"Hey chief-" Rickey's sandy brown head popped into the door marked 'Chief Stone'.
"Hold on a minute." The cheif said, holding up one very white finger. "Yeah...uh-huh...three-oh-five.Yes...okay, thank you...yes that's all. Okay,bye." Anderson Stone, the Chief Executive of L.A.'s police department looked up at his best officer. "Yes?"
"you called me?" Rickey sat in the chair opposite of Stone, crossing his long fingers at the ankle.
"Oh! Right." Chief Stone leaned forward, resting his elbows on his desk."I have a special assingment for you," The Chief's brown mustache jumped with each word. "It's going to give you the highest raise you can ever get in this place."
Rickey leaned back."I'm listening."
"Your assignment is to go on vacation." Anderson said simply.
"But you just said-"
" I know I know...your assignment is in Malibu." Anderson reclined in his chair, ribbing his full head of chocolate-brown hair.
"Malibu?"
"Yes." Stone twined his fingers together and rested his chin on them. "You're going to be an heiress' bodyguard. she's been blackmailed, and Malibu's asking for you."
Rickey stood in one elegant move that seemed out of place with his height. "An heiress? Definitely not!" he started pacing in front of his boss' desk, throwing his hands this way and that, showing his anger. "Since when did L.A. police department become a babysitter-or heiress-same thing! when did we get paid to-"
"You'll do as I say or for christ's sake-and don't make me do this-I'll fire you!" Stone's face grew red, but then he looked down, taking deep breaths, the opposite of what Rickey was doing, though he did calm downa little, just to be reasonable.
"She's an heiress. All heiress' get blackmailed." Rickey slid a hand through his hair, his jade-green eyes snapping.
"Not by the same anonymous person continually."
"But-"
"Rickey." Stone looked up,his face recovered." How long have you been with me?"
"Seven years,sir."
"Right. so can't you trust me by now?"
"Yessir, I can."
"Well then, please do so for me right now. you'll bring that promotion we need from the state if you succeed."
"With a raise?" He asked questioningly.
"Yes. The Malibu police department will pay you generously."
Rickey took a deep breath."Sir, I accept, even though I still consider this baby-heiress-sitting." Rickey finally receeded his argument. Shoving his hands in his pockets, he said,"Well, I better go pack. looks like I'm off for Malibu."
Rickey disappeared out the door, but his head reappeared back through it a few seconds later. "This doesn't count as my vacation time does it?"

    Welcome to the Blog Zone, Beautifull! Your writing is easy to follow, and the use of dialogue helps the reader get more of a glimpse to a character's character (know what I mean, jelly bean?). I like. By the way, I am hoping that this heiress is a total brat, adds spice to the story ... but anyhow, look forward to more of your writing. You definitely do NOT suck, lol! Kizzo

    Beautiful - have you ever considered writing this as a screenplay? The emphasis on dialogue makes me think it might lend itself better to another genre. What I see here is a movie unfolding rather than a book.
    Truth be told, writing a screenplay is SO MUCH EASIER! I've written one, so if you need any pointers let me know.

    If the heiress isn't sexy and attracted to Rickey... But I agree with Kiz, your style is clear, easy to read, maybe too much so.

    are you saying i'm too direct?

    Neither of the characters demonstrated much individuality in expression. So far, they seem like stock characters, but this is just the beginning, and there should be opportunity for rickey, at least, to become a distinct individual. I expect that the police chief won't have as much of a role in the rest of the story.

    kind of rambly in parts... but good dialogue. I could imagine their tones like a mental image only not quite an image... overall not bad

    This sounds good, the plot I mean. I also hope that the heiress is a brat, something like Paris Hilton hehe. And you write well. You need more descriptions though: like Anza said there's no "image".

    i know...it'll be good in the story for her to be big spoiled daddy's girl...when she's stil at the age of twenty-seven...gives more flavor.
