Chapter Nine

Leif

I took the guys to Missy’s for a quick burger and now I am showing Dallas and Cal the tattoo shop when my phone rings.

“Lanie,” I say in lieu of hello. All I can hear is a cacophony of shouting. I can make out Maddy’s voice shouting the loudest.

“LEIF. Get here now!” she shouts before hanging up on me. What the fuck? She’d only call me and not 911 if Maddy was involved. I feel a weight settle on my chest.

“We gotta go, now,” I say exiting the shop and taking off at a run down the street towards my truck. The guys dive into the truck with me. I peel away and drive as fast as I can. The normally twenty-minute drive from Bleak to Moosehead takes me only ten. I skid to a stop in front of the boutique and jump out of the truck. I can tell the guys are behind me, so I throw the door open. Then I see Maddy lying on the ground in a heap and a crusty looking woman standing over her actually kicking her while she’s down. The fuck? It takes everything in me to remember that I’m a cop and that I don’t hit women. I get why no one is helping her though, all these ladies are in various stages of pregnancy.

“What the fuck is going on here?” I demand and the unknown woman stops her assault. Assessing the threat, I determine that I need to get her away from my girl, then I can focus on her.

“This is Maddy’s former step-mother. She assaulted Maddy. We tried to help but it was no use,” Meredith says.

“Ma’am, step away from Maddy.” When she doesn’t, I move forward, pulling my cuffs out as I go.

“I’m her stepmother. I can discipline her as I see fit,” she says. Is this bitch delusional?

“Former stepmother,” Aubree chimes in.

“Besides the fact that Madalyn is over the age of eighteen,” I say. “That makes this assault and battery,” I inform her.

“Are you fucking kidding me?” she spits at me.

“No, ma’am. Please put your hands before your back. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you. Do you understand the rights I have just read to you? With these rights in mind, do you wish to speak to me?”

“Fuck you,” she says.

“I’m gonna take that as a no,” I say moving her away from Maddy. I pull my phone out and call dispatch. “Ella, can you send Jacobs over to the Crawford’s boutique? I made an arrest, but he needs to finish the collar.”

“10-4, sir. His eta is four minutes.”

“Thanks, Ella.”

Hanging up, I walk the stepmother from Hell over to Dallas.

“Can you?” I ask him.

“Of course,” he says nodding. When I get back over to Maddy she is sitting up holding her head.

“Baby, are you okay?” I ask kneeling down next to her.
