I do not own the movie "The Bounty Hunter" that this is roughly based on or "Austin and Ally" obviously. I really hope you enjoy.
Austin POV
"Hey boss" my best friend, Dez, said as I walked into the office.
"Sup dude" I greeted
"So I got some news for you"
I sat down on the seat across from him and threw my legs up on the table.
"Hit me" I said throwing my arms behind my head.
"Your ex wife" he said bluntly, keeping his eyes on his computer.
"Ally?" I said leaning forward, suddenly very interested.
"You got to bring her in, something about assaulting a police officer"
"How much do I get for bringing her in?"
"5 grand"
I smirked and leaned back again.
This was gonna be fun.
XXXXXXXXXX
Ally POV
"Ally would you just tell me, what this story is about?" My friend Dallas said as I walked to my desk.
"It's about that suicide from last month" I said pulling up different pages on my computer.
"So you are going to take this huge story, all by yourself?"
"Yes" he scoffed at my answer. I looked up at him with my eyebrows raised, "what? Just because I'm a woman I can't do something by myself?"
"No! No, you know those words did not come out of my mouth"
"Yeah, ok whatever" I mumbled, picking up my stuff and walking out the door.
I need to figure stuff out about this case. There is defiantly something that these people are not telling me.
XXXXXXXXXX
"Hey Mom" I greeted my mother as I walked into the club.
"Ally! Darling!" She said as she ran over and hugged me. I looked at her in her dramatic attire, a ball gown.
Penny Dawson was a singer in a shitty club in New Jersey. She took up the job after my dad died, it's her way of grieving.
"How are you sweetie?" She said as we sat down on the stage steps.
"I'm fine. I'm just stressed about this story I'm working on"
"What's it about?"
"A suicide"
"Jesus"
"My reaction exactly"
"I'm sure you'll figure it out sweetie"
"Yah well I can only hope" I said standing up
"You'll never guess what I heard about a certain ex husband?" She smirked
"What?" I asked curiously
"He got fired"
"Austin Moon got fired?"
"Mhmm"
"Jesus and surprisingly that was one of the most attractive things about him, the sexy cop" I laughed "too bad he turned out an asshole"
"I'll see you later mom"
"Where are you going now?"
"I'm gonna go suck up some luck"
"Ally?"
I turned around and looked at her.
"Stay out of trouble, sweetie"
"I'll try"
XXXXXXXXXX
Austin POV
I walked into the club and stood in front of my ex mother-in-law standing on the stage yelling at the stage hands. Yup, that's her. Just like her daughter.
"Hello Penny" I said smiling waiting for her to turn around.
"Austin? Austin Moon?" I grinned at her, she opened up her arms and walked towards me, "give your Mother-in-law a hug!" She exclaimed running towards me.
"What are you doing here?" She asked me
"I'm actually looking for your daughter"
"Oooooo" she cooed
"Not like that, don't get excited. I just need to talk to her. Any idea where she is?"
"Not a clue" she leaned back taking a sip of her martini. "She comes here and tells me that she working on some suicide story and then says she's going to 'suck up some luck', like I'm supposed to know what that means"
I knew exactly where she is.
I'm coming baby.
XXXXXXXXXX
Ally POV
The horse race track, this is where my dad used to always bring me when he wanted to 'suck up some luck', a phrase I still use to this day.
I was sitting there looking through the evidence I had on this 'suicide' story. Jimmy, my guy who finds out information for me when I have to write an article still hasn't contacted me, I'm starting to get worried as he usually only takes less than a week to reply to me, I've been ringing him non stop. I needed to figure this out it was eating me alive.
"Hello Lee" I heard an all too familiar voice beside me. I turned around and saw the last person I would want to see.
Austin Moon.
My Ex-Husband.
"Hey Austin... What are you doing here?" I asked unsurley.
"Oh you know, just wanted to win a bit of cash. Suck up some luck" he smirked at me
"Oh right I forgot about your gambling problem" his smirk dropped and mine picked up.
"It's not a problem if I always win, baby"
I scoffed, "Well your luck would want to be very good because I heard that you got fired from your job"
"Correction. I left my job, I have a new job now"
"Doing?"
"I arrest criminals for a reward"
"You're a bounty hunter?"
"Indeed I am" he grinned
"Ok, well Austin it was a pleasure, as always" I said getting up ready to walk alway when he grabbed my arm.
"You're the criminal, Lee" he smirked
"What?" I gapped at him
"I'm here to arrest you, wifey"
"No, no, Austin do not call me that. What do you mean you're arresting me?"
"I mean, I'm arresting you"
I laughed and shoved him gently.
"Oh Austin, come on. You can cut the act, who is in on this? Was it Bobby? Very funny, you got me" I slowed down my laughing when I noticed him still smirking down at me, cunningly. "I'm not going"
"You know what? I'll give you a ten second head start, for old times sake"
"Austin, I am a mature adult, I'm not going to run from you"
"One"
"Austin"
"Two"
I scoffed at him.
"Three"
Then I ran and I could hear his counting getting quieter the further I got.
Austin POV
"Eight, nine" I smiled.
"Ten"
I laughed and took off in a sprint. I saw Ally slowing down looking around her, I ran up to her while her back was to me. She turned around and bumped into me.
"Try again" I smirked
"Ugh!" She exclaimed as she ran the other way again and I took off once again.
I found her. Again. God she's still as fast a remember her though got to hand it to her. I walked up to her with a bag of popcorn.
"Extra salt. Just the way you liked it" I winked.
She glared at me and whacked the bag out of my hand sending popcorn flying everywhere and AGAIN started to run.
Ok now she's mine.
I saw her running along the sidewalk, calling a cab. I got into my Delta 88 and took off after her. I pulled up beside her walking.
"Get in Lee"
"I'm not going anywhere with you" She said as she kept walking.
I pulled out my gun and pointed it at her. "Do as I say, Lee"
"What are you gonna do? You gonna shoot me?" She scoffed as she kept walking away from me.
"No I won't, but I will shoot a cab driver" I said pointing the gun at the driver, who very quickly locked his door.
"No! No! Wait! He doesn't mean it!" She shouted at them, banging the windows.
"Oh I mean it"
"Cowards!"
"Let's Go, Lee" I said walking towards her.
"Austin, come on, we can talk about this, maybe over dinner" she said running her hands over my chest. For a split second, I was extremely intrigued, I was married to her after all.
"You know what Lee?"
"What?" She bit her lip and looked up at me.
"I used to fall for those eyes, but now... they're just a load of BULLSHIT" I exclaimed as I picked her up and threw her over my shoulder.
"Austin! Put me down!" She pounded her hands against my back. I opened up the trunk and dumped her in it. "Austin! No! You can't be seri-" I cut her off by shutting the trunk.
"Oh I'm dead serious!" I laughed and whistled happily to myself as I sat in the drivers seat.
5 grand here I come.
