Pulling down the gravel driveway to the lake house, Martinez sighed that he had to leave her so soon. “Sorry, I can’t stay. But I had an awesome night. You really are a good shot. I wish half of our department could hit a target as well as you.”

Blushing, she accepted his compliment. “I appreciate that. Thank you for everything, Angel. Really. It’s a nice weapon. You know, a while back I even asked China if I could borrow one of her guns to keep here.”

He was somewhat surprised. “Is that right?”

“I did. I just didn’t want to admit it.”

“Well, no one should have to borrow a weapon. Everyone should have a form of home protection. And now you do.” She leaned over and kissed him on his full lips. His eyes rolled under his lids at her touch. “I really wish I could stay.”

She opened her eyes and looked into his. “Me too. But it seems important.”

He stared deeply into her blue eyes. “Everything is important when it comes to you.”

Blushing again, she opened the car door to exit.

“Let me walk you in.” He exited the vehicle, walked her up to the door and into the screened in porch. The night air was cold and damp, but calm. The moonlight on the water gave enough light for him to see the sparkle in her eyes.

She entered the security code and turned her key in the deadbolt, opening the door. “Thanks for a great night. I think I may light a fire, draw a bath, and a have a nice glass of wine. Sounds divine right about now. You go do what you have to do and just text me later okay?”

As she held the door with her cheek, he turned to look at her as he headed back to his car. “I’ll do that and I’ll be thinking about you soaking in the bubbles.”

Back in his vehicle, he tooted his horn as he pulled out. Driving back into town he twice thought about heading back and sinking into the hot water with her. But there was work to do.

Within ten minutes he was in downtown Silverton and turned left into Jackson Street pier where he hoped Miles was waiting for him. As he drove towards the edge of the pier, he saw Miles’ large SUV, jacked up on oversized wheels. He backed into the spot next to him.

The window slowly slid into the side of the vehicle door revealing Miles, leaning back in his seat smoking a blunt. He titled his head and blew a large ring of smoke out of his mouth. “Sup, Martinez?”

Turning the lights to his vehicle off, he nodded at Miles. “What do you got for me? This better be good. You have no idea what I gave up for you tonight.”

Miles smirked and said, “Oh I got somin’ for you a’ight. I told you my boy just got back from servin’ his time down south. Well, thangs get ‘round in the pen, you feel me? Here you thought you had a mole.
