Golden Shields ( Katy1008 & CrimsonMaster )

Evie stopped at the officer's desk and smiled. She walked around to where he was sat, grinning, looking up at her. He reclined back in his chair as she approached. She reached out a hand and drew her fingers slowly down his cheek, feeling a day's growth on his face. She leaned forward a little, and every man anywhere vaguely behind her wished that she would have bent over just a little further. But she didn't. She brought her face close to the detective's, her mouth a few inches from his.

"Damn right they do" she whispered. "But you can't afford them on a cop's salary." She patted his cheek softly and then stood up and joined Reed as he waited at the door. They said nothing as they made their way to their new unmarked car. She climbed inside carefully, sitting down on the seat first and then, knees and ankles together, bringing her legs inside. When they arrived at Vine Street, they checks the coms once more and then she climbed out of the car by reversing the method. She stood for a moment and watched as Reed drove away, then she tugged the top of the dress up and the bottom of the dress down, smoothing the fabric out over her body. She looked both way. She thought that if anyone had seen the car stop, they would have just assumed that she had just gotten dropped off either by a John she had just been with or by her pimp. No-one seemed to be looking in her direction and so she started walked towards the theatre. She walked purposely, her heels loud on the concrete. Unnoticed by her, it only took a few moments before the exercise and the cool night air made her nipples clearly visible through the fabric of the dress. A few guys checked her out as she walked towards the Boulevard Theatre but there was no propositions.

When she arrived, she couldn't see either Jenny or Amber. She loitered for a few moment, trying to look like she was more than comfortable. Suddenly she found herself wishing that she had had a pack of cigarette and a lighter put in her purse. She had given up 12 months beforehand but suddenly found herself wanting one. She hoped that the two girls turned up before she had any potential customer. Refusing business wasnt going to look too good but she needed to be there when Jenny and Amber arrived.
 
Before Evie arrived at the place where she would meet with Jenny & Amber, each girl had been picked up by a John. Jenny was the first to return since her John only wanted a hand job and some dirty talk. She climbed from his car then waved at Evie as if they had been friends for years. Jenny walked over to where Evie was standing. She wrapped her arms around Evie giving her a hug. Jenny wanted everyone to believe that Evie was just another girl who worked the streets. That was part of Evie's cover and something that Tom said needed done. Jenny explained that she got picked up a few minutes ago, but the guy wasn't able to keep from blowing his wad. She gave a laugh while reaching into her handbag and pulled out a pack of cigarette and lighter.

Jenny pulled a cigarette from the pack then lit it up. She noticed an odd look on Evie's face then Jenny asked if she wanted one? Jenny held out the pack and lighter towards Evie as another car pulled up and Amber stepped out ginning. She had just made a fast $100 bucks for letting the man in the car fuck her in the ass. Amber joined Jenny & Evie telling them about her John.

Tom looked on as the time slowly ticked by. The girls had a quick operation going. 10 minutes was the normal time spent with a customer unless he was paying them a lot of money. To these girls time was money and the more customers they could please in the shortest amount of time meant more money for them.
 
When jenny arrived, Evie was relieved but hopefully she hadn't made it too obvious. She hugged the girl back and felt Jenny kiss her softly on her cheek. Jenny was a good actress. As soon as the hug was over, she started a conversation as if the two of them had indeed been friends for ages. Evie watched her as she took the cigarettes out of her purse and then lit up. She saw the expression on Jenny's face and then the offer of the pack. Evie took a breath. Could she quit the habit again in the morning? And if she said no, could that look suspicious? Why would Jenny offer her a cigarette if, as her supposed friend she knew that she didn't smoke. Evie took the cigarette and let Jenny light it for her. That first drag was unbelievable... it was maybe the best drag of a cigarette she had ever had in her life. A few second alter she felt a little light headed but it passed quickly as she listened to Jenny telling her about her last customer. Then suddenly she was aware of Amber being there too. The three women hugged each other and Amber lit her own cigarette.

"So now what?" Evie asked. "Isn't it going to look a little strange the three of us just stood here?"

"its ok... girls often stand together... but if a car pulls up, one of at least has to take it. If we don't then that will look suspicious." Amber said.

"Okay" Evie nodded as she took another long drag on the cigarette. It was going to be a long night she thought to herself and she wondered just how long it was going to be before she had to actually take a customer. Could she really hang around refusing everyone unless they happened to be driving a black SUV?
 
Police Officers don't take part of illegal operations such as prostitution, but Lesley did say that the Chief wanted this killer caught and Evie was told to do what she had to do in order to catch him. Of course no one was expecting her to take a John, but if Evie did choose to go with a guy......Tom wouldn't say anything. He knew that Evie was just doing what she had to do and Tom would bend the rules from time to time so that a dangerous person could be put behind bars. The time was 20 minutes after 10:00 pm. A car pulled up as Jenny walked over. She talked with the man inside for a few minutes then she got in and left. Amber said that it wouldn't be long before Jenny returned. Moments later a second car pulled up and Amber walked over. Just as Jenny had done moments before, Amber spoke with the man inside. She climbed into his while giving Evie a smile and a wink of her eye.

Evie soon found herself alone, but she wasn't alone for long. A third car pulled up and a guy leaned over into the passenger seat looking at Evie. " Hey Baby.........How much for a good time? " The man asked as he looked lustfully at Evie. He wasn't a bad looking man, in his late 40's with red hair and glasses. Tom watched Evie walked over to the car. He told Evie to be careful in her ear piece. No one else could hear anything that Tom would say to Evie. He then told Evie to do what she needed to do so her cover was safe.
 
Evie felt her heart skip a beat and then kick into overdrive as the third car pulled up and the guy called over to her. This was it. All of her life, everything she had ever learned, told her to simply ignore the guy. He'd get bored and he'd go away. But this wasn't the playground or high school or college. This was a bad part of downtown LA and the fact that she was stood here, dressed like she was meant that she was the one who was really making the invitation. She dropped the cigaretted and used the toe of her boot to extinguish it on the pavement. She smiled at the guy as she walked over to the car, leaning in through the wound down window on the passenger side. "Be careful... do what you need to to maintain cover." The words from Reed replayed through her head.

"That depends on how much of a good time you're looking for sweetheart." She couldnt help but wonder what the hell her family would say if they saw her right now? And Reed was going to hear everything... know about everything. Was he going to keep his mouth shut? Even from his former partner? Was she really going to do this?
 
The man looked at how hot Evie looked. He was looking for a good time and was willing to pay for it. He reached into the back pocket of his pants and pulled out his wallet. He opened the wallet then pulled out a $100 dollar bill. " What will this buy me? " The man asked as his eyes moved all over Evie's body. He was willing to pay even more for a hottie like Evie, so price wasn't a big deal. Tom looked on as Evie spoke with this guy. He obviously wasn't their killer, but if the killer was lurking somewhere nearby and saw Evie blow this guy off, it could blow her cover. The killer could try further down the street instead of trying here again.

Tom had already made up his mind that whatever Evie did, she was doing in the line of duty. " Do what you have to Evie.......Nothing will be said to anyone......You have to keep your cover......That's what's important. " Tom whispered into a microphone which sent what he said straight to Evie.
 
Evie heard Reed's voice again, but kept a sexy smile on her face as she watched the man take out his wallet and wave a c-note at her. She stepped back from the car for a second, and then opened the passenger door. This time, in getting in, she put her left foot into the footwell first, stretching her long leg out so the that driver got a perfect view. Then she sat down and brought her right leg into the car, closing the passenger door. She turned in her seat to face the buy and she placed her hand on his thigh, squeezing gently.

"$100 bucks... gets you... 15 minutes... whatever you want sweetheart." She let her hand slip slowly up the man's thigh and moved it over the obvious bulge in the front of his pants. The man looked down at her hand and then back at her. He gave her the note and as she tucked it into her purse, he put the car in gear and moved away with the intent of pulling into an alleyway a couple of blocks away. Once Evie had slipped the cash into her purse, she put her hand back on to the driver's legs and he did the same to hers. He was clearly a hard working many; his hand was rough, calloused, but Evie found it felt good on the soft skin of her inner thigh.
 
The man introduced himself as Lewis as he drove down the boulevard then turned into the alley where he parked. He was enjoying how Evie's hand felt upon his leg. Her touch only made his cock harder and it showed that he had a nice package between his legs. " If you wouldn't mind......I would like to start out with a blow job.......Then I'd like very much if we could fuck......I'd be willing to pay more if I could fuck you in both holes? " Lewis asked as a blush came to his face. He hadn't done this kind of thing before, going out and paying a hooker for sex. His heart was racing since this was all so new to him. Of course Evie looked so very hot in her dress which showed off her athletic body.

Tom watched as the car drove passed then disappeared into the alley not far from where he was parked. He heard everything that was said between Evie and this man named Lewis. It was obvious that Evie was going to give herself to Lewis and it needed to be done. Tom made a note in the log book that at this time no action was going on and Evie was still at her post. Tom would cover for his partner no matter how many men she had to fuck before the killer showed up. He looked at his watch then nodded his head. 15 minutes would give Evie plenty of time to finish up with Lewis and return to where the girls were working.
 
Evie looked down the alleyway as he pulled the car to a stop and switched the engine off, but left the headlight on. There was no-one else in the alley. Evie looked back to be man.

"Okay Lewis...I think we can do that." she whispered softly and then she leaned in and kissed him softly on the lips.

Then she climbed out of the car and walked around to the hood, hearing Lewis open his own door, climb out and then follow suit. As he came around, she moved so that her back was to the hood and Lewis came and stood in front of her. She took a breath, inwardly steadying herself and then as her hands began to undo the man's belt, she moved down onto her haunches, leaning against the front grill. She eased out the man's thick hard cock; it was maybe 7 or 8 inches. She looked up at him as she brought her mouth to his cock. This wasn't the first blow job Evie had given. Throughout her time in the Force, she had managed to avoid any kind of reputation; she was neither seen as an easy lay or as some frigid lesbian. She didn't particularly sleep around but she was no nun either. She enjoyed sex... she enjoyed being fucked... and she enjoyed sucking cock. This was a novel experience for her though. She let her head bob back and forth, sucking and slurping on the man's cock slowly losing herself in the moment.

After a few minutes, she got up and turned around and leaned forward over the hood of the car.

"This is what you wanted isn't it sweetheart?"
 
Lewis quickly followed Evie's actions as she left his car. He was out and standing in front of her. His heart was pounding with such a beat that Lewis felt it would punch straight through his chest. Lewis watched as Evie lowered herself down to the ground in front of him. His breathing started to become heavier when Evie undid his pants then took his hard cock into her mouth. This was certainly everything that Lewis was hoping for. His first time with a woman of the street and she was amazing. Long moans came from Lewis as Evie worked over his cock like she had been working the streets for years. There was no way Lewis couldn't tell that Evie wasn't a hooker.

His eyes had been closed while Evie sucked his cock, but his eyes opened once she pulled away. He let out a deep sigh after seeing Evie bending over the hood of his car. Lewis moved up taking a hold of his cock then pressing the head against Evie's pussy. " God!.....You're so fucking hot baby! " Lewis said as he pushed his hips forward. His thick tool slowly pushed it's way deep into Evie's pussy. " God you're so tight! " Lewis groaned out as his cock sank all the way up to his balls. He grabbed onto Evie's hips then started to fuck her very hard and very fast.

Tom continued to wait, he looked at his watch as the seconds ticked by. He kept a close watch on the street where the girls would be standing. They had all gone off to please their Johns for money, including his partner. Jenny soon returned, she was however lost at where Evie had gone. See could clearly see the unmarked police car still sitting in the lot, but Evie was no where to be seen. Tom looked back towards the alley where Evie was. He could hear the sounds that she and Lewis were making. There was no doubt that Evie was getting fucked and Tom was feeling a little jealous since he was wishing it was him who was fucking her right now. Evie was ether a great actor or she was really enjoying being fucked by Lewis.....Tom just couldn't tell which.
 
Evie moaned as she felt Lews' hard dick slip into her wet cunt, and she was wet. Without realising it fully, this whole thing ad turned her on. Maybe it ad started back at the station when she had put the dress on... When she had become someone else... Something else. But then getting in a car with a stranger for one thing. Feeling his hand on her leg. His cock in her mouth. All of it had made her so very wet. And she had all but forgotten her audience.

She groaned again, signed, gasped, moaned and as Lewis began to fuck her hard and fast, she began to squeal. She squeezed her cunt around his shaft, squeezed and released and squeezed again. She felt him put his hand on her shoulder and pull her back towards him as he thrust forward. She was thankful he didn't grab hold of her hair; she usually liked having her hair pulled during sex, particularly when she was fucked like ths, but the last thing she wanted was her wig being pulled off.

"oh you feel... So good sweetheart... That's it... Fuck me harder... Please...ohhh godmmmmmm." if anyone else came into the alleyway, Evie wouldn't have noticed.
 
Tom suddenly felt that rush of warmth take over his body again. It was just like at the station when Evie walked into the squad room wearing that hot black dress, but it certainly felt 10 times hotter in the car now. Tom rolled down the window to get some fresh air while his ear was burning with what sounded more like a porno movie then it did a police stakeout. It was a good thing that all the patrol units where stationed just outside of this area. It wouldn't look good for Evie if a police car rolled up on her as she was being fucked by Lewis. Tom looked back towards the adult bookstore where Jenny was standing. The car that had picked Amber up brought her back. She climbed from the car then walked over to Jenny. Tom could see the two girls talking and he was sure that they were wondering where Evie had gone.

Lewis was already fucking Evie hard, but when she asked to be fucked even harder, he didn't want to disappoint her. His hips slammed harder to Evie's body just as she had asked. His cock was pounding her dripping wet cunt just like Evie was a real whore. Lewis fucked Evie just as she wanted for a good 5 minutes before he pulled his cock from her pussy. He then jammed his slick cock straight into Evie's ass. Lewis didn't miss a beat, he ramped up his speed pounding her ass just as hard as he was pounding her pussy. His thrust were powerful and after another 5 minutes of hard fucking....Lewis blew his load in Evie's ass.
 
Evie squealed and groaned and grunted. In truth it was a long time since she had been fucked so hard, since she had felt so good being fucked. And being fucked like a whore -which at that moment was exactly what she was - was clearly making the experience even better. Her back was arched and as Lewis continued to fuck her, the top of her dress slipped down and her tits began to bounce a little more freely as they were unrestrained by the fabric of the dress... Not that the thin fabric of the dress had done much.

When Lewis pulled out of her cunt and moved swiftly and smoothly to her ass, Evie squealed again. She wasn't often fucked in the ass and Lewis gave her body no time to accustom to his size. But again she couldn't believe how good his cock felt. She knew she shouldn't be enjoying this so much. She was a cop, working a stakeout. Maintaining her cover was one thing but this was well above and beyond... Lewis started telling her how he was going to cum in her ass... Telling her what a good fuck she was... Telling her how hot her body was... Built to be fucked like this... Asking her if she liked how his dick felt. And then he came hard. Evie squealed again feeling his cum hot deep in her ass.

A few minutes later, she was back in the car and Lewis drove her back to where he had picked her up. Whilst he was driving her back, Evie tried to clean herself up a little, readjust her dress properly and smoothing down her hair again. When they stopped, Lewis gave her another $100 note.

When she got out of the car, at least from a distance, she looked the same as she had done before. Jenny and Amber came over to make sure she was okay. Neither of them had ever seen a vice cop actually take a John.
 
It was true that Vice cops don't take Johns when working on a case, but Evie wasn't a Vice cop. Evie worked Robbery/Homicide and finding a killer was more important then whether Evie had broken the rules by taking a John and fucking him in an alley. While it was true that Evie had in fact broken the rules since prostitution is a crime. She had kept her cover and her rule breaking hadn't caused any delay in the stakeout. Tom had kept a close eye on the street and no vehicle which match the SUV they were looking for showed up. Tom was glad too see Evie had returned and did so within the 15 minutes that she promised. He looked down at his watch, the time was 10:40. That was the moment when Tom noticed a black SUV pulling up a few feet away from where the girls were standing. " Look alive Evie.....This could be our man. " Tom said into the microphone. He looked for a front plate on the vehicle, but Tom couldn't see one. This meant that ether the front plate was to dirty or the driver had removed the plate.

In fact, the driver had removed both the front and back plates from his SUV. A man sat there inside waiting for one of these women to walk up to his vehicle. He was wearing a black cowboy which was easy enough too see since he was sitting under a street light. Tom would wait until Evie was inside the man's SUV and moving before he would pull out of the parking lot and follow them. He wouldn't follow to closely, but he would be close enough when Evie said "Angel".
 
Evie couldnt help but feel a little embarrassed as she met up with Jenny and Amber. They might not have known exactly what she had done but they knew enough. They both knew that a cop had taken money for some kind of sex act. Jenny smiled.

"Have to be honest... I didn't think you would have the guts to do it. I was pretty sure you would find some way to get out of it."

"Yeah... well... if I'd have thought about it too much I probably wouldnt have, but trying to catch a killer seemed like a good reason to do it."

"Was he good? Did he pay well?" Amber asked, barely hiding her laughter. Evie looked at her and started to smile and then she saw the SUV, maybe a half a second before she heard Reed's voice in her ear. Her heart beat quickened again and her body tensed. Showtime, she thought to herself. "This one is definitely mine ladies." She took a calming breath and looking straight at the shadow of the driver which she could just make out she let a slight smile play around her lips. She walked casually over to the SUV and as she approached the electric window slid silently down.

"Hey baby.... are you looking for some company and a little fun?"

The man said nothing but simply place $200 dollars on the passenger seat. Evie looked at it and then back at the driver. She smiled and chewed playfully on her lower lip as she opened the door and climbed up into the SUV, picking up the cash as she did so.

"So where are we going then baby?"
 
The in the SUV didn't speak when Evie first leaned into his vehicle. He let his money do the talking for him. $200 dollars in the world of prostitutes says a lot. He waited until Evie was inside the seating on the front seat before he pulled his black Chevy Tahoe out into the street. " Not far. " The man said in a rough sounding voice. His voice had a fake roughness to it, almost like he was hiding his real voice. Just as the black SUV passed the parking lot, Tom started the motor of his car and pulled out. Tom watched as the SUV turned the corner one block down from where Evie had been picked up. He reached that same corner and stopped long enough too see the SUV pulling into the first alley on the left.

Tom drove his car down then stopped again, this time just short of the alley where the SUV was now parked. Now came the rough part, playing the waiting game when you know something bad could happen to your partner. Back where the girls were standing, both Jenny & Amber breathed a sigh of relief. They both felt pretty good knowing that this man man was going to get what was coming to him. A car pulled up near where Jenny was standing. She walked over and leaned into the open window. Jenny started to talk with the man inside of this car. Her feeling of joy had over taken Jenny so much that when a second black Chevy Tahoe pulled up, she took little notice of it. Amber who was 22 and blonde walked over then climbed inside with only a few words being said between her and the driver.

The second black SUV pulled out as Jenny was stepping into the car. The black SUV passed as Jenny waved at Amber who waved back. Both were thinking that life had returned to normal for the girls who worked the streets. The car pulled out and Jenny who was talking with the driver finally got a better view of the SUV in front of them. Her face turned pale when she noticed the D-1 on the plate. " OH MY GOD!! " Jenny shouted out as the SUV passed by the first street where Tom's car was sitting. It continued down for another block before turning right. " WE'VE GOT TO FIND EVIE!! " Jenny again shouted as the man sitting next to her started to wonder if she was a crazy person. Jenny reached over and jerked the steering wheel hard to the right as the car reached the first block. The driver started yelling at her then he reached over with his hand and opened the passenger side door. He shoved Jenny out of his car then backed up and flew down Hollywood Boulevard. Jenny was taken by surprise and hit the ground hard, but she shook it off and started to run down the street towards Tom's parked car.

The man in the first black SUV already had his hands all over Evie's body, but he hadn't made any moves to harm her in anyway. Even in the dark there would be something familiar about this man's face. " Come on baby......spread those legs. " The man whispered as his hands roamed freely over Evie's body.
 
Evie slipped the cash into her pursue and then moved across the seat a little closer to the driver. Just as she had done with the first 'customer', she reached out her hand and moved it softly up and down his thigh. A slight puzzled look crossed Evie's face for a moment as there was something about the voice that wasn't quite right, but that just seemed to add to the fact that they had the right guy. He certainly wasn't the talkative type and the fact that he was maybe trying to disguise his voice might explain that. Whilst he drove the SUV, unlike Lewis, he didn't take his hands off the wheel and he didn't really look at Evie until he had turned into the alleyway just past the lot where she knew Tom was parked up.

When the car had came to a stop, he had switched off the engine entirely, this time meaning that the lights went out too. The he turned to Evie and reached out his hands. He pulled her towards him and immediately began to kiss at her neck as his hands moved up the outside of her thigh under the dress and over her ass and then back down. His other hand squeezed her tit over the top of her dress. Evie couldn't help but moan softly, squirming at the man's touch and when he told her to spread her legs, she did as he said, immediately giving the man the access he wanted. Evie was completely unaware of what was going on on the main street and she had no idea of what Jenny was about to tell Reed in the next few minutes.
 
Tom was ready to move in when Evie called out the word angel, but his attention was soon drawn to Jenny who came running up and started pounding on the passenger side window screaming her head off. He rolled down the window while Jenny was yelling about Amber and the black SUV. Tom wasn't sure why Jenny was acting this way, or why she was yelling about Amber. He was able to calm Jenny down enough so that she could tell him what happened. " SHIT!!!.....GET IN JENNY!! " Tom growled out in anger as he placed his single red light on the roof of his car. Jenny jumped into the back seat of the police car while Tom started it and pulled into the alley where Evie was parked. The flashing red light lit up the otherwise dark alley just as Tom hit the siren for a few short bursts.

The man inside the first SUV turned pure white, in fact he started to look very ill when the red light of an unmarked police car pulled up behind him. The short bursts from the siren didn't make him feel any better. His heart sank when he thought of how his business would be ruined once word of his being busted hit the newspapers. This is when Evie would notice that this man was Dan "Big Mac" McIntyre. A well known local used car dealer famous for his tv commercials.

Tom leaned out of the driver side window yelling for Evie to get in the car. Once she had left the first SUV and jumped into the car, Tom explained what had happened then he handed her his backup weapon which was a Glock. Tom backed up out of the alley then flew down the street and around the corner. " 1 William 56 to all backup units.......Suspect SUV spotted on Edgemont street.......All backup units respond....Code 3! " Tom's voice was very loud and commanding as he spoke into the mic after grabbing it from the police radio.
 
The sudden sound of the siren and the red light meant that the guy wasnt the only one who was taken by surprise. He suddenly pulled away and looked out of the back of the SUV. And then Evie recognized him.

"I know you... you're that guy on TV... some... used car salesman..." she looked back out of the rear window wondering why Reed had come too early. They didn't have anything on this guy ... nothing... so why the hell... The whoop whoop of the siren prevented her from being able to pull the guy's name from her memory but it wouldn't make any difference. There was no way they were going to make any charge of murder fit against him now. And then she heard Reed shouting out for her. She climbed out of the SUV. Walking towards her partner's car she held her hands out slightly from her sides, as if to ask 'what the hell...' and then she realized that whatever it was that was up, was not what she thought it was. She quickened her pace and went round to the passenger door, climbing in as Reed told her they had the wrong SUV.

"Shit." Evie thought to herself. They'd all jumped to the wrong conclusion and now Amber was in trouble. Evie looked back at Jenny in the rear seat and saw the fear in her eyes. But she couldn't bring herself to make any promises to make her feel better. She wasn't going to give any false hope.
 
Tom turned the corner onto Hollywood Boulevard hard which made the tires cry out. The siren cut through the air like a knife as the unmarked police car roared down the street. The next corner which was Edgemont was an even hard turn, but Tom kept the car from spinning around. He slammed on the breaks just as they reached the first alley. There was a black SUV just starting down the alley moving away from where their car was. Tom backed up just a bit the wheeled into the alley. He was going to chase down this vehicle, but Tom jammed on the breaks again when he saw the body of a woman laying in the alley. He jumped from the car followed closely by Evie & Jenny. It was Amber laying in the alley, her throat had been cut, but not as deep as the other girls. It would appear that the killer didn't have time to finish what he started on Amber.

Tom knelt down checking Amber for life, he looked back at Evie & Jenny. " She's alive! " Tom said with a great amount of relief in his voice. He then asked Jenny for her coat which he quickly gave to him. Tom wrapped the coat around Amber's neck then he picked her up in his arms. They needed to get Amber to the hospital quickly before she bled out. The closest hospital was only a few blocks from where they were at now, it was Hollywood Community Hospital. Tom told Evie to drive while Jenny jumped into the backseat followed by Tom with Amber still in his arms. He told Evie to call dispatch and tell the hospital that they were coming in with a slasher victim. He also told her to tell the backup units to stop and check any black SUV in the area of Hollywood Boulevard.
 
Evie climbed quickly into the driver's seat, waiting while Reed got Amber into the bak seat. As he did so, she put the car in gear, holding it on the bite, while she picked up the radio and sent through all the messages he had told her to.

As soon as the rear doors where closed, she dropped the clutch and sped off in the direction of the hospital. Part of her attention was on what was happening in the rear and part of it was on where she was driving. But she also couldn't help hoping that one of the other cars had caught up with the right SUV. How could they have gotten the wrong one. She pulled up at the emergency entrance of the hospital and Reed eased the injured girl out. He was met by a couple of emergency room staff and a gurney and he put her down then he and Jenny went in with the girl. Evie didn't really knw what she was supposed to do. Maybe she should get in and join in the search for the SUV, but then she didn't think she was exactly dressed for police work. She did have to move the car though away from the entrance, so she climbed back in, parking the car near the doorway but no longer blocking it. She couldn't help but wonder how many people were going to blame her for this. She had been right there on the street. Not only had another girl been hurt, but one of the girls she was with. No-one would blame Reed, he was a block away. She was thre. She should have checked. She should have been in the second SUV, not Amber.
 
Tom waved at Evie for her to join him. He followed the hospital personal inside as the wheeled Amber in a nearby elevator. They were taking Amber upstairs for emergency surgery. Jenny was pacing the floor until Evie came into the hospital. She ran up to Evie and wrapped her arms around Evie's neck. Tom leaned his back against a wall as he shook his head. Who would have guessed that two black Chevy Tahoes would show up at a stakeout only minutes apart? It wasn't long before Lt. Tamura showed up at the hospital. She didn't bring any good news with her, the search units came up empty. The killer had found away to slip out of the area without being spotted again.

This stakeout was Tom's since he was in command and so the fault of losing the killer was also his. Lesley didn't and couldn't blame anyone for what happened. She knew that having another black Chevy Tahoe show up would throw everything off. Lesley told Tom to let her know how Amber was after surgery and before leaving she stopped long enough to commend Evie on her choice of wardrobe. If Lesley didn't know Evie, she would have thought that Evie was just another working girl from the street. Lesley left the hospital and returned to the station where she reported to Captain MacDonald on what happened at the stakeout.
 
Having seen Reed wave her inside, once she had parked the car she followed them inside. She guessed that surgery would be likely and she found her way up to the right. She couldnt help but notice the looks that some people were giving her and she couldnt help feel like her dress was somewhat inappropriate but then it wasnt designed for sitting around a hospital. She was a little surprised by Jenny hugging her as she walked in. She guessed if anyone was going to blame her for Amber's injuries it was her. But the three of them waited together saying very little to each other.

When the Lt arrived, she couldn't help but think that the whole night had been a waste. They had been so close to catching the guy but instead they were sitting in a hospital waiting room. Evie also couldn't help but wonder whether, had Dan McIntrye... That was his name!... Not showed up, would she be getting emergency surgery right now.

When dawn came and the doctors reported that Amber had made it out of surgery but was going to be kept unconscious for a few days to try and give her a better chance, they dropped Jenny back home and then Tom drove them back to the station. Again she got the looks... many more of them now and the lewd comments to go with him. She took them in her stride but she changed quickly ak into jeans and a t-shirt which fitted her body only a little less than the dress had done. She washed her face and removed the blonde wig and as she walked back out of the locker room she was still shaking out her own hair. She was still wearing the boots and the clicks on the floor announced her return to her desk. She and Reed wrote their reports with Reed reminding her quietly to miss out the references to Lewis! That had reminded Evie. She reached into the pocket of her tight jeans and pulled out four folded $100 bills.

"Why not put those in the Connors fund? Might as well do some good."
 
The Doctor's felt that Amber would make it, but only time would tell. For now she was in a drug induced coma to keep her still. After her meeting early this morning with Captain MacDonald, Lt. Tamura ordered a 24 hour guard on Amber's hospital room. This was just in case the killer decided to try and killer her in the hospital, but such things rarely happened. It had been a long night for Tom & Evie and it was going to be an even longer day. Neither could go home since they had a wake to attend at the Connor's home.

Tom filled out his report then signed it. He looked up at Evie when she said something about putting those in the Connor's fund. Tom raised an eyebrow as he reached acrossed his desk and took the money from Evie's hand. He counted the bills and was amazed that Evie had $400 dollars here. Tom knew damn well how Evie got this money, it was earned last night when Evie was working the stakeout. " You must be pretty good to earn this kind of money. " Tom said as he pulled the thousand dollars from his inside coat pocket and added 400 extra. Tom knew for many people in Los Angeles, the money that Evie had just given him was almost two weeks pay. Evie had earned it all in less then one hour working as a prostitute. Ever since last night after Tom heard how Evie sounded when she was having sex, he wondered what it would be like to fuck her. He had already been thinking about her in this way, but hearing her just made his thoughts more erotic.

The morning seemed to pass slowly, but the afternoon came. It was time for the wake to start at the Connors's home. Tom & Evie drove over to the house which was in Mar Vista part of LA not far from where Evie lived in Marine Del Rey. The home was nice looking, a perfect home to raise children in. Many black & white police cars were already lined up and down the street that the Connors lived on. Tom pull the car up near to where the Connors driveway was. He & Evie left their car and headed inside. Linda was standing in the middle of the living room talking with Captain MacDonald and Evie's father Lt. Jack Taylor as well as Lt. Tamura. The two kids were being entertained by a number of uniformed police officers. Tom & Evie walked up and introduced themselves to Linda. They both expressed their great sorrow for Ed's death. Tom reached into his coat and pulled out the money that he had collected over the past two days. Linda slowly reached out taking this wad of cash. She was overwhelmed with how generous everyone had been. Linda lifted herself on and placed a kiss upon Tom's cheek, she then did the same to Evie.
 
Evie looked at Reed across the desk when he suggested that she must be good. And the fact that he had heard her when she was with Lewis hadn't escaped her memory but she really didn't want to have that conversation. "The money was upfront remember. That's not reflective of anything other than some guy's willingness to pay.... you don't think it's kinda weird putting into the Connor's fund do you? I just don't know what else to do with it?"

A few hours later they were pulling up outside the Connor's home. Both of them were dressed in their best uniforms; the service had been 'pleasant'; as pleasant as those things usually got. As was always the case,... well except when the cop had been dirty... the family got a full police funeral. Guns. Flag. Honour guard. Evie had been lucky in that despite the family connections and despite her years on the streets in uniform, she had not had to go to too many police funerals and she kind of hoped that it stayed that way.

She stepped into the house a few feet behind Reed, following him as he made his way through to the main house. She nodded silent hellos to a few people she knew, including Webb and Pierce who were both stood each holding a small bottle of beer. As she passed, Webb took hold of her arm, making her pause for a minute, and he leaned towards her.

"You know Cupcake, you could have worn that little black number you had on last night. I'm sure no-one would have minded." He spoke loud enough for Pierce to hear and the two of them chuckled quietly to themselves. Evie stared at them both and decided it really wasn't worth it; she knew that she had to take this kind of crap.

"Grow up."

"Ahhh come on... it's only a bit a fun." Pierce still spoke quietly. "And believe me... even on a cop's salary, I can afford it." Pierce was referring back to the comment she had made to the other police officer as she left the squad room the night before to go out on the street. Evie shook her head and smiled, but said nothing. She eased her arm out of Webb's grip and walked after her partner. As she walked away, Webb commented to Pierce about he'd never seen anyone look that good in a cop's uniform. But Evie didn't hear.

She caught up with Reed just as he turned around to introduce her to Connor's wife. After he had handed over the collection, and after Linda had given both of them a hug, Evie's father stepped to her side and put his hand around her waist and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.

"How are you doing kid?"

"I'm ok."

Jack held out his hand to Tom and then looked back at his daughter as he shook his former partner's hand. "Are you doing what this guy tells you to?" Evie shook her head a little in disbelief and grinned. Reed grinned back at his friend. "She's doing fine Jack."

"Look if you two have nothing better to talk about, then I'm going to get a drink." Smiling, she walked off towards the kitchen where quite a large group of cops had congregated.

"You know she has a smart mouth on her?" her father said purportedly to Reed, but in truth it was directed at his daughter. "And that usually gets her in trouble."

Evie smiled and turned around but kept heading towards the kitchen, walking backwards carefully. "Just like my old man then." She saw her Dad starting to grin and shake his head as she turned her back on both him and her partner, leaving them, she was sure, to critique her performance over the last seven days.
