“I told him I’d forgive him if he grew up and acted like a dad. He’s pretty dedicated and even wore the costume I bought him.” Melissa said

I was looking at an almost seven foot Munchkin, but my eyes trailed down to the tiny green witch. That little woman really was evil. Slowly, I reached in my pocket and pulled out my phone.

“Don’t.” The giant Munchkin warned me as I pulled up my camera and hit record to make a video. I made slow moves in hope I’d not startle the beast. I noticed Wrenly was no longer next to me, but behind me with her face in my back. I heard her trying to breathe in and out slowly while trying not to laugh. It was obviously humiliating for Drakos, but it definitely said he had strong feelings for Melissa.

Melissa looked up at him. “Go on now, just like we rehearsed, but you better smile this time.” Melissa ordered.

“Oh yay!’ Addie ran over to stand with Drakos and Melissa, like they were just about ready to put on a musical.

Drakos growled. “We represent the Lollipop Guild

The Lollipop Guild, the Lollipop Guild

And in the name of the Lollipop Guild

We wish to welcome you to Munchkin Land”He recited it in a deadpanned tone with no facial expression, and Addie sang along, but Melissa was fighting a full on laugh.

“Fu…” I caught myself before the word came out. “…perfect, thanks.” I turned off the video. Wrenly was whimpering behind me. I knew why she didn’t want to laugh, it was the same as me. He was proving his loyalty and devotion to the Munchkin green witch. Also, taking his punishment like a man. Oh my God, I was going to die if I didn’t laugh soon.

“Uncle Scott is a fucking dumbass that’s pussy whipped.” Addie announced and this time there wasn’t just gasps, but a screech that came from Morgan. “Daddy day doe.” Addie added.

“Ugh! Creed!” Morgan punched his arm, but he didn’t even flinch at that, but definitely flinched at Addie’s words.

“Dammit, Addie! You weren’t supposed to hear that! And of course, that’s the sentence you repeat perfectly?” Creed whimpered at the tail end of that question.

Opportunity

Wrenly

Was my life too good to be true? I pinched myself a few times just to make sure my life was taking such a beautiful path. Being at Creed’s Lake was great for my abs too. There wasn’t a day that went by where I didn’t laugh so hard I almost puked.

Melissa made Drakos make a Tik Toc as the giant Munchkin and it had been circling around Creed’s Lake. I think she was trying to completely break his pride so she could create a new man. I even heard him say, “yes ma’am” several times.

After they left, Travis built a small fire in the metal fire pit, and we wrapped up in blankets on the front porch. We even made s’mores, so it was definitely the best Halloween ever. We handed out candy and had a lot of fun with all the little kids. Karter and Weston stopped by with the cutest little baby girl. Travis gave them hell for it, obviously they were using the child to get free candy. I thought it was funny, but whatever.

Our night ended in the shower. Travis could have cared less about my period and once again delivered toe curling orgasms.

No announcements were made yet about the shifting of management. We ended the week in a cabin near the cutest little town called Little Nashville. It wasn’t far away, and they hadthe most darling little shops. We bought Christmas ornaments, and I also found a few Christmas gifts. I was aware by then that Travis probably knew my fate at Creed’s Lake, but just like he did early in my hiring process he stayed out of it.

That following Monday I was called into the Originals daily meeting.

“Carlson, you’re an asset to this company. You already know you could choose pretty much any position, but we have a different offer for you. You have been accepted into the DV program as Darren’s VP, and will serve in unit R. You have a lot of training ahead of you, and I’m sure you’re up to the challenge. We will be providing training through the Indiana University online program offered by their psychology department. It will be the same training offered to the Indiana State Police. We have decided to hand the K-9 training program over to Sam, so I am very sorry if this disappoints you. With that being said, Darren would like to also offer you another position that’s outside Creed’s Lake.” Creed said then turned to look at Darren.

“Miss Carlson, as you are aware, my position at Creed’s Lake is still being developed as my term as Sheriff comes to an end. I plan to stay part time because I’ve been offered a position with the State Police. I am developing a State SWAT program to serve Southern Indiana. My hands will be full, and I’d like your help. I’d like you to become my Vice President over the domestic violence program, and to also join my SWAT program. You’ll still be a full time employee here at Creed’s Lake, but how would you feel about rejoining law enforcement?” Darren asked.

Holy, what the crap?

I leaned forward after I glanced at Travis. “Excuse me?”

“I assure you it’s not a full time position. It’s honestly an on call type of situation. This program I’m developing is forthe more serious situations, counter terrorism will be our main focus. With the threats that comes with the cartel gangs, and the wars between motorcycle gangs, we predict there will be more hostile situations in our future. Unfortunately, we are not prepared. Our small county teams are not big or strong enough to deal with these situations, and hell, Sinclair County isn’t even big enough to support a team of our own. We will be utilized in situations that will support local and county SWAT teams, or in Sinclair County’s case we will be the only SWAT team. We made the same offer to a few other operatives, and you’ll be on a team that’s made up of some of the best law enforcement officers around. You will be an employee of the State of Indiana, but only part time. It is salary and honestly, there will be weeks and maybe even months you won’t be called up to a situation. By making you Vice President of the DV division, you’ll be freeing me to be able to focus half my time on the new SWAT team. I’ll need you to run things here at Creed’s Lake when I’m not available. The State Police Superintendent is not willing to put anyone without law enforcement or special ops experience into these positions, and he has looked over your accomplishments and gave me the go ahead to offer you a position on our team.”

I looked at Travis and he wasn’t surprised by the offer, but he definitely didn’t look happy about it.

“VP of the DV program here at Creed’s Lake?” I asked.

Creed cleared his throat. “Darren has an extensive background in domestic violence cases. He is perfect to run the program, but his time will be stretched pretty thin. We think the two of you will work well together, and your experience with the Scorpions could give Darren some insight as far as the SWAT team he is developing. Let’s be real, the State Police Superintendent is creating this program specifically to prepare for the upcoming war. The Devil’s Rejects and FallenAngels have become targets of the cartel and other MC’s in the surrounding states. The situation is growing more hostile by the day, and territory is becoming a problem. Creed’s Lake may eventually have to step in because an MC known as The Burning Skulls are trying to move into our territory. We are partnering with the State Police, and it’s vital that nobody learns that we are also partnering with the Rejects and The Fallen Angels. If word ever got out that the State Police are working indirectly with these two MC’s, I wouldn’t even want to imagine the political ramifications. Careers and lives will be destroyed.”

“Who else has been offered this same opportunity?” I asked.
