Paramedic Pt. 09

In the most serious tone he could use, Tyler said "Liam, it has been great getting to know you. But, not even Josh and I can protect you from the Dragon Lady. Remember Liam, she takes real pride in the name of Dragon Lady that she was given."

Liam looked at Tyler and to Jared. They both had smiles on their faces. Liam gave them both the finger and got back into the ambulance.

Jared watched and said, "I better get in before he leaves without me." He waved at Tyler as he ran to the unit and jumped in.

They drove to the base and backed into the bay. There wasn't another ambulance parked at the base, and that was unusual. In fact, as they pulled up to the base they had noted there were no staff members anywhere. The only activity was the workmen putting in new upgraded cameras on the outside and inside of the base. There was an attractive woman outside watching what they were doing. She was about 5'6", with olive skin and jet black braided hair to her waist.

As Jared got out of the unit, she ran up to him and gave him a big hug. "How are you doing, cuz? You're looking so good, Jared." They exchanged kisses on each other's cheeks.

"I'm great Mel and you're looking good, too. Your hair is beautiful and I haven't seen it braided like that for a long time. You really do look like a beautiful Indian Princess," exclaimed Jared.

"So this is Liam," she said as she stepped back from Jared. "Bit on the skinny side, isn't he?" She gave Liam a big smile and wrapped him in a big hug.

"Will you join us for dinner tonight, and we can talk openly? Not like around here," asked Jared.

"Of course I will and I've already booked a booth at Pierre's place for 8:00 pm. There is nobody else here right now anyway except us and the workmen. The medics just seemed to disappear for some reason," said Melanie with a smile. Melanie was watching the workers again and let out a holler which would raise the dead, "I told you that camera was to cover the dead spot over there! Adjust it before I kick your ass!"

The man on the ladder looked at her. "Take a pill, cuz. I'll fix it," he said.

"Take a pill? Take a pill? I am going to kick your ass like I have been for the past 20 years, you little rug rat," she ranted.

Liam laughed, "Another cousin? Is this a family business?"

Melanie turned to Liam and spoke, "Large family, really large, about half the reserve and most of them work for Bear Investments. Working keeps them out of trouble, especially with me as their boss."

Liam smiled and asked, "Is that where the Dragon Lady comes from?"

Jared ducked and put both hands over his head. The man up the ladder said, "Oh shit," and then slid down the side, assuming a similar position to Jared behind the ladder.

The young worker called over to Jared, "Oh shit, did he call her what I think he did?"

Jared lifted his head slightly, "Yes, he did. It's too bad, he was a good partner."

Liam was watching this and turned to look at Melanie. She had her hands on her hips, her shoulders squared with an angry look on her face. Her eyes appeared to be almost black to Liam.

She marched up to Liam and stood in front of him. Being shorter, she looked up at him. Liam was actually concerned about this lady now and tried to step backwards, but she followed him. A couple of steps later, his back was against the ambulance they had parked and she was still in front of him.

"Who are you talking to, little man?" Melanie asked with ice in her voice. "I have chewed up and spit out bigger guys than you. You are a scrawny little twerp, no muscle of any size on those bones. Do you hear me?"

Liam's body was shaking by now. She turned her head and barked at the man installing the cameras. "If you are still on the ground by the time I walk over there, your ass is getting kicked!" she yelled. The man got up and climbed the ladder quickly.

Melanie looked at Jared, "You little asshole, Jared. Did you set him up or was it that good for nothing flatfoot, Tyler. It was one of the two of you because none of your other friends have enough balls to do it."

Liam squeaked when speaking like he was going through puberty again. "Tyler, he told me. I didn't know," he stammered.

"You god damned college graduates are good for nothing. He didn't tell you that was my name in the Marines when I was a Drill Sergeant?"

"No, ma'am" Liam said.

"That's No Sir, you maggot," Melanie yelled into his face. "Wait till I get my hands on his scrawny little ass," she said. She stepped back and then a smile spread on her face. Gone were the hardened facial expressions of a drill sergeant, replaced by a beautiful smile showing her teeth.

"You were set up, you little twerp," she said. Jared and the man on the ladder started laughing. Jared was laughing so hard, he fell over onto his back.

Liam looked at them for a moment, running everything through his mind again, and then said, "You are both assholes, including Tyler."

Melanie started laughing too. Liam just blushed. "You know, Jared, he's not a bad kid," said Melanie as she hugged Liam. She then added, "Let's go talk to Rob."

They headed to Rob's office where Mel knocked at the door while entering. Rob looked up, "Jared, Liam, you guys are finally here," he said with a smile. "Come in, come in, and pull up a seat." They did so while Melanie was closing the door.

She turned and looked at Liam, raising her voice she barked at him, "You're in my chair, boy!" Liam jumped up and over one chair. She sat down like a delicate lady. Rob and Jared were snickering.

Rob looked at Liam and said, "You should see the crews running since she got here. If they weren't on a call, they were scrubbing the garage and the outside of the building. She told them they were making good money to work, not sit on their asses and watch TV. Not one of the units has returned after a call. They are all driving around or having coffee in the community. Melanie, if I wasn't married I would propose to you."

"Your ass is too small," she replied. "Small ass means small dick."

Everyone started to laugh.

"Let's get to business," said Melanie.

"She reviewed everything going on around the base. The cameras at the base would be finished in a couple of hours. They have been installing the cameras in the units when the crews were out doing some manual labour. Jared's was the last one to be finished. The cameras in the units would download automatically when the unit was packed in the garage. The cameras around and in the base would be fed wirelessly. Rob would have a large screen added to his office which was a duplicate of what was being recorded. A fake computer and hard drive were going to be installed in Robs office as a decoy if anyone wanted to cause problems.

"The investigators have been in place a few hours and have taped the crew, who were supposed to be sick, were out cutting their lawns and doing other outdoor work. They have been meeting at Tim's house for the last couple of hours, drinking beer and boasting about what they were doing. The investigators have a parabolic mic recording everything the crew said outside in public. They have also been told to continue for another 48 hours so we have lots of material to use.

"Now that we know where they are, we've dispatched two of the security people with letters for each of the employees, advising them of the acknowledgement of their illness and informing them of the requirement for notes from their doctors covering the illness. The other condition of no pay for their sick days is to be included as well. The two security people are going in as meter readers. The meter is next to the deck and they will talk their way into the group. Actually, it should be happening about now. They weren't sent out under Rob's signature from the ambulance service, they were on my letterhead and my signature as the Executive Assistant to the CEO/President.

"I've already contacted a head hunter organization for a HR person and they should get back to me tomorrow. I've also posted an ad to hire 5 more paramedics with immediate start dates," said Melanie. "You are going to need replacements for your little group who will be fired.

"Rob and I also reviewed the vehicle maintenance files and have ordered three new units for the base. One is extra and two replacements. We can sell the old units and I already have them listed. One of the new units is for you, Jared. As the new Paramedic Field Trainer, you will have dual stretchers with extra equipment for teaching purposes and handling special situations."

"Wait one minute," said Jared. "I'm not the Paramedic Field Trainer."

"Yes you are, as of this afternoon. I promoted you," said Rob with a smile.

"I didn't ask for that," said Jared.

"No, you didn't," started Rob, "but after talking with Melanie, who agreed, it is giving up some of my own duties to someone who will do a good job. It's a done deal, Jared, or do I have to call the boss. He told me he trusted my decisions..."

"You've created a monster! Dragon Lady, you have made a good man into your evil apprentice," said Jared. "I'll do it, to help out Rob as long as Liam is still assigned as my partner."

"No problems, Jared. You can still have the little guy with you. Rob and I are going to go through the personnel files tomorrow and take a look at the employees here and learn about them. It's also time for some time-wasters to be cleaned out and replaced with good, enthusiastic people. Your shift is fine, Jared, but I am sure we are thinking of the same people on the others."

Liam asked, "Do I get a new job and title, too?"

Melanie looked at him and calmly replied, "Toilet Bitch, as you will be in charge of the washroom detail."

Liam gave her the finger.

"I really like this kid, Jared," said Melanie.

The meeting broke up after Jared told everyone what a great job they had done. He also thanked them for their hard work. Rob had commented if Melanie came down a couple of days every week, they wouldn't need an HR person.

Melanie told him not a chance of an ice cube surviving in hell, and he could go fuck himself while he was delivering the ice cube.

Jared and Liam went out to the ambulance bay and cleaned up their unit as well as washing it. The end of the shift came quickly. The crews returned about 15 minutes before the end of their shift. When the new crew came in, there was a lot of talk about the ads for new paramedics, an HR person, and they had also heard from Timmy about being served with a letter. One of the staff asked if the lady who was terrorizing the day crew had gone home yet. Jared just smiled and shrugged his shoulders.

Melanie came through the door and looked at the group. Before she could even say anything, they all scattered like rats off a sinking ship except for Jared and Liam. Not one of them were left in the ambulance bay or even within eyesight in seconds.

"Ready for dinner, cuz?" she asked.

"We just have to change out of our uniforms" replied Jared.

"Can I come and watch? I want to check out that impressive package on Liam. He's cute enough to be on the light side," she said.

Liam blushed and ran for the change room. "He's still shy, Melanie," laughed Jared.

After getting changed, they grabbed a taxi over to Pierre's restaurant. They laughed and talked half the night, usually at Jared's expense. Melanie told stories about her and Jared growing up. She was older by 6 years so she helped Grandfather to look after him a lot.

Melanie spoke, "I think it is time to call it a night, guys. We have to work in the morning." After she paid the bill, they were standing inside the front door when Mel hugged each one of them and kissed them on the cheek. She then said, "Jared, don't let this one get away from you, he is cute."

The two of them looked at her in shock. They could hear Pierre burst into laughter around the corner in the hallway. Jared yelled around the corner to him, "Payback, you know what they say about that, don't you, Pierre. It goes like this - Payback is a Melanie!"

Jared's head moved as Melanie cuffed him. They left the restaurant and got into the taxis with one heading to the apartment and the other to Melanie's Hotel.

When the boys got back to the apartment, they tore each other's clothes off. There was a sense of urgency from them both as they made love quickly but passionately. After they both had cum, they fell asleep in each other's arms.
