Petey had safely snapped down the covering of the pontoon boat. They had docked about an hour earlier. The morning’s excursion had been a great time for all the women. Taylor had taken Dory and Rachel back up to their camper in her golf cart; then Taylor had to head back up to the Lodge to do some prep work for the evening’s menu. But she promised to meet up with Petey in about three hours and they would cruise the park. A quick check of the pontoon boat to make sure everything was secure and Petey was in the Mule and heading toward the office. She had some receipts for Nell and always welcomed a chance to stop the headquarters of Labinky Park. After parking the Mule in one of the many slots reserved for UTV’s and golf carts that lined the side of the rambling log building, she waved at the Security guard on duty and walked up the flag-stoned steps and into the foyer of the office vestibule. There were two secretaries waiting on residents and as soon as Petey walked in, they stopped and smiled and Petey flashed them her trademark dazzling smile. It never failed to leave the secretaries blushing and then fumbling as they tried to remember where they were before Petey stepped through the door. Petey just shook her head and headed past the swinging half door that divided the office area and headed back toward Nell’s office. She poked her head in, but Nell was no where to be seen, so Petey headed in the next logical direction, which was Jesse’s office. And sure enough, there was Nell, Jesse and Terri. The women looked relaxed and were laughing about something when Petey stuck her head in and grinned. “So…here you are….” Petey nodded toward Nell. “Were you looking for little ole me?” Nell’s soft southern drawl was like warm dripping honey to Petey’s ears. “God….I love to hear you talk….” Petey smiled as she walked in and pulled up a chair and join the group. “And I love that New England accent of yours” Nell smiled as watched Petey join the group. “I’ve got some receipts for the dock repairs for you...” and Petey handed over the purple pocket folder she had with the receipts safely tucked inside. “Ahh….just what we needed this morning…more work...” Jesse chuckled good- naturedly. It was then that Sean the Security Guard knocked on the door to Jesse’s office and behind him was a tall West Virginia State Trooper. “Jesse…this officer needs to speak with you.” Sean said nervously. “What can I do for you officer?” Jesse smiled at the patrolman. “I need to see some Identification ma’am” the patrolman said in a matter-of-fact tone. Jesse reached for her wallet that was lying on the desk and handed the officer her license. She shrugged her shoulders at Terri who shot her a ‘what-the-fuck’ look. “Ma’am I need you to come with me.” The officer instructed as he handed her back her license. “What for?” Jesse asked in total surprise. “No fuckin’ way…” Terri growled as she got to her feet. The State police man eyed the women in the room carefully. “We are taking you into protective custody and transporting you to the emergency room for observation.” The patrolman stated carefully. “No way…” Nell gasped and grabbed Jesse’s hand that was now visibly shaking. “Ladies….” The patrolman stood his ground and waited for Jesse to move toward the door. “we have an order to pick up Jesse Martin and transport her to the emergency room.... Ma’am I am here to pick you up and transport you. Now we can do this the easy way, or we can do the hard way. My orders are clear.” Jesse looked at Terri and saw her reaction and knew that if she did not cooperate there would be hell to pay. Terri was not going to back down easily. “Baby….it’s ok….” Jesse’s voice quavered. “No it’s not! This is that Cunt’s doing!” Terri started to stand between Jesse and the State Policeman. “No…..Baby….it will be ok….” Jesse tried to smile but she knew that this was the beginning of something very bad. “This isn’t right!” Terri cried out and Petey grabbed Terri and held her back as Jesse headed to the door. “I….love you….” Jesse looked back before she went through the door and she blew a kiss toward Terri. The security guard, State Trooper and Jesse headed out of the Lodge and for one brief moment, Jesse was tempted to run. But the officer sensed that she was about to flee and grabbed her just above her elbow and escorted her to his unit that was sitting beside the guard shack. Although she was trembling Jesse was holding her own, the Trooper was mumbling into his radio then he opened the back door and guided Jesse into the back seat. Jesse just kept taking deep breaths and tried to blink back the tears that threatened to spill over. “This is fuckin’ whacked.” She heard Terri’s voice just beyond the patrol car. It was all Petey could do to keep Terri from attacking the cop. She struggled to keep her boss from making the situation worse, she literally had Terri in a bear hug keeping her as far away from the Trooper as she possibly could. “Ma’am I need you to extend your wrists…” the officer spoke in an almost gentle voice. Jesse looked up pleadingly and really began to shake. “Ma’am it’s procedure…” he assured her. “NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!” Terri’s voice screamed as she watched the patrolman slide the hand cuffs on Jesse and heard the distinctive clicks as they tightened on her wrists. But Jesse no longer heard her, she could not hear anyone now……. Click On The River To Continue To Chapter 61 Labinky Park 2008 Labinky Park Enterprises 2008 Check Out River's Designs!
