager. It was close to his closing time, so he didn't mind.
We went to Ellisboro and bought a twin box springs and mattress set. They gave us the metal frame. What deal I thought. I spent about seven hundred on it but that was okay. We needed space for an over night visitor now and then. Moving the furniture out of my bedroom sitting area, and moving the bed onto the barge required some real effort. We were forced to pull the barge closer to the dock by letting more slack into the one tie down rope and tightening the on on the pier. We closed the barge's four feet gap that normally separated it from the dock.
After we got the sitting room furniture into the office and the bed on board we had to redo the gap. We ended with a sitting area in the office, which it needed anyway, and a guest bed in my bedroom.
"You might be living out of a suitcase for a while, but you will have a place to sleep," I said to Mel after we finished.
"It is almost as much as I had at the compound. At least here I won't have to walk across the parade ground to take a shower, or go to the bathroom in the middle of the night." she said. We were alone but I still needed to remind her.
"Mel, try not to mention the compound around Wilson. It would be better, if you didn't tell anyone about it," I said.
"How will I explain where I have been the last few years," she said.
"We can work on that later. Let's just get your stuff on board the barge for now." I really didn't like sharing my bedroom with Mel, but it was for the greater good, I told myself.
"The last of your tools will be here this week. So when you going back into the jewelry business," Wilson asked over dinner at a fancy place on Jefferson Island.
"About the same time the weather gets too bad to fly," I said.
"You fly?" Mel asked.
"I have a small plane I use for joy riding," I replied.
"Wow, can I go with you?" she asked.
"I'm sorry it is only built for one person," I said. I didn't mention the judge. If she wanted to see the canary maybe she would meet him. Probably not a good idea on second thought. Mel had never had to filter her thoughts, so it was going to take some getting used to for her. I'll tell you what I'll buzz the barge in the morning so you can see the plane. If you can get Wilson's ass out of bed, he can see it as well."
I drove into the yard of a small house that had trash scattered all around it. The gray Chevy SUV was in the drive. I looked to be sure that it was the one in the hit and run. I parked my Honda behind it, then hit speed dial to call Wilson. "Wilson, I'm not sure what county I'm in but figure it out and call the Sheriff. Tell him I'm sitting in the driveway of the guy involved in the hit an run thirty minutes ago and he might want to get a car over her before he leaves. Before the deputy...
As I knew they would, things got boring. I returned Letter to patrol as a sergeant. Mrs West turned up nothing on him. It took two weeks after we shut down the drug gang, before I got the call from Miami. "Well you said you would close us down in Warren County and you pretty much have." the voice said. "Well, we are a small county and I may have got the Heroine business, but I haven't touched the other. However I am still looking for them. If you want to be a friend someday, move your...
I fell into bed and asleep. The next morning I called Mrs. West before I showered even. "What's the word from the hospital?" I asked. "Two kids dead, but all the others will be fine in a few days," she said. "Lots of broken bones but none too serious, mostly emotional trauma." "Anything on the woman we arrested last night?" I asked. "How do they say it on TV. She has lawyered up, thanks to the public defender," Mrs West said. "That should really help her out," I said. "Are...
So I talked to the bitch from ABC new's affiliate in Capitol City. I gave her the official story with a few extra statements, like how I felt while it was happening thrown in. Then she asked, "Can you get me an interview with the two men who came from Swamp Dog?" "Not in a million years. You feel free to call them, I expect you can find the phone number." I replied. I got back to the office at 5PM. According to my arrangement with the patrol commander, I rode with one of his officers...
I decided to wait until I was less emotional before deciding what to do about Osborn. So the next morning I was at the sports field at 6 AM. I ran my hour and did about seven miles. I had stopped counting the laps and just ran an hour. I hated to fucking run. I always had hated it. It was seven thirty when I pulled into the gym and hit the bag for an hour. Since it was Sunday, I didn't have a real plan for the day. Reggie didn't say a word, he seemed to have something on his mind. He sat...
I awoke the next Morning with the smell of her all over me. I hated the thoughts of a shower, so even though I knew better I took Dog and went for a ride on my trike. He and I did about an hour on the thing. It was so hard to pedal up hills that it was as strenuous as running. Well it did give me a chance to rest during the downhill run. Dog couldn't but he had learned to run along beside and not to pull me. If he kept that up, we could do two hours, I thought. We stopped at Hardee's and I...
I went right from my office to the pub. I got there in time for a cup of coffee, and some down time before I had dinner. Dinner was also going to be from the pub. Nita agreed to cook me a grilled cheese sandwich. I have no idea why it wasn't on the menu, since she made the best one in the state. They started to drift in about eight. "Brit put all their drinks on my tab but make absolutely sure none of them drives home tonight." "Me and Jeremy will take them home. The SUV will hold seven...
"Damn that pisses me off," I said while he was still standing there attentive. "What that he is so smug," Eddie asked. "No that he thought I was a man," I replied. Eddie broke out laughing. "Well now that you mention it Sheriff," he said. "Careful I can't fire him, but I can you," I said. "You don't have a union." We were in a good mood while Wilson directed the search so that the people stayed out of his way. The lab had first priority while looking for evidence of a...
Osborn and I left the gym at 9pm. We both were absolutely exhausted. She followed me to the pub for dinner. Juanita had made a giant taco salad from which she dished a bowl of stuff for each of us. I had a dark beer and the salad, while Osborn had a bowl of the salad and a diet coke. "What's up with the diet coke?" I asked. "I'd like to have a body a little more like yours, than like mine," she said. "You have to be kidding. Didn't you see how those guys looked at you. They looked...
I placed a call back to the station. They had everything under control. Mostly they were processing evidence from all over the damn county. It was a big job, but they seemed to be on top of it. "Sheriff, we are going to need to process some of this, and pass it on to the SBI. The bust is going to be out of our jurisdiction. Should I make the call, or do you want to?" Eddie asked. "Let me look at the evidence before you send it off, then we can decide what goes where together. Now I got a...
Kara began talking, but I didn't believe a word she said. "Yeah I recognized the guy the girl in the picture left with, but believe me she didn't look like that. She looked like a hooker." "How did you recognize the guy," Eddie asked her. "We was one of my customers for a while, but he got tired of me and moved on." she said. "So what was his name," Eddie asked. "Man, I don't know," she said. I sat in the corner of the interview room. It was a big room. The lights were off...
I drove toward my home in County Seat thinking, I might have to go back to the SBI lab after all. It meant giving control of our cases to their investigators and taking a back seat to their people. I hated losing control of the cases. Damn it, if I could only get the Colonel interested in the Forensic services. He could surely come up with the facilities. Even if it meant a friendly take over of an existing private lab. I was still in the car when the phone rang. "Sheriff Porter this is...
It took two days to get Jamison back to County Seat. During that time I rode along with the swing and the midnight shift deputies. It was a bit of a learning experience. I would rather have been an undercover boss, but they knew me quite well by then. We had been through most of our first year together. I had ridden with both deputies several times. In doing so they talked to me like a cop not a boss. We told stories about our days working the roads in Warren County. We answered calls and...
It took me all day to move past my anger at the FBI. I beat the crap out of the heavy bag before I really felt better. It was two weeks later and I was already running, when Osborn showed up at the softball field. She sat on the bleachers until I was in sight, then started to run. "You didn't tell me you were coming to run," she informed me. "I didn't know I was going to run till I pulled into the parking lot. I think I'm running on autopilot in more way than the obvious one. Damn...
"Mrs. Novak, I have some very bad news for you. We found Tommy. It appears now that he had an accident in the woods. I'm so sorry but Tommy died in the woods. I don't know if this is any comfort at all, but I'm very sorry for you loss." She broke into wails of high pitched screams. It was a terrifying sound. I finally took hold her to try to calm her down. I let her cry it out. I knew I should let her grieve before I questioned her, but she would have to be one less vote I received next...
I gave some serious thought to pulling Randy Ralph over, jerking him out of the truck and beating the crap out of him. We were finding all kinds of crap he did wrong but I still couldn't pin the rapes on him. Instead I went back to the Railroad B&B for Wilson. "So what the fuck would he pick up at the docks and deliver to a taco truck?" I asked Wilson. "Maybe they are distributing drugs," was his answers. "If it was drugs they would never throw them over a fence and hope their...
"So Detective Thorn, you like your job?" I asked. "I sure do Sheriff," he said looking all serious and shit. "Well you need to be better at it. See I took a quick look at the crime stats." I said. "Yeah, most crime is down all over the board," he said all proud of himself. "Yeah and statewide most crime is up in almost every category. You know why crime goes down in one area like that?" I asked. "Because we are doing a better job, than those other places," he said. "I...
I called dispatch and told them to have the officer backup for Simpson to swing by the courthouse to pick me up. It took about twenty minutes for the chubby little blond twenty five or so year old to show up in my office. She was cute in the thirty pound overweight way. "Hi there, I'm Deputy Melissa Osborn. Dispatch said to report to you," she said. "Yes you and I are going on a little road trip," I said. "I'm going to Dobson and I need a ride. So you get to be my driver." "Of...
I woke up Sunday morning in the middle of the night to the sound of my phone. I searched through the pile of my clothes till I found it. "This better be good Simpson," I said. "Actually it's bad. There was a high school basketball game last night at the northern high school gym. There was an accident outside the gym as the crowd left." Simpson said. "How bad," I asked. "Car ran into the crowd. Six kids are in the hospital, one is in critical condition," he suggested. "I'll get...
I went home and went to sleep, but only after I punched the bag for half and hour. I felt guilty and planned to run the first thing the next morning, since I missed my run that night. When the sun came up I was at the softball field. I checked for cars. I almost didn't stop when I saw the Grey Honda. The woman inside saw me drive into the lot and got out to wait for me. Since she had gone to all the trouble of walking up in the middle of the night, I figured I owed it to her to run along...
"When I told my wife we why we hadn't Identified the girl. She asked, if I had found her wallet. No girl would be caught dead going out at night without at least a clutch bag. According to my wife. So I got to thinking, if she was killed here, then her bag might be somewhere around here. If so where was it? I checked all the other buildings and there it was. Well it was near some disturbed dust in this little building, but under an old desk. It was late at night and dark as the Sheriff's...
"You better start at the very beginning, so we can help you out of this mess," I suggested. "The first of this school year one of the cheerleaders said, 'The only way to be popular with he boys was to you know do things.'" Ellie said. "What things," I asked. "To sorta have sex with them," she said. "Not real sex, none of us wanted to be pregnant not even the guys wanted that to happen. So we did other things." "Like what kind of things," I asked. There might have been some...
The sound in the hallway surprised even me. Tommy Kilborn pointed the pistol at me and waited. His attention on the door. When the doorway filled with something out of a video game, I had the derringer in my hand. Kilborn jerked a little when the .22mag hit him, then his face exploded when the .45 caliber hollow point struck him. I sat down hard, ad Liam removed his helmet. "Andrew is out in the parking lot making nice with the local cops. Lucky one of your deputies knew I was on the way...
I went home and put all dog's toys in a box. I had spent a lot of money between the vet and improvements to my place for Dog, but you know I didn't feel bad or let down about it. I had save him and he was worth saving. Like me Dog just got re purposed. We was going to another place. They might ask him to risk his life, but he would be doing something worthwhile. I knew exactly how that felt and I had never been more alive then when I had it all hanging out there. So I missed Dog, but I...
It was close to midnight when I got back to the motel. Osborn still wasn't in. I had a message, but I hadn't seen her for any amount of time since we arrived in town. I decided that I would phone her and request her presence. I need her to do some background checks on the major players in our move. I didn't want to call in Swamp Dog, when she could do it just as well. Okay not just as well, but well enough. I called her cell. As usual there was no answer. I went to bed, even though I was...
Cathy and Essie sat for a long while on the porch, talking, laughing, and just enjoying the closeness they were feeling for each other. Cathy was surprised at herself. She had NEVER enjoyed kissing another woman like she did kissing Essie. She kissed the others without a thought, because she loved them all, and had enjoyed intimate relations with Robbi, and Annie, but THAT had been to get the guys hot, so they could get a good, hot screwing from them. Billy and Rick, especially, got SO turned...
Hailey waited outside the hotel for Randi Raver and Meredith Miller. Phil was going to spend the morning at the studio. He said he would probably spend the afternoon getting rip-roaring drunk. A black SUV with tinted windows pulled up outside of the hotel and Randi Raver hopped out wearing a huge smile. She wore a sundress, a straw hat and a pair of oversized sunglasses. “Come on in,” she said, gesturing to the rear of the SUV where she exited. Hailey saw a brunette woman driving and a...
Back on our way, ‘Kevvy’ took us to our destination,, ‘The King’s Court.’ It was a place I’d been before, with Jess, many times. It was the only strip-club in town. Despite our sexual openness, I was always uncomfortable at strip clubs and Jess knew it. I’m sure that’s why it was always her who insisted on going there. I can’t say exactly what bothers me about them; be it the bare vagina being bounced in my face in front of my wife (the King’s Court was full nudity), the fact that other...
We moved everything to the kitchen. The Angels put their outfits back on and Juicy adjusted all his straps. "Juicy, you're plugged, right?" I confirmed. "Yeah, Papa." "Good. You tape this. Nosey, come here." He hesitated. "But I only wanted to..." "I want you, Nosey. Come here." I pat the counter beside the sink. "I want a snack." "Ja, is good to watch Nosey." "He watches everything else. Das voyeur." The Angels had the handhelds again and were helping to coax Nosey...
January 1, 2018 Dear Ms. Diary, [Written January 4] I got a great night’s sleep, with the multi-orgasm romp with my sister-friend-lovers probably being largely responsible. The long weekend with good friends was very enjoyable, but it was nice to be back to just the five of us. Meka did look longingly at the back of the house for a few seconds when she dropped me off but shook her head and turned back to the Jacobsen house. I was in the middle of the bed, and the other girls chatting...
~~Jack~~ “It’s been a long time,” Michael said, and he pushed open the door. Jack, Jessy, and Damien followed. The leader of the Invictus, and the three Right Hands, together, in the home of Viktor Honors, and then later, Julias Mire. A beautiful mansion, very Victorian, with its grand entrance room and big wooden stairway with fancy railings. Hell, there was a chandelier. It was very Viktor. It was very not Jack. Michael stepped over to the stairs, but didn’t go up. Instead, he leaned...
The phone rang and went directly to hands free. I was leading a three car convoy from the college. We were bringing all of Misty's, Belinda's and Sarah's personal belongings back to the house. It had to be done tonight so the cleaning crew could clean their former dorm rooms in time for the arrival of the nine California students tomorrow morning. Marcy's voice was full of tension, "How close are you to home? We several serious problems, we need you here as soon as you can get here....
“Anybody else want to be doubled?” I asked. Tracy surprised me, getting in position after Anna got off of us and ran into the bathroom. “Hold everything,” Princess said running and getting a moist towel for Stuart. While things were waiting to begin, Jennifer licked me off saying, “You need a new list now, don’t you?” “Maybe I do,” I answered. Tracy got in position and dropped easily on me saying, “Come on Mr. Holland ... I’m ready for you.” Princess helped him with his aim, giggling in the...
Never tempt fate. Glass takes one million years to decompose, which means it never wears out and can be recycled an infinite amount of times! Gold is the only metal that doesn't rust, even if it's buried in the ground for thousands of years. Your tongue is the only muscle in your body that is attached at only one end. If you stop getting thirsty, you need to drink more water. When a human body is dehydrated, its thirst mechanism shuts off. Zero is the only number that cannot be...
Dear Lily, Of course we are friends! I might have been distressed by the last letter you sent, but that's because I love you and hearing how your life was before you ended up with Will and Marissa. After all, your story was one of great tragedy and pain. I'm not a huge fan of pain. I know that you'll hear that the motto of a lot of people back on Earth is "No pain, no gain" but that never really made sense to me. I did live with pain. I was a cheerleader in high school and college and...
ATLANTA, GEORGIA, STILL EARLY FRIDAY MORNING ... Whatley stopped for a moment. "I want Hanes out of here." Grigsby frowned. "Shit, Sir. He had two major surgeries less than forty-eight hours ago, plus major, and I do mean major, kidney surgery a couple of days prior to that. He's on IV medications, and the guy can barely hobble the five steps to the bathroom even with two people helping him..." " ... And if this was only the first line attempt? What about Moore on the way to tell...
Sure enough, by the time the four lovers exited the house, a small, electric-powered cart was parked behind the two cars in front. A woman was writing on a pad and speaking into a walkie-talkie. By the time Adam finished his lunch at the main house, a pair of tow trucks were outside. By the time he returned with his own car, both of the offending vehicles were gone. He looked for Veronica and didn't find her in the second house, so he headed to the sun deck to see if he could move her car...
Two days after her tryst with Sholandra, Laura's bruises had faded enough so that she felt she could risk seeing Trina. Especially if they saw one another, as they would, at night, when the lights were soft. Laura could hardly wait, and her pussy got very wet every time she contemplated it. Oh god, am I just building myself up for another letdown? she wondered. She's been so sweet, over the phone. So loving. So completely trusting. How can that happen, when she was so angry over the...
February 1988 The sun was low on the horizon, and would be setting soon. It was cold out on the ice of Spearfish Lake, a quarter mile out from the shoreline, off of the city beach; a stiff wind was blowing, but at least it was clear. That wasn't entirely a blessing; while it would mean that they'd have a moon after a while, the clear, windy night would be cold, and there were a lot of places where the railroad line ran through open country, where the wind could get at them. Mark felt...
“A Sidhe guild of assassins potentially living on the Finnish northern border?” Roxanne asked incredulously. “Yes, Roxanne. Though as far as we know they don’t hunt people or other sentient beings,” Morgana replied. “That we know of,” Roxanne said bluntly. “Plus, how the hell were they getting into and out of Tír na nÓg without the Seers noticing?” “Something to ask them if we find they have been operating out of here,” Tara chuckled. “True,” Morgana added with a grin. “But for now we’re...
These are compliments of fmwarmac A man was in a doctor’s office and the doctor walked in and said, “Ok what do you need today sir.” The man pulled down his pants and showed the doctor his beat up, bruised, and bleeding penis. The doctor said, “Damn how did you do that?” The man said, “Well I live in a trailer, and every night I have noticed that the woman in the trailer next to mine at exactly 9:00pm, she moves her rug where there is a hole in the floor, she sticks a hot dog in the hole...
Present – Liz, Bernie, Jens, Ben and Ira – At the hospital Jens walks into the room right as I go into another contraction so I begin my Lamaze breathing. Bernie smiles and greets them, “Good that you guys could make it in time.” Jens smiles and replies, “I’m glad that we were in time.” The contraction finishes and I comment, “That was a pretty damn strong.” Jens replies, “It seemed like it from the look on your face.” I smile and answer, “I’m not sure a woman my age should be having...
Breakfast was delivered and I ate at the desk in the Oval Office. While I ate I started reading the intelligence updates from the various agencies. I used a hi-lighter to mark out things I wanted to ask questions about. I had meetings scheduled with all the different agencies at some time today. OJT was not something I was fond of at this level but it was the only choice I had for some things. Senator Harrison arrived at 0745 for his appointment - fifteen minutes early - as I thought he...
“Trust is dangerous.” —Pittacus Lore, Eight’s Origin I DID SOMETHING VERY UNUSUAL in my morning concert Sunday. I played alone and from music. Oh, Sophie had volunteered to sit with me and listen but I turned her down. I had a feeling our musical advisors weren’t entirely happy with us after last night’s performance. Well, Vinnie was. I think Jannie was okay with it. LeBlanc and Sokolov were confused at best and disappointed at worst. Those guys wanted a note-perfect performance...
Monday brought a host of interesting things to my life. The best came in the form of a 5-foot-11-inch African-American supermodel. Jersey Williams had a brief break in her shooting schedule and decided to pay a visit to Nashville before jetting off to Paris or Rome or some other exotic locale. In truth, she was headed to South America for a photo shoot involving snow skiing in the Andes but it made Brian and Dom happier to think of her in a bikini on white sand beaches so we pretended. In...
Thorn was the first to go. As I promised I wrote him a good recommendation for a job with the highway patrol. The state really seemed to be swimming in the Warren County labor pool. I really didn't mind Thorn leaving, even if it was on short notice. He left only two weeks after I took office. It just meant I had to find a detective willing to come to Warren County to live and work. Either that or I had to find someone worth a damn on the Department at that moment. "Good morning Chief...
Here is the deal Seth. I found a 9 mm in your room at your dad's house. We also found one at your girlfriends house. It really isn't much of a gun. Of course it don't take much of a gun at close range. Now we got a shell casing from the scene and also the slug in Burt. We can't do a ballistic check on the slug here. That went to the state crime lab last night. But what we can do is an extractor mark comparison. It is almost as good as the expert's testimony. So we are going to do one of...
I talked to a bunch of people who came into Hardee's, while I drank from the endless coffee cup. As far as I was concerned I had closed the Wilbur Owens case. He had committed suicide and I didn't give a damn what the medical examiner's opinion was. After all was a fucking butcher. I laughed at that last. It was almost lunch time but I wasn't hungry. I think the thought of Liam as an old man scared the hell out of me. When he was an old man, me being an old woman wasn't far behind. I...
"Now that you are a big boss how you liking it," I asked her when she came on the line. "I don't. Especially when one of my agents fucks up as bad as Morris. There is something personal going on with her. She can hate you as much as she pleases Sylvia, what she can not do is try to bully you. I would never allow that with anyone, especially with someone who can not be bullied. If she want's to play whose is bigger, there is no place for her in the SBI administration. She can be a field...
I waited until they went through the cheerleader's computer and Jamison's as well. Nothing told us who Lucy was with that night. Nothing told us who anyone was with for the last week. Jamison only updated the files weekly. So the prick still had something to deal. That must have been his thinking. He had planned that it would be about the kiddie prostitution and maybe porn, but he never planned on murder. Accessory after the fact of murder was going to be quite an incentive to talk his...
Most homicides are solved in the first 48hours. I think that must be in big city police departments. Just the lag time between homicide detectives and outside agencies make that impossible for rural agencies. Add to that the lack of qualified career law enforcement officers and you have an idea why rural homicides take longer or never get solved. That also explains why the SBI inserts itself wherever possible. The latter was attempting to happen, when I awoke the next morning. The excuse...
"What you are going to have to find is a dog sitter. Someone who is at the same place all the time and would take Dog for a few hours while you pretend to be the Sheriff," Simpson said. "Mrs West," I suggested. "I can't see her walking Dog when he has to go out. She is a bit frail I think. Once he get past this depression, if a cat crosses his path he will pull most anyone down." Simpson said. We were standing in the shade of the gun shop while Dog lay quietly panting. "I don't...
"It was two agonizingly slow weeks before the call came. "Sheriff Porter I believe the farm belonging to Joseph Black is going to be used for an illegal gathering of terrorists tomorrow?" the heavily distorted voice advised me. "Who is this?" I asked even though I knew. "If you have your deputies there at 12Noon you might be able to stop them." the voice went on. "How many are there," I asked. "Probably two dozen," the voice said. "You just need to be there." Be there or be...
It took them two days to come back with a counter offer. Admit that the arrest was a mistake and throw Morris to the Wolves. A trusted agent with a long time vendetta. The press tip off was solely so that there would be coverage of the false arrest and damage to the Sheriff's reputation. The SBI agent at the center of the controversy has been fired. "That's all they will give us. That and fifteen million dollars," Rita said. "It's more money than we would ever get from a jury. Let's...
Back in the motel we took turns in the shower. I wore a pair of jeans and a while tee shirt with a OD fatigue jacker over it. Only because it was available. It was also fun to poke a little fun at myself. It was laughable because it still had the sheriff name tape sewn over the pocket. Osborn wore tight jeans and tight too tee shirt belonging to me. She obviously wore a push up bra because she had more breasts than usual even. She fixed her hair in a girl next door look. She somehow managed...
That isn't quite true, I got out of the police station without even calling Rita. It was about 3AM when they sprung me. From the police station I drove to the motel. I slept until 10AM.
