The Specialist and I

38

XD I had to. ^^

Someone knocked on the door and mom opened it. I could tell because of her voice.

"Why are the police here?", mom asked.

"Sarah, who's at the door?", dad asked.

I opened my door a little so I could hear the police.

"Is Miss Lori Lennox home?", the officer asked.

"Lori!", mom yelled, "You have visitors!"

I opened the door and walked downstairs with Bullet by my side. I walked to the front door and heard Bullet growling at Dad. Bullet sat down next to me.

"Miss Lennox, we found the items that were stolen from you and your boyfriend. We've come to return them.", the officer said and handed me the watches, the necklace, and Ron's jacket.

"Thank you.", I said, "This means a lot to us."

"Have a good rest of your day, miss.", the officer said and left.

I glared at Dad. I still can't believe that he told Ron to leave. Of course, dad knows about Ron and I.

"Bullet, come.", I said and walked to the garage.

I opened the driverside door and Bullet hopped in. He walked over to the passenger side and sat down. I got in and closed the door. I draped Ron's jacket over the passenger seat and put my watches and necklace on. I opened the garage door and drove out after turning the truck on.

I pulled into a parking spot at the park. I grabbed a tennis ball and Bullet hopped out of my truck. I closed the door and walked to the park. Bullet walked alongside me. I looked carefully at his body language. His head was hung down and his ears were droopy. His tail curled underneath of him.

"Bullet!", someone yelled.

A little girl no older than Annabel ran over. Her mom followed her. Behind the mother, an Aussie shepherd was running after her. The little girl giggled as she pet and hugged Bullet. My phone rang. I growled and took it out.

"Hello?", I answer.

"Lori, where are you? Lennox called me. He's worried about you.", Orion said.

"I'm out running errands. I took Bullet with me.", I answered, "He won't stop whining."

"Would you be willing to meet me somewhere?", Orion asked.

"Yeah. Where do you want to meet?", I asked.

"The waterfall Ron used to take you to.", Orion answered.

"I haven't been there in a while. I don't like going there without him.", I said.

"I know. I have a surprise for you. It'd be easier to give in person rather than sending it to you. Especially since your father has you being followed.", Orion said.

I looked around and spotted someone wearing black. He had a camera on him and was talking to someone on the phone.

"Okay. I'll do what I can to meet you there.", I said and hung up, "Bullet, let's go. Orion wants to see us."

Immediately, Bullet ran toward the truck. I opened the door and we both got in. I spotted the man wearing black go to his car. I got out and walked over to him. He got out of his car. I punched him and watched as he fell unconscious. I returned to my truck and left.

"HA! Fucking idiot.", I muttered.

I made it to the waterfall and spotted Orion's semi and Rhyan's ambulance. I got out and Bullet hopped out after me. I smiled sadly as I smelt gas and Energon mixed with a little cologne. Ron's signature smell.

"How are you?", Orion asked as he hugged me.

"I could be better. A lot better.", I said as I returned the hug.

"Hello, Lori.", Rhyan said and hugged me when Orion let go.

"Hi, Rhyan.", I said and returned his hug as well.

"Is it alright if I check your health before Orion shows you his surprise for you?", Rhyan asked, I nodded and sat in his ambulance.

Bullet sat beside Orion as Rhyan checked me over. A few minutes later, Rhyan gave me the all clear. I jumped when I heard someone's fist collide with metal.

"Primus, Orion.", Rhyan said and we left the back of the ambulance, "Orion!"

"That hurt.", Orion muttered.

"Of course it did you fragger! You know that won't shut him up!", Rhyan said, "Come here."

Rhyan patched up Orion's hand and took the good-sized dent out of the passenger side door.

"Now that that's taken care of...", Orion started, "Your surprise. Come on out."

The passenger side door of Orion's semi opened and someone stepped out.

"Did you really have to drag me out here and do that?", a familiar gruff voice asked, "Why'd you drag me out here anyway?"

"Ron?", I asked and he turned toward me.

"Lori?", Ron asked.

I ran over to him and hugged him. Bullet ran over, his tail wagging so fast you could hardly see it. Tears came to my eyes once I realized that this was real. Ron hugged me back. I pulled back from the hug and Bullet came over to greet Ron. I smiled as he licked Ron's face.

"Ah! Bullet!", Ron yelled and gently pushed Bullet off him, "Gross!"

"He missed you so much he french kissed you.", I laughed, "He wouldn't stop whining. He'd lay on your side of the bed and whine, stare at where your shoes used to be and whine. I think he needs a friend while you're gone."

"You're going to adopt another dog?", Ron asked.

"We'll see.", I said.

An hour later, they had to leave. Ron and I hugged once more. I wasn't expecting it, but Ron kissed me. I, of course, returned the kiss. Bullet said goodbye to everyone. I hugged Orion and Rhyan. The four of us left at the same time.
