Hope’s Edge: The Prequel

by D. F. Krieger

Danny leaned back in his chair with a frown as he studied the reports. I already knew what they said, and didn’t blame him a damn bit for the disgust written all over his face. You could only give someone so many chances before it became apparent they had no plans to change. In this case, we’d issued citations at a residence with a dog hoarding situation a few times. The newest report, just sent in from a home visit, showed there was no change.

“We’re going to have to seize them. I’ll make a call to the judge and get him to sign the warrant. Meanwhile, you need to coordinate with a rescue down there that we’ve worked with before. The owner’s name is Hope Hopewell. She’s a good gal. Tell her I’ve retired and you’re taking over for me,” Danny instructed.

I grinned at him. “Yeah, boss. You sure look like you’ve retired.”

He laughed and ran a hand through imaginary hair on his balding head. “I guess I’m like a dog with a bone. I’m so set in my ways, I don’t know how to let it go.”

“I’ll take all the training you’re willing to give. I want to bring my best to this job and give it my all,” I assured him.

He stopped and the look he gave me was slow and measured. “Wes, you’re going to make a damn fine manager of Fayette Animal Control. Now, go call Hope from Last Hope Rescue and see if she’ll be able to take on some of these dogs.”

Hope? The reality of what he was telling me to do set in and I hesitated for a moment. “Yes, sir,” I finally managed before walking to my desk. Surely it can’t be. It’s just a coincidence.

I sat down and pulled up the internet to get the info for this Last Hope Rescue. The website appeared after a quick search, and I clicked on the name. The picture that met my eyes had me cursing as the world dropped out from beneath my feet.

I know that face. I know that smile.

Even though the only image I had of the woman I wanted the most was from a picture, it burned in my memory like a brand. And there was no mistaking the photo in front of me now. Just to be absolutely fucking sure, I grabbed my mobile out and logged on to the kink forum I stalked nightly. Every waking minute in the evenings, I talked to a certain woman...

HopefullyBreathless.

Using her profile, I navigated over to the photos a friend of hers recently posted. Force2NJoy knew her in real life, and while Hopefully seemed conservative and private, Force2NJoy freely uploaded and tagged photos of them together.
