The Laurel Springs Emergency Response Team Series Chapter 60
Nick"Hey, I'm leaving for work," I hear the whispered voice of Kelsea."Yeah?" I answer, trying desperately to wake myself up. "What time is it?""Five-thirty," she answers, as she goes to the closet, bends down, and comes back over to the bed. She has a seat, as she goes about putting her shoes on. "Remember, I have an early shift today because we're doing the free clinic? You have to get Darren to school for me."Typically she gets him off to school and I pick him up. We've settled into a nice routine, and so far things have been working well. The problem with today is, I just got off-shift at three. "What time do I have to wake him up?" I yawn as I push myself up onto my hand. "Six-twenty," she answers, reaching in to muss my hair. "You have to leave here by seven to get him there on time, so don't let him jerk you around.""Will he do that?""With his breakfast, yes. He'll keep telling you it's okay for him to have Pop Tarts. That's not the case, he can't have that

KelseaI have the apartment to myself and it's magnificent. Not that I don't enjoy having the boys with me, but so quickly I turned into a caretaker. My showers are usually between five and ten minutes long. I never get to take a bath anymore. That's about to change today. I'm off work, Nick's somewhere doing manly stuff with Ransom, and Darren's at school. The tub isn't huge in this bathroom, but it's big enough for me to lay down in. The room is steamy, just the way I like it. Taking off my clothes, I dip down into the water, groaning as it caresses my tired muscles. The bubbles and bath oil I use, soak into my skin, relaxing in a way only they know how. Who knew taking care of a home with two other people in it would make me so tired? Tilting my head back against a rolled-up towel, I close my eyes.I must doze off, because the next thing I hear is a sharp intake of breath that startles me. Glancing over at the door, I see Nick. He's wearing a pair of shorts, a tank top, sw

NickI'm running late as I clock in, but I can't wipe the smile off my face. Spending the time with Kels I got to this afternoon was much needed for both of us. I don't think anyone is going to be able to turn this smile upside down today. "You riding tonight?" I ask Ransom as he comes in right behind me. "Yeah, but I'm running late. Stella was having a rough time.""Running late, too." I laugh as I point to the clock. He looks at me, his eyebrows drawn in suspicion. "Funny, you don't look like you're even worried about running late.""I had a great afternoon." I give him a shit-eating grin."I just fuckin' bet you did."The one thing about having a best friend is you never fully have to explain anything to them. They know just by looking at you. He reaches out, giving me a handshake. "Get you some." He coughs as we see Mason walking out of the main office."What's going on with you two?" Menace asks. "Why aren't you already on the road?""Both running late, but

Kelsea"Thanks for coming out with me tonight." I glance over at Stella. "I know you're tired and you didn't really feel like it, so thank you."Darren had ended up asking to stay at my brother's for dinner, which allowed me to have a girls' night."You know I'm always up to have a good time with you, Kels. Even if sometimes I'm not feeling great, don't ever think you can't ask me to come out with you. Speaking of, I can't believe you and Nick haven't decided to put a name on whatever it is you two have. I'd like to kick his ass," she growls as she comes to a stop sign. "If he doesn't know what he has with you, he's a dumbass.""Trust me," I laugh. "I wanna kick his ass too, but I have to believe he'll get a wake-up call. I mean, if we end up being able to adopt Darren, we'll have to deal with each other for the rest of our lives." For some reason I almost cry at the thought. "I have every faith that one day you'll be like me and Ransom. A couple of newlyweds who feel like

Mason (Menace)It's hard to watch my daughter fall apart in front of me, and even harder to watch the Keplers try and keep their heads about them as we all gather at the hospital in Birmingham The last time we were all here was when Ransom got shot, and I don't think any of us have forgotten that.Kelsea looks like a ghost of herself. She's always been my bright, vibrant girl who took after her mom. There's no room she can't light up, but right now her light is gone. It's a reminder of what destruction the world can bring, even when it looks like you've got the world in the palm of your hands.I'm furious this happened to Nick as he was doing his job. As he was protecting the people of Laurel Springs. It makes me angry someone would come gunning for him because he was trying to protect a boy from a father who's much more like a predator. "Thank you so much for keeping him." I can hear her saying to Ruby. "Please don't turn the TV on. He doesn't know, and I don't want him to kn

CalebIf I could legally kill this son of a bitch, I would do it. I've watched the footage from Nick's body cam twice now. Both times I've fought not to puke. This man has no regard for human life, and those are the miserable pricks that deserve to spend their lives behind bars.They don't get to have the love of a woman, the warmth of a bed, the freedom to move about as they would like to, and to be honest they don't fucking deserve it. As I hear Nick grunt when he gets hit by the bullet, I feel sick again. "I can't watch this shit anymore, I'm ready to kill this motherfucker."Ace clears his throat as he secures his bulletproof vest, then puts a jacket over it, proclaiming he's a member of the Laurel Springs Police Department. Looking at him, I know he's just as ready to put an end to this as I am. "Where we going first?""Dumbass like him? He'd go straight home.""You think so?" I nod, securing my vest, making sure my side arm is ready to go. "He won't have anyone to

KelseaWaiting is the worst, especially as Darren sits curled up next to me. I have to admit, even though I'm sad about the events that brought him here, I'm happy to have him beside me. For the last few weeks, he's been my buddy. While I would do anything to take away the pain I know he's feeling, I'm almost glad he doesn't have to grow up with the piece of shit father he had.Sighing, I look at my watch, wondering how long it's going to be before someone comes out and tells us how he's doing. He went into recovery almost an hour ago, according to the patient board. I'm about to not be patient any longer. "Do you want some coffee, honey?" I look up, seeing Whitney."I should be asking you, if you need anything." I scoot over, doing my best not to disturb Darren."No." She grabs hold of my hand. "He'd want me to take care of you."For some reason Whitney saying those words starts the water works I've been trying to hold at bay for the last three hours since Darren showed u

NickIf the bullet that hit me didn't kill me, physical therapy sure as hell will. The therapist they've given me is sadistic. Now I know why Ransom was such a little bitch when he was rehabbing. I might owe him an apology or two."Come on, Nick, one more set," she encourages me in this all too peppy voice. "I know you have one more in you."I want to tell her to shut the fuck up, but at the same time, I'm struggling with not being on the job. I badly want to be back in my squad car, riding the roads and taking lunch with Ransom. If I ever want to be allowed to do that again, she has to sign off on it.When I have absolutely nothing else left to give, she claps her hands. "That's it for today, Nick."I'm breathing heavily, wishing it didn't take so much out of me to do PT, but it does. I'm so weak compared to where I was a few months ago, but I'm also better than I was a few weeks ago. "See you in a few days." I wave as I use a towel to dry off my wet hair. Walking into th

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
The Laurel Springs Emergency Response Team Series Chapter 272
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
