This little fic started out as a writing exercise. Then it shifted gears and well turned into a challenge idea. And this is no lie….

Abducted ……By a Shopping Cart

Rain, rain go away and come back another day. That's what I was hum drumming as a marched into the local supermarket. I was tired, pissed off, and ready to shoot someone. They'd better to have some freaking Ben and Jerry's. After all these were the only two men a woman could truly count on in life.

Yeah, Morelli and I are at odds again and at the moment I am none to happy with Ranger. Shit I can't believe he used me for entertainment. He knew I'd fall in the mud hole, so that's why he parked there.

I blew through the sliding doors not even giving them time to fully open. Not that the funky little bag boy wanted to let me in anyway. "Ma'am" he started "its after six it's closing time."

I give him my best death glare, and may your camel come up with four flat feet, look I could muster he almost pissed his pants. I know I certainly looked as if I had. Mud, yessh I hoped it was mud (shudders) was spewed up my back from where my ass had connected with a pile of something. I'm gonna lie to myself and pretend it doesn't smell like anything but mud, what ever mud smells like.

In a hurry I blew down the chips isle gathering chips, only to then go back up the chips again gathering dips and soda. Oh how I loved the idea of putting it all together on just two isles.

I made a wild swipe through pastries then I power pushed that squeaky wheeled cart over to the frozen foods. Yum.. A complete case set up in shrine style to Ben and Jerry's. Decisions, decisions. What did I want? No wait what did I not have? No, no that's still not right. What did I need? That's it.

Nearly a quarter after seven I was content, but my checking account may have a different point of view come bill paying time. It was also quite apparent the cashier and bagboy were content I was leaving because they opened the door for me, waved me off cheerily and the whole nine yards.

By the time I wheeled into my parking lot, it was 8:13, and Ranger was looking pissed. Don't know why, wasn't like he had sucked half a mud hole up using his ass.

'Sides he and Tank had had a good roll over that one.

"Babe." He spoke eyeing the carton of Devil's Food Chocolate sprinkled liberally with sour cream and onion chips, I was still clutching in my hand.

He tried to look around me and into my full up backseat. "Little worried about you, Babe."

Worried? About me. Pffh. Well he wasn't to worried bout me earlier now was he?

"I've been calling you." I glared at him. "Guess where my cell phone is / was?" Yeah that's right I dare you, answer that one flyboy.

He flipped his hands up in surrender. Ok so I suppose I owe him an explanation. Oh well one is as good as another.

"I was abducted ……by a shopping cart." Oh yeah take that you hottie.

Yeah yeah, I know If you lie by omission its still a lie. Ok so the cart didn't exactly abduct me so much as I did it. But it got me what I wanted anyway…
