Jackie crawls out of bed still half asleep after a late night on the grave- yard shift.  She  flicks on the jug in the kitchen as she cringes at the mess.   It sure was obvious that Jake’s mates had been over last night  and Jackie just couldn't  be shagged cleaning their bloody mess up.  She sits at the table, pushing more mess out of the way and leans back running her hand through her messy hair. Jackie was so tired she closed her eyes when the ringing phone gives her a fright.

“Hello”, Jackie answers.
“ Hey girl, it’s JJ, what yer up too?
“Just got up mate, hard night at the slave yard and about to hit the shower to wake up. I’d scare Jake’s pitbull looking like this” Jackie tells her.
“ That bloody bad huh,  going to be over your way soon so see ya in about two clicks then? JJ tells her.
“ Cool, see ya then but excuse the mess, the place looks like a bomb site” Jackie coughs.
“ From what I hear, Mardy wasn’t bullshittn' then“JJ replies.
“ See yer soon then girl, you need anything brought over while I'm out an' about? JJ enquires.
“Yea mate can you grab me some dog food before “killer” decides to eat me.” Jackie tells her.

"Sure girl no probs" JJ replies.

Jackie finished her coffee and gets some clean jeans, side steps the pile of dirty washing as she heads  to the shower. Jackie was towel drying her hair when she hears the familiar sound of JJ’s Hogg flying up the street.
JJ  was about five foot five and quite solid with dark shoulder length hair. She has a wicked sense of humour and is tough as nails. JJ is a laugh a minute that’s for sure.
Jackie flicks the jug back on and grabs a couple of cups. JJ  flings her leather  jacket over the chair and puts the plastic bag in the fridge.
“There you go girl “ killer” won’t eat ya now Jacks”, she laughs as she shuts the fridge door.
“Thanks JJ, Jake has the truck today and he wouldn’t be seen dead at the supermarket” Jackie smirks.
“ Nah not the done thing girl, not cool” she smiles.

Jackie tidied up the kitchen table and filled the sink with dirty dishes while JJ pours their coffees.
“ Boy they sure did have quite a bash here last night girl, what a fucking mess” JJ tells Jackie.
“ Yeah you’re telling me girl,” she says with raised eyebrows.
“I’ll give yer a hand after the coffee, no probs” JJ tells her.

They yacked for about an hour and Jackie loads the washing machine up while JJ grabs a rubbish bag and gives the  lounge a quick tidy .
They both had it cut out in about an hour.
“ Thanks mate, that shift is killing me and these kids are useless too, fuck man I am definitely not coming back as a woman next time” Jackie moans.
“ Yeah I know that feeling well, mine think our place  is a fucking  Hotel ”, JJ replies.

" Got to get on the road girl so I'll  catch yer in a few days, so you  take it easy you hear” JJ tells her as she pulls on her leather jacket and ties her hair back.

"Sure thing, I finish this damn shift in a few days, then we can go for a ride up the mountains on my next days off", Jackie smiles with something to look forward too.

Jackie gets ready for work that evening and tells Jake that JJ  dropped off some dog food for Killer.
“ Cool babe” Jake replies as he reaches for a beer out of the fridge.
“Hey Jake can you make your own lunch tonight, I won’t remember in the morning, I’m too shagged babe. There is some beef left in there too and some savoury meatloaf” says Jackie as she heads out the door.
“ Sure, see ya in the morning babe ” Jake says as he watches her fire up her bike.

A couple days had past and Jackie was super tired and had grabbed some extra hours to get the paint job on her bike fixed because some shithead had keyed her tank in the factory parking lot.

JJ got her out of bed and said she was calling over because she had something to tell her that would make her laugh her fucking  head off.
When JJ arrives she is still cackling  to herself as she comes through the door. Jackie knew it had to be a good one if JJ was still laughing and she certainly couldn’t wait to hear this.
“Made those coffee’s yet girl,” she said.
“ Almost there, dirt, give now” Jackie smiles from across the bench.
“ Well Mardy came home from work and he said he had sat with Jake at lunchtime” she tells Jackie.
Mardy and Jake work in the same place.

“ Yea and...,” Jackie said sipping her coffee.
“ Jake was really into his sandwiches and how great they were but Jackie, what did you put on his sandwiches girl ? JJ asks her.
“ Didn’t make them this week, why? she says with a confused look wondering what the hell JJ was talking about.

JJ  pisses herself laughing again and replies in between laughs” That explains it then”.
“Explains fucking what” Jackie asks her.
“ Well he gave one to Mardy to try and he bloody loved it. Then he came home that night and said I had to get the same shit  that Jackie was putting on Jake’s sandwiches”, JJ  relays to her.
“Stuffed if I know what was on them mate,” Jackie replies still looking real confused.

“ I told him there was some beef left over and there was some sliced savoury meat loaf, nothing fantastic about that” Jackie said to her.
“ Well, from what I understand it was really savory and had vegetables in it” JJ tells her over her coffee cup watching Jackie's facials.
“ Sounds like meat loaf if you ask me, I made that” Jackie said.
“ Well Jake’s had them everyday this week so you been making meat loaf all week Jacks?” she says with a big grin.
“ Nope, too shagged to be doing anything like that and anyways Jake hasn’t said anything to me” Jackie replies.
“ Geez you must be fucking blonde,” JJ said to her with a wicked grin.

Jackie just shook her head and still had no idea what JJ was gettin' at or why.

“ Well it's like this girl, I asked Mardy what the meat  looked like and he said you can cut it to any thickness you want” JJ says as she got up from the table and walked towards Jackie’s fridge.
“ What you doing woman” Jackie asked.
With her head in the fridge, JJ  pulls out the plastic bag and says, “So what  the hell has Jake fed Killer this week, your beef and meat loaf?” JJ laughs and waves the plastic bag at Jackie.
“ Oh mate, are you saying what I think you’re saying”? Jackie says as the penny drops.
“ Oh fuck !” Jackie says choking on a mouth full of coffee and spluttering.
“ You mean to tell me that Mardy and Jake have been having “dog roll” sandwiches? She says pissing herself laughing too.
JJ nods and puts the plastic bag back in the fridge.

“ That’s the one you got at the supermarket, oh shit, I wouldn’t have bought that brand for Killer anyway.” Jackie smirks.
“ Oh no, you're not going to say anything are you? Jackie says to JJ with wide eyes.
“ Oh mate and spoil all my fun, not on your bloody life, JJ grins.
“Unbelievable JJ but what if he asks me to get some more and he finds out the truth?” Jackie says with a frown.
“ Hmmm, not sure on that one girl, let me think” JJ replies.
“ I know, if he asks you, tell him it was recalled cause they mucked up the wrappers on the savory luncheon and dog roll” she laughs.
“ Hope you’re right girl and he swallows that story” Jackie laughs with JJ.
“ That’s not all they swallowed mate, Jake and Mardy eating fucking dog roll, what a hoot”

“ Well let me put it this way, he won’t want Mardy to find out it was dog roll so I would pretty much bet that your safe as houses girl” JJ tells Jackie.
“ And they say it is not fit for human consumption, can’t be that bad then huh Jackie?” JJ roars with laughter.
Jackie shakes her head from side to side and just grins in disbelief.

“ Best you feed “Killer” the rest before you go to work then” JJ tells Jackie.
“ Sounds good to me JJ, get rid of the evidence!!!!!!

That evening Jackie cut up what was left of the dog roll and gave it to the dog.
Killer sniffs it and refuses to eat it.

Jackie smiles and throws him a bone instead.
