“Yep. We got it all. What are you doing?” He looked at me.
I set the hand full of bullets that I’d collected from the washing machine only moments before on the table.
“I washed one of your clips. I haven’t found the clip, yet. But I found five bullets. How many were in the clip so I know when I’ve found them all?” I asked.
A smile tilted up the corner of his mouth. “9.”
I nodded. “Got it.”
“Nice shirt.” He said as his eyes focused on my boobs.
I looked down and then back up, fluttering my eyes at him. “It’s new.”
The shirt said, ‘Cops like big busts,’ and I’d gotten it with him specifically in mind.
“I got it in the mail today. Along with a few others.” I said.
“They all like that one?” He asked, looping his finger around the belt loop of my jeans and pulling me until I was plastered up against his side.
“Maybe.” I hedged.
He grinned devilishly and gave me a peck on the lips before putting the box he had in his hand down next to the other boxes on the far wall.
“Are you wearing that to the city council meeting?” He asked.
I gave him a ‘are you kidding me’ look and walked into the bedroom where I stripped out of my jeans, t-shirt, and socks. Then I slipped into a purple long sleeved shirt and black dress pants.
I didn’t want to look like a slouch when I went up there to fight for Radar’s life.
Trance had made the decision to go up there, not in uniform, but in his Dixie Wardens cut. I’d fully supported him. I’d have worked my property patch, too, if it’d been ready.
Sadly, it was still in two pieces, according to Minnie, the one who was making the vest for me.
I would stand at Trance’s side. I was very proud of everything he did, and I wanted to make sure everyone in the town of Benton knew it.
“You ready, baby?” Trance asked from the doorway.
I turned around and handed him the hairband I was trying to tie onto the end of my braid.
I’d learned pretty quickthat the best way to tame my long locks while on the back of Trance’s motorcycle, was to make sure I had my hair plaited down my back. Once we got there, I’d undo it from its braid, since Trance liked it down.
“Yes,” I said. “Just need to use the facilities and put some deodorant on.”
He nodded in agreement. “Okay, meet me outside when you’re ready.”
When he left, I went and picked up Hemi’s favorite stuffed chew toy, stuffed it into my bag, and walked out of the house, setting the alarm and locking it behind me.
Trance was already mounted on his bike, and I walked quickly towards him, anxious to get the meeting over with.
The decision to leave Radar at home was a difficult one. Trance had thought it’d be best to keep him at home, just in case. I’d argued that it’d be best for the town to see what a well-behaved dog Radar was, but I was overruled. Overall, it was Trance’s decision, and I wanted him to be comfortable at this meeting.
Once I mounted the bike behind Trance, he handed me my helmet and I strapped it into place. When I wrapped my arms around his chest, Trance took off out of his driveway, heading to the town proper.
We arrived at a quarter ‘til six, and walked inside. Trance and I were flanked by Sebastian and Loki. Behind us was Kettle and Dixie. In front of us was Silas.
I was beyond surprised to see the men of Free as we passed, and I waved to Shiloh as Trance dragged me in his wake. She waved back and gave me a reassuring smile before I lost sight of her. When we reached the front, Trance gestured to a seat that was in the very corner of the room that allowed the largest view of the room and exits.
Which I’d found was normal for Trance. Anytime we went out to eat, he always placed his back to the wall, and made sure he knew where all the exits were. As did his brothers and club members.
