for a man that couldn’t get Jasmine’s fat little
arm into her sleeve.
    Jack lowered his head and erupted
into a fit of laughter, finally conceding. The seven pound little person had
defeated him. “Oh, God. She’s gonna be as stubborn as her mother.”
    Victoria laughed and took over the
task of dressing their little one.
    “You’ll be a pro at this in no time
baby,” she reassured.
    “Um hmm. Little diva,” he mumbled.
    Victoria successfully dressed Jasmine
and swaddled her in a blanket. She looked over at Jack, who was shaking his
head.
    “You and that little girl are gonna
be ganging up on me from now on.”
    Victoria smiled, walked over to Jack,
and placed a nicely wrapped Jasmine in his arms. She hugged the nurses that
took such good care of her and her baby and said her goodbyes. She took her
seat in the wheelchair that was to be navigated by an orderly and thanked God
that she was going home with a healthy baby. Jack kneeled in front of her and
placed his hand on her thighs.
    He stared at her for a few seconds
before saying, “Thank you. You have given me life, literally. I love you,
Victoria.”
    Victoria, with eyes filled with
moisture, nodded. “I love you too, baby.”
    Jack stood and removed himself from
the path of her wheelchair and the Storm family headed home.
     

NATASHA
     
    Natasha walked into roll call and took her seat, thanking God
that it was Friday. She had the weekend off and it had been a trying week.
Truth be told, this prostitution shit was not for her. This was Victoria’s
expertise. Buying dope is different. It didn’t require that much conversation.
    “Gimme two,” is the most that she’d ever have to say.
Prostitution was definitely a different experience for Natasha. She’d been
pretty shy her whole life, but working in Prostitution required her to actually
talk to people; make them want her. She simply was not the seductress that
Victoria was. But, since she’d been kicked out of her unit, she had no other
choice. At least she inherited Victoria’s former partner. Steve didn’t talk
much, but he was dedicated to keeping her alive. And, even though he was in a
committed relationship, he wasn’t bad on the eyes.
    Natasha didn’t want to complain too
much, she was already considered a “trouble maker,” or a “rat,” When she got to
Vice, the first thing that the commander of Vice said to her was, “Don’t shake
the tree.” It was simple; she was to just go along with whatever she was told
to do and not to make any waves. And so far, other than the unauthorized rescue
of Victoria, Natasha had followed her orders to the letter.
    Natasha was yanked back into the here
and now when her sergeant tossed something into her lap. It was a black elastic
ribbon of some sort. Natasha picked up the oversized rubber–band and studied
it, wondering why the hell her Sergeant tossed it to her.
    “What’s this?” She was obviously
confused.
    “It’s called a slingshot. It’s your
uniform for tonight,” he answered with a chuckle that sounded almost demonic.
    Natasha grimaced and held the rubbery
piece of fabric up and inspected it. It was a fucking rubber band!
    She looked up at her Sergeant, who
was wearing a sickening grin, and wondered if she was being punked. “What?! Why
the fuck would I wear this shit?!”
    “Shy Natasha” had left the building.
There was no way a black rubber band was going to be her uniform of the day.
    Sergeant Banner ignored her outburst
and continued. “Officer Walker, You’re gonna be infiltrating a lockdown.
    Natasha’s face reflected a clear lack
of comprehension to what the sergeant was saying. She simply couldn’t get over
the black rubber band that he tossed into her lap.
    He’s actually serious , she concluded, in her mind.
    Natasha was shocked into silence. She
had absolutely no idea what a lock–down was, but she could care less because
there was no way she was wearing that bullshit that he tossed in her lap.
    As if reading her
