Rescuing Christmas by Jason Nichols Read Free Book Online

looked around as the rest of the men and women all nodded and said, “Now, how can we help you? We are here after all to help you with manpower so you can catch these people. But I thought it was three people. Did you guys already get one?”
    Chris nodded and moved straight into Sheriff mode. “Yes, we got Kelly Haskell, the sister to Tyson Haskell and daughter to Marge Turner. She didn’t go quietly and is now in the morgue.”
    Chris took a deep breath and said, “Okay, let's start at the beginning. I'm Sheriff Chris Anderson, just call me Chris please. Now, I want two and three man teams out patrolling, searching and questioning people. I want no stone in this town left unturned. The pictures of our targets are in boxes over there on the counter at the front. Be careful out there though, they are armed and dangerous.
    Jamie tuned him and everything out as he decided to just doze off and wait.
    Finally, Chris shook him awake and said, “Okay hon, let’s get out of here. I am going to take you home and get you settled in. I need to get out there and help find these two before anything else happens. I will leave you with an officer and another bodyguard. I want to be there with you, but as I just arrested their CO, I have several things I need to handle.”
    Jamie nodded and stood up stretching. When he looked around he saw that the station was mostly empty as the officers had all left to go start their manhunt. Only a few remained behind and one of them approached him and held out his hand.
    Jamie shook his hand and the man said, “Hey Jamie. I am Officer Gerald Carmichael, just call me Gerry though. I am going to be with you and your new bodyguard at the Sheriff’s house for now. We will be taking it in turns guarding you until we catch Tyson and Marge.”
    Jamie smiled and said, “Thank you Gerry. I really appreciate all of this, and please forgive me for my earlier words and actions. I am about at the end of my rope here.”
    Gerry shrugged and said, “No need. He had it coming and I already called the Chief. He has been fired and is being held in custody and will be remanded back home to stand trial for assault and battery. He won’t serve time most likely, but he will be in a lot of trouble.”
    Chris slipped his hand into Jamie’s and together the two walked out of the precinct followed closely by Gerry. They climbed into two separate vehicles and drove to a small one-bedroom house on the outskirts of town. When they pulled up Jamie laughed. In fact, he was so tired and stressed it took him several minutes to get his near hysterical laughter under control.
    Finally, he calmed down enough to answer the questioning looks on Chris and Gerry’s faces as they stood in the small front yard. “This is my house. I own it. I didn’t know it was you I had rented it to.” He turned to face Chris and said, “Good grief. We really need to get your stuff moved into my place.”
    Chris shrugged and said, “Not today and not until we catch Marge and Tyson.”
    Gerry said, “Wait a minute, I thought you said he was your husband?”
    Chris laughed and said, “Well he isn’t. The whole story is very long and sordid. I am sure Jamie can fill you in on all the details once you are inside and safe.”
    Chris stopped fiddling with the keys in his hand when Jamie used a Master Key to open the lock and smirked at him. Chris grumbled under his breath, “Ass.”
    Jamie only stuck his tongue out at him as he moved inside the small house. He stopped and looked around until his eyes fell on the new bodyguard sitting on the sofa watching TV. The man jumped to his feet when they walked inside. Other than the TV on the wall and the sofa pushed back against the opposite wall, the only other things in the living room were boxes. He could see the tiny kitchen and noticed fast food bags all over the counter. He shook his head and said, “Chris love, this will not do.”
    Chris smacked him on the back of the head and pulled him
