A week later, Audrey found herself settled into Cainneville and the police department. She had Mitchell pick up her patrol car, instead opting to work late shifts in order to avoid Mac. It bothered her that he caused such a reaction, she was normally immune to men like Mac. She hadn't gone near the Luna Mesa at night either, instead dropping by for a drink in the afternoon and leaving before ten at night.
But, of course all good things end, and Mac was dragged into the station with an assault charge. Naturally, Audrey wasn't too happy to find him seated in front of her desk with a cheeky smile. She rolled her eyes and sat in front of him, ignoring the way his eyes gleamed with amusement.
"You've been avoiding me sugar tits" Mac stated, he lounged back in his chair with a wry smirk.
"Thats Officer Jacks" She huffed in annoyance.
"Officer Jack-off?" Mac suggested. He smirked at her whilst licking his lips. Audrey made a disgusted face, she turned away from him and shuffled through pieces of paper. When she found his report, her eyebrows rose at the long list of charges.
"I'll be sure to charge you severely" Audrey muttered, she withdrew her hands from the desk when Mac lent forward. He waggled his eyebrows at her, chortling to himself as she turned away from him again.
"I doubt you'll be charging me Officer Hoochie" Mac smirked at her.
"Oh really?" Audrey snapped, she furrowed her eyebrows at him.
"Ain't nobody gonna come forward and say anything" Mac clarified, he lent back and watched her through challenging eyes. She opened her mouth to argue with him, when Sheriff Prat stepped forward with a sigh.
"I'm afraid he's right Jacks" He said, "No one is coming forward with a witness statement, we'll just have to let him go"
Audrey's mouth fell open, "Are you kidding me? Look at his knuckles" She exclaimed.
Mac blew on his bruised knuckles, giving her a smug look. "I'm glad you noticed babe" He whispered.
"You fuc-"
"Officer Jacks!" Sheriff Pratt intervened, Audrey's mouth snapped open and Mac's mouth widened into a smile. "You're free to go Mac" He instructed. Mac sat there for a moment, staring Audrey down until she looked away. Feeling proud of himself, he rose from his seat and swaggered out of the police station.
"Don't let him get to you" Pratt said softly, "God knows it will only make you insane"
Audrey huffed. Sheriff Pratt allowed her to go home early, he complimented her on her work efforts and claimed she needed more rest. Begrudgingly she packed up her things and shuffled towards the door.
She was surprised when Jim strolled through the door, a piece of clothing thrown over his shoulder and his eyes intent on finding someone. When his eyes flickered over Audrey they lightened immensely.
"Just who I was looking for" He remarked, coming to a stop before her.
"Oh?"
"You left your jacket in my car last week" He said, he handed over the garment with a twinkle in his eye. "I thought I'd bring it to you"
"Thanks but why didn't you just drop it at Mitchell's house?" She asked curiously. She threw the jacket on and led Jim outside.
"Well I just so happen to be having dinner at Mitchell's tonight, he told me you were working late again and I just thought maybe I could bring you it" He defended lamely, he chewed on his lip because he knew the excuse was terrible.
"Thats a long drive just for a jacket" She snickered.
"I thought maybe you'd like a lift home too" He added hopefully.
"I suppose Mitchell didn't tell you that I had my car fixed" Audrey added shortly.
Jim flushed brightly, he scratched the back of his neck and cleared his throat. "Okay, in all honesty I just wanted to see you. I want to make sure that Mac isn't bothering you" He rambled quickly.
Audrey grinned, "No he isn't." She murmured.
"I saw him walk out of here looking pretty smug" Jim pressed.
"The only reason he'd be smug is because he got let off" Audrey grumbled. She walked towards her patrol car and turned around to say goodnight.
"I'm coming back to Mitchell's as well" He added quickly, "Dinner is still going"
Audrey smiled at him, "Well I'll see you back there" She said before hopping into her vehicle.

Mac started his truck to life, his eyes were narrowed into slits while he watched Jim shuffle back to his car. Was she really interacting with that piss weak pile of shit? He didn't know why he cared, he'd get in her panties soon enough. He smirked at his internal thoughts and watched her patrol car pull out from the station. He squeezed down in his seat while she passed, seemingly unaware of him.
As soon as she had gotten a fair distance, Mac did a u-turn and followed after her. He kept his distance, keeping his headlights dim while her red lights bobbed up ahead. She kept a painstakingly even pace, not bothering to speed up when Mac inched closer and closer to her.
He could see her hand coming up to her face every now and then, a fresh blow of tobacco erupting from her mouth as her hand lowered. He grinned at that, he wanted to see her smoke after she screamed his name relentlessly.
Mac's car slowed when she pulled into Mitchell Harrison's house, he automatically gritted his teeth when he saw the bastards home. Mac shared bad blood with Mitchell, the majority of it was Mac's fault but the blame was on Mitchell.
He inched past her house, watching her step out of her car and greet Jim who was already waiting. She finished off her cigarette, not bothered by Jim's loud coughs while he batted the smoke away. Mac saw Jim murmur something and Audrey shrug in reply. She stubbed out her cigarette and allowed Jim to lead her inside.
Mac parked his car further down the street, he hopped out slyly and sauntered around her house. He knew Mitchell didn't have a guard dog from experience, so he leaped over their fence and peered through several windows. He backed away quickly when light flooded out of a window and hushed conversation echoed out to him. The window was open as Mac neared it, he stood on his tip toes to glance inside.
"He seems awfully keen on you"
Mac spotted Mitchell's wife Nina snickering as she sat on the bed. He saw Audrey stroll into the room, her work shirt was removed and she was standing before both Nina and Mac with just a bra on. Mac licked his lips at the sight, she had an impressive cleavage for such a thin woman. He almost growled at the sight of it.
"He's cute" Audrey whispered, she kept looking back at the door. "But he is kind of boring" She admitted. She stepped towards her dresser and threw on a tank top. She pulled off her uniform pants and threw them on the bed.
"You only think he's boring because he doesn't have a reputation" Nina countered, she automatically folded up Audrey's pants.
"What makes you say that Nina?" Audrey asked, she furrowed her eyebrows at the woman. Mac's eyes were too transfixed on her plump ass in her barely there panties, he felt his coveralls tighten and he gritted his teeth.
"Fuckin' slut" He hissed whilst adjusting himself.
"You've always had a thing for bad boys Drey" Nina laughed, she shook her head. "I can't believe you haven't noticed"
"I do not!" Audrey defended, but her face showed hesitation.
"Oh really? How about George, Lucas, Jared, James, Anton-"
"Okay okay!" Audrey muttered, "You don't need to spell it out"
Nina giggled, "And I think you have a thing for Mac, which I really don't approve of" She said seriously.
Audrey made a disgusted face, "Oh God no, no way. He's so crude, vulgar and-"
"Everything you like in a man" Nina interrupted.
"No way" Audrey refused.
"I think he finds you favourable" Nina snickered, "But please restrained yourself Audrey, he's no good and Mitchell would kill you"
"Why would Mitchell kill me?" She replied haughtily.
"Lets just say they aren't the best of friends" Nina said.
"Well you don't have to worry, I don't like him" Audrey reassured as she ushered Nina to the door.
"That doesn't mean you won't bang him" Nina sniggered.

After an awkward dinner, Audrey walked Jim out to his car without hesitation. He continued to grin at her as she opened his door and watched him slide in, he smiled at her while wounding down his window quickly.
"We should do this again something" He suggested hopefully.
Audrey didn't have the nerve to refuse, instead she smiled sweetly. "Maybe, if work isn't too busy" She lied. Jim's smile increased, he gave her a quick nod before he backed out of their driveway and gave her a wave through the window. She faked a smile and waved back politely, watching him slowly drive away with a blush that turned him crimson.
"God Almighty" Audrey muttered, she strolled towards the mailbox and retrieved mass amounts of envelopes addressed to Mitchell. She had just snapped the lid shut when she was jolted by another presence.
"Jesus Christ!" She yelped, whilst turning around and backing away.
She found Mac standing behind her with a shocked expression. It slowly melted into a wry smirk, he waggled his eyebrows at her provocatively.
"Is that a preview?" He asked.
"A preview for what?" She snapped.
"For how you're gonna sound in my bed tonight" Mac pressed.
Audrey coughed down any amusement she had, she turned back to the house with an annoyed scoff. Mac followed her naturally, a cocky step in his walk.
"What the hell are you doing here?" She asked rudely, she ignored the way his hand kept brushing over her rear. She stepped away from him quickly, hating the way he chuckled lowly from behind her.
"Was just passing through the neighbourhood, walking my dog" He lied smoothly.
"Oh really, and where is your dog?" She asked.
Mac licked his lips, "Sniffing 'round" He retorted.
Audrey snorted, they both knew he was lying and she turned away. When she reached the doorstep, she noticed Mac was still there. She glanced back down at him, her eyebrows raised questionably while she surveyed him.
"This is the part where you go away" She stated.
"Enough with the role-play baby, get in my truck and I'll fuck you to sleep" Mac grinned boldly at her.
Audrey spluttered, she was at loss for words. She shook her head and opened the door, "Goodnight Mac" She said firmly, closing the door with a snap on his smirking face.
