"Why do I need so many guard dogs Donny? I really don't think Gabriel will hurt me considering he wants me to play Porn Cop." Calliope Cruz parades around her living room in the nude. While at home at least she could forego those damnable stiletto heels her Terrorist demanded she wear.
"It's not Gabriel I worry about Calliope. It's the rest of Miami. You may be a fighter but without backup even you can be mobbed. Just take a hard look at Trish Toliver's rape. I would prefer that not happen to you."
"Nobody knows where I live."
"Come on Calliope there's a goddamned News crew following your every move. Trish Toliver aside."
"True...but doesn't it look just as bad to have five squad cars outside and six Officers sitting in my living room? Drooling I might add." She steps into her kitchen to whisper, "Donny? I know you want what's best for me but I can't breath."
"That's why they're there. To make sure you keep breathing."
"Oh, I'm certain if I stopped breathing they would be fighting to see who gave me mouth to mouth. I'd probably die before they decided who was going to do it."
"End of subject Calliope. Get some sleep."
"Zero chances of that. Night Donald."
"Sweet dreams."
"Me or them?"
"Call if things get out of hand."
"Dialing now."
"Ha ha!"
"I wonder if Gabriel is watching me?"
"Most likely. We can't get a surveillance specialist in to remove your bugs and cameras. If we do things go boom somewhere in Miami."
"Is it sick of me to not mind the peeping tom aspect of this?"
"Question is are you not going to mind stepping into public nude just to do your job?"
"I don't so much mind that people see me naked...it's just not fair that parents have to isolate their kids just because of Gabriel's expectations of me. I feel horrible about that."
"We'll formulate a plan to at least lower the risk factor. If it means cloaking you in a gauntlet of uniformed Officers so be it."
"We both know Gabriel will nix that option Donald. I cannot hide in plain sight. Can the Department or even the City get sued because of me?"
"Probably but the circumstances will be overturned by any Judge with his or her right mind concerning the safety for human lives."
"This sucks."
"Like I said get some sleep."
"I need to eat and relax a bit. There's no sleeping for me until I do."
"Order some take out. Bill it to the Precinct. It's the least I can do considering."
"That's sweet Donny. Thank you."
"Hanging up now. Allison will start asking questions I can't answer."
"Give her my best."
"Will do."
Call ending Calliope eases her way back out to the living room. All eyes absorb her flesh the second she steps in. Fanning herself with her hands nervously she moves to her coffee table and uses it as a boundary.
"Anyone hungry? Bettinger offered to buy us take out. Sushi sounds good."
Fitz chuckles, "Does that make you Sushi Homemaker?"
"That's cute." She feels her choker vibrate and huffs her cheeks before letting everyone know, "Babee is here."
"Gabriel?" Tortuga looks around the room.
"I'm on Candid Camera."
"Which means so are we." Fitz growls.
Her cell rings in her hand forcing her to examine the caller. Eyes flaring she shows them the number. Unknown she answers it, "Hello Babee Ramirez household."
"VERY GOOD BABEE. PUT MY VOICE ON SPEAKER." She cooperates allowing the Officers to hear him, "GOOD EVENING MIAMI'S FINEST." Not a single reply out of any of them. Everyone was too afraid of making him angry and retaliating against their friends or family. Clearing his throat loudly Gabriel continues, "BABEE HAS HAD A ROUGH DAY. I THINK THE REST OF THE NIGHT SHE DESERVES TO BE PAMPERED."
Calliope's eyes grow leery, she knew that very soon now she would be manhandled by her fellow Officer's. Yet again. After the Roll Call fiasco every cop for twenty miles wanted in on the action. For the last two years on the force she had heard it all. If she were a bitch she could have nailed all of them for sexual harassment at one time or another. Being the hottest Cop in Miami brought out the lust. She overlooked their comments, even the pats on the butt. Now the guys were getting to live out their fantasies. All Calliope knew was that one day Gabriel would pay for her abuse. Not that the abuse was all bad. She had just tried to be a good girl like her Mother had raised her to be. Sex was minimal up until recently. Now she was being pushed to make up for lost time. It was stimulating seeing how badly they desired her. No matter who they were or what they looked like. It was their reactions that made her wet.
"Right! Babee needs pampered. Babee sore all over." She pouts while feigning aches and pains from head to toe, "Stiletto heels hurt my tootsies. Babee's back and legs hurt from walking in them all day long."
"THERE YOU HAVE IT GENTLEMEN. ARE YOU GOING TO DENY SUCH A LOVELY YOUNG WOMAN?"
Hank Romero takes one for the team patting his lap, "You come on over here and let Uncle Hank massage those shoulders Sweetheart." Knowing Gabriel was observing she hops up and down on her toes and claps her hands with a giddy response. Her thoughts a different story entirely. Hank was not exactly a handsome man. In his early 50's he had a portly belly and locks of grey hair. Regardless she played along. Scooting around her coffee table with her back to those sitting on her sofa her ass danced right in front of two other Officers to each side of Romero. Looking over her shoulder to see that she was centered she giggles and nestles down into his lap. He opted to sit back to give her room in escaping his belly fat.
"Is that my TV remote between your legs?" She lifts to glare at his crotch then offers a shocked look, "Oooo! Free cable." The guys chuckled at Babee's humor. As she returns to his lap she squirms acting as if trying to get comfy. Hank grinned like the Devil at his fellow Officers, "Sowwy. I think Hanky Panky has been watching Skinemax."
"Who needs that when we have you Cruz?" Hank smirks.
"Untense me." She offers a pouty face looking over her shoulder seductively.
His hands immediately rose to grip her shoulders. His grip strong but not unbearable. As his fingers massaged her aching muscles she coos, "That feels really nice Hanky."
"Your flesh feels really nice Cruz. Soft and silky."
"I'm a girl we should all be soft and silky." She tilts her chin forward as his thumbs compress up her neckline.
"Hey Calliope?" Fitz drew her attention from a peaceful place, "We all know this is hard on you but We gotta know...just how much do you really like this situation Gabriel has you in? I mean the whole situation. Performing your duties wearing pretty much only your badge."
"Stressful but certainly liberating. Do we have to discuss that? I'm supposed to be relaxing not getting upset."
"Yea, shut up Fitz." Tortuga bumps his shoe against his friend.
"AS THE DAYS GO BY BABEE WILL BECOME USED TO HER ROUTINE." Gabriel intervenes, "I REQUIRE HER TO BE CONFIDENT AND PROUD. ALL OF YOU WILL SUPPORT AND PROTECT HER FROM HARM."
"I got her back." Hank chuckles.
"We got her front." Cedric Porter eyes Babee's massive chest bobbing as Hank kneads her shoulders.
"EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU WILL ENJOY HER. IN REPAYMENT YOU WILL KEEP HER SAFE AND TAKE A BULLET FOR HER IF NECESSARY."
"You want us to enjoy you Cruz?"
"Babee just want to be loved." She whimpers knowing that nothing she had to say mattered. Gabriel left her very little choice in voicing her true opinion. Lives were at stake if she refused. She felt he was testing her. If so she would pass with flying colors.
