These are parts of
stories that are still being written, its coming right off the paper no

So, this story doesn’t have a name.
It’s an idea before it’s a book. But for now I’m calling it…
Book A
(not the blurb)
Joel just got off his longest and hardest undercover assignment yet. And
though, normally, he’d bounce back, shed the life he pretended to leave, and become
himself again. But something different this time. Something isn’t right, and
Joel is feeling the pressure of his old shelf battling his pretend self.
Can Shane, a shrink in training, be able to help Joel sort the bad with
the good and finally let go of what happened on his assignment?
Chapter One
It was once screamed to me that going undercover was
having the moral high ground as you shout the man point blank. It was the idea
of fun, adrenalin—adventure, with the safety net that you weren’t doing this
because you wanted to—because you carved
the taste of fear on your tongue. But because you had to. That at the end of the night you were able to put your head
on your pillow and tell yourself that what you’d just done was for the good of
the world, and not because you craved that power under your fingertips as a man
twice your size knelt in a puddle of his own piss.
I’d scoffed at that idea.
I’d rolled my eyes and told the arsehole he’d no idea what it
was like to fight with yourself as you witnessed things you didn’t want to see.
That you had to stand there and let it happen because you had no other chose.
I screamed at him that it wasn’t freedom that I got from being
undercover. There was no freedom to be what I wanted, to do what I wanted. I
had a code, and I had to forsake it in a way that I never thought would happen.
That I’d been naive. Even agreeing when it first came across my
table, a question for my taking.
There wasn’t anything pleasant about going undercover. Half the
time you feared the fact that people actually did know you. And there simple
fuck up could cost me my life. that a little nod or wink could be the difference between where
I stood one day and where I was standing the next.
That was before you added in the paranoia and the infighting.
That was before you took that gun in your hands and were asked a
simple question. One, that in any other light, you could have let go. Turned
your back, and the guy handing you the gun would have respected that enough to
allow you to go.
Because, unlike popular belief, respect was earned in a lot of
different ways. Under a lot of different lights. But in this game, you had to
do what was done or you weren’t allowed into the big boys bathroom.
It wasn’t that you were completely boxed out. They would use
you, and treat you the same, you just weren’t invited to things that had a
possibility to escalate. Because if you didn’t pull the trigger yourself, what
was to say you wouldn’t dob in the guy who did.
That’s how this life worked.
The bad guys didn’t dress in killer suits behind large desk with
a look of death in their eyes.
No, the bad guy was usually the one that was willing to take
anything, and had a mouth that could sell you shit on a stick and you’d eat
that bad boy up with a moan of delight.
They were sales people with a pitch you generally couldn’t pass
up. It was the reason they sucked so many people in. people, you wouldn’t think
had weak minds.
They were regular guys who could talk to regular people. Fit
into regular worlds and no be seen. It was those men that were the most
dangerous. they also happened to be the ones that would eventually get too big
for their britches and end up lording themselves over other. Believing the
bullshit they spat at their disciples until those big arse men saw threw them
and ended up taking out the king.
I’m getting way off the point.
The difference between being one of the bad guys and being
undercover is that you don’t have a hell no factor. Even if shooting some
lowlife. Watching its brains paint the wall would have you vomit up your last
three meals. You are forced by those above you to suck it all back. Grow some
balls and do what the fuck they said.
They want you in the top three; you bet your curls that’s where
you had to make it. it didn’t matter what you did—hell, a lot of the time, they
wanted you to be creative, because if you could get there in three month rather
than 2 years, they’d promote you—as long as you could be in that type of lime
light at the end of it.
You generally can’t be.
Undercover, it seemed, was more a for life thing that anything
else. You get that caught up. You did that good a job, and you’re stuck out
there in the wilderness, because that’s where you are best.
They don’t care about your mind. They give you a shrink for
that. They aren’t paying to you cry about the unfairness of your life. Or that
you can’t have a family or a life. You job—what they pay you to do, is stand
there looking tough and play a part you have no hope of ever returning from.
They don’t give to shits about your worth other than what you
can do for them. And for them, undercover are no better than the criminals
there pulling in. because, as far as they see it, though they trained you for
this job, you’re not really one of them anymore.
How can they trust that you won’t just change sides now that you
had a taste? How are they sure you haven’t already?
“You know that’s not true, right?” a soft almost feminine male
voice said from behind Joel, making him jump. It sadly, lifting his heart
slightly that he didn’t yelp along with it.
“What?” Joel managed to get around his thumping heart.
“That they don’t see you are anything but a criminal?” he
muttered softly. It was a nice voice, Joel thought, made you want to lean into
it, just so you could catch everything that was being said.
Joel looked down at himself, he was in the locker room with only
his pants on. his arms bludged out sightly from the side of his body—he’d put
on way to much muscle mass for this assignment. But with his build he knew it
didn’t look bad. His shoulders nearly eclipsed most people. They defiantly put
a shadow on the world around him. His six foot height, with his thick waist,
and massive tight—before he’d even started working out. Made him perfect for
high body count jobs. He looked mean all on his own. Adding the born tanned
skin from his Maori ancestors, added the sleeve tattoos up both his arms, and
the dragon tattoo that ran from his right arse cheek across his whole lower
back and ended up tucked under his arms, it’s tongue licking at his left
nipple, that held a heavy silver bar threw it.
It’s hadn’t been one of his finest thought. But he’d at least
gotten a killer artist to design and tat the whole thing. And with the slight
design threw the dragon’s scales that were seen when close up, he wouldn’t have
given up the thing for the world.
He knew the rest of him looked as big and as rugged as he was
born to look. He was his dad’s son, that was for sure, and that arsewhip looked
like shit run over. Though, he’d been told, his mum’s Irish genes did add a
softness to his face that made him attractive to all kinds.
But he’d never seen anything but a reason for his mum to beat on
him as she screamed of him being just like the dead beat that left her
impregnated with his lazy arse before he jumped ship and headed on over the
Tasman sea, and home.
Joel’s first contact with his dad had been in his teen years.
Apparently, he’s been an All Black, and his mum a slut who just wanted to say
she’d banged a footy star—a New Zealand one at that.
Aussies lasses were kinda weird that way. They all wanted to get
with a Maori—he’ll any male with that NZ kick to their speech would do it to
some.
“Joel,” that soft voice spoke again, closer this time, as that
little body came and sat down on the bench.
With a sigh he sat down next to him. He didn’t really want to
but he couldn’t seem to stop his muscles from following orders that weren’t
given. It was almost a relief to sit there, quietly with the man’s heat next to
him.
“Did you know you were speaking out load before?” he asked, his
mouth lifted slightly at the side.
Joel felt his shoulders slump, and, because of his work, he
flowed that flow. He wasn’t meant to show this type of weakness. He couldn’t. And
so he ended up with his arms on his knees, his fingers entwined between his
legs, his face turned to look—hell, nearly on level with the other man. He must
be quite short.
“It’s happened before,” he smiled at the other man.
“Hmm,” the guy smiled back. It was a killer smile, that was for
sure, all teeth and lips that screamed—hell, made you want to beg at the guy’s
feet to fuck him. Joel had the impression that he knew it too. That he’d never
had to pay for a drink in his life, if he turned that smile, just slightly
seductive, he’d get the whole fucking world.
Joel liked that type of smile. Like the fact that it would work.
That it would keep this little man alive, just because Joel knew the guy could
use it to it’s full advantage.
“What’s your name?” Joel asked, after a few beats. He didn’t
really understand why he almost whispered the question, but it was almost like
sitting there with this man had turned the locker room, the bench under his
arse, into somewhere better. Far away from everything that was running around
him.
“Shane,” he smiled again, this one a little less full of
bullshit and fairy bread. It worked even better for him.
Still, what
you think? Would it be something you’d be interested in reading?
A FEW NOTES:
This book will
actually need research, which for me, means I’ll have to talk to my uncle, or
cousins, or cousin-in-law. I have quite a few cops in the family—criminals too.
What can I say, were a diverse family.
So bear that
in mind as you read this very unedited first chapter of my latest WIP
And yeah, I
know that I started the story off in first party and went off into third, and I’m
still thinking if it actually works with the details that come off it. And the
ones to come down the line. but if they don’t I’m sure I can italic it or change
it up to third person—but I’m still in the first writing stage and so it’s left
until I finish it, and know all there is to know about this story.
And I have
started writing out part 2 in That’s Different…. It’s going to be a 3 part
part. That I’m hoping to run through November.
