Speared!

It was nice being outside of Philadelphia for a change....Sepia and I and our newborn baby girl, Kimberly were the guests of our good friends, Attorney, Robert Foxworth and his wife, Bonita Turner.......My wife's partner in the real estate business...In addition to them, My good friend and partner at work, Sean Jackson and his wife, Sheila Jackson, who practically runs the office for me during my frequent absences in my other role as a private investigator were also our guests..along with our company's attorney, and his wife, Conrad and Jill Nelson..My name is Kevin Morris...In Philadelphia ,I'm COO of Morris Communications, a multi-media corporation....on the side...I'm a Private Investigator.

We had been at the Marina in the small seaside town where Robert Foxworth, a member of the Black Scuba Diving association went to scuba dive and swim...His hobby....I could swim, due to my time in the military and my wife Sepia had been a champion swimmer in high school...We had taught his wife Bonita how to swim a few years ago...So Robert had the three of us take scuba diving lessons over the past few years so we could dive with him...My wife Sepia was a quick study...Bonita and I took a little longer, but we got our certifications..

We had been here for four days already and had been diving quite a bit...It was fun, relaxing.. We were staying at a little seaside motel in adjoining rooms...

Today , Sepia was attending to the baby, Bonita, Sheila , Jill  and I watched Robert put on his gear, we sat by quietly enjoying drinks...Sherrif James Swanson and his wife Virginia had prepared a great spread for us..
Great salads of all kinds...Chicken Salad, Potato Salad, Macaroni Salad, Multipe Green Salads, Cold Cuts, Fried Chicken , Sodas and Beers as well as wine and liquors...

We were all enjoying ourselves , eating and drinking...laughing and talking...Our baby, Kimberly was stealing the show...She was such a happy baby, always smiling...only crying when she was hungry or sleepy....I looked at her and hoped she'd always stay that way..

"You guys aren't getting in the water today?" asked Robert as he headed for the boat with several other members of the Black Scuba Divers Association...

"Nah man, not today...We are land lubbers today." I laughed as he smiled and headed for the boat..

We had a beautiful view of the sea from where we sat...

It was so relaxing here, I could stay forever I thought...

My wife Sepia looked amazing...She had lost all of her baby weight in a short amount of time...She was back to being a stone fox again..Not that she had ever stopped.. The other day when we had all gone diving ,I could barely take my eyes off of how good she looked in that bikini...I wanted to stay close to my wife and baby today...

II-

Last time Robert ,Bonita, Sepia and I had been here...He'd discovered the skeletal remains of two people ,long missing and had got me mixed up in a murder case and a scandal that blew the lid off of the peace and tranquility of this small town...I thought that after two or three years that it would be different...

Not so....When Robert came back...He looked like he'd seen a ghost!!!

His wife Bonita walked over to him....

"Baby, what's wrong?   You didn't find another dead body did you?" she joked and looked at Sepia,Sean,Sheila ,Conrad,Jill and Me and winked... I even found myself laughing...

"I did!" he said and sat down...

James Swanson walked over to him and put his hand on his shoulder...

"You're kidding right?" he said..

"No...I'm not...Guy had a spear sticking through him....I wasn't down that deep....Oh My God!"said Robert...

"Come on James...Let's go down to the Harbor, Check it out...Hey folks...We'll be back." I said.

Sean Jackson followed behind me with his camera...
III-

Sean Jackson, Sheriff James Swanson and I went down to the harbor where we saw the Coastal police dragging a body out of the ocean...The man had a huge spear protruding from his chest....He looked like he was about my age and from the looks of the body...He hadn't been in the water long...only a few hours...

Jim Swanson looked at the body...

"I know this man...That's Marvin Gypson of Gypson and Gordine...They own a business along the waterfront Kev...They got robbed about a week ago...Somebody blew their safe and stole jewelry and a large amount of cash...About five other businesses on the riverfront have been hit in the past month...but this is the first time a murder has occurred." he said.

"Wow...You guys got a mini-crime wave here..."I said.

"Yeah...which is odd for this quiet town...The most we have is a drunk and disorderly or an auto accident.."said Jim Swanson...

I looked at the body further...

This spear...I don't know much, but Robert and I went to a few Scuba tackle shops ,when we were buying gear and I've seen this type...It's top of the line..Very expensive."I said.

"Hmmm, I'll get a man to check that out."said Jim Swanson...

Poor guy....Trying to run a business and gets killed...In a town like this...I thought and shook my head.

IV-

When I got back...Everybody had retreated to their rooms...Sepia was in the room by herself....

''Hey babes"..I said.

"Hey yourself...I suppose you saw the dead guy?" she said.

"I did.." I said.

"Somehow or other this turned into a case right?" she asked smiling...

"Nope!  Just a murder...That's why they have local cops..."I said.

"Kevin, this isn't Philly...They don't have this type of thing happen around here..They probably don't even have detectives in this town."she said.

"Yeah ,I know...but I investigate for a paycheck..remember?  I don't even have a client." I said...

I looked around the room...

''Where is Kimberly?" I asked.

"Bonita and Robert have her..."said Sepia, eying me seductively....

I smiled...

I unzippered her skirt and took it off of her..She stepped out of her shoes....

I slipped my trousers and undershirt and shoes of....I put my arms around Sepia and kissed her passionately...

"Ummmmm..I like this." she said...

"Not as much as I do." I said.

Sepia laughed..

''Silly."she said.

She slipped her warm dainty little hands down my boxer shorts and gasped....Then looked at me and smiled sheepishly.....

''Oh my goodness Kevin...you have a horse in your pants.You're going to spear me with that thing" she said as she felt my bulging erection...


 Sepia and I were both breathing hard and fast and I  worked my way from her breasts to her neck and to her lips...I gently slid her panties  down around her ankles and she slipped out of them and then I walked her over to the bed ..and continued kissing her...She peeked at my erection again and shook her head...

''Oh My Goodness, look at you" she said.

"Look at you!" I said ,ogling her breasts, which looked like they'd gotten larger since she'd had a baby!

I layed Sepia across the bed and slowly entered her......She was warm and wet and I was more than ready to make love to her..but then..wasn't I always ready...hadn't I been ready the entire nine months she had been pregnant?....

We started out slow, then began to move faster and faster...The bed began to squeak furiously and the headboard began to slam against the wall...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhh, Ohhhhhhhhh baby....Ouuuuu,easy lover...easyy..ouuuuu" she moaned...

"Damnnnnnnnnnnnn gurlllllll.ohhhhhhhh Sepia, you feel so good." I moaned... as I thrusted faster and faster inside of her....She was so round, so soft, so warm....

She wrapped her legs around me so she could take all of me in and I continued....as she moaned and groaned...We slowed it down some and got into a slow rhythm...

"Ouuuuu,ummmmm, I love you so much Kevin.....ouuuuuuu." she moaned..

"I love you too Sepia..."I moaned..nearly out of breath as we continued to make sweet love...

Three  hours of sweet and intense lovemaking went by....Finally I exploded like a gusher inside of her... and she came too..shaking so furiously, that the headboard nearly came off of the bed...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...." she said....

We sat up...She leaned her head into my shoulder....

"Wow, this was nice." I said...


"It was.."Sepia agreed...


Just then there was a knocking at our hotel room door..


Sepia got up and put on a robe and went in the bathroom...I put on my boxers and a bathrobe and went to the door....


There was a short White man standing at the door...I said nothing...I just looked at him..


"Are you Kevin Morris..?" he asked.


"Who wants to know?" I asked...


"I'm Herbert Slip...Like you,I'm from Philadelphia too... Slip,Skip and Tripp insurance company..."he said and offered his hand.


I shook his hand, still saying nothing..


"Is this a bad time?" he asked.


"It could be...What do you want...?" I asked...


He eyed the room, He saw my wife's bra and her panties lying on the floor... He looked at me sheepishly..


"I see it is...Look..here is my card...Meet me at the Cantina tomorrow morning." he said.


"What is this about?" I asked.


"My company insures all of the businesses around here that have been robbed recently ,including the one belonging to the recently murdered man...I'm sure you heard about it."he said.


"I did"I said.


"They don't have a large police department here and I fear that these crimes will go unsolved and there is a lot of money at stake here....I could use someone of your expertise to look into this.." he said.


"You know me?" I said.


"I do...and you and I have a mutual friend...Lt. Sissy Van Buren of the Philadelphia Police...She raves about you...I spoke to her last week after the robberies ,when I told her I had to come up here to see what was going on...I asked her if she knew any good Private Investigators and your name was the first to come up..I called your house and stopped by your job...Imagine my surprise when I found out you were vacationing in the very town I had to visit.." he said.


"Yeah,Imagine that?" I said dryly...


"I'll pay you double your usual rate, plus a percentage of the value of anything you help to uncover.."he said.


"I like your style Mr. Slip.."I said and shook his hand..."I'll meet you in the morning." I said.


"Thank you Mr. Morris, sorry for the uh interruption "he said...Smiling at me sheepishly...

I smiled as Sepia emerged from the bathroom....

"See...I told you ,you'd have a case out of this..." she said.

I laughed...
