Change of Law and Heart

Chapter 2: This ain't your Normal Jazz

Chapters will be coming out somewhat on a weekly bases, though no promises. At the moment, I have the book nearly completed and just need to publish it. Also, there's a bit of cussing in here as well. But later it slows down more.

'Beep beep beep be-' my hand hits the snooze button on top of the alarm clock on my nightstand next to my bed. Another annoying beeping noise starts from my dresser on the other side of my room and I groan, placing my pillow over my head for having to get up at six o'clock in the morning.

Kodiak gets off of my legs and moves to my upper body and lays down, giving me a hard time breathing and forcing me to get up. I push him off, he is easier to move then the small, fifty pound Pitbull mix, of me and get off the bed while rubbing tiredness out of my eyes. This is one thing I hate about my job: having to get up early and get ready for work.

My uniform lays nice and neat on top of my tall dresser where I left it after doing my laundry two days before. Putting it on to look professional like any normal officer and glancing in the mirror to make sure nothing was out of place, I comb out the knots in my hair and put it in an almost perfect bun. I give myself a once over before heading down stairs to start breakfast for the only human in the house, me.

The dogs follow me to the kitchen, waiting to be feed their cup and half in the morning. I pick up both of their water dishes and clean them out as they were a bit dirty, filled them up, and put them back to their original places. Next I grabbed both of their food bowls and put a cup and a half in each. They eat the same amount for Vivian being around half Kodiaks size.

"Kodiak, sit. Wait," I commanded Kodi to which he listened with pent up energy, ready to dig into his food. Once he sits his but fully down on the ground, not some half ass sit he sometimes likes to do, I place down the bowl on the stand next to the water bowl. "Okay." He goes to town on the food and ignores me like I wasn't there.

Vivian waits by her water bowl for her food like the good girl she is and her tail is wagging like crazy. "Vivian, sit. Wait," I commanded the same way with Kodiak and she once her butt touched the ground, I place the bowl next to her water bowl. "Okay." She bolts to the food and chows down. For her small size, she can much quicker than Kodiak.

After dealing with the dogs for their morning food, I go to the freezer and pull out the frozen pancakes for my breakfast. Opening the bag and pulling out three pancakes, I place them on a plate and put the plate into the microwave. I press the three minute button to start the process of heating up the pancakes and head to the garage to grab an energy drink for the day; it will help me wake up faster and keep my energy up for the morning.

Watching the news for anything exciting to entertain me until it's time to leave, I sip on my delicious V8 energy drink. I hate coffee, the taste is terrible, the smell is horrible; this is why I drink the V8's instead, they taste much better and hold about the same caffeine as a cup of coffee. While sitting on the couch, the dogs, Vivian finished first but waited for her partner in crime to finish, trot into the living room before heading to the front door.

Getting off the couch and walking to the door, I let the pouches out to go use the outdoors as their bathroom and stand on the porch. My eyes scan over the landscape of the trees surrounding our houses but found their way to the black GMC Topkick truck parked in the same place as yesterday. It still gave off this weird feeling and caused my stomach to turn; it felt as if it was watching me, even to this very second and from how far away I'm from it.

"Kodiak, Vivian, inside!" I shouted for my dogs to come back in after being outside for about fifteen minutes. They come barreling towards the house and once making it inside, they slip on the linoleum and fall completely to their asses. Both are very intelligent, most of the time when they aren't playing around and not paying any attention to their surroundings. "Kennels!" Both of them stop and hung their head low as if they were in trouble.
