Lucky Josh - S01 E56

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 56

"Can I help you?" a stern woman's voice asked him.

Turning around he saw a huge woman towering over him, he just passed her shoulder in height.

Her figure was good and everything was in great proportion, she was just a size bigger.

"Wow" Josh said with a smile "you can but I might get arrested just for asking.

She looked at him surprised and then laughed loudly, startling some of her colleagues.

"Okay" she said, wiping a tear of laughter "seriously, what can I do for you?"

"I need to post bail for Melody Hunter" Josh said smiling, glad that melody had put her full name in his phone.

"Ah, okay, follow me the big police woman said and walked to a counter.

"You know what she's in for?"

"No, but if it's related to that piece of crap getting his eyes done than I can guess." That stopped the woman and she turned to face him again.

"It is" she said, looking at Josh with trained police eyes.

Josh felt small under her stare and imagined her naked to keep his

cool. "Hmm, anyway" she continued after Josh didn't break under her stare "bail is set at ten thousand dollar for use of an illegal chemical agent."

"No problem" Josh said and asked "what's the ball for aggravated assault and stalking?"

"You need a judge for that, why do you ask, you're a lawyer, you should know better than me."

"Lawyer?" Josh said surprised "what makes you say that?"

"The suit, your presence and self assured attitude" she replied getting the form she needed.

"Well I am not, I am a friend of Melody and even if I was a lawyer, how many do you know with a sense of humor?"

She looked curiously at Josh and said "None."

"I'll need your card and ID" she said but her demeanor was kinder

Josh handed them over and she copied the needed data, looking twice when she saw his passport, checking his immigration stamp.

"J stands for?" she asked printing out the forms.

"Josh" he heard another officer saying and looked up surprised to see Lisa in uniform walking towards them.

"Lisa?" Josh said surprised "I didn't know you were a police officer."

"Besides being a kick ass key board player in a metal band? Yes I am.

"And we call ourselves cops Josh, you are being too polite again" Lisa joked and looked at the papers.

"Bailing out a woman Josh, when will you stop being such a hero for us girls?" she grinned.

"A moment please" the big cop said and walked a bit back with Lisa, whispering.

A minute later Lisa came back and asked "Josh, I need you to tell me what you know of this woman in relation to that man" pointing to the guy from the party.

Josh told them exactly what had happened at the party, leaving out the call girl part.

The big cop laughed again when he was finished and took his hand shaking it.

"Well done kid, my name is Kendra and I am pleased to meet you, Mr. half a million."

Josh gave Lisa a foul mock stare and was about to sign the papers for the bail when Kendra took them and tore them up.

"No need for bail this time, I'll let her go with a warning and you tell her to get pepper spray instead of mace okay?"

"I will" he replied smiling "and I am pleased to have met you as well Kendra."

"Yeah well, you are okay in my book Josh, few enough decent men around as it is."

With that, she turned and got back to her work, leaving Lisa with Josh.

"I'll get her for you but before I do, is it true?" Lisa asked with hopeless romantic eyes.

"If you are referring to my proposing to Cam then yes, she accepted" he said grinning. "Congratulations Josh, I am sure you'll make her very happy."

"I plan to he replied smiling like a fool. "We'll talk more on Wednesday" Lisa whispered and went back to get Melody out of her cell.

A few minutes later Melody walked besides Josh out of the station.

Her eyes were red from crying and she hadn't said anything yet, Josh wasn't sure she'd even recognized him.

He led her to the car and buckled her seat belt, walking around when Danni's phone went off.

"Hey Burt, I have her in the car now, no bail needed, the charge dropped with a warning."

It remained silent for a moment before a very quiet Burt asked

"How did you do that?"

Josh explained what happened and told him about Lisa and the band.

Again it was quiet for a moment and Josh waited for Burt to respond.

"You walk a blessed path Josh Burt finally said "and I am proud to walk with you."

Red headed he thanked Burt for the compliment and asked "Is that Bushido or Taoist?"

"Something like that, but it's more of a Burtisme" he laughed at the other side.

"I'll take Melody home with me, Is there anybody else that needs to be contacted?"

"I'll take care of that Josh and thanks again sport, I owe you big time."

With that last statement Burt hung up and Josh sat down next to Melody, starting the car.

The drive back was even quicker, going away from the center. They were almost there when Melody started crying again and Josh quickly parked.

"Melody, look at me, you are safe" Josh said holding her hand.

He talked for a little while longer until she finally looked at him

saying "Josh?"

"Yeah it's me, you're safe now, I am taking you to my home"

"Danni's there and no one else knows you're with me, well, besides Burt."

"You came for me? You bailed me out?" she sald between her sobs.

"Burt called for Danni but she was asleep so I came for you and the charges were dropped so don't you worry about that okay?"

"He came for me again Josh, he followed me from my home" she cried, angry tears rolling down her face.

"I know" Josh said "let's get you safe first okay, then we'll talk." He drove the last bit silently, casting a glance every now and then on Melody.

When they finally arrived, she was asleep in the passenger seat. She must be exhausted he thought and opened the front door before lifting her out of the car and brought her to his room. Melody didn't wake when Josh lay her down on his bed, removing most of her clothes he covered her under his blanket and kissed her on her fore head, wishing her a good night. Quietly he closed his door behind him and taped a note on the door saying "do not disturb, Melody is sleeping, call me when she is awake, Josh."

Back in the recreation room, Josh found Danni still asleep. He sat down next to her and looked at her sleeping face, restful and relaxed.

The phones he put on the table, just in case and finished his glass of wine.

Taking of his shoes, he heard a noise coming from the pool and something that sounded like giggling.
