“What exactly did you tell Sam?” I whispered.
“Well, just about everything.” He said with a smile in his voice.
Fuck me. Ember and I had gone to Dairy Queen for a blizzard after dinner. It was the place to hang, and a lot of the high school was there regularly. I had spotted James and Max almost as soon as we walked in, but didn’t go over to them, just ordered and we sat down. The booth behind us was occupied by a state trooper with his back to us. There was a group of boys behind us on the other side who were being quite obnoxious. The boys hadn’t noticed the state trooper, and were making fun of Ember and I.
It had gotten so bad, that my ears were turning pink, and I was thoroughly embarrassed. They were talking about what they would do to us if they had us alone and naked. Finally they crossed the line when one of them said something along the lines of “My dad has this drug that makes them want it.” At that I had surged up out of my seat, and over to the boy’s booth so fast that I didn’t realize I had done it until it was already done. I was leaping the table to go after the guy who said it with everything I had when the state trooper caught me around the waist and pulled me back. I still had my Blizzard in my hand, so I took the opportunity to throw it at the wanna-be man who would say something so disgusting.
I’d unintentionally started a food fight, and was promptly taken into custody. The boy was also arrested for threatening harm to a minor, and the boy’s father sent him to military school, and I never saw him again. The State Trooper had taken me to my mom, and she had torn me a new one. Only after the Trooper was gone did she say that she probably would have done the exact same thing. The embarrassing part of the whole thing was that the Trooper said I deserved a spanking in front of the entire Dairy Queen crowd, and he would be happy to deliver it if I didn’t settle down. The whole school knew by the next day, and I was offered spankings, even to this day.
That was just one of many times that I had gotten into trouble with the law, but probably the most memorable.
“Why are y’all getting married so fast?” James asked, pulling me out of my thoughts.
“We want to.” I clipped and left it at that. I really didn’t want to go into why we were moving so fast. I was still denying the possibility of pregnancy, and was doing a really good job at ignoring it. I couldn’t really tell him why, just that it felt right, and I couldn’t see myself spending my life without him.
To get him off this particular topic, I changed the subject.
“Hear anything more from the baby mama?”
“No, I spoke with my lawyer just to make sure I had an air tight case, and he confirmed that I did. The daycare knows all about it, and has a copy of the paperwork just in case the cops are brought in. Hopefully though, we don’t have to worry about that.” He said matter of factly.
The daycare was a very secure location, and the security of the building was good, so the guys weren’t worried about the girls like I had originally thought they should be.
“This daycare facility has the mayor’s kids, as well as the prestige of the city’s kids in it. The security is air tight there, they have cameras, the doors stay locked unless you have a code, and they have a top notch security system. Nothing will happen to the girl’s on that front.” I felt a little better after hearing this. I hadn’t noticed when Sam and I had been there with James’ baby mama (I didn’t like saying her name), but we had never made it past the front foyer, which still meant we had to get past two locked doors to get back to Janie.
“I didn’t realize you had a lawyer.” I said to him. I mean I knew he had one three years ago when he got custody of Janie, but why would he still have one?
“I have one because every soldier needs one. My will is with him. That was the first thing that the COs told us to take care of before we deployed. This lawyer is also the one that took care of Janie’s custody. I even think mom has her will with him.” He said to me.
I stayed silent for quite a while after that. I guess I never really thought of it before, but it would make sense to have it because Iraq and Afghanistan were deadly places, and on could never be too careful.
A couple of parts orders came in, so James and I headed out to my little Ford Ranger. First stop was the same shop that James worked at when he was younger. Old Mr. Tanner loved when I stopped by, and he was in for a surprise today when he saw James.
SAM
“Now, repeat to me your new name, and all of the information I have given to you.” I said to Robin.
All of our girls got new names after we found them new places to stay. They were new people as far as I was concerned. They not only received new names, but new jobs, places to stay, backgrounds, and even new hair colors and ways to dress. They left their old lives behind, and became their new identity.
“My name is Robin Sienna Tyler. I live at 427 Puckett Drive. Lexington, Kentucky. My birthday is June 8, 1981. My parents are Ada and Nathan Tyler. I have never been married, and have no kids. I am a retail associate at Kohl’s Department Store. I was born and raised in Kentucky.” She continued on for a while.
