The Prince's Narc

Chapter 6

Jud walked into the station ahead of schedule. He clocked in and sat at his desk. It gave him just a few moments to collect himself.

His team wouldn't be in tonight. The chief had denied their request to work overnight with him. He understood the man's reasoning. Jud was covering four nights for a man who had just had a baby. Thursday night was his last night. He would have the weekend off and then his normal schedule would be back.

That wasn't his only reason. Narcotics was constantly getting new information about their operations. If a deal was going down, they had to be ready to bust it. Jud's team was one of the best and they had the most confidential informants. If they were out of commission anything could happen. The chief didn't want all of Team 6 unavailable.

Jud was in an interesting position. Not only was he the captain of the team, but he was also dating a mafia prince whose family was being investigated for drug smuggling and distribution. The only one who knew anything about it in the whole station was Myka, though he didn't tell her. She just figured it out. It was a relief, but it also meant she would be his voice of reason should anything go pear shaped.

Speaking of pear shaped, this whole night had gone wonky. His body was relaxed several hours ago. He'd spent himself with Luke, enjoying the entanglement of their bodies. Most importantly he'd loved being close to him once again. He'd thought he was going to have a quiet night at work with hopefully very few distractions.

Well, that had gone down the drain with the phone call thirty minutes ago. He didn't usually lose his mind when he talked to his lovers' parents. In fact most of them loved him. He had only met a handful of parents when he thought his relationship was going to go further than it did, but he had never given them a reason to doubt him. At the time when he'd met them, he'd been on active military duty. They'd welcome him home from deployment, but once he was home the relationship never lasted.

His relationship with Luke had been going on for four years. Luke hadn't gotten tired of him. He kept coming over and doing things with him despite knowing who he was and what he could do. He hadn't cared and he still didn't. As long as their jobs didn't cross paths, they were happy.

Now... now he was meeting the father of the man he cared for above all others. Amos Meyers was a name most people didn't like to utter. From what Jud knew about him, he was a decent man despite being a mafia boss. His businesses had always seemed to be on the right side of the law, and he tried to keep his men that way. The only thing going against him was the territory rivalry with the South Bay Saints and the rumors he had a gun pipeline with the Irish in New York. He was a real-life Sons of Anarchy.

No one had managed to tie him to the Irish pipeline, but the rivalry with South Bay was legendary. The last two leaders of the rival gangs had killed each other, and their sons had taken over. While Amos had started legitimizing his businesses, Colin Wayne hadn't done that. He was still in the drug business and was looking for new territory to branch out into.

If Luke had been telling the truth, and Jud had no reason not to believe him, then Amos had no inclination to start running drugs. All the drugs their informant had seen had been staged. For the first time in his career, Jud hoped to everything anyone ever believed in that this was only a rumor. He did not want to have to arrest his lover's father or his lover.

"Captain?" He looked up at the gentle voice that called his name. "You have a visitor."

Jud looked past the woman. Dressed impeccably in a pinstripe Armani suit, Amos Meyers and his left hand man Lou Rayes stood just inside the doorway. They looked out of place in the extremely casual overnight station. Jud was wearing a button up and jeans simply because he hated dress pants. As long as it was business casual, he was able to get away with it.
