Episode 4

Warren

I'm still looking at the woman who's walking briskly, she seems oblivious to everything and everyone, now wearing sneakers and jeans that I'm sure have been through many washes, even from afar you can see how faded they are. And why the hell am I still staring at her?

"You don't understand because you're just a kid, I can't use my badge to solve this kind of situation, my job could put you at risk, so neither the people at my work know about you nor about anything in my life," I warn and she crosses her arms pouting, ah that's how she gets things from the jerk father, because Nadine has a firm pulse and doesn't let herself be blackmailed by this little person. I get into the driver's seat, put on my seatbelt and start the car - "Don't even try pouting, you're still a child, and there are certain matters that only adults can resolve."

"Look, it's Princess Diana," she says, widening her eyes, not paying much attention to my explanation, she starts tapping on the car window, that was all I needed, unfortunately the way the lady was going was the same as mine, the return was just ahead.

"Stop banging on the car window, you're a well-behaved child," I say, still driving and stopping at the light ahead.

"Can we offer her a ride?" she asks and looks back still trying to look at the lady - "Is she sad? Why is she sad?"

This is why I don't live with children, too many questions and too many whys, they don't know how to just obey, they always have to question. And on top of it all, there's the tantrums. I rub my eyes hating Dylan at this moment and roll down the window as the woman passes by my side.

"Get in the car," I ask impatiently, I have to escort the transfer of an inmate in an hour and I don't have much time for messing around.

"I don't have anything of value but you can take my purse, just don't kill me please," she says with her hands up and I frown and almost laugh when I understand the situation, at least she's well trained not to react.

"I'm not going to kidnap, kill or rob you," I warn and she slowly opens her honey-brown eyes and then recognition crosses her face, another thing she does that doesn't go unnoticed by me is she licks her lips as if they were dry and then bites them.

"Princess Diana," Flora starts calling from the back seat and the woman looks at her with the most beautiful damn smile I've ever seen in my life. The instant her eyes meet the ladybug in the back seat, they light up as if losing her job hadn't fazed her, her smile brightens in a genuine way - "Come with us."

"I don't want to bother you, sir," she says to me looking into my eyes then lowers her head, the way the 'sir' came out of her lips sent an alert to my dick that instinctively perked up, but I quickly ignored it.

"Let's do this, I'm late and the longer we stay in this game of me commanding and you pretending you don't want to obey will only make me later and we won't get anywhere with that," I inquire showing my impatience, like I said, I hate games and I hate even more not being obeyed - "so get in and put your address in my GPS."

She looks back as if to object, but when her gaze meets mine I notice how furious she is, but she's too kind and even more docile to object, especially when Flora starts asking her to come in and the cars behind start honking frantically.

I wanted her to say no, I wanted her to open her mouth and impose her will, but she doesn't, she lowers her head and agrees, going around the car and sitting next to Flora as if I were their driver, that was all I needed.

When I look at her she looks at me and I see a glimmer of a smile as if she were urging me to challenge her, as if she wanted to see me order her to my side, but like I said, I hate games, so I just ask for the address and see that she lives far away, in the Bronx, in an area not too dangerous, but also terrible to live in and raise a child.

"We're going to stop by Flora's house first and leave her there safe," I warn and she rolls her eyes knowing my hint. She had the guts to roll her eyes at me.

Besides messing with me and my instincts she's brave and seems to have a tendency to want to challenge me. I can't wait to drop her off at her address so I never have to see her again.
