Arresting the Warlord

GENRE: Sci-fi Romance

BLURB:

CeeCee Tsosie is a Navajo Nation police officer and shaman with the ability to control the weather. She’ll admit arresting Jake Jones, a Coletti Warlord, for speeding was not one of her better decisions. But hey, the law was the law and the drop-dead gorgeous warlord pushed every one of her buttons. She might have been a tad over-zealous with her rainstorm and stun gun, but the Jackass had it coming.

An alien serial killer is stalking the Navajo Nation. The Coletti Empire is hunting a galactic fugitive. Turns out they need each other’s help to stop the shapeshifting predator. Can she work with the Jackass? Can Jake convince CeeCee she’s the one? Only time, and the spirits will tell.

EXCERPT:

Father’s worried voice sounded in my head, “There’s been another murder.”

“Where?”

“Outside Many Farms.”

A knot of apprehension formed in my gut. Had the Chupacabra hit again? “Any details?”

“All I know is a tourist found a woman’s body on a hiking trail and called it in,” Father answered.

“Do we have a cause of death?”

“No, Mellie said the comm-link kept cutting out. Sergeant Thomas is coming to pick us up.”

“The General and the Jackass can deal with this crime scene. By the time I climb down, Thomas will be here,” I said walking over to the edge of the pinnacle.

“You could ask the General to teleport you down.”

“And explain why? Not a chance.” I eased myself over the edge of the eight-hundred-foot high spire and lowered myself into a crevasse. Previous climbers had chiseled handholds into the rock, and I used them to climb down.

“Going somewhere?” The Jackass snarled from a foot away.

The idiot was hanging from a ledge by one hand. I knew Coletti warriors were strong, but seriously, not a smart move. “I have other duties that need my attention.” I yelped when the Jackass grabbed my weapons belt and I was suddenly dangling seven hundred feet above the ground. I latched onto him. “Are you fucking nuts?”

Jake bared his fangs. “What duties? And if you lie to me, you won’t like the consequences.”

“Answer him CeeCee,” Father ordered.

“There’s been a murder and I need to investigate it.”

“Another murder?” Jake’s eyes narrowed in pure exasperation. “And you didn’t think to tell us?”

“The victim isn’t a Coletti warrior.”

The cocky bastard smiled as he released his hold on the ledge and we abruptly plummeted earthward.

A terrified scream broke from me. There was a flash of black and we were at the base of Spider Rock. A relieved breath broke from me. We hadn’t gone splat! My relief quickly turned to anger. “You did that on purpose.”

Jake smirked. “Now tell me about the new homicide.”

“There’s a dead woman outside Many Farms, which is my jurisdiction, not yours.”

“Nevertheless, you will keep us informed.” He cocked his head. “What kind of modifications did you do to your stun gun?”

That’s when I realized I was still wrapped around him like a limpet. I could feel the color rushing to my cheeks. Damn. “None of your business.” Unlocking my arms and legs, I slid down his rock-solid body and stomped away.

“Was it good for you too?” He whispered in my head.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:

I was a 9-1-1 dispatcher for the Glendale Police Department and to keep from going totally bonkers – I mean people have no idea of what a real emergency is. Take this for an example: I answered, “9-1-1 emergency, what’s your emergency?” And this hysterical woman yelled, “My bird is in a tree.” Sometimes I really couldn’t help myself, so I said, “Birds have a tendency to do that, ma’am.” The woman screeched, “No! You don’t understand. My pet parakeet is in the tree. I’ve just got to get him down.” Like I said, not a clue. “I’m sorry ma’am, but we don’t get birds out of trees.” The woman then cried, “But… What about my husband? He’s up there, too.” See what I had to deal with? To keep from hitting myself repeatedly in the head with my phone, I took up writing.
