Piper parked along the right side of the road and hopped out, heading for the passenger side of SBCSD vehicle and knocked on the window.

"Chavez, right?”

“Yeah. Hey. Cain, right?”

“Yep. So, how's it going?"

His eyes darted between her and out the windshield toward Hammes’s house. “I just got here. I haven’t seen anything yet.”

“Why are you parked in plain sight of the house and not on the other side?” she asked.

His eyes flashed. “Because I need line of sight. That’s why.”

She softened her face, nodding. “Okay. Yeah, sorry, makes sense. But this guy was put in jail three years ago for shooting at a vehicle. I’m not sure how he got out, but I’m not one to believe he’s reformed all that much. We don’t want to start anything. He’s not going to take too kindly to cops staking out his house if he sees us.”

Chavez upturned a hand in response.

“So why don’t you back it up, park behind my vehicle on the other side of the road, out of sight, and we’ll wait for the sheriff there.”

"Okay, yeah." His eyes darted toward the house, then he jolted in his seat. "Shit, there he is."

She looked and saw Rick Hammes marching down his pathway from his front door to his gate. He was shirtless, his tattooed skin rippling with muscles that flexed into striated rocks as he hopped the fence, landed deftly on the other side, and continued toward them at a full speed-walk up the road.

"What the hell is he doing?" Chavez said, popping open his door and getting out.

They walked to the front of Chavez's vehicle and, standing next to one another, put their hands on their weapons.

“Now calm down,” she said, seeing Chavez’s hand flicking open and closed.

Hammes continued up the shoulder of the road, looking left and right into the forest, pointedly ignoring their presence as he closed in fast.

“Okay, stop right there, please,” she said, hearing a bit of a wobble in her voice as it came out.

Hammes put both hands up over his head and skidded to a stop. “Oh! Hello officers! Why, what are you doing here?” He took a step forward, putting his arms out at his sides. His eyes were popped wide. Veins bulged through his inked skin, which was stretched impossibly tight over his rhinoceros muscles.

“I’m just trying to go for a nice nature walk. And it looks like you apparently have a problem with that? Because you both have your hands on your guns, and you’re parked here because you’re watching me. What’s that about?”

“Sir,” she said, searching for the words, but Hammes threw her off as he took another step forward. His pectorals bounced like water balloons before contracting into river rocks.

He was a good twenty paces away, but she felt the heat rising with each step the man took.

“Just stay right where you are,” Chavez said, pulling his gun and holding it pointed at the ground.

“Whoa, pig! The fuck are you doing?” Hammes came to a stop and put his arms at his side again.
