Authors note: Sorry about the wait it's been spring break and I've been
sick. I am taking a vote, who thinks there should be a "Babykins II"?
Ch.10- The Skirt…returns
Sara was on her way home, thinking to herself peacefully, when her in- helmet phone rang loudly in her ear.
*I knew that was a bad idea. *
She waited to see if it would ring again, or if the annoyance on the other end would hang up. It rang one more time and she decided to pick it up.
"Yeah?" Sara growled into her helmet hoping her hearing wasn't totally blown now
"Hey it's Jake." Said Sara's rookie partner over some others voices in the room
"I guessed that much." She said still a little pissed of about how loud that ringer was
"You wanna come over for a card game tonight…well now?" he asked still trying to yell over the other voices
"I have work tomorrow…and so do you." She reminded him
"No we don't its our day off, remember?" he countered
"That's right, well then in that case count me in. I'll be there in a couple seconds." She said ending the call and making a U-turn back to Jake's apartment.
*I wonder who is all there…please not Dante! *
Sara rode the rest of the way without much thought, just trying to get her game up and running after that little Danny encounter. She got to Jake's apartment and saw some other squad cars there, luckily she didn't see Dante's.
*So far so good. *
She took Babykins out of his saddlebag and walked up to the door. This time she got to knock and the door was answered a little while after. Sara walked in and saw some officers sitting around a table talking and shuffling cards.
"Ok, let's play." Jake said sitting down and getting his poker face on.
Pezzini had to laugh to herself at his "poker face", he looked like a little kid who had eaten too many sour strawberries and was trying to hide it from his mother.
"What's the game?" Sara managed to say instead of laughing
"Seven card stud." Answered Siri, their retired captain
"Ok Jake, deal already." Pez said as she tried to get a strategy into place
She had put Babykins down upon entering and the little puppy had been wondering around ever since. Visiting with Siri, stealing food from the kitchen, looking out the window, and exploring. Once the game got going in full swing Sara forgot about the little puppy. That's when Babykins decided he wanted some attention. Carefully and ever so quietly the dog walked into Jake's room and snuck into the closet that was ever so slightly cracked open. He wondered around looking for his little prize. Babykins found many other things shorts, shirts, old surfboard, stuff like that. After about 5 minutes walking around he found it, the Holy Grail of the closet…the hula skirt! Babykins grabbed the skirt in his mouth and made his way out of the labyrinth. The puppy quietly walked over to the card table with the skirt in his mouth and then barked quit loudly. Sara, Siri, Jake and some of the other officers looked down at the puppy.
"Oh! I see he found you skirt Jake!" Sara said louder then she needed to
"What are you talking about Pez?" Jake asked trying to hid the fact he was turning red
Jake jumped up grabbed the skirt and took off for his closet. Sara took this chance to tell the other officers about Jake's hula dancing obsession, and they loved it. When Jake returned a little less red but still obviously embarrassed the party broke up. Sara took her dog and left. The ride home was calm and nothing really crossed Sara's mind, she was too tired to think tonight. All she wanted to do was get home and crawl into her warm bed. She got home and stopped her bike; Babykins jumped out and waited for Sara at the door. She opened the door and let herself and her puppy in. Sara went back out and got the doggy stuff she bought. Once she was back inside she put some dog food and water down; the puppy was too tired to even touch them. Next she put down his bed and the mutt walked over a collapsed inside in a deep sleep. Sara changed and followed her puppy's lead; she walked over to her bed and lay down.
" 'Night, Babykins." Sara said half asleep already
All she heard was the soft breathing of her puppy that let her know that the dog was fur sure asleep. Sara's eyes closed like two dimming lights as she slowly drifted off to sleep.
