Chance rolled her hat around in her hands. "I'm worried what ski season will bring. Like your visiting cowboys, we'll have the mountain crawling with idiots with too much money far away from home."
"I think I'd still take your crazy over mine. The view alone is worth it."
"I can't argue with you. I wish I had a better handle on this heroin thing. We've beefed up our emergency medical service with extra Narcan and will have heavy police presence during the festival. No way to keep track of the amount of out of state visitors, though I'd really like to put up the license plate reader that came in. I've got the money from a grant, it's more the privacy issues I'm currently tiptoeing around. No matter how many times I explain that this camera isn't being used for traffic violations, it's a hard sell. I've explained over and over that the only thing it keys in on is a plate already in the system for a warrant or a be-on-the-lookout. I still have resistance. Hell, I've got sovereign citizens as residents of my county that are calling it unconstitutional even though they don't believe in a single law, constitutional or not."
Will chewed his gum furiously with pop and cracking sounds coming from his mouth. "Those citizens," he made air quotes, "are nut jobs. Remember that class we took last year at that law enforcement convention? They don't think anyone has rule over them. One of my deputies stopped one a few years ago for having no tags on a vehicle. The guy had no registration and no insurance. I'm still fighting all that in court. The amount of discovery he requested is far outweighing what the fine would have brought. Makes no sense except that they like to fuck with law enforcement. Dangerous as hell too. You be careful."
Chance rose from her seat and Zeus stepped to her side. She reached out her hand to shake Will's. "I'll do just that. Now I've got to get out of here and over to Los Loco to pick up dinner or I may be sleeping on the couch."
Will rose and shook her hands. "I may run over there and do the same. Congratulations, by the way. I thought you'd end up marrying that doctor but looks like you found someone that will put up with you and your K9 there." He nodded toward Zeus.
Chance brushed a hand across Zeus' well healed ear and thought of the care Jax had given them both when they'd been injured. "Sometimes, things work out for the best. Thanks, Will. Keep in touch."
Will waved her out of his office and Chance made her way back to the vehicle. "Let's go make momma happy."

About CJ Murphy
I began to create lesbian fiction after my wife suggested I write her a story as a personalized gift. I was privileged to be mentored by another published author who helped turn a raw manuscript, into an actual novel. Upon completion, she encouraged me to submit to Desert Palm Press. DPP offered me a contract for my first novel, 'frame by frame' in 2017. My second novel, The Bucket List, was published in late 2018. I credit my story telling ability to being an avid reader and having an adventure filled occupation for twenty-five years as a career firefighter.
