It's a slow day today, and Bill and Dave are taking it a bit easy. Sitting on a fence post at the feed lot, they're snacking on M&Ms and handling one of the few crimes reported today.

"We outta just take him in, Bill. He's never gonna do it," Dave comments, shaking his head.

"Don't give up on him, yet," Bill replies, then shouts out, "C'mon, Pete! He's outsmartin' you!"

In the yard of the lot Pete runs by, led by a zig-zagging chicken that he's chasing.

"Hey, fellas," Rudy says when he steps out of the car. "Guess what?"

"Shut up," Rudy says, taking a seat on the trunk of the cruiser. His pout doesn't last long; his expression lights and he says, "I got some news."

wheelsy_sheriff: (doing the job)
From: [personal profile] wheelsy_sheriff
While they talk Bill turns his attention back to Pete.

"Pete lost control of his truck again. Crashed through the fence over there," he answers, nodding to a small enclosure on the end of the lot.

"No, just stupid," Bill mumbles, climbing down off the fence.

Rudy speaks up again, impatient for attention.

"Hey, guess what."

Date: 2011-01-28 08:48 am (UTC)
smalltowndeputy: (howdy)
From: [personal profile] smalltowndeputy
"No," Rudy replies, snickering. "You ain't never gonna guess."

Rudy looks put out.

"'Cause it's fun."

"Pete!" Bill calls out after glancing at his watch. "Y'got five minutes!"

Rudy looks at Pete, who picks up the pace, then persists with Dave and Bill.

"I'll give you a hint; it's got t'do with my family."

Date: 2011-01-28 08:51 am (UTC)
smalltowndeputy: (almost srs)
From: [personal profile] smalltowndeputy
Rudy looks affronted.

"No."

Date: 2011-01-28 08:51 am (UTC)
wheelsy_sheriff: (easy conversation)
From: [personal profile] wheelsy_sheriff
"You're in love with your half-sister Bertha," Bill puts in, laughing when Pete makes a dive and misses.

Date: 2011-01-28 08:53 am (UTC)
smalltowndeputy: (uh...*yeah*)
From: [personal profile] smalltowndeputy
"NO, c'mon you guys!" Rudy pulls himself up, starting to bristle.

Date: 2011-01-28 08:54 am (UTC)
smalltowndeputy: (are you pullin' my leg?)
From: [personal profile] smalltowndeputy
Rudy is worked up and nearly flustered, but calms down after Bradley backs him.

Giving Jason a nod, Rudy announces his news.

"My cousin Skinner is comin' back t'Wheelsy."

Date: 2011-01-28 08:55 am (UTC)
wheelsy_sheriff: (srsly?)
From: [personal profile] wheelsy_sheriff
"When'd he get out?" Bill asks, fixing his eyes on Rudy.

Date: 2011-01-28 08:56 am (UTC)
smalltowndeputy: (I can be serious)
From: [personal profile] smalltowndeputy
Rudy frowns, clearly expecting a different reaction.

"He's been out nearly a year now, an' doin' real well for himself in Columbia," Rudy answers, putting as strong a tone to his words as he can.

Date: 2011-01-28 08:57 am (UTC)
smalltowndeputy: (almost srs)
From: [personal profile] smalltowndeputy
"No," Rudy replies defensively before Bill or Dave can say anything.

Date: 2011-01-28 08:57 am (UTC)
wheelsy_sheriff: (speaking directly)
From: [personal profile] wheelsy_sheriff
"He stayin' with you?" Bill asks, giving Rudy a serious look.

Date: 2011-01-28 08:58 am (UTC)
smalltowndeputy: (concern)
From: [personal profile] smalltowndeputy
Rudy loses some of his staunch under Bill's gaze, and wavers.

"Just for a couple days."

Date: 2011-01-28 09:00 am (UTC)
smalltowndeputy: (explain)
From: [personal profile] smalltowndeputy
"Just 'til he gets settled."

Rudy says it like he's repeating a promise he was given.

Date: 2011-01-28 09:00 am (UTC)
wheelsy_sheriff: (I'm telling you)
From: [personal profile] wheelsy_sheriff
Bill and Dave each shake their heads.

"You watch him," Bill cautions. "He gets into any trouble, or gives you any, you let us know."

Date: 2011-01-28 09:01 am (UTC)
smalltowndeputy: (makes you think)
From: [personal profile] smalltowndeputy
Rudy frowns, looking down at his lap.

"Alright."

"I got 'im!" Pete crows, hanging onto a wildly flapping chicken.

"It's about damn time," Bill mutters, bending low to slip between the cross bars on the fence, and straightening up on the other side.

"I think so," Rudy says, working up a smile. "I think it's gonna be great."
