Sabrina looks towards the lake from the swing she was sitting in. The cool night breeze causes some loose strands of her golden bronze color hair to flutter. Tears stream down from her eyes as she wonders what she is going to do. She had 30 days to leave the apartment she had because she couldn’t afford to pay the rent.

The job she just recently got and has been working at for the past three weeks is firing her for being trans. Somehow the manager of the store found out she wasn’t a genetic woman. She didn’t know the manager was a religious nut job when he hired her. He told her that he didn’t appreciate being made a fool of and it was against his religious beliefs to have a homosexual working for him.

She feels her life would be better if she just took it now and get it over with. She looks at the bottle of pills in her hand. She brought them from a person she knew, after pawning her computer for some cash. The pawnshop didn’t give her a lot of money for her computer. It was five years old and out of date, compared to the current ones.

Sabrina twists the cap off the bottle and looks inside. According to the guy who sold her these pills, they would be strong enough to kill her with just taking a few. Just as she was about to take a few of them, her cellphone starts ringing, letting her know she got a text message. She debates if she wants to see who it is or just take the pills.

Sabrina takes her cellphone out and looks at the number. The text was from Lexus Security Company. She applied online, before selling her computer. They wanted her to come in tomorrow at eleven o’clock. If she is available, they would like for her to confirm.

She sits there and thinks about it. Here she was ready to end her life and now someone was going to give her a chance. Sabrina closes the bottle back up and places it back in her pants pocket. She’ll decide if she got the job or not before taking her own life.

Two Weeks Later:
Sabrina covers up a yawn as she goes about her patrol of the construction site she had been assigned to for the past two weeks. She had shown up for the interview early and the person that she was interviewed by was the field supervisor. He asked her a few questions and told her what her responsibilities would be. He reminded her of the actor that played Frank Burns from MASH 4077. Something about the way he acted and spoke gave her the creeps.

No sooner than she was hired and given her uniform, she was assigned to the construction site she was currently working. She was told until they could hire someone else, she would be working the site by herself. A roving supervisor was supposed to come by and check on her.
Which did happen for the first few days when she took the site. After that, she hasn't seen hide or hair of the supervisor.

The site supervisor told her she could use the construction trailer to get out of the elements. After he saw her construct a temporary shelter out of a sheet of muddy plastic and several pieces of lumber. It had started raining and she didn’t own a car to sit in like he had seen previous guards do.

She covers up another yawn as she shines her flashlight around. She was checking places the construction manager wanted her to keep an eye out for. The last security company they had didn’t do their job like they were supposed to, and several pieces of equipment walked off the site. She’s been up for twenty-two hours straight. She had done a sixteen-hour shift at the construction site and another six hours at a nearby site. The person who was supposed to show up never did to relieve the person there. Since she was nearby, the company sent her to the site.

She finishes her rounds and heads back to the construction shack. The site foreman didn’t mind her making coffee for herself. She walks over and pours herself a cup of coffee. She puts a dollar in the coffee can to help pay for the coffee and creamer. It was only fair since she was drinking the coffee and using the creamer and sugar.

Sabrina sits down at a little desk she built for herself out of some scrap wood the site had. The site foreman got a kick out of watching her build it. He did ask her where she learned to use a hammer and tape measure.

Sabrina told him her father taught her before he ran off with a younger woman. The woman had been a few years older than her. Her mother found a guy that was willing to take her in, but not herself. Her mother told the man about her crossdressing and he didn’t approve. So, she was left on her own. She was lucky she had just turned eighteen years old.

All the kids she went to school with either going to college or had managed to get a nice paying job. She was an average student and her SAT score was low. Which didn’t matter, because she couldn’t afford to go to college?

Sabrina covers up another yawn, as she takes another a sip of her coffee. Two hours of sleep was worth a crap. She had come back to the construction site to sleep. Because by the time she made it home, she would only get an hour of sleep and would have to be back at the site.
The rest of her shift goes by peacefully. When it is time for her to leave, she leaves the report the site foreman gets on his desk and she tucks her copy into her metal clipboard. She takes the third copy with her, to be dropped off at the office when she goes to pick her paycheck up.

The management company that she rented her place from, was willing to work with her. She leaves the site at seven in the morning and heads towards the company office to pick up her paycheck. As she approached the office, she noticed a black military version hummer parked in the parking lot. The license plate on it was a Montana plate with CHAOS 2 on the plate.

Sabrina wonders who this person was as she heads inside the office to drop her timesheet; the sites report off. As she enters the office, she could hear Darren Preston yelling at someone in his office. She spots Carol at her desk and walks over to give her the timesheets and reports.

“Good morning Carol, here’s my timesheet and the reports from site 1213. What’s got Darren in such a huff this morning?” Sabrina was curious.

“The new owner of the company is in there talking with him.” And just as she says that the door burst opened.

Their boss Darren comes flying out of the office with a huge ass wolf running after him. The wolf locks its jaws around his arm, as Darren tries to fight the wolf off. They spot an oriental woman dressed in a black custom business suit walking out of the office. The look on her face, looked like she was ready to kill someone.

“Sàil!” Gina looks at Shade.

The wolf lets go of Darren’s arm and walk over to the oriental woman and sit down. It had blood dripping from its jaw. A low growl could be heard coming from it.

Gina looks over at the two women standing nearby. One was wearing the company security uniform and the other was wearing standard business casual clothes.

“Call the paramedics and then call the police.” Gina directs her orders at the causal dressed woman that must have come in after she arrived.

“Yes, ma’am.” Carol picks the phone up and does as she is told.

Gina directs her gazed back down at Darren “once your wound is tended too. I will be pressing charges against you for stealing, embezzling and for physical assault.”

Sabrina was shocked as she listens to the oriental woman telling her boss what she was going to do to him. She hopes she still has a job. She looks at the oriental woman in the custom business suit “are we still in business?”

Gina directs her gazed towards the golden bronze color hair woman, dressed in the security uniform. She could tell the poor woman looked tired and worn out.

“Yes, we are still opened. What is your name and when was the last time you had a day off?”

“I’m security officer Sabrina Brice, and I haven’t had a day off since I started.” Sabrina wasn’t complaining. Because the overtime she has been racking up was going to help her catch up with her bills.

“When did you start Ms. Brice?” Gina was going to need her accounting firm to go through these companies books and find out who hasn’t been paid and how much they were owed.

“July first, ma’am. I was just turning my timesheet in.”

“Take two days off, before going back to your site.” Gina was going to make sure someone covered this woman’s site.

“Ma’am, there’s no one else to cover my site. That’s why I’ve been working there for two weeks straight.” Sabrina didn’t want to lose her site..

“Don’t worry Ms. Brice. I’ll make sure the site is covered until you come back. Take two days off and see me before you report back to your site.

“Ma’am. Do you want me to stay and tell the police what happened?” Sabrina was ready to drop.

“No, go ahead and go home. You look like your dead on your feet.”

“Yes, ma’am.” Sabrina heads down to her moped and head to her apartment.

When Sabrina pulls into her assigned parking space, she looks out towards the pool. She would love to go swimming for a while, but she was too tired. She drags herself up two flights of stairs and enters her apartment. She doesn’t make it to her bed, before she passes out on her sofa, still fully dressed.

Sabrina wakes up fourteen hours later feeling rested and hungry. She strips out of her uniform and tosses it in her dirty clothes hamper to be washed as she heads towards the bathroom and into the shower. As she is washing her body, she feels disgusted with the part of her body she hated a lot. She wishes there was a pill or some magical way to get rid of it.

After her shower, she dries off and put on some normal clothes. She pops some estrogen pills in her mouth. She traded the pills to kill herself with, for some strong estrogen pills. She didn’t know where the guy got them from, but the pills were extremely strong. She used some of the money from her last paycheck from her last job to buy her laptop back from the pawnshop. No one wanted the thing and the most they could ask for it was fifty dollars.

She hooks it up to her old television set and watches a movie she bought at a thrift store. She could see the television from her kitchen as she fixes some ramen noodles for her. It felt weird to her, that she wasn’t working tonight. She would already be on her way to work right now.

Once her Ramen noodles were ready. Sabrina heads into her living room and enjoys another movie. Sometime around midnight she walks outside and enjoys the night air. She sits on the steps that lead up to her floor. She watches as the clouds drifted across the sky. That was something she did at work when she wasn’t patrolling the construction site.

The site foremen informed her that they were going to be at that community for a while, building houses and apartment buildings. He told her that some investment company had bought his company Stonework’s Home Builders and gave them work. All their old pieces of equipment that needed to either be replaced or repaired had been taken care of.

She sits outside for at least an hour or so and heads back inside to read for a while. By five in the morning, she finishes folding what little laundry she had to do. She yawns and stretches as she changes into her nightclothes and crash.

Sabrina felt better and more energized after having two days off in a row. She went swimming and window shopping later. She didn’t have any money to eat out, but it felt nice to just get away from the site and enjoy herself.

When she arrived at the office to pick her paycheck up and to see Mrs. Bounty like she was instructed to do. It looked like a hurricane had hit the office. There were ceiling tiles missing, and wires were dangling down from the ceiling. There were also several other security officers there waiting to pick their checks up as well.

There was a short dark brown hair woman wearing a dress that showed off her curves holding a bunch of envelopes with slim pieces of pink paper attached to them. She was also wearing a shoulder holster with a gun in it.

Sabrina couldn’t tell what the gun was, but some of the red neck guys that worked for the company was giving the woman weird looks. There was another woman dressed in black fatigues, black boots and wearing a t-shirt that was tight against her chest. It had Chaos Private security contractor over the right-hand side of her chest.

As Sabrina continued to look around the office, she spotted at least more people dress like the woman. There was another woman that had to be the shortest person in the office standing nearby. The rest were guys you did look like you wanted to mess with or have come after you. One guy was wearing some sort of computer on his forearm.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, can I please have your attention?” The woman wearing the dress and shoulder holster looks at everyone present.
Sabrina looks toward the woman, along with everyone else. She could tell the woman and the others she spotted were watching them.

“Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Sammy Houston and I am Mrs. Bounty’s personal assistant. When I speak to you, I speak with her authority behind me. So, if I tell you something, you better take it to heart. Now, some of you are wondering why there are pink slips attached to your paychecks. Mrs. Bounty, myself and Captain Evans have watched and evaluated each security officer at your site. Some of you are doing an excellent job, some of you are skating on thin ice. The rest well let’s just say you need to go to barber school or find something else.
As I call your name, you’ll come up here and sign beside your name confirming you received your check. If you have a pink slip attached to the envelope, you’re to turn your badge and any company keys or equipment over before you leave.” Sammy starts calling names.

Sabrina watches as several people receive an envelope with pinks slips. Some of them were the huge red necks security officers she saw earlier. They were pissed and when they got in Mrs. Houston’s face. She just looked at them like she was ready to kill them, and they backed off.

When Sabrina hears her name called, she walks up to Mrs. Houston to receive her paycheck. She notices as she got closer to Mrs. Houston, she was wearing a wedding ring and could smell jasmine coming from her.

“Here’s your paycheck and your new schedule, Ms. Brice. You’ll be sharing your site with security officer Otis Cartwright. The two of you will be alternating days off. One week you’ll be working four days and the following three days.” Sabrina was shocked she wasn’t fired.

“I still have a job?” Sabrina looks into Sammy’s hazel eyes.

A smile appears on Sammy’s face “yes, you still have a job. Between what we observed and the glowing report we got from the site foreman.
You are one of our best security officers. There is one question I have for you. Did you receive any security training from the company?
Because I didn’t see it in your file.” Sammy, Captain Evans, and Gina had gone through everyone’s file to see who was armed and unarmed and to check their training.

“Only on my first few days, Mrs. Houston. The roving supervisor came and showed me what I needed to do and that was it.” Sabrina had been surprised that there hadn’t been more.

“I’m going to schedule you to come in on one of your days off and get mandatory training, so we can get you, your cards. Don’t worry, you’ll get paid for coming in.”

“Thank you, Mrs. Houston.” Sabrina walks away with a smile on her face.

She didn’t know that they had spoken with Mr. Mitchel down at the construction site. She heads towards the bank first to deposit her paycheck. She puts most of her money in her bank account and pulls some out to do some shopping. She stops at the grocery store to buy herself some dinner and a snack. Afterward, Sabrina heads to work.

Two Weeks Later:
Sabrina gets dress and fixes a dinner to take with her. The weather was threatening to rain later She arrives at work and the only person there, was the site foreman.

“Hi, Mr. Williamson, how much did you get done today?” Sabrina liked talking with Mr. Williamson.

“Hey, Sabrina. We got several new units done and they will be ready for interior design work by this weekend.”

“Cool, is there anything special I should know about for tonight?” Sabrina pulls the duty log out to write down anything Mr. Williamson told her.

“Just the same as last night. There’s nothing new to inform you about.”

“Okay, well you have a safe drive home, Mr. Williamson.” Sabrina walks outside with him and watches as he starts his truck up and drives off.
After Mr. Williamson leaves, Sabrina grabs her Maglite and start patrolling the construction site. She finds a few homes that hadn’t been locked and locked them. She makes notes on her small legal pad she started carrying with her. The training class she had to attend along with ten others. The instructor from Chaos Security had mentioned that she should carry a note pad with her, instead of trying to rely on her memory.

Sabrina looks around as she walks the site. Just as she gets back to the construction office, the sky opens, and rain comes down in buckets.
Sabrina watches from inside the construction site office as it pours. Her moped was covered up by an old tarp. She uses it when she is working at the site to conceal her moped.

The rest of the night goes by peaceful. She wasn’t looking forward to riding home in the light rain, but she manages to arrive without having any accidents. As she walks into her apartment and strips out of her wet clothes. As she walks into the bathroom to take a shower, someone was knocking on her front door.

Sabrina wraps a towel around her body and heads towards the door to see who it was. She peeks through the peephole and spots a couple at her door. She opens the door just a little bit “hello, can I help you?’

“Yes, I was wondering if we could use your phone. We came to see our friend, but no one is answering her door. I think she might be hurt.”

Sabrina looks at the woman and figures she would be okay. She glances towards the guy behind her and he just looked back at her.

“Let me put a robe on.” Sabrina tries to shut her door but couldn’t.

The next thing Sabrina feels is something sharp hitting her and electricity traveling throughout her body. She watches as her front door is kicked in and after that, everything goes black. She falls hard to the floor.

Lexus Security Company:
Carol arrives at work, and Mrs. Bounty’s Hummer was outside parked in its normal parking spot. There’s was a black Ford F-250 pick-up truck parked next to it, and a gray Toyota Sienna XLE. Carol knew the Ford f-250 belonged to Captain Evans and Sammy drove the gray Toyota Sienna. As she is walking into the office, the phone starts ringing.

“I got it.” Carol walks over to her desk.

As she puts her purse down and set her laptop bag next to her desk, she picks up the phone.

“Hello, Lexus Security company, Carol speaking how can I help you?”

“Hi, I’m Officer Hamilton with Butte police force, homicide division. I’m calling to inform you, one of your security officers has been attacked in her home. She’s been taken to Butte memorial and is in the intensive care unit.”

“Who is the security officer in questioned?” Carol pulls a legal pad over to her.

“A Sabrina Brice.”

“What happened to her, Officer Hamilton.” Carol knew Sabrina was a good person.

“We believe it is a hate crime. She was found unconscious and barely breathing when the paramedics showed up. Someone burned a swastika into her chest with a wire coat hanger.”

“Thank you, Officer Hamilton. I’ll let my boss know.” Carol ends the call.

“Who was that, Carol?” Sammy had heard a little bit of the conversion.

“That was Officer Hamilton with Butte police. One of our officers has been seriously attacked and is at Butte Memorial hospital.” Carol looks towards all three women.

“Which officer?” Gina looks at Carol for an answer.

“Security officer Sabrina Brice. She was attacked sometime early this morning, at her apartment and had a swastika burned into her chest.” Carol had everything written down.

“What is her condition?” Gina had stood up from behind her desk. She left Shade at home.

“She’s in critical condition.”

Gina looks at Sammy “get in touch with the detective the case has been assigned to and request all their notes and pictures.”

“Yes, ma’am.” Sammy pulls her cellphone out and starts making calls.

Gina looks at Captain Evans “get your team together and find the bastard or bastards responsible for attacking one of our officers.”

“You got it, boss.” Captain Evans had a smile on her face.

“Carol, who did Sabrina put down in case of emergency to call?”

“I’ll look it up, Mrs. Bounty. Also, I was thinking about sending flowers to her room.” Carol figures it would be a good gesture.

“That’s fine. I’m going to go and see her. Call me when you find out who is responsible.” Gina grabs her purse and heads towards her hummer.

“What do you want us to do with the person, once we find them?” Captain Evans looks towards Gina.

“What do you think I want to be done to them? No, one attacks one of our people. “Gina walks out of the office door towards her hummer.

Carol looks at the other women “does that mean what I think it does?”

“Yes, it does. Mrs. Bounty looks after her employee’s.” Captain Evans sends a text out to all her teammates.

Butte Memorial:
Gina heads towards Butte Memorial. The hospital staff there was starting to know her by name. She brought Arabella to the same hospital the night her father assaulted her. She parks her hummer and walk-in. Two security guards stop her.

“Where’s your wolf, Mrs. Bounty?”

“He’s at home, Harry. I’m here to check on one of my employee’s.” Gina got an earful from the director of the hospital about bring Cadmus in that night she brought Arabella.

“What’s the person’s name you are coming to see?”

“Sabrina Brice. She’s an employee of mine.” Gina brushes a loose loc of her hair back away from her face.

“She’s up on the fourth floor in the intensive care unit.”

“Thanks.” Gina heads towards the elevator and takes it up to the fourth floor.

She walks up to the nurse’s station “which unit is Sabrina Brice in?”

The nurse behind the counter “she’s in unit 4, but only family is allowed to see her.”

Gina ignores the nurse and heads towards the unit and walks inside. She stops and looks at Sabrina as she laid in bed hooked up to all sorts of machines. Whoever attacked her, did a number on her.

“Ma’am, if you aren’t family. You’re going to have to leave.” Nurse Lemon was given strict orders to only allow family to unit 4.

Gina looks at Nurse Lemon “I’m her employer and she has no family that cares for her. So, that makes me responsible for her.”

“Who are you?” Nurse Lemon didn’t know who this oriental woman was.

“Gina Bounty.” A smile appears on her face.

Nurse Lemon just looks at Gina “I don’t care if you are the Queen of England. Only, family members are allowed in her room.”

“And like I said before, she has no family that cares for her. Do what you can for her and let me know when she wakes up, please.” Gina produces a black card with a wolf head on it.

“I will.” Nurse Lemon accepts the card.

Gina takes one more look at Sarina before she leaves. She was bound and determined to capture the people responsible. She heads down towards her hummer and back to the office.

Round-Up Bar:
“You should have seen the homosexual we had our fun with. It squealed like a pig as I cut its penis and testicles off and force them inside its mouth. Then we broke each of its fingers, toes and sliced its stomach opened. Get this, the homosexual was a rent a pig. “Gloria takes a deep swig from the bottle of beer in her hands.

“I marked that bitch good as well. There’s no way it survived what we did to it.” Henry, Gloria’s boyfriend was proud of the beating they gave the faggot.

The next thing everyone hears are explosives going off, as the walls and doors to the place are shattered. A group of black-armored individuals comes storming in.

“GET ON THE FLOOR NOW!” As the group of armor individuals surrounds them.

Gina looks at the group of skinheads and white supremacist kneeling on the floor. She wanted the two that tried to kill her employee.

“Bring the two responsible for trying to kill Sabrina. As for the rest, process them for jail. Judge Henderson has approved their arrest.”

Two hugely bald guys that had been part of the white supremacist group stand up and remove Gloria and Henry from the group of people. They bring them up to Gina, as the rest of her people secure the others.

“Where are you taking us, bitch.” Gloria spits at Gina.

“Somewhere, where you will never be coming back from.” An evil smile appears on Gina’s face.

She was pulling a page from her father’s playbook and was going to introduce them to the wolves. Gina and Captain Evans climb into Gina’s hummer and head towards the Bounty ranch. Instead of going up the main driveway, Gina takes the fire road that leads to the back of the property. When she pulls up, her and Captain Evans noticed all the wolves the Bounty family currently were raising were waiting.

“I hope you two are good runners.” As Gina, opens the hummer door and pulls Gloria out. Captain Evans pulls Henry out.

“I’m giving you a five-minute head start.” As Gina releases them.

Gloria and Henry look at the wolves and notice they weren’t your stand size wolves.

“I would start running or you’ll lose your advantage.”

Gloria and Henry start running the way they came. They were running as fast as they could down the fire road. Henry was ahead of Gloria as they ran.

Gina waits five minutes and looks at her father and sister. She knew Julia was still recovering from the bullet wounds to her abdomen. The young man and girl she adopted were with her husband and daughter.

“Let the wolves go.”

Gina, Julia and Jack watch as the wolves run off. Gina knew the people that almost killed Sabrina didn't stand a chance against the wolves. She didn't feel sorry for them at all.

Screams could be heard a few minutes later as the wolves find their prey and kill them. Gina didn’t feel bad for the two people. They hurt an innocent person, just trying to make a living.

Six Days Later:
Sabrina opens her eyes and wonders where she was. She couldn’t move, and she noticed she had tubes and such going into her mouth.

“Easy, Mrs. Brice. You were seriously injured.” Nurse Cunnings had heard the alarms going off that were attached to Sabrina.

Nurse Cunnings manages to calm Sabrina down. Nurse Cunnings checks Sabrina’s vital and once she is done. Sabrina falls back asleep.

Several hours later, Sabrina opens her eyes and see Gina Bounty sitting by her bed. She wonders what she is doing here.

“Well, welcome back from the dead. We didn’t know how long you were going to stay unconscious.” Gina could tell from just looking at Sabrina, she was confused.

Sabrina looks at Gina and tries to remember what happened to her. The last thing she could recall was opening her door to a bunch of strangers. After that, she can’t remember a thing.

Gina squeezes Sabrina’s hand “you get better.”

One Week Later:
Sabrina looks at all the flowers, stuff animals, balloons and get-well cards lining her hospital room. Everybody she knew and didn’t know came to see how she was doing. The guys from the construction company dropped by to see her as well. The injuries she sustained were extensive and it was going to take a long time for her to recover from.

Mrs. Bounty told her not to worry about her job. It would still be available to her. Also, she wasn’t to worry about her bills and such. The insurance company that the company has will be covering all her expensive until she can go back to work. As for money for her, she’ll be collecting money from another insurance policy that she had signed up for.

Sabrina found out that, because of the damage done to her by Gloria, she finally had what she always wanted. She would have liked to have gotten the procedure a different way, considering how much pain she received.

Sabrina looks towards the door when there was a knock on it “come in.”

Gina walks in with a vase of flowers in her hands. A smile appears on her face when she looks at Sabrina.

“Well, you look better. I thought you might like these.” Gina sets the vase down near the window, along with the other flowers.

“Thanks.” Sabrina watches Gina as she came over and sat next to her.

“So, here’s why I came to speak with you. I can’t put you out in the field until your physically fit to go. However, if you want to work in the office until your physical therapy is done, you can.” Gina figures Sabrina could do office work until she was better.

Her sister hated being stuck in the office all day at the police station. Until the bullet wounds to her abdomen were healed, she was riding a desk. Sabrina would be in the same shape.

“Can I think about it, once I’m healed?” Sabrina wouldn’t mind working the office for a while.

“Yes, you can. I’m going to be around a little bit longer. I must leave for a few days. If you need anything, just call this number and someone from either my family or from chaos Security will handle the request.” Gina hands Sabrina a business card, like the one she gave the Nurse on her first day.

“Thanks, Mrs. Bounty.” Sabrina accepts the card.

“You’re Welcome.” Gina gets up and leaves the room.

Sabrina watches her leave. A smile appears on her face as she realizes that she made the right choice of not killing herself. She was also happy that she had a boss that cared about her employees and people that cared about her.
