You'd Be Surprised

Mabel and Baby Phat brought our plates to us....Clerow, myself, Eddie ''Spaghetti"Collins, The recently liberated Ruby Fowler and surprise, surprise, the gambler, Stephen Bristol.....were enjoying a meal together.

Clerow and I had scrambled eggs and cheese with bacon, orange juice and a tumbler of coffee...Ruby and Eddie had Blueberry Pancakes with sausage and hash browns..They looked at each other in a way that was strangely too warm, too familliar!

Stephen Bristol had a Mimosa and a Spanish Omelet with Turkey Bacon....He was beaming with happiness as he passed me another envelope filled with cash...A down payment for me finding and rescuing Ruby Fowler...

"I know this is not like the places you usually dine in." I said to Bristol...

"Are you kidding?  Everybody who is anybody knows that Mabel Jenkins is the best cook in the city....I've enjoyed her cuisine for years." said Bristol...

While what he said might have been true, regarding Mabel....He rarerly if ever set foot in this part of town...and all of us, Me, Clerow, Eddie and even Ruby Fowler...knew that, but we let him get away with his little white lie.

He held Ruby's hand and rubbed it gently......she seemed surprisingly annoyed.

"I was worried sick about you baby." he said.

"Oh really? I couldn't tell." she said in a surprisingly dry tone.

"Are you kidding? I put out a lot of cash....I reached out and found this man, Kevin Morris, the best private investigator in the city to locate you and rescue you....And thanks to him...some dangerous men are behind bars.." he said.

"Uh...I know...I know Stephen....Now let go of my hand....This food is delicious and you're keeping me from it." she said softly.

Clerow and I eyed each other...She didn't seem to be grateful at all...Stephen Bristol was afterall telling the truth....Then again,the fact that he went into hiding while Eddie ''Spaghetti"Collins handled the logistics and me and my guys did the heavy lifting didn't exactly look manly either.. A fact that wasn't lost on me...

I looked at Eddie...He smiled a little bit, but said nothing....He eyed his plate....I just smiled...

II-

Deuce Watkins had been arrested the night before and charged with two counts of first degree murder and kidnapping.....Detectives Tyriq Pile and Edwin "Duke"Baylor ,along with six uniformed Philadelphia Policemen made the arrest...

Anthony "Tony Tony" Anthony was arrested in the early morning hours at the Greyhound Bus Station by Homicide Lt. Sissy Van Buren and Detective Carlotta Rodriguez, along with six uniformed Philadelphia Policemen..

He too was charged with two counts of first degree murder and kidnapping....With both of them in custody and a high profile double homicide closed...Lt.Sissy Van Buren and ADA Keith Wallace was very happy...I heard she was up for a special accomodation from the mayor.

Of course the most satisfying arrest of all was the arrest of Gambler and Mastermind...
Cal Townsend... by who else?,  My favorite Latina Detective....Carlotta Rodriguez..and Detective Tyriq Pyle and six uniformed Philadelphia policemen.  Lt. Sissy Van Buren was also present.

He yelled and screamed as she handcuffed him...

"There must be some kind of mistake...I'm Cal Townsend....Do you know who I am??? I don't get arrested...I don't go to jail....I had nothing to do with this...You-You-You can't prove a thing...I don't even know those hoodlums.....I'm Cal freakin Townsend....I'll have your badge lady....You are in sooooo much trouble." he yelled...

Carlotta just looked at him and said...

"It's tank time papi...tell it to the judge."

III-

Meanwhile our meal was finished...Stephen Bristol wouldn't allow us to pay for our meals...He paid for everything and he thanked me again...

"Thank you so much Kevin....I knew you'd wrap things up...as it turns out...this worked out better than I could have hoped...Cal and all of his operatives are safely behind bars." he said.

"Yup...for a long time I hope." I said as I shook his hand...

He looked over at Ruby and rubbed her hands...

"Come on dear...I've got my suite ready....We have a lot of catching up to do." he laughed..

"Uhhh not today Stephen....I uh have a slight headache...after all of the excitement of the past two weeks." she said.

"Really?" said a disapointed Stephen Bristol....

"Yes...uh Eddie is going to take me home." she said.

I watched Eddie...He had a sly grin on his face...

"Well uh....okay....Eddie would you be so kind as to drive her home?" asked Stephen Bristol.

"Sure....My car is right outside." he said.

The two got in his car and pulled off...

Stephen Bristol shrugged his shoulders and frowned a bit...

I smiled and patted him on the back and Clerow and I left....

On the drive back to my house....Clerow asked me....

"Was it me or did she seem kind of cold to our boy?" he asked.

"Oh she was...she was...I peeped it...I got a funny feeling the other day...Just talking to Eddie...So I had Lockpick Johnson and Peeping Tom bug his spot." I said.

"Huh? What? You think he's mixed up in this?" asked Clerow.

"Oh no...no...Nothing like that....He's a straight up dude...He was invaluable when it came to me cracking this case....This is something else." I said.

When we got to my house...I switched on my monitor and direct feed....

I looked at Clerow.....

"Watch and learn Clerow..." I said as we watched the feed from Eddie Collins house...

My suspicions were correct...They didn't go to Ruby's house...they went to Eddie's house and they weren't in the house five minutes before Eddie had Ruby up against the wall....had his tongue practically down her throat and had her panties down and his trousers down around his ankles....

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh goddddddddddddddddd Ruby...I couldn't wait.....I missed you sooo much!   Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.." moaned Eddie between wet,sloppy passionate kisses.....

''I missed you tooooo..ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..oh Eddie, give it to me, give it to meeee, give mommy that good lovin...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."she moaned...

Eddie had her up against the wall...She slipped his boxers down and he entered her furiously.....

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...ohhhhhhhhhhh Eddie.....I couldn't wait to get out of there...and get back to your house." she screamed.

Both of them looked like two dogs in heat as they tore into each other.....

Clerow and I looked at each other .....Clerow was completely taken back...I was no longer surprised....

He picked her up and walked her to his bedroom, not missing a beat and still thrusting...sucking on her breasts furiously and trembling...

''Ohhhhhh Eddie..Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh babyyyyyyy."she moaned....

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.." he graoned....

He stretched her across the bed and continued stroking her....now much slower....

"Morrrrrrrrrrrrre...more....." she pleaded...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh this is soooo goood." he moaned. The bed slammed against the wall furiously and the springs began to squeak like crazy...

Clerow looked at me....He smiled that toothy grin of his...

"Eddie is puttin it in!!!!." he laughed.

"Aint he though?" I laughed.

"How long you think this has been goin on?" asked Clerow...

"Probably longer than either Cal or Bristol knew...Eddie was always in their company.... He probably was too afraid to tell Bristol for fear that he'd lose his job." I said.

"He could still lose his job." said Clerow.

"Yes...but does it look like he cares?" I asked with a smile. Clerow cracked that toothy grin of his and shook his head.

''What you gonna do with this boss?" he asked.

"Probably destroy it." I said. "I just suspected there was something extra about Eddie and now I'm sure of it." I continued.

"You're not going to tell Mr. Bristol?" he asked.

"Nah...He'll probably figure it out eventually." I said.

"Wow....I thought Eddie was his main man...Can't believe he was even thinkin about making a move on his bosses girl." said Clerow.

"You'd be surprised what people think about." I said. "Even more surprised by what they actually wind up doing..." I added...

''Indeed."said Clerow.

Sepia and I took a relaxing shower together and were relaxing in our living room by an open fire....listening to some smooth jazz..

''Wow lover...seems like this is where we always wind up." she said in between an embrace...

"Yeah, how about that?" I mused...


"I can't believe that Eddie was involved with Ruby Fowler." she said.

"Yeah...hot and heavy....Thing is....I suspected it from the beginning....I don't know why....Just the way he sounded when he spoke of her...The looks on his face...I don't know." I said.

"Intuition??" she mused...

"Yeah , something or another like that." I said.

"I thought only we women had that." she laughed.

"You'd be surprised." I laughed.
