An Angel For Bishop: Part 4
A
Criminal Investigation Exposes Powerful Alliances. But Willow Becomes Free
& Legal.

Podcast at Steamy Stories.
Dan
pulled the keyboard towards him and banged out a quick email to Kira with the
measurements and the details of where to get the secure credentials. He
maintained an online repository for such details and he knew she had the
credentials to access that. Once that was sent he pushed back his chair and
stood up with Willow in his arms. She snuggled her face into his neck. He
carried her into the kitchen and checked on the timer for the pizza. It was
almost ready. Dan walked over to the kitchen table and set Willow down on a
chair. She seemed reluctant to let go but when he asked her to she did
immediately.
He
set the table and poured some drinks. The oven chimed and he took the pizza
out. He ran the cutter over the pizza to ensure the slices were separated and
brought it over to the table setting it between them.
"If
there are any toppings you don't like feel free to pick them off," he
said.
Apparently
Willow had a lot of experience with pizza so Dan was free to just watch her devour
slice after slice. Finally she pushed back from the table and rubbed her tummy
which showed just the slightest bump.
Dan
tidied up and wrapped up a few sliced that were left over. These would be good
for her mid-morning snack tomorrow.
It
was still early so he asked Willow if she'd like to see a movie. She got a
strange look in her eye which Dan wasn't able to interpret but she nodded
hesitantly. Dan grabbed the tablet PC and pulled up the listing of movies they
had on the house server. He thought he would start out really light. He had no
idea what she liked or what kind of movies she had been exposed to. This would
be a good experiment. He took her hand and led her through the living room
grabbing up the blanket they'd left on the couch. Once they were comfortably
seated on their recliners in the theater room he used the tablet to activate
the projector.
She
watched the screen with some hesitancy until she saw it was an animated film
about dogs. She glanced over questioningly.
"Have
you ever seen 'Lady and the Scamp'?" he asked
She
shook her head, eyes wide and riveted to the screen.
Dan
leaned back and enjoyed the movie. He especially enjoyed watching the innocence
in Willow's face as she became thoroughly involved with the story. He saw her
delight, her tears, and once heard her laugh out loud before she clamped her
hand over her mouth and looked at him nervously. He only smiled so she turned
back to the film. When it was over she was looking at him and practically
vibrating with excitement. He smiled and gestured for her to come closer. She
leapt from her chair and climbed onto his to smother his face with kisses.
"So
you liked that?" he chuckled.
She
nodded vigorously with a big grin on her face.
"I'm
going to read in bed before I go to sleep. I suppose we should discuss sleeping
arrangements," he said.
Willow
looked a little nervous.
"From
the fact that you snuck into my bed this afternoon, may I assume you would
prefer to not sleep in your own room? I want you to know that I won't be offended,
hurt, angry, or disappointed if you would like to have your very own room and
sleep in your own bed. I respect your need for privacy and personal space. I
also want you to know that the offer for having your own room will always be
there even if you don't choose to do it right away."
Willow's
voice got really quiet. "May I stay with you?"
"Yes,"
he simply said.
She
beamed at him and rubbed her body against his.
He
could feel himself responding so he sat up and lifted her to her feet. They
walked out of the theater and made their way back to the master bedroom. He put
new sheets on the bed and dug out a long t-shirt Willow could use for pajamas.
He was going to run out of clothes himself if he had to share so much of this
wardrobe with her.
He
slipped off his clothes and stepped into some shorts he slept in. When he
turned back Willow was in the t-shirt and had her dirty clothes in her arms.
They put their clothes in the bin and brushed their teeth together, an activity
which seemed to delight Willow.
Soon
they were tucked into the bed, he reading the news from his tablet and she
stretched out against his side. Dan managed to read for an hour before his eyes
grew weary and he put the tablet away. He slipped down under the covers and
Willow snuggled in after looking at him for permission. He'd have to work on
that. Then they drifted off.
Chapter 4
Dan
arranged with Wally to do some deliveries for him. His friend was also
delighted to hear his best buddy had found some female companionship. The pilot
made two separate drops over three days, the first being extra groceries to
tide them over until spring thaw and the second was the clothes for Willow.
Kira
really came through with the shopping spree and Willow was set. So many
beautiful outfits and some seriously sexy underwear. Willow delighted in trying
them on for Dan to see and he delighted in taking them off. She enjoyed that
too.
A
few weeks later Andrei got back to Dan to say his investigator was having some
difficulty following the cold trail but was still working on it. The people in
question had lived secretive lives and even the information on their deaths was
often limited.
Officer
Duncan called back and said that the Fed's would wait for Dan and Willow to
come in for an interview.
Dan
worked on two projects for customers during those months and was very pleased
with his productivity. While Willow was often a distraction and a delightful
one, he was far more focused when he was working. His clients were very happy
as well.
He
determined that she needed a hobby. She was fascinated when he built prototypes
for his projects in the metalworking shop so he started teaching her how to
work with metal, including welding. She showed an immediate aptitude for it and
began building small sculptures with pieces of scrap metal as practice. Once he
was confident that she understood and followed all of the safety precautions he
would leave her to her creating and go back to his work. She wouldn't stay away
from him for long though. She'd pop her head in to see him every 30 minutes or
so and the anxious look would slip from her face when he smiled her way.
The
next few months flew by. Dan kept up the calorie and nutrition rich diet for
Willow, combined with some light exercises and she responded very well. Soon
the gauntness left her features and her curves began to fill out.
Sooner
than he expected the winter months passed and the snows began to recede. Spring
rains began in earnest and did their best to wash away the rest of the snow.
Dan received notification from the highway patrol that the mountain road would
officially open in a week. This gave him time to make preparations and setup
appointments with the various government officials in the city to begin the
process of building Willow a new identity.
Andrei
had gotten back to him with the disappointing news that his investigator had
been unable to identify Willow's mother. There had been a surprising number of
unidentified dead Jane Doe's in the rough geographic area and time frame the
investigator had been given. There was a good possibility that the woman had
been renting her apartment on a cash basis from the original owners so there
were no records. There were no work records they could trace back either so
he'd reached a dead end.
Dan
sat down with Willow to discuss next steps. They sat on a couch in the living
room before the fireplace watching the flames dance across the logs. He asked
her how she wanted to proceed. Willow just asked him what he thought she should
do. She had no emotional connection to her past. What she'd gone through had
scoured that away.
Dan
held Willows hands as he looked into her eyes and felt himself falling into
their depths. She'd become such an important part of his life over the past few
months. He'd come to the realization that he could no longer see his life
without her in it. He was still dealing with his PTSD though the flash back
episodes were less frequent now than they'd ever been. Dan was amazed that this
beautiful, damaged woman could make his own broken mind feel so strong and
complete.
"I've
set up some appointments to get you identity documentation so we can get you a
passport so you can travel with me. It hinges on your having a name."
"My
name is Willow," she smiled at him and he felt his heart skip. He really
did love this woman!
"If
you would have me, I would like you to be Willow Bishop. Will you be my
wife?" he asked holding his breath.
Willow's
eyes went large and her mouth opened in surprise. Tears welled up in those
beautiful eyes and she flung herself against his chest as the tears burst
forth. "Yes! Oh, yes!" she wailed.
They
clung to each other and shared tears and kisses, both feeling more complete
than they'd ever felt apart.
Once
they'd got control over their tears they sat back on the couch holding hands
and watched the fire. "Normally I'd present you with an engagement ring
but there's a shortage of jewelry stores in this neighborhood," Dan said,
smiling.
"You
don't need to buy me a ring," Willow whispered, still in shock over Dan's
proposal.
"Yes
I do and you will have the most lovely and dazzling ring we can find but it's
still going to pale next to your beauty," Dan insisted.
She
snuggled into his arm and purred.
The
following week was especially warm for spring. They climbed into the Jeep for the
first time since he'd rescued her from the cliff. They made their way carefully
down to the road and drove to the city. Willow had no memory of her first time
through this route as she'd been in a far worse physical and mental state on
that trip.
Their
first errand was to meet with the police and the Feds. He'd made arrangements
in advance so they were expecting them.
Dan
and Willow were ushered into a conference room where they sat holding hands.
Two men entered the room shortly after them.
Officer
Duncan was a big man. Peppery hair cropped short and broad shoulders with a
barrel chest, he looked like he'd be better fit as a lumberjack than wearing a
suit in an office. The man next to him was so average your eyes would pass over
him on the street and not even register he was there. Grey suit, brown hair,
medium height and build, regular features, he was a study in neutral. Officer
Duncan introduced him as Special Agent Joel Gregson. The only thing that seemed
off character was the dainty gold pinkie ring the man wore. For some reason it
raised the hairs on the back of Dan's neck.
An
Agent Pays A Price For Corruption.
After
the introductions were made, Dan gave his statement about Willow's rescue to the
two men. Duncan recorded the statement and asked questions. Gregson sat
quietly, watching. Mostly watching Willow in Dan's opinion. The man was creepy
but he supposed working on the violent gang task force probably did that to a
person. Exposed to so much horror and violence, some of it had to leak in.
Willow
was obviously picking up on it as well as she moved closer to Dan and clung to
his hand. Finally, Dan had had enough.
"Excuse
me, Agent Gregson. Would you please stop staring at Willow. She's had enough of
that in her life and it makes her very uncomfortable," he said firmly.
"I'm
not sure what you mean," the man said with an emotionless voice. Dan felt
her grip on his hand tighten.
Duncan
had picked up on the vibe as well and was uncomfortable with the federal agent
too. "You read the history report Dan sent us. The woman was
traumatized."
The
agent just looked at Duncan and looked away. "If you've finished with Mr.
Bishop I would like to interview 'Willow' about what she saw and heard during
her time with the Blood Brothers. Alone."
Dan's
hackles went up when Gregson said her name. "That's not going to happen.
If you want to ask her questions you're free to do so, but I will be here for
her support and protection."
"Protection?
You really think you're up to that task? I've read your file. You're a mental
gimp. Load on the pressure and you crack. How are you going to single handedly
protect her from the Chula Vista Chapter of the Blood Brothers? When they learn
you've killed one of theirs and stolen one of their bitches-" he sneered.
Dan
surged to his feet and Duncan grabbed his arm. "You will not refer to
Willow with that term."
Duncan
turned an angry glare at the Fed. "And how would the Chula Vista Chapter
come into possession of that information. I noted you said when not
if ."
Gregson
examined his nails and shrugged. "Information is so difficult to contain
these days," he said.
"Not
really Agent. That information will not leave my files so the only possible
leak would have to come from you, wouldn't it?" Duncan growled.
"The
only truly secure files are those involved in active investigations. Where
witnesses actively assist Agents in building solid cases against the
criminals." He looked straight at Willow with a greasy smile.
"So
basically you're telling us we give you what you want or you leak the
information to the gang," Dan growled. Officer Duncan stared at the Agent
with a thunderous rage building.
"I'm
saying nothing of the sort. Those aren't my words," the agent said with a
false look of innocence.
"You've
been working too long with the worst sort of people Agent Gregson. We can no
longer distinguish you from them. We're done here. Come on Willow, the air is
tainted in here," Dan said with a look of disgust. She was immediately at
his side and followed him out. Gregson admired the view as she left. Duncan
shook his head and left to speak with Dan before he left.
"Mr.
Bishop! I'm so sorry about that. I had
