But the people I was up against didn’t necessarily play fair so I wasn’t about to chance it. I’m sure that after our lunch date yesterday half the town already knew we were back together. I’ll have to remember to call my mother and give her the good news.

She’d always had a soft spot for my girl, but like me she knew to keep the peace with Dee we had to cut her out of our lives completely. Mom had tolerated Dee to a certain extent but the two women never really got along.

I had no worries about her and Shelly, and knew that she would be happy for me. My family had never come right out and told me I fucked up. Back then everyone’s sole focus was the baby, doing what was best for him.

Throughout the years, there had been a few skirmishes here and there. Dee had used our son like a weapon to get her way in a lot of things. Even the damn holidays had been like a battleground, she wanting us to go to her folks, me not.

In the end we’d learned to compromise especially after I came out of the fog losing Shelly had left me in and started taking the power back. Once Dee realized I wasn’t about to be her little puppet, she learned to back down and pick her battles.

The holidays were around the corner. Last year had been hard to deal with. I’d spent both Thanksgiving and Christmas alone with a bottle, reliving better days with my boy.

Maybe by the time Thanksgiving roll around this year my woman would already be carrying my child. Speaking of which, I need to see about getting her a ring. I still had the class ring she’d thrown at me thirteen years ago, was gonna put that back on her finger too. But I needed to find her the ring in the magazine cut out I’d held onto all these years.

It was simple and sweet just like her but after all this time I didn’t know how easy it would be to find it. I could set mom or my sister on it since they liked to shop, but this was one of those things I needed to do myself.

I changed gears as soon as I pulled into the parking lot outside the precinct. Rawlins hadn’t been the only one to notice her mark on me but so far he was the only one to mention it.

“Sheridan, have you given any thought to what we talked about?” Was this motherfucker really back on this shit again?

“Morning Cap, and no.” I headed to my office and shut the door.

I had to come up with a plan for tonight. It was probably too soon to be leaving her alone but she knew the job, knew there were going to be times when I have to leave her alone in our bed.

I futzed around with some of the work on my desk mowing my way through the stuff that had piled up. My guys were doing their part to clean up the streets, but it seemed for every piece of scum we put away they were two more waiting in the wings.

I read over reports and filed away the closed cases for the D.A’s office. It was their headache now. Hopefully, they’d put more away than they let walk on a technicality or some other shit that didn’t make any sense. The damn dope heads seemed to be getting smarter.

Everyday they were getting bolder with their shit. And the fact that their firepower far outweighed anything the department had, we were outnumbered and outgunned.

As a cop you need to have some idea of how the law works. You don’t want to go through the headache of bringing down some asshole just so some slick as spit asshole lawyer can get all the evidence suppressed because the monster he was representing had rights.

That’s the reason, or one of them why I’d chosen to go after my enemies the way I have. I’d seen Rossi slip through the system once too often for me to trust that he would ever stand trial for the murders of my wife and son.

I didn’t know how much higher his power reached outside of the state, but I’d learned enough to know that nothing short of a bullet was going to stop him.

“Lieutenant, just got a call you may be interested in.”

“What you got detective Simms?”

“Kevin Lynch is back in town. My CI just gave me the heads-up.”

“How sure are you about this?” I was halfway out of my seat but cautioned myself just in time before I gave too much away.

I couldn’t seem too eager, but if true this was great news. Lynch was the right hand man of the last asshole I’d personally dispatched. Everyone knew that he was the next in line to take over from his boss.
