Chapter 4

LEE CATCHES THAT BREAK with a jog around the vicinity in her plaid exercise shorts and uniform stated tank top with the initials of HHQ, the acronym for Henny Head Quarters, boldly written in the middle. It’s a coincidence. Henny never knew his name would be reinstated before he joined the force.

He pisses on his territory when he wants to. As she jogs around the block with a few other officers who are behind and before her, each male and female in the same colored tank and the bottoms being the variance. She can smell his odor all the way from the outside.

Lee goes for one more lap. It can’t hurt, her lungs are still operable, and her legs still push through the soreness of the muscles that start to clam-up and shut down. She does stop for a quick-fire breather and adjusts her dreads that are falling from its bun.

As she is jogging, she sees a Toyota pull up to the side of her, and stops, she hears the engine still running. She starts to jog with her eyes glancing to the side as she advances 10 paces, ... 15 paces, ...50 paces, till she comes to the end of the block and turns, her head switching between the car and the concrete path ahead. The car trails all the way. She can’t make out who’s in the driver’s seat even as she strains too.

She knows it’s a police-mobile so it’s nothing to pull out a gun for. She isn’t packing so she’d be fucked anyway. Two guys overtake her who look like twins with their matching joggers and cylinder head shapes. As soon as they turn the corner and go out of sight, Lee hears, “Lee, come into the car?”

It’s in a hushed tone but she knows the coolness of that voice. In a fire, it would reassure you that all is well, and you’ll get out alive. It’s Saul who swings open the passenger door for her. Lee looks down both sides of the street and sees no officers. She strides over to the black Toyota and shuts the door. Saul immediately drives off when she straps herself in the back.

...

He stops after riding a few corners and then down a straight road, stopping by a huge tree that lingers at the edge of the road and offers an ample shot for the birds to poop down on and splatter that car. It’s a neighborhood with simple houses of 1 or 2 bedrooms. The street itself has familiars who pop-by occasionally with a word for Henny who forgets that HHQ isn’t your everyday police station. But he’s happy to flag it down to the desk jockeys who take it on call or priority.

Saul parks up and leaves all his windows wound down. It must be unimportant she thinks. She waits for him to speak as he pats his chest pocket to the side of his cotton gray trouser. Pat...pat... nothing in there. Pat...pat...nothing in the other. It must be significant as he appears frustrated after nothing shows.
