“Damn, he isn’t in the system.”
Kian laughed, “I know. Reid and I are both cops, we have already checked him out, but he has skated under the radar for a long time is my estimation.”
Trace rubbed a hand down his face, “Well shit. I have all I need for now. If something else comes up, you tell me immediately. I don’t want to worry Emery with any of this.”
“Deal. If you find out anything, call me on this number. Reid and I are moving there in a few days, we all need a change of scenery and are getting ready to come see our grandma and to help Emery with anything she needs. I am sure we will meet soon. By the way, her favorite color is purple, and she loves purple roses. They aren’t very common, but she adores them. Has since she was little.”
Trace smiled, “Thanks Kian. I appreciate you giving me a heads up. I need all I can get with her. She is a force all her own isn’t she?”
Kian laughed hard, “Oh man, that is the understatement of the year. She is fierce and not afraid of anything. Just keep that in mind.”
He laughed, “I can’t wait.”
Kian snorted, “Better you than me,”
He laughed again, “Thank you. Let me know when you and Reid are here. I know Emery will try to hide it from me, but our being together isn’t a secret. It never will be.”
Kian chuckled, “Good. In a few more days. We are both finishing up our two weeks on the job and Reid and I aren’t sure if we want to find a house or stay with the girls. It depends on our grandma, and Emery.”
Trace smiled, “If you need a place to stay, I have a good spot. Just let me know.”
“Thanks Deputy.”
“It’s Trace. We should be on a first name basis. We might be family soon after all.”
Kian laughed again, “Damn. Fine, but Reid isn’t as easily swayed as I am. Neither is our dad. Good luck.”
Trace chuckled, “I don’t need luck.”
Kian snorted, “Your funeral. See you next week. Good luck with your firecracker.”
Trace said goodbye and hung up his phone laughing.
He liked Emery’s brother already. Pulling his phone from his pocket, he texted her.
Trace: Hi Sunshine. I just got a call from your brother.
Sunshine: Damn it! He works fast. I’m sorry if he said anything, I hope you will still go on a date with me.
Trace: Nothing he says or does will make me not want to go on a date with you sunshine. You are stuck with me I’m afraid.
Sunshine: Good. He is a bit of a bully when he wants to be and while he has good intentions, he's also a pain in the ass.
Trace: He's just a good brother, Sunshine. That’s all. He worries. Just like I do over my sister too. Except I don’t have to worry about her dating anyone, she's already married to my best friend.
Sunshine: Really? That is so cute!! I want to meet her!
Trace chuckled, as he typed his next response out.
Trace: She wants to meet you too. She's even cutting their honeymoon short to come home sooner.
Sunshine: Okay, yes. I want to meet her so bad. What's her name?
Trace: Sienna. And her husband’s name is Brek
Sunshine: I'm gonna like her already. I can tell.
Trace: She will too. I can’t wait to see you again for our date
