Stilettos and Sniper Rifles

I've been a Maricopa County Sheriff's deputy for four years. Most folks don't have a clue about what a cop deals with every day. Like a pack of attack chihuahuas, a monkey with a bad case of diarrhea, a hungry python, a Brahma bull named Bodacious and a six-foot iguana.

And that is just the critters. Now let me tell you about the two-legged varmints. Such as a three-hundred-pound biker who got a bit irate when I zapped him with a stun gun, or a murderous nun, and let's not forget the senior citizens having an orgy. Ugh.

My personal life isn't much better. Off duty I'm a ballroom dancer which everyone makes fun of. I love competitive dancing; I get to meet a lot of people who aren't trying to kill me. Ok, there was one incident, but hey, shit happens. At a dance competition Detective Sergeant Dante Delgado waltzed into my life. My girly parts yelled yee-haw, he's the one. Now, if I can only get him to do the tango with me.

Law enforcement isn't for the fainthearted. Are you brave enough to enter my world?

Author's note: I was a 9-1-1 dispatcher for way too many years and this novella contains some of the wilder incidents that occurred.
