Capítulo 25: You want me to what, now?
Kano glanced out of the patrol car and watched the scenery pass by. "Hey Li, you hungry? I am. Let's get lunch." He turned his head to look over at his partner and noticed she was distracted by something. "Li... Sergeant Li... Ruolan"
She jerked as she heard her name and glared at Kano. "How did you learn my name? You are not allowed to use it! We are not that familiar!"
Kano sighed and just looked at her. "It was on your paperwork. And come on, we are partners. I think some familiarity is inevitable. You know my name is Kano, not just Hoffstedder."
"Hmph. I'm not one of those girls you talk to either. I know you went this past weekend to visit one of them. Who exactly dates that many women anyway? What kind of man are you?"
He grinned as he recalled the past weeks events. Ruolan and he had been on gate guard for the entire week and then as soon as he was free he drove up the coast to meet Tiffany at a wonderful looking motel by the beach and spent the weekend together. "The kind that loves women. Besides, Tiffany and I aren't dating, per se. I'm not really sure what to call our relationship. Long distance booty call? Nah, its more than that but I think she wants to keep it casual in case something better comes along. She is pretty career minded. Or are you referring to the young woman that called me yesterday? That would be my ex-girl. She and I are... figuring things out. I don't wanna push and she is still a teacher. I mean, I don't want to uproot her. She left me before you know. So, yeah. We are taking it slow. I plan to visit her soon and maybe we can figure things out a bit better."
Ruolan glanced at him sidelong and shook her head in amazement. "You have way too much drama."
"I know. What do you think I should do?"
"Jump off a bridge."
"That's horrible, my dear wife. I thought you would have more compassion for your husband."
"You are not my husband. I am not your wife. Stop saying that shit! Idiot." He laughed at his partners rather embarrassed look. "Look how red you turn, you really do love me."
"Love your ass."
"I knew it. This body is the only reason you want me... well let me tell you missy, I am not some meat for your enjoyment. I have morals and a sense of dignity." It was Ruolan's turn to laugh now. "It's not that funny. I just have no idea what to do about all of this."
"What about the sister? You know, the one that texts you all the time?" Kano sighed as he thought about his future mistress. To be honest, he really did not mind the idea, he was just not sure how it would work. To get her, he had to get his ex back. To get his ex back, he had to probably let go of Tiffany, but in all honesty, he was not really sure he wanted to. He still feared that Victoria would suddenly get a wild hair and dump him again. If he dropped one, he ran the risk of losing the other. Although, if he waited a while, he may just end up with Sarah alone. That would not be too bad. He liked being around her, but he was not sure what her future plans were. She was still a few years younger than him and may not have thought that far ahead.
"Well, I put her on hold. She's seventeen, for gods sake. I can't do that. I don't care how hot she is, I'm an MP and a Marine. That would be tantamount to pedo-ville. No sir. Nope. Not this guy. She can wait till her birthday."
Ruolan again shook her head at the playboy next to her. In the past week, she and he had talked for quite a bit. She knew way too much about him, and for some inexplicable reason, actually cared and let him be a friend. Which, as she thought about it, was a good thing as partners. She still had not revealed too much about herself though. Some things, no one needed to know. Kano suddenly looked ahead at a vehicle that was turning onto a side street.
"Ruolan, didn't we get an APB on a car like that one. Follow it a bit, turn right." He pointed at a beige sedan that seemed rather innocuous. Ruolan shrugged and followed suit, "I thought you were hungry?"
"I am, but I'm just curious. Give it three blocks." He did not tell her he had another vision. This time of this exact beige sedan in a newspaper article about a missing person. As they followed behind, the left blinker randomly flashed. It flashed as the sedan stopped at a stop sign, but the car continued forward. "Mechanical failure? Lets give him a friendly reminder." Ruolan nodded and flashed the lights. The sedan immediately floored it and took off.
"SHIT!" Ruolan cried out and she hammered the accelerator while Kano worked the radio, informing dispatch. They careened around a corner and one of the sedans hubcaps flew off and into a yard. "Littering."
"What?" Ruolan cried as she kept her eyes glued to the road ahead while Kano kept on muttering. "Speeding, Reckless Driving, Vehicle in disrepair. Listing offenses."
Ruolan could not stop the short laugh as she maintained a constant distance with the running sedan. Soon they saw a roadblock ahead of two other patrol cars. "No way out now shitbag!"
Kano grinned at Ruolan's more wild side and wondered just how wild she was in bed, but he quickly dispelled that thought as surely he would not be trying to get in her pants. He had enough troubles with women right now. Three was too many... unless... He wondered if Sarah would get along with Tiffany... But then again, Vicky was probably out on that. She did not seem the type to want another joining their 'fun' time. He definitely wanted a repeat of their last time together. The sedan slid to a stop and hands appeared out of the window. Military police swarmed the car and as Kano got closer himself, he heard a rhythmic thumping from the trunk. He waved at Ruolan and she reached in to pop it. It flung open and Kano caught sight of a women that was bound and gagged, her hands, while tied together, were in front of her and she had managed to pull out the taillight wires. This was why the lights were acting up. "Smart." He stated simply as he undid the bindings on the woman.
"Thank you! Oh my god! This man, I don't know why I married him!"
Kano and the rest of the police were taken aback both by what the woman said and at her figure. She was tall and lithe. Golden hair that waved in the sun and deep blue eyes that reminded him of the sky. She had a chest that defied gravity with its size and a body that cried out to be touched. All of the men nearby quickly swallowed some saliva and did their best to not let their collective jaws touch the ground. "Ma'am, are you alright?" Kano squeezed out.
The woman rubbed her wrists and looked at him for the first time. He was certain he saw a glint pass by her eyes, then before anyone could react, she fainted into his arms. Kano caught her and did his best to fan her while calling out to her. Ruolan glared at him as she had seen the same thing he had. Kano gave her a look of helplessness and tried to think of something to say, but then gave up and just tried to awaken the poor victim.
Her eyes fluttered as Kano continued to fan her. "What, where am I?" She asked with a small voice that just tugged at men's hearts and made them want to protect her. Even Kano felt it and with his usual machismo personality, he could not fight free from it. "Miss, tell me your name. Are you injured?"
"Margaret, Margo, please." She spoke quietly, demurely and batted her eyes at Kano while shaking her head as a no. Ruolan immediately thought that this woman was trouble. And poor Kano, he was stuck with the wrong brain in charge. "Miss, Margo, what is your last name? Can you tell me what happened?"
"Um, Nickles, Nickles-Levy. Though soon just Nickles, I'm dropping the Levy. That's his name. We are going through a divorce and this insane bastard, somehow got it in his head if he shoved me in a trunk I would stay with him! Bastard has hit me, threatened me, ever since he came back from the desert he hasn't been the same! He refuses help and I can't take it anymore!"
"But Margo! I love you! Please! One more Chance!" the driver cried out from the ground as two MPs were searching his cuffed person.
"Fuck you! Asshole!" Margo screamed at him while clutching at Kano. Kano looked to Ruolan for some support, but she was too busy looking away pointedly at her notebook where she was studiously writing something. Kano tried to help Margo to her feet, but she seemed to be still weak from the bindings, and she requested he help her to the arriving ambulance. He thought about it a second and it made sense, her legs were probably still asleep after all. So he picked her up and carried her over. 'Ooh, this one is strong. He smells nice too. What cologne is that? It doesn't smell like any I have smelled. Oh, is that his natural scent? I didn't know that was still a thing. Mmm, natural.' she thought as he carried her and she buried her head in his shoulder, enjoying the pampering princess carry and the strong masculine scent he gave off. As she looked over his shoulder, she caught sight of what must be his girlfriend, a young dark haired girl in uniform as well with a definite scowl on her face. 'Jealous? Why? Don't you get this treatment? Don't deny a girl a quick test drive of the latest model.'
Ruolan noticed the quick look of victory that flashed on Margo's face and knew that Kano's life was going to be more complicated if she got any of his information. Kano placed her down on the gurney, but the poor woman still clutched at him, proclaiming that she did not feel safe without him around. He tried to calm her down and explain that the medics would take care of her, but she appeared to be panicking. The medic quickly ordered Kano in the ambulance and Kano gave a pitiful look to his partner. Ruolan simply glared at him. "Umm, Ruolan, can you meet me at Naval Med?" He grinned at her sheepishly as he spoke, but all he got was a humph and she stalked away.
He stared after her confused and wondered what that was all about, then glanced down at the woman that just would not let go of him, and was she squeezing his biceps?
