PHOTO 2 Fireworks from a boat on the lake

WC 338

 

This wasn't her idea of a clandestine meeting. Shelly sat on a blanket in the middle of the park on the banks of the lake waiting for Bryce. He was bringing her copies of police files that pertained to the case she was currently working.

She opened the picnic basket next to her and took out a sandwich. She was hungry and he was late. He was always late.

She jumped as the first firework exploded in air from the boat in the middle of the lake. She cursed herself for being so jumpy. It’s just been a long week and its wasn't uncommon for her to get shot at in her line of work.

Bryce sat down next to her. “Good spot.” He was in jeans and an untucked white shirt. “Handsome as ever.”

“I thought so.” Shelly glanced over at him. “Want a sandwich? Ham and swiss on pumpernickel.”

“Only if you put dill pickles on it.” Bryce looked in the basket.

“Of course I did. What do you take me for, a gourmet?” Shelly reached into the basket and handed him a sandwich. “You got something for me?”

Bryce reached into his back pocket and pulled out his wallet. He took a SD card out and handed it to her. “Files and crime scene photos.”

“I owe you.” Shelly took the card and dropped it the inside pocket of her leather jacket. “What are you doing later?”

“Taking you for ice cream?” Bryce smiled that smile he used to get his way.

“Fine but no expectations.” Shelly warned.

“I'm just hanging out with my ex-wife. Not expecting a thing. Nope not a single thing.” Bryce chuckled.

“God! You're still an ass! You know that?” Shelly laughed.

“Yeah.” Bryce admitted. “But you can’t seem to stay away from me.”

Shelly sighed. “Yeah. You're the. Cheapest snitch i have. A sandwich and ice cream and boom all the info a girl could ever want.”

Bryce raised an eyebrow at her then leaned over and kissed her. “Anytime.”
