a while.”
Ma c looked at her window out of the corner of her eye. He was still there . “And the reason he is currently trying to make sweet love to the patrol car is...?”
Gabe grinned. “He’s not keen on cops. He was a hippy, he used to go to sit-ins and protests, he was arrested over a dozen times. He likes to piss us off.”
“It’s working.” She said sourly. “You know, I’ll admit my experience of naked men is... kind of limited, but are those testicles... normal?”
Gabe chuckled. “No, definitely no. They’re a hell of a lot bigger than normal, Winston’s actually pretty proud of that.”
“Yeah, I can sure see why he would be...”
“So...?”
Mac breathed a sigh of relief when Winston finally moved away from her window. Instead he moved to sit on the hood of the car, smooshing his naked butt all over it. He turned his head back to them, a look of triumph on his face. “So what?”
“So... go get him.”
Mac blinked at him a few times. “You want me to go arrest that gross naked old guy?”
“Yep, right of passage for all rookie s. Besides we all take turns, and you’re up. And FYI he’s a bull shifter.”
Crap! Double crap! “A bull shifter?! I had no idea there was one in Rose...” They were notorious for being hard bastards!
Mac inhaled and exhaled deeply. Courage little wolf, he’s just an old man, it’s no big deal. You see naked men all the time. You never usually have to tackle them though...
Gingerly she stepped out the car and shut the door. She fingered her handcuffs as she slowly moved towards the front of the car. Winston was still sat on the hood.
“Hi Winston.” Try not to spook him.
He looked at her, mischief written all over his face. “Hello dear... I don’t think I’ve ever been arrested by you before.”
Mac inched towards him. “No, I’m new. My name’s Mac, it’s nice to meet you.”
“Ahhh, the Alpha’s sister. It’s nice to meet you too little wolf. I’ve never been arrested by a female cop, I’m looking forward to this.”
“Well that makes one of us. Any chance you’ll just get in the back of my car without a struggle?”
Winston chortled throatily. “No.”
He stood up and began strolling up the street with a speed and gait that belied his age. Damn he was fast! Her wolf started prancing around, the idea of any kind of chase thrilled her.
Mac ran to the back of the car and pulled out a blanket and chased after him. Thankfully he was in no hurry, much to the consternation of the other house owners he kept bending down to pick flowers out of gardens. They could live with losing the flowers, it was just the hideous sight of him bending down that bothered them.
A few house owners had already retreated from their gardens to the inside of their house. Although Winston did this on a regular basis it wasn’t really something they could get used to.
Mac strode after him purposefully. She was going to wrap him up and then cuff him. Easy peasy .
Except he saw her coming and started running. He was a bull, so even at 79 he was fast. Mac sped up to catch him. She almost had him but he dodged her. He flitted all over the street with her flailing after him.
Gabe had gotten out of the car and was leaning against it , the non-penis daubed side, watching them with interest .
“You could help you know!” She yelled at him.
“You look like you’ve got it under control.” He called back gleefully.
She groaned as the old man once again wriggled out of his grasp. She felt the hair on the back of her neck stand up, and her wolf was yapping like a puppy. No time for that now, she had a naked old guy to wrangle.
Every time he got away it only made her more determined to catch him. She would not be defeated by an old bull shifter!
She feinted right so he moved left and so did she. She had him. She smothered the blanket over him and
