The Laurel Springs Emergency Response Team Series Chapter 140
RowanThe knock on my door causes me to shriek in excitement. I know it's Cutter, and even though it's only been a few days, I've missed him. I run so fast I slide on the hardwood, hitting the door in the front foyer. "Ouch.""Ro, are you okay?"I'm holding my forehead as I swing it open, and let him in. "Fine, I was too excited and skid."He sweeps me up in his arms, and I'm back where I've wanted to be since I left Laurel Springs. "Missed you." He runs his nose along my jawline."Missed you, too."This time I release him from my grip, letting him come completely into the living room. "Four days, huh?""Four days," he confirms, excitement in his eyes.But I can see it, the weariness marked by dark circles. "How long have you been awake?"He glances at his watch. "Going on twenty hours.""As excited as I am that you're here, I really think you should get some sleep. It won't do either of us any good if you're dead on your feet.""But you work tomorrow," he argues.

CutterGoing to the beach is something different for me. We went sometimes when I was little, but it was hard with Mom always working at The Café. I, of course, did the whole Spring Break experience, but it's not the same as coming with Rowan."We'll park in the EMT lot." She winks as she turns her car in, displaying her badge. "It's almost ten bucks an hour to park in the public lots. Everybody who works here does it.""Little rule breaker," I joke as she parks in one of the back spaces. "Sometimes rules are meant to be broken."This is a side of her I like. One where she's not so completely worried about what other people think of her. It's cute and sexy. We get out, grabbing our stuff out of the trunk. "How long has it been since you've been to the beach to have fun?" she asks as we walk across the street onto the public part of the sand."Not since you swallowed for me there a few days ago," I laugh as her eyes grow big and she busts out laughing."Cutter!""Kid

RowanIt's been a long, but good day when Cutter and I decide it's time to leave. My face is slightly tight, meaning I'm probably sunburned. I hope not badly considering we applied sunscreen every few hours. As we walk back across the street and into the parking lot, he holds my hand, swinging our entwined fingers between us. It's one of the cutest things he's ever done. We're approaching where I parked, so I reluctantly let go.Reaching into my beach bag to fish out my keys, I point over to where my car is parked, only to let an oath out of my mouth. "Fuck me.""Excuse me?""Not what I meant to say. It's just…" There's a man leaning beside my car. He's one I avoid at all costs, but every once in a while he'll corner me, want to talk to me in a public setting where he knows I won't make a scene. "I don't want to see him right now.""Who is he?" Cutter asks.The man standing beside my car hears him, and together the two of us answer, our voices raising to be the one he

RowanCutter is gone, and I'm alone, but I have a plan today. I haven't been over to my parents' for Sunday dinner since we lost Etta. All the things we used to do had tarnished, no longer shining for any of us. Looking at the empty spot where her seat sat was more painful than any of us had ever imagined.Getting out of my car, I take a deep breath when I realize I'm the last one to show up. Truth be told, even though I called my mom and told her I'd be coming, I don't think any of them truly thought I'd be here. But it's imperative I be here today, I have to explain to them what's going to happen. I don't necessarily need their blessing, but I want it. I desperately need them to understand what I've been going through, and the only way to do that is to tell them. After talking all of these things out with Cutter, I now know how badly I've hurt myself by not speaking about Etta earlier. Weirdly I'd decided by not acknowledging how much losing her affected my life, I was doing bett

CutterI'm off work early today, and I find myself driving by The Café. Mom's car is parked in its normal spot, and Dad's truck is parked next to hers. Since they're both here, I decide to stop. I've never been the type of person to need approval from my parents. That's more up Ransom's alley, but again I made them live with me dropping out of school and losing my scholarship. I never told them exactly what happened either, always too embarrassed to put a voice to the situation. Today though, I decide if I'm going to start a new life with Rowan, I need to have a clean slate, including with my parents. When I walk in, there aren't many people inside, the lunch rush is long past, and that's probably why Dad's decided to come visit. Mom usually uses the downtime to make orders and do anything else that doesn't get completed in the morning.Because I know my parents, I make sure and knock loudly on her office door. I don't just barge in. Been there, done that, and have the therap

Rowan"You don't have to be so sad," I tease Isaac as I reach over, grabbing his hand in mine. "I might not be here after tonight, but we'll still be friends. You can call, text, FaceTime, come visit us - whatever you want to do. Just because I'm moving doesn't mean you're completely out of my life.""Just never thought you'd leave." He looks over at me, a sad smile on his face. "I never thought I'd leave either, but it's going to be good for me."The more I say it the more I believe it. Maybe things had to happen the way they have for me to be able to appreciate it. "You're gonna miss the ocean.""I will, and I'll miss Shucker's, and my family, but I have to do something for myself. I've lived so much of my life being that person who was Etta's mom that I didn't know who I was anymore," I say, doing my best to explain it to him."No, I get it. I really do, I'm just going to miss you like crazy.""I'm gonna miss you too. I've never had a friend like you, never had a p

RowanLSERT FriendsmasThe past few months have passed like so much of life does. Some days drag and we're dying for the next one to start, but then we look up and we don't know where they've gone. Since I moved to Laurel Springs, most of my days have been those fast ones, especially where Cutter and the rest of our friends are concerned. They took me in as one of their own quickly, and I'm not sure I'll ever be able to thank them enough.But there is something that everybody is looking forward to, and that's the gift exchange.Whitney got my name, and I got hers."If there's not a chick fight after these presents are opened, imma be pissed," Devante laughs as he looks between the two of us.He's come into our friend group too, and become my new partner. We have a lot of fun during our shifts and I wouldn't trade him for anything."My money's on Whit," Ryan says from where he sits, nursing his beer."Nope, you ain't seen Ro restrain a drug addict trying to get off he

VOLUME FIVE: SULLIVANSullivan"Yes!"My sister screams the word as she tackles her boyfriend to the ground. He's proposed in front of what has become our group of friends, and though I feel a stab of jealousy in my chest, I'm excited for them. I can't help but clap and whistle along with everyone else. Cutter and I talked about this a few days ago. He asked my dad, but he requested my permission too, knowing how close Rowan and I are.I gave it to him with every single blessing I could muster. If anyone deserves to be happy, it's Rowan. Someone taps on my shoulder, causing me to take my eyes off the ecstatic couple. "Is it possible to be that lucky? To get someone who makes you smile and your eyes twinkle?"Attorney Shelby Bruce has had my attention since I moved here a few months ago. We live in the same apartment complex, and she just so happens to take her morning run either when I'm leaving for or coming home from work. She may be a bit of an obsession. One I wish

MenacePresent TimeIt's been a hell of a day. One where I got here late in the afternoon because I had meetings. Something I've learned since taking this position a few months ago is that it's mostly meetings. It's keeping people happy and kissing a lot of ass. My legs ache to get back out on the street, to do a couple laps around downtown, or to drive a car fast. To chase a speeder with the lights bright and the siren blaring. I miss it more than I thought I would. It's close to midnight and I know Rina will be wondering where the hell I am, but I wanted to get a look at what went on today by reading the reports of the officers. This is something I do everyday so I can try to gauge how my officers are doing. It's important for me to know if there's an issue in town. If someone is a nuisance, do we need to step up patrols in certain areas? Community policing is the name of my game and I take it seriously. Reading the last report, submitted by Caleb

ArcherA Year And A Half LaterNerves make circles in my stomach as I stand outside of Laurel Springs Medical waiting for Alisa to come out. She doesn't know I'm here and, the truth is, I didn't know I was going to be either. I've been carrying this ring around in my pocket for the last year and a half of the two years we've been together. Waiting. For what, I'm not sure. The right time? The perfect moment? We live together. I could've done it a million times, but there's something different about these stars against the inky blackness of the sky. They aren't crazy bright, but they aren't muted either. They're sparkling. The perfect backdrop to the plan I have. Tonight, as I helped a woman leave a dangerous domestic violence situation, I realized I'm wasting precious and valuable time. Even after dealing with Calvert County, it didn't hit me that seconds are to be treated with the same reverence as the big events in life. Lo

Alisa"Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?" "Yes." I nod as I sit before the grand jury to give my testimony about what happened with Officer Fugate. "Please tell us when you first met him," the attorney instructs. Archer is sitting in the back row, all hot in his uniform. I don't know how he managed to be here, but he has and it's one of the sweetest things he's done for me. I'm not sure I could be doing this without his dark eyes staring back at me. "I met him when he brought a suspect into the ER. It was obvious that man had been beaten badly and it didn't happen only once. After that day, it happened on a regular basis…"ArcherUshering Lis into the station is like sending a babe into the belly of the beast. She's never been here before, doesn't know how things work, and could honestly be scared, given everything she's dealt with. I'd like to kill Officer Fugate with my own two hands.

ArcherIt's a gully washer tonight, as my instructor at the Academy always said when it rained hard. Visibility fucking sucks and I've worked more accidents tonight than I have in the previous three months. It's as if when it rains, no one can remember how to drive. It's hard to even see out of my windshield but, as I pass one of the abandoned gas stations on the outskirts of town, I see another cop stopped.They're an eyesore and, at the next city planning meeting, there's going to be a vote on demolishing them. They're a breeding ground for drug use and criminals. We've put up cameras to show what happens at night when there aren't patrols going back and forth. Since it's raining and dark, I figure I'll hit them, just to make sure nothing's going on that shouldn't be.As I round the corner. I'm surprised as fuck to see Alisa's car parked next to a Calvert County patrol SUV. She's kneeling in front of a cop who has a taser pointed at her. My heart gallops in my chest as I wonder

Archer"Chief Harrison wants to see you," Tank tells me as I make my way into the squad room. I have no idea what I've done and am immediately questioning what the hell is going on. I try to do everything by the book and I can't remember anything I might've done that was untoward. My stomach rolls as I head toward his office. I've never been called before him before and, truth be told, I never wanted to be. When I reach the door, I knock with a double tap. "C'mon in." Opening it enough so that I can sneak my head in, I glance at the Chief. "You wanted to see me, Sir?" "Yeah, come in and have a seat. There's a few things we need to discuss." I don't like the sound of this shit at all. Going in, I have a seat in the chair facing his desk and prepare to get my ass handed to me. "Officer Fugate has made a complaint and I'm bound by state laws to investigate those complaints." "I told you what happened," I defend myself. "He'

Alisa"Thank you for coming tonight," he says as we enter my apartment. "You don't have to thank me. You've saved me more times than I can count." I grin, taking my jacket off. "Come sit over here on the couch with me. You look a little stressed." "They do that to me." He waves his hand toward the street where his parents have just left. "They always make me feel like I'm not good enough, as if I should've done something different with my life." "I know how that feels." I beckon him over with a crook of my finger. "Let me take care of this tension for you, Archie. Let me show you what the fuck your parents are missing." Something about the way they don't appreciate their son has me wanting to show him just how much I do. How important he is to my life. One of the ways I can think of showing him is with my body. Fuck if that isn't exciting. Reaching for my shirt, I pull it over my head, motioning for him to do the same. In a lazy game o

ArcherI'm heading into the squad room at the station to pick up some supplies when the phone in my pocket rings loudly. There aren't many people I have set ringtones for, but this one? I hate when it rings. It's my parents. Not wanting to make whichever one this is wait, I hurriedly answer. It's always struck me as odd. They were so quick to get me out of their lives, yet they do everything together, including share a fucking cell phone. That's right, they share this phone, which means I never know who I'm going to talk to when I put it to my ear. Talk about a surprise every time I answer. "Hello?" I wait for the response. It's always delayed as if they're on some far away phone line. "Archer, it's Dad." No fucking shit. "Hey Dad," I answer, wondering if he'll continue on or if I'll have to pull the words from him like teeth. "What's going on?" "Your mom and I will be in Laurel Springs tonight. We'd like to have dinner w

AlisaHis body over mine is equal parts hot and hard in all the right places. Our naked skin slides together as he leans down to take the tight bud of my nipple in his mouth. "Yes." I tilt my head back against the pillows, allowing him full reign over my body. "Please don't stop," I beg as I rake my hands over his strong back before digging my fingers into the hair on his head. "Never gonna stop," he promises as he sucks at the prominent tip, before letting it go and moving further down. I'm still unsure of how we got our clothes off. All I know is they're in a pile next to the bed. He moves down my body, kissing my stomach before he drops onto his knees and pulls me to the edge. Separating my thighs, he props them up on his shoulders, gazing up at me with those dark eyes before he dips down. His warm mouth covers my pussy, going straight for my clit and lapping against the trembling flesh. "Archer," I moan, lifting my hips to meet his mouth. "It's been so fucki

Archer "Look guy." I hope me using that term pisses him off. "This isn't even your jurisdiction. What the fuck right did you have to pull her over?" "It's Officer Fugate," he corrects me, before continuing on. "She failed to signal a turn." I'm real annoyed. "You got that on your dash cam?" I point to where his camera is mounted on the dash. "It wasn't on." He shrugs. "How fucking convenient for you." I smirk, shaking my head. "It's something the garage knows about, but the budget is lean over in Calvert County." He eyes me. My gaze is on Alisa who's sitting in her car with her hands locked around her steering wheel. She's white-knuckling as he and I stand out here, yelling at one another. "I'm not allowing you to ticket her without proof. Did you radio it in?" His cheeks go red, which tells me all I need to know. "You son of a bitch. You think you can intimidate her? Officers like you give the rest of us a bad name." Going in
