Chapter Twenty

Tucker

“What the fuck is this meeting?” I have a seat next to Ransom.

I was awoken by a phone call saying that every available officer in the area needed to report to the Laurel Springs PD for a mandatory meeting.

“No fuckin’ idea,” he yawns. “My ass was asleep, I didn’t even brush my hair.”

Glancing up at him, I see that it’s every which way, and Rambo is most definitely asleep at his feet.

“Same.” I grin.

“Fuck you, dude, you don’t even have to brush your hair.”

“I was still woken up, so don’t bitch at me like I don’t understand your plight.”

He rolls his eyes. “Do you have to use such big words?”

“Yes, yes I do.”

He flips me off, and right as I’m about to say something else to him, Mason steps in front of the group. “I’ll be giving a briefing in just a few minutes, if everyone could start to settle down and find a seat.”

That’s his way of letting everyone know we’re being too loud and he wants us to shut the fuck up. I’m cracking my back as Nick and Caleb enter the room. I wave them over to sit with us.

“Fuck, man.” Nick runs a hand over his face. “I had just gotten Ella down and was about to try and get a few hours when the phone rang.”

“Who’s watching Ella?” Ransom asks as he looks over at his friend.

“Your mom,” he laughs. “Don’t even ask how it came to that, it just did. She’s a saint.”

“That’s my mom, she’ll have your kid wired up on sugar in less than an hour. RIP to any sleep you wanted to get today.”

“Fuck me.” He reaches over, grabbing his bottle of Mountain Dew.

“This all makes me thankful all I have to worry about is a dog.”

“Screw you,” Ransom mumbles. “I’m sure your day is coming.”

For the first time in years I think about what it would be like to have a kid. I’ve only thought about it once before, with a woman I should never have imagined it with. But with Karsyn? I can see it. She’s such a giving person with patience and a real desire to help anyone out that needs it. She and I are a lot alike in that respect. It’s one of the things I love most about her.

Still weird to think about love, but at least I’m admitting it now.

Menace whistles, hoping to get everyone to stop moving around.

It takes the room a little under thirty seconds to calm down and pay attention to him, which is the epitome of a good leader.

“First of all, I wanna thank everybody for being here.” He nods to a few members of the group. “I know we woke some of y’all up, and for that we’re sorry. I think though, after we give you the briefing, you’ll be glad we did.”

Now I’m sitting up straight, and wondering what the fuck is going on. He’s not the type of guy to say things for reaction. If it’s important, he makes sure we know it.
