  “Jake and I have been talking since you’ve been in a coma. We learned a lot from one another, and we’re good now.” Rico explained.

  “Yeah there was a lot of things I didn’t know about, and well in all honesty you know I wasn’t really planning on staying in town. I know I loved you, but I couldn’t offer you the things you needed. Rico here and willing to do it, but he knows if he hurts you he has me to answer too.” Jake stated.

  “Like I told you Jake, she’ll be taken care of by me. I won’t ever hurt her. She’s in good hands.” Rico told him.

  “So did she say yes?” Jake asked.

  “Yes, I just got done asking her.” Rico said.

  “Congratulations you two, I’m really happy for you.” He said.

  “Thank you Jake, really for everything.” Lalena said.

  “So when is the wedding?” Jake asked.

  “Whenever the lady is ready, I’m ready.” Rico commented.

  “Oh I don’t know I would do it now if we could.” Lalena said.

  “I’m the mayor of course it’s possible. Jake do you mind being my best man?” Rico turned to him.

  “Of course I’ll be your best man.” Jake said.

  Rico made a few calls and shortly there was a priest in the room.

  Lalena couldn’t believe this was happening; she pinched herself during the ceremony.

  “I now pronounce you husband and wife.” The priest said.

  Rico kissed Lalena and whispered, “We’ll have to wait for our honeymoon celebration until you’re out of here.”

  She shivered in anticipation of that day. “When will I be allowed to leave?” She asked.

  “We’ll ask your doctors a little later on today when they stop in.” Rico told her.

  “I’m so happy to be home.” Lalena smiled as they walked in the door. “I wish it would have been sooner though.” She admitted.

  “I was lucky to get it cut down to 4 more days stay. They wanted to keep you at least a week.” Rico laughed. “Don’t worry; the first place we are going is to the bedroom. I’m going to enjoy making love to my wife.” He said seductively.

  “I’m looking forward to it too.” She smiled.

  He picked her up and carried her over the threshold. He didn’t stop and headed straight up the stairs and stopped in the bedroom. “My lovely wife, I would now like to ravish you for the rest of the day!” Rico stated.

  She looked into his eyes and saw the passion that sparked in them. She sighed and took her clothes off.

  He watched her the whole time she undressed. He smiled at her, you are so beautiful.

  “Even with these scars, you still think I’m beautiful?” She asked, looking down at the scars from the car door that had hit her on the side.

  “Your beauty is here.” He said and pointed to her heart. “I love you Lalena.” He kissed her.

  She stuck her tongue into his mouth and attacked his tongue with hers. She moaned as he pushed her back onto the bed.

  Rico looked at her body and then lowered his head to her sex. He smelled her juices and lightly ran his finger up her slit. Lalena arched her back with pleasure.

  He pushed his finger into her slowly and licked her clit lightly. She moaned loudly. He sucked her clit into his mouth and nibbled on it. She screamed out as a climax shot through her.

  Rico licked up the juices that flowed from her pussy from her orgasm. He came up and kissed her on the mouth. His cock spread her lips and entered her love cave. They moved together slowly.

  “I love you Mrs. Zess.” He said as he pushed into her again.

  “I love you too Mr. Zess.” Lalena purred.

  He kept good on his promise of making love to her for hours. They fell apart exhausted and spent hours later. Rico pulled her close to him. “I never want you away from me. I really thought I lost you.”

  “I’m here baby, don’t worry I’m not going anywhere.” She kissed his chest and ran her fingers through his chest hair.

  Chapter 10

  The trial for Raymond Stock and Chad Browning was starting today. Lalena sat in the courtroom. Raymond Stock had almost killed her and she wanted to see him go to jail.

  Jake was on the stand testifying right now. She listened intently as he told the story that Raymond had shared with him that one night. Lalena couldn’t believe that this man had killed his wife and fed her to the pigs.

  He was a big man in town, a man who had it all. He could have easily found another wife.

  Stock got up on the stand, even though his attorney had suggested he not go up.

  The story he weaved was completely different from Rico’s story, that he had told Lalena the day before. He claimed that Rico had slept with his wife. Stock said that because of Rico he wasn’t able to be with his wife, who he loved very much.

  The DA got up and questioned Stock who stuck to his story. But there was far too much evidence against stock, when Chad Browning testified. He had been given a deal to roll on his child hood friend. If he told the truth he wouldn’t have to go to jail.

  Browning had been a cop for years now and had put several men in jail. It would be the jail he would be sent to if he was convicted.

  “Please state your name for the jury.” The lawyer said.

  “I’m Chad David Browning.” Chad said.

  “What is your relationship with Raymond Stock?” The lawyer questioned.

  “I’ve known Ray for all my life; we grew up beside one another.” Chad answered.

  “Did you help hide the fact that Raymond Stock killed his wife four years ago?”

  “Yes I did. I made up a story about talking to her in Florida, but I knew he had beaten her to death. He had a problem with hitting her; I would always suppress any reports that came in about it.” Chad stated.

  “Do you know if Raymond Stock was driving the car that hit the mayor’s car on February 13, of this year?”

  “Yes it was his car. There was a report that came in from an eye witness. I didn’t report it.” Chad said.

  “Thank you Mr. Browning that will be all.”

  “Judge I’d like to approach the bench.” Stock’s attorney stood up and said.

  “Please come up.” The Judge said.

  The two attorneys walked up to the bench. “Sir we’d like to plea bargain.” Stock’s attorney said.

  “No we got him convicted I’m not offering any deal.” The DA answered.

  “You heard his answer.” The Judge said. “Go back to your seats.”

  “The state rests.” The DA said when he got back to the table.

  “Do you have any more witnesses?” The Judge asked Stock’s attorney.

  “No sir.” He shook his head.

  The orders were given to the jury, who only took ten minutes with their decision.

  “How do you find Mr. Stock on the charges of attempted murder?” The Judge asked.

  “Guilty.” The foreman of the jury answered.

  “How do you find Mr. Stock on the charges of first degree murder in the death of Shelly Stock?”

  “Guilty.”

  “Mr. Stock I hereby sentence you to life in prison. With an added 20 years for the attempted murder charge.” The Judge announced and slammed the gavel on the bench.

  Lalena hugged Rico in the gallery. “Oh thank goodness. You know that Sally had a feeling that it was him the whole time. I should have listened to her.” She told him.

  “It is okay honey, I didn’t think it was him either. Even with the story I knew about him.” Rico answered.

  THE END

  ACTION STAR

  Chapter One

  Sara Albright, was only 22 years old and was running a farm and watching over her siblings. It wasn’t the life she had ever imagined for herself. But after her Ma and Pa had been in the accident, she had no choice.

  She sighs heavily as she cleans up after her two siblings. Henry, age 16, and Sally, age 17. They didn’t ask for their pa
rents to be killed either, none of them had ever thought of a life without them around. Well, eventually, but not until a much later time.

  The shock of it all still was fresh in her mind and heart. She would forever miss her parents; it had left a huge hole in her heart. But it hadn’t been one that she had any time to focus on.

  Immediately the tasks of everyday life had been pushed on her. She didn’t have a choice, she would be the one who had to feed her siblings and do it all. But Sara knew how bad the situation was for them, she was on the verge of losing it all. What would happen to her family then? Sara honestly didn’t know her family had been the only one who accepted her anymore. Ever since she had stood beside Elizabeth, the rest of the community here looked at her as an outcast.

  Sara didn’t blame them, after all what had she expected? She was Amish and knew how her community would react. As soon as everyone had heard about the unwed Elizabeth’s impending child, they had turned on her quickly. Not Sara though, she had known Elizabeth since they had both been young children.

  She knew that Elizabeth hadn’t done this as a betrayal to their religion. She had just enjoyed rumspringa too much. But that was the time they were supposed to have fun. Not that Sara would have gone and had sex, but her friend had. How could she turn her back on her?

  Elizabeth had not admitted to that though, she had told everyone that Seth had raped her. It wasn’t true of course, but Sara still stood by her friend. It had cost her everything, well almost everything. At least she hadn’t been kicked out of the community. That was just because when the truth had come out, Sara had played dumb. But she knew people looked at her differently. She knew they were sure she had known the truth. After all her and Elizabeth were almost inseparable since they had been little. In fact she was sure they all thought Sara had gone and had sex during rumspringa too. Though she hadn’t, she couldn’t plead her case, no one ever listened.

  Her friend had left shortly after that to parts unknown. But Sara had been stuck there, and then after a short two weeks her parent’s had passed away. Numb, but smart enough, she realized that no help would come from anyone in the community. She had to solve this on her own, but how?

  She heard a knocking on the door; it must be someone who saw my sign for vegetables for sale. She was happy, that would mean money coming in finally!

  She opened the door to a man who was definitely not Amish. He was dressed in ripped blue jeans and a t-shirt with some sort of cartoon superhero on it. She had seen outsiders wearing them in town before.

  “Who are you?” She asked, immediately leery.

  “Yeah, well you don’t know me obviously. But I have a proposition, wait do you use like our money?” He stopped and looked waiting for her to answer.

  Sara was still shocked looking at him. “What? Yes we use money, how do you think we buy things?” She chuckled lightly.

  “Okay, then I have a great deal for you. I can change your life, with only two weeks of your time spent. I can make you rich.” He explained.

  “Well sir, first off I don’t know your name? However, how rich can you make me?” Sara admitted she was interested. If it would mean being able to keep the farm, and her now much smaller family together, she was all for it.

  “Oh I’m sorry, my name is John Austin. I’m the agent for Ben North. Have you ever heard of him?” He asked.

  Sara had seen things while in town about Ben North many times. She had always thought how attractive he had been in those pictures. “Yes, but only a little bit.”

  “He is playing a new role, and needs to learn about Amish culture. So what I would like you to do is help him out. Let him come into your home, and teach him everything. This is a very important role to him, and we are willing to offer you ample compensation for your time and effort.” John explained.

  “Well, he would have to come in as a cousin. We’d have to try and make it possible that the community would believe it. See I’m already quite the outcast here. But bringing in a man, who isn’t related, no they would tar and feather me for sure. I’d be kicked out and have nowhere left to go, my siblings, I don’t know if they would send them with me. I have no clue what would happen, but it isn’t something I want to experience.” Sara explained.

  “Of course, we will follow your rules. Aren’t you interested in how much we will be paying you?” He asked.

  Sara realized she hadn’t found out what he was offering. She realized it was because she was thinking of what Ben North looked like. He was rugged and very handsome. “Of course I do, how much are you offering me?”

  “We will give you $250,000.”

  She sat up surprised by the huge amount of money. If she used that correctly, it could keep the farm running for years. “When will he be coming?”

  “Is next month okay?”

  “Sure.”

  “Good, see you in a month. Thank you very much. I’ll bring the money that day when I drop him off.” John shook her hand and said goodbye.

  Sara plopped down on the sofa. Her life would soon change for the better and she would have Ben North in her house!

  Chapter Two

  Ben North looked out of the windows as they drove through Lancaster, Pennsylvania. “What kind of world is this? I’ve not seen one oriental restaurant, let alone a Thai food one. What in the world has John talked him into? How in the world will he survive here?” He talked to the driver.

  He heard the man chuckle lightly, “No sir you won’t find much choices in food here. But you’ll really enjoy what they have to offer. The Amish food is something that many enjoy around here, and pay quite a pretty penny for.”

  Ben looked around more; he couldn’t even imagine what this was going to be like. In a slight panic he pushed the button on his phone and calls John.

  “John, how the hell will I do this? I mean seriously, is she going to take me around all the other people? I don’t think I’ve learned enough to pull off really being Amish.” Ben questioned the man quickly.

  “Look, you want to do a great job on this role right? You will have to absorb as much about the culture as you can. The good news is that you won’t have too many visitors; she is kind of considered an outcast there. It was why I picked her out of all the choices. She also wants to make sure you don’t blow your cover, so she’ll watch how much interaction you have with everyone. If they find out something, they will banish her from their community.” John explained.

  “What? John, why didn’t you tell me that before I agreed to this? What if I blow it for her? How do you think I’d feel knowing I got some girl banished from her whole community?” Ben could feel his blood pressure rising. It was so much more pressure on him, he didn’t think he liked it one bit.

  “I didn’t tell you because you wouldn’t have agreed to it. But Ben this is what you need to pull this off. You’ll have lived the life and you’ll know exactly how they would react. You’re sure to bring home the Oscar for this one, no doubt about it. But in order to do that, you had to go. Tell me Ben, if I would have told you about the chance she was taking. If I would have said, look Ben if you get found out, her and her brother and sister may be kicked out of the community. Would you have agreed to do it?” John asked.

  “Hell no I wouldn’t have agreed. It’s not just her but two other people? John, you’ve put me in some sort of spot, I’m just thinking of calling it all off.” Ben said.

  “Look Ben, the kid really needs the money. Her farm is going to be lost if she doesn’t get it. Plus I took the money to her yesterday. She’s got it already. You should have seen her face. Seriously, I think we just saved her family with this offer.” John explained.

  Ben felt his heart melt a bit. “Oh shit. Alright, I’ll do it, but I’m not going to like it one bit.” He cut off the call without saying goodbye.

  The thing was John knew him quite well, he knew what would make Ben feel bad for Sara Albright. That was his hostess name. He was to be her cousin Ben from out of town.

  He knew John had pic
ked this girl on purpose. John had most likely checked out everything he could about her. Then approached her and made her an offer she couldn’t refuse. Not if she wanted to ensure her family farm was to continue. It was a dirty ploy, but it had worked. Ben knew that John was right about this role.

  Ben North had been a big name in the movies for the past 7 years now. But he had always played an action hero. He had gone to John one afternoon a few months back and asked him to find him something different.

  “What do you mean different?” John had asked him.

  “I want a more serious role. A drama, something that will make people see that I can do much more than action. I’m tired of the same old story line. I want to spread my wings, and while doing that, I want to prove how skilled I am.” Ben had told him.

  John had looked at him, and studied Ben closely. “Well I just got one in yesterday, I was thinking of passing on it, at least for you.”

  “What is it about?” Ben had asked.

  “It’s an Amish love story, well, more of an Amish betrayal. But it opens as a love story; the husband finds out that his wife has been sleeping around on him. You would have to pull off that you were Amish, and well its high drama. The story is pretty decent, I have to admit.” John explained.

  “Let me take it and read it.” Ben had gotten the script and taken it right home that day.

  He had flipped through the pages, getting into the story, and even seeing how he would play the part. He loved it, but wasn’t sure if he could play the part. It would mean a lot of work on his part.

  “I’ll do it, sign me up now.” Ben had called John and told him. “But somehow I have to learn about the Amish culture. Put me in it if you can, so I can absorb everything. I want to play this part so well that people will think I used to be Amish.” Ben stated.

  “I’ll get on it.” John had hung up the phone. No more than two weeks later he had called Ben with the details of his stay.

  At that time Ben had been thrilled. But driving through Lancaster had tampered that excitement quite a bit. Now when he looked out he saw they were in the country. By the bumps in the road in figured they were on an old dirt road.
