Chapter 11 Writing on the Wall
Lester hung up his phone and walked back over to where Stephanie and Angel stood, watching the firemen put out the fire. Angel was stuck on Stephanie's side, and Stephanie had an arm around her.
"Zero and Manny will be here in a bit," Lester said, once he was with Stephanie and Angel, "we have to go to Rangeman. it may not be too safe at your apartment Beautiful."
Stephanie, by now, would be pitching a fit, but one look at Angel's shivering form had her nodding her head in agreement, after all, who in their right mind would try to attack Angel in a building full of highly trained military men? A fool, that's who.
"Okay, I guess we'll go to Rangeman tonight. We need to go by my apartment to pick up some stuff," Stephanie said to Lester, just as the boys in blue came over to the three.
"Hey Steph, blew another car up, I won the pool," Carl said with a smile, making Stephanie wither, "geez, you and your magical ways with cars."
"If you could have only waited one more day to blow up a car, I would have won the pool, it was a big one too almost 3k!" another cop said.
Lester placed a hand on Stephanie's shoulder, turned to the cops and opened his mouth, but Angel beat him to it.
"You all are meanies! Stephanie could have been in the car when it went off like that!" Angel snapped walking up to the group, "would you doing that betting then?!"
The group looked at Angel, and then one said, "Isn't that the slow one Stephanie's watching?"
Angel bristled and said, "I'm not slow, I have am-am-amnesia!" she walked right up to Carl, and poked a finger in his chest, "Listen up buddy! You are going to stop making my Stephanie feel bad, and you are going to end all the betting! In fact, gimme the money, if you want to bet on Stephanie, then Stephanie should get the money!"
Carl opened his mouth to complain, but Lester walked up to them and said with a glare, "Do what the lady told you to do, you don't want any problems now?"
Carl huffed, but gave Angel the envelope of money. Angel smiled and said, "Thank you butt heads." Turning to go off to Stephanie.
"Here Stephanie, will this make you happy?" Angel asked, holding out the envelope to Stephanie, waving her hands up so the woman could take it., "It's an awful lot of money."
Stephanie smiled and said softly, "You are a good friend Angel," hugging Angel tightly.
Angel smiled brightly, she then turned to the cops and snapped, "You're cops right? Then you're supposed to protect and…uh…serve! Not to make bets against the people that need you the most, you meanies!"
Lester made tsking sounds and said, "You big meanies, if I ever hear or see another one of those bets going on, I will come down and tell you once again that we don't like it when you bet on beautiful…got it?"
Carl nodded his and said, "Yes sir, no more bets."
Two black rangeman vehicles rolled up beside the wreck, and Zero and Manny pop out of them both. They gave the wreck a look and then went over to the three, asking if they were alright. Once they got the confirmation that they were fine, the got into one Rangeman SUV and were gone.
"Ladies, your carriage awaits," Lester said wrapping an arm around both women, and leading them to the waiting SUV.
Angel turned and looked at the stunned cops, "MEANIES!"
(~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~)
"You're a very good friend," Stephanie said to Angel as they left the elevator to go to Stephanie's apartment, "you stuck up for me in ways no one has ever done, even Ranger hasn't done what you did."
Angel frowned and said, "But…you love him right, and he loves you, he should stick up for you always, because, that's what people in love do. Right?"
"That's what supposed to happen," Stephanie said unlocking her apartment door and opening it, "I don't think Ranger loves me, in his own way, that's what he says."
Angel shook her head and looked into the apartment and gasp, "Stephanie! Your apartment!"
Stephanie looked inside and put a hand over her mouth. She had been ransacked, or something. Everything had been destroyed. Nothing had been untouched. The couch had been up ended, the curtains were ripped, everything. The crazy part about all this was the claw marks on the walls and counters. Stephanie ran over to the kitchen counter and sighed seeing Rex in his soup can, shaking. She took his cage, and set it outside her apartment door, where Angel stood, her eyes wide. She was pointing at something on the wall that the couch had once sat. Stephanie turned and saw that in red paint, no, it had a metallic smell to it, blood, it was blood! There, on the wall, written in blood was; "I found you red riding hood!"
Stephanie turned and saw Angel back away from the door, her hands on her ears, eyes wide in horror. "Angel it's okay, Angel!"
"Oh you're so tight!" A voice grunted in her ear, as she was violently used, "Thought those men were giving it to you every day!"
She was screaming, it was so painful, she was going to break. "Too big! You're too big! Stop!" she was crying loudly in agony, trying to break free from the shackles they had on her wrist.
"Shut up whore!" the voice grunted, and then a hand slapped her face, "Soon, the big bad wolf will have you, and if you think I'm bad, he's the devil himself!"
"Stop! No more! Stop it!" She screamed, "NO!"
Stephanie held onto Angel as she screamed, struggling to break free from Stephanie, "Angel it's okay! It's just me!"
"No! it hurts!" Angel shrieked, "it's too big! I'll break!"
Stephanie gripped Angel's wrist in one hand and then she slapped her cheek with her free hand. Angel stopped screaming, her eyes still wide. She turned to Stephanie and then wailed, "The bad pictures, they're in my head again!" burying her head in Stephanie's chest, "Make them stop! Make them stop!"
"Holy shit, Beautiful, Darling!" Lester said, running up the stairs, and going over to them, "What the fuck happened?!"
"Someone broke into my house, ransacked it, the writing on the wall, it must have triggered something, Angel started to scream," Stephanie said, as Angel gripped her tightly, "I think we just need to go, she's needs something to calm her down."
Stephanie helped Angel up and over to the elevator, while Lester picked Rex's cage up and looked inside the apartment. What kind of animal did this?! Lester's eyes landed on the writing on the wall, and he had to shudder. A freak wrecked this place, no doubt about it. he took in the claw marks and then closed and locked the apartment door.

"AUNTIE JEANNE!" Sammy screamed running up to hug Jeanne, "Auntie Jeanne! Uncle C.! Da!"
Jeanne smiled and caught the toddler, twirling her around, "And how are you Sammy?"
"Good, Aunt Celia and me made cookies every day!" Sammy said hugging Jeanne, "Can we go inside and get some?"
Diesel nodded his head and said, "But we can't stay long, we're going to see a Ranger's friend."
"Okay, come on Auntie Jeanne, they're sugar and pinwheels," Sammy said as Jeanne carried her into the house.
Well, at least good one thing came from the coupling of her Queen and Diesel; Sammy. After that night she caught the Queen with Diesel and Ranger, she thought it would be the last of those two.
Boy, was she wrong, they made an impression on the lonely Queen.
"My Queen, you are in so much trouble!" Jeanne hissed, once they were back in the lavish rooms of the Queen, "You won't be able to gain access to the courtyard for a month!"
The Queen hummed softly, holding a wooden box to her chest. She opened the box and peered in, taking out a baggie full of dried up leafs. She smiled and said, "This is weed Jeanne, apparently they were out to smoke it!"
"THEY WHAT?!" Jeanne said getting up from her spot, a soft sitting chair, "I'll have their heads for this, high class contraband, they'll be kicked out so fast that-"
"You won't kick them out," The Queen said, sitting on a chaise chair, "in fact, return this to the teacher, what is his name?"
"Diesel," Jeanne sneered, looking at the Queen, as though she had blown a few fuses in her head, "And why would I return this stuff to them, my Queen."
"Because it belongs to them, Diesel, and his student," The Queen said with a smile, "They were the first people, beside you and the council, to ever talk to me! it does get lonely being locked in this gilded cage. I've been here since forever Jeanne, give a girl some slack, and do this for me."
The Queen got up and went over to a wooden desk. She sat down and on expensive parchment paper, wrote a note to Diesel. She folded it up, gave it to Jeanne and said, "Give this to him; I want to see them again, please give him this note please!"
Jeanne shook her head but said, "If I get caught, the council is going to ship you off to the temple in Tibet. I'll be back, stay here, okay?"
The Queen squealed and hugged Jeanne, "Thanks Gina, you're a good friend!" pushing Jeanne to the front doors, "Hurry up! Oh don't forget the box, it is his!"
The things I do for you…." Jeanne sighed, before she took the box and the note, and left the Queens' rooms.
Jeanne found Diesel's room empty, so she put the box on the bed, along with the note. She was curious so she read the note. She could hardly believe that her Queen, her sweet innocent Queen had invited them to her chambers for brunch on Saturday!
"They're going to corrupt her!" Jeanne hissed, stomping out the room, "That stupid man and that kid!"
The Queen hugged her tightly once she came back empty handed, "Thank you Jeanne, can you believe it, I'll have friends! Well, you're my friend, but I'll have more friends!"
Jeanne smiled watching the Queen spin around and then stop. She looked over to Jeanne and said, "Oh, but…that's in one day, I have to prepare, maybe something simple to wear, my formal clothes may be too much! Maybe a light summer dress!"
Jeanne sat down on the Queen's massive bed that could cover the first floor of an average house. She watched as the woman went through a wardrobe, looking for something nice to wear. This was going to be a long night…
"Bunch of Baboons," Jeanne muttered to herself at the table they were sitting at, "My poor Queen..."
"I wish mommy was here," Sammy sighed in her father's lap, "I miss her…"
"You'll be meeting a nice woman, named Stephanie Plum," Diesel said to the child, ruffling her long black locks, "She's just as nice as your mommy, she'll love you, and she has a friend named Angel, you won't be lonely at all."
Sammy looked up to Ranger who nodded his head and said, "My Babe will love you."
"Babe?" Jeanne said tearing into the cookies Celia gave her, "she's still your Babe? Thought she would have moved on by now, let me tell you kid, if I had to deal with the kind of shit she has to, you'd have been gone in a second, I love you, but in my own way, bullshit!"
"Bullshit Uncle C.!" Sammy echoed, causing Diesel to glare at Jeanne.
"You're going to have to get that stick out your ass man, and tell her the truth, that you love her, I mean, you have to right? I know you and Diesel and the Queen…" Jeanne started but Diesel put his hands over Sammy's ear and said, "Hush up woman!"
"Whatever," Jeanne said looking at Ranger, "Look, you want this woman, you're going to have to man up, and take her!"
Diesel shook his head and said, "Don't listen to her man, she can't keep a man, she chases them off!"
"Shut up Crackpot!" Jeanne snapped, plucking Diesel on his nose, "You're lucky you're the King, or else I'd do something crazy!"
Sammy giggled and said, "Da, you and Auntie Jeanne are silly!"
Ranger turned to his sister and said, "Celia I hope Sammy wasn't too much of a hassle these three weeks."
Celia smiled and shook her head, "No, I love Sammy, you and Mortimer should bring her around more often! She is an angel! The boys are going to miss her."
Celia kissed Sammy's head and said, "Behave for them, and tell Stephanie I said hi, okay?"
"Kay Aunt Celia, "Sammy said with a smile, "I will! Da? Will mommy be in Trenton too?"
Diesel smiled sadly and said, "I don't think so baby…"
(~~~~~~~~~)
Bobby had to sedate Angel to calm her down. She was sleeping in Ranger's bed, the covers tucked up to her waist. She wouldn't dream tonight. Stephanie shook her head and said, "It looked like an animal came into my apartment and tore it up, and that message was written in blood. I'm scared for Angel, guys."
Tank frowned and said, "Ranger will be back Sunday, he'll know what to do, for now, we'll just keep her on lock down in Rangeman, she'll have access to anywhere, but she needs to stay here."
"Guess that means no going to the movies," Lester sighed leaning back in the couch that was in Ranger's penthouse, "I guess we can do movie night here. I have some old movies she'll love."
"What, like some westerns and Die Hard?" Stephanie teased making Lester blush.
"No, like, some Lord of the Rungs and other stuff, I'm sure she'll have a blast." Lester huffed and then said, "I'll keep her company with you Stephanie."
Tank shook his head and said, "I'm going home, I'll see you both later."
Once Tank left, Lester turned to Stephanie and said, "There are two people after her, it has to be, what in the hell are we going to do?"
Stephanie shrugged and said, "Like Tank said, Ranger will know what to do, plus he bringing friends, I'm sure those friends are strong."
Lester nodded his head and said, "They have to be, I get a feeling the second person after Angel isn't one I'd like to mess with, they clawed up the counters for goodness sake!"
TBC….
