All the President's Men 2: Tyler's Tasty Treat

Holding his stance and listening, he waited.

“Where the fuck do you think they went? There’s no way they got out of here.” He heard voices approaching the room he was in. Hoping they would look there first and not the room Tammy was in, he waited.

Then he heard sirens and the police.

“Shit, get the fuck out. We’ll come back.” He heard from right outside the door. There was the sound of more crashing and then silence.

The next sound he heard was, “Police, come on out, hands up.”

Tyler stashed the gun and opened the door identifying himself. Giving the police his ID he quickly briefed them on the situation and went to check on Tammy.

When Tammy heard the door open she screamed his name, jumping from the tub and running for him.

Launching herself at him, she plastered his face with tiny kisses, glad he was safe.

She wrapped herself around him and buried her face in his shoulder. Tyler carried her to the bed, not wanting to take her out to see the mess until he checked it himself.

“Shh, baby, you’re fine and so am I. The police want to ask you a few questions, and I’m going to check the rest of the house. I’ll be right back.” He needed to call Derek and give him the all clear and get the picture from his phone to the cops. He also wanted to see if Dillon had found anything yet.

Quickly surveying the damage, he grabbed his phone and headed back to Tammy.

The police finished quickly with her and promised to increase patrols for the time being. Tyler was busy on the phone. He needed the door fixed and his security updated now instead of waiting on the things he had ordered.

Derek suggested they stay at the club for a few days until Tyler’s condo could be secured. That idea sounded better to Tyler than a hotel. He knew the security at the club would be top notch. There were a couple suites in the club that were used for out of town visitors, and Tyler had stayed in one once. The suites rivaled top hotel suites, with the added plus of BDSM equipment. It wasn’t the way he had planned on introducing Tammy to the club, but it was the best solution for now.

Giving the police his contact information, he gathered the things he and Tammy would need and bundled her into his truck, not telling her where they were going, only that it was some place safe.

Chapter Twelve

Tyler parked in the back of the club and took Tammy in through the back door. He wasn’t ready for her to see the club floor yet. He wanted a chance to talk to her and prepare her for what she was likely to see.

Leading her to one of the two suites, he dropped the things he had grabbed and ordered some food. There were several restaurants close by that would deliver. He then called club security to let them know he was there, what was going on, and to ask them to bring the food when it arrived.

Finally turning to Tammy, she stood where he had left her, crying in shock. He had hustled her out of the house with very little explanation and had been so busy on the phone, that he hadn’t talked to her very much except to hurry her along.

Sitting in one of the big chairs, he pulled her into his arms and held her, letting her cry for a few minutes.

Once she started to calm down, he pulled her away from him and started planting little kisses all over her face, until he finally took her lips.

Thrusting his tongue inside her mouth, he swept it through her, taking all she was giving until they were both breathless.

“I was so scared for you, baby. I hated leaving you alone in there. I’m so sorry I wasn’t there for you,” he told her, pulling slightly away from her.

“Oh, Tyler, I was so scared and I heard all that noise, and I didn’t know where you were or what was happening. Then I didn’t remember locking the door, and the only place to hide was the tub, and I didn’t have a weapon and…oh my God.” Tammy started crying again.

“I know baby, and I should have told you this before, but I didn’t think we’d need to use it so soon. The bathroom also serves as a safe room. By hitting any number of hidden triggers inside the house or on my phone or on my keychain remote, I can activate it and that room becomes a fortress that only I or Derek can access. When the repairs are complete and the new security installed and we go home, I will show you how to activate it and how to get out if you are locked in there. But if you ever do get locked in there, I don’t want you coming out unless I or Derek give you the all-clear. I will give you a catchphrase so that you know it is one of us before you come out. I have that room connected to my phone so that if I am not home, I can call you anytime you are locked inside, and Derek can do the same. Do you understand?”

“Yes, I do. Why would you need a room like that?” Tammy’s concern was that he was in danger.

“Hone

y, in my job I meet all kinds of people and even though it’s usually pretty boring work, every now and then there can be trouble and it never hurts to be careful. Today was a perfect example of that. Thank God I had some place safe to hide you.” As he said the last word he pulled her tighter to him, realizing how close he came to losing her.

“Thank you for keeping me safe. I was so scared. I don’t know what I’m going to do. Now that those men know where I’m at, it’s not safe for anyone I know. I should leave” She was starting to cry again. It really wasn’t fair. For the first time in her life, she could say she was happy and now it was all being taken away from her again.

Spending time with Derek and Dottie had made her feel normal. That was what people did. They spent time with friends, they went out to eat, they went for walks, they sat in the park and now she couldn’t do any of those things again. She was going to have to hide or run away.

Tyler felt the tension in her body and pulled back to look deep into her eyes. “Baby, you’re not alone any more. I will protect you. We will be safe. The house will be a fortress when I’m done, and we can stay here for as long as we need to.”
