Chapter 34: Delivering a Message PT1

LPOV

What the fuck. I am at my desk, and I see Beautiful pass by heading to the mass of cubicles. I know she has defensive driving training with Vince, Woody and then Tank. I had sort of planned on hanging out with her as Ranger said when she left the building he would like a core team member with her. We had sort of figured since I was her best friend I could sort of tag along without making it look like I was a bodyguard. Of course she knows I would protect her and guard her but it wouldn't feel like I was limiting her, I was effectively just hanging out with my friend and that is true she is my best friend and I love every minute I am with her.

I hear her ask Cal if he wants to go with her this afternoon, and then I hear her ask Slyder, What the fuck? Why didn't she ask her best friend? I can't help but wonder and I can't help the little bit of jealousy that creeps through me thinking that she had asked Slyder over me. I could understand Cal more than Slyder even though truth be told I wasn't exactly happy she picked him over me either.

Feeling slightly hurt I sat there trying to focus on the fucking work in front of me. Binkie had accidentally backed one of our SUVs into a pole while on surveillance way to be aware of your surroundings there Binkie. Not to mention bringing attention to yourself as you hit the pole.

The pole was fine but the SUV well the SUV suffered some damage not a lot but broken tail light, dented bumper to the tone of two thousand forty five dollars. I had the estimate from Al and I needed to approve it so he could get started on the repair. At least he didn't blow the fucking thing up had my beautiful been driving it hitting the pole would have somehow created a spark that would have managed to ignited the gas tank ultimately resulting in blowing up the SUV. Crazy shit like that happened to her all the time.

Just thinking about it made me laugh a little and once again conjured up those feelings of being left out and disappointed that she didn't ask me to go with them. I was getting ready to pick the phone up to call Al's when she called my name.

"Lester?" Looking up she was standing in my doorway. Her bag on her shoulder it seemed like that bag went with her to all of her training sessions. It had sort of become the carry all I didn't even know bags could stretch to hold that much. She had everything in it but the kitchen sink. If she thought there was a remote chance in hell of needing something she had it in that bag. I was beginning to wonder how she continued to pick it up and carry it around but women and their bags they will always confounded me.

I mean how could they need that much stuff? I mean a man carries everything he needs in his pockets we don't need a purse or a bag to carry anything we need. Yeah I know there are man bags but a badass wouldn't be caught dead carrying one. Hell I wouldn't be caught dead carrying a purse unless my Beautiful asked me to. Then I would and only hoped the guys wouldn't see me doing it.

"Yeah Beautiful what's up?" I ask her schooling my voice so I didn't sound too excited after all I wanted her to ask me to go with her but I don't want to come off as a pansy after all I may willingly at times flush my man card for her I don't want to also appear pathetic desperate, I do have some reputation and dignity that needs to be held on to.

"I am going to head out for training with Vince and then Woody I asked Cal and Slyder to join me but thought I would also ask you, are you busy this afternoon?" She said her eyes twinkling.

"Nope not busy at all" I tell her obviously lying as my desk is covered in stuff that needs my attention but it can all fucking wait. Time with my Beautiful is more important especially when she is going to be out of the building and with the things going on I wanted to be with her.

Getting up from my desk I pick up the estimate from Al's and meet her at my door. Cal, Slyder join us as we make our way to the garage to meet Vince.

SPOV

I think my ESP is working better every day or maybe it is just working better with those that are close to me. I don't know. I was asking Cal if he wanted to come with me this afternoon and I could just sense that Lester was hearing me. When I asked Slyder I got a feeling that Lester was disappointed. I just somehow knew it. I could tell I could feel that Lester really wanted me to ask him and didn't understand why I had asked the two over him.

I don't know how I knew it, I don't even know if it was actually true as when I walked up to Lester's office he was busy looking at something and reaching for the phone so I am not sure what I interrupted him doing. But when I asked him he jumped at the chance not too excitedly though but then I knew he lied when he said he wasn't busy. I could see the work on his desk that I knew he was putting off and part of me felt guilty for asking him after seeing that but I still couldn't shake the feeling that he was happy I had asked him sort of as if I had made his day.

Maybe I am way off base or maybe it is because he is my best friend that what I felt was real I don't know. But it makes me happy to make my best friend happy so reasons and why for's don't really matter do they?

We make our way to the garage with Slyder and Cal joining us and Vince is there waiting for us. I see the questioning look on his face as well approach him. I briefly wonder if he thinks I question his ability to protect me after what happened last time we were together alone in the car. But nothing could be further from the truth.

"Vince these guys are going to join us today, I asked Cal because I wanted to spend some time with him since he got shot. I haven't really had much time with him I explained. I asked Slyder because he is new in town and thought maybe he would like to take in some sites while we drive around town." Looking at Lester I say "I asked Lester just cause I think he got his feelings hurt when I didn't ask him and asked Slyder and Cal."

Lester shook his head "I did not" he said like a two year old denies something. I just smiled at him.

"Lester I wanted you to come with us just as much as you wanted to come. You're my best friend, of course I wanted you to come with us." I tell him, allowing him off the hook.

He pulled me to him wrapping his arm around me and plants a kiss on the top of my head. We make our way over to the SUV and all climb in. Slyder, Cal, and Lester in the back, Slyder got the middle seat I guess that is what happens when you are low man on the totem pole that was one crowded back seat but no one complained. I hopped in the driver's seat, Vince hops in the front passenger seat after all he is my instructor this hour.

"So Vince, were to today?" I ask him completely ignoring the back seat passengers I continue "What's on the agenda today what are we going to learn?" I ask him. He just smiles at me.

"Bombshell we are going to drive around both in town, the busy areas, the highway, and even a little rural areas and you are going to work on maintaining distance between yourself and those around you so you always have an exit planned and available should something happen you have an escape route. Meaning you have distance in front, distance beside, distance behind your vehicle. You will find it is hard to control this but there are ways to do it and you will practice some of them and get a feel for it."

I nod and off we went out of the garage we had been driving for maybe twenty minutes when I felt it. Shit, fuck, damn it to hell. What the fuck am I going to do? It can't be, not now, it isn't time. When I pulled up to the next stop light I quickly grab my phone and pull up my period tracker app. I look at my last period dates and sure enough my period wasn't supposed to start now. I still had five more fucking days. I wanted my five fucking days.

You know Mother Nature can be a bitch and today she was giving me a double dose of bitch. I mean fuck not only was she stealing five God damn days from me she had to make it start right now when I am driving around Trenton with four of my brothers who happen to be some of the best looking men Trenton had to offer. What the fuck?

I see Vince looking at me questioning me. Probably wondered why I growled I couldn't help it when I realized I had in fact been robbed of five damn days a part of me was pissed and then add on the top that they are with me and I have no supplies to speak of in my bag or purse. Before the light changed, I quickly double checked on the off chance I had one that had been put in there previously and not needed it but no such luck of course not that would have been too easy.

I was going to have to find a way to pull into a store so I could buy some and then use the restroom without letting them know. I don't want to have to say sorry guys started my period early got to go buy some supplies and then find a bathroom. I mean you can't just tell your brothers stuff like that. That's embarrassing and personal. Hell I didn't even want to tell Carlos or for him to find out but I knew there was no way around that as we wouldn't be having sex for the next several nights at least not until this bitch has left the building.

I am just thanking God Bobby isn't with us he probably would have known it. He would have understood what Period Tracker was and sitting in the back seat he probably would have been able to see me. I was pretty confident that Cal, Slyder and even Lester wouldn't have much of a clue so it wasn't as bad as it could have been.

Food, Food is the one thing they will believe I need and let me go into the store to get. I can tell them that I am having a major craving for Tasty Cakes that I have to have them now. "Guys I am going to drive over to the stop and shop I have a huge craving for some Tasty Cakes. I need them like now." I tell them. I hope they buy it.

"Beautiful I thought you were giving up simple sugars as part of your diet? Your test is coming up in less than a week, you sure you want to binge eat before the test?" He questions me of course he would fucking say that. What the fuck, I am sorry I asked him to come with us now.

"Lester so help me fuck, if you don't shut up and just let me go get a tasty cake so help me God I am going to kick your ass out of this SUV and make you walk the fuck home." Oh man PMS has kicked in. I Instantly felt guilty the moment the words left my mouth but I was a woman on the edge I was a woman on a mission and it really wasn't Tasty Cakes I was after, it was much more important even though now I really wanted the Tasty Cake too now that I had thought about them.

I pulled into the stop and shop and found the first parking spot I could find. I quickly cut the car off grabbing my purse I quickly exited the vehicle and went to make my way to the store noticing all of my brothers had gotten out following me. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. I quickly stop and turn around "Guys you don't need to come with me why don't you just wait in the car, I won't be but a few minutes." I tell them hoping they will turn around.

No such luck, they just kept walking towards me Vince speaking up I think I scared Lester "Bombshell Ranger would have our asses if we let you go in there by yourself and something happened to you. You know you have a stalker." He tells me.

Yeah I know I have a stalker and right now I am more concerned about the potential mess I am making of my clothing than my damn stalker. I like these underwear they are my wonder woman underwear and I want to save them. Fuck. "Guys I seriously doubt my stalker is hanging out in the stop and shop waiting for me to walk in." I tell them that made perfect sense to me as I continue walking backwards towards the store watching them continue to follow me.

They weren't taking no for an answer damn mercenaries I swear sometimes you just wanted to slap the training out of them. "Okay then you can come in but you are not allowed to follow me and you are not allowed to watch me, deal?" I ask them pleading I am grasping at straws here and coming up empty, fuck. I really needed a Tasty Cake now, or maybe a Boston Crème, or maybe some of my favorite two men Ben and Jerry, or maybe some chips, or how about some chocolate yeah pure chocolate that's what I needed.

I was fine an hour ago how the hell did all of this just happen to me? Why does all of this just happen to me? Oh yeah I remember because Mother Nature is a vile bitch from hell that sets out to make every woman's life a living fucking nightmare for one week out of every god damn fucking month of their lives for the best of years of their life. I mean it starts when you are about twelve at least it did for me, and doesn't end until your fifty something if you are lucky and then when it ends could it just leave you in peace? No, you are left with hot flashes, mood swings, body changes, hormone imbalance not to mention your chances of getting osteoporoses like fucking doubles or some shit. I have yet to look forward to that shit.

See how Mother Nature is a vicious life sucking-bitch from which there is no escape well unless you are man and men well they don't have any of these fucking problems, go figure. Adam was just fucking guilty as Eve but no Eve had to be the one that got all the bad stuff. What did Adam get? I tell you what he fucking got a slap on the back probably a form of a congratulatory slap for tapping that. So he got kicked out of heaven and had to start working for shit so did Eve it wasn't like she got to stay there. She got kicked out and had to take her fucking problems with her. Men I hate them.

LPOV

Damn Beautiful's attitude went from happy to bitch in like point zero two seconds. I saw her grab her phone and she looked at something and then growled. I instantly went on alert but she didn't seemed too upset after she put the phone away after looking in her purse for something. I am not sure she found it or not.

When she announced she needed Tasty Cakes I couldn't help but question her about it. She had been so good this past week and you could see the changes to her body. I didn't mean to upset her but when she came back at me she was out for blood. I swear I wasn't expecting that. I once again found myself wondering what was it that she had read on her phone that had her so upset.

I wondered if she had received a text or something or an IM that was upsetting her and she didn't want to tell us about it.

When we pulled into the parking spot she couldn't get out of the vehicle fast enough we were struggling to keep up with her. She tried to get us to wait in the car but I think at this point she had acted strange enough that we all knew something was up something wasn't right she wasn't acting like her normal self. We weren't about to let her go into a store unprotected not when she had a stalker, Morelli, even her mother harassing her it just wasn't going to happen.

I had to smile when she finally caved that we could come in but couldn't watch her or follow her, that sort of defeats our purpose doesn't it? What the hell is going on with her?

She was muttering something but I couldn't make out most of it every now and then I heard bitch, I heard something about nature but wasn't sure what it was about did she want to take a hike or something? I also heard something about someone named Adam but for the life of me I couldn't figure out who Adam was and how Beautiful knew him.

I followed her at a distance keeping my distance as to not to alert her while she was thinking about whatever it was that was going through that Beautiful head of hers. I am sure the others were just as confused as me. I mean I am her best friend I know her better than anyone well almost everyone barring Ranger and I had no idea what was going on with her.

I look over to Slyder and Cal and they both motion to me questioning me what's going on I shrug my shoulders and shake my head I had nothing. I look at Vince and he is just as confused as we are. Women I swear this is why men never know what the hell is going on with them. This is why men never know what to say them or how to say it because they can change gears at warp speed, they can flip on you and you have no idea as to why. I love my beautiful but at this moment not knowing if she is safe not knowing what that phone said and not knowing what she is doing is more than a little nerve wracking.

Keeping my eyes on her only trying to remain hidden from her I watch as she makes her way to the personal hygiene isle of the store where they have the feminine products I mean who labels this shit. What the fuck is a personal hygiene feminine products anyway. I quickly take a look and see her grab a box off the shelf and tuck it under her arm. Taking another quick look I watch as she grabs a small pill box off the shelf just down from the box she grabbed.

She quickly looked around her checking to make sure she was alone I almost got caught watching her. I backed away from the aisle and quickly ducked down the aisle as she made her way up to the front of the store. I watched her walk over to where the Tasty Cakes were and she picked up five tasty cakes. Oh hell she is going to make us all eat one so she won't feel guilty and so she will have another chance to oust us in front of Rangeman. When she got in line I took my chance to go down the aisle I had seen her on. When I saw it was tampons, and Midol she had picked up the pieces all fell together and I almost busted out laughing. Her yelling at me earlier now made perfect sense.

I briefly wondered about the aisle labeling again why not just say tampons and pads? But whatever I grab my phone and send a text to Cal, Slyder, and Vince. 'All Ok, B has a visitor and needed supplies. Watch out PMS is on board.' I am not sure if that was the thing to say or not. I remember my mom always saying she had a visitor when I was growing up. For a while I would look for someone to visit and never understood how she could say she had a visitor when no one was visiting but as I grew up and learned about the birds and the bees I figured it all out.

Why Beautiful felt like she just couldn't tell us I don't know. I mean we are grown men who have known about the birds and the bees for a long time now we had all had girlfriends we were fully aware of 'that time of the month' and what it meant for women and we also knew to avoid them like the plaque during it and not get in their way or piss them off if we valued our lives.

I walked up to the guys and you could see the laughter in their eyes even though they were schooling their bodies. They wanted to laugh at the extent she wanted to go to cover this up. Like we wouldn't understand her situation, hell had she told us we probably wouldn't have made an effort to join her inside but because we didn't know what was going on we weren't going to take any unnecessary chances.

SPOV

Whew I had made it down the checkout without them seeing. Placing my purchases minus the Tasty Cakes in my purse I made my way over to the guys. I handed Lester the bag with the cakes in it "I need to run to the restroom really quickly but grab us some drinks and we can eat these in the car." I tell them.

Lester nods and I head towards the bathroom to take care of my little problem. I was washing my hands when in walked Joyce the Barnyard slut of Trenton, or better known as Ass Fuck.

She narrowed her eyes at me as she turned her nose up. "So if it isn't the Rangeman Whore. Why they finally let you out of that fuck prison they have been keeping you in?" She asked me. Like I wasn't at the club the other night I mean what the fuck, is she that forgetful? Well I will have to kick her ass again to remind her.

"What do you mean? I go out when I want and I think we already established who the fucking slut is you goat fucking bitch." I tell her. She was pissing me off. My piss off button was already pushed with Mother Nature robbing me and now this, a run in with Ass Fuck, my piss off button might actually send me to a whole new level of pissed off.

She looked at me stepping closer to me as though she was going to try to threaten me narrowing her eyes at me she said. "You were tough the other night when you had all of your mercenaries around you your thugs that you fuck, how about now when it is just you and me?" I could only think one thing bring it on bitch because I would love to beat your ass, leave you hugging the public toilet after giving you a toilet flushing you will never fucking forget.

I squared my shoulders raised my head up set my eyes on her if I could see myself I think I just pulled off the Rangeman blank stare that makes mortal men piss their pants. I briefly saw a flicker of fear run across her face a flicker of maybe this was a bad idea. Oh it was bad idea already she just didn't know how bad. Make a move bitch I am ready.

Some people just didn't know when to leave well enough alone and obviously Joyce was one of them. I could tell she was questioning herself and I really didn't have time for her to make up her mind I had a Tasty Cake waiting on me. I slipped my hand in my purse pulling out my stun gun I held it hidden from her sight. Pretending as though I was bored of this and was going to step around her I put it to her arm and pushed the button.

She sunk to the ground. I could have just left her there but someone may have found her and offered her help too soon. So I drug her to the nearest toilet stall. I dragged her ass in wrapping her arms around the bowl I put her head up on the seat. I contemplated flushing her but didn't I just hung her head down in the seat before stepping around her I snapped a picture with my cell phone after all I had to have a picture of this one maybe I would post it on Facebook, that would be worth setting an account up for and having friends . I closed the door and then using a coin I locked the door by putting it in the slot of the lock thing on the outside of the door and turning it.

Now she can hang out for a while without being disturbed. I once again wash my hands after touching Ass Fuck who knows what the fuck she has I just hoped washing my hands was enough to kill it. I headed out to met my brothers and to eat my Tasty Cake. At this rate I might decide not to share and eat them all.

CalPOV

I had followed Angel to the restroom. I hated when she went to public restrooms. It was the one place we couldn't watch her, we couldn't secure. At least with this store's restroom there was one way in and one way out it had no windows as it was in the middle of the stockroom in the back of the store.

I still was concerned though it was part of my training. When there wasn't an area we could cover, clear, or access there was the potential for a threat. Threats even potential threats didn't sit well with me when it came to my Angel.

We all understood the need after getting Lester's text had we known from the beginning we would have been able to clear the restroom. We would have watched it until we knew it was clear and then we would have double checked it before she got here.

But because she felt she needed to hide from us what was happening we weren't able to do what we normally would do while protecting someone. It was sort of funny she didn't want us to know and would go to the extreme she did to keep us from finding out but she should know we would find out because we always had our ways.

Before I could stop her Joyce went into the bathroom. I briefly thought about going in and checking on my Angel but I knew she could handle Joyce. Anyone else and I would have probably gone and checked on her but Joyce, I knew Angel could handle her.

It wasn't but a few minutes after Joyce went in that Angel came out smiling. "Everything go okay?" I asked her and she briefly blushed. "I meant with Joyce, I saw her go in but I wasn't close enough to stop her." I told her.

Her smile became evil while she nodded her head. "Everything went just fine Cal, I have a picture I want to show you all. You know Joyce came in, she was a little drunk and I don't think she can handle her liquor very well. She's currently praying to the porcelain gods." She told me you could hear the humor in her voice and I couldn't help but think are you the pot or the kettle with her talking about someone who couldn't hold their liquor. But I couldn't hold back the laughter at what I could only imagine she had done to Ass Fuck.

We make our way to the front of the store Lester saw the look on her face and he raised his eyebrow at me questioning what had happened. I wasn't giving anything away I would never spoil her fun and right now she was having fun so I shrugged. When she reached them she pulled out her phone.

"Guys, I have something to show you. I had a run in with Ass Fuck in the bathroom." When she mentioned her nickname all the guys tensed for a moment I know they were going through the possibilities but seeing her okay they were just trying to figure out if she was really okay.

We all know how Angel can appear okay and not really be okay. We have all experienced it. We all see it with every distraction she does. She appears all is okay. She appears all is cool but we all know all is not okay and all is not cool. That it is just and act to keep up from worrying about her.

I could tell Slyder had no idea what she was talking about. She looked at him and realized it too. "Slyder Ass Fuck as was I call her but her name is Joyce Barnhart I also call her Barnyard. She is the town whore, the town slut and she fucks animals, I think mainly goats and ducks but I am not sure it stops there. I am only going to warn you one time. She has long red curly hair, she has a decent body but it is all fake, she wears really tight pleather outfits, which I am sure give her the worst yeast infections with sweating and the not breathing issues of faux leather. She has about twenty sexual diseases maybe more and if you touch her your dick will fall off."

I still laugh when she says that. More likely if we touched her Angel would cut our dicks off because she hates the woman. Of course she has every right to hate the woman.

Slyder was laughing at her description but my Angel put an end to that.

"Slyder I am serious here, it's not funny. She will try with you, one just look at you, but two you are Rangeman and she knows all Rangeman are my brothers and she would do anything to sleep with a Rangeman and especially Ranger himself. She would just love to rub it in my face. I will tell you more about her later. But I am serious don't touch her or you will lose your dick."

I could hear the bit of warning the bit of not being sure if he would listen to her if he would stay away from her. Not knowing him well she didn't know his type, she only assumed that since he was so much like Lester that he was the playboy Lester was and he was every bit the playboy, she was right. But I knew he would stay away from her because like us he would do whatever to make her happy and when we filled him in on her story and her history with Ass Fuck he wouldn't touch her with Vinnie's dick.

VincePov

Bombshell had given Slayer the same warning she had given us all about Joyce I had to laugh when she called her Ass Fuck. She could come up with some names when it came to Joyce. But when she showed us the picture she had snapped with her cell phone I thought we would all piss ourselves laughing.

"Guys now I swear I didn't do anything, Joyce came in drunk. She got sick and started praying to the porcelain gods all on her own." Yeah and my dick is two feet long.

Lester spoke up "Beautiful I am sorry to say this but this" he motioned to the picture "looks like it has everything to do with you." He continued to laugh while he shook his head.

I look around and see we are making quite the scene everyone is watching us standing there with her laughing. Boy when did we stop being such bad asses? Oh yeah I know the answer to that question the day that a curly brown haired, bright blue eyed, little girl walked into our lives became our sister and stole our hearts, that's when.

But her response had us almost rolling on the floor. "Okay maybe I had a little hand in this, I helped her to the toilet because I could tell she wasn't going to make it and nothing is worse than laying in your own puke." Like she would care if Joyce puked and laid in it Stephanie would only hope she was face up so she would choke on it.

Slyder gave her questioning look. She looked at him and paused "What?" questioning his look then continued. "That's my story and I am sticking to it. But I am seriously thinking about opening a Facebook account because wouldn't this picture be best posted out there for the world to see?" She asked.

I briefly wondered if she understood how Facebook worked that in order for the world to see it she would have to be friends with them, but I thought it best to drop it. I am sure Ranger would not want her having a social networking page after all anonymity was his name. She was going to have to settle for texting that picture to her friends in the burg I am sure it would spread faster than posting it to any Facebook page.

We made it out of the store and stepped into the parking lot when there was a voice yelling at Bombshell. The voice was enough to make you cringe, like nails on a chalk board. You just wanted to put an end to the noise it was so fucking annoying.

"Well isn't it Stephanie Michelle Plum my ungrateful disappointing bitch of a daughter." I wanted to shoot her. Stephanie froze.

I saw her reach for Lester's hand, I saw the slight shake of her hand and fingers as she reached out and pure anger rolled down my back. I unknowingly unwillingly took a step closer to Stephanie to protect her at all costs even against her true bitch of a mother. To think that a mother could speak to a daughter like that is unfathomable.

My mother would rather die than talk to any of us like that. My brother, my sister and I have at times disappointed our parents. It happens you know everyone is their own person makes their own choices and sometimes those choices aren't the smartest choice aren't the choice that someone else would have made for us if it was their choice to make but at times in a person's live the choice becomes theirs to make not their parents.

Even though they may not have always agreed and we may have at times disappointed them they never stopped loving us and they would never ever in a million years ever speak to us like the way Bombshell's mother just spoke to her.

Slyder surprised me a little although I don't know him as well as the others I do know him and I guess I shouldn't have been too surprised he stepped closer to her as well we were all closing ranks around her to protect but also give her our strength and show her she had our support and our love even if she didn't have her mothers.

The ice cold tone that came from Bombshell almost had me backing the fuck up though. I didn't know she could become that cold. "I told you the last time I talked to you that you were never to talk to me again. That if you saw me on the street you needed to walk the other fucking way." Holy shit, is it wrong that hearing that I have to control what is happening in my pants before my two foot dick makes an unwanted appearance.

"Stephanie seriously did you think if I saw you I wouldn't talk to you? You have made some really bad choices and you need to grow up. You need to come to your senses. You need to leave these thugs you need to act like a proper young lady and stop doing what you are doing with every one of these men and you need to move back home. You need to live like a proper young lady for a while so that Joseph will see that you are still the woman he wants to marry. With the way you have been acting young lady he is questioning if he wants to still marry you. If he decides not to marry you what will everyone think? Honestly Stephanie do you only think about yourself these days? Do you not think about me, your mother? Your father? Joseph? Once again you are nothing but an embarrassment and a disappointment is this what you want to be your whole life a huge disappointment? Is this what you want for your family? For Joseph?" She asked.

I was stunned what did she think Bombshell exactly did with us? Did she honestly think what I thought she was insinuating?

LPOV

Mother fucking son of a bitch how the fuck did I miss that bitch walking up to us. Fuck I need to be more aware of my surroundings Ranger is going to fucking kill me when he finds out. I was here to protect her not laugh with her. I know we always laugh and joke with each other but I should have been paying more attention I let my guard down and that fucking bitch moved right in.

Stephanie had grabbed my hand the second she heard her mother's voice. I wanted to shoot the bitch just to shut her the fuck up. This is all my Beautiful needed. Her confidence had taken a major hit the night at the club but the test had gotten most of that back maybe more and now this how much more could she take of their god damn shit. How much more could she take of the roller coaster her life seemed to be she had extremely high highs and extremely low lows that couldn't be good on ones mental health.

At this point I was seriously just considering killing them all and letting god sort them the fuck out. Did she really need all this fucking shit in her life anyway? But Beautiful surprised me a little when she warned her mother telling her that she should have walked the other way.

Of course that just lead her mother into the rant of all rants that had me seething to the point I was seeing red. She wanted her with Morelli even after all of the shit he had done to her. What kind of a fucking mother was she?

Beautiful motioned to her face "You want me with Joseph, the same Joseph that did this to me." She pointed to her face "and this" she pulled up her sleeve showing the bruises on her arm where he held her. Images of that night flashed thru my mind the fear the hatred and the monster in me awakened with the memories.

Her mother responded "honestly Stephanie if you would grow up and act right that would have never happened. Be the proper burg woman you are supposed to be. Become his wife have his children that would never have happened and you and I both know it but you have to throw these thugs in his face you have to rub your whore of an ass all over them and you expect that your future husband your fiancé won't get jealous and get mad at you. Honestly you are lucky he just left those bruises I am sure you deserved far worse. I can only imagine what he saw in that club. I know I heard about it and you were being quite the little slut. I heard with the way you were acting you made Joyce seem like a perfect little Christian burg girl." Is she fucking serious? Joyce and perfect little Christian should be banned from being allowed in the same sentence.

Beautiful's hand tighten on mine and I felt her shake oh fuck she's getting to her I thought when she spoke up and her voice sent chills down my spine.

"Seriously you are going to stand there and compare me to Joyce? I am engaged but it isn't to Joseph" she said Joseph as though it was a bad word "I am engaged to Ranger and I am going to marry Ranger and if I choose to have babies it will be his babies. It will be babies that you will never see, you will never touch, you will never know. I told you I am done with you and nothing proves more how you truly feel about me than what you just said. I never want to see you again. I never want to talk to you. I don't give a fuck what you think, what anyone else thinks of you. Here's a fucking news flash for you, you hateful bitch of a use to be mother, I don't give a fuck what anyone thinks other than my true family."

Her mother snorted "honestly Stephanie we are your true family." She said.

"No, you are not my true family. I have told you before but since you didn't listen when I told you in the privacy of your home maybe you will now that we are in public where everyone else can hear it as well." Fuck how I failed to notice the crowd that had gathered. Ranger's going to send my ass to awareness training in the form of him kicking my ass on the mats from now until hell freezes over.

Beautiful continued "My true family is my brothers, you know them as thugs, murderers, and gang bangers. Honestly mother for someone who is so quick to label them that but not afraid to call them that I question your sanity. True murderers, thugs, and gang bangers well they probably would have kicked your ass by now. These men are my brothers my true family, and I love them all. You well you gave birth to me other than that I can't say much. Growing up you were too busy fucking Joseph's father to do a whole lot else. I am surprised that I or Valerie aren't a half sister to the Joseph you love so much because I am about certain you were fucking him long before I or she was born. The only reason you married Daddy was because he wouldn't marry your ass and beat you nightly which quite honestly is what you fucking deserved." Holy shit was that true?

She continued her voice loud enough for all to hear "You didn't think I knew that did you, I can tell by the look on your face oh and that guilty look on your face says it all, everyone watching knows I am right. I am telling the truth. You thought by pointing out my failures in life and calling me a disappointment and embarrassment that it would distract people from what you were doing. You were right you pulled off the distraction but you failed to distract one person, me. I saw it all. I know it all."

She squeezed my hand and I squeezed hers back in show of support and love, she continued "Now you have pissed me off to the point that I am fucking telling it all for all to hear how my use to be mother was the whore, the woman who couldn't keep her legs together for a Morelli man, how she cheated on her husband for all those years. How she wanted a Morelli man so fucking bad her whole life that she would force her daughter into a relationship with one even though he has hit her now on two occasions and all he wants to do is change her and make your daughter fucking miserable. But you want a Morelli to be part of your family so bad you don't give a fuck about anyone other than what you want."

I could tell Beautiful was holding on for all she was worth she was pissed but she was about to break down I could hear it in her voice. She took a deep breath before continuing. "I swear I wouldn't be surprised to hear you were fucking Joseph the only thing stopping you is he probably wouldn't want your old used up pussy knowing his father had been there. Then again he probably wouldn't care seen as he is fucking Joyce, Terry, every street walker on Stark Street, and anyone else that will touch his disease riddled dick he might as well be fucking you too."

Damn I am so proud of her. Even while I know she is upset she isn't showing it and she is showing nothing but self confidence and strength. Seeing her like this makes me hard as hell damn I hope no one notices if Ranger finds out that will be just one more reason on his list for kicking my ass and killing me.

Hold up what was that look on her mother's face? I saw that. When Beautiful accused her of fucking Morelli holy shit I saw that flicker, she has fucked him. Damn she didn't know he was fucking those other women or the hookers I bet she let him fuck her bareback. Oh fuck now the pieces are falling together. I tug on Beautiful's hand we have got to go and we have got to go now.

I take a quick look at her mother's hands and her fingernails oh fuck, no way. I am almost certain I have seen those nails before. No fucking way. What the fuck is this going to do to her? No way can I tell her this. This is going to crush her she may have said it but I know she never meant it and she would never actually dream that it was happening. Fuck maybe I really should just fucking kill them all I am good enough no one will know what the fuck happened to them just that they were here today and gone tomorrow fuck I doubt they would even be missed. I have to get to Ranger now. We got to get to Rangeman now. Knowing the connection now I feel certain Morelli is going to show up any minute, if he isn't already here. Fuck why hadn't it clicked before now?

The monster inside me was looking more forward to delivering that message especially if Beautiful was right and I was quite certain she was more than right.

SlyderPOV

I was trying to follow the back in forth between Stephanie and what I quickly learned was Stephanie's mother and I quickly learned there is no love lost between the two. I was a little surprised at first but then when her mother said the things she said I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

When Stephanie stood up for herself she was amazing. Her eyes shooting daggers of cobalt blue ice her voice was so cold it would have frost bit your ass if it had been directed to you. She was strong, she squared her shoulders and she tore into her like a lioness tears into a gazelle. She was fucking beautiful and yet there was a part of me that prayed I would never be on the receiving end of Stephanie's true fury.

I wasn't familiar with all the dynamics but in listening I had put together that Joseph and Morelli were the same guy and that was the guy that had put the bruises on her. Her mother wanted Stephanie to marry him why I am not sure. She also wanted Stephanie to move back home and become a proper behaving girl what the fuck did I just drop into leave it to beaver land? It sounded almost as if her mother expected Stephanie to just turn into June fucking Cleaver.

I didn't say anything, only moving closer to close rank around Stephanie to protect her. I forced myself not to say anything when all I wanted to do was intervene and stop her mother from hurting her more. Hearing her talk to Stephanie the way she was made me want to rethink my policy against hitting women especially hearing how open she was to the whole idea of a man putting a woman in her place maybe she should lead by example.

But I am glad I didn't when Stephanie lit into her mother it was something of pure beauty and I found myself filled with pride for her. I was so fucking proud of her. When she accused her mother of cheating and accused her of having sex with the same man she wanted Stephanie to marry I wasn't sure if I was hearing her correctly. There was something I was missing here. This whole situation was fucked up and I obviously really had no idea how screwed up things were in the life of Stephanie the Bombshell Bounty Hunter.

I saw Lester stiffen, I saw him scan the parking lot and I saw him tug on Stephanie's hand. I instantly knew by the change in him that something wasn't right and that he wanted out of here and he wanted out of here now. I briefly wondered what the fuck had happened. I found myself automatically scanning the parking lot looking for potential threats.

A crowd had gathered listening to her and her mother go back and forth. I had seen a few snap some pictures with their camera phones I saw a few others texting. Clearly telling others and sending pictures of the two, I guess people are interested in the Bombshell Bounty Hunter's life.

CalPOV

My Angel had just dealt with Joyce and now she had to deal with her mother. If there was ever a woman who deserved to be slapped it would be that bitch. Her voice cut through you like a knife and was annoying as fuck!

I knew she didn't need this right now. We were all worried earlier when she was driving and jumped on Santos that something had upset her but when he discovered the problem we had all relaxed and when she came out of the bathroom she was happy because she got to release some of that pent up frustration, aka PMS, on Joyce the Barnyard slut. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving person in my opinion Joyce deserved anything my Angel wanted to throw at her.

Now this run in with her mother may not go at all as smooth or have the happy ending the Joyce run-in had. I was very happy when she held her ground, when she stood up for herself. I was shocked when she accused her mother of fucking Morelli. Now that would be funny as shit if it were true. I can't imagine even Morelli going anywhere near her with his dick. I mean it isn't that she is that bad looking she actually had a half decent body for a woman of her age but God how could you deal with the mouth, how could you deal with the person while you were fucking her? Not to mention it would sort of be like fucking your mother, who the hell would want to fuck someone that reminded them of their mother?

I saw Lester tug on Stephanie's hand. I had seen her hand shake in his I knew she was drawing her strength from him but his tug was different. His tug said he wanted to get her out of here. His tug said he didn't think she was safe. His tug said there was a potential threat. I quickly scanned the parking lot and didn't see anything I would deem a threat. I mean a crowd had gathered and they were taking pictures of the two having a showdown in the middle of the parking lot but I didn't deem any of these people a threat. I briefly wondered what it was that Lester knew or sensed.

When Lester tugged harder on Angel's hand she turned and looked at him taking her attention away from her mother. Lester spoke up "Beautiful we need to leave, we need to go. I am surprised someone else hasn't joined the party yet." He was afraid Joe was going to show up. I saw fear cross her face for the first time since stepping out in the parking lot.

I instinctively stepped even closer to hear and I grabbed her hand when she reached for me her hand shaking. I was still thankful that she wanted me. That she felt secure with me that she felt like I could and would protect her after what happened in the Club a few night ago now. She nodded her head turning back to her mom her mom was watching our interaction with disgust on her face.

"Honestly Stephanie you need to the hold the hands of two men and not even one of them is the hand of the man you claim you are in love with and are going to marry. Really what kind of woman does that? I tell you a woman who is a whore and a slut, that's who?" Her mother yells at her.

Stephanie stepped forward, us stepping with her towards the vehicle she wanted out of here. The fear that he may show up had her moving she wanted to be in the vehicle where she felt safe but she looked back to her mother.

"I have told you once, I will tell you again never speak to me again never approach me again or I promise you, you will live to regret it. You are no longer my mother, you are no longer my family and you come at me again and I will defend myself if that means I have to shoot you to do it, stay the fuck away from me."

Holy shit, my Angel meant business threatening her mother holy fuck I have a hard on. She hasn't let go of my hand as we make our way to the vehicle. She looks at Vince.

"Vince I know I am supposed to be doing my training but I don't want to drive anymore I just want to go back to Haywood, can we do that?" I know what she wanted. She wanted Ranger. He nodded his head.

Lester, Angel and I walk up to the back she looks at me "Cal will you ride in the back with me and Lester? She asked as if I would say no, I wouldn't say no to her not ever. I nodded and she smiled but you could see the argument had taken its toll and the fear of him showing up was worrying her. We all climbed in the one door Lester moving all the way over to allow room for her and I the reason he hadn't gone to other side was because she never let go of his hand for him to go to the other side.

I was looking more forward to delivering that message tonight. Seeing the fear in her eyes feeling her hands shake within mine oh yeah I am going to enjoy delivering this message. Fuck with my sister you fuck with me and even though he was a cop I don't think he really wanted to fuck with me. I would happily snap him like a fucking twig.

SPOV

When Lester told me that he expected company without saying Joe's name a bolt of fear shot down my spine. He was afraid he was going to be coming here and He didn't want him finding us in the parking lot in the open. I didn't want him confronting us out here.

He wanted to get us out of the parking lot as fast as possible before he showed up. He knew it was only a matter of time. I couldn't help the fear I felt and I cursed myself for feeling it. I cursed myself for allowing the fear to make me run. There was a part of me that wanted to stand right there and wait for his pathetic fucking ass to show and fucking dare him to speak to me. Dare him to fucking look at me or attempt to touch me but the fear was too strong. I hadn't fared so well the last couple of showdowns and I was scared shitless of him and I hated it.

I couldn't do it. I needed a lot more courage and strength. I really needed Carlos I needed the Ranger side of Carlos not the man side of Carlos. I needed his fearless mercenary side. I needed the man Carlos to hold me comfort me make love to me but I needed the strength courage and fearlessness of Ranger to face Joe.

I briefly wondered if I would truly be up for facing him tonight as I had planned and hoped earlier today. I needed to be able to kick his ass if not physically I needed to take him down a few notches verbally I needed to show him that I wasn't some push over that he couldn't control me, he couldn't demand things of me, he couldn't tell me what to do. I needed from to know he had no power over me.

I wasn't someone he could slap around and throw around that I was a fighter, that I stood up for myself even against him someone bigger and stronger than me. Even if he could kick my ass I still would stand up and fight for myself. That I stood up for what I wanted, for those I loved, and for myself. That I wasn't a weak frail woman that he could strong arm into what he wanted and I was never going to be what he wanted ever.

I needed to be able to do it I needed to face him stand up to him and show him I will fight him tooth and nail that he doesn't scare me that he has no hold over me. Knowing I needed to be able to do this and being able to do this was beginning to look like two different things and I was seriously questioning myself now if I had it in me to do what I needed to do if I could do what was necessary.

I laid my head over on Lester's shoulder when we got in the car. I wasn't going to cry, I wasn't going to cry I kept saying to myself over and over and every time I felt like tears were about to come. I closed my eyes to further help keep the tears at bay. I was going to be strong I am not going to let what my x-mother get to me. I was officially writing her out of my life forever and I am not going to cry about it I am not going to cry over her. She is an evil bitch a vindictive bitch a selfish self centered bitch and I am better with her out of my life than I ever was with her in my life.

No matter how many times I repeated that, part of me still couldn't help be surprised and sadden at some of the thoughts that were going through my head there was still that part of me that wanted to love my mother and wanted her to love me. There was a part of me that wanted to have a life with my mother for god sake she was my mother I mean who wouldn't want a relationship with their mother?

I was sad for losing a mother but she wasn't the mother she wasn't the idea of what I thought of when I thought of a mother. It wasn't her it was the idea of a mother and what that role meant to me that I missed that saddened me that I no longer had in my life. I know I never really had my idea of what a mother would be to me but I guess I had always hoped that one day we would be able to have that but it was clear now that would never happen that it was never going to be something that we ever had, that I was ever going to have in my life at least not with my biological mother.

When I felt like I wasn't going to be able to hold the tears back anymore I turned my head into Lester's shoulder hoping that it would help to further hold the tears back. The tears weren't there because of what had happened, or the fear that Joe was going to show up and do something they were there for the thoughts that saddened me the thoughts and realizations of things in my life that I had missed out on all my life the thoughts of what I would never have that was causing the threatening tears.

I still had Cal's and Lester's hand I hadn't let go of either of them when we got in the car and even sitting in the vehicle I hadn't let go of them. I didn't look at them but I didn't think that either minded. I could feel their strength, their support, and their love. Everyone was quite in the SUV as Vince drove us back to Haywood. I guess no one knew what to say. I had just sent a message to my mother for her never to talk to me again that if she came at me again I would protect myself I would defend myself even to the point of shooting her. The really sad part was I meant every word.

VincePOV

Fuck, I am driving the SUV back to Haywood. Ranger is probably going to kick my ass this is the second time I have taken Bombshell out for training and the second time she comes back crying. Fuck, I am two for two and not on the good side of the scoring board. The only good thing is that I didn't have to call Ranger and have him come and get her like last time. That was good.

She had been cornered by both Joyce and her Mother now her x-mother according to Bombshell still though Ranger was going to be pissed at me. I would probably end up with monitor duty for a month and all of my Bombshell training sessions cancelled. It was clear I wasn't doing a good job of keeping her safe.

I know the other guys were with me but it was my training session it was my ultimate responsibility it was me that should shoulder the responsibility of keeping her safe and secure during our sessions not to have to rely on the other guys tagging along to do it and this is the second time now she has been cornered on my watch, hello third fucking world country.

I could have killed her mother and felt fucking good about it. Especially now looking back at her with her head on Lester's shoulder what kind of cold heartless fucking bitch person talks to someone like that especially when that person is your daughter?

I couldn't help but think about my mom again. How much she always supported and loved us still does even though we are grown adults my mom still cares about my sister, my brother, and me. She still wants us to check in with her to make sure we are all okay she still wants us to tell her about our lives and she still offers her advice. Not that we always take her advice seriously we all allow her to give it because we know she does it out of love for us.

My sister Nicole and my brother Brian are both successful people. My sister is a lawyer with a prestigious law firm in Boston and my brother is one of the best orthopedic surgeons in the country he is flown all over the country and even the world to operate on professional sport figures knees, ankles, etc. Both are married but so far neither of them had children.

I chose the military for my career and then joined Ranger when Rangeman started to grow and I decided that I no longer needed to get my ass shot at on a daily bases that I was getting too old for that shit.

I had worked with Ranger in the military and I respected him and when I learned about Rangeman I couldn't wait to be part of the company. Not only because it was the best when it came to security, not because we got to hunt down the bad guys, and not only because we protected peopled I had strived my whole career to protect, Americans. It was all of it and a chance to work with one of the best men I knew.

I remember the day I told my mom and dad that I was coming to Trenton to work here that I was retiring out of the Army with fifteen years of service. They were happy they were excited they felt like they had their boy back and while I explained my job wasn't without dangers it wasn't the life of a service man at least the service man I had been because there was no behind the desk job for me in my military career I was all soldier from day one.

My mom Janie and my dad Tom Davidson were proud of me had always been proud of me. Proud of all of us and their support of us had never faulted I don't know how my life would have been without them and it breaks my heart that Bombshell never had that. She never had anyone support her not until Ranger came into her life. Not until her brothers came into her life. It was incredible that she became the amazing woman she is when she never had anyone ever raise her up, support her, and love her for her.

The thought of that made me sad but it also fucking infuriated me and I literally wanted to beat the shit out of something in an attempt to right the wrong that has been committed all these years.

RPOV

I was sitting in my office going over the payroll for final approval when Tank walked into my office. I looked up annoyed at the intrusion. Tank knew payroll needed to be approved today and he knew that it was an all day thing going through payroll for the five different Rangeman offices.

It was either Tank or I that had to finalize payroll for all locations for all men. If my men wanted to be paid and I know they did then I needed to get this done. Tank was willing to do it when I was out but if I was here the job was all on me as he hated it.

While we pay good money, and we treat our employees well all overtime is accounted for and all has to be approved first by the managers of the employees, then by the core team member for that Rangeman branch hopefully before the overtime is worked and then it was sent to us. It was rare that we determined overtime wasn't to be granted but on occasions it happened. When it did happen usually those individuals were fired as it was a gross misuse and they were taking advantage of our generous pay scale.

Tank looks at me "Man I don't know what's going on but I just got a text from Slayer saying to cancel My Little Girl's training sessions for the day and clear your workload." What the fuck.

I quickly pull up their tracker and see they appear to be headed back to Rangeman. Fuck! "Have you heard anything from her, Santos, Cal, or Vince? Heard anything other than what Slayer texted you?" I asked him. He shook his head no. Fuck! I hadn't heard a damn thing. What the hell could have happened?

I key into the sound of their SUV and there is nothing no one is speaking and there are no noises well at least she isn't hysterical or crying at least I can hope. I wondered what the hell happened. It wasn't lost on me this was the second time Vince had taken her out and the second time she had come up unable to continue her training sessions.

Tank was standing there with me us listening to whatever was going on in the vehicle to give us any insight into what had happened when his cell phone beeped again. He looked at it and said "Lula"

He pulled up the text and showed it to me "Is it true my girl threatened to kill her mom? BGV says she threaten to shoot her if she speaks to her again. BGV also says that her mom is Fucking Super Prick, is that true?"

She also sent a picture of my Babe facing off with her mother. You could see fury on my Babe's face she was pissed. Her eyes sparkling blue but appeared cold as ice. She looked hotter than hot. Holy shit.

What the hell? Part of me wanted to laugh and part of me wanted to fucking kill that bitch and that son of a bitch. If it was true and they were fucking each other as disgusting as that would be it would devastate my Babe. I seriously doubted there was any truth to Morelli fucking my Babe's mother but it is was obvious by the picture and other texts that my Babe had had a run in with her mother. Fuck that is all she needed.

I briefly wondered when Lula started calling Morelli Super Prick instead of Super Cop. It almost made me laugh. "Lula's now calling Morelli Super Prick." I told Tank and he nodded "She started calling him that after the club. I tell you he really scared her that night she didn't know what to do. Connie helped calm her down but she was about hysterical." He told me.

I could understand that. While Lula could talk a tough talk she wasn't tough she didn't like confrontations and she didn't like fighting. She was scared and after the life she had lived and what she had survived I could understand why.

I am a little embarrassed to say that I never thought about Lula or Connie that night I was too focused on my Babe. I think we all had been focused on her and I do feel a little guilty that Tank wasn't able to comfort her for having been left to deal with Morelli. I swear that fucker needs to just go. I briefly wondered about shipping his ass to a third world country. I mean I could do it. I have done it.

My men didn't fear being shipped to a third world country for no reason. I had done it. I know of a few right now that are on the border of being shipped Morelli is just one of them. I had shipped two contract workers when they fucked up an account and caused us to almost lose a million dollar account. They weren't supposed to have been the ones on that account and thought they would take it to prove themselves worthy of full time Rangeman jobs. The only thing they proved was what colossal fuck ups they were and I literally boxed their ass' up and shipped them to what I will refer to as an undisclosed location. It's amazing what you can drop from a cargo plane don't worry I let them attach the parachute onto the box.

We continued to listen to the sounds in the car but no one was talking and that alarmed me. She was upset if she wasn't talking and laughing especially with Lester and now Slyder there and or talking to Cal then something was wrong in the world of my Babe. I felt my fist tighten and my jaw clench with the thoughts that were running through my head. Something had happened with her mother. But how was that possible I mean she was supposed to be driving around how did her mother get to her?

I watched the blip on the GPS getting closer to Haywood and just for the sake of being curious I pulled up Morelli's blip and I saw that his car was sitting still somewhere downtown it was the general direction of where my Babe was coming from but I had no idea if he had been close to her. The texts said nothing about him. Fuck I hated when I didn't know everything there was to know when it concerned my Babe. I had no idea what she would need when she got here but I was willing to give whatever I could to make her feel better.

MPOV

I was on a scene of a crime when my phone rang and it was Momma Plum. I quickly stepped outside walking to my car and answered the phone. "Momma, how are you today?"

"I am fine, how is my son?" She asked me.

"I am fine just working a case right now what can I do for you?" I asked her briefly wondering why she was calling this time of day.

"Joseph I just got a call from Mrs. Templeton that Stephanie has been seen down at the stop and shop. I am headed there now to talk to her and I thought maybe you would like to join me if you can. Maybe together we can talk some sense into her. Maybe together we can make her see the mistake she is making with her life." She tells me.

Fuck, I really can't leave but I really wanted another chance to make Stephanie see my point of view. She was going to have to come to her senses soon if I was going to marry her. I mean she might just keep on to the point that I wouldn't want her I might fuck whores on Stark Street but I don't want them for my wife not with their used up pussy's.

I motion to one of the cops "Something just came up I need to go take care of." I tell him as I hop in my car heading to the stop and shop. I get there and I see the scene before I pull into the parking lot. I pull over and park on the street just down from the entrance watching the scene unfold as Stephanie and her mother are saying things to each other back and forth.

I can see the fire in Cupcake's eyes and it makes me hard from here. God I loved to see that fire I loved it when she would get pissed off at me. I know I hated the talking back, and yelling at me and when we got married that would stop but part of her when she would do it would just make me so hard. I wanted to control it there was a part of me that was just begging to be able to beat that into submission.

I scanned the group of thugs, whoremongers, heartless mercenaries she had with her today. I am surprised Ranger lets her out without him. I start to pull my car in the lot and I see someone that I can't believe I am seeing again. Holy shit, fuck it can't be him. I took a closer look I couldn't really tell but it looked like a guy I remember from the Navy. I will never forget the ass beating he gave me.

I never knew what I did to piss him off but he had hated me from the very beginning the first day I met him he hated me for some reason. I never asked him, I never really cared to know. He went on to fly jets excelling in all of his classes, and his training. I was hoping it wasn't him I knew he would remember me and I really never wanted to see him again. I decided to not pull in on the off chance it was him.

I need to do a little more surveillance I needed to check in with Doug and see if there are any new Rangeman that have come on board. I really hoped if they had it wasn't the guy I remember from my days in the Navy. I mean he was a Navy pilot he flew jets but he also threw a mean ass right hook and was fast as lightening. My jaw will never forget that right hook I took from him.

I pulled the car back out into the street and I pulled back over a little ways further I didn't have as good of a view but I could still Cupcake and her mother going at it and I could still the band of thugs she had with her. I knew one was Lester, I knew the other one was the same guy that was riding with Cupcake the day I pulled her over and I recognize the other one was the one that I had shot at the club guess I didn't do too much damage to him as he was standing in the parking lot, what a shame.

I wish I knew who the other thug was it's been a few years now since I was in the Navy so I could be mistaken and I hope I was mistaken I really didn't want him in Trenton.
