Chapter 21: Served

Sabrina held Peters hand as they walked out of the restaurant happily talking about their honeymoon plans when she looked up and tensed. Feeling her body stiffen Peter went on alert and looked up to see the same dick head who'd been bothering her she had been rescued. His fists clenched as he moved to stand in front of Sabrina, "Get the hell away from her."

Zion smiled, "Go ahead and hit me. I'm not doing anything wrong."

"We filed a restraining order, you're not allowed within 500 feet of us, our home or make contact," Sabrina stood up ready to call the police if need be not wanting Peter to get into trouble.

"I haven't received any notice saying that."

Sabrina pulled out her cell phone and dialed Lt. Davis's number, "I'll just make a quick phone call and an officer can come right here and give you that notice."

The phone rang four times before he answered, "Davis."

"Lt. Davis this is Sabrina Sharp," she said keeping her eye on Zion as her other hand held onto Peters shoulder.

"How are you?"

"Not so well, you see that reporter I filed a restraining order against just came up to me outside The Vine. He's still here says he doesn't have to stay away."

Carl sighed, "Stay on the phone with me. I'll check with dispatch see if he has been served his copy yet. I'm also going to have a uniform meet you."

"Thank you," she watched as Zion rocked back on his hips.

"While we're waiting maybe you could answer a couple questions for me," he grinned. Peter took a step towards him but Sabrina pulled him back silently pleading for him to let it go.

"Just ignore him Sabrina," Carl could hear from the phone. "It looks like he hasn't been served with the paperwork as of yet. Don't worry Sabrina I have a uniform on the way he should be there in 5 minutes or so."

"Thank you," she leaned into Peter, "He hasn't been served the papers yet so he isn't breaking the law yet. But there is an officer coming to inform him now."

Peter kept his eyes on Zion who was looking at his watch, "If you're not going to talk to me right now Sabrina then I should get going there are so many other people to talk to."

"Why?" Handing the phone to Peter she stepped out from behind him, "Why are you so following me? Why can't you just leave me alone?"

"You have information I want," he shrugged his shoulders. "It's that simple, the sooner you answer me the sooner I'll leave you and your hubby here alone."

"How do you live with yourself?" She didn't want to talk to him but she knew if he left he might not be served the papers and he could legally keep showing up bothering her.

"I'm great company," he looked over his shoulder as he saw a patrol car pulling to a stop a few yards down.

Sabrina waved her hand in the air, "Over here." As the young officer got out of his car and made his way over towards them Sabrina looked at the reporter with a look of disgust, "Now you will leave me alone or you can live with yourself in a jail cell."

The officer took down her name and information and then turned his attention to Mr. Zion having been informed there was an injunction in place it just hadn't been served. While the officer explained the injunction to Zion and the repercussions of violating it Peter wrapped Sabrina in his arms and left.

The officer gave his speech telling him he couldn't go near Sabrina, not without getting thrown in jail anyways. He knew she had to know something about this Kostan character, he had followed her to the PI's office and knew they had a connection with Kostan. He couldn't approach her but he still had plenty of other woman to talk to, women that were more psychologically compromised.

Beth was sitting in her office with Mick going over more information on Zion yet again trying to get inside his mind when her phone began to ring. "Hey Carl," she stood up and headed towards Mick making it easier for him to listen in.

"Beth just thought I'd give you a heads up. That reporter creep, we fined him with falsely identifying himself as an officer but that's all we could do given what we had."

"That's something anyways," she sighed.

"I also just got off the phone with Sabrina Sharp," he knew he shouldn't be telling Beth this but she and Mick had been big assets in many cases and he knew he could trust her.

"Is she okay?" Beth immediately became worried about her.

"She filed a restraining order against the reporter but called when he was bothering them outside a restaurant. He hadn't been served the papers so he wasn't breaking the law then but I had a patrolman head there and make sure he was informed so next time he'll spend the night in lock up."

"I doubt a restraining order will back him off but it's a good start. Thanks Carl."

"Hey you know the drill you didn't hear this from me. But if there's anything I need to know…remember you aren't a cop Beth."

Beth grinned, "I know, he's a sick jerk who has no regard for boundaries."

Carl chuckled, "That he is. Bye Beth."

Beth disconnected the line looking at Mick, "He's right you know."

Mick raised one eyebrow as he looked at her, "About?"

"We're not cops. We aren't working on this for the cops so nothing we have needs to be able to stand up in court. This is vampire justice not human justice."

Mick grinned, "What do you have going on in that pretty head of yours?"

"We bug him. We can place some bugs in his place and his car, maybe even slip one on him. It might give us a heads up on what he's thinking and what he has."

"I think you may be right, about his place and the car at least. I'd been thinking I needed to get inside there anyways to see what I could find."

Beth looked at her watch, "It's almost time to pick up Kayla. You're not doing this without me," she gave him a stern look. "I'll call Jean see if she can watch Kayla tonight. It's Friday and they'd talked about her coming over for the night soon." Mick swatted Beth's behind as she moved past him already dialing Jean's number, he was glad to have a lead.
