Steph sat outside Harris's house for over a half hour before she worked up the courage to go knock on the door. This guy was bonded out for lower than normal compared to his charges, causing the file to fall in her lap. Harris was at least six feet tall and 250 lbs. She normally would have asked one of the Merry Men for back up, but after Ranger got hurt this morning, she did not want to risk anyone else.
Steph unclipped her stun gun and positioned it in the front of her pants then grabbed her pepper spray to have it close by. Steph knocked on the door two times before she saw the curtain in the front window move. A few moments later, the door in front of her was ripped open, and one of the nastiest men she ever saw stood in front of her.
"Hey, honey, I did not order a girl for tonight, but I think I could have a lot of fun with you," he sneered.
Steph was so repulsed by Harris that she thought she might have thrown up in her mouth a little. Trying to keep some space between them, she explained that she was in fact there because he missed his court date. Harris freaked out and lunged at Steph. Being so much larger than Steph, he had an unfair advantage and knocked her off the steps and to the ground. Not considering the momentum himself, Harris fell forward also and landed on top of Steph, forcing all the air from her lungs. After being momentarily stunned, Steph started to fight back. She took a couple hits to her stomach and legs, but managed to deflect any hits from her face.
Steph started to use some of the techniques that Matt had taught her the other day and punched Harris so hard in the face that she heard his nose shatter, blood squirting everywhere. Harris rolled off her, holding his nose and screaming. Not waiting a second longer, she reached for her stun gun and gave Harris a round of electricity. Just for good measure, she hit him again with the stun gun. Steph looked at Harris and then at the Buick sitting at the curb. Figuring Harris was too large to move on her own, she headed for the car and backed it up and drove up on Harris's front lawn. She pulled as close as she could get to him without running him over. She then opened the backseat doors and propped Harris up against the door frame. After getting his upper body in the car, she then ran back around and pushed his lower body into the door. Making sure his feet were clear of the door, she shut the door and went back around to the other side. Steph straightened Harris out a little more then handcuffed him before taking off to the station. Once at the station, she pulled around back and buzzed for some help. The same young clerk from earlier showed up at the door to help. Steph got Harris into the clerk's station and waited for her receipt. "Where is everyone today? This place is empty."
"Oh, there was a truck on fire a few blocks over, and apparently, they cannot get it under control. The firefighters aren't sure what was used to start the fire. Most of the guys have been over there keeping crowd control for the last few hours."
"Oh, wow."
Steph grabbed the receipt and wheeled around and headed back to her car, trying to keep the smile off her face. She figured she had a good idea whose truck the clerk was speaking of and what started the fire.
Steph finally got home and ran a hot bubble bath. She realized how sore she was from her run in with Harris and hoped that a warm bath would help. She wished she also had time for a nap but knew if she wanted to be on time to meet Ranger, then she better not.
Steph spent over an hour in the tub relaxing, shaving and exfoliating. She finished washing her hair and rinsed off before exiting the tub.
Steph wrapped the towels around her and went to her room to find something to wear while she let the steam out of the bathroom. She had gone shopping almost two months ago with Mary Lou and found some really nice dresses that were nothing like her distraction gear. She pulled out a long black dress that ended just passed her ankles. The dress was made of silk and hugged her curves and accented her features. The dress had inch and a half straps, and the front dipped down to show off some of her cleavage in a very classic appearance. She pulled out matching black FMPs that had only three inch heels to keep with the classic but conservative appearance. Next, Steph headed to her dresser and found a brand new matching set of black lace bra, thong and garter belt she had found at Victoria Secret on her last shopping trip but did not get a chance to wear before tonight. She left everything laying on her bed and headed back towards the bathroom to fix her hair and makeup.
Steph fixed her hair in soft curls that hung down her back and decided to go light on her makeup. She wanted to go understated with her makeup, and keeping it light gave her a fresher appearance. Finished in the bathroom, she headed back into the bedroom to get dressed.
Steph stood in the room looking at her reflection in the mirror. The reflection she saw was way better than she expected. She looked like she was going to a charity event rather than to a simple dinner. She was very happy with her overall appearance and put on her black pea coat that she only used for very fancy occasions, grabbed her clutch, and headed out the door.
