<back at KSHQ, in the newly paralegal offices>
Danann was a bit lost, she had never ventured into that part of the KS HQ complex. This was the old building. Renovation had been done to the place. The first floor was still under renovation. It was the soon to open Gym. Passing near the big windows, Danann waved at Dicez who had numerous paint color palettes in her hands and all around her on the floor. " She should really get someone in or we’ll have to have an origami party to get rid of all those paint color palettes" thought Danaan. Pushing the door to the stairs, she climbed two flights of stairs and walked into a big open space. Soft earthy colors all around. Oak library shelves. And an Amazon Danaan had never met was filling the shelves with books.
"Hello, can I help you?" asked the amazon. Danaan smiled "Yes, I’m looking for the paralegal?"
"Oh, you’re at the right place. We just moved in. I’m Sabrina, research assistant. What can I do for you?"
"Well, I have a message from Chantal. She asked that you be on alert. Some Amazons went shopping with Sov and well..." started Danaan.
"And well, Chantal thinks there is going to be trouble, right?" Danaan turned to see who was talking to her. "Apollena?"
"Hello, Danaan. Nice of you to drop by. Welcome to our humble offices. I see you’ve met Sabrina, a most helpful and resourceful researcher and quiet as a mouse." Ap smiled at Sabrina who went back to unpacking legal documents.
"Apollena, I found that loop hole for the toys licenses you asked about yesterday…" Ann had walked in with a pencil in her mouth and a few computer print out in her hands.
"Oh and you know Ann already. She’s our legal clerk extraordinaire. So what has Chantal done now to ensure that the girls and Sov get into trouble. Not that they need help to get into trouble, they are very at that but if she wants us to be on alert, she must have set something up."
"All I know is she sent out for some BBQ chicken" Danaan said in her most innocent tone and she left chuckling.
Apollena was a bit frazzled but not discouraged . "BBQ chicken. Oh gods. She must be trying to get on Ares’ good side. If there is such a thing, which I doubt very much. Okay, Sabrina, we need to get ready. I want the fines for indecent exposure in a grocery store. I’m sure that is almost a certainty. I mean this is Sov we are talking about." Ap laughed.
Sabrina nodded and went to her desk, logged on and started her research. "I’ll also check who’s on the bench in municipal court today, it will help to know who you’ll face."
"Good idea. Ann, can you get me some previous cases involving temporary insanity and grocery store. I will definitely need it." Ap was now at her desk and she was preparing for the battle ahead. "If all fails I’ll get GHerk to intervene" Ap whispered to herself. "But only after they spend some time in the jail. Going shopping without me. The Queen." Ap was now smiling. A very big smile.
<At the grocery store>
Sov and his Amazons nannies after heating up the produce section needed to cool down. Especially Freya, who still had cantaloupe juice on her chin and cheeks. Sov was still licking his lips and had mischief written all over his face. Bending down to nibble on Freya’s ear, he whispered "Who know cantaloupe was so … stinky."
"I need something cool. Now." whispered Freya. Sov laughed. "Well, let’s see if we can find something so cool down. I thing something cold, sweet and …" Sov let his eyes wander and he noticed Becky’s glazed eyes. He edged close to her. "Yes… something cold, sweet and… moist…" Sov took Becky’s lips without warning, crushing her in his arms. He started to kiss her savagely.
"Okay, I really, really need ice. Right now" cried Melite. She started to walk towards the frozen section, Freya right behind her. Both opened the ice cream doors in sync. "Okay, how many gallons of ice cream Star said we needed?" asked Melite in a weak voice.
"I don’t care. All I want is to move into the fridge for an hour" replied Freya as she started to pull out the ice cream out of the fridge.
"But I wanted to go thru the detergent aisle. I wanted to get some new and improved Tide. Do you know how hard it is to get chocolate syrup out of silk sheets?" mumbled Star.
Turning she saw Sov pulling a limp Becky from him and releasing her. Becky fell slowly to the floor where she sat with a space out look. "Oh, yeah this is going to be fun" said Sov.
Looking around he noticed Star holding the cart very tightly. So tight her knuckles were white. "Oh, Star my sweet, you really need to relax and enjoy our little shopping adventure." Sov started to move towards her. Prowling, stalking. Bystanders had started to stop their shopping and were enjoying the show. Woman were ogling the tall, black leather man and looked envious of the lucky ones accompanying him.

<At the other end of the grocery store>
Voluptua and Deeva had been a bit surprise by the request of Chantal. She wanted BBQ chicken on the grill. So they were off to buy boneless chicken breasts, BBQ sauce, frozen French fries. Everything that was needed to have a BBQ. Chantal had insisted they take SHerk with them for protection. "You never know what could happen out there." Chantal had said. So Voluptua and Deeva were filling up their grocery cart and kept an eye and SHerk at the same time. SHerk was pushing his own cart. He had wanted one after seeing the children with their mini cart. SHerk was having a ball. Debbie had tagged along for the ride and she had taken upon herself to keep SHerk out of trouble. Easier said then done but Debbie was right out of her special uncover training (oups… that slipped out ignore that part, please. Note of the author <g>) she thought she could handle anything. She was wrong.
First SHerk started a race with the children in the bakery section. Then distracted by the smell of fresh bread, he suddenly stopped. The children chasing him bumped right into his back. Soon there was tears and sobs and quite a few angry moms. Not to mention an irate chicken. Discord had become SHerk favorite pet and he seldom went anywhere without her. She had been put into his care (I wonder who did that <eg> Note of the author) and SHerk took his responsibilities very seriously. So when Voluptua and Deeva arrived at the crash site <g>, they both looked at one another and Deeva said "I’ll handle this, I have experienced in that kind of things. Voluptua, you take SHerk and Debbie to the meat section. Okay gang, who wants ice cream?" The tears and sobs stopped instantly and Deeva had the attention of numerous pairs of eyes. "Ice cream? Can I have chocolate ice cream? Please, I’ll be good." SHerk was now making puppy eyes at Debbie and Voluptua.
Voluptua felt her heart sink. "Oh, all right you go with Debbie and have some ice cream but you leave your cart here. With me."
"But I don’t go anywhere without Discord" SHerk was now pouting.
Voluptua had to shake the urge to kiss those pouty lips. "No, you leave Discord here with me or you don’t get any ice cream." SHerk saw the flicker of indecision in Voluptua’s eyes so he got close to her. "Please, I’ll make it up to you. I’ll bring you back some ice cream and we can share." Voluptua’s resolve crumbled. She could never resist the combination of SHerk and ice cream. Last time, it had cost her her brand new green satin sheet but it had been worth it. "Oh, okay take her but play nice. Debbie, it’s on your head. Keep him out of trouble."
Debbie nodded but she was not to sure about this. Not sure at all.
Can anyone say collision course?
