《The Night Shift (Mike Schmidt x Reader)》6. Mr. Ring Ring
Advertisement
When Mike finally pulled into the station, we both jumped out of the car. After I bought the can of gas to put in my tank, I began to walk back to Mike's car. He was sipping a cup of coffee, so I knew that he'd stopped by the convenience store. Geez, this guy sure likes coffee.
He hopped in as soon as he saw me. On the drive back, I had realized that Mike hasn't mentioned who'd shown him the ropes. I mean, there was no way someone like him figured everything out by himself. So I asked him. He suddenly went rigid and started mumbling something about empty heads in a back room. He was close to swerving off the road. "Shit, Mike! Are you still in there?!? WE'RE GOING TO DRIVE OFF OF THE FUCKING ROAD!!!!" I screamed. That seemed to get his attention. Luckily, he managed to just barely miss driving off. "Shit, sorry." He muttered. "I can ask another time if you don't feel comfortable... I mean..." "No, no, I'll explain. It's about time I told you anyway."
"You see, I never really got to meet him face to face. I only saw him the time I came to get that pre-shift tour, and even then it was only briefly. He left a series of recordings for me to listen to so I could get through the night, telling me all the basics. The last night he was supposed to work the night shift, he was... brutally murdered. While he was recording one of the messages."
Mike started to cry. It was so unlike him to do so. Jesus, it must've been really tragic to make MIKE, the badass who could stand months upon months of near death experiences, cry just thinking about it. "It's haunted me since I first heard it. Apparently all the animatronics went for him at once. I never even got to know his name, and he saved my life too many times to count..." I patted Mike on the back, unsure how to comfort him. Why'd I have to be so bad at this? Oh well, at least Mike seemed to feel better. "I'm sorry I asked; I had no idea that it'd be something like that..." I murmured.

We pulled in to the pizzeria. I hopped out of the car and took the gas out of the trunk. Mike waved and I started walking back towards my car. Mike tackled me from behind in another big bear hug (minus the bear this time). I pretty much just stood there awkwardly, waiting for him to let me go. "Thank you," he said. "I needed to get that out of my system. I've kept it to myself for all this time, and it was really wearing down on me. Mr. Ring Ring may be dead, but at least I put it to rest."
He finally released me after a while. I turned right around and gave him a hug of my own before he ran back to his car. As he turned to walk away, I called out, "Mike?"
"Yeah?" He yelled back. "If you need to talk to someone about anything, you can tell me. I'm the best secret-keeper this side of the earth!" Mike thanked me and hopped into his car with a huge grin on his face. As he drove away, it had almost seemed as though he was chastising himself. Huh.
At least I had helped him get that ring-ring business out of his system.

8 56Lawman.
Lawman follows the exploits of Relovan, a Human Police Enforcer stationed on the BlargonianPlanets – a series of small planets on which pure Essence is mined, and refined into fuel. On hisday off, he finds himself and his fellow Enforcers caught up in a fight between two Void Lords,beings of immense power, who answer only to the Council, after the pair of Void Lords touchdown on the Station, seeking to refuel their respective Void Walkers. In the ensuing clash,Relovan punches above his weight and subdues a number of Void Knights – those in the serviceof the Void Lords – before becoming directly involved in the confrontation between the VoidLords themselves. His performance during the incident catches the attention of the current PoliceChief, Nura, who essentially takes him under his wing, and assists him in various ways,including when he is summoned to answer before the Council for getting involved in the spatbetween the two Void Lords. The book ends after the conclusion of the Hearing.Relovan is a stickler for the Law – something that prompted him to learn not only the laws ofvarious territories and planetary systems, but also the native languages and customs, so as touphold the law as best he can. As a highly trained, and immensely skilled former soldier,Relovan’s abilities along with his latent talent regarding the use of Essence, allow him to hangwith beings infinitely more powerful than him. Lawman is a full length manuscript that I will likely self publish once I have the artwork for it.
