Chapter 2 – Stephanie

48 hours earlier

Ok that's it, I've had it, I quit. I know I've said it 100 times, but this time I mean it. I was currently laying facedown in a pool of jello and whipped cream because the FTA I was pursuing said she'd only let me take her in if I jello wrestled her. Never wanting to back down from a challenge, and desperately needing the $500 fee I'd receive for her capture, I agreed. Little did I know that Miss Betty Busters was the reigning Trenton jello wrestlers champion. Who knew?

She had me pinned in 10 seconds flat and while I was literally up to my eyeballs in jello, she ran. So now I have no FTA, no money, and no dignity. Maybe the button factory is hiring.

I was trying my best to towel off before getting into my piece of crap car when I suddenly felt the air pressure change. It was Ranger. "Babe," Ranger said. "I can explain," I said. Ranger held his hands up and said "Not necessary." He pulled me to him and touched his tongue to my neck. I got a rush so strong I had to resist the urge to rip his clothes off right there. "Mmm strawberry Jello." And he kissed me.

"Wha wha what's up?" I said, still trying to control my heart

rate. "I'm leaving town for a few days on business," Ranger said. "Tank is in charge so let him know if you need anything." "Ok sure," I said. "Anything I need to know about?" The corner of Ranger's lip twitched into an almost smile. "Nothing I can't handle," Ranger said. "Some clients of mine were robbed and we think we know where the robbers are stashed. These clients are high-end and have certain expectations when it comes to securing their properties and their family. If we don't get these guys it will not be good for me or for Rangeman." "Please be careful," I said. "Always am," Ranger said. "And you stay away from any more jello wrestling matches. Unless they are with me." And he slid into his Porsche and left. "Yea right," I said. Something about Ranger's mission didn't sit well with me, but nothing I could do about it now. I got into my car and motored off towards my apartment. Time for plan b on Miss Betty Busters.
