"Wow! Just…wow!" the large lesbian laughed as she gazed up to the ceiling of the small office. Sam slumped in his chair fighting the urge to slam his head against the hard surface of his desk repeatedly. He glared at the woman sitting in front of him. Every inch of her being was like a carefully devised tactic to infuriate him. Her hitler hair do, the wife beater, the word 'butch' etched in big black letter on her forearm, the way she crossed her arms and slouched in the chair with a teasing smile, even her nickname "Big Boo" blended into the perfect recipe to piss off Sam Healy. Big Boo was well aware of her effect on the social worker and happily used it in any and every situation. "I mean seriously I am so impressed! If I could take you out for a beer I would" Boo praised. "Im not sure what you're talking about" Sam growled. "Oh contrare" Boo jeered "I believe you do. How did it go? 'You make me feel like a woman and I hate it'. I mean oh my god!" Sam's stomach turned to her Galina's confession come out of her mouth. His mouth went dry. "Here's the deal. Im not going to spill the beans I like Red". Boo continued not missing a beat "She takes care of a few of the girls, my girls. You know…the ones that hate me because I make them feel like a woman…who like women" The social worker felt the back of his throat vibrate with a growl. "So I think its only fair if I help out your lady friend you help out a couple of mine."
The price was heavy. Two job replacement referrals, two shot recounts, and heaviest of all one furlough. The the price was ridiculous, outlandish even. Thankfully he talked down the sly blackmailer to just one demand. "You need furlough why again?" Sam hissed. "Like I said for the ninth time" Big Boo pouted "Grammy is sick. I must see her. You did the same for Chapman." The two glared at eachother after two hours both were exhausted of their company. "I'll send in the form but I promise you nothing after that, then its up to Caputo. If you do get it by the grace of an unkind god you will have an escort at all times." the officer growled. Boo opened her mouth to protest but to his surprise she smiled and stood. "Thank you so much Mr. Healy" Boo cooed. Sam grunted in response. "I do enjoy doing business with you sir. Your Red must be so proud of your negotiating prowess." Boo said smugly before darting out of the room avoiding a stale poppyseed muffin being pelted at her head. The white haired officer placed his head on the desk before checking his watch. Ten o'clock in the morning, a perfect time for some whiskey. With a heavy sigh he opened the bottom drawer of his desk and whipped out a small bottle of twelve year old Jameson whiskey. Screwing off the top he unceremoniously tipped his head back allowing the smooth bitter content wash away the taste of defeat.
Later that day Sam sat at his desk deep in inmate breifings feeling. Only barely inching up to the half way point of completion the heat was on with only two more hours before the day was up. Suddenly he heard the door swing open and slammed with such a force a large whoosh of air caused a few papers to fly off his desk. Sam's head snapped up to see Red panting in the middle of the office, her eyes ablaze. "Fffffurlough" she hissed. "I….uh" Sam was dumfounded. Her chest heaved in labored breath, her face was slowly deepening in color to matching the same color as her hair, her entire frame was trembling in the waves of rage washing over her. "Fffffffurlough!" She bellowed once more. "She was gonna…tell" Sam squeaked terrified of the force before him. His terror rose when suddenly she barreled towards him, he jumped out of his seat causing the roll away chair to topple over with a loud crack. He let out a groan when his foot hit the radiator proving he was literally backed into the corner. Galina's hands clamped on either side the terrified officer's head before yanking him forward slamming her lips onto his. The kiss was fast but incredibly fierce. The hands left his ears before slamming into his chest pinning him against the wall. "You listen to me!" She barked "No one! NO ONE! Messes with my man! MY! MAN! And demands ffffffurlough! Ffffffucking fffffurlough!" Sam was stunned silent as he remained frozen. "You listen to me! If anyone threatens you again tell me! Because you are my man! MY! MAN! Nobody messes with whats mine! Nobody! You hear!" The officer nodded on demand. "Good!" She huffed before grabbing him by the chin and kissed him once more "Meet me tonight for some star trek. Its a good episode tonight." She then whipped around and stormed towards the door before stopping dead in her tracks then whipped back to look at him with a dangerous smile. "God you're so hot when terrified." She growled before swinging open the door and storming out.
"I got to get a new job" Sam grumbled rubbing his throbbing ears.
