“All right, tell me what you need to wear for tomorrow and I’ll go grab it. You’ll be staying with me tonight.” I instructed her.
“But-” she started it. “I don’t need to stay with you. My place is perfectly fine.”
“Yeah, well maybe that’s so, but I’d feel better if you’d stay at my place until I could get you an alarm installed.” I said soothingly.
She pursed her lips.
“She’s staying with us.” Adeline said stubbornly. “I want her with me.”
After another ten minutes of arguing between the two women, I had my way and took Viddy home with me, getting Loki to cover the rest of my shift, even though neither women were happy about it.

No, you assume the position.
-Things not to say to a police officer

“Unit 5-2. Medic 3 in need of a forced entry for a well-being check. 505 West Oak Street.” The dispatcher called over the radio.
Reaching over for my mic I said, “10-4,” and pulled a U-turn.
The drive was quick. I didn’t go lights and sirens, but I did go over the speed limit to get there within five minutes.
When I pulled up, I found Sebastian and Kettle standing outside beside the engine with their arms crossed across their chests. They were in their normal blue uniforms, the shiny strip down their legs reflecting the glow of my headlights as I came to a stop directly beside them.
Neither one of them smiled when I pulled up.
“You couldn’t get in by yourselves?” I asked them both.
Kettle and Sebastian were both members of The Dixie Wardens, and really good friends. Or, at least, they were before last night when I’d pissed Kettle off. Which meant if one was pissed at you, the other was pissed at you out of principle.
It was as if they were a gaggle of teenage girls.
“The Chief says we have to have PD for every forced entry now. So we called.” Kettle said in clipped sentences.
Oh, yeah. He was still mad. Oh, well.
Apparently, Adeline had given him shit about the fact that Viddy had gone home with me two days ago, after the break in. In fact, she was still at my place. Her alarm should be installed within the next two days, and then she’d be free to go home.
Adeline was pregnant. Therefore rational thought flew out the window when it came to her. Which was why she called constantly to make sure that Viddy was all right, even though she’d been the one to push us together in the first place.
Letting Kosher out of the car, I walked to the back of the car and lifted the trunk, lifting the ram out, as well as the halligan.
I walked with them both, one in each hand, up to the door.
Moving to the side out of habit to protect the majority of my body, I knocked loudly and called out, “BPD!”
When no one answered, I tried again. “BPD! We’re here to do a welfare check.”
When still no one answered, I pulled out the battering ram since the door was made of flimsy wood.
As soon as the tool made contact with the wood, a loudBOOMsounded and I was thrown back ten feet.
Something hit me in the chest so goddamn hard that I couldn’t breathe.
My body hit the ground behind me with a hard thud. My head bounced off the unforgiving ground with a thump, and I stared up at the sky for long seconds, unable to take a breath.
