Page 22 of Property of Bigfoot
We both turned as the sound of motorcycles and other vehicles echoed up from the road that wrapped around my family’s property and would eventually bring them to my cabin. A smug smile bloomed on Sheriff Estes’ face. He would have been a handsome man with golden-brown skin, dark hair, and eyes that were a golden brown to match. His personality being that of a dipshit frat-bro on a power trip ruined the appeal, though.
“Thought you weren’t affiliated with bikers?”
“I’m not,” I offered with a quick shrug of my shoulders. “Maybe they’re stopping by to thank me for taking care of their president when he got into an accident. I don’t know. I’m not a damn mind reader.” I pointed to my pajamas again. “And like I said, I was getting ready for bed when your blue lights disturbed me.”
11.WORLD OF HURT
BIGFOOT
As soon aswe pulled up outside the tiny cabin Sammy called home, I turned a sharp glare on Sheriff Estes. We all knew that fucker was corrupt as they come, and I didn’t like the fact that he was at Sammy’s place, especially since her uncle called us for help.
“Is there a problem here?” I asked as Jester got out of the van and Baffle, Grease, and Dime all got off their motorcycles. They came with me to help Sammy, but also as backup in case anyone else was lurking around. Not only did we need a show of force, for Sammy’s sake, but we needed to be cautious about moving around without backup too, considering what happened to me.
“Could ask you the same,” Estes drawled slowly. “Thought she wasn’t affiliated with your gang?” It was a question, not a statement and one that was liable to land the asshole in the dirt.
“Just got released from the hospital earlier today. Saw my kid, now I came to make sure I properly thanked the woman who saved my damn life.”
“And you had to bring all of them with you?”
“Safety in numbers,” I explained while I wore what I knew to a be an evil fucking grin. “Never know when an eighteen-wheeler might throw a tire up and take a person out.” I stared Estes down hard and dared him to say a word.
“Well, be that as it may, you’ll have to pay your respects another day. I was just about to re-interview Samantha about your accident.”
“No, you weren’t.” Sammy told him as she crossed her arms over her chest in defiance. Fuck, I needed to get her riled up more often and in private. The way her arms were positioned worked to push her tits up and out further. A smack to the back of my head let me know I’d been caught drooling over her rack. Truthfully, I don’t think anyone could blame me, though. She was wearing a tight little ribbed tank and her nipples begged for attention.
“Sammy, you might want to go grab a sweater,” I told her as it became obvious that Sheriff Estes also noticed what I’d been looking at. His eyeballs were glued to her tits the same way mine had been before Baffle smacked some sense into me.
“I’m not cold, I’m pissed.”
I didn’t get to argue with her as Brady Morton walked out of her cabin like he didn’t have a care in the world and handed her a sweatshirt. Just my fuckin’ luck it was the one Jester put on her at the hospital. The fucker chuckled under his breath, and I turned my glare on him.
“You can’t do a damn thing about it in your condition,” he taunted under his breath.
“What are you doing here?” Estes asked Brady.
“On my property?” Brady asked and threw his arms across his chest in much the same way his niece had, only no one stared at his tits.
“You know damn well what I mean. This is Ms. Morton’s residence. What are you doing here, if she was supposedly just about to go to sleep.”
“Came by to fix her water heater.” Brady tipped his head toward Sammy. “She was going to take a shower before bed but couldn’t get the damn thing to heat up.” He shrugged. “Now, I’m wondering why the fuck you’re here.” His question was pointed at the sheriff, but then he turned in my direction. “That goes for you guys, too.”
“Just here to say our thanks to your niece for doing a stranger a kindness that probably saved my life.”
“You’re welcome to come in for a few minutes, but my niece has had a tough couple of days studying after taking time off, so you need to make this visit short.”
I nodded my agreement as the men started to shuffle into the cabin. Estes tried to go in and I put a hand on his shoulder to hold him back. “Don’t think that invite extended to you.”
“Get your fucking hand off me!” he spat then turned on Sammy. “We will get another statement from you,” he told her.
“No need. My statement hasn’t changed. If you feel the need to press the issue further, I will involve my lawyer.”
I heard him hiss, “Fuck,” under his breath before turned and walked back to his car. The boys made sure not to block the fucker in. I stood and watched as he left and continued to watch as he tried to idle just around the bend. I stood and pointedly stared at the man until he finally got the hint and took off. We watched him go all the way to the end of the private road owned by the Morton family. I stuck my head in the front door. “Prospect, get out here and keep a lookout. Make sure the sheriff doesn’t double back around and keep an eye out for anyone else who might be lurking around.”
“Yes, Prez.”
The little shit was only 18, but he’d do his job because he wanted to impress his dad who was one of the old-timers with the club. The kid was the result of Mickey fucking around on his ol’ lady one too many times and a club whore who was determined to earn a patch from a brother. It did not go the way she wanted. Mickey’s ol’ lady tried to kill him when she found out he had a kid with a club whore. She ended up in prison and Mickey threatened to put the whore in the grave if she came around him. It was only recently that Mickey started to have anything to do with the son who was in the middle of all the chaos, and the minute he showed interest, the kid latched on to the club like we were the glue that would hold his pieces together. It was yet to be seen if he’d make it as a brother or if his desperate need to be accepted would make it impossible to bring him on as a member.
After he was in a spot where he could see the road from both sides, I made my way into the cabin and locked the door behind me. Sammy stood there in front of the body with her head cocked to the side and then heaved out a giant sigh. “He completely ruined this floor.”
