Chapter Twelve

Mason

I’m torn between laughing and panic as I hear Kelsey’s message spoken in full computer voice through the SUV’s Bluetooth connection. It’s so her to get lost the first morning she’s here, but somewhat frightening because that’s my woman and she could be anywhere in a vast fucking city.

Thankfully, this isn’t the first time I’ve had to consider this; Kelsey’s sense of direction is pretty shit so it’s easy for her to get turned around. She’s not much of a map reader either. Hell, she gets confused with half the directions from a sat nav so looking herself up on the map app on her phone probably wouldn’t help her much. She’s no idiot…but she’s also no navigator either.

We took a trip to New York for a long weekend when we first got together and I was so worried about losing her that I downloaded a ‘find me’ app – not the stalker kind, but one where we both sync our phones and grant each other permission to see the other’s location. I never deleted the app, here’s hoping Kelsey didn’t either.

I radio the following fire truck and tell them I need to make a small detour and pull my SUV over to the side of the road. We were heading back to the station following a call-out to a car accident and after what I saw, there’s no way I’m risking looking at my phone while I’m driving. The driver killed himself on impact and we had to cut his wife and baby out with the jaws of life. The baby was thankfully well cocooned in her infant car seat but it was touch and go for the mom. Last I heard, she was stable and for her daughter’s sake, I hope she stays that way.

With the sounds of crunching metal and baby cries still fresh in my head, I park the bright red LAFD SUV and unlock my phone. The app takes a moment to load and I prepare myself for the conversation I’ll have to have with Kelsey if she’s deleted the app; the one where she mumbles and stammers whilst trying to point out landmarks or road signs so that I have half a chance at finding her.

Thankfully, as soon as the app finishes loading, Kelsey’s phone is still there for me to select. It takes another few seconds to load her location on a map that will track her in real-time and I nearly bark out laughing when I see where she is.

I put the SUV into drive and make my way to pick up my girl, not trying to fight my amusement.

Ten minutes later, I’m pulling up next to a café where Kelsey has wisely decided to wait. She may have asked the staff for directions, but as previously mentioned, her navigational skills are zero at best so any helpful barista wasn’t likely to succeed in directing her.

Kelsey spots my work issue SUV and immediately goes the same shade of red as the paintwork with embarrassment.
