Patty has had a savings account since she was nineteen. She had only touched it three times during her years at the sheriffโ€™s office. Now, sheโ€™s planning to reap the rewards from her financial discipline.

She was going to use some of her savings for a road trip with Rufus, her English Mastiff. Rufus was five years old, but sheโ€™s only had him for three years. His first owner was her best friend. She would drive to Phoenix to see Chris and Rufus. Chris had gotten cancer and died six months after she was diagnosed. Before she had died, Chris asked Patty if she would take care of Rufus. Chris couldnโ€™t bear the thought of Rufus ending up at the SPCA. Patty couldnโ€™t either. Chris didnโ€™t trust her extended family to take care of him, so she had asked Patty to take him in.

Patty was more than happy to do it. She and Rufus got along and she loved him to death. Her house and yard were big enough for him. During the last few days that Chris was alive in the ho

    Pattyโ€™s mind had wandered as she rode in the backseat of Williamsonโ€™s four-door truck. For a year, she had been in love with Goldman. During that year, Carter had figured it out. He had confronted her. She had denied it to him for months until she had gotten tired of it and confessed. Carter was a sweetheart; he wasnโ€™t going to say anything. He was very understanding and supported her decision to stay quiet.Williamson was a different story. He was a nice guy, but he wasnโ€™t as understanding as Carter or discrete. Four months ago, Goldman was talking to Patty in the switchboard room. When he had to leave on a call, Williamson had walked right up to her and asked why she wouldnโ€™t tell Goldman that she was crazy about him. All the color had gone out of her face. She had begged him to keep his voice down. He had smiled and said, okay. He had kept pestering her about it until she had told him that it was a little crush and it wasnโ€™t a big deal. Williamson had let it go, but deep down he k

    Three Bahama Mamas later - Patty was having a wonderful time at Garveyโ€™s. Williamson had told her and Carter to drink up since he was driving. He had two beers and then started drinking water. They had ordered a big batch of wings.Patty had decided going to Aspen was a good idea. She had never been to Colorado before. It would be a chance for her to experience something new. She had six weeks under her belt to be alone and think about her future. She could afford to spend one week at a fabulous chalet in the mountains.Patty and Carter were slow dancing. He let her wear his white Stetson as they swayed to the music. He was having fun, too. Carter whispered how pretty she looked as she shyly smiled. He always knew how to make her feel better. ------- The Garvey twins watched Patty and Carter from behind the bar. They looked over at Williamson. He was kicked back in the booth eating beer nuts and watc

    Carter drunkenly stood up. Patty scooted closer to the edge of the booth and waited for Goldman and Carter to get out of the way so she could stand. โ€œHow are you going to go anywhere? Carter shouldnโ€™t be driving,โ€ Goldman stated. โ€œIโ€™m the designated driver,โ€ Williamson said. โ€œBut, youโ€™re right. Carter has had plenty to drink.โ€ โ€œIโ€™m fine,โ€ Carter belched. โ€œPatty, you should stay here with Goldman and enjoy the rest of the night. You got the whole weekend off. Live it up. Iโ€™ll take Carter home,โ€ Williamson said and slid out of the booth. You bastard. Patty thought. โ€œI canโ€™t. Youโ€™re my ride,โ€ she slurred. โ€œMaybe . . . we . . . should . . .โ€ Carter trailed off drunkenly. Bless his heart. Carter was trying to get her out of the situation but he was wasted. He couldnโ€™t think straight. โ€œIโ€™ll take you home,โ€ Goldman said to her. โ€œIโ€™m not planning to do a lot of drinking tonight. Even if

    It was Monday 4:15 p.m. Nick Dalton walked down the street in Manhattan. He had just left an appointment with his stockbroker, Avery Young. His investments were slowly growing and Nick was pleased about that. He decided to go to New York for a few days while he and his bounty hunting team were on a two-week break. They had been going hard since they left Arizona two months ago. They had worked through the holidays and it had been worth it. They had apprehended four fugitives and collected two $15,000 bounties and two $25,000 bounties. Nick had a hunch it would be easier to find the fugitives during the holidays because their guard would be down. People were also more willing to be helpful during the holidays with tidings and joy in the atmosphere. He had gotten several hot tips from landlords and neighbors. He stopped to hail a cab back to the less expensive part of New York when he heard a woman yell in Spanish, โ€œEl novio guapo! El novio guapo!โ€ His

    Nick thought he had attended nice dinners before. He was wrong. The china had gold lining around the edges. A servant took and brought every course. There were forks and spoons at the plenty. Nick was glad to see that Gabriella was still her adorable down to earth self during dinner. She whispered to Nick that she didn’t know which fork or spoon to use either. He was pleasantly surprised when Billy loudly said not to worry about it because they all did the same thing.The first course was prongs with dipping sauce. Nick wasn’t sure what the sauce was, but he didn’t care for the dish. The second course was a basic salad. Nick related to that and practically gobbled it up since he picked at the first dish. The main course was filet mignon in a cream brandy mushroom sauce. Nick has had filet mignon before but not like this. It was more delicious than the first time he had it years ago at a friend’s wedding. Nick could taste the fresh garlic, but it wasn&r

    It was Tuesday afternoon. Goldman had decided to go to the station to say hi to the guys and to ask Patty out for lunch.Saturday night was imprinted on his memory. At first, he had thought it was because he hadnโ€™t had sex in over a month, but it was more than that. Pattyโ€™s passion and sensuality had driven him wild since their first time together. It was also dangerous. She was the kind of woman that could trap a man into matrimony without trying. Goldman didnโ€™t want that.At Lynx Lake, Pattyโ€™s apple ass had been so appetizing in tight jeans that he couldnโ€™t help himself. He was out in the woods with limited pussy. After she had cooked dinner, he invited her on a walk to look at the lake as the sun set. It was a half-hearted attempt to spend time with a lady โ€“ alone. To his surprise, she had agreed. They only made it halfway there. Goldman had put his arm around her shoulder and made an indecent proposal. He was afraid he had been too blunt because her eyes grew wide as quarters. He

    Matt and Goldman walked into Mattโ€™s office. Matt closed the door. Rufus had followed them in there and jumped on the couch Matt slept on when he had to spend the night at the station. The dog adjusted his feet and lay down on the couch. He looked over at them.They looked at Rufus.Matt blew out. โ€œI donโ€™t know what Patty feeds his big ass, but she needs to stop it. Carter looked up how to weigh a dog on a human scale. We put him on the scale in the locker room and we calculated that he weighed 177 pounds,โ€ Matt said and walked over to his desk.โ€œHeโ€™s an English Mastiff, sir,โ€ Goldman said. โ€œThey can weigh up to two-fifty.โ€โ€œJesus Christ,โ€ Matt said with astonishment and sat down. โ€œHow do you know that?โ€โ€œHad a girl once that owned one,โ€ Goldman said.โ€œShit. What she feed him?โ€โ€œEverything,โ€ Goldman said and shook his head. โ€œThen, she wondered why he had digestive problems.โ€Matt scoffed at his reply. โ€œHave a seat, Goldman.โ€As Goldman eased down in the chair, Matt thought, you fucking

    Goldman sat outside of Pattyโ€™s house in his truck. He had parked on the street. Pattyโ€™s car and SUV were still in her driveway.He was aggravated as all hell. A guy leaves town for a week and crazy shit happens. They couldnโ€™t lose Patty. The place wouldnโ€™t be the same without her. Goldman couldnโ€™t imagine walking through the door and not seeing her smiling face โ€“ greeting him.Goldman was also pissed that she didnโ€™t say one word about going to Aspen, being put on leave, or wanting to quit the sheriffโ€™s department. How could Patty not mention that? Any of it? Granted, he was fucking her brains out for a good thirty to forty-five minutes, but they had talked for an hour and a half before that. Patty could have told him while he was driving her home Saturday, but she was quiet as a mouse.And why the hell didnโ€™t someone tell him? He had been back for two days. Williamson could have called and given him a heads up. Williamson was the sheriffโ€™s second in command. The sheriff would have tol

    After Juan had left, Cindy had asked Mindy to grab items to put on her Nicolette persona before they left for Phoenix. Cindy wouldnโ€™t tell her why. She had said they were going somewhere that she needed to see and it was a surprise. Five miles outside of Phoenix, Cindy stopped the SUV at a rest area, grabbed a bag out the back, and told Mindy she had to go to the bathroom. Fifteen minutes later, Cindy returned, but she didnโ€™t look the same. Cindy had on a pile of make-up and a red-wig, and it wasnโ€™t the red wig Mindy had given her. When Cindy got back in the car, Mindy asked what was going on and where were they going. Cindy begged her patience and assured her that everything would become clear. They were in the downtown area of Phoenix. They parked on the street. Cindy walked Mindy to a building that looked like it had glass for walls. They got on the elevator and went to the twelfth floor. There were two businesses on the floor; Grass

    It was late Tuesday morning. Mindy was packing a gift basket. She was going to drop it off as she and Cindy rode out of town. Cindy wanted to go shopping in Phoenix. Of course, Mindy couldnโ€™t afford to buy anything but she didnโ€™t mind keeping Cindy company on her shopping trips. Cindy walked in. โ€œWhoa,โ€ she said as she took in the basket on the kitchen table. โ€œThatโ€™s a big thank you.โ€ โ€œWell, it is from both us. Canโ€™t have it skimpy,โ€ Mindy said. Cindy shrugged and opened the refrigerator to retrieve a can soda. There was a knock on the back door. โ€œWho in the world could that be?โ€ Mindy asked. Cindy walked to the door and opened it. The man raised his head so they could see his face from under the wide brim baseball hat. โ€œHey, girls,โ€ Juan greeted. โ€œJuan, come in,โ€ Mindy said with a smile. He darted inside and closed the door. โ€œI parked my car two blocks away and walk

    By the time Matt had found out what was going on, it was over. He and Jodi were having a hot romp in the kitchen when Patty tried to call him. He had left his cell in the living room.Two ambulances, the forensics van, two cruisers, and Williamsonโ€™s truck were outside. Matt and Jodi walked into Garveyโ€™s bar. โ€œSon of a bitch,โ€ Matt sneered as he put his hands on his hips, taking it all in.Otto was taking pictures of the body on the floor. Goldman stood tall as he was taking notes while Mindy and Cindy Pandock sat at a table talking to him. Juan was sitting at the bar looking like he had never been more relieved in his life as Carter took his statement.โ€œOh my god,โ€ Jodi said with a shocked look. โ€œIโ€™m going to check on Juan.โ€โ€œAll right, just donโ€™t interfere with the questioning. Iโ€™m heading for the lobby to see what else is going on,โ€ Matt said seriously.Jodi nodded and walked away.Matt strode to the lobby doors which were propped open. There was a body on a gurney covered by a shee

    Tyrone told Juan how they had tracked Chip down in Chicago. It wasnโ€™t hard. Chip had left a rowdy drunk trail so anyone who wanted to find him could. Tyrone described how they worked Chip over for thirty-six hours. After being beaten for that long anyone would tell what they knew. Chip had given Juan, Sam, and Zeke up. He had even told them where he hid his cut of the money. During the conversation, Tyrone had given the girls more change to play more tunes on the box. Just like before, Chavez had walked with them. When they returned, Ginger got back in the booth and Nicolette remained standing next to a table. She didnโ€™t look as petrified as before. Tucker James had taken a seat at the table with Juan with the gun still on him. Juan guessed he got tired of standing just as much as Nicolette got tired of sitting. It wasnโ€™t hard for Tyrone to track down Zeke either. At least Zeke didnโ€™t lose his mind with the money. He was enjoying a comf

    Juan had gotten Tyrone to chat a little. He got detailed about how Sam suffered before he died to Juan, Nicolette, and Gingerโ€™s horror. Tucker even had the nerve to say that at least Sam wasnโ€™t a rat - if it was any consolation to Juan. Now, he was talking to the girls as Nod Ya Head by Will Smith played on the jukebox. Chavez was bobbing his head to the song. โ€œAre you two sisters?โ€ Tyrone asked. โ€œYou look like youโ€™re related.โ€ โ€œCousins,โ€ Nicolette choked out. โ€œAh,โ€ Tyrone said with understanding. โ€œItโ€™s shame we didnโ€™t meet under different circumstances. You two are cute. Oh, well, back to our friend Juan. So, Juan, where the hell is my twenty million dollars?โ€ Mindy and Cindyโ€™s eyes bugled. โ€œIโ€™ll tell you, but I have to know something first,โ€ Juan said. โ€œYeah, whatโ€™s that?โ€ Tucker said and put the barrel of the gun to Juanโ€™s temple. โ€œHowโ€™d you figure out it was us?โ€ Juan asked ask he foug

    Tucker had Juan sit down in a chair out on the bar floor. The silence made the situation more terrifying. Tucker pointed his pistol at his chest. How the hell did they figure out it was us? โ€œLadies, do you want to listen to some music,โ€ Tyrone asked. โ€œHuh?โ€ Ginger said. โ€œMusic,โ€ Tyrone repeated. โ€œNo reason for the situation to be unpleasant for you because you were in the wrong place at the wrong time. What kind of music do you girls like?โ€ Nicolette shrugged stiffly. โ€œSome country and . . . I just started to listen to some hip hop lately.โ€ โ€œOkay,โ€ Tyrone said as he nodded his approval. โ€œWhat about you, babe?โ€ he asked Ginger. โ€œSame including R&B,โ€ she answered. Tyrone dug into his pocket and pulled out some change. He took Gingerโ€™s hand and placed the change in it. โ€œPlay some hip hop. I donโ€™t like country music โ€“ oh, and no Eminem, Justin Bieber, or Justin Timberlake. I hate t

    It was Sunday morning, and Juan was feeling pretty good despite what had happened last Sunday. No one in town or the surrounding areas knew about Sam being found dead at the hotel, which surprised Juan because he was sure the EMTs would have talked, but it didnโ€™t seem like they had. Juan just thanked his lucky stars.Matt and his team were still working on Samโ€™s case. Forensics believed Samโ€™s death was an accident per cloth fibers that were found on his body and the ice bucket bag. Matt tended to agree based on the staff statements and security camera footage from the lobby and exit doors down stairs. He did have Juan come in to look at some of the footage that Matt found suspicious. Juan identified the two blondes Sam had been with. They had appeared to be in a hurry and they went out the side door exit. Juan only knew their first names. Matt had put in the Arizona state police database that they were wanted for questioning, but he didnโ€™t suspect them of foul play. Samโ€™s valuables ha

    Monday afternoon, Juan prepared himself for the verbal assault as he settled in the office with Jodi and Jackie. He had asked Matt not tell the twins about Sam Ellis. Matt had said that it should come from Juan since they still own a part of the business, so they had a right to know. Juan didnโ€™t want them to know because he knew they would blame him somehow. Sam was Juanโ€™s friend not some random guest off the highway. In the end, Juan had refused to call them about it and told Matt to do what he felt was right in regards to informing the twins. โ€œWhatโ€™s up?โ€ Juan asked. โ€œI think you know whatโ€™s up,โ€ Jackie said. โ€œJackie, what happened yesterday couldnโ€™t be avoided. I donโ€™t know how you think I could have prevented -โ€ Juan began. โ€œOf course, you couldnโ€™t stop it,โ€ Jackie interrupted. โ€œWe came here to see how you were and how we can help.โ€ โ€œYeah. You canโ€™t stop someone who really wants to kill themselves โ€“ or partici

    The forensics team combed the room over while Matt and Juan waited in a room across the hall, so Matt could take Juanโ€™s official statement. Both room doors were propped open. Otto was able to just walk a few feet to give Matt immediate need to know information.Matt noted Samโ€™s license information on a pad so his license could stay in an evidence bag. Sam had one suitcase filled with clothes, normal toiletries in the bathroom, a bottle of aspirin, a hundred and fifty dollars in his wallet, a paper bag with eight thousand four and thirty dollars in it, no credit cards, a cell phone, a photo of a woman, a man, and three girls, a key chain with a car key, two regular keys, and a lock key, and a few business cards.โ€œDo you know why he had so much cash on him?โ€ Matt asked.โ€œSam still lived the life of a drifter,โ€ Juan said. โ€œPlus, he liked casinos. He stopped at a couple in Arizona before he came here. Probably had a good run.โ€ โ€œHmm,โ€ Matt mused. โ€œYeah, but to keep that much cash in your
