My eyes turned to the man walking out onto the field, and I knew, with a sudden pounding of my heart, that it was Loki in that padded suit.
“I’m going to kill him,” I growled and stood up.
Viddy grasped my hand tightly. “It’s too late. He’s already started,” she gestured with her fingers.
“Well Kosher better hope he finishes the job, because if he doesn’t, I will.”
Then I watched as my husband was attacked by a deadly trained police dog.
Repeatedly.

“Do you want to go eat at Tele’s?” I asked as I strapped Justice into his car seat.
Loki started shaking his head adamantly. “No, I arrested someone there last week.”
I sighed.
That was a standard answer for him, sadly.
“Okay; well then, where?” I questioned as I closed the back door to the truck.
He waited to answer until I was seated next to him.
“Uhh, how about The Blind Tiger?” he asked.
I glared at him. “That’s a bar. You can’t take kids to a bar.”
“We take them to Halligans and Handcuffs all the time,” he shot back.
I gave him a droll look. “Yes...but that’s because y’all own that place. And it’s a restaurantandbar. You also don’t see me taking them there after seven.”
He snorted. “Whatever.”
I shifted uncomfortably in my seat, and lifted up my ass to reach underneath and withdraw a handful of bullets that must’ve slipped free off the ammo bag I’d moved off the seat when I’d gotten in.
Placing them on the seat, I said, “How about Cracker Barrel?”
He wasn’t listening to me though. His eyes were on the man just ahead of us that was weaving in between the two lanes.
Closing my eyes, I let it play out, just as it’d done many, many times in the last three years.
“I need you to run some plates for me. And send a unit to Duncan Road and Sheffield Drive. Alpha. Boy. Seven. Liver. Four. Queen. Boy. 10-4,” Loki said into his radio.
The radio was a part of him, just as his wedding ring. Gun. Badge. And Dixie Wardens cut.
He very rarely left the house without those things.
I must’ve dozed off, as did the kids, because I wasn’t even aware of him pulling over behind the car, talking to the other officers on scene, or getting back into the truck.
Instead, I woke up when we were pulling into the Chinese restaurant.
“Chinese again?” I questioned huskily.
He smiled apologetically. “Sorry, babe. You’ll have to go in and order it, though. I think Barney’s working today.”
Barney was the owner of Magic China. He was also arrested by Loki a little over a year ago for abusing his wife. Although Barney’s wife forgave Barney, Barney never forgave Loki, and refused to serve him.
