Present Time

It'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.

I think maybe she was checking me out too.N: Ummm, negative ghostrider, I know my sister. She wasn't checking you out.R: One day, my friend, one day.

    RansomMy ears perk up as I hear a call coming over the radio. Dispatch is speaking quickly, precisely, and with an urgency I haven't heard in a long time."I've got a report of a man with a gun at the Laurel Springs Urgent Clinic. It has been spotted and verified. Kelsea Harrison called it in, saying Stella Kepler's in the room with the man. At this time, he's not brandished it, but they've requested an officer respond. Apparently, there's a woman who came in with him, whose safety they're worried about."I'm quick to key the radio. As one of the only members on the Moonshine Task Force not related to these two, I can respond while they can't. I've had SWAT training, and besides my dad, I'm the most qualified to take the call. "Show me as responding, I'll be there in less than two minutes.""Got it, Ransom. State Troopers are responding with you. One unit has acknowledged response.""Ransom, you know those two, they wouldn't have called something in if they weren't worried,"

    StellaAs I get into my car, I sigh as I turn on the aerated seats. It's hot as fuck in Laurel Springs right now, and this has been a shit-tastic day. I got puked on, felt up by a man old enough to be my father, and then the doctor I work for asked me out. Not for the first time, I might add, but he's so not my type. He's not rugged, he's not manly, and I'll never forget the way he ran out of the clinic when I was in the room with a guy packing a gun.I don't want to be with the man who runs away from danger. No, I want to be with the one running to it. Like Ransom Thompson. A little smile plays across my face as I think about him saving me that day. He and I, we've known each other since we were babies, and he's always flirted with me, from the time we were old enough to know what flirting was up until now. The issue is, I never took it seriously. Until about eight months ago, when I started noticing that Ransom had grown up. Maybe it was the fact we'd both gotten to the "other si

    StellaParking at the grocery store, I realize I have less time than I thought, but I know I can make this work. Grabbing my phone out of my purse, I walk in quickly, grabbing a cart."Hey Belle, what's up?"My aunt Blaze is the person I go to for advice when I don't want the motherly type. When I want someone who sees me as a woman, realizes I have relationships, and I'm an adult, she's the very first person I call. Luckily for me, my mom respects that about us and never seems to have an issue. For that, I'm completely grateful."Hey, if I want to cook dinner for a guy, what should I get?""Do I know this guy?"I can't help but smile. "You might, you might not, I'm pleading the fifth right now. I'm not sure what's going to happen with it. It could just be dinner tonight, or it could turn into something else, I don't know.""If you're worried about cooking him something good, I'm betting it's more than dinner tonight. You forget I know you."She does know me, but right

    Ransom"He pulls hard." Stella digs her bare heels into the yard, trying to stop her body from moving as Rambo growls playfully tugging on the toy in her hand. She finally gets it away from him, throwing it farther than I expect her to. She's breathing heavily as she comes back up on the deck, grabbing the beer I brought out for her."Yeah, he doesn't fuck around with his tug toys." I laugh as he picks it up, shakes it, tosses it in the air, and then completely rips it apart. "Which is why they don't last long."Setting my beer down, I go over to the side of the deck, where I have a tennis ball and launcher. Those last longer. Using it, I rear back grunting with the force it takes to get it all the way to where my fence is. It hits the wood with a thud, before Rambo runs after it. "There." I watch as he lays down in the shade of a tree. "Looks like he's tired himself out.""How's he doing? Didn't you say he got shots?""Good." I take a drink of my beer, watching her as she si

    StellaTo my disappointment, after I kinda issued the challenge, Ransom hasn't made a move. Not that I thought he would, it was a little more direct than even I'm used to. If there's one thing I do know about him, it's that he's a gentleman, because that's what his parents raised.Yawning, I flip my phone over from where it sits beside me. At some point we moved to the outside couch, Rambo laying in the middle of us, surprising me by putting his head in my lap. When I see the time, I almost have to do a double take. "I didn't realize it was so late." I show him the screen, already having flipped to midnight. "I have to work tomorrow.""Shit, I'm sorry," he apologizes as he slightly nudges Rambo off the couch. "I didn't even think about it. I don't go in until a mid-shift.""Don't be," I stick my feet in my shoes, standing up to stretch. "I had a really good time, thanks for letting me come over."As the night has progressed, his slight beard has grown in more, his eyes have g

    RansomS: Thank you so much for the flowers! They were completely unexpected, but greatly appreciated. Kels said she's never known you to send anyone flowers before. I'm feeling pretty special.R: That's because you are! S: I know you've got a busy day, and we're slammed here. So I'll let you go. Just wanted to say thank you.R: I wanted you to know I had a great time with you last night, and no matter how busy we are, I want to make this work.S: I do too! See you tonight! XOXOI've pulled up to the property my family owns and shut my SUV off. I'm amazed at the number of cars that have showed up. It looks like there are members of the tri-county SWAT team, State Troopers, the rest of the MTF, our K-9 trainer, and some of the Laurel County Sherriff's Department. I park while Rambo makes noises in the back, scratching to get out."Not yet, bub," I say to him. "I gotta see what's going on first."Getting out of my SUV, I walk over to where some other members of the MTF s

    Stella"Are you going over to Ransom's tonight?" Kels asks as she and I watch one of our shows on Netflix. I have about twenty minutes before I have to leave, and we're getting in one last episode of This is Us before I do."Yeah." I yawn, picking my phone up from beside me.She's lounging in our chair, I'm spread across the couch, which was the worst thing I could have done when I came home. It's been a long day, and damned if I'm not tired as hell. "You gonna make it?" She giggles. "Maybe you should pack a bag, just in case you end up staying."The thought has merit, but I don't want to seem presumptuous. Grabbing my phone, I fire off a quick text.S: So I'm super tired because it was a really long day a work today, but I want to see you. Would it freak you out if I bring a bag over in case I'm too tired to drive home?I'm nervous as I wait for him to respond. This is much closer to boyfriend/girlfriend territory than I'm sure he wanted to be in. Never mind I just invi

    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
