But Not Foreseen

by BJ Bourg

  “The only patty-caking that Roy did was on Jenny and on the tent in which Alice was sleeping,” I explained. “Shannon patty-caked everyone—she was everywhere. Her DNA was also on the shotgun that patty-caked her dad, and rounds from her gun patty-caked the man in the blue Dodge Ram. Oh, and your quick action not only saved Baylor’s life, but you also saved the lives of Nicky and Regina Hines.”

  Amy smiled as she stared off. I noticed Baylor’s hand slip under the tabletop. He must’ve squeezed Amy’s hand, because she turned and looked into his brown eyes. Her face immediately lit up and she gave him a light kiss on the lips. I know my own face lit up, too. That boy had not left her side the entire time she was in the hospital. If that didn’t spell loyalty, then nothing did.

  “Okay,” Susan said, “that’s enough about Amy and Baylor’s first date. Who else likes Clint’s turkey?”

  BJ Bourg is a former professional boxer and a lifelong martial artist who hails from the swamps of Louisiana. A thirty-year veteran of law enforcement, he has worked as a patrol cop, a detective sergeant, a police academy instructor, and the chief investigator for a DA’s office. He has successfully investigated all types of felony cases and has trained hundreds of law enforcement officers in self-defense, firearms, and criminal operations. He retired in October of 2020 to pursue his boyhood dream of becoming a fulltime writer.

  Throughout his career, Bourg has served on many specialized units such as SWAT, the Explosives Search Team, and the Homicide Response Team. He founded his agency’s sniper program and served as its leader for nearly a decade. A graduate of seven basic and advanced sniper schools, he deployed as the primary sniper on dozens of call-outs, including barricaded subjects, hostage rescue operations, and fugitive apprehensions. He also served as the sniper instructor for the 2001 Louisiana Tactical Police Officers Association’s Conference.

  Bourg has been the recipient of numerous awards, including Top Shooter at an FBI Sniper School, the Distinguished Service Medal, and Certificates of Commendation for his work as a homicide detective. He is a public speaker and has also written dozens of articles for law enforcement magazines, covering a wide range of topics such as defensive tactics, sniper deployment, suspect interrogation, report writing, and more. Above all else, he is a father and a husband, and the highlight of his life is spending time with his beautiful wife and wonderful children. Nowadays, he splits his time between Lafourche Parish, Louisiana and Tellico Plains, Tennessee while working on his next novel—whatever it might be.
