First Day of Spring

Hours went by and I woke up.....I heard a car from a distance ,starting up and pulling off....I smiled...I was certain that that was Evan Tool, taking off, heading towards the bank....

It was long afterwords that I heard the door in the next room closing silently and the sound of footsteps going down the hall and down the stairs...I heard another car pulling off at top speed...

I wondered who that was..Brenda or Cyrus Tickle??? Time passed by...Robert Foxworth woke up eventually...

"Robert...Robert...Two of them have left?" I said.

"Yeah? Which two?" he asked.

"My guess is Evan and Brenda or Evan and Tickle...The second car pulled off in a huff!" I said.

"That was Tickle...He probably discovered that his boy has double crossed him." said Robert...

I smiled...I hoped he was right.

II-

A little while later, The lock on the door began to turn... It was Kitty Holland!! she had cooked our breakfast...Pancakes and Sausage....She also had two hot tumblers of coffee
with her...

It was now or never...I had to push to get us out of there!

"Kitty...Look at you...You've been crying....I can see it in your eyes...I heard you outside the door last night... You know and I know what went on in that room last night...He was in there with Brenda...Making sweet love...No...That wasn't sweet love, that was just sex...Wild sweaty jungle love sex...That man doesn't know love...He doesn't care that you love him, that you've been ridin with him all this time...You know it and I know it...Let's stop the charade." I said.

Smooth talking Robert, who had charmed the panties off of many women took up where I left off...

"Baby look...he's lying to you...He's been lying to you....He don't really love you, he aint never loved no one but himself...Everything me and Kev told you was true Baby girl...we aint never lied to you....We told you that he wasn't a surgeon, we told you that he wasn't a lawyer anymore...didn't we?  He's a liar....He's been stringing both of you girls along...He never intended to split any of that money with you...We heard him talking last night through the walls..He intends to kill you, me, Kev,Evan and run off with Brenda....Knowing him, when he's done with her, he'll kill her too...You don't take sand to the beach baby.....Now come on honey...With your cute face....Give us the gun.." he said...

"You really think I have a cute face?" she said...

"Baby...if I wasn't married....I'd be all over you gurllllll. It's all I can do to control myself right now..." said Robert....

It was all I could do not to laugh....No wonder Robert was such a good lawyer...He could sell ice to an Eskimo!

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, he was such a user....I loved him...I loved that mannnnnn,OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH and he spitefullly used me....OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH......I guess I knew it all along...but I didn't want to believe it...OhhhhhhhhhhhhhLAWDDDDDDDDD!!" she cried....

She passed me the .45.....I checked it to make sure it was loaded...It was...

Brenda walked into the room....She yawned..She had on a Black lace babydoll with a black lace matching thong underneath....Robert's eyes nearly went out of his head...

"Kitty, what have you done? Where is Cyrus?" she said.

"He's gone...He and Evan...They never intended to share any money with either of you...They played you two like a deck of cards."I said.

"No....No...Cyrus would never do that to me....Maybe Fat girl over here, but not me?" she said.

Kitty spun around....Something angry, something deep, something primal erupted in her....

"THIS IS YOUR FAULT....YOU SHAMELESS HEIFFER!!....THE WHOLE TIME ME AND CYRUS BEEN ENGAGED, YOU BEEN IN THE PICTURE, TRYIN YOUR BEST TO COME BETWEEN US!!!...WELL NO MORE.....HEIFFER ,I'LL STRIP YOU NAKED!" she said.

"YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!" screamed Robert Foxworth...

"Hey, Hey Robert..Get ahold of yourself.!!!" I said.

"I'm sorry...I'm sorry Kevin..I-I-I... lost uh, lost control of myself for a minute." he said.

I shook my head and laughed...but what happened next was not funny at all,depending on how you looked at it...

Brenda attempted to hit Kitty, Bad mistake!!!...Kitty blocked her feeble attempt to throw a punch....I turned my head...I knew what was coming next wasn't going to be good..

Kitty slapped Brenda so hard that she literally left her feet and slammed against the wall..She snatched her and then ripped the lace baby doll off of her...leaving the poor woman only in a thong...

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!  NO YOU DIDN'T" screamed Brenda!! ,nearly in tears.....

Both Robert and my eyes nearly popped out of her heads!!!!!...

"I'll kill you!" screamed Brenda as she began swinging in a windmill style and charging Kitty....But something about Kitty told me that she had either grown up in the hood or had brothers...She side stepped Brenda's wild throws like a pro boxer and hauled off and slapped her again, again and again...!!!! Brenda was stunned....

Brenda got close and ripped Kitty's blouse off, revealing Kitty's huge and very round breasts.....Kitty slapped her several times...Heavy slaps that was knocking Brenda senseless....

"YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!" screamed Robert again.....It was clear that despite our circumstances...He was enjoying this...Maybe a little too much,I thought!

I ignored him and grabbed Kitty...

"That's enough...That's enough!!!....You'll kill her." I said...

She released Brenda who fell to the floor, semi-conscious....and crying.....

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, he was such a user....I loved him...I loved that mannnnnn,OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH and he spitefullly used me....OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH......I guess I knew it all along...but I didn't want to believe it...Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh LAWDDDDDDDDD!!" she cried...."LAWDDDDDDDDDDDD jesusssssssssssssssssssssssss! I loved that man! " she wailed.

"It's okay...It's alright Kitty, It's alright now..." said Robert with his smooth silver toned voice....

I now understand why women like Sissy Van Buren, Corrine, Cindy Waters,Bonita,Brooke Taylor and so many others surrendered to him in the bedroom...He was a seductive artist...I just smiled..

III-

Robert and I drove Kitty and Brenda into downtown San Juan....I pulled over at the hospital...

"Ladies , this is the end of the line." I said.

"Huh?  You're not turning us in to the police?" asked Brenda....Now dressed in some jeans, a nice blouse and some sandals...holding a cold compact to the side of her badly swollen face...

"No...Neither one of you...You're both victims...Cyrus Tickle used you both...You've both suffered enough...I'm lettin you both go....You're free, free of him, free to start a new life with a clean slate. Brenda, go in there and get you some first aid." I said.

Brenda began to cry....

"Ohhhh Thank You Mr. Kevin, Mr. Robert...I'm so sorry for all of this...Sorry I got mixed up with a loser like Tickle..." she said.

Kitty looked at us...

"I'm so sorry about all of this too......So sorry he got your money." she said.

"Ohhh, don't worry about that...They didn't get a red cent....But they're both about to get their just desserts." I said...

Brenda and Kitty got out of the truck...

"Have a good life ladies." I said...

"Thank you sooo much."said Brenda.

"Oh Thank you Kevin...Thank you sooo much." said Kitty Holland..

Robert and I waved and we pulled off....

"Where to now Kev?" he asked...

"To the Federal building.. There's two people there I'm just dying to see." I said..

Robert laughed...He laughed out loud...

"Guess what Kev." He said.

''What?" I said.

"Today is the first day of Spring.." he said.

The temperature was in the high 90's...People were walking around in shorts and print shirts.... It was close to noon...

"It's always spring here." I said.

IV-

Robert and I drove to the federal building in San Juan....and not to my surprise...sitting in ajoining cells was Evan Tool and Cyrus Tickle...

They had both gone to the bank expecting the money to be there in the dummy account...Instead, about 16 FBI Agents and several Policemen were waiting for both of them...They were both handcuffed and taken into custody...Hours before we arrived...

Robert and I walked by their cells and pointed at them, laughing...

"You crossed me up again Kevin....Once again you have cheated me out of my money." he said.

"Oh will you get over it Cyrus?...That wasn't your money..Not ever....I doubt that my uncle ever promised you anything...It certainly wasn't in the will...Besides you've got an appointment with a needle don't you?" I said.

He gave me the middle finger!   I laughed...He angrily stomped his foot!

"Goodbye you lyin cheatin crook and this time...I mean goodbye!!!" said Robert Foxworth...

"Bahhhhh  I needed that money....I had plans for that money...it was MINE!!,MINE!! MINE!!!DO YOU HEAR ME?? MINE!!!!  " screamed Cyrus Tickle....who stomped his foot  again and gritted his teeth..
Poor,poor deluded little psychopath, I thought as Robert and I left the cell block....

An FBI agent walked over to us...

"I'm Special Agent Raymond Dominguez.... Thank you for the tip....Your wife gave us great information....Better than she could know...We raided that phony hotel they were keeping you guys at and we rounded up 10 guys and 2 women....They were all waiting for a payment from Tickle....A payment he was never going to make!...That's why we are keeping him here in the federal building...For his safety! They are all pretty pissed at him." he laughed...

Robert and I laughed too... "I can't imagine why!...I'm bettin Evan Tool isn't too happy with him either." I said.

I told them where they could find the body of a local thug who had been working with Tickle and Tool....They had buried  him in back of the house they had been holding us hostage in.

"Well , that wraps this case up. Come on counselor....We've got a plane to catch back to Philly...I miss my wife..." I said.

"You?? I been missin mine...Comin down here to save your behind and gettin caught up in all this mess." he said...

We both cracked up laughing!

EPILOUGE-

Sepia met me at the Airport....I was glad to see her...I was glad to be back in Philly!

Evan Tool and Cyrus Tickle were extradited back to Philadelphia where they were tried for Kidnapping, False imprisonment,Fraud, Wire fraud and several Bank Robberies..They both earned additional Life sentences to go with both of their Death sentences...They are both presently in a Maximum Security Prison in upstate Pennsylvania.

I never heard from Brenda again...But I did see Kitty Holland in town once...She had lost close to 150 pounds and was engaged to her doctor....I was happy for her.

**********************************************************************************

Sepia woke up drenched in sweat as did I once again , between my legs with her head on my chest....We had made love from the time I got in the door until presently.... We were exhausted ,but satisfied...

"Wow...you really missed me didn't you?" she said.

"Yes I did.." I said ,catching my breath....

"Well old Cyrus Tickle will no doubt , no longer be a problem to you again.." she said.

"Thank goodness....Poor deluded crazy old man....I'm going to miss him." I said.

"What?" asked Sepia...

"Yeah...He was one of  my few adversaries who actually out smarted me and got the best of me...He was in his own way ,kind of fun..." I mused...

"Oh my God...you're still feeling the effects of that drug he used on you." laughed Sepia...

I laughed and peered out the window....The sun was shining bright....It was Spring...the air was warmer!
