Shelby"Frank was notified yesterday by certified mail."Montana gapes, her mouth wide open. "She gave all this money to me?""She did." I nod, watching as she looks at the will I wrote for Mrs. Haley. "She knew what kind of a situation you were in. It was her last wish for you to have this and to get away from him."Tears trail down her cheeks. "She knew. This whole time?""From what I understand she did.""He's going to be pissed." Her hands shake as she wipes at the tears. "Not only at me, but at you too.""I can handle him." I shuffle around in my bag. "Here's your first check from the estate. I know you get out of the hospital in a couple of days. If you would like me to deposit this for you into an account we set up for you, I can do that. Then you can start trying to find a new place to live.""How will I move there? I can't lift anything." She's still in shock, looking at me with amazement in her eyes."You let me take care of that. There are plenty of people

Sullivan"Domestic dispute at The Café," dispatch advises, causing me to do a double-take when I hear the location."The Café?" I verify."Yes. Caller states two patrons are having a disagreement."I can hear Leigh screaming on the call. "It's Montana and Frank Gentry. He's cornered her here."Son of a bitch. "I'll be right there."I'm driving a Charger today instead of my customary SUV. As it responds to the way my foot presses the gas, I kind of hope they let me have it for the long haul. Even though I started out halfway across the county, I'm in front of The Café within minutes. There's a crowd, and I can see Frank standing very close to his wife."Frank, back away, or I'm going to have to take you in. You're aware there's an order of protection against you."I don't mention how it'd be my pleasure. I'm still fucking pissed at the way he treated the woman in my life. "Go ahead and take me in," he screams at me. "Ya know what? Turn around, put your hands beh

Shelby"I hadn't quite thought how I would feel to be up for auction when this idea was presented." I pull at the hem of the dress I'm wearing.In front of me Sullivan wears a suit, along with a smirk. A fucking smirk. He looks way too good in the white dress shirt, and dark blue blazer. It sets off the color of his eyes, and the perpetual tan he seems to have. "You look damn good." His gaze eats me up."So do you." I grab hold of the lapels of his jacket, tugging him into me. "Wish I had enough money to spend on you. I'm sure you're gonna go for a ton."I giggle, tilting my head toward him, as he reminds me. "That would be beside the point. Instead of raising money, we'll be spending it."He slides his hand down my back, cupping my ass with his palm. I grin up at him, loving when a smirk spreads across his face. White teeth flash against his skin. "I'd give everything I had for you.""Sullivan Baker, you're too sweet."He dips down, putting his lips to my neck. "Only

Sullivan"Are you okay over there?" I ask Shelby as we head south on the interstate. She hasn't said much since we left."I am." She turns to me, and although I can't see her eyes behind the cloth covering them, I can tell she's sort of irritated I'm keeping her in the dark. "Slightly bored," she huffs. "Thinking about doing something to entertain myself.""Oh yeah?" I shift gears, getting up to speed to go with the flow of traffic. "What are you planning on doing?""I guess I could show you."The glow from the street lights allow me to see as Shelby sneaks her hand up in between her thighs."Oh, Counselor," I groan, putting the car on cruise control. "You horny?""For you? Always, but I would love to point out that you were up on that stage lookin' all hot.""You should've seen yourself, and fun fact, I have a fantasy about you wearing a skirt and letting me fuck you."She breathes heavily through her nose. "A fantasy?""Yeah, one I'm going to make come true when w

SullivanA Week Later"Are you sure there's no one else you want to take with you?" I ask my sister before I practically inhale a drink of the coffee we stopped and picked up. "I'm not sure I'm the person you want to help pick out a wedding dress."She looks over at me from the driver's seat, a grin on her face. "No one helped me the first time around, and this time, I feel like it's important. You're my best friend.""But I'm not a girl.""You don't have to be a girl," she argues. "You more than anyone, know me. You understand what I like and you've been there for me since the beginning.""But shouldn't you bring Mom or something?""If you didn't want to go, you could have said no," she reminds me."I know." I take another drink. "I do want to go, but I have to be sure you want me here."I invited you!""Okay, okay. I'll stop being so self-conscious about it.""Please do, I'm supposed to be the nervous one."I give her that, especially after the first marriage

ShelbyI'll be glad when this shit is over and I'll never volunteer for anything like this with the LSERT again. I'd been led to believe there wouldn't be anyone not vetted, but I guess money is money. Something told me not to do this, but I'm the new one here and I wanna help all my new friends. I've had a shitty feeling about this since I got the directions to the dinner tonight. All of our correspondence has been done by email. To be honest, I wanted to get this over with, so I agreed to meet them on the first day they requested.It's not in a part of Laurel Springs I've ever been in, and I don't recall there being a restaurant in the building I've been directed to, but I gave my word and here I am. "I'm here," I tell Rowan. "If you don't hear from me in an hour, send help," I half-way joke. "I know this is supposed to be a new place, but it doesn't look open.""Be careful."As I get out of my car, I lock the doors and make sure the pepper spray I like to carry is within

Sullivan"Where is Shelby?" Menace asks as I stride back into headquarters, going to the equipment room to load up on what I feel I need."She's at the hospital. They're going to keep her overnight. Concussion."I don't want to speak to him or anyone else. There's only one thing on my mind and that's finding Frank. "Then why aren't you there with her?" Menace questions."I have other things to do.""You don't want to do this." He grabs hold of my shoulder, stopping me from going any farther."You have no idea what I'm about to do." I throw his hand off me."No, I do." He grabs hold and pushes me back against the wall. "I know exactly how you feel. When Rina was pregnant with Kels, she was held at gunpoint by a fellow teacher. I wanted to run in there and grab her, make sure she was okay, kill the fucker with my bare hands. But I couldn't." He holds onto my arm. "I had to be off the case, I was too close. In my anger I wanted to go in there and kill everyone, which woul

Shelby"This is The Café," I tell my parents as we make the trip down the sidewalk from my office to the place where most people in town go to eat. They've been here for almost two weeks. Since I was brought to the hospital and now that I'm home. They leave tomorrow, and I finally feel well enough to take them on a tour of Laurel Springs."It's all so quaint." My mom grins. "I can see why you love this place.""It's not hard," I admit. We walk in being greeted by so many people who have become friends and family to me in such a short amount of time. Seeing three swivel chairs at the soda fountain free, I lead them to my favorite place to sit. That's when I notice Ransom, Cruise, and Havoc standing in a group together, cracking up."Hey guys." I wave. "What's going on?"Ransom giggles as he looks at me. "Your man is in a slow speed chase.""Slow speed chase?" I ask, not sure what he's saying. I'm not sure I've ever heard of a slow speed chase. "Mr. Honeycutt is refu
