Tasks At Hand

Lt.Sissy Van Buren sat in her office at her desk drinking coffee...Lt. Tragg sat in her office with her...As did I..ADA Keith Wallace...

I could look at Sissy and tell that she'd rather have Lt. Cantrell or anybody else but Lt. Tragg in her office...Two of her detectives, Tyriq Pile and Edwin"Duke" Baylor hated him with a passion...A passion neither of them hid in their voices when discussing him...Another detective, James "Jimmy"Barlow called Lt. Tragg an ''Overbearing prick"and often thanked Sissy profusely for rescuing him from Lt. Tragg's unit...My wife Carlotta didn't hate him and was the only one of that bunch who could muster a kind word about the man...Sirena and Hop had never worked with or under him, so they were neutral...

I didn't particularly care for the man...He was egotistical,condescending and self absorbed and self centered and cared more about press releases and sucking up to the Commissioner and The Deputy of Operations than he did doing good police work...

He had been a great detective at one time....I had heard...but he had been co-opted by the cult of personality,had begin to love seeing himself in the paper and on the television....Today he was busy talking about his friend, the Deputy of Operations...

"I heard this straight from the Deputy of Operations Sis, If you guys don't make a break in this case soon, He's going to appoint his own task force...With uh er ruh me, heading it up....Now I don't want to step on your toes..." he said..

"Oh of course not...Whatever would make me think that?" said Sissy sarcastically... I held my head down...I was cracking up laughing...

"I know you guys are usually up to the task at hand...But what have you guys done so far?  That dead detective's funeral is tomorrow..."he said.

"We've recovered the murder weapon.!!!...And one of the stick up crew is dead!!....And another arrest is imminent..." said Sissy..

"Oh really?" said Lt. Tragg...

"Yes... and I'll be sure to let you know as soon as our suspect is brought in...So you uh can tell the Deputy of Operations and you know, he won't get blind sided."said Sissy sarcastically......

''Oh but of course." he said.

Lt. Tragg completely missed that..It went over his head...I smiled...

II-

 

Sissy hadn't been lying...In the past few days...We had put two plain clothes cops undercover in that catering business...They were white ,so as not to arouse any suspicions...Jimmy and a plain clothes policeman sat outside in a van and snapped photos of Reuben Goldberg all day long...

I got a court order from a judge that allowed us to wiretap the catering company's phones...and it's breakroom...We had also cloned Reuben Goldberg's phone and his Laptop...He was smart...He said very little on his phone to anyone...


And on the other side of town in a Laundromat...

Carlotta and Sirena walked up to a white guy who was doing his laundry....The man's name was Joshua...Joshua O'dowd..

"Heyy Papi..What's going on?" said Carlotta..

He looked her up and down and smiled...

"Hi Joshua...."said Sirena..

He smiled at her too...

"Hey how you girls know my name?" he asked just grinning..

"You pull any stick ups lately?" asked Sirena...

"You guys are cops!" he said...

"I bet you were the smartest boy in your class ,when you were in school."said Carlotta.

Sirena cracked up and pulled her badge out of her purse....

He looked at them both and then broke away and ran, pushing people out of the way...dashing towards the door..

Duke, pretending to be doing his laundry suddenly appeared and hit him with an old football block that knocked him off of his feet...

And Tyriq and Hop grabbed him and pulled him up... handcuffing him...

"Where do you think you're going?" they said as they read him his rights .....and formally charged him with conspiracy, armed robbery and first degree murder!!!

We had the first of the robbery crew in custody.....

In Atlantic City......FBI Agent Sharon Ferrell-Hopkins and three FBI agents walked up to a guy playing craps..

"You winnin Donnie?" asked Sharon....

He looked up at her...

''Do I know you?" he said.

"No...But you're going to....I'm FBI Special Agent ,Sharon Ferrell-Hopkins...I have a fugitive warrant for your arrest...See you're wanted in Philadelphia for Armed Robbery and First degree murder."she said.

"What?....You're crazy" he said.

"Hook him up boys." she said and the FBI agents handcuffed him  and read him his rights and dragged him out of the casino...

One stick up boy was dead and now we had two in custody!!

Not bad for a days work!

The Deputy of Operations was pleased! He called Sissy and personally congratulated her on a job well done....

III-

His name was Donald Contour...We identified him from his voice...we played the tape of the night of the shooting...

"Hey man, what the hell did you do?" (That was the voice of the now deceased Archie Palmer)

"I didn't know anybody was standing there...I just fired up into the air.." he said. (This was the voice of Donald "Donnie"Contour..the shooter.)

"You shot somebody...." he said.

"Well ,we can't worry about that...Come on..Let's gooo." he said and the five men rushed out of the building and leaped into their van and pulled off...

 Jimmy had taken a photo of him meeting with Reuben Goldberg ...and we had heard him talking to Reuben on the phone...

"Donnie...We gotta lay low for awhile...We may have been exposed.." said Reuben...

''Exposed ?? How?? "

"Archie got a conscience all of a sudden...." said Reuben...

"He's snitchin?  I told you he was weak.."

''Don't worry...I handled it..You should lam it....Go to AC...I'll call you when I need you..."said Reuben."

Thanks to modern technology and The FBI...We got a voice match from the audio from the stick up at the policemen's ball...and this phone conversation, matched with Jimmy's photos...We had our shooter and the murder weapon.

Carlotta and Tyriq walked into the "Fishbowl"....Both suspects were seated across from them....

Hop walked in with a plastic evidence bag and in it was a nine milimeter glock!!He dropped it on the table in front of Donnie Contour...

Carlotta looked at him....

"I believe that's yours..."she said.

He said nothing, but it was quite obvious he was nervous...He was sweating bullets...No pun intended...

"That's not...That's not mines.."he said.

Carlotta stared daggers at him....

"It's yours.....We know you were at that policeman's ball and we know you fired your gun up into the air...
It was Archie who asked you what you had done..."said Carlotta.

"What you did was , kill a cop...."said Tyriq sternly....

"You know what happens to cop killers?  They get a needle..." said Hop...

"That cop you killed was a friend of mine.."said Carlotta.

"I-I-I- I didn't mean to kill anybody...I swear....Nobody was supposed to get hurt...We just ..were hittin places for the thrill of it...I didn't mean to kill that cop.." he said, crying and laying his head on the table..

''Donnie shut up...You're puttin us in the big house." screamed Joshua O'dowd..

"You're already in the big house...We got you both cold..." said Tyriq..

Carlotta then looked quite matronly.....

"Look, I know you didn't mean to kill anybody...I got that....Make it easy on yourself...Give us that crew,the rest of that crew...and maybe, just maybe...The ADA will go easy on you both...You may live to walk free again one day...."said Carlotta...

Both men looked at each other..

"Take the deal...It's the only chance you got...We'll put you both in protective custody ,where the others can't get to you...."said Tyriq..


Donnie went for it right away....Joshua O'Dowd thought about it for awhile...Then he agreed....

Duke and I stood outside....

"Wow...Top and Rico and Hop did their thing...Got both of em..."said Duke.....

''Yeah...Sissy will be glad to hear this....Your favorite Lieutenant was over here today....He told her that if you guys didn't get some results soon..that the Deputy Ops was going to appoint his own task force to look into this with him running it." I said.

"Tragg?? He couldn't run a Stage coach." said Duke...

I cracked up.

IV-

The Deputy of Operations paid Lt.Sissy Van Buren a special visit...Standing with him was Lt. Tragg...

"Sissy...Once again your detectives have proven to be the best in the city...I heard you guys have the shooter and another of the stick up boys in custody.." he said.

"I do....and another of the stick up crew is dead...Three more arrests are imminent...Like within the next 24 hours sir." she said.

''Damn good work...I had complete faith that you and your six detectives could take down this crew...Tragg here wanted to bring in more detectives and head up a Task force...I knew that would be a bad idea..It's never worked before." he said glaring at Tragg....

"Well uh..Uh...Uh...I just thought..."he said..

"Yeah, you're always just thinking...Thinking about being on the 11:00 o'clock news or in the papers...Sometimes it's about the work.."said The Deputy of Operations...

''Yes sir...you are definitely right sir."he said and exited Sissy's office ...

The Deputy of Operations looked at Sissy and smiled..She smiled back...

"Always a pleasure Lieutenant..."he said and saluted her...She stood and saluted him..

"If you need anything...just let me know."he said.

"Thank you sir." she said.

Jimmy was just turning in...

''Hey Guys...That Reuben guy is as slick as oil.. He doesn't talk in that Catering club at all and makes few phone calls...Everything is face to face with him...He's smart, but I think we identified the other two guys in that crew..." he said.

Sissy signaled all of us to come in her office.. Jimmy,Carlotta,Tyriq,Duke,Sirena,Hop and Sharon all came into Sissy's Office..She closed the door.

"I just want to tell you all that I love you  guys and I couldn't have a better bunch of detectives...as well as a friend in the FBI.."she said looking at Sharon.

I smiled...She was right...This was a great bunch of guys...They took seemingly impossible cases and cracked them...

V-

 

 

We took some time off to attend Detective Tegron's funeral...I had known Duke ,Tyriq, Angie,Sissy and Sirena so long as Detectives that I forgot what they looked like in their police blues...Carlotta had hers on too and so did Hop...

It was a very sad funeral....Lots of crying..Lots of solemn faces...

One cop came up to me..

''I heard you killed one of them and you got two in custody..."he said.

"We didn't kill anybody..One of them was murdered, probably by his own people and we caught two of them.."I said.

"You need to leave the jail open....Let me and my guys get at em." he said and patted me on the back...

I was glad I had had Sharon lock them up in the federal holding facility...I wanted no chance of these guys having some unfortunate accident before we could go to trial...Plus I needed Goldberg and the other two members of that crew.

Later at home...Carlotta sat on my lap in the living room...She had on one of my night shirts and a string bikini panty...I was in my boxers...

"You did good today.." I said."You got the man that killed your friend and another guy in that stick up crew."I said.

Carlotta smiled and wrapped her arms around my neck..She kissed me softly...She said nothing...
She kissed me some more and began to rub and fondle my steadily raging erection...

''Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.."I moaned..

''Papi...I've done cop work all day and I've been to a funeral...The funeral of a friend..."she said in between kisses...

"No more shop talk."she said.

"Yes mami." I said...

She looked at me and smiled...Then laughed .....

We continued kissing and fondling each other for the longest time...

Carlotta was so soft, smelled so naturally good and had surprisingly soft kisses that seemed to evaporate into thin air...She was like a drug and I was hooked on her...

I layed Carlotta across our bed...I pressed the head of my pulsing penis into her dripping wet vagina, then pulled out again.She moaned..."Ohhhh, papi don't tease me...ohhhh, give it all to mami..."

I entered her several more times like this, until I could feel her pushing harder and harder against me. I grabbed her hips, and pushed all the way into her. She gasped,

''OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY GAWDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD! OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.Ayyyyye MIOS DIOS!!!"

as she jerked forward for a moment, then braced herself before thrusting her nice round behind back against my penis. I watched, as each thrust sent waves rippling through her like waves breaking on the shore.

We went at it just like this for close to two hours..Carlotta's moans gradually became louder and louder. I grabbed her hair from behind, and pushed her head into the pillow. Her arms reached for the headboard of the bed and gripped it tightly as her vagina contracted in orgasmic releases.
"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu doddy doddy dodddy....I like it....." she moaned...

Her heavy spanish accent turned me on even more....

 I was about to come, I thrust harder and harder into her welcoming flesh. I exploded with a wild abandon... The orgasm felt like it lasted several minutes, even though it was just seconds.She came violently too..Shaking and rattling the headboard against the wall. I collapsed on top of her, kissing the nape of her neck.
She turned and began kissing me and rubbing my penis until I came again....like a gusher.......It seemed as if she was cumming again too...

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, KEITHHHHHHHH!!!.....Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu it felt so goooood.." she moaned as we both collapsed on top of each other...


''That was Amazing!"she said leaning up and kissing me again...

I was out of breath.....


''I'm just glad...I'm just glad ...I'm just glad I was....Up to the task at hand " I said and fell backwards on the bed...

Carlotta cracked up laughing....

"You always have been.." she said and wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me slowly and softly again...

Carlotta lie down beside me...Our legs intertwined and we drifted off to sleep...The most relaxing fulfilling sleep we had both had in a long time.
