Lester's Notes

Chapter 9

JE owns them she is generous and lets us share them

Steph and I had the early shift of surveillance on the Stark Street for Alonso B. Treat. He was wanted for kidnapping and rape. I had brought along snack size bags of Cheetos, Potato Chips, Nachos, Pretzels, fun size

Snickers bars, Baby Ruth bars, and a MM pound bag. I also had a cooler of water (for me) Coke and Dr Pepper. I brought all of this along to keep Steph occupied and not twitchy. I had also studied up on all the verbal games I could think of and lined up my questions mentally for the inevitable game of Truth or Dare and Twenty Questions. Sitting at a stakeout with Steph was mentally challenging.

A red 2010 Corvette rumbled by, not uncommon on Stark Street

"Hot Car" yelled Stephanie

"You got that right Beautiful; it is truly a hot car"

A few minutes later a 1956 Turquoise Chevy road by with ear shattering Rap.

"Hot Car" yelled Stephanie

"Yeah Beautiful it's a hot car but it is more a classic car"

"Do you want some candy little girl…."

"God Lester I hope you don't use that line to pick up women …it's creepy!"

I turned and smiled at her and pretended to twirl my moustache like you used to see in cartoons.

She burst out laughing "Lester, no one would ever take you for a villain!"

"That's my charm Beautiful no one would every suspect me of being a bad ass. But, I guarantee I can be a lethal bad ass but never with you Beautiful."

"You know Lester, I trust you with my life."

A black Lamborghini passed by. "Hot Car!" yelled Stephanie

"Not Now Beautiful, our FTA just went into his house. Let's call for backup."

Tank and Ranger pulled up and we got out of the SUV. Ranger made sure Steph's vest was on and strapped properly and her gun was loaded. Tank and I went around back and Ranger and Steph went up the front steps.

Ranger knocked on the door and no one answered. Alonso ran out the back right into the waiting arms of Tank. He was cuffed and more or less dragged to the front and secured in Tank's SUV Ranger and Tank took off for the Cop Shop.

Steph yelled "Hot Car!" pushed me down, and rolled me under a bush with her on top.

I was stunned and said "Beautiful, we should really wait till we are alone."

"Lester, you are an ass!"

Our SUV was totally engulfed in flames and next thing I knew it was exploding.

Note: When Beautiful shouts "HOT CAR" she means the car is hot it is going to burst into flames.
