Mis-Understanding!


Boxer, Harry "He Man" Jefferson's funeral was a virtual who's who....Fathead Newton, Ralph Mole, Roscoe, Cherry Johnson, Gus, Honey Brown,  Clerow, Corabeth, Mabel, 88, Victoria and Deacon Larry Weatherford, Anita Jenkins, Chance Howard, Robert Foxworth, Bonita, Ingrid Rhodes, Downtown Rob Brown, Delores, Reed Nelson, Debbie, Bone Hampton, Ella, Meek Rollins and his girlfriend, Dollar Bill, Ralph Scallion, Minay, Sean Jackson and his wife Sheila, Bernadette, Harry Charles and Cock Robbins and his wife, Vanessa all were seated in the first three rows...

Owen Todd and Kool Kat and Chelsea were seated to the side...along with Paris, Blake, Cherish, Cole and Nicole Butler....Chris Thompson and his ladyfriend, Chess, Rell and their two children, Donald Smooth and his wife brought up the rear....

To my surprise...Deuce Watkins and Anthony "Tony Tony" Anthony were also there...They brought a huge wreath from their boss, Cal Townsend, who was not there....It was good for them that I had not told my associates ,meaning Kool Kat, Clerow or Owen Todd that I thought that these two might be the killers....If I had....Neither Deuce nor Tony Tony would have gotten out of that church alive...!!!!

I was furious that they had the gall to come to the funeral....Sepia was sitting up in front of the church....I went to walk up to the front when Deuce stepped in front of me...

"Hey Kevin...Mind if I call you Kev?" he asked....Tony Tony slipped behind me....

I said nothin...

"I hear  that you're a ....what do they call it...a Private Dick...Heh heh heh.." he said...

Tony Tony laughed...

"Hear you been askin questions and nosin around about things that aint got nothin to do with you." said Tony Tony....

"Do you guys really want to do this, like this...In the church?" I said.

"Feel that in your back? That's my gun....Twitch and I'll pull the trigger and ventilate you...Now lets walk outside." said Tony.

"Lets not." I said.

"What?" said Deuce.

I grabbed his throat and squeezed hard and slammed his head hard into the wall as a few shocked church goers watched.... and gasped! Then I swiftly kicked Tony Tony in his groin....

He let out a yell that sounded like a wounded animal....Then while the crowd was filing in, I brought his hand down hard on the church chairs....so hard that he dropped his gun, I pulled Deuce outside by his collar and punched him several times in his stomach and then clocked him so hard he fell up against the car and slid down on to the curb...Tony Tony had gotten himself together only to come outside and see the business end of my .38 smokeless in his bosses mouth...

"Come closer and I'm gonna blow the back of his head off....just back your little ass up.NOW!" I snapped.

Tony Tony was no fool, he backed up....

I leaned down and looked at Deuce......

"You don't know how long I've wanted to give you what you deserve......Believe me when I tell you...I have no qualms about ending your miserable life right here and right now....but I won't...This is a church....You need to go home and pray...Something foreign to you I know...Thank God that this is a church...That's the ONLY reason the both of you are alive...Now When I take this gun out of your mouth ,I want you both to run as fast as you can....Understand??" I said.

I slapped him in the back of the head...

"Understand?"I said...

They both shook their heads....They looked up and saw Kool Kat running down the steps and they both took off and ran as fast as they could....

"What was that about?" yelled Kool Kat.

"Nothing...Me and the boys had a little misunderstanding that's all...I think it's cleared up now" I said.

Kool Kat produced the .22 that Tony had put in my back...

"Misunderstanding? Basil Robinson told me that you and two dudes got into a tussle in the church." he said.

"Okay Walter...I suspect that those two dudes kidnapped my missing girl.....and I also think they killed He man and his driver." I said.

"WHAT??? Man if you had of told me...." he said.

"I know...I know...that's why I didn't.. but I think my poking around has made them or somebody very nervous..." I said..."And that's good." I said with a smile...I patted him on the back and we went back into the church and attended the funeral service.

II-




Because I knew just who I was dealing with...I called ADA Keith Wallace and Homicide Lt.Sissy Van Buren...
They sent the bomb squad to my office and sure enough....a very powerful bomb had been placed in my office building...in fact, they found three!!!!


I sent them to my house...None were found there, but they had tried to wire both my car and my wife's car with bombs....and unknown to them...I had video footage of the bomber actually breaking into my garage and attempting to wire the cars...

The Police picked up Wally "Petey Boy" Cranston later on that afternoon.... Naturally, he didn't know who actually hired him..It was done over the phone and money was wired to his account!...The wire was traced to an off shore bank account and the owner of the account was a person who didn't seem to exist!
Nice...Cal Townsend was a very careful man! But he wouldn't be able to access that account...It was frozen,pending a criminal investigation.




"Kevin ,do you want me t pick these two clowns up?" asked Sissy...

"No...leave em be...I've got a feeling ,I'll be seeing them again..." I laughed.

III-





At Peeping Tom's house...I got some very interesting information....

"Kev...look at the photo...recognize the two gentlemen in that car?" he said.

"Of course...That's Deuce Watkins and Tony Tony Anthony." I said.

"But that only proves they were at the gas station at the time...Not that they were kidnappers..." said Tom..

"True...but it does place them near her....enough to raise a little suspicion." I said.

Lockpick Johnson walked into the living room.....

"Kev, you gotta listen to this!" he said.

He played the tape recording... It was Cal Townsend...and he was talking to Deuce Watkins-

"Hello Mr. Townsend..."  said Deuce.

"Don't hello me you idiots....Your little play this morning could cause me problems." he snarled.

"Yeah..we underestimated him...but don't worry...when we blow his office building up tomorrow and him and his wife in their cars...you won't have to worry about him no more." said Deuce.

"Oh yeah? Think so huh?  The cops found the bombs and worse...They found the bomber....He's in jail." said Cal Townsend..

"Huh?" said Deuce....

"You two bumbling idiots.....My contact at the police station told me that the cops have a witness who saw you two shoot  Jefferson and his driver...why didn't you take him to a private place, Why shoot him in the street, at night in front of people??" said Cal.

"Whoever it is, they won't talk Mr. Townsend...We either paid off or roughed up everybody in the neighborhood...They too scared to talk.." said Deuce...

"They got a witness..you jackass, Did you hear what I just said??A witness who they are hiding that could possibly lead the cops to you two goofs, who could possibly tie me to a double homicide!!" he said.

"Hey Mr. T....You know me and Tony would never snitch, we stone cold gangstas baby! We soldiers." he said.

"Make sure you don't...Where is the girl, how is she doing?" he asked.

"Fine...we got her holed up at Lucky's Joint on the top floor...She's been wined and dined....All that good food you had going through there....She's been taken care of real good.." said Deuce...

"Good...Any word on Bristol?" he asked.

"Nah...we still huntin...He aint been seen...You shook him...He fled town." said Deuce....

"Don't be so sure...just keep lookin." said  Cal Townsend.

I looked at Peeping Tom and Lockpick Johnson...

"We got him.!!!.We got all three of them....They killed He Man Jefferson.."I said.

"What about your girl?" asked Tom...

"I gotta find out who this "Lucky" Person is and find him and his joint.

"Always somethin huh Kev?" said Lockpick Johnson...

"Yeah man...always." I laughed.

IV-




I met Detective Carlotta Rodriguez that afternoon for drinks at Josies....

"Heard that you had a little tussle at the church with some people of interest." she laughed.

"Yeah..Deuce Watkins and Tony Anthony." I said.

"They're our prime suspects in the Jefferson -Sanders double homicide..Oh and we pulled Deuce Watkins prints off of that phone booth, but you know that all that proves is that he used the booth,doesn't say when he called." she said.

''Yeah,I know.... but I'm putting little pieces together...Hopefully enough to make it all fit together." I said.

"Your theory is that Cal Townsend asked He Man Jefferson to take a dive right?" she said.

"Yes...That's why he had so much money down on Canvas Brown...Only for some reason,pride, vanity or whatever...Jefferson didn't take the dive, which caused Cal Townsend to lose a lot of cash and mucho embarrassment..."I said.

"So then he dispatched Deuce and Tony Tony to take him out." she said.

"That's my theory." I said.

"Where does your missing woman come in?" she asked.

"You gotta understand this guy,Cal Townsend...He doesn't like to lose at anything...She spurned him for my client." I said.

"And he kidnapped her?? To prove what??" asked Carlotta.

"That he's not going to take no for an answer and that all they had was a little misunderstanding...He's a sick bird chica!" I said and smiled.

"Hmmm, this guy really knows how to treat a lady and Oh...I'm Chica now?" she laughed.....That was a nickname that Sissy had for her!

"Tell Keith and Sissy to hang tight....I got enough to bag not only them for that murder, but a kidnapping too and their boss, the gambler, Cal Townsend..." I said.

"Really?" she said.

"Really....Give me twenty four hours and you guys will be cracking your biggest case yet." I said.

"I really shouldn't be talking to you about what you do." she laughed...

I looked hurt for a minute...Then I busted out laughing...

Carlotta busted out laughing too....

It was just about to get real!

To Be Continued!

It's about to get real...I can't wait for the next installment!

It would appear that Kevin has what he needs to at least put Cal Townsend and these two goons behind bars...I know he has to find that girl first...but with them in custody, might he not get a faster answer? I'm just saying...
