Bloggers,Lovers & Killers

I sat in my home with the lights off in my favorite chair...I was in my boxers and had a robe on. I heard the lock being jimmied... He was good...I expected him to break the window. I heard him walk softly up the stairs...He pushed the door of the bedroom at the top of the stairs open...There appeared to be a sleeping body in the bed...He pulled a gun out of his pocket and adjusted his silencer to the pistol..He raised the pistol and fired two shots into the sleeping body in the bed. Cock Robbins was dead and his mission was over. Well, that's what he thought...The "sleeping body" was a bunch of pillows neatly arranged to look like a body. He soon realized that someone else was sitting in that room in the dark... Namely, me. I said to him-

"Hello Stranger, I've been waiting
for you?"

He was startled.. He jumped , he spun around only to see the muzzles of four revolvers pointed squarely at his head....

"What the hell is going on? What is this.?" He said.

I flicked the lights on and standing behind him was two Philadelphia Homicide Detectives and two Homicide Detectives from East Orange ,New Jersey.

"Put your hands up and drop that gun
buddy, you're under arrest for attempted
murder ,breaking and entering and suspicion
of murder in the deaths of Gail Young, Opal
Winters, Brett Jano and Leon Cantrell." said one of the Detectives.

"I want a lawyer " said the reed thin Black man, who was
wearing a doo rag and a black leather jacket, with tan
khaki pants and black canvas sneakers.

"Now that's the smartest thing you've done today"
I said as one of the detectives took his gun and the
silencer and put it in a plastic bag.

"Detective, I'm sure if you check the ballistics of that
weapon, it'll match all of the killings." I said.

"Thanks kid...your friend gave us all of the information
we needed..We found and arrested the sleazy Private
Eye, Dick Watkins, that recomended him in East Orange...but tell me
how did you figure all of this out? asked the Detective from
East Orange.

I could have told him that my Grandmother always taught me to "close your mouth and open your ears and you'll learn a lot of things " but I didn't.... I listened to what everybody said and I
put it together that he had hurt somebody really bad, somebody other than his wife and they had hired a sleazy middle man , a private eye to find out information on every other woman involed with Cock Robbins...This private eye, Dick Watkins (whose name came up everytime I asked someone about sleazy business dealings in East Orange.) must've been the one who hipped Brett Jano to the fact that his friend betrayed him by sleeping with his woman, Opal Winters... Brett Jano ,Dick Watkins and his friend Leon Cantrell then set up the video taping scam at club Coldhouse to send to Cock Robbins's wife, Veronica. That wasn't enough though.

The person who viewed that DVD first must have been enraged....and that's when the game changed...That's when this mysterious person got Dick Watkins to hire a hit man...Not only to kill Cock Robbins, but every woman on that DVD , (except one ) They also wanted everybody who knew about it to also be eliminated...Leon Cantrell and Brett Jano. My guess is that the sleazy Private Eye was going to be next on that list after Cock Robbins. When I made that call yesterday, I knew that the person on that phone was going to dispatch their killer to clean up things here in Philly. He walked right into my trap. The Detectives were quite pleased with my explanation .I had helped them clear up four murders.

Sepia and a very much alive Cock Robbins entered the room as the police were escorting the killer out of the door and into the squad car.

"Well that looks like that...Thank you so much
Kevin for catching the killer..but the thing is
bruh..I never seen that man before in my life...
Maybe I was screwin one of his broads or something.."
laughed a relieved Cock.

I couldn't believe how stupid this guy was.. Couldn't he see that he wasn't out of the woods yet?

"Cock....That guy was hired to do you and those others
in...aren't you curious about who sent him after you
or do you know who sent him? " I asked.

Sepia seemed confused by all of this, She looked at Cock, then at me and finnally I said to Cock

"Somethin you ought to tell her.."

But before I could get any more words out, I heard a click and felt a muzzle in the back of my head.

"He's not going to tell her shit....I'm going
to tell her myself" came the voice...

Sepia's eyes got as big as saucers and she squealed-

"Mommy......Mommmy? Oh my God."

Yes, It was Jean Cokely......I figured it out while we were at her house...She spat Cock Robbins
name out a little too emotional...Not like a mother protecting her daughter, but more like a spurned lover. Before we left East Orange, I dropped Sepia off at her place and did a little nosing
around...It wasn't hard to figure this plot out...Then I called Clerow. He set everything up.

"Baby...I didn't know...I met Cock Robbins
a year before you did.. He complimented me
,sent me flowers, took me to hotels, made love
to me everyday, sometimes twice a day...made me
feel like a young woman again.....I was head over heels
in love with him...then just like that, he vanished....
Wouldn't return my calls, wouldn't answer my e-mails
or my texts. I followed him one night after he left his
Football practice and I saw him with YOU!!! My own daughter.
The low down nasty dog was screwing both of us....then I saw
him with that whore, Opal Winters.....Oh she was a whore...
So I hired a Private Eye to get some more information..Come
to find out this sucker got a Wife and is seeing yet another girl...
I wasn't going to let him get away with that....I had to get rid of
him and everybody that might lead the police to me. So now...
Smart ass Kevin...You and that whoremonger Cock Robbins
got to go." She snarled.


"I don't think so" I said.

"What the hell you mean, you don't think so?" She snapped.

"Hey Clerow...you got all of that?" I said.

"Yeah man, every single word" laughed Clerow....

I was wearing a wire in my boxer shorts and everything she said had been recorded by my main
man Clerow. To make matters worse for her, there was now a gun on her...Deacon Larry Weatherford held a pistol to her head....

"Well Alright now...
get up on the downstroke...
I'm a Christian man mam and I don't wanna hurt no
woman...put the gun down...it's all over."said the Deacon.

Jean Cokely was defeated...she dropped her gun. The Detectives hadn't gone that far...They came right back up the stairs and put handcuffs on Jean Cokely...The murders had been solved.
You see, I had had Clerow call her and tell her about the set up I had planned...Making her think that her hitman was already in custody and that she had better come and handle things herself.
I had Clerow offer to lead her here if she promised him money...I knew she'd take the bait and that I'd bag the killer and the mastermind. It was a long shot, but one that had paid off in the end.

"Whew...Kevin, Clerow, Deacon,
How can I ever thank you guys
for saving my life?" said Cock Robbins

Sepia looked at Cock Robbins and she shook her head.

"My mother? My mother??
My Mother you low down nasty bastard??"

"Girl,it wasn't like that, see what had
happened was...."

The yelling and screaming began...I walked outside with Clerow and the Deacon... The Deacon got in Clerow's yellow Cooper...I peeled off some 20's and gave a stack to Clerow and to Deacon
Weatherford...

"Guys, I can't thank you enough" I said...

Clerow looked at me as he pulled off in his car and smiled-

"Kevin, you already have brother...
I got to stick by you...you know how to
put money in a brother's pockets..."

They pulled off into the sunlight of the fading day.....From the street I could hear Sepia yelling
and screaming at Cock...I sat in my car, turned on the Radio...Jazmine Sullivan's "Bust Your Windows " was playing...How appropriate!

(Conclusion tomorrow........)
