Previously on Miranda Rights and April Fights:
The sound of the door opening interrupted any further musing I had, and Morelli came stomping in looking really pissed (a look I am becoming familiar with), and another man following right behind him who looked suspiciously like…
"Ranger?"
"Right now I'm Carlos Manoso." A secretive grin appeared on face. (And what a gorgeous face it is.)
"What?...why?...huh?"
"I'm your attorney Babe."
I took a good look at my "attorney" and saw that business Ranger was just as hot as badass Ranger. He was still wearing black of course, it's just that it looked like his clothes were made by brands that have hard names to pronounce. And while Ranger's personality may be hard to put into words, his appearance sure isn't. In fact I'll come up with a few words right now. Hot. Sexy. Gorgeous. Beautiful. Amazing…did I mention sexy?
Focus Stephanie you are still under arrest.
Oops, sorry I forgot about that. Ranger tends to do that to a girl. Speaking of the devil…
"Ranger—"
"It's Carlos to you now Babe."
"Fine, Carlos what are you doing here?"
"As I have mentioned to you before Ms. Plum, I am your legal consult and I am here to defend you in this case that is most truly unfair and improper."
What. The. Hell…
"Uh, Ra—I mean Carlos…you're scaring me."
"Fear not Ms. Plum for I am not the one you should be scared of. I am here to help you, and I assure you that all will be well and settled soon." Carlos smiled down at me and I saw the unhidden amusement in his eyes.
Jerk. He actually thinks this is funny. Okay it is a little funny, but I bet he wouldn't laugh if he were the one in handcuffs. (Well if I had him in handcuffs laughter wouldn't be the sound that you would hear)
Ranger turned around to Morelli and I watched as his back stiffened and his fist clenched.
"Officer Morelli, would you please excuse us. I need to talk to my client in private. I'll call you when we are done."
I didn't even need to see Ranger's face to know what he looked like. I could imagine the lines around his dark eyes as he glared at Joe. His lips in a thin line as he voiced those words in that cold and deep voice. And his eyes in that deliciously dark color that would turn menacing upon enemies but look passionately into mine…well right before they went black.
Oh yes, I could easily imagine what he looked like, because it was always hard for me to forget what had been in my dreams.
I saw Morelli stiffen at Ranger's words, and after giving both of us a heated glare he turned around and walked out the door.
After several silent moments I opened my mouth to ask Ranger what was going on but he looked at me and spoke first.
"Now Ms. Plum, it has come to my attention that you are in need of some legal advice, and I suggest we get down to business."
"Ranger, why are you acting like this?"
"Again Ms. Plum, I am Carlos to you. And again Ms. Plum, you need me so I came here."
"But…why?..I mean you…"
"Stephanie, look at me." Hesitantly I looked into his eyes and instead of his blank face I see emotions…unreadable to me…but there they were, and they were just as beautiful as he was.
"I told you from the beginning that I will always be there for you and help you in any way I can. I made that promise to you, and I am a man of my word."
He gave me an almost smile, and I gave him more of my heart.
"But why do I have to call you Carlos?"
"Well other than the fact that is sounds beautiful coming out of your mouth," Don't blush. And whatever you do don't stare at his body…okay, maybe a little peek. "I decided to be a little professional during this."
Ah…so that's why he was acting like that…
"Just remember Babe one thing. I'm still your Ranger." My Ranger…that sounds really nice.
"I just carry a briefcase now."
Morelli has got to be the stupidest man I have ever met.
And believe me I have met a lot of stupid people.
Alongside those stupid people I have come across a lot of dangerous people too, but that is expected when you have the same work experience as I do. Out of all of those dangerous people though only one stands out the most. That one person is Stephanie Plum. My laughter, my peace and my one and only Babe. And at this moment my client.
Now while Stephanie may not know how to properly shoot a gun. (Hell, she keeps it in a damn cookie jar. How she thinks that will help her in the business I will never know.) And many people who know her probably think she is more of a danger to herself than to others. Despite all that though, she is a danger to me in a way none of all my other enemies were a danger to me.
She is a danger to my heart.
That's right Carlos Manoso, the man of steal with no emotions and an enemy of all, has finally found his heart.
And then he gave it away.
He had finally found it and he gave it away.
Just like how he finally found someone and he pushed her away.
No more.
Never again.
The bastard cop is throwing away the only thing I live for and I'll be damned if I ever give her back. I have never been a prayerful man, but thank God that Morelli is stupid.
The man (if you could call him that) doesn't even realize that he is making my job a whole lot easier.
I had my men watching her (you can never be too careful) and they called me immediately to tell me what Morelli did. I could have gotten her out of it before they even reached the station, but my instincts were telling me not to. Don't be mistaken, I will not let my Babe go to jail. I just think that I can use this situation and Morelli's lack of common sense to my advantage.
After all, they don't call me an opportunist for nothing.
