“Gavin! Please, I don’t think this is a good idea.”

“Do you want me to pick you up and throw you on that table?” Gavin pulled down Amy’s capris.

Amy grabbed the edge of the table and didn’t budge. He knelt down and kissed her belly. He felt her shiver with delight as he started licking and kissing around her belly button. He could feel her grab his shoulders and hold on for dear life.

“Oh, my God!” Amy cried as she threw back her head.

Gavin reached in between Amy’s legs and palmed her pussy through her underwear. She was soaked. Gavin stood and took a step back.

“Get the rest of those clothes off and get that sexy ass up on that table,” Gavin commanded.

Amy stared at Gavin.

“Amy…” Gavin warned.

Gavin stood and unhooked Amy’s bra. She shimmied her panties down her legs and hoisted herself up onto the edge of the table. He sat down in a chair and put his hands under Amy’s knees and pushed her backward onto the table.

“I’m hungry…” Gavin latched his mouth on to Amy’s pussy.

Amy screamed as Gavin lapped at her clit. He sucked and licked her clit until she begged him to stop. He knew she had climaxed by the way she was shivering. Her nerve endings were raw with adrenaline when he touched her. She sat up on the table and slid down in front of him. He helped her unbutton his jeans and free his cock. She knelt in front of him and looked up at him as she licked the head of his cock.

“Fuck!” Gavin took in a sharp breath.

Amy was working his cock with her tongue as he gripped the table. He could feel her luscious, warm mouth take him inside and fuck him ever so slowly. He could feel her tongue tease the tip and head, making him insane.

“Amy, stop! Stop and get back up on that table. I want to fuck you,” Gavin commanded.

Amy lifted herself back onto the table. Gavin roughly threw open her legs and stood in front of her, teasing her slick pussy with his cock. She screamed as he tormented her.

“Gavin! Please!”

“Say it!”

“Fuck me!”

“All right, my hottie, here it comes!” Gavin snarled.

Gavin impaled Amy with his cock as he started pumping himself in and out of her pussy. He watched her claw the table. He gripped her thighs and could feel her hot pussy clutch him. He increased his fucking and grabbed her hips when he heard her cry out her climax. He let himself go at the same time.

“Amy!” Gavin roared as he came.

Gavin slowed and squeezed his eyes shut in pain. He would pay for his fun.

He helped her sit up and she wrapped her arms around him. He pulled her to his chest and kissed the top of her head.

“Oh, baby. I missed you,” Gavin said as he stroked Amy’s long hair.

“I missed you, too,” Amy said quietly.

“I think dinner’s ready.”

Amy giggled. Gavin smiled as he backed away. She jumped down from the table. She picked up her clothes and went to the bedroom, returning a short time later. He set the table and they ate a quiet dinner. He looked at her and thought about Rock’s visit today. He hated keeping secrets from her, especially after all they had been through.

“So what’s the deal with the wedding?” Gavin asked, redirecting himself.

“I’ve got a date in February. Do you know who you want to invite?”

“I have a small list,” Gavin said with a smile.

“We can rent a pretty big place when we go down. It has six rooms and can hold up to twenty people. It was really reasonable for a week.”

“Since we’re asking people to travel all that way, we should try to carry some of the cost,” Gavin said.

Gavin’s cell phone rang and he answered it quickly when he saw who it was from. He frowned when he heard the information. He ended the call and excused himself, making another call as he walked outside.

* * * *

“Okay, boss. I’ll start the schedule back up again and I’ll keep it on the down low,” Jimmy said.

“Three guys, Jimmy,” Gavin repeated.

“I got it.”

Jimmy ended the call and shook his head. He knew that Gavin was in no shape to work, but the man was relentless. Jimmy contacted the three officers the lieutenant had requested to start working the surveillance detail that had ended when Rivera had died. Apparently, the boss’s crystal ball, namely the SEALs he was working with, had found something. The action was about to pick up again.

Victoria Police Department

Office of the Chief of Police

Victoria, Texas

March 19, 2008/1350 Zulu

“Why the fuck didn’t you tell me this!” David demanded from Gavin.

“Because you didn’t have a need to know at the time!” Gavin roared back.

“This is my fucking department and those are my officers. You report to me!”

“I’m asking for a search warrant, David. Let’s make this clean and go local or I will go federal. I don’t think you want the press that goes with it.”

David sat back in his chair and stared at Gavin. He was really pissed at being left out of the loop on this one.

“Okay,
badass
. But I’m going with you. I want to make sure no one else gets hurt.”

Gavin stood and left. After being gone for over six weeks, he was glad to be back at work even if it was sitting behind his desk for a few hours a day. It was easy to talk his doctor into the early release program, but it had been hell convincing Amy. She finally relented as long as he did half days and was home before she was. If he wasn’t home she would come to the police station looking for him. He smiled. As soon as he got better they needed to have another little chat. She was getting downright bossy.

Amy had expressed her concerns because they had not been able to locate Marco Lima. Gavin tried to reassure her as often as he could that it was over and things would be returning to normal. Deep down inside he knew things actually would get worse before they got better. He had worked on the evidence for the warrant he wanted issued. He had already talked to the DA and the DA was comfortable asking a judge to issue a warrant for the raid he wanted to conduct. It gnawed at him that the dirty cop was still out there.

For the next couple of days, a plan was developed on how Gavin and his SWAT officers would handle the raid on the small inner-city home. Rivera, it seemed, had taken out some insurance and had probably hidden it in his mother’s house. It was evidence regarding the business Rivera had been conducting with Lima and Bakri. Rivera had a laptop stowed away and Marco Lima had just started a trace to find it.

Finding that laptop had turned into a race because the Mexican Mafia was looking for it as well. They had gotten wind of how lucrative this deal was and wanted in on the action. Getting that laptop they figured would go a long way in cutting out the middlemen in M-22. They planned on dealing with the terrorist directly. Why Lima needed the laptop was still a mystery. Because Lima was going after it, Gavin knew there was something bigger and more involved.

Gavin was notified that a judge had granted his request for a warrant. He was briefing his men when David arrived in the briefing room. David sat and listened to the tail end of the plan. David’s eyes narrowed when he saw Captain O’Malley and three other SEALs walk into the briefing room. David pulled Gavin aside.

“What the fuck are
they
doing here?” David demanded.

“I have an interagency agreement with them, Chief. They’re working with us.”

“You can’t do that! What the hell is wrong with you? The military can’t operate on US soil. You’ll get me fired!”

“They aren’t
operating
. They’re here in the capacity of
advisors
. These are enemy combatants we’re dealing with and the Navy has a particular interest in what happens because of an incident on a Marine base. The FBI has an interagency agreement with the Navy.
I am the FBI
. I did my paperwork and it’s all legal. Now, Chief, are you staying or coming along for the ride?” Gavin asked.

David gave Gavin a dangerous look. “You better not fuck this up,
badass
.”

They got into Gavin’s truck and followed the rest of the team. As the team got into place, they waited in the truck a safe distance away. Gavin looked at David with interest and decided to get some things out in the open.

“David, tell me the truth. Why don’t you want me and Amy to get married?” Gavin asked.

“Because you’re not the man for her.”

“What kind of man do you think is for
her
?”

“She needs someone stable and consistent, low risk. The last thing in the world she needs is to worry about you not coming home. I’m surprised she made it through your little hospital vacation.”

“She’s a lot stronger than you think, David,” Gavin said. The two men stared out into the darkness and watched the little house in the impoverished neighborhood. “Why don’t you want us together and why do you keep saying she’ll get hurt?”

“Because you’re fucked up in the head,” David grunted.

“Am I?” Gavin asked with a smile. “Well, then, tell me something else…”

“What’s that?”

“Why did you do it?”

“Do what?”

“You set it all up between Tim and Jorge. You got Tim the money he needed to move to Corpus Christi and go away. I understand why you did that. You were protecting Amy. What I don’t understand is why you turned dirty. Why did you take Bakri’s money? You don’t need it. What the fuck were you thinking?” Gavin asked, giving David a hard look.

“What the fuck are you talking about?” David demanded.

“That’s been your problem, hasn’t it, David? Of all the people on the force, I was the one you couldn’t control completely. That’s why you didn’t want Amy anywhere near me and that’s why you were afraid she would get hurt. You knew they were trying to kill me. Who was the sniper? It wasn’t anyone in the department. That kind of shooting takes serious training.”

“I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about,” David snapped.

“David, don’t fuck with me. I know you’re on the take and I know you’ve been the one feeding them information on all of our ops. In fact, I set you up the night I was almost taken out. Too bad it didn’t work out for you. I know you’re dirty, I have proof. Did you think about Amy and Irene and how this would affect them
when
you got caught? Did you seriously believe I would never be able to figure this out?” Gavin asked.

David’s look turned deadly. “Why couldn’t you just fucking die,
badas
s?”

“Amy wouldn’t let me and she’ll never leave me. But she will leave you and so will Irene when they find out about this. So how are we doing this, David? Are you doing the right thing? Do you even know what that is anymore? Tell me who that fucking sniper was,” Gavin said.

“Fuck you and your proof!” David snarled as he got out of the car.

* * * *

The SWAT team was in place and waiting for the signal when they heard a gunshot at the back of the house. They swung into action as they burst into the small house. They heard gunshots from the rear of the house and started to return fire. There was an eerie calm when all of the weapons went silent. Three people were wounded. Gavin walked to the rear of the house where Rock and his team stood at a distance. The SWAT officers were attempting to administer aid and in the distance there was the sound of a siren.

“Lieutenant! It’s the chief!” Jimmy yelled.

Gavin walked to the group of men huddled around David Ortiz. David opened his eyes and looked at Gavin.

“Take care of them…” David said with his last breath.

Gavin knelt beside David
.
I guess you thought this was the right thing, didn’t you Chief? Gavin wanted to ask out loud. The other officers who entered the small home found the items they were looking for and turned them over to the SEAL team. Gavin found Rock.

“This will be hard to explain,” Gavin said.

“What do you need to explain?” Rock asked.

“How do I break this to Irene and Amy? I have to tell them.”

“Don’t you think telling them he’s dead will be bad enough? I’m making it so you can’t tell anyone. That information is now classified top secret in an ongoing operation.
Chief Walsh
, you can’t discuss what you know about David Ortiz and his dealings with Nayyaf Bakri at this time. No one but us knows the other shit Ortiz did. Let it die with him for now. They don’t need to be humiliated and grieving at the same time,” Rock said, turning away to leave.

“Thanks, Rock.”

“I’m not doing this for you,” Rock snapped without looking at him.

* * * *

The funeral for Chief David Ortiz lasted three days. Irene and Amy were beside themselves with grief. David was buried with full police honors. Thank goodness David had insisted publicly that he wanted to be in on the raid. It answered a lot of questions that Gavin really could not and did not want to answer. The inquiry into David’s death and the internal affairs investigation lasted much longer. He and the SWAT officers were questioned over and over concerning the night of the raid and the fatal bullet.

Rock and his team managed to get the information they needed from the laptop, and four months later Rock asked Gavin to join him in San Diego. They would interrogate Krazi Mummar once more. Gavin was really concerned about leaving Amy and Irene alone, especially Irene. Amy had informed him that Irene had started counseling. Gavin was seeing Irene as the mother he never had and he was protective of her almost as much as he was of Amy.

“Honey, the last thing in the world Irene should do is retire!” Gavin said to Amy over dinner one night.

“She’s insistent and she has thirty years. I think they’re forcing her out and she’s really in no mind to argue.”
