Mermaid Thighs . Chapter 15 : Midnight Call You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have . - Cayla Mills Bunny had two phones . Her personal phone and the emergency phone . There were no names to any of the phone numbers stored in the emergency phone . Initials and an eight digit date followed by special characters . Each entry represented a woman , child or family hiding from an abuser . No matter where she was , what she was doing , when that phone rang , she answered . She was sleeping between the two men . Her head rested on Jaxon's shoulder and Ty was starfished behind her . She and Jaxon were both snugglers . Ty tried , but once he was asleep , he had a tendency to take up as much space as possible . His most common position being the starfish . The emergency phone started ringing and before she could reach over Ty , he was handing it to her . Jaxon got up and went downstairs to fix her a cup of coffee . She had her advocacy uniform set aside to pull on in an event like this . Black denim jeans , dark blue sheriff's department polo and slip on boots . Two pairs of socks , because you never knew how long you might be on your feet . Holster and magazine clips were already on her plain black leather belt . They would remain under her advocacy center jacket , out of sight and hopefully not needed . She had drawn her weapon more times in the three years she worked for the center than in the six she was full time deputy . Bunny accepted the coffee and kissed Jaxon goodbye as she rushed out the door . Both men knew that her job was important . She was frequently the lifeline in an emergency . They each tried to support her as much as they could . Bunny knew that Jax would take his naked ass back upstairs and go back to bed with Ty. It was not the first time that she had left them . There had even been a few times that she left during the middle of sex . Luckily , both her men were bi . She stopped by the office and grabbed a file and two go bags from the security guard . The IGYS guards that worked here knew what was housed in this building and the other buildings that they worked at . They were sworn to secrecy just as the other employees were . " Hey , Miss Bunny . " The armed guard greeted her as she came inside . " Hi , Phoebe . " She smiled at the other woman as she placed two duffle bags and a file folder on the counter . Bunny opened the thin file and scanned it . 1/3 C 2:55 pm P PPD . Chapter 15 : Midnight Call " Emergency placement ? " Phoebe asked . " Yes , ma'am . " Bunny replied . " Can you make arrangements for them to go to location four twelve ? " Phoebe nodded and handed over the keys to an unmarked advocacy SUV . Any time something like this was done , it was with utmost security and safety for everyone involved . The locations had specific contacts and codes . Although Phoebe would make the arrangements , she did not know where that location was . Quickly , she sent a message to the contact listed as Four Twelve . It did not take long for her computer to chime with a response . " Four twelve is confirmed for one and one . Kitchen and pantry will be stocked within thirty minutes . " " Thanks . " Bunny smiled as she placed her credentials in her pocket . She handed over her personal phone , car keys and wallet . Once everything was secured , she tucked the file under her arm and grabbed the bags . Bunny went out the side entrance and into a Sally port garage . Once she was settled in the blacked out SUV , she drove out of the garage , making sure the large door marked maintenance , closed behind her . From the outside the Family Advocacy Center looked like a typical office . They had offices and therapy rooms on the first two floors . It was the third floor , the one that was never finished and just used for storage , where they did the majority of their work . Burner phones , emergency go bags, clothes and other necessities were kept here . Around the city , there were hidden apartments where an abuse victim could disappear from an abusive partner . Or the kids could . Some in places no one would ever think to look . Hotels . Churches . Restaurants . They had even hidden a runaway at the request of the sheriff's department . In an apartment tucked away in the back of a night club . Technically , she worked for the Family Advocacy Center , but was a certified volunteer with the sheriff's department . After serving as a peace officer for several years , Julius Khun approached her asking if she wanted to really make a difference . She already had her degree in social services . Now she could put it to use . With Khun's support , she went back to school and had just finished her thesis . Once Ty got his promotion at the fire department , they would be introduced as Lieutenant and Dr. Watts . Most everyone that knew them , knew that Jaxon was more than just a roommate . Ty's family did not approve and had disowned him . Bunny's moms were just happy that she was happy . She now knew that Helen approved . But Bob probably would not . Bunny pulled into the blue parking spot in the emergency room lot . The vehicle she was in had no markings , no badging and the license plate went to a shell corporation . If you ran the plates to get an 2/3 2:55 pm P Chapter 15 : Midnight Call address , it would take you to a cemetery . Specifically , the cemetery that Anne Khun was buried in . Julius ' daughter who was killed by an abusive partner . Bunny used her credentials and was admitted to the back . The nurse at the station walked over and opened the secure door . Bunny walked in and smiled at the terrified and bruised woman laying on the hospital bed with her young son asleep next to her . " Candace ? " Bunny said softly and heard a soft Candy . " Candy , I'm Bunny . I'm going to help you start over . " " I don't have any where to go . " The woman mumbled . " The good thing is , I do . I have a safe house with an indoor play area for Braxton . " Bunny whispered as she slowly moved towards the bed and held an open hand out . " This is not going to be easy . New beginnings never are . But I promise , it gets better . " Tentatively , Candy reached out and took her hand . " I don't have anything . " " I do . " She motioned to the bags sitting just inside the door . " What's in the bags will get you through tonight . Tomorrow we'll figure out what you'll need long term . Do you still have your phone ? " " On the counter . " She pointed over to the small counter with a sink . " I'm going to take it for now . Our security team will get all your pictures and other info . It will be put on a safe drive so you won't lose anything . We will sit down in a few days and go through your contacts and save the ones you want . Do you have any family that you want to reach out to ? " " I no longer have a phone number for anyone in my family . He ... he ... " " It's a common tactic . " Bunny squeezed her hand . " I'll get their information and we'll find them . I'm going to step outside and let you and Braxton , good morning little man , " Bunny smiled at the little boy who was slowly waking up . " There's clean clothes in the bags for you both . Take your time . When you're ready , I'll be outside .
