Chapter #4Sam and the Esoteric Detective by: Theday   Officer Sam Liu was a 15 year veteran on the force. He was 5'10" and about 190 pounds. The son of Chinese immigrants he was teased at school for being chubby and for his home cooked meals. His parents sent him to school with pork belly and pig ears and children being children and Sam being a little chubby kid would tease him. Sam the Ham was a frequent one. Pork Belly too. As Sam grew into a teenage years his body dismorphia took it's toll and he did extreme dieting and exercise and lost his chubby appearance and slimmed down and joined the track team.
His physical training eventually lead him to become a cop and fifteen years after he graduated from high school he ran into some old classmates who saw him in uniform and once again he was Sam the Ham to them. He booked them for drunk driving but the damage was already done. Sam felt like all that hard work was for nothing and he was still being called a pig. He gave up on his strict diet and soon the weight started to pile back on.
He was now 230 pounds after years of starving himself. He was allowing himself to indulge. When his friends asked what was happening he just sighed and said he was getting older and his metabolism was slowing down. It was true, he was getting closer to 40 years old and a few strands of grey were starting to poke through his jet black hair he usually kept very short.
After years of starving himself Sam was actually starting to maybe enjoy his larger side. He didn't feel like a bloated pig like he did back in elementary school here at the Pancione police department. He was probably still on the slimmer side of the scale here. There was a very body positive feel to the station. Officers boasting of massive meals they had, food recommendations all the time, even the chief was a really big man.
"Officer Liu," came the commanding tone of Lieutenant Chris Thompson, who was a few years younger and a few sizes smaller than Sam.
"Yes sir," Sam said sitting up in his chair at his desk and looking at the slim lieutenant.
"You are being reassigned to surveillance," Lieutenant Thompson responded," You're to meet with Detective Wells."
"Coop?" Sam asked surprised.
Detective Wells had quite the reputation at the station. He was a gifted officer and solved all of his cases but he was pretty idiosyncratic guy, which is how he got his nickname of Coop after Kyle MacLachlan's character Special Agent Dale Cooper from Twin Peaks, but Detective Wells was even more handsome and could do modeling. Sam had never worked with Detective Wells yet but saw him in passing around the station. Sam also knew that a couple of Detective Wells partners had left the force after working with him, one even leaving for Tibet which only added to his nickname of Coop because of his esoteric methods.
"Yes, Detective Wells," Lieutenant Thompson answered," Now finish up whatever you're working on and head down to car port number five for orientation on the surveillance van. Detective Wells will meet you here tomorrow morning. Here's the briefing."
Lieutenant Thompson handed Sam a folder and Sam read it and found that there was evidence that Frank Tenebrae, the head of the Tenebrae crime family, was using a few of his businesses to move drugs through the city and they needed hard proof of this. Frank Tenebrae was a highly influential man, who could run for mayor and probably win if he wanted to. Sam knew there was rumours that a few of the officers at the station were on his payroll and worried that this could be a dangerous mission. But Sam knew it was probably just an observe and report situation. Sit and watch a place with one of the most handsome men in the whole station. And here Sam was at the highest weight he had ever been. His pants were getting tight against his waist and his shirts were starting to strain against his softening belly.
Sam finished up his parking fine ticket report and headed down to the car port to learn about the van he would be calling his office for the next little while. Sam was pretty decent with technology since his parents were never one to adopt to computers, making it easy for Sam to hide looking up gay porn as a teen. He was still called home to help his parents with setting up any new piece of equipment. Every time he went home his parents looked shorter and rounder. His mother always asking if he was eating enough, even with his belly slowly growing before then.
The next day Sam arrived at the station and made his way down to the surveillance van to see Detective Wells leaning up against the side of the van and Sam's heart sank a bit. Detective Wells looked even more handsome. Detective Wells was about the same age as Sam but he was easily be considered to be tall, dark and handsome. He had to be at least 6'2" tall with dark hair with a slight wave to it, he was built under his suit. He wore a black suit with a blue button up shirt with a black tie. His badge clipped to his belt.
"Officer Lui," Detective Wells said in a deep masculine voice as he pushed off the van with a foot. His voice sent shivers down Sam's spine.
"Yes," Sam said feeling nervous and starting to sweat a little and extended his hand," That's me."
"Nice to meet you, finally," Detective Wells said as his strong, large hand grabbed Sam's and gave him a handshake," Glad you could make it. Heard good things about you."
"Thank you sir," Sam said feeling himself blush feeling so close to this handsome man and him knowing about Sam," I have heard good thing about you as well."
"Well here's hoping for another successful operation to add to our resumes," Detective Wells said letting go of Sam's hand," Ready to begin?"
Sam nodded and said," Yep."
The two got into the van and headed to their surveillance spot.
So.. what's going to happen?   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
