Chapter 13
"Hey Maxie. What's happening?" Sheriff Warner answered his phone, disdain in his voice. He really hated talking to Max, but it afforded him the lifestyle he loved. The pay was too good to pass up. Besides, any chance to screw with the man who wanted nothing more than to break his neck always improved his mood.
"Tom, listen up, you fat prick. We got a little situation we need your help with. That is, if you can figure out a way to get your ass off the stool at the donut shop."
"Are you sure you can't get your own tampons? I'm kind of in the middle of something here Maxie. Just dropped me a fine specimen of a mountain goat. I gotta get it all cleaned up and sent off to the taxidermist."
"Aren't mountain goats out of season?" Max asked suspiciously.
"Well, this poor little guy fell to its death all by itself," Tom chuckled. "Shame to waste all that. Little fellow has some real nice horns too. Bet all the lady mountain goats loved him. Hell, he kinda looks like your type Maxie. I should have saved him for you. Besides, it's only illegal if you're not the Sheriff. So what is it today? If it's your mom, tell her I'll be by later to take care of all her problems, if you know what I mean."
"Look, I don't have time for this bullshit. We got a case of illegal road racing out here by site five. Unfortunately, our racer can't take the hint and fall into a canyon."
"Ah, one of them. What happened this time? You let a woman get a good look at your face again? I told you not to let that happen," Tom chuckled at his own wit. "Well, what kind of car we talking about? I can have the deputies set up a roadblock near town." When Max relayed the description of the car, Sheriff Warner let out a low whistle. "That sounds like the Driscol girl, if I was guessing. Boy, you guys must have done something wrong to get on her bad side! Hey, you know what? There's a side of her I'd like to get on if you know what I mean."
