Nothing But Trouble

Chapter 7

Faiths POV
I checked my outfit one last time in my mirror. I had on short distressed cut offs, a cropped Harley Davidson shirt, and my hair was perfectly curled. I pulled on my favorite tall boots and went outside to get something out of my car. The boys were tuning up my engine and Luke whistled as he looked up at me. "What's the occasion for this treat?"
I laughed "well today I'm going to bust Frank and Jesse and their illegal gun ring."
"Great me and Bo's almost done so we can help you out."
I opened the trunk of my car and reached inside of it getting my holster out. "Nah boys I think I've got everything under control."
Bo eyed my gun belt as I put it around my waist "Faith don't you think using a gun is a little too much?"
"Not when you know what these boys are capable of. "
"Exactly that's why I want to go with you. I don't want to see you get hurt."
"Well then you better not cus thats basically a guarantee if things don't go right. No if you boys can excuse me, I need to pay a little visit to Boss."
I strutted over to Luke watching his eyes scan my body and pulled him in for a quick kiss knowing I'm making him want more. "Bye now"
I started my engine liking the sound of its new tune up and sped out of the Duke farm like a bat outta hell. Looking in the rear view I saw Luke punch the hood of the general and shaking his head. I shook my head and focused on my plan.
I busted through the courthouse running into Enos again.
"Hi ya Faith you looking for boss?"
"Yeah where is he?"
"He's eating in his office. I wouldn't bother him-"
"I swear that man don't ever stop eating for one minute" I mumbled as I opened the door to his office catching him scarfing down a rack of ribs.
"What the hell are you do here disturbing my meal?!"
"Just making sure we still have a deal."
"What yeah of course we do now leave me alone."
"I don't know sounds to me like you might want to get an in with Frank and Jesse to profit off of their black market scheme."
"What who told you??"
"No one I just made it up but since you admitted it the deals off you can kiss that reward money goodbye."
"What no no no I ain't planning anything."
Just like on purpose the phone rang and boss answered it quicker than a hound on a squirrel. He tried to sound innocent but I knew exactly who was on the line.
"Boss give me the phone."
"What no it's my fat wife Lulu."
"No it ain't boss hand it over and I'll get you a cut of the black market profits. 60-40."
He shook his head a little confused so I grabbed the phone out of his hand. And pushed him out of the office.
"Hi babe."
"Faith what the hell?"
"What do you mean I'm trying to help you."
"Oh shut up I'm trying to make money here."
"Sugar I'm just stopping you from getting arrested. I got that little fat boss here to think he's getting some money out of your sale and he's not gonna interfere at all."
"What do you mean like no cops?"
"Yep no cops at all. These guys just fall for anything I tell them."
"So what does this mean what do I have to do for you?"
"Nothing babe I just want you back."
"You done with that hick from the bar?"
"Babe you know I like to have some fun. So when can I see you."
"We got a huge buyer coming tonight and I'm gonna need your help convincing him about some of the prices... Think you can handle it."
"If course I can."
He told me where they were hiding out and i hung up the phone. I walked out of the courthouse smiling to myself. This couldn't have been easier.

I drove back to the Duke farm where Bo and Luke were outside messin around under the generals hood. "Hey boys."
"Back so soon?" Bo asked.
"Nahh i just ran to the courthouse to deal with some unfinished business. I'll be leaving again a little later."
"Look I know you want to do this yourself but I don't think you should." Luke said.
"Luke I'll be fine. I have everything under control."
"Do you what if something goes what and you get hurt. What's gonna happen then?"
"Nothing cus it's not gonna be like that."
"How are you so sure? Do you even know what you are doing?"
"Of course I do. Those boys won't even know what hit them."
"Isn't Jesse still pissed at you since you broke up?"
"Oh no Bo he's fine. I got him all under control too."
"And how's that?"
"I convinced him to take me back."
"YOU DID WHAT!?"
"Calm down Luke it's not a big deal."
"What about use is not a big deal either? Is this all a joke to you?"
"No Luke you've got it all wrong. Just trust me okay. " I said as I pushed Luke against the general kissing him. I felt him relax and give in.  I deepened the kiss showing him I was in control unbuttoning his short and pulling him closer. His hands slid into my back pockets enjoying this. I could feel him wanting more so I pulled away smiling "I trust you. Just promise me you'll be okay."
"I will."
