New Bombshell
Lester and I went out and stopped at a few of the contacts they had on the lookout. No one had seen Stovik. We drove around Stark Street, Limeing, and then went into the Hamilton Township where it was reported that he was staying with a nephew. He had been seen driving a dark blue '90 Ford Tempo. I figured that would be easy to spot, since there aren't too many Tempos around anymore. My first car I ever got was a '91 Tempo, candy apple red, when I graduated highschool in 1994
We didn't see the car at his nephew's house so we headed back to check out a couple more contacts. I was getting antsy, I wanted this psycho dead or back behind bars. By 10:30 pm we were back at Haywood. We had paid attention the whole evening, we never once had a tale and never did run across the Tempo.
Ranger, Bobby and Tank were standing in the garage when we got out of my truck. They didn't look happy.
"Care to explain, Santos?" Ranger said , his arms crossed over his chest.
"Let them hear the message, Peaches."
I'm glad I deleted the other two messages, wouldn't want Ranger to know I knew about Steph being pregnant before he did. I went to my messages, put it on speaker and hit play. Everyone's face went blank.
"Confrence room, now." Ranger said, pulling out his cell phone. I heard him say 'Babe' into his phone, he was calling Steph.
We took our seats in the Conference room, a few minutes later Stephanie and Lula came into the room. They took their seats and Ranger started going over his plan of action.
Stephanie, Lula and I would go out to the club having a girls night out. Lester would show up and we would have a fight. After the fight I head to the bathroom, alone. Ranger would have his guys placed through out the club, I will be wired for sound and have a GPS on me. The plan was to make a large production of it and get Stovik's attention. I was willing to go with the plan, Steph didn't look convienced.
"You sure you want me to do this, Carlos?" Stephanie asked Ranger.
"I won't let anything happen to you, Babe. I promise", He replied. Steph nodded.
Ranger asked us girls to go get ready that we had a hour to meet back in the Confrence room. Ranger picked up the phone as we left making some additional arrangments I am sure. I was really curious about how they were legally going to capture this guy. I hadn't reported the problem to the police. Offier Costanza was still trying to get me to dump Lester and go out with him. I adored Carl, don't get me wrong, but the spark wasn't there that I had with Lester.
I got dressed in a pair of faded jeans and a long purple tank style shirt that had a droopy neck line that showed plenty of clevage, wrapped a thick silver slanted belt around my waist and finished off with a pair of silver strappy sandals with 3 inch heels. I was doing my make-up when Lester came into the bathroom. He was dressed in tight faded blue jeans and a white t-shirt tucked in with the sleeves rolled up to mid biceps. He looked yummy.
"I need to wire you, Peaches." He held up the little mic and transmitter.
I unbuckled my belt and pulled my shirt up. He placed the mic in my bra, just under my left breast and taped the transmitter to the side of my left breast almost under my arm, but still hidden from veiw. I had went through this several times before when we did some undercover work. He handed me a black credit card that I knew to be a company credit card.
"This is your GPS unit. It is disguised as a credit card. I know you carry your wallet on you so put it in your wallet in your pocket and we won't lose you." He said with a smile then kissedd me, "I won't let anything happen, Peaches, I promise you." Just like Ranger told Stephanie in the
I thought now was as good a time as any to ask Lester about how they were going to capture Stovik, legally.
"Ranger has everything in order, he has a few contacts on the police force that are going to do the actual aressting. Ranger and I talked to the police already and they got a guy that working with us. When he is arrested he will be charged with aggravated harassment and violation of probation. Obviuosly is armed, one of our contacts saw a gun on him."
"As long as all the bases are covered, that all I care. I want this guy out of my life!" I told Lester grabbing him in a hug. His mouth crashed down on mine. When the kiss broke, Lester leaned his forehead to mine, looked into my eyes.
"No one has ever made me feel like I do when I am with you, Molly. I love you."
I felt like crying, but he continued. I guess he could see my eyes watering up, "We are going to have an argument tonight, I want you to know, what ever I say isn't the truth. I want you to get mad at me, punch me, scream at me. Make it believeable and when we get home, I'm going to make the sweetest most passionate love to you."
I felt my panties get very moist and my nippples stiffened. His voice was so rough and sexy when he said it. I wanted it right then and there. I bite my lower lip as I looked into his dialated eyes and nodded slightly.
"Come on Peaches, lets meet everyone in the Confrence room." I picked up my wallet put the credit card in a slot and slid it in my back pocket. Took Lester's hand and headed to meet everyone.
Steph was wearing a short black leather skirt with a red tube top. I guess she wanted to wear it before she couldn't anymore. Lula was wearing a bright yellow spaghetti strap dress that hugged all her curves. The yellow really stood out against her dark skin. All the guys were dressedd casual, I guess to blend in with the club crowd.
There was several TPD officers present in the conference room, one detective who was in charge of my case that Lester reported for me. Detective Morelli. Apparently Morelli and Steph had a history together, the were yelling and screaming at each other continously.
"Shut the Fuck up, Joe! You are not the boss of me, never was. Just fucking drop it!" Stephanie slammed her hand on the table.
"Jeez, Steph, you know how dangerous this guy is, you were going after him yourself six months ago. I still care enough for you that it would kill me to see you lose your baby because of an asshole like this." Joe was trying to reason with her.
"Morelli! She is my wife, my baby, my responsiblity. You have your own wife and child to worry about. Leave Stephanie in my hands for change, where she belongs." Ranger spat out, "We don't have time for this bullshit!"
Once we were in the club, ShaZam!, Steph, Lula and I were sitting at a table near the dance floor. I had a Strawberry Daiquri, Lula had a Mojito and Steph had Sprite. We danced a few songs. A really cute guy wanted to dance with me so I didn't refuse, figured it would fuel the fire in Lester's act. The guy's name was Greg, he was about 5'9", blonde hair, blue eyes, lean athletic body. He danced really well. Lester came up behind me and jerked me a way from Greg. Let the fight begin! DING DING
Lula held Greg back from trying to get to me. Lester yelled and screamed.
"What the fuck Molly, I trusted you." He yelled.
I yelled back, "If you trusted me, why the fuck did you follow me?"
"I didn't follow you, the guys brought me here for my bachelor party since you and me are getting married in couple days, and here you are dancing with this fucking nerd."
I slapped Lester across the face and took off to the bathroom, crying my eyes out, only because I slappedd him. Before I got to the bathroom a hand reached out and grabbed my arm.
"Come with me Miss Baker." The man was young about my age. He had dark hair and bloodshot, grey eyes. He was about 5'11" and stocky. He had such a strong grip on my arm, I couldn't pull away.
"Who are you, where are you takin' me?" I cried out.
"I have a friend who wishes to speak with you." The guy said, pulling me out of a back exit.
When we got out of the back door, I about fainted. My old truck, my Blazer was parked out back. I gave it to the repair shop because once they got it fixed, I already had the Sport Trac from Ranger. In the passenger seat was Daniel Stovik. Bullet hole in the middle of his head. DEAD! That was a relief. I needed the guys to know what I was seeing.
"He is dead right?" I asked the stranger.
"Deader than dead, sweet cheeks." He put his arm around my shoulders. "I'm Chris Stovik, Daniel's nephew."
"You killed your uncle? Why?"
"You killed my uncle, your truck, your gun." I cut him off at the gun.
"I had all my guns locked up in my apartment, you don't have my gun."
He pulled out a 9MM from under the seat. It was my husband's old 9MM.
"Where did you get that!" I reached for it, then thought better of it, my fingerprints weren't on that gun, I never touched it, only saw it.
"It was under the driver seat in a hideaway compartment.", He said, admiring the gun.
Leave it to my husband to hide a gun in my truck.
"That was my husband's gun. I never fired or held that gun, I have no prints on it, only my husband's prints and he has been dead for a year." I tried to be as smug as I could be.
And at that moment, Lester, Ranger, Morelli and the uniformed cops came out guns drawn.
"Put the gun down and your hands up." Morelli said stepping forward, his gun pointed at Chris.
Chris pulled me to him put the gun to my head.
I started crying, "No! Lester!"
"You fire, Santos, the bitch gets it!" Chris said.
Lester dropped his gun, "Let her go, Chris, Please."
"Make Rambo and the cops drop their guns."
Lester looked to Ranger and Morelli. Morelli nodded to the uniforms. They all dropped their guns and kicked them away.
"Molly!" I heard Steph shout from behind us. Chris turned and his grip loosened, I fell to the ground and Steph fired 5 shots. Chris Stovik fell to the ground firing a stray round hitting the wall of the building housing the club. About that time 2 patrol cars pulled up, Carl and another uniform got out of the cars, guns drawn. Lester was on the ground, holding me. Chris Stovik next to us dead 5 shots to the chest.
"Chris and I went to high school together, we were very close. He was always jealous of me because I got all the girls. Are you ok, Peaches." Lester spoke softly brushing my hair from my face, stroking my cheeks.
I was shaking, scared, but physically ok, I nodded yes. Lester kissed me softly on the lips. "Let's get this all over with."
We gave our statements and watched as the crime scene unit processed the scene. I was told I could have my husband's gun back after everything was processed. They offered me the truck back, but I told them I had signed it over to the auto garage. Aparently, Chris worked at the garage and stole the truck when he found out it was mine. I still refused.
It was 3am when we got back to the apartment. We were both dead tired. We took a shower together and then climbed into bed.
"I know I promised some incredible love making when we got back," Lester started, but I cut him off.
"It can wait 'til we are both better rested." I kissed his lips softly, but he held me closer making the kiss a little more demanding.
He pulled back first, "I love you, Molly."
"I love you, too, Lester."
EPOLOUGE: Two Years Later
It has been a little over 2 years since I started my new life. I have a great job, some great friends and a new family.
Stephanie had Ranger Jr. in November. We call him C.J., Carlos Jr. I found out 2 months after Stephanie that I was pregnant and Lester and I welcomed Camelia Rose into the world in Feburary. We call her Cami. Lester and I got married on New Years Eve. It was great. My friends all came up to New Jersey and of course my mother came as well. Carl gave up on me when I announced I was pregnant and we agreed to stay friends seeing he was the first person I met when I arrived in Trenton.
Stephanie and I were in the new nursery of the Rangeman building. Who needs three confrence rooms anyways. Both Stephanie and I watched our babies playing together, hands on our once agian pregnant bellies.
"They are getting so big", Stephanie commented watching 13 month old C.J. and 11 month old Cami building block towers and knocking them down.
"Yeah, and they look like their fathers more everyday." I laughed.
Stephanie laughed, "I swear C.J. keeps raising his eyebrow everytime I change his diaper." I laughed.
I felt the baby boy in my stomach kick,"Hey, stop that!", I yelled at my belly.
Cami looked at me and said "Ma Ma".
"It's ok princess, go back to your blocks." I told her.
Stephanie laughing. "She is younger than C.J. but she is talking first, go figure."
"Think about who his father is, master of the mono-syllable conversation." We both laughed.
Stephanie and I have become the best of friends, going through two pregnancies together, working together , even fighting crime together. The guys at Rangeman dubbed us the Wonder Twins. I haven't been fully briefed on the superhero comments, but I am sure there is a great story behind that. I will have to say, I proud of myself, I moved on, moved up and having a great time. I made some awesome friends and gained a great new family. Life can't get much better than that.
I really hope no one is disapointed, I may do some oneshots that fill in some blanks for the elapsed time in this story. Thanks for reading!
