This Is Where It Gets Cute

We sat in my Escalade with the windows tinted ,outside of an Apartment complex....

Today there was a special guest...In addition to myself, ADA Keith Wallace , There was Lt. Sissy Van Buren and ADA Nina Rios...my collegue, who was also interested in one of the people we had targeted...

 "Ladies...This seems to be a very ,very intersesting development in our case." I said.

 "That's why we brought you here Nina...We've been investigating Jimmy Bishop's sudden rise to power, seemingly without violence and the disappearences of 37 young men , all drug dealers, all heads of rival crews...and one..a suspect in a recent murder which occurred just days ago..another one had turned in states evidence..enough to give us and in into Bishop's world and operations...He identified corners...Who was running what corners and who we should look at and target...He was angry that he got moved out of his position of leadership you might say...We were going to give him some money and get him out of town and he vanished the day before...Hop and Angie are still combing the neighborhoods,looking for a clue..Anything that will tell us where he is." said Sissy...

"So what has this got to do with me?" asked Nina...

"We know that you've been trying to make a case against Charlene "Charlie "Brown...You've got eight open murders that you can't prosecute..that you believe she is responsible for right?" I said.

"Yes...She's a slick little psychopath...All the killers I've prosecuted and I've never met anybody as cold as unremorseful as that girl...She should have never been released from the Youth Study Center...I interviewed her once..She sent a chill down my spine." said Nina...

''Well we know that she and a guy named Basil Templeton are Bishop's enforcers...We think she and Templeton are responsible for the disapearences of these men...we have good reason to believe that these two may be responsible for the biggest mass murder in the city's history....45 murders...." said Sissy...

''So you've wire tapped her phones??.." said Nina...

"Correct Nina...We don't have her talking about murder or drugs...but we've got something better.." said Sharon...

''And what is that?" asked Nina..

"Listen and learn..." said Sharon...

"My guys have cloned her phones and her laptops...We may have an address to where all of those missing persons are kept." said Sharon...

"Isn't that something....I love the FBI's superior gadgetry." said Detective Sirena Pile , who was sitting up front with Sharon...

''That's why I joined the FBI...The toys..."laughed Sharon...

"After you ladies spotted her kissing that woman the other day in the shopping center...Sirena and I followed her and did a little research....That's her fiance....Candi Herman...They met in the youth study center....been together for four years....." said Sharon's husband and Sirena's partner...Detective Tony Hopkins...

"Another little psychopath...I know of her...She's not quite as bad as Charlene...At least I don't think she's killed anyone. But So What? This isn't even where Charlie Brown or Candi Herman lives...She lives on the other side of town with her..."said Nina.

''And this is where it gets cute....This woman's name is Norma...Norma Jean Reddick...She's one of the few female Drug Crew leaders....She works for Jimmy Bishop...We already have it that Charlie Brown is in her apartment....and not for any business..more like some monkey business..."laughed Sirena.

"And you think this will net you what?" asked Nina..

"Just listen..."said Sirena..

There was the sound of kissing...passionate kissing and heavy breathing...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh Charlie...Charlie you are driving me crazy ma..."

"Ouuuuuu, oh Norma...you driving me crazy too bae...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

"Ouuuuuu....How you gone explain this to your fiance?" 

''What she don't know won't hurt her...All I know is..ohhhh,I just want you now..ohhh.."

"Ouu girl ,suck on my breasts...suck em Charlie...ohhhhhhhhhhhhh.."

"Ummmmmm girl...ohhhhh my goodness..."

"Ouuuuuu..ohhhhhhhh..."

There was the sound of the bed squeaking, the headboard gently slamming against the wall...

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, you about to make me cry.......girllll..ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."

"Ever since I first laid eyes on you...I been in love with you...that's why I been doublin up on your product for you and your crew..."

"Don't let Jimmy find out..."

"Who is gonna tell him? Huh? You??

"Ouuu girl...ouuuuuuuuuuuuuu.."

There was the sound of licking and slurping...more kisses...more moaning...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh,Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I'm losing it...ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.."

"Ohhh Norma...I'm crazy bout you bae..."

"And I used to be scared of you ..."

"Why?"

"Everybody knows you kill people..You kill people for Bishop.."

"I do...and I've killed people before that...Right now I'm a suspect in four unrelated murders that they'll never prove....I made four big mouth witnesses disappear..into thin air....Those other people...I did that for Jimmy..to help him take over..."

"How come you didn't make me disappear?"

"Because like I said..I'm crazy about you...I been crazy about you since I first met you...I knew you'd play ball with us and you have and I've been takin care of you ,haven't I?"

"You sure have...Put me up in this nice apartment..Paid my bills..Gave me extra product....I love you so much..."

"Ouuuuuu, oh Norma...you driving me crazy bae...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

 "Ouuu girl...ouuuuuuuuuuuuuu.."

"Ohhhhhh god this feels so good...You should leave her...leave her Charlene...Come stay with me..ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh godddddd...girlllllll...."

"I just might...I just might bae..Ouuu girl.... ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

Sirena, Sissy and Sharon all went in unison...

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW SUKI SUKI NOW!"

I looked at Nina...

"I think we just cleared eight murders for you and possibly more.."I said.

"I can't believe it...We have her on tape talking about murders and cheating the boss..."

"We plan to up the ante...First ,that recording is going to her fiance, Candi Herman.....Then it's going to Jimmy Bishop....and if they don't kill her...It's going to run her right into our arms..." said Sissy....

Nina looked at us....and smiled...

""AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW SUKI SUKI NOW!"she said...

We all laughed...

II-

At this point, my wife Carlotta and her partners ,Detective Tyriq Pile and Jimmy Barlow were on the other side of town talking to the mother of their murder suspect and possible victim...Walter "Junior"Morris...

"Mrs. Bowers...We know what's going on..We know about Jimmy Bishop and his hold on the neighborhood..."said Carlotta..

"Then you know what happens to people who cross him or mention his name right?...They aint seen no more."she said.

"But Mrs. Bowers...you can help us put him and his whole crew behind bars..." said Carlotta..

"By telling you what?  Just by you being here....You've put a bullseye on my back...I don't want any trouble.."she said..

"Look mam...you know and I know...Your son is dead....You know that..."said Tyriq..

"I know that...Why aren't you talkin to his Baby Mama...this is all her fault, her little fast ass...Sleepin with Flea...She know how jealous Junior was...she knew it..."she said.

''Don't you want to give your son a proper burial/" asked Jimmy...

"Do you really think you'll find his body? You crazy as hell...A whole lot of guys have just dropped off the face of the earth...And aint nobody heard jack from them...Guys been goin missing all summer...and where have you cops been?Ms. Geneva's boy Ray vanished in August ,she went to missing persons...Aint heard nothing yet...I bet if these had been white boys...You guys woulda been done got to the bottom of this."she said angrily...

"Mam, we've been looking into this guy for a long time...we've been waiting for something...anything to help us put him away..."said Tyriq politely..

''Well then he's smarter than all you cops...cause aint none of yall been able to touch him..He drives around here, struts around the neighborhood in his BMW without a care in the world...And he's better at keeping the neighborhood quiet than you cops..Aint been a robbery or mugging ,nothin, since he came around..Even the crooks are scared of him." she said.

"Alright mam...Thank you for your time..." said Carlotta..."Let's go guys..." she sighed...

She and Jimmy and Tyriq quietly left...They had talked to close to 100 people and nobody, nobody had anything of use to give them...Not just on Junior, their suspect ,but on any of the other 47 young men who had vanished...

As they left...Two guys sat in a car across the street from the house...Both of them laughed ...They knew that Carlotta, Tyriq and Jimmy had gotten nothing...

"Jimmy ,get on the horn and have two unmarked cars come around here...Make sure nothing happens to that woman...and tell em to send some uni's through here every hour on the hour..." said Tyriq..

"I'm on it.."said Jimmy...

''What do we do now Rico?" asked Carlotta.

''Well Top...We go over this guy's last steps...What he did , who he might have met with leading up to the shooting and then try to find out where he went from there...Homicide 101...That's all we can do...Somethin is gonna pop soon ."he said.

"I feel so bad...I want to put somebody behind bars soon." she said.

Jimmy came back.

"These little bastards put two of these GPS trackers on our car...One where they knew I might find it and one a little more subtle." he said..

Carlotta and Tyriq both said in unison...

"There is a third one then...."

It took them no time at all to find it...and a fourth one...

Tyriq stepped on all four and smashed them...

The car that had been sitting outside was long gone..

"We are gonna take this car back to the motor pool and get another one just to be on the safe side..Little bastards.."snarled a very irritated Detective Tyriq Pile.

III-

Duke and Angie were sitting in a car with tinted windows up on a hill....overlooking a meat packing plant...

"Duke...How did you find this place?" asked Angie...

"I did a property check on that little bastard....He owns about three barbershops, a Steak and Hoagie shop and this place...

Vice and Narcotics guys ascertained that the count goes on in the Barbershops and is laundered through the Steak shop...Judging by the photos we have of who has been going there...We got Basil Templeton and an associate picking up money from there and paying everybody from those central locations...So I wondered ..
Where could their stash house be?  Then I found out about this Meat packing place...It's a perfect place to stash product when it arrives and also to keep bodies...They got photos of Basil Templeton at this property with known area drug figures ,talking and exchanging money...They talk outside in case that place is bugged...It isn't...we haven't been able to get a man inside of there."said Duke..

"Ughhhhh" said Angie as she snapped some more photos with her telephoto lense....

"I got good photos...Look...there is trucks driving up....And look what they're taking out..." she said.

"That doesn't look like meat to me...it's bags of heroin and cocaine...probably, not street ready..." said Duke.

"We need a warrant to hit that house."said Angie..

"I know....But considering he bought this place six months ago and it's still "closed." why would you think there is so much activity? It's a stash house"said Duke.

"Well , We show this to Sissy and Keith and maybe it's enough to get us a warrant." said Angie..

"I think that in addition to that being the stash house...That inside of there are the bodies of all of our missing gentlemen..."said Duke.. "It's perfect...It's an icehouse..You can keep bodies frozen solid and out of sight...It has a unit to take the odor out and it's far away from anything so not to draw suspicion....I gotta hand it to Bishop..This was pure genius.."said Duke.

"Ughhhh,let's cut out...this sounds gruesome..."said Angie...

"Makes you want to go back to Internal Affairs doesn't it?" laughed Duke..

"Oh No!!...This is my home..With you guys" said Angie...

"Well as my little protoge' Sirena would say.."This is where it gets cute."said Duke..

"Sirena??I thought Carlotta was your protoge'" laughed Angie..

"They both are...I met both of them when they first made Detective and raised both of them from puppies into what you see now. Fine Investigators."he laughed..

Angie laughed....

"They are both great detectives...but Rico Suave might argue that point about Carlotta....He always said that he mentored Carlotta..." laughed Angie..

"He did...He did...But Rico got the finished product....With Carlotta and his future wife,Sirena...

Hell, I mentored your husband,Jimmy for a short while." laughed Duke proudly...

"You just missed me that's all...Being your partner I mean....I think you were trying to find a replacement for me.Rico Suave' took Carlotta from you and he married Sirena....And I married Jimmy....So you had to go back to square one...ME!" laughed Angie..

"That's what you think??" laughed Duke..

"That's what I know."laughed Angie..."You know you missed me...Look how high your clearences are since I started being your partner again." she joked and playfully punched his shoulder..

He looked at Angie and smiled..

"Well I know this...Inside that meat packing house....Is a tomb!" said Duke solemnly..
