A force to be reckoned with

As soon as D kissed me, I kneed him right in the groin rather hard. He dropped to the floor immediately, crying and moaning in pain. I left the interview room and told Al what had happened. Al laughed hysterically when I told him that D dropped to the floor in pain.

“I know I’ve done quite a bit to piss you off over the years and pushed you harder than others but I’m grateful that you never dropped me to the floor like you did with your former boss. But then again, I never tried to kiss you! Ha ha. What would you like me to do with Bozo in the interview room?” Al asked.

“Give him the aggravated assault as well as assault of a police officer….with a deadly weapon,” I said with a Cheshire grin.

“Bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. I love your humor, my friend. But I take it that you’re serious,” Al said.

“I have a sick sense of humor but it works. Yes I am serious. Do you think that the assault of an officer will stick?” I asked.

“I doubt that it will but I’ll go for sexual harassment. Is that ok if the other won’t stick?”

“Sure. What a scumbag. Whatever. I’m off unless you need anything else?”

“I’m good although I’m hoping that you could dispel a rumor for me.”
“Sure” I say.

“What’s this I hear about you being pregnant?” Al asked.

“It’s true. I’m stepping down from negotiations for now but still will be with the homicide department and the assistant chief. I’ll tell the FD that I can’t work with them anymore. I’m getting stretched thin with here and the new company. I was only freelance with them anyways.”

“Sounds like a smart move on your end. I’ll update everything. Take it easy and I’ll see you in a few days.”

I nodded and found Vince in my office sleeping. I woke him up and we left for the apartment. Once inside we popped in a movie and relaxed for the rest of the day.
