that
guy to not even talk back, he’s three of her.”
    Jack laughs. “It’s very good, I’ve never had
anything here I didn’t like. Shannon is something else though. I’ve
never seen anybody talk back to her.”
    “She seems to like you.” I tease him and he
shakes his head.
    “No way, she’s a baby and I don’t doubt even
though I have more years on her she’d teach me things that would
make my head explode.”
    “Really? You seemed pretty knowledgeable to
me.” I dare to taunt him.
    His eyes darken, “No worries, Abby, I know
plenty to keep you satisfied.”
    Our waitress arrives, saving me from my
stupidity. She’s another hipster, her jeans so tight I can’t help
but wonder how she could breathe let alone walk. She wore a plain
white men’s tank undershirt with librarian glasses and short black
hair below a knitted cap.
    “Sergeant Morgan, it’s nice of you to visit
just because you like us. What can I get for you two today?”
    He looks to me and I order the biscuits and
gravy and an orange juice. He orders a Denver omelette, orange
juice and coffee. The waitress promises our drinks in a few minutes
and is gone.
    “So, how long have you been a cop?”
    “Since right out of college, eight years now,
since I was working almost full time it took a while to
graduate.”
    “I forget, how old are you?”
    “Thirty two, just a few months ago. You know
you never told me how old you are.”
    “I’m twenty seven.”
    “So why don’t you like cops again?”
    “Before I answer that you have to tell me how
it is you never once mentioned you were a cop. You talked about
coworkers and dealing with assholes but nothing you said ever
hinted at you being a cop.”
    “You’re right and it wasn’t by chance, I’m
sorry. Especially, considering just how much it means to you. I
guess for the longest time it’s always been something I hold back
until I feel comfortable or the person feels comfortable enough
with me. With you, I always felt you holding a part of yourself
back and that you were skittish and I didn’t want to scare you
away. There are many people, not just you who have a preconceived
picture in their head and most people, they think cops are dicks.
Yes, there are other officers I’ve seen who get off on the power
trip of their badge and I’ve seen some do things I wish I hadn’t.
So, I can’t say I blame people for the way they think. For me
though, that’s not who I am and I would expect people to get that.
But for them to feel like they can’t be real with me because I’ll
arrest for something stupid, I still can’t understand that.
    Then there are some women out there who like
the uniform and get off on it. For them, it could be any guy and
they’re all over him.
    So yeah, it wasn’t by accident and that
wasn’t really fair. Again, I’m sorry for holding back on you. I
won’t say I regret it because then we wouldn’t be here now. You
would have heard it and ran and I might not have been able to catch
you.”
    His eyes are soft and since he’s right and I
feel the same way, I give him a smile to let him know it’s okay.
The look of relief on his face makes me feel better. “When I first
moved to Austin I had a roommate and she was dating a cop. He was
very controlling, he didn’t want to live with her, he needed his
own space. Yet, he had a say over who she lived with. I hadn’t
changed my name yet and he figured a Senator’s daughter was safe.
He was the one who set the no man in the apartment rule and warned
me if I was going to be one of those sixth street crawlers I would
be out on my ass. He was there a lot and he told her what she could
and couldn’t eat, told her when he thought she was getting fat and
what she could wear. He didn’t want her wearing make up unless they
went out together. It made me ill.
    Then there’s Claire, I know I complained once
about her to you. Her boyfriend’s also a cop and an asshole,
controlling and manipulative. It’s weird,
