Sheriff Segan leaned back in his chair and listened to Deputy Lori Adams run down the summary report. There had been three arrests for drunk driving, two for trespassing at the old Gerald Home and one for disorderly conduct. He looked through narrowed eyes at the rookie policewoman.
“What was going on out at the Gerald place?”
“Some of the seniors were partying again.”
“Any one hurt?”
“Not really. The Bryan girl was taken home by David.”
Sheriff Segan chuckled.
“He ever gets caught taking her home and he’ll lose his badge.”
The redhead just smiled. Segan tried not to admire her legs now nicely exposed under the dark blue skirt she wore.
“Any one special on the DUI.s?”
“No. They had too much over at Cheetahs’”
“Damn it!”
The big man slammed his fist hard on the desktop. Lori Adams looked at her boss. The King brothers were going to spoil his day again.
“They have to quit serving like that. How many so far this month?”
“Eight not counting the Scheffield kid. You took care of that one.”
“Yeah. That fucking David has got to learn about that shit.”
“You told him to get tough after the thing in the paper about Cheetahs’.”
“I know, I know. But the guy has to learn some discretion.”
Lori nodded her head in agreement.
“Get me some coffee and the reports on the DUIs and the trespass. I have to do something about that damn place before some one really gets hurt.”
Lori handed him the morning summary with the rest of the reports neatly organized in a folder underneath. He avoided the view of the deep cleavage that was offered.
“Ah Chief, when do you think I can get out and about a bit?”
It was a question that the Sheriff had grown weary of hearing. He didn’t want a female deputy. Mayor Stewart had insisted. He knew Lori had fucked him a few times while she volunteered her time during his last election campaign. Still was. That was how she ended up here.
“Soon Lori. I need to find some one to fill your capable shoes here in the office first.”
“How about Sandy Reed? She’s been looking for work since her husband was hurt.”
Lori gave her one of her patented smiles and then included a wink.
“Sandy hasn’t had a man since Josh was hurt… Dedicated wife and all.”
He smiled at her as she rose to leave his office, her heart shaped ass swaying a bit more than usual. Staring at the closed door, he knew he had a problem. Ms. Adams had her cute little nose in everything that went on in his office, not to mention the rest of the town. And what she knew, it was a good bet Mayor Stewart did too. Even with the little tidbit he now had on the Mayors wife, if things ever got bad he stood a good chance of losing everything. He had worked to long and to hard for that.
Looking at the reports, it hit him. He was still rolling the idea around in his head when the door opened and Lori reentered with his coffee.
“Hot and black with two sugars.”
She handed him the white Styrofoam container.
“Sit for a minute Lori.”
It was time to offer the bait. After she settled into the chair, he leaned back in his chair.
“I was looking at the reports and it hit me. I have to do something about Cheetahs. The Star is killing this department and the Mayor. I think I may have an idea. How’d you like to get your feet wet Lori?”
He watched the corners of her mouth twitch before she caught herself. Inhaling deeply she looked at him.
“You know the answer to that.”
“Okay. This afternoon you and I are going to pay a little visit to Cheetahs. Drift in there and have a good look around. Check for any violations, generally let the King brothers were not happy. You still interested?”
“Yes Sir.”
Then the bright smile faded.
“What’s the matter?”
She looked at the floor for a moment and then at him.
“Would you mind if I went home and changed? This uniform… Well the skirt is for the office and…”
Sheriff Segan raised his hand and chuckled.
“No problem. I’ll hold down the fort while you go change.”
Lori Adams was on her feet and opening the door before she stopped and turned to face him.
“Thank you Sheriff. I won’t disappoint you.”
Rising, he smiled broadly.
“I know you won’t Lori.”
After the door closed, he picked up the phone.
Jose “Joe” King hung up the phone and looked at his brother Juan.
“What that fucker want?”
“He’s getting some heat about the place again. Nothing he can’t handle, but he wants us to do him a little favor.”
“What now?”
Joe didn’t like the Sheriff. Juan absolutely hated him.
“You know that redhead he got stuck with? Lori something or other?”
Juan looked up from the money he was counting.
“Yeah... Big tits... Great ass... A real bitch I hear.”
“Well she getting a little to nosy about the good Sheriffs business.”
Juan shook his head.
“Why don’t he just can her ass?”
“Can’t. She was fucking the Mayor. Probably still is.”
“And what’s he want us to do about it?”
Joe smiled.
“We’re going to try and stick her in here undercover.”
“What the fuck?”
“Take it easy. We got to play this thing just right. We need him a lot more than he needs us.”
Juan didn’t like it, yet he knew Joey was right. Segan let them run their little side business and didn’t ask for much. For a few bucks and some occasional pussy, he came pretty cheap. Still he had to wonder what would happen if the ass hole ever knew how much they made on the other “things”.
“So what we gonna do?”
“They’ll be here in a couple of hours. Clean up the back room, make sure the there’s a few violations in the kitchen and in the bar.”
“That it?”
“No. You got to get cleaned up a little too. Your gonna walk the bitch around and play a little game with her. When she starts whining about money, you give her a few bucks and offer her a “part time” job at the club. Segan will make sure she’s looking. In a few weeks, we turn her out.”
Juan laughed.
“That you or the Sheriff?”
“Him. I hope that fuck never gets pissed at us.”
