Sexual Amnesia

As the police and homicide  detectives converged on the hallway, The young white man grabbed my arm...he was pleading with me--

"Please help me...My wife can't remember a thing." he said.

I didn't have time to worry about his problem......The man I had been hired to find was dead and had been robbed...I had no description of the killer, even though I knew who he more than likely was.....

"We were having sex...the best sex of our married life and now she's lost her memory..she can't remember a thing." he said.

"It sounded pretty memorable to me." joked Kool Kat.

"Look pal, If it's true...I feel for ya...but I'm a private investigator from Philly...You probably need a doctor if what you say is true."

His wife, a short pretty brunette was laying in the bed ,looking confused...

I looked at Kool Kat....He laughed and then shrugged his shoulders...

The white guy looked at me ....

"You say you're a private investigator?   I saw you giving a statement to those cops....If you help me...I might be able to uhhhh help you."he said.

"Help me? How could you help me?" I asked....Kool Kat was standing in the corner with a sly smile on his face.

"My wife and I were friendly  with the fellow in the next room who unfortunately got killed tonight..." he said as the medical examiner boys were lifting the body on to the stretcher and wheeling it out...

"Please help us...Look I didn't talk to him much...but my wife talked to him a lot...and she even saw the other guy..." he said.

"What Other Guy?" I asked.

''The fellow in the black suit that was in the room with him...He came over about two days ago." he said.

"What?  You know his name?"  I asked.

"Mr. Hawkins called him 'Brian', but I heard him slip up and call him Ike....The other guy "Brian" told him to never call him by his government name again.." said the White man...

"What's your name?" I asked.

"Marty...Uh Martin Peterson....." he said,

"This is crazy...but if I help you and your wife out...Your wife can identify and give us information on these two?" I asked.

"It's crazy..She likes Black guys...Uh African-American guys.....Just your style, your swagger, makes her horny as hell...When they moved into the room next to ours...She got so horny it wasn't funny...We had the greatest sex of our lives." He said.

''I heard her call you Jimmy through the door when I was coming down the hall." I said...Kool kat was beside himself with laughter at this point.

''We were role playing...I was Jimmy the Black guy." he said.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing.....My case, which should have been easy had gone south and here I was wasting my time  with this dysfunctional married couple....

But I needed their help...

"Kool Kat....Find "Nearsighted Abe" , I think we've been played....Ike "Cold hearted " Stewart found "Ghost'Hawkins two days ago....He didn't bother to tell his boss "Shark Dollars"...I think more money was involved here than what we know....Shake Abe up..." I said.

"I'm on it...Where will you be?" asked Kool Kat who was holding his sides and still laughing..

''At the doctor's office. Where else?" I said.

II-

The three of us sat in the Doctor's Office...Me, Marty Peterson and his beautiful wife, Marla Peterson....

Doctor Herbert Faubus was an old friend of mine from Philly.....I had done some investigative work for Robert Foxworth, who was representing him in a civil case...My work had helped Robert win him a large settlement and he had moved from Philadelphia to Atlantic City...


"Well folks..the way I see it...you two must have had the best sex ever." he laughed.

''Oh Doctor...we did.." Chimed Marty.

'This isn't unheard of...this loss of memory..In fact, doctors at Georgetown University Hospital believe it can indeed result in short-term global amnesia. Live Science states that the case, reported in the September issue of The Journal of Emergency Medicine, actually isn't unheard of, though global amnesia is incredibly rare.

However, it seems scientists don't know if sex truly is at the root of the condition, but it may be an uncomfortable position that is really causing all the problems." He said.

"We were in some pretty wild positions doc....Oh my God." laughed Marty...I sat there and shook my head..

"Thankfully, the condition only affects 3 to 5 people per 100,000 each year, according to LiveScience. The scary thing, however, is that scientists have no idea how people seem to remain awake and active while large chunks of memory go missing.

This type of amnesia seems to differ greatly from traumatically induced amnesia, and effects seem to disappear after a few hours. However, this short-term condition also seems much different from dissociative amnesia, a mental condition that erases large periods of time and is often caused by traumatic events." said Dr. Faubus.

''You mean her memory could start coming back?" Marty asked...

"Oh yes...after a night of sleep or some exercise...or something strenuous." said the Doctor..This short-term amnesia seems to be in a class of its own." He said.

''Excuse me then Doc." said Marty as he led Marla into an adjoining room...

"Hey...What are you doing?" he said as Marty closed the door...Dr. Faubus looked at me..I just shrugged my shoulders...What started out as a routine case had gone from
south to ridiculous.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."


"Ohhhh my.......this feels good...."


"Ohhhhhhhhhhh Marty.....ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...."


"Marla...You called me Marty....You've got your memory back!!!"


''Yes..." 


''You remember everything?"

"Marty stop talking...just keep doing what it is you're doing with your penis inside of me..ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ....ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm."


''Ohhhhhh godddddddddddd.."

Dr. Faubus looked at me from outside of the room...I just shrugged my shoulders. I suppose stranger things have happened.

Marla Peterson gave me a lot of information, a few hours later..She told me that her and her husband and the late Luther Hawkins who they knew as "James Burdette" checked in the hotel the same day....He got a visit from a woman later on that day...The sounds through the walls of their lovemaking had "inspired " her and her husband into following suit.  She saw Mr. "Burdette" in the hallway talking on his cell phone a few times and they shared light pleasent conversation...

He got a visit from another man in a suit about a day later...There was a lot of yelling and shouting and finally some kind of deal was made to split some of the money...I was amazed at how much she had heard between the walls of their adjoining rooms...

Apparently...Pony had double crossed Luther and had told Cold hearted Stewart his whereabouts and once Cold Hearted learned the location of the money..He aced Luther out of the deal and took off with Pony....Very interesting.

III-

Kool Kat called me and I met him in a parking lot outside of one of the casinos.....To my surprise..Eric "Shark Dollars" Redding was standing with him sipping a bottle of Corona...Kool Kat was leaning up against the car with both of his arms folded...

I smiled when I saw "Shark Dollars'

"Looks like we all got played, huh?" I said.

"Yeah looks like it." said Shark Dollars.....who was not in a joking mood.

"Cold Hearted Stewart found 'Ghost' days ago from what that white couple told me...I guess he was holding out on you." I said.

''Guess so...Now I'm out, 200 large." said Shark Dollars.

"My employer is out 100 large." I said.

"Ghost had my money....He robbed your guy in Philly and he pulled two big heists here in AC...When I read about em in the paper..I knew that it was him...but I couldn't find him...We turned this city upside down....And here, Cold Hearted Stewart knew where he was all the time....He waited until he found out where the money was stashed and he jetted...." said Shark Dollars.

"Anybody talk to his girl Pony?" I asked.

"She's gone....No sign of her Kev...Way I figure...She's either dead or she's in this too."" said Kool Kat.

"They both got people in Philly...Now I gotta find a couple of mechanics to take care of him." said Shark Dollars.

"How about this Eric...We'll find him....and we'll get you your money back...that is if he hasn't gone through it already...." I said.

"Oh yeah? That's how you do things Kev...Not how I handle my business.." said Eric Shark Dollars Redding.

I was getting ready to say something else...but Kool Kat stopped me-

"Whatever Eric...You do what you gotta do...but we gone do what we gotta do." he said.

"That's the nature of the beast...I know that." said Eric...

"Be Easy Shark Dollars" said Kool Kat....

Eric "Shark Dollars" Redding looked at both of us...

"Always....Nice seeing you guys again....Kev, Kools..No hard feelins guys...This aint personal, just business." he said.

"That's right baby...be easy." said Kool Kat...

Eric got in his car and pulled off....Kool Kat looked at me....

"Kevin, that's the law of the street...Guys like Eric are going to handle their business, their way...." he said.

"What about us?" I said.

"We going back to Philly.....We gone find Cold Hearted and get that money." he said.

"Just like that?" I said.

"Just like that." he said.

I tossed him the keys...

"You drive Big man." I said.
