6:30pm Joes house
I opened Joe's door a crack and took a tiny look around. The coast looked clear, but my spidey sense told me other wise. I didn't know where, but Ranger was out there, I just didn't know when or how he would pop up. Looking back at Joe, he had his eyebrows raised and giving me a look like I was crazy. He didn't have to tell me I was crazy I knew full well I was.
"OK lets go and hopefully we'll make it to the truck" I said opening the door
"Steph let me take you to the dentist and I'll call Manoso and have him meet you there"
"No" I said placing the belt around me
As we drove to the mall my jaw began to throb. The pain would beat like a heartbeat in my tooth and run up and cause my ear to hurt.
"Stupid Lester" I said pulling down the visor looking at myself in the tiny mirror "See if I ever share my snacks with him ever again, he is on his own"
I glanced over at Joe and saw he was shaking his head in disbelief at me. He was probably thanking his lucky stars that he didn't have to put up with me anymore. We spent the rest of the ride to the mall in silence which was fine by me my Advil was wearing off that I had taken and my mouth was in pain. I was in my head thinking on where I could go when Joe drops me off at my car when I heard him swear.
"Damn" I heard and looked over at him to see what was up "he don't play" he said
"What, who don't play?" I asked confused
"Sorry Cupcake looks like your time being on the lam is over" he said
I looked out the window and saw that we were in the mall's parking lot. I could see my car just up ahead of us in the spot I had parked in. My heart dropped when I noticed that on the left and right of me there were shiny black SUVs parked and then I saw that one was parked in front of my car as well.
"SHIT BACK UP BACK UP!" I yelled
"No can do" Joe said looking in his rearview mirror. Turning around in my seat, I saw another SUV idling behind us.
"Shit" I said knowing I was caught
"Babe" Ranger said opening my door. He had this gleam in his eyes and this smirk on his face. I rolled my eyes as I slid out of Joe's truck.
"Excessive much" I asked looking at all the cars and men
"Babe with you anything's possible"
Five minutes later, Tank had dismissed Joe and Ranger led me over to the truck that he was in. By this time my tooth, mouth, ear, and now my head was in so much pain that I didn't care that I was the sacrificial lamb being led to the slaughter. I leaned my head back and moaned.
"Why'd you run?" Ranger asked. Not his normal reaction to the perps he captures.
"I hate the dentist" I told him
"He will make you feel better and you won't be in so much pain"
"No he won the will give me needles and drills and things"
"Maybe so but the outcome will be better in the long run"
"I'm really ok I just need some Advil" I told him giving him one last plea
"You have to be seen Babe" he said and Tank turned into a complex with a lot of professional looking buildings
Getting out of the RangeMan truck, I rolled my eyes at seeing that Bobby and Lester were also there. They all crowded around the small waiting room as Ranger took care of signing me in. He was in the process of walking back over to me when his phone rang; Ranger put his phone to his ear and listened. Speaking to Bobby for a minute, Ranger came over and stood in front of me.
"Babe one of my high dollar bonds was just spotted and we need to go" Ranger informed me
"Oh ok just someone drop me off at my apartment" I said elated that at the eleventh hour I got a reprieve
"Hold on I'm not finished. You're staying and Bobby is gonna stay here with you and take you home when you're finished" he said and I looked up at Bobby who smiled at me
"Great" I sarcastically said
"Lets roll" Ranger said and everyone filed out of the office
"Have fun Beautiful" Lester said as he walked out
"Yea you see if you ever get anything from me ever again" I said narrowing my eyes at him giving him the Burg death glare
Lester laughed "Love you Steph" he said and walked out the door
"Miss. Plum" a medium sized man said from the open doorway "I'm ready for you" he said
Bobby stood up and looked down at me. I huffed out a sigh and followed the man into one of his exam rooms. He moved a little silver rolly tray and lifted up the arm rest of the chair so that I could side in and lay back.
"Ricardo tells me that you broke a tooth" he said
"Yea"
"How did this happen?" he asked
"I was eating some Cheez-it crackers and bit into one and a chunk of tooth broke off"
"Hmmm ok" he said writing in a chart. What I didn't tell him was that I was eating them all because of Lester and that he caused all of this.
"Miss. Plum I'm going to get some x-rays of your mouth and see what I have to work with and while I read them I'll place a little numbing gel on your gums"
"Uhh ok" I said feeling myself start to sweat and my heart rate speed up. There was no way I was getting out of this now, my tooth was broken and it had to get fixed.
"Bite down" he said placing a small square of film into my mouth on a long metal pole
"All right Miss. Plum I'm gonna swab some of this pink stuff onto your gums and go look at your x-rays" he said taking a long cotton swab with a pile of pink goop on it and swiped it onto my gums.
"Just hold it there for a minute" he said as he left to go check the x-rays
As I was sitting there I began to know that the next step was the needle part. This pink stuff was just to numb me enough so that I wasn't to feel the shots he was gonna have to give me. Looking over at Bobby who was standing guard, an idea formed. I took the cotton swab out of my mouth and sauntered over to Bobby.
"Bobby" I said plastering myself up against him, making sure my boobs pressed into his chest. "If you take me home I'll make it worth your while" I said hooding my eyes and talking in a sexy voice
"No can do Steph you have to stay and get your tooth fixed"
I placed an arm around his neck and used my other to play with the collar of his RangeMan polo shirt "Bobby" I said and saw some sweat form on his forehead "I've always had this fantasy"
"Yea?" he asked
"Uhhh huh want me to show you a little of it and then I'll show you the rest at my place?" I asked leaning up and kissing him
If I would have taken Ranger's advice of always being aware of my surroundings, I would have seen that Bobby handed a small needle to the Dentist that had walked back in the room just as I kissed him. When I pulled back I felt a stick to my arm and looked at the dentist that now was standing next to me and then back up to Bobby.
"You Asshole" I got out just as the room and Bobby started to go wonky
"Sorry Steph, Ranger's instructions" I heard as everything went dark
8:00 pm
When I woke up, I looked up into the faces of Ranger and Lester. They placed a hand under each of my arms and helped me to sit up; when I looked around I was in my apartment lying on my couch.
"Welcome back" Ranger said sitting next to me
"Boob drubbed bee" I said and he looked at me strangely
"What?"
I spit out the gauze the dentist had stuffed in my mouth "You drugged me. You had Bobby to drug me" I said
"Babe I knew you were gonna do anything in your power to try to get out of getting your tooth fixed and they also put people to sleep when they work on them so there was no harm done"
"Ugggggg" I said flopping back on my couch
"Get some rest and let your mouth rest. They put a crown on your tooth so don't eat anything hard for the rest of the day" He told me kissing me lightly on the lips
Ranger got up and told Les they were gonna leave me alone now to get some more sleep, Lester nodded his head at his boss but before he left he turned to me and said.
"That's three of us you've kissed now, I hear they are forming a line back at the office for when you come in tomorrow"
"GET OUT!" I yelled throwing one of my couch pillows at him. Lester laughed like a big hyena and closed my door.
"Pay backs a Bitch Santos" I said flipping my TV on and settling in for the remainder of the night.
The End!
