Part 2
With their normal leave before they would go to TBS, time passed slowly for Brennan after graduation. Some of the women went home while others took a much-needed vacation away from base. Brennan either sat in her room in the officers' quarters or she spent time with Lisa and Laurie, on occasion Jack and Danny came over to relay that they had no news of Ronnie and that no one had heard from her, not even her mother. After weeks of not even a postcard, Brennan gave up and vowed to herself that she would never love anyone again. Her heart ached and she wanted to stay that way to remind her it was her fault Ronnie had to give a up her career and if she had done what she was trained to do. And not let herself get separated, then none of this would have happened. It was a nightmare she lived with every day for so long that it became her constant companion. She lost a lot of weight and never seemed to sleep, Lisa continued to worry about her friend.
"Brennan come on let's go to the chow hall, you need to eat and you look like shit, if Ronnie could see you right now she would kill me and read you the riot act!"
Brennan's eyes narrowed at her friend, if looks could kill Laura would be weeping over her grave by now!
"Don't tell me what Ronnie would do, she couldn't even stick around after graduation! No she had run off and forget about all of us, so don't mention her name to me again!"
She got up off rack and slammed out of the hatch. Lisa was at a loss as to what to do, she wished she knew where Ronnie was at so she could pound some sense into her head.
"Stupid jarhead I hope where ever you are your three times as miserable as Brennan!" Lisa then left the barracks to make a visit to her Aunt to find out if maybe she had heard from Ronnie.
Brennan sat in her car in Ronnie's driveway, the grass had become knee high with neglect, she just stared at the dark windows and remembered the love she shared behind those walls. She broke down and sobbed until she fell in to a fitful slumber and dreamed of a dark shape watching her from the shadows. She could never get close enough to see who it was. The lightest of the dark shadows moved soundlessly through the trees watching the young woman sitting in the car crying.
"Poor thing so much pain for one so young." The words were whispered on the night air as the un-kept person went back into the shadows to disappear.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Ronnie sat on her bike right outside colonial Beach, her long hair whipped in the wind as she stood and looked out on the Chesapeake Bay. Her World War Two overcoat wrapped around her legs letting the cold air bite in to her legs through her faded Levi's. Tears coursed down cheeks as her heart ached for little blonde she knew she had hurt and would never receive forgiveness for leaving. But she knew if she had stayed, Brennan would never have gone on with her career, she would have risked it all for an old gunny and Ronnie couldn't let her do that. Ronnie felt lucky that she had been given a choice and retirement agreed with her. If she had been busted to a Sergeant, it would have kept her and Brennan in danger of getting a dishonorable discharge for fraternization or worse. The risk was the same for Brennan, but the job Ronnie had now, no one cared either way. At first the guys hit on her until they found out she was a retired drill instructor. Then they just backed off. Her partner laughed every time she came in the office because the men spun around in their chairs and went back to work. Big John her partner was around five-foot- five and 140 lbs and even though being one of the senior guys at work, he had no choice when he was told he would be training her. That got him harassed at work, but he and Ronnie hit it off at the get go. Their sense of humor was the same, warped, demented and full of double meanings and often times it had everyone wondering what the were up to.
Jack and Danny had spent the weekend with Lisa and Laurie, the four of them were trying to figure out what to do about Brennan.
" I just don't know Jack, I have no idea where Ronnie's at and we've got a week before we graduate. I don't know what Brennan's plans are as far as stations go, she is number-one in class. She will have her choice of duty stations, hell she could go to Headquarters Marine Corp's and work with the legal up there."
Lisa gave them a small smile. " I'll be on Main side and working with legal and the MP's and all other goofballs." Laurie wrapped her arms around her wife's neck.
"Go on tell them, stop being so modest."
Danny gave her a narrowed look. "You're holding out on us!"
Well actually I'm No. 2 in the class and main side begged me to come work there, they asked Brennan to."
Danny got a big old Grin on her face. "Ya know Lisa you're my favorite best buddy in the whole green machine, I've got these speeding tickets you see."
Lisa smacked her a good one and finished her sentence for her friend. "And I'm gonna pay every single one of them , yes in dede just like everyone else, yep sure am!"
"Oohh Lisa you're no fun!"
The four of them talked into the wee hours while Brennan drove all around in her beat up little car. She had been doing that a lot lately and visiting the places her and Ronnie used to go to. It just seemed so unreal that she was alone.
Ronnie walked into her and Big John's little cubicle, she had no sooner sat down when her boss poked his head in and told her to find John and meet in his office and 15 minutes. After finding him in his other hang out the vestibule with all the candy machines, shaking the hell out of one of them because it wouldn't give him his M&M's. Ronnie tipped the machine with one hand and slammed it into the wall, half the candy bars in the machine fell into the tray, John's eyes twinkled up at her.
"I just love a butch woman!" As the to two of them walked through the main office John tossed candy to the guys and put the rest in his desk drawer. They spent an hour with their boss and were not happy when they came out. "Oh oohh Moldy and Scuzzy don't look too happy." One of the other guys yelled.
"Why should we be, we have to find out what your true species is jocko." Big John said as he walked past the pear shaped man. "What do you think a fruit or a veggie Ron?"
" I'd say invertebrate. I seen something like him crawling on the beach, I think they call them see slugs!"
It was the day of Brandon and Lisa's graduation they stood in their formation until the last word was given. It was deja'vu, the only thing missing was Ronnie. Tears clouded Brennan eyes as she walked off the parade deck to head back to room to pack. She had decided to take Lisa up on her offer to stay with her and Laurie until she found some place to live since she did not want to live in the BOQ's. She and Lisa had the weekend off and then they would start work on Main side on Monday for the base prosecutor's office.
"OK Ron we seen it, now let's go my little woman has the BBQ ribs waiting on me."
"Like you need them? Your getting to the point were your dress shirt looks like it's going to spit buttons out at me!"
He looked down at this thickly muscled chest and flat stomach. "You should talk, if your tits hang down any lower you'll be able to put them in your pockets to keep them warm!" They grinned at each other and jumped in to John dark blue Ford Taurus. Brennan was bored even though the house was full of celebrating Jarheads, she just didn't feel part of it. She was only one without a date or spouse, so she decided to go to main side to check-in early to her Commanding Officer. She almost hit the floor when she walked into the office and Ronnie's mother sat behind the desk.
"Captain? Aahh I am in the right office aren't I?" She looked at the placard on the door
"Yep your in the right place, surprised to see me?" She asked.
"Well, yeah, but I thought you were Ronnie's CO."
"I was but I decided to come back to my primary MOS. You know, I'm a Yale schooled lawyer, I figured you and Lisa would need some help with these men. So I just happened to fall into my old job and you can call me Major now." She grinned.
Brennan congratulated her on her new job promotion, she wanted so badly to ask about Ronnie but didn't.
" I have a case for you already for Monday, so I'll give it to you then."
"Well, I'm kinda bored, can I have it now, I can work over the weekend on it. Maybe do some research if needed."
Brennan left with a box full of file folders on her new case, she hadn't even asked what it was about. She was sitting on her bedroom floor buried in papers when Lisa came in.
"What in the hell is that?"
"My new case for Monday."
"You already went into the office?"
"I got bored you never guess who or boss is?"
"Go-ahead ruin my day and who is it?"
"Major Mom!"
"Your kidding! Ooh this is going to be fun!" She laughed." My Aunt gets to boss me around for the rest of my life! The amazons are going to love this! So what's your case about?" She asked as she took the only open spot on the bed not covered by papers.
"Serial rapist/murderer, so far there are no suspects, these are just copies of the investigations. The newest one is an officer's daughter found on the railroad tracks two weeks ago and autopsies say it's death by strangulation. This one's a big one, I don't know why mom gave it to me? I don't know where to start?"
"Don't look of me, I'm as lost as you are!"
"Well I do know that FBI is involved as of Monday, of course there would be since some Officers daughter is dead and the hell with the rest of us." Lisa put her hand on Brennan's shoulder.
"I think you just answered your own question about why mom gave the case to you." Brennan sat their and realized Lisa was right. Now was her chance to show who should be punished for crimes against women and how long they go way for. She was still pissed about the sentencing of the men who attacked her. She wished she could have been the one to mutilate the bastards instead of Poni and Ronnie. She remembered Poni arguing with Ronnie about taking the blame for what she did and Ronnie telling her it was better in her eyes to let one career be ruined than two and to leave it alone and go on. Ronnie had given up everything for two people and never ask for anything in return. But it didn't matter because it had been a year and no one had heard from her.
Brennan was sitting in the majors office discussing her new case and waiting for the FBI agents to get there, neither one of them had been given any names of whom the agency was sending. All they had been told was that they would be there to 1300 to meet with everyone involved.
John walked down the hallway with Ronnie behind him mumbling something about his suit looking like something out of the little boys section at Walmart-Mart. He came before an open door and turned to her.
"At least my clothes don't come from Mafia R-US, you and your hit man look."
She wore and Italian cut black suit with pale blue shirt and dark blue tie with a black horizontal stripe and a pair of spit shined cowboy boots. Ronnie tipped her Raybans down and smiled at big John.
He knocked on the door and walked in to see the back of an office chair and the back of a Marine.
"Hello I'm Agent John O'Reilly of the FBI."
The chair spun around as the Major stood, she towered over Big John.
"Jeez is their height requirement for the Marines or what?" Ronnie turned from looking at the brass placard an office door to pale silvery blue eyes.
"Hi Ma long time no see."
"Ronnie I should beat the shit out of you!" Her mother said with a deep growl. Blue eyes smiled at her.
"You tried that for years but you never could catch me." Big John was at a loss, his mouth hung open as his head turned from the Major to his partner like he was watching a tennis match.
Close it John I've seen your toothless mouth before." Walking around her mom's desk, she approached the Marine who still had not turned around, she placed her hand on the small shoulder and spoke with her deep silky voice.
"Brennan?"
Brennan turned, her green eyes filled with tears as she looked up into the face of the only woman she had ever loved. All the pain and anger broke free at that moment. Rage took over, she slapped Ronnie in the face hard enough to split her bottom lip.
"You fucking bitch!"
The Major ushered Big John from her office and closed the door. "Lets get some coffee and let those to have at it for lets say the next 24 hours." John was shocked at his partner, first for who her mother was then for letting a little blonde hit her.
"Ahh Major what did I just see in their?"
"Ooohh that, just my kid getting her ass kicked! And she deserves it to she's been MIA for over a year now."
John laughed as it went down the hall. "That's funny she's been at the FBI academy for...SHIT, a year now!" He looked at the Major "Do you think Blondie in there will leave me a anything to kick around when she's done? I can't believe she was right here and never told you!" Who's the blond anyway?"
"You'll have to ask Ron about that, I don't discuss my kids personal life."
"Oohh never mind, I know who she is, Ron talks of a lot after some Jose Cuervo." He grinned up at the Major. "My wife hates the silent types and J.C. will loosen anybody's tongue."
Ronnie just stood there looking at Brennan with guilt-filled eyes tearing up. "Why did you leave me? I loved you and you just disappeared off the face of the earth! Did I mean so little to you that not even a phone call or card would be thought of?" Her face bright red with anger, she threw clenched hands around beating the air with each word. "I HATE you Ronnie, I hate you with all my heart!" Ronnie tried to pull Brennan in to her arms, the small fists beat on her chest with each word of hate. After a few minutes, Brennan collapsed in to her arms sobbing but still telling Ron she hated her. Along with cheap kidney punches to go with the words. Ronnie just about fell, over when she saw the two most precious women in her life in the same room. It was the sight of Brennan that all most killed her. To see her lover after being gone so long, refusing to even face her. But she didn't blame her one bit after what she had done. She knew she had hurt her, but didn't know to what degree. Tears streamed down her face, then the floodgates opened. Racking sobs over took her stoic demeanor. Brennan had worked her hands up under Ronnie's suit jacket to find hard warm flesh under her dress shirt, she tried to pull herself so close as to try to merge their bodies into one.
"I love you Brennan!" Ronnie placed a soft kiss on her neck. "I've missed you so much, I'm sorry please forgive me!"
Brennan pulled back to see the hurt in Ronnie's swollen blue eyes and then the love that poured from them.
"I love you Ronnie, don't you ever leave me again!" They shared a gentle kiss that developed quickly into a kiss to make up for all the lost time. Brennan broke the kiss to gaze at her lover, noticing the small lines now at the corners of her eyes and the silver at her temples that her fingers were running through.
"Civilian life is aging me." She said giving a small smile
"I'll still think you're beautiful when you're all silver. Here I am hanging all over you and I don't even know if your single?"
That all depends on if you are Brennan?" Brennan gave her a soft kiss. "With that settled lets get out of here I think mom will give us this one indiscretion."
Big John and the Major returned to find her office empty. "Kids I tell ya I'm glad my daughter's already married and has a family lives in Texas! With Ronnie as a daughter Major, I'm surprise your not in the loony bin by now."
"Well believe me I've come close. Well, I guess First Lieutenant Magdoon will brief Ronnie, then you two can compare notes, then we will see what happens."
"Aye aye ma'am!" He grinned as he popped off a salute. "Retired First Sergeant third MarDiv."
"GODS we're every where aren't we?"
"Yep ain't it great?" John replied.
When they got to Lisa's no one was home, before the front door had closed the were halfway up the steps undressing each other as they went. Leaving a trail of cloths the whole way. Inside Brennan's bedroom, they came face-to-face, standing in their underwear. Brennan's eyes started to tear up from looking at her lover. walking into outstretched arms they hugged for what seemed eternity until hands started to explore flesh untouched for so long. Ronnie removed the barriers between them by stripping Brennan the rest of the way, then her own T-shirt and boxers followed, being deftly removed by small hands. The same hands that lead her to the bed and threw her down. Brennan completely covered her lover's body with kisses to work her way back to soft lips. She teased Ronnie's bottom lip with her tongue at first then her teeth, until she pulled it into her mouth. Ronnie flipped them over, taking control of the kiss, she drank deeply of her lovers mouth. Sliding her tongue beside Brennan's she swallowed the moans she caused when she caressed a her firm breast with her callused hand. Kissing her way down, she stopped at each hipbone leaving a kiss and worked her way down to the insides of each thigh, placing kisses closer and closer to her destination. Brennan was thrashing on the bed, her body being tortured from the wait.
"Ronnie, stop teasing me, I'm dying here!" She begged.
The grin on Ronnie's face soon disappeared with her first taste of her lover after so long brought tears to her eyes. It wasn't until this second, that she knew how much she loved her lieutenant and how stupid and selfish she had then by denying them a life together, if that's what Bre wanted.
Brennan felt her lovers tongue slip between her nether lips tasting her juices. As she moved up to circle her enlarged clit. that one touch sent her over. "Rooonnie!" Tremors hit her from deep inside crashing all through her body to leave her limp and wasted in her lover's arms, tears ran down both their cheeks and mingling where their faces were buried in each other's necks.
"I've missed you so much Bre!" She pulled away to look into lovers eyes. "I'm sorry, at the time I thought just leaving was the best but now I know I was wrong."
Brennan wiped the tears from Ronnie's face. "Its over and in the past and you will never get away from me again!" She pushed Ronnie back on the bed and loved her slowly all the way down her body until she was lying between her muscular thighs. Running her tongue up each side of the area between her thigh and nether lips. As she moved closer each time, until she teased her engorged clit with her tongue, pulling it between her lips she lightly sucked until she felt Ronnie's hips keep rhythm. She pulled on it with her teeth and felt shock waves shoot through her lover's body. Pushing two fingers deep inside her, she brought her to another climax and heard her name echoed off the walls. Cuddling together, they fell asleep in the only place they ever wanted to the in each other's arms.
Laurie unlocked the front door, Lisa, Danny and Jack carried bags of groceries in, everyone piled into each other when Laurie stopped dead in her tracks. Bending over, she picked up a black suit jacket, then holding it out in front of her she showed it to the others. "This does not belong to Brennan."
The four of them picked up the trail of discarded clothing, Jack put the dress shirt to her nose. "Who ever he is, he wears Drakar cologne."
Brennan was on her back with the blankets pulled up to her neck one arm was flung out to the side and the other one was flung across the warm body cuddled against her stomach. After listening for noises, Lisa opened the bedroom door slowly to see Brennan asleep. They crept in and Danny picked up the tank top off the floor along with the silk boxers, she showed Lisa who stood leaning over the bed. She whispered in Brennan's ear.
"Bre who's the guy?"
Bre mumbled something so Danny took over, pulling her little finger from her mouth, she stuck it in to Bre's ear and pulled out making a popping sound. Bre grabbed her ear as her eyes flew open, her voice thickened with sleep, she croaked.
"WHAT!"
"Who's the guy?"
"GO AWAY PONI!" Came from under the blanket. Four shocked faces looked at the huge lump under the covers, an evil grin came to Poni face. Grabbing the covers, she whipped them off the bed to reveal Ronnie wrapped around Bre's body. "By the GODS Ronnie you bitch!" Yelled Poni at the top of her lungs. Jack did her war cry and screamed for the Amazons to attack. Six bodies rolled around the bed with Danny yelling her usual about group sex. After minutes of wrestling, they all calmed down to one big heap of bodies. Lisa tapped Brennan on her forehead and gave her the cocked eyebrow look.
"We thought you became a trader and had some man up here!"
"Why would you think that?" She asked them.
"Because we found men's clothes all the way up the steps." She bent down and pick up the jacket and a black wallet fell out, flipping it open, she saw a gold badge with FBI across it and Ronnie's ID card on the other side.
"Wholly shit guys Ronnie's Fucking Bureau of Investigation's!" Poni went nose to nose with her friend. "What were you investigating under the blankets in here Special Agent?" Her eyes twinkled and with her trademark grin, she answered. "Kinky sex and the women and who enjoy it." Brennan's face was beet red. "Can we get dressed now or is everybody gonna sleep with us?"
Brennan covered her face. "I can't believe I just said that."
"Oooohhh I thought she'd never ask!" Poni latched onto Ronnie's leg. "Ronnie's allll mine!"
Jack leaned into her wife and grabbed her by her ear and gave her something to think about. "You know the term in intensive care? Well that's where you'll be if you don't get up off Ronnie!" Poni looked to see green eyes glaring at her.
"Just kidding Bre." She started to crawl on her hands and knees backwards off the bed.
"Gods your easy Poni." Bre laughed. Poni looked to her wife.
"Am I easy?" Jack slid her hand up between Poni's legs and rubbed her groin, she moaned and fell face first into the bed. "Does that answer your question?"
The kitchen was overflowing with laughter as the group sat drinking Foster's beer and throwing popcorn down the front of Jack's shirt, they knew they would pay when she woke up. But they didn't care they were all happy that Ronnie was home and back with Bre. Their family was once again complete.
@@@@@@@@@@
Ronnie told them about her training for the FBI. Brennan smacked her for not telling her that she was one credit away from graduating from college. Her reply was.
"You never asked?"
"Is it going to be a problem which both of you working on the same case?" Lisa looked down at her fingers peeling label from her beer bottle.
"No I think you'll feel a little easier, after all we'll have plenty of bedside chats to discuss strategies trying to catch this asshole." The week was spent gathering information and going over all the old records, Ronnie sat at her desk with folders piled all across the front. Big John could hardly see her.
"Got anything yet?" He asked.
"Yeah eyestrain and a headache! John nothing matches with these women, they all look different, they had nothing in common, there different places no connection with friends some are depends or military. They don't belong to any group, nothing. I think he just goes out and grabs someone, and the MO is all the same. Death by strangulation all cloths are quartered and are placed neatly beside the body with their shoes at the bottom. It reminds me of J O B (junk on the bunk USMC inspection) the way everything is laid out, we could be looking for a military person or someone who is a dependent.
"What did the profiler say?" He asked.
"Call Clarice Starling." John chuckled at her. "To bad it's not Hannibal Lector, maybe we could give some good Pate`."
"You eat that stuff?" John wiggled his eyebrows oh I eat many things but one thing I really enjoy." John leaned close to her and Lowed his voice. "Something with real whipped cream all over it."
Ronnie's mind fell in the gutter. "Brennan covered with whipped cream and me licking it off a little at a time, bringing moans and whimpers from my lovers lips right up until she screams my name." Ronnie pulled on the collar of her shirt which had gotten tight all of a sudden and a certain other area of her body that was throbbing.
"And can't you just feel those big old chunks just swimming around in your mouth covered with cream?" Ronnie's face paled with the mention of chunks. John was loving it and the look of complete ecstasy on his face as he smacked his lips, he watched the green pallor go up her neck. "And the flavor as they melt in your mouth!"
"John that is the most disgusting mental picture you have done yet."
"What you don't like pineapple and whipped cream?"
Ronnie's jaw dropped open, she groaned as she leaned back in her chair.
"BASTARD!"
"Gotcha you fell right in the gutter! But I like your picture to, Brennan covered with whipped cream eating pineapple chunks." Ronnie couldn't help but laugh at her partner and the true love of his life, food! She was amazed at how fast he threw her mind into the gutter with his little play on word games.
"OK ...lets just focus on the last one and work our way back." After few hours went by with both of them writing notes down, then John tossed his papers in front of her.
"Tell me what you don't see?" Ronnie read the report again, her eyebrows arched up at him. "OK, I don't see it." Ronnie sat there looking at him like he was nuts. "John stop beating around the bush and come out with it."
"No pictures." She looked at him. "How would you like your funeral?" John searched through the records. "Where is the toxicology records?"
"Not back yet, figure we've got four homicides in one month, it takes three to four weeks to get the tests back."
"Shit we're screwed Ronnie!" John groaned.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Brennan and Ronnie were at her house cleaning of all the cobwebs from the corners and doing a general field day of the place so Ronnie could move her stuff from the FBI Academy back into her own house. Ronnie was in the bedroom putting clean sheets on the bed when Brennan came in and noticed the shadow type boxes on the one wall. Getting closer, she saw that one was all of Ronnie's ribbons on one side and chevrons made of solid gold from private first-class to GySgt on the other. The middle was empty, the box above the smaller one held an officer's sword and scabbard, tears came to Brennan's eyes as she remembered putting her sword on the handlebars of Ronnie's Harley.
"You kept it!" Ronnie stepped up behind her and enfolded her in a warm embrace.
"Of course I did, I will always cherish that sword and I never got to thank you for it." She turned Bre in her arms and kissed her softly, looking back to the wall, Bre asked about the empty spot.
"That's where my discharge certificate is supposed to be."
"Supposed to be?" Brie questioned. "I never got it." She shrugged her shoulders and pulled Bre back in to her arms. Bre slipped away and ran off after giving Ronnie a quick kiss. She came back 10 minutes later carrying a photo envelope that she handed to her lover. Ronnie opened it and pulled out a certificate of Honorable Discharge signed by the Commandant of the Marine Corps. Tears came to Ronnie's eyes as she looked over the certificate in her hand. Bre took down the box and together they filled the blank space. Ronnie cupped her lover's face in her hands looking deep into sea green eyes she thanked her with a loving kiss.
"Where did you get that from Bre? I was retired with a general discharge not an Honorable."
"I know, but when yours came, Jack gave it to me and I kind of went off, and ended up at the Pentagon in the Commandants office."
"You what! My Gods you could have ended up in the brig! Why did you do that?"
"Cuz you deserved more and after I told the old dog the whole story he made a phone call and five minutes later his clerk came and handed him that. He signed it and said he was sorry that the Corps had lost such a brave Marine because of some assholes and their views on WM's.
"You are unbelievable you know that?"
@@@@@@@@@@
Ronnie sat at her desk with papers all over the place, with creases across her forehead, she rubbed her eyes. "Something's missing, this can't be all there was at the crime scene." She grabbed the phone.
"Legal department, Lieutenant Magdoon can I help you?"
"What are you wearing?" A deep voice asked.
A smile broke out on Brennan's face. "A pair of handcuffs and nothing else."
"What kind of cuffs?"
"Oohh I think there some MPs if I'm not mistaken."
"What!"
"Hi honey, want to do me for lunch?" Brennan asked.
Ronnie's soft chuckles could be heard over the phone. "Do I get the same offer for supper?"
Leaning back in her chair she put her feet up on the desk and thanked who ever for the private office since she was in a skirt and knew the feet on the desk was in no shape or form ladylike.
"All that depends on how well you cook for lunch."
"Just wait and see, anyway I got a question about the case, why don't I have any crime scene pictures and the inventory sheet of the collected evidence on any of the cases?"
Brennan returned to a more normal sitting position. "I don't know let me look in my files." She came back a few minutes later to the phone. "Ronnie I don't have any either, now this can't be an oversight, all four cases with the same paper were missing?"
"No something's wrong, who were the investigating officers? I'm missing that paperwork to.
"Tell you what honey I'll get everything over here copied and I'll bring it home with me at lunch time."
"Ok, but I know that I'll be too busy to look at them!"
Ronnie laid with her back propped against pillows looking through the case
files, her brows gathered over the bridge of her nose in concentration, the deep growl that rose from her chest woke Brennan from sleep. She turned her head from its resting place on her lover stomach to see flashing blue eyes, her lover's name came out as a croak.
"Ron what's wrong?" Ronnie dropped the file over the side of the bed with a thwack.
"Part of all the reports are missing, someone's covering it up!"
Bre crawled up her lover's body, taking her place in strong arms, and tucking her head under Ronnie's chin, she mumbled for her to get some sleep. The next morning Major Mom sat behind her desk reading the latest Playboy issue. Her feet were crossed at the ankles and resting in the center of her desk when Brennan walked in.
"Major can I speak to you?" A blush went from her neck to her hairline when Bre saw what the Major was reading.
"Would you look at this shit!" She turned the centerfold so Bre could see it. "She ain't no real blond!" Bre couldn't help but notice since the majors finger was pointing out the area to her "They should make the bitches shave if they ain't gonna dye everything!" Bre caught herself paying too much attention to the
picture.
"Uhm.... ahh.. yeah your right they should shave.... I mean.... never mind." Seeing an image of her shaving Ronnie flashed through her head, she was brought out of her fantasy by the Major hitting her on the head with the magazine. A sheepish grin came over her face.
"Sorry, who do I speak to about the reports on the case I'm working on?"
"The Investigating Officers, why?"
"Well that's the problem; I don't know who they are." After explaining, what her and Ronnie found, the Major made a phone call then sent Brennan to the MP shop where she was given a run-around until she was standing in front of one of NIS guys.
"Are you Tom Ashford?" She asked the tall sandy hair man who was standing there stripping her clothes off with his eyes.
"Yeah, what do you want?" Bre was taken back by his lack of respect.
@@@@@@@@@@@@
Ronnie threw all files in her backpack and headed out the door, passing John, she yelled over her shoulder that she was going to see her mom. She found her Ma in the same position that Bre had earlier except she was laughing so hard tears came to her eyes. The magazine was yanked from her hands and the centerfold was pulled out again.
"What the fuck! The phony bitch." Ronnie pulled the picture closer to eyes. "There's enough silicone in there to make a set tires for my truck and she's not even a real blond!" Ma grinned at her daughter.
"Is Bre?" Ronnie lowered the magazine and gave her Ma 'The Look."
"Ain't you the lucky one." Ma replied.
Ronnie grinned at her. "Speaking of the real deal, where is my woman?"
"She's over at the MP shop chasing down paperwork and the Investigating Officer's on her case.

Brennan's blood pressure was skyrocketing fast. "And I don't give a damn if your
the fucking Adjutant General, you're not getting any of my files, so just haul
your ass out of my office. You split tales have no business in a man's world! The only thing you're good for is laying on your back!"
Brennan was just about to jump over the desk at him when a hand came down on her shoulder stopping her. In two quick strides, Ronnie had Ashford by his throat and on his back across his desk. Silvery blue eyes bore into his shocked brown eyes.
"You need to show some respect to women, not to mention an officer! So what ever she was asking for I suggest you give it to her or I'll let her tear you apart!"
Ashford pointed to a stack of folders on top of his filing cabinet, Brie grabbed them then stood in the hallway waiting for Ronnie. Ashford clutched his throat and glared at Ronnie's back.
"Fucking Dyke I'll report you!" Ronnie turned around and flashed a toothy grin.
"Go right ahead, the names Agent Xeronin Flaherty, and I'm sure your CO will be thrilled with what I have to tell him." After they left Ashford grabbed his phone, when the other party picked up he whispered into the handset. "We got a problem, I need to see you ASAP!"
Ronnie and Brennan were in Brennan's office, still shaky after what happened in Ashford's office Ronnie pulled close the door then pulled Bre into her arms and held her.
"You ok?"
"I am now, Gods I wanted to punch the shit out of him! I've never had anyone talk to me like that!"
"He's a first-class chauvinistic dick, I should send Poni over to rough him up." Ronnie felt the chuckles coming from her small lover.
"I can see it now Amazon Recon Patrol." Brennan pulled back a little to gaze up her lover, when a wicked
grin came over her face to match flashing green eyes.
"Xeronin?" Bre questioned. Ronnie closed her eyes and groaned.
"Uhm...well... shit! Don't you dare tell anybody!" She pleaded.
"It's better than what I thought it would be."Bre stepped back a few steps to be on the safe side.
"Veronica."
"Try being called Xero, does wonders for little kids ego. Thank the Gods I was
already this tall at twelve and could intimidate all the trolls." Brennan planted her hands on her hips giving Ronnie her rendition of 'The look', she growled.
"So I'm a troll?" Ronnie's eyes grew wide her mouth opened but nothing came out. Brie stepped up to her and poked her in the chest. "Am I?" She asked again.
"But your my little cuddly BEAUTIFUL troll!" Ronnie prayed that she had just pulled her foot from her mouth.
"You're lucky I love you so much, otherwise I'd tell Poni what your real full name is."
"She knows, but she also knows that I'd tell everybody her middle name." Ronnie grinned evilly.
"Do tell."
"Nope!"
A glean came to green eyes. "I'll tell her what you like to do on the Harley."
"Ooohhh shit, all right it's Danettella Esmeralda Poninski."
"Gods have mercy, what the hell were her parents thinking?"
"Now you know why she's so whacked, you ready go home?"
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Ashford sat in his car on a dirt road in Dumfries waiting, within moments headlights cut across his windshield blinding him. He got out of his car and waited for the black car to stop, the driver's side window came down and a cell phone was handed out. "Sir we have a problem the FBI is now involved in the
case and prosecuting Attorney has my files." Ashford wiped the sweat from his face with a nervous hand as he listened. "No Sir the files have been doctored up, but if they start asking too many questions someone's bound open their mouth. Yes Sir, I'll take care of it." Ashford handed the phone back to the driver and waited until the car was gone.
"Spooky ass son of bitch."
@@@@@@@
Ronnie and Brie drove their vehicles towards home trying to keep the relationship a secret from the Corps. Brie always parked her car at Lisa's and walked to Ronnie's house. Ronnie pulled the truck in the drive and leaned out the window.
"If you don't see my truck don't worry I'm loaning it out."
"Ok I'll see you in a little bit." Bre said her hellos to her housemates then went to her room to change out of her uniform. When she started changing, she flipped open one of the folders she had gotten from Ashford. Scanning the report and finding it weird that it was so short; she looked at the bottom where the names of the Investigating Officer's always signed. She grabbed the paper. "What hell!" Half undressed, she spread the folders out on her bed, so engrossed in the papers; she never heard the noise behind her. All she felt was the weight
of a body crushing her into the mattress.
"Take off your clothes!" Bre panted.
"You vile, perverted, uncouth pig!"
"Gods your sooo sexy when you talk mean."
"Ronnie I HATE when you sneak up on me like that! How'd you get in here anyway?" Ronnie grinned.
"Through the window." Bre rolled over on her back but stayed under her lover.
"Ya know we do have doors you could use."
"Yep, but this is more fun, kinda like playing cat burglar."
"What'd ya do shimmy up the drainpipe?"
"Oh I have many skills but pipes ain't one of them. Well, not that kind of pipe. I thought you were coming over?"
"I was but I got sidetracked when I started looking at the fictitious signatures for Investigating Officer's."
"How do you know their phony?"
"Because." Bre grabbed one and showed it to Ronnie. "Cagney and Lacey went off the
air years ago that's why."
"What?" She looked at the signature. "Motherfucker! What about the rest of
them?"
Bre squirmed on the bed. "Let's see, we have Starskey and Hutch, Andy Griffith, Barney Fife and the last one is Joe Friday and Perry Mason." Bre's eyebrow cocked at her lover. "Any questions?"
"That's it he's a dead man, I'm gonna beat the living shit out of that son of a bitchin Ashford, he's gotta be the one behind all this, but what is he covering up?"
"But how are we could find out who the real officers were on this case and all the other ones?"
Ronnie closed her eyes and leaned back. "Only thing we can do is check with the EMT's who showed up on the scene and see if their records have the Investigating Officers names and if they don't have them, then will check the coroners office."
Bre wrapped her arms around Ronnie's neck and pulled her head down to rest on her chest.
"I don't like any of this, there's just something to weird about."
Ashford sat alongside the dark road hidden in the dark watching Ronnie's house, he ducked down in the seat when he saw her truck pull out on to the road. He waited until the truck was half a mile down the road before he started his car and began to follow. He knew the road that they were on was deserted with just a few farmhouses that sat far away from the road, And at one area, they would come to a small bridge that went over a creek that was at least 30 ft. below. As they got closer to that area, he sped up until we was right on the truck's bumper, ramming it from behind he tried to push it off the road, all he accomplished was making it swerve.
John panicked; he wasn't paying attention to his surroundings, so when the truck was hit from behind he wasn't ready for it. Over correcting the slide, the truck was put into, left him broadside across the road. The car
behind him slammed in to him and pushed him off the edge of the bridge causing the truck to fall and land on the passenger side in the creek bed. John was bounced around in the truck. The seat belt holding him in the seat but with the impact, he was jerked so hard this head cracked the window knocking him into
unconsciousness. Ashford stopped his car, got out, and looked down at the truck, not wanting to risk being caught in that area he quickly jumped back in his car and took off in the opposite direction.
John didn't know how long he was out, but the first thing he noticed was the scent of gasoline inside the truck's cab. His left arm was numb and he could feel warmth running down the side of his face from his temple. His right leg had sharp pains shooting through it along with his ribs where the seat belt pressed in to him. With the position of the truck on it side, he was hanging by the seat belt. He tried unlocking the seat belt but it wouldn't release. Trying to get his hand in his pocket to get his pocketknife out, he couldn't get his hand inside his pocket. He started jerking on the seat belt, but it did no good, panicking, he knew he had to get out of the cab before the truck caught on fire and exploded. Feeling around floor and the passenger seat, he tried to find something sharp; he felt the handle of a knife wedged between the smashed door and the seat. Pulling as hard as he could, he finally got the knife loose. After cutting the seat belt, he fell towards passenger door, sharp pains shot through his body from the impact. He tried to get his bearings back and find a way out of the truck but with the darkness of night, it was hard to see anything. Feeling around with his hand and finding the windshield missing, he pulled himself clear of the truck and started crawling away from it. Reaching in his jacket pocket, he found his cell phone. Hitting the speed dial he called Ronnie's house but got no answer, he then dialed Lisa's house.
"Hello."
His voice filled with pain he managed to ask for Brennan.
"She's upstairs hold on a minute." Lisa pounded on Brennan's door. " Brennan you have a phone call."
"Who is it?"
"I don't know, I think its John, Ronnie's partner?"
"Ok hold on a minute I'll grab it in here."
Brennan and answered the phone but could barely hear John talking, she quickly handed the phone to Ronnie who kept calling his name.
"John where are you?" All she could make out was truck and creek. Her face paled and her hands started
to shake, she got up off the bed and started to go out the door but was stopped by Brennan grabbing her arm.
"What's wrong Ronnie?"
"I don't know, its John something about truck in the creek. I've got to go check it out."
"You're not going alone, I'm going with you!"
"No you're staying here!"
"No, no, no! I am going with you, I don't care what you say, and you might need help!"
Ronnie gave in she knew it was useless to argue with Brennan. She waited for Brennan to change clothes then they ran down the steps. Lisa and Laurie watched them run past; they knew something was wrong so they went out the door after them.
"Ronnie what's wrong?" Lisa asked.
"I don't know but something's wrong with John, I have to find out what happened."
"Come on we'll take my truck." The four of them piled in to her truck and headed off down the road. Lisa asked Ronnie where John was headed with her truck, she told her that he was using it to get lumber so he could build something in his house. They knew that there was only one creek in that area so that's the direction that they headed. Being the paranoid type, Ronnie kept checking behind them to make sure no one was following them. Laurie sat in the back with Brennan wondering what the two of them had gotten themselves into this time. Lisa came up on the bridge slowly scanning the area to see if she could see Ronnie's truck. When she stopped, they got out and Lisa grabbed a flashlight from the glove compartment and started shining it on the road and at the edges. That's when she saw the skid marks. She called to Ronnie and they followed the skid marks to the edge of the bridge, that's when they seen her truck lying on its side down below. They ran to the end of the bridge and started to climb down the embankment to get to the truck. At the bottom, they started calling John's name,
they got no answer, and then Brennan found him lying about 20 ft. from where the truck was. She yelled to Ronnie that she had found him and that they needed an ambulance.
Ashford pulled his cell phone from his pocket and hit the speed dial. "Sir it's done, she's been taking care of, now the only one that's left is that Lt. but I think I can just scare her away from the case since she doesn't have her dyke to stick up for her." Ashford shut off his phone and put it back in his pocket. He drove to the mall in Spotsylvania where he had stolen the car he was driving. He parked it amongst the rest of the vehicles then walked to the opposite side of the mall to retrieve his own car and head home.
The small group was in the waiting room at the hospital waiting to hear of John's condition. It had taken the fire department and Sheriffs Department over an hour to get him up the embankment because of his injuries and now he was in surgery repairing his broken leg and arm. Ronnie had called his wife and she was
on her way. Ronnie paced the floor mumbling under her breath that it was all her fault, she knew from the skid marks on the road that John had been forced off the bridge and that whoever had done it, thought that she was driving. Brennan tried to calm her lover down but the faraway look in Ronnie eyes kept her seated. At this point, no words would get through to her. Brennan would just have to wait, she knew once they found out his condition she would be able to talk some sense into Ronnie. For now, she would let her pace.
An hour later, John's Doctor came into the waiting room and gave them a report of the procedures that were carried out in the operating room. They were told that John was in ICU an they would have to wait until morning to see him because of the extensive repairs they had done to stop internal bleeding and repair the
broken bones in his arm and leg. And that for them to go home and get some rest. Ronnie and Brennan lay in bed but Ronnie couldn't sleep, she laid and stared at the ceiling and stroked the blond head that was resting on her chest. She started to get up but small arms clutched her closer keeping her from moving. Exhaustion finally hit her and she drifted into sleep. Ronnie sat at John's desk searching through the file folders that she found
stashed in the bottom desk drawer, she was looking for the tiniest of clues to push her in the direction of the person who tried to kill her or the reason why. Her biggest worry was Brennan, that if anything ever happened to Brennan, she didn't know if she would be able to control herself. She couldn't sit in office anymore, she had to get out and do something. Leaving the office, she got in to John's car and headed towards base to Brennan's office.
She replayed over in her mind everything that had happened since they got on the case. They had barely
talked to anybody except for the parents of the victims, it was basically just desk work. Still mulling the information over her brain, she hadn't realized that she had gotten to Brennan's office until she heard her lover call her name. Coming out of her stupor, she blinked at her lover. Brennan smiled at her from behind her desk.
"Where were you just now?" She asked.
Ronnie rubbed her eyes and trying to ease the stress from them. "I was just
thinking and trying to come up with a reason why somebody would want me dead? Do
you wanna go get some lunch?"
Brennan grinned at her. "You need ask?" Grabbing her cover out of her in box Brennan started following Ronnie out of her office. Stepping close to her, she grabbed Ronnie's ass as she stepped past her as she went out the door. Whispering just loud enough for Ronnie to hear her, she asked if they would have time for dessert?"
"That all depends on where you wanna have lunch?"
"I know this nice little place out in the middle of nowhere, are you game for it?"
Brennan was answered and with a grin. They had just gotten into John's car when Ashford was pulling into the parking lot, he did a double take when he seen Ronnie driving.
"Son of a bitch!" He slammed on the brakes to avoid sideswiping another car in the parking lot. He reached in his pocket and grabbed his cell phone, hitting the speed dial he broke the news to the party on the other end. "It wasn't her last night, she's still alive!" Jerking the phone from his ear so that his hearing would not be damaged from the yelling. He spoke into the phone from arms length away. "Sir I'll take care of it tonight. I promise I'll make sure it's her this time." With that, he hung up the phone. Thinking out loud to
himself. "I should have just gone in there and shot both of them, well this time there will be no mistake!" Circling the parking lot, he went back out knowing this called for certain items. He had to go get them and prepare for that night.
Ronnie and Brennan just barely made it through the front door before Brennan had her pinned up against the wall.
"I say we skip the lunch thing and get right to the desert!" She received a growl as her hands moved from Ronnie's hips up her chest to tangle in long black hair. Pulling Ronnie's head down, their lips connected in a fierce kiss. Pulling Ronnie away from the wall, Brennan walked her backwards towards the couch. Without losing contact, she pushed her down across the cushions. Bre broke the kiss, her lips trailed across Ronnie's jaw to her
neck while at the same time her fingers undid the buttons of her shirt. Surprised at finding bare flesh beneath her fingers she brought her head up to find blue eyes.
"You have truly shocked me! No bra, no t-shirt, I can just imagine what was going on in your brain all day!"
"Oohhh just in the same place it always is, the gutter." Ronnie started undoing the buttons on Brennan's Cami jacket.
"Oohh no this is my dessert, you can have yours later." Pinning Ronnie's hands over her head, Brennan attacked her lips once more. Then moved her way downward. Ronnie's heart skipped a beat as Brennan straddled her hips, Brennan whispered in to her lover's mouth.
"No touching!" She received a groan from Ronnie. After releasing her hands, she started caressing her breasts. Nimble fingers brought nipples to hardened peaks as soft lips worked their way down her throat with her teeth slightly nipping a flesh. Ronnie felt warm fingers slid down her stomach towards her belt. All was forgotten when one of her nipples was sucked into a warm mouth. Bre undid Ronnie's belt and zipper on her trousers without loosing contact with her lovers flesh. Running her fingers under the waistband, she played with soft dark curls. Teasing the lips they covered, moans came from her lover along with small thrusts of her hips hinting at more than just a teasing touch was wanted. Bre moved up to kiss Ron deeply, stealing her breath, their tongues tangled and dual together. Ron broke the kiss when she felt a finger slip inside her. Gasping she fell back on the couch, her hips bucked upwards.
Moving downward, Bre sucked the soft skin of her lover's breast into her mouth, nipping with her teeth. She heard the groan come from Ronnie's chest, sucking hard once more; she released the skin to see a dark bruise left behind. Grinning at her mark of possession, she worked her way down leaving butterfly kisses in her wake. Ronnie was going crazy with the assault on her body, every nerve ending was screaming. She never felt her trousers or boots being taken off. All she felt was the soft blonde hair cascading over her thighs and the tongue
licking her throbbing nether lips. Her thighs flexed and tightened lifting both of them up off the couch, Bre's tongue slipped between her lips, tasting the sweet juices flowing out with each heartbeat. Hanging on to thrusting hips; she captured the swollen nub of nerve endings between her lips and flicked it with her tongue.
"Bre...oooohhhh Gods...inside meee!!!! Two fingers slipped back inside of her, thrusting with the time of her rising hips. Bre sucked hard on her clit sending Ronnie over with a war cry. Licking the last of the juices away, she raised her head from between Ronnie's trembling thighs. Her lips and chin glistening, she crawled up her lover's exhausted body. Blue eyes watched her from half -closed lids, a feral look on her face as she lifted Bre up to straddle her hips. Pulling the webbed belt loose she pulled the front of her Cami trousers open. Bre stood up and let her trousers fall around her ankles. Kicking them off one leg, she started on the other but was pulled back down by Ronnie. Lifting her up by her hips, she pulled her over her mouth, burying her face between her
lover's thighs, she licked hungrily at the juices that covered her lips.
With one hand on the back of the couch for balance, she caressed her own breasts, pinching her nipple between her fingers brought her closer to the edge as she pumped her center into her lover's mouth. Ronnie opened her eyes and watched her lover, she was already aroused but this caused her nether lips to twitch. Sliding two fingers in to Bre from behind, she felt her lover's walls clamp down on them, pumping deeply into her, she felt the muscles tighten and then all stilled as Bre went over the edge taking them both with her. Juices flowed over Ronnie's fingers and between her own thighs. Bre fell forward over her and then moved back down to
lay on her chest and bury her face in Ronnie's damp hair. Their bodies trembled with aftershocks, wrapping her arms around Bre; they fell in to a deep sleep.
A pounding on the door woke Ronnie, not being able to move because of her lover wrapped around her body, she yelled for who ever was there to go the hell away. The door burst open to show Poni and Jack standing there with amused looks on their faces.
"Think they need help?" Poni asked.
"Maybe an IV or something." Jack chuckled.
Jack stood beside the couch and poked Ronnie in her shoulder. "You lover are in deep shit with Mom, she's been calling all over Hell looking for Brennan!"
"Oh shit." She groaned. "What time is it?"
"Try 1700, Mom thinks you two have been kidnapped! She knew you guys went to lunch but didn't expect to not hear from either one of you two all day."
Poni stood at the opposite end of the couch with a stupid grin on her face which
changed to a guilty one as soon as two sets of eyes trapped her. "Very nice!" She replied. "Gotta camera?" She heard growls and ran for the kitchen as a snapping Jack came after her.
"Princess, time to get up." All she got was a mumble, a wicked grin came over
her face. SMACK!
"Hey what was that for?" Bre asked. Ronnie gave her a soft kiss then rolled them over. "For flashing Poni."
"Huh, Poni I didn't flash Poni, I haven't seen her in a couple of days." Her ears picked up some noise and before she knew it, Poni was hurdling over the couch to stand on the other side ready to run if needed. Bre groaned and pulled a pillow over her head.
"Yeah ya did." Ronnie got up and covered Bre with the blanket off the back of the couch, then headed to the kitchen to use the phone to call her Mom. Jack came flying over the couch and tackled Poni, they rolled on
the floor until they ended up at the side of the couch. Bre leaned over to look down at them.
"Having fun?" Poni looked up at her grinning. "I had fun earlier just watching!"
Jack growled and bit Poni in the side of her neck. "Aaahhhhh, Gods have mercy Jack, I love it when your rough!" They continued to roll around on the floor moaning and groaning. Bre crawled over the back of the couch and joined Ronnie in the kitchen. She was holding the phone away from her ear, her face scrunched
up with one eye closed at the yelling coming over the phone. Bre grinned at her lover and sat on her lap; she took the phone and winced when she put it to her ear.
"Mom calm down, OK OK, I know... well we....yes Ma'am...No....ok...we will,
bye." She hung up the phone and looked at her lover. "Uh oh, she is NOT a happy camper!"
Ronnie chuckled. "But I am, so who cares?"
"Mom says we need to get beepers." Ronnie grinned at her. "The kind with the vibrating things in them?" She asked. Bre cocked her eyebrow.
"We'd have to get a lot of batteries wouldn't we?" A loud yell came from the living room just as Ronnie was about to answer her.
"Guess we better stay in here for a while, besides I'm hungry."
The four of them were sitting in the living room watching TV when gunshots came through the front window of the living room, Ronnie rolled over on to Bre taking them both to the floor. Poni and Jack crawled towards the kitchen.
"Go with them and stay low." Ronnie whispered. Just as she was getting up to grab her gun from the coffee table a shot whizzed past her head to take out the lamp on the end table throwing the room in to darkness. She scrambled to the far corner of the room and pulled a corner of the carpeting up to reveal a hidden
door, pulling it up she dropped down in to the blackness below. The three of them searched the kitchen for weapons to defend themselves against who ever was outside trying to use them as target practice. Ronnie emerged from the crawl space door at the back of the house and ran for the sheltering shadows of the trees. She waited for the shooter to give away their position so she could get to them before he shot one of her friends or her lover. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a small glimmer of steel from the side of the house near the living room. Creeping out of the trees, she ran to the opposite side of the house and waited. The shooter looked into the darkness, the night goggles giving everything a green cast, he raised the rifle up to his cheek and was about to take a shot at the body he saw huddled by the door frame to one of the rooms, when he heard a sound behind him. He pulled the trigger and spun trying to take out the person behind him.
Ronnie was about to bring her gun down on the shooters head when she heard the shot and then a cry of pain come from inside the house. She froze with the raised pistol over her head and never saw the barrel swing towards her. A searing pain went through her head as she crashed to the ground landing on one of the landscaping ties at the front of her house. The wind was knocked out of her. All she could do was lay there and gasp.
Two bodies fought on the ground; the rifle had been lost when the body crashed through the bay window and hit him. Ashford fought for his life, when he saw the knife blade flash past his face, he then felt the blade slam into his shoulder, and he screamed at the burning and lashed out with his fist connecting with a solid punch. The body over him fell to the side allowing him to get up and run for his car that was hidden down the road.
Bre ran to Ronnie's side in time to see him running for the road, she picked up the pistol and fired off six shots at the running figure, she didn't know if she hit anything and didn't care, all that concerned her was Ronnie. Jack groaned from the ground beside a still gasping Ronnie. Holding her jaw, she laid the other one on her friends shoulder.
"You all right?"
"Yeah, except for the ribs that I think are broken and the dent in my head." She looked up at her friend then over to where Bre was standing with her pistol in her hand.
"Bre?" Hearing her lover's voice, she came out of her trance, spinning around; she dropped to her lover's side.
"Are you all right? When I seen you on the ground I thought you were..." Tears ran down her cheeks to be wiped away by Ronnie's fingers.
"I'm ok." Looking around she didn't see Poni. "Where's Poni?"
"I'm right here, is everyone ok?" Limping, she came over to join her friends and lover. "I could use some loving care here ya know."
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Poni was leaning over the kitchen table with her pants around her ankles.
"Mother fuck that hurts Ronnie!" She screamed.
"I can't help it, if your ass wasn't so big, the bullet would have missed and I wouldn't be doing this!"
Poni growled at her and winced with each pull of the needle. "Sweety, is my ass big?" She asked Jack.
"No it's perfect and as soon as I can move my jaw I'll kiss your boo boo and make it better." This brought a big grin to Poni's face.
"You promise?" SMACK! "Oooowww…Ronnie!"
"You're all done."
"But your not." Bre said as she came over to Ronnie with bandages.
"I'm OK really; I think they're just bruised." Bre ran her hand along her ribcage and got a gasp for her answer.
"Right, now take off your shirt!"
"In front of them?" She gasped ay her lover.
"Like they haven't seen EVERYTHING before!"
Ronnie removed her shirt and growled at a grinning Poni. "Stop it!"
"Oh but it's ok to play with my ass?"
After everyone was all bandaged up, they went into the living room to try and straighten it up. "Ron, ya have any ideas as to why someone wants us all dead?" Jack asked.
"Nope, but I'm gonna find out."
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Ashford slumped in the kitchen chair after pressing a towel to his throbbing shoulder; he hadn't even realized that the knife was still sticking out of his shoulder until he was half way home. And now, with his body relaxing, he felt the pain in his leg. Ripping his pant leg open, he saw the huge exit hole in the front of his thigh and knew that a smaller one was in the back. He knew that he couldn't go to the hospital because they would call the police and there would be questions as to how he managed to be both stabbed and shot. So the best he
Could, do was to patch himself up and hope he didn't get any infections from the wounds.
@@@@@@@@@@@
Ronnie told their story to her Mom as they all stood around the Major's office, no answers were known but the Major promised that she would send out her feelers and see if she could find out anything. Ronnie followed Bre to her office and took the chair across from her desk.
"I don't want you out wondering around by yourself, if you have to leave have one of the MP's or Mom go with you, and I will be by after I see John to pick you up."
"Yes Ma'am!" Bre gave her a salute. "Don't worry. I'm not going anywhere, now go see John." Ronnie leaned over the desk and gave her a kiss. "I'll be back."
Ashford limped in to his office and collapsed in to his chair, his legged hurt
like a bitch and every time he moved his right arm sharp pains shot all the way to the tips of his fingers.
"Fucking Bitch's, I'll kill all of them next time!"
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Ronnie was staying with Lisa and Laurie until she could get the glazier out to fix all the windows in her house, since the shooting everyone was packing a pistol with the exception of Bre, she hated guns and convinced Ronnie that there was no way in hell she was going to carry one. Ronnie finally gave up and took her lovers word that she would not go anywhere with out one of them being with her.
@@@@@@@@@@@
She had just finished her shift at 24-hour restaurant and was getting in her car when she felt someone come up behind her, before she could turn she was hit in the back of her head and her unconscious body was pushed across the seat to sit slumped against the passenger window. Her car pulled from the lot and headed
towards the back gate to Quantico.
@@@@@@@@@@
John had been released from the hospital and put on leave until he was 100%, his wife was relieved that he would be out of the dangerous part of his job, he still insisted on doing some of the paper work from home to help Ronnie as much as he could. After a week, his wife wished he was back at work, he was driving her crazy. He whined 22 hours out of 24 about the pain, he was in or he was thirsty, hungry, bored or that his now favorite soap opera was interrupted by some political bullshit and now he would never know what happened between the two
soon to be lovers.
"Nice boxers little man." Ronnie laughed as John tried to cover himself with a Soap Opera digest.
"My savior, oh mighty Warrior Princess, would ya get me a beer?"
"How about ya get off your lazy spreading ass and get me one?"
John gave her a pouting look and laughed at her raised eyebrow. "Ohh all right, I tell ya I slave all day in this house and all I asked for is a lousy beer." He got up and grabbed his crutches, before he was out of the living room he yelled to Ronnie ta clue him in to what was going ta happen on his soap so he wouldn't
miss anything. John came hobbling back in with a beer under each arm and trying not to wipe out at the same time as he hurried in to the living room. "What'd I miss?"
"How the hell am I supposed ta know, I don't watch these sappy things."
@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Brennan was in her office tipped back in her chair feet on her desk sound asleep, she never heard when the person crept in and made their way to the front of her desk. All she heard was a click. Her eyes shot open, she was just about to scream when she caught camel colored eyes smiling back at her.
"Damn ya caught me!" Poni sat down in the chair across from Bre's desk.
"What was that click I heard?" A mischievous grin covered Poni's face as she held up a ruler. "And what is that for?" She questioned her.
"Uhhhmm, would ya believe I was measuring somethin? Bre's eyebrow shot up at her.
"Nope, well...How about I was gonna scratch somethin?
Then Bre noticed that Poni was looking at her legs crossed at her ankles and that her skirt had rose up on her thighs.
"Uhh huh sure ya were!" Bre swung her legs down off her desk as fast as she could, but by the look on Poni's face, it wasn't fast enough. "You are such a dog Poni! Where's Jack?"
"She's at the Commissary getting somethin for supper."
"And your here because?"
"She won't let me go with her cuz I run off with the cart and run people over and sneak all kinds of poggie bait in it when she's not looking?" She gave Bre a big toothy grin. "You and Ronnie still over at Lisa's?"
"Until they get all the windows fixed."
"Good cuz were cooking over there tonight, so if you're done we can get outta here."
They were just walking out of her office when the phone rang, Bre answered it and within two- seconds, she went pure white. Poni rushed to her side and helped her sit down in her chair.
"What's wrong, is it Ronnie?"
"No they found another body, this one's out near the rifle range. Can you take me out there after I call Ronnie?"
Ronnie answered her cell phone and was out the door without saying a word to John, kicking her Harley sideways; she skipped it across John's front yard throwing up grass as she jumped it over the curb and on to the road. She was 15 minutes away from the crime scene but only half that if she cut through the trees and got up on to Rt. 1 and hit the side roads. She got there at the same time Bre and Poni did. The MP's had the area all roped off with crime scene tape, the photographers were just walking away when they approached. Bre walked up to them and gave them instructions that she was to get the pictures before anyone else did.
"You two stay here, I'm gonna take a look." Ronnie told them as she walked past.
Bre leaned into Poni and whispered. "I hate when she plays the protector like that, makes me feel like I'm a little innocent kid, I can handle anything she can. I've seen lots of horrible stuff!"
Poni just looked at her as if she had gone nuts. "Come on Poni, I wanna see what's going on over there."
"Are ya sure about this?" She squeaked as she was dragged behind Bre. "I really don't think they need us over there!"
"Here and I thought you were this big bad Amazonian bitch Poni?"
"I am except when it comes ta dead gross things!"
@@@@@@@@@@@@
Ronnie was bent over the body of the young woman taking notes in her little black notebook. She scribbled continuously until she heard retching coming from behind her.
"Gods Bre!"
Poni was holding Bre around her waist and trying to get her away from the crime scene while trying not to toss her cookies right along with her. Ronnie finished up with her notes and then talked to the investigating officers before she went over to where Bre and Poni were both hunched over in the weeds.
"Cute guys." She leaned over their shoulders and looked at the ground. "Poni you still eating those nasty animal crackers?" She got a smack in the stomach for her try at lighting the moment. "Let's get outta here." She walked between the two pale faced cookie tossers holding them both up.
"Ya know Ronnie it's Bre's fault I got sick, I'm one of those sympathetic thrower uppers." Just before they got to their vehicles; Ashford pulled up and got out of his car, limping and holding his one arm close to his stomach. Ronnie couldn't help herself; she walked up to him and hit him in his shoulder.
"Come ta see the new handy work have ya?" She asked him. "You don't look so good, maybe you ought ta skip this one, go home get some rest?"
"Get the fuck out of my way!"
"Ya kiss your wife with that filthy mouth of yours?" Ashford pushed past her hitting his sore shoulder against her.
"Fuck you!"
"No thanks, you've got unwanted parts!" She joined Bre and Poni and continued to watch Ashford as he made his way over to the ambulance where they had just put the gurney in with the latest victim on it.
"Ron what's wrong?" Asked Bre.
"I don't know Ashford seems in kinda bad shape." She filed away the information to reevaluate later.
@@@@@@@@@@@@
Ashford looked at the crime scene and noticed that the cloths of the victim were folded in quarters and placed next to where the body had been. Everything was just like all the other murders, he swore under his breath then hobbled off to his car. Pulling his cell phone out, he made the call. "We have another one sir you have to do something I can't keep covering this stuff up."
"You will cover them up, because there will be no where you can hide that the FBI won't find you and make you pay for what you did in the past!"
Ashford's complexion was pale when he hung up the phone. He had made mistakes in the past but the biggest one was not getting here before that Dyke and her groupies. There was one thing he could do that would take care of them that would get them thrown off the case and save his life in the process; he would take care of that tonight if it killed him.
@@@@@@@@@@@
When Ronnie and Bre came downstairs after taking their shower, they found Poni laying on the couch whining about how shaken up she was from seeing the dead body and that she needed Jack to take care of her. Ronnie busted up laughing, then in between snorts she told Jack that Poni had tossed her cookies because Bre had thrown up on her boots. Poni shot her an evil glare.
"Thanks Ronnie, you bitch!"
"No problem Pons."
Jack glared down at her wife. "You're cut off, ya hear me CUT OFF!"
Poni jumped up off the couch and chased after Jack pleading with her not to cut her off, that she was just kidding. "Please baby, don't cut me off, I'll do anything! I'll even wear that little black French maid's uniform!"
Jack gave Ronnie a high five as she passed her in the kitchen on her way out to check the steaks on the grill.
"Works every time!" She whispered.
"Wanna clue me in here Ron?"
"Oh, well everyone knows about Poni and her sympathetic way, so we set her up." She grinned at Bre.
"You are dangerous!" Bre whispered in her ear.
@@@@@@@@@@@@
When Ronnie got to her office, she found an envelope on her desk. Dumping it out, she found a plastic evidence bag with small lapel or tiepin in it of an Italian flag. She opened the file that came with it and found where it was logged in as evidence found at the crime scene. She knew that after reading the reports they got from Ashford that at all the others no such object was found. She knew that this was probably something that had been left out of all the other reports or taken before anyone knew about it. She had one more thing to check to confirm her suspicions. Picking up the phone, she called the coroners office and spoke with the coroner who had performed the autopsy that morning.
There were self-defense wounds on the victim's body along with tissues under her fingernails and a lot of blood on her hands that did not match hers. Ronnie was now convinced that Ashford was involved.
@@@@@@@@
Brennan was at her desk signing off on vouchers when the Major walked in to her office carrying two manila folders in her hand.
"I found these on my desk this morning. One of them is the crime scene photos from last night." Bre reached for them to have the Major hold them back from her. "The other one I want copies made of certain pictures for my personal use."
Bre's eyebrows hid in her hairline. "Ma'am that sounds kinda gross."
"Not when ya see them it won't be, oh and it came with a letter that I am ignoring for personal reasons also."
Bre opened the said folder and was horrified at some of them. "Oh my Gods!" Her face turned ten shades of red. "You seen these, of course you did, that was a stupid question. Did the letter say who sent them?"
"No, the person just wanted me to know what kind of Marines I had in my Command, who ever it is needs to get a life."
Bre shuffled through the pictures of her and Ronnie making love and stopped suddenly. Turning the picture upside down, she looked up at the Major. "I didn't know you could do that!" Looking closer at the others, she started laughing. "Copies of these ones."
The Major grinned at her. "Ooohhh yeah, I have a personal use for these ones, paybacks are a bitch! I hope who ever took these enjoyed themselves."
@@@@@
On her way to Lisa's, Ronnie tried to figure out how she would get Ashford's
blood type to compare to the autopsies. At Lisa's, she found Bre in the kitchen with her and Laura giggling over pictures.
"Wanna share the fun?" Bre wiped tears from her eyes as she handed a picture to her lover.
"What the hell, I didn't know ya could do that!" She turned the picture every which way. "I gotta tell Poni that it's against the law, for someone with legs like hers ta wear a French maid's uniform. Where'd these come from?"
"Someone sent them to your mom." Replied Bre.
"Ohh Gods, probably trying ta get them in trouble."
"Those aren't the only one's you buff thing you." Lisa informed her.
"I don't think I can handle seeing anymore of Poni's legs." Her eyes shot open at the pictures of her and Bre. "These are from last night!"
"Yep, who ever took them must be part monkey 'cuz they had to be up in one of the trees to get them."
Ronnie took all the pictures of them and stuffed them in the envelope, then in to her coat. "What are you doing?" Bre asked her. "I'm gonna put them somewhere safe."
"I was gonna put them in the family album." Bre snickered at the horrified look on her lovers face.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
John called a few days later he had gone over all the reports and compiled all the evidence together.
"Ronnie that pin that was found at the scene, I've seen one somewhere before but for the life of me I can't remember where! I'm gonna get on the web tonight and see if I can't track one down."
"Check with Govt. type stuff, ya know like Senators, Congressman, things like that, I have this feeling that it's connected somehow."
"Will do, anything else?"
"Do you have a scanner for your PC?"
"Yeah why?"
"I'll come over tomorrow and fill ya in." Ronnie hung up the phone, grinned until her boss yelled her name and told her to get her ass in his office. Groaning she got up and ignored the comments, she received from the guys in the office.
She left her bosses office with a look on her face that could plant half of the guys in her office six foot under. Before she could get two steps out of the office, she heard her boss tell her that it went no further than his office.
@@@@@@@@
Jack booted up her PC and checked her e-mail and found one from some porno site with an attachment to it, the picture came up on the screen of her and Poni. Across the top was written. "Can ya teach us this position? Love ya, the Nation."
Her scream could pierce eardrums. Poni came running in to the room and just about fell over when she saw the picture. "Son of a bitch! Where the hell did that come from?" Poni asked her lover.
"Ronnie, but where and how is what I want ta know."
@@@@@@@@@@@@
Ronnie sat starring at the crime scene photos, she had just about given up when she saw the small pin under the victims fingers of her right hand that was lying over her left breast as if she was saying the pledge of allegiance.
Brennan was walking in her building in her PT gear when Ashford came up behind her.
"So Lt. Magdoon when's your Court Marshal?"
Bre spun around to face him. "What are you talking about?"
"Well, I figured after those pictures went to your CO that you would be up for a court marshal. Or haven't they told you yet?"
"You son of a bitch!" Bre went at him with all the pent up rage she had buried for years. She slammed
him against the wall and pummeled his face and chest with her small fists. Ashford swung catching her in the side of her face slicing her cheek open with his ring. She wiped her cheek with her fingers and seen the blood covering them, a war cry tore from her chest, she dropped down sweeping his legs from under him, with the contact she heard a loud crack like a stick breaking. When he went down, she continued to kick him in his ribs. Hands grabbed her and pulled her off of him, she fought trying to break free. All she saw was red. The ringing in her
ears from the punch kept her from hearing her lover's voice. Ronnie wrestled with her, dragging her down the hall to her Ma's office.
"Bre stop, it's me!" Bre collapsed in Ronnie's arms sobbing. They sat on the office floor until the Major came in.
"Ronnie what happened?" Brennan looked up at the Major with red-rimmed eyes.
"I lost it Mom. I don't know why it happened?" Tears slipped over and ran down her cheeks, burying her face in Ronnie's chest she started sobbing again.
"They took Ashford to the hospital, they think his one leg is broken, you'll love this part, when they cut his pant leg open they found a bullet wound that was infected, the Paramedic says it's over a week old. Sound familiar?"
"That night we were shot at, Bre fired my pistol at the person, there's only one way ta find out if it was him and that's if he has a knife wound in his shoulder, compliments of Jack." Ronnie's thoughts wandered for a minute. "I know it's him! The other day when I seen him he was carrying his arm all stiff!" Picking Bre up, she carried her out the door. "Ma call Poni, tell her ta meet me at Lisa's."
@@@@@@@@@@@@
Please Bre just stay her with Lisa and Laura, we'll be back as soon as we find out something. Call me on my cell phone as soon as Jack gets home." Ronnie kissed her then went to find Poni.
@@@@@@@@@@@@
Poni was on the phone in the kitchen trying to find Jack, she had a worried look on her face when Ronnie walked in. "I don't like this Ron she should have been here three hours ago! I called everywhere. Our truck is still in the parking lot at OCS, one of the guys seen her head towards the gym, I called there and they said she never showed up."
@@@@@@@@@@@
Jack woke to find herself in the dark with her hands tied behind her back and the rope attached to the ropes on her ankles. The back of her head was pounding along with the right side of her face. All she could remember was cutting through the trees to get to the gym, then nothing. She struggled with her bindings only to make them tighter and pull on the rope that was around her neck. Lights came on and blinded her for a minute until her eyes could adjust.
"You're awake Mommy, good now we can play just like we use to!"
Jack tried to talk but her throat was dry. She was dragged across the floor to a concrete sarcophagus; her binds were cut and retied to the handles after her cloths were removed. Now completely naked, she lay in front of the un-kept woman.
"I know you." Jack forced past her dry throat. "You DOR'd from the 13 series!" Putrid breath assaulted her.
"And it was your entire fault Mommy; I never was good enough at anything! She screamed. "And now you're going to pay for all those years you beat me and defiled me! Rough hands grabbed Jack's face jerking her to look into the crazed brown eyes of the former Candidate Callis.
"You keep coming back, no matter how many times I kill you! I killed you in Italy and you followed me
here! This is the last time. I know what I have to do this time!"
@@@@@@@@@@
Ronnie and Poni tore down the back roads of base heading for the parking lot of OCS. Poni was screaming and slapping Ronnie on her back the whole way. Ronnie skidded to a stop at Jacks truck, Poni stumbled off of her Harley.
"Are you fucking nuts? You could have killed us, 120mph on those roads on the back of a Hog!"
"Chill Pons, you go check the office I'll go check the gym, and then we'll meet back here and go see Ashford."
@@@@@@@@@@@@
Brennan was pacing in front of the TV, driving Lisa and Laura nuts.
"Bre will you sit down, they'll be all right and Jack will show up, she probably is over at the E club with some of the DI's having a beer."
"She would have called if she was gonna be late. Where's my car keys? I'm going to the hospital to see Ronnie."
"I don't think that's a good...OK, OK Lisa come on we'll take her over there then we'll all go look for Jack."
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Jack was left alone. Callis went to get her preparations for her ritual. Jack continued to struggle with the ropes, she had the ones at her ankles loosened enough that she could slip her feet out of them, and now all she had to do was get the ones on her wrists done.
@@@@@@@@
Poni hung on to Ronnie for dear life. She had given up on screaming because all it did was make Ronnie go faster. They pulled right up to the emergency doors blocking it completely. Heading to the Nurses desk Ronnie flipped her wallet open to show her badge. "Ashford's room where is it?"
"Visiting hours are over you have to...."
"I don't give a dam! His room NOW!"
"314, he's in 314"
On the way up Ronnie ducked into one of the open storage rooms and stuffed items in her pocket.
"What are you doing? Let's go Ron!"
"Ready, come on!" Ronnie grabbed a jug of blue stuff as they ran past a cleaning cart, taking the stairs two at a time they busted through the door to run down the halls looking for 314. Poni slid past Ronnie when she went in to 314. Ashford was laying in a bed with his broken leg in traction. His eyes grew wide when he saw them come in, he reached for the buzzer to call a nurse but had it ripped from his hands.
"Get out before I yell for a nurse!"
"Ooohh you don't want ta do that, cuz you see we're just here ta have a nice little chat." Ronnie sat down on the edge near his broken leg, leaning on it enough to cause him to gasp.
"I'm not telling you anything!"
Poni's face was red with rage. "Let me have a chat with this asshole!"
"You see Ashford we're on to your little game. I'll make a deal with you, you tell us who's killing these women and maybe she'll let you live!" She pointed to Poni
"Fuck you!"
Poni hand me that jug, tough guy here wants ta play!" Ashford's eyes bulged at the jug; his panic grew when Ronnie pulled a 20cc syringe out of her pocket and filled it up with the blue all-purpose cleaner.
"Here ya go Poni since it's your wife that's missing I'll let you do the honors." She held out the plastic IV lines to Poni. "Now, tell us or ya get ta turn this pretty blue color in lets see." She reached over and turned the drip
on his IV so that it dripped faster. "Really, really fast!" Ashford tried to move up in his bed to get away from Poni.
"I told you..."
"Do it Poni!"
Poni pushed the needle into the IV line. "Shit! OK, OK the Aquia Harbor Cemetery, the old tomb, check there!" Poni handed the syringe to Ronnie who just looked at it, then jammed it into the IV and pushed the plunger home.
"What are you doing?" Ashford screamed!
"I never said I wouldn't kill you, I said Poni wouldn't. Later!"
They left his room with him screaming for a nurse. "Ronnie, I can't believe you did that! He's gonna tell them you did it and then your gonna go ta jail!"
Ronnie just laughed as they ran down the hall. "Only if you go ta jail for turning piss green. I had his catheter tube in my hand!"
@@@@@@@@@@@
Bre, Lisa and Laura ran up to the emergency doors just as Ronnie and Poni were coming out. Bre jumped into her lovers arms.
"Did you find Jack?"
"No, but I think she's been taken by that Psycho, Go to Ma, tell her and have the Police meet us at the Aquia harbor Cemetery on RT1." They turned when the heard yelling and saw the hospital security guards coming towards them.
"Ronnie?"
"Go now before they get here!"
@@@@@@@@@@@@
Callis was standing naked at the foot of the sarcophagus, her shoulder length blond hair as wild as her brown eyes. In her hands was a Marine Corps Officers dress sword. "I sharpened this all by myself, You, see Mommy I killed you all the other times by ramming a broom handle inside you, basically fucking you to death. But for some reason, I think you enjoyed it as much as when you use to do it to me, and that's why you keep coming back! But this time I'm gonna cut you in to tiny little itty bitty pieces!"
"I'm not your mother you insane bitch!"
"Yes you are, you gave birth to me and you made me what I am today! Aren't you proud? I'm just like you Mommy!"
Callis stepped closer to Jack with the sword raised over her head. Before she could bring it down Jack kicked out with one of her feet sending Callis back against the wall. "You bitch!" Callis got up and grabbed Jacks ankles, holding them down, she tightened the ropes. "I'm not gonna be nice anymore Mommy, I'm gonna kill you slowly now!" Jack started yelling at the top of her lungs hoping that someone would hear her.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Ronnie was breaking the sound barrier weaving in and out of cars the whole way down RT1, at one point she went off the side of the road to pass slower cars. All Poni could do was pray they didn't die before they got to the cemetery.
@@@@@@@@@
Callis took the sword and made a cut across Jacks left breast, blood ran down across her ribs to puddle beneath her. "All the other times Mommy, you screamed when I fucked you and you know what? The louder you screamed the wetter I got! With your last breath I would have one hell of a climax. But now, I don't feel anything, why?" She screamed.
@@@@@@@@@@@
Brennan was in-between her friends flying behind the police and MP cars towards the cemetery. The Major had stopped off at the base quarters to pick up John.
"Major I tried calling Ronnie, that pin she has is a Diplomats tie pin, they all wear them to signify which country they represent. And if that belongs to a diplomat there's not a dam thing we can do to them!"
Ronnie slid her bike sideways launching both of them off, stumbling they ran towards the back of the cemetery jumping over tombstones as they went.
@@@@@@@@@@@
Callis cut the other side of Jacks breast and watched her blood run, dozens of cuts covered Jacks body. Her face was ashen from blood loss. She didn't know how much longer she could hold on. The last thought she had before everything went black was of her wife Poni.
Callis screamed horribly, raising the sword above her head, she was bringing down at Jacks neck when she was slammed into the wall of the tomb. The sword slipped from her fingers. Ronnie picked her up by her throat and slammed her fist into her face knocking her out. Poni cut the ropes from Jacks wrists and ankles, grabbing her clothes she covered her up. In the distance they could hear the sirens coming and knew that everything was over. Poni picked up the sword, noticing that it was covered with blood. She started to walk towards Callis when Ronnie stopped her.
"Poni no, we stopped her, let the Police handle it from here."
"But look what she did...she was gonna kill Jack!"
All they heard was a blood-curdling scream and then Ronnie was on top of Poni on the ground, Callis was lying across Ronnie's back laughing.
"It's over, you win Mommy!" Her brown eyes clouded over, blood ran from her mouth then she dropped her head on Ronnie's back.
Bre ran into the tomb to find them that way. "Ronnie! All my Gods!!"
"I'm all right just get her off me."
The coroner took Callis' body away and Poni went with Jack in the Ambulance to the hospital. John told Ronnie and Bre about the information he found out on the pin. They were just leaving when the Majors cell phone rang.
"It seems that Ashford had the green piss scared out of him." Ronnie grinned at everyone. "He gave up the story of how he came to be the cover up guy for all the murders and get this. Callis is the daughter of the Italian Diplomat over at the Embassy. They came here because of her little problem over there in Europe. Ashford was part of the FBI detail over there investigating the crimes when he sort of got caught buying narcotics from an undercover Narcotics Officer. Who just happens to be related to Diplomat Callis. So, Ashford works out a deal that he will keep the investigation from getting his daughter if they forget that he was buying drugs. Now case closed"
"He really fucked up when he took pot shots at us that night, not to mention pissing off my little woman."
"I think this calls for a celebration." Bre looked up in to crystal blue eyes.
"And Ronnie's buying!"
@@@@@@@@@@@@
Weeks later Jack was fully recovered from her injuries, she, Poni and the rest of the gang including Mom and her lover were at Ronnie and Bre's to attend their joining. They all stood in their dress blues in the traditional two ranks as Ronnie and Bre came down the center of them. Every one of them smacked Bre on the ass with their sword bringing squeals from her. Once at the end they jumped on Ronnie's Hog and rode off in to the sunset.
The end
