Chapter Six

The week after Charlie moved into his own place, Hank worked a mix of day and evening shifts

and Charlie worked almost all nights. They didn't see much of each other, but Hank heard good

things from the cops Charlie wound up sharing a patrol car with. Charlie was fitting in, and that

was good.

On the Saturday, after a Friday evening shift full of breaking up fights in Miss Kitty's parking

lot, Hank came on at noon and found that he and Charlie had the same shift again. After a fast

hello in the locker room, however, they went their separate ways, Charlie and Benny to go

downtown, and Hank to clear up some paperwork from the night before.

Hank did his paperwork, gossiped as other officers wandered in and out, and kept an ear on the

radio. He was hoping for a quiet shift and he had a nice Saturday night planned for himself, in

front of the TV watching movies. Mostly, he just hoped that his scheduled eight P.M. log-out

was going to actually stick. Sometimes Saturday afternoon shifts turned into being on until the

small hours of Sunday morning.

Things took a turn for the messy in the middle of the afternoon when an overtime crew working

on a new building accidentally took out a power line downtown and the traffic lights went out.

Hank didn't particularly mind directing traffic for a couple of hours, but it was hot and there

wasn't a lot of shade in the middle of the street. He did remind himself to be grateful that Shady

Ridge was a small town and that the power outage didn't have a bigger impact, even if it was a

Saturday afternoon.

When the lights were working again, Hank treated himself to ice cream and turned the car's air

conditioning way up as he drove around, ostensibly looking for speeders and other criminals.

Mostly he was just waiting for the sweat to dry and his shift to be over so he could go home and

shower.

By suppertime Hank was pretty sure that he was going to make it off his shift without being held

over. Hopefully, he'd run into Charlie at the station, too, so he could invite Charlie to watch

movies with him. Even if his TV wasn't as big as Charlie's. Hell, maybe they could go watch

movies at Charlie's place, though he didn't figure they'd actually pay too much attention to the

screen.

Smiling to himself and enjoying the warm tingle in his groin, Hank cruised by the high school

and took in the crowd watching practice on the main field. Traffic would snarl again when the

team was done, but just for a little bit. He turned around in the parking lot just as the radio

crackled, reporting a domestic disturbance at an address Hank knew well and sending Charlie's

car to respond.

"Well, shit," Hank sighed, looking at his watch. If it was the usual thing, it meant that Dwayne LaStart had gotten drunk and hit his wife again. They'd take him in, process him, Ginny would

decline to file charges and they'd go back to waiting for the next call. All told, it would take a

while and Charlie would be held up for an hour or so after his shift.
