Keys

Carlotta and I sat at our booth kissing passionately...It was early in the morning, no other customers were in Sam Mother's Diner....

"Papi I think we'd better stop....People will be coming in..." she said, giggling and running her index finger across my lips..

"Yeah you're right....but you do understand that right now...I can't even get up.." I said smiling slyly...

"Ouuuu...you are soooo bad." laughed Carlotta, blushing slightly.....

Just then...Jimmy and Angie walked in..They were holding hands, giggling and kissing every other second...

"Hey you two...break it up." laughed Angie...

"Hey guys...Did you order yet?" asked Jimmy....

"No..We were waiting for everybody else." said Carlotta...

"Hello Newlyweds..." I said..

"Hey guys....First, you guys get involved in a big Federal Investigation right before my wedding...and then you guys get involved with a serial killing case...Wow you guys just don't want me and my honey to be alone together do you?" said Angie joking and leaning over to kiss Jimmy again..

"Okay,break it up..Break it up..All this mush.." came the voice of Detective Tyriq Pile and his wife, Detective Sirena Pile as they walked in and took a booth behind us...

"Heyyy Angie girl..." said Sirena...

"Hey Sirena...I was just getting us airline tickets for our honeymoon...We are trying to wait until Sissy gets married..."said Angie..

"We don't want yall to go, that's why we tellin this serial killer to do all this stuff , so you guys will stay here...you know we can't function without you and Siss around." joked Duke as he and his wife ,Hazel walked in and sat down at the booth with Tyriq and Sirena..

"Oh Don't pay him any mind girl..We've got a few breaks...Our killer got a little sloppy..."said Hazel as she took her seat..

"Yes he did and I am so hurt that you guys didn't include me in your investigation...You know I love serial murder and bizzare criminal profiles joked FBI Deputy Special Agent in charge, Sharon Ferrell-Hopkins and her husband, Detective Antonio "Hop" Hopkins...Who finally joined us..

"Yeah Old boy made several mistakes...He's not as smart as he may have thought." said Hop.

"How did he make a mistake? What do you mean?" I asked..

Carlotta smiled..."Can I start?" she said..

"Go Ahead...Tell him Top.." said Tyriq..

''Well...Rico, Sirena,Jimmy ,Hop and I went back over all of their financials...cross checking and looking for some type of link..Since these people didn't socialize and probably hadn't seen each other...and we found something...Valencia Tabor, Rita Ransome,Gail Hooker,Tyrone McGlorin and Wally Pike all had their house keys duplicated in the past year or so...You know...They either lost a key or needed their keys duplicated to give to somebody...All of them used the same Locksmith..."Campus Locksmith" said Carlotta.

"Yeah and we found pieces of a plastic substance in the doorlocks of five of the six victims..."said Hop.

"The plastic comes from a three dimensional copier...A very sophisticated piece of equipment...and guess who has a machine just like this?  Campus Locksmith!"he continued.

"This was Thaddeus Barber's last known place of employment ...He simply took a digitalized photo of their key and made a plastic duplicate of the key ....That's why you didn't find any sign of breaking and entering...The killer let himself in."said Sharon.

"The place is a real mom and pop operation....No cameras...Me and Rico stopped by there..An old man works there now with his daughter.She has no connection to any of our victims." said Duke.

"But there was a guy who worked there for close to a year that quit...about a week before the murders started... Thaddeus Barber.." said Tyriq.

"And here is where it gets cute...Thaddeus Barber went to that same high school and knew all six of our murder victims...In fact,Henry Shenk was his counselor...We have no recent photos of him..Only high school photos and we have no address for him..no drivers license...no credit cards, no debit cards, no bank account..He got paid by check and cashed his check at a check cashing place..." said
Sirena.

"I checked out the check cashing place and I got one grainy photo of him and guess what??It's a match for the guy we have on an ATM camera leaving the scene of our double homicide two nights ago." said Jimmy.

"I have a palm print and a fingerprint..If you guys get him and we match it to him...You have your killer."said Hazel.

"Boss Lady will be happy...She's been so on edge, soo sad lately..."said Carlotta.

"Where is Siss,wasn't she supposed to be here today?" asked Angie...

"No....She told me that she had some other business to attend to." said Carlotta.

We ordered our food and got quiet after that...We clearly were worried about Sissy...

II-

Eddie C. sat on the steps of Deacon Basil Robinson's home...He smiled when he saw Sissy coming across the street...

"You aren't supposed to be here...We aren't supposed to be seeing each other.." he said..

"I had to see you today..." she said.

"Work?  I've been watching the news...I hear that there is a serial killer on the loose...They are calling him the cheerleader killer....even though he's killed two jocks now..."said Eddie C. with a smile.

Sissy smiled..

"How can you smile? This is serious....I've got six of my best detectives staying up all times of night trying to crack this case...They've put in serious overtime.." she said.

"Well, that's their job...and that's why Keith Wallace sent them to you...They're the best...You don't have to micro-manage them...They'll crack it..Look at you ,all stressed out." he said rubbing her hands..

"I liked the bouquet of roses you sent me...Thank you..That was sweet..but you've sent me roses three days in a row...The guys are teasing me." she said with a smile..

"I don't care...It's the only way I can at least keep you on my mind, keep you close to me..by doing something for you.." he said.

"I really loved the flowers." she said managing a smile...

"You got the sexiest smile...Anybody ever tell you that Siss?" he asked..

"Every guy I've ever known has told me that." she said...

"You can't keep standing here like this..Looking all good, smelling all good and smiling at me..I'm trying to control myself  until we get married.." he said.

"We've got a week and a half...I mean...You're only not supposed to see the bride, the day before the wedding...This is a bit extreme.." she said looking at him sheepishly...

"It is isn't it?" he said...

III-

"Eddie...Do you have something naughty in mind?" asked Sissy, smiling sheepishly as they entered his room and he closed the door and locked it..

"I certainly do...You don't know how bad I've been jonesin for you lately..." he said..

Sissy eyed the huge bulge in his trousers that he wasn't even trying to conceal and smiled sheepishly..

"My,My...I think I have an idea.." she said...

He took her suit jacket off and unhooked her shoulder holster...He smiled..

"I like a woman with a gun.." he said..

"I like your gun better." she said.

He smiled salaciously...He peeled her blouse off and just marveled at her breasts ,concealed by a flowery lace bra...

"Damn girl" was all he could say...He unhooked it and began to kiss and suck her breasts lightly...

She unzippered his trousers and marveled at his width and girth...

"Ohhhh my goodness....Eddie...Look at you...My..My..MY...." she said...

Sissy looked at Eddie...He looked at her...Within minutes they were kissing each other passionately again...in the middle of the floor...She slipped his boxers down and he slipped her panties down and off... They didn't moan or cry out, even though They both wanted to...They were in someone else's house...(Basil and his wife had just left for work..)Sissy fondled him gently,which was driving him crazy...He licked and sucked her breasts...Which was doing the same to her...But she didn't say a word...She opened her mouth a little, but no sounds came out..

Sissy straddled Eddie on the bed... , They continued kissing...laughing ,silently....She kissed his neck, his chest, his cheeks and finally his lips...He kissed her breasts and her neck...finally, he was entering her luscious body....

Moving in and out slowly....Sissy moved up and down slowly....They both wanted to cry out..but they didn't...

The bed squeaked a little bit , They smiled..but resisted the urge to cry out....Sissy began licking his neck and sucking on it,which made Eddie begin moving deeper and deeper into her warm and wet lusciousness.......

"Ummmm..I missed you Eddie.." she said quietly..."Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh."she moaned.

"I missed you too baby...ohhhhhhhh.." he moaned...

"This is driving me crazy...." he moaned silently...

''Me too..ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.." she moaned..

 Sissy kept moving up and down and then from side to side...The bed was rocking and slamming against the wall...They slowed down a bit...Sissy looked like she was climaxing...Eddie slowed down immensely and moved in a little harder.....She let out a soft whisper...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu... ooh my God....I sooo needed this..."

"Ohhhhhh ,so did I Siss.." he said..

They kept on at it for another three hours...surprised at how quiet their lovemaking  was...They managed to climax together...holding each other tightly..and breathing heavy...Kissing each other as if it were going out of style.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Eddie...ouuuuuuuu that was soooo nice." said Sissy in between wet sloppy kisses...

"Yes lord."he said.

Sissy giggled and ran her index finger across his lips...

"Oh My God Eddie, that was awesome..Whoooooo."whispered Sissy..

"They'll be gone for a few more hours... Basil is taking his wife shopping..They need a new refrigerator and the kids are with his sister in law."said Eddie.

"You know the whole schedule don't you ?" laughed Sissy...

They started kissing again...She fondled Eddie softly some more...He was going bananas.....Eddie ,not surprisingly felt himself getting hard again...and began to move slowly inside and out of her....once again!!! An hour and a half went by...more kissing, more sweet lovemaking..

 Sissy began to shake and gyrate and more tears began to stream down her face....

"Ouuuuuuuuu,Oh my goodness Eddie...Eddie...EDWARD where do you get the energy from? Didn't you come already?OHHHH MY GODDDDD!!!!" she asked as he began stroking her again....He had not...

Eddie said nothing....He just went about his business...The business of rocking Sissy's world..Another hour and a half went by....

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh goood lawd!" she moaned...

She felt as though she was climaxing several times....then in  huge waves...she whispered in his ear...

''Oh My god...I'm cumming....Eddie.....ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..I've never cum this hard before...ouuuuuuuuuu...Ouuuuuuuuuuuu goodnesssss..." she softly cooed... , which made Eddie climax himself..exploding literally and shaking mightily...he put his hand over Sissy's mouth...

Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu ...ohhhhhhh my God....ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.." she moaned silently..
.
Eddie again collapsed on top of Sissy...He lie there on top of her for a moment, then finally ,he pulled out and lie on his back...breathing heavily...She lie still...

"Whooooo..that felt sooo good..I really need to be going...I've got to go home and change clothes.."said Sissy...

Eddie kissed her neck....She giggled...and gave him a big wet juicy kiss....

"Don't go..."he said softly..

"Okay...that's enough....that's enough....I'm exhausted baby...Calm down ..Downnn boy....." she said ,smiling...He ignored her and continued kissing her neck and her cheek and she continued giggling......Eddie was still very excited as Sissy could see...He was as hard as a tree trunk..


"Oh My God....Do you ever get enough?" she said , slowly and softly rubbing his once again,rock hard erection..

"To answer your question..No...Not of you" Eddie said ,smiling salaciously....

"Ouuu..I could grow to like this." she said and kissed him passionately..

Minutes later, Eddie was mounting Sissy again...She put her legs around his waist he and began to slowly move up and down..He was rock hard...

"Oh my god Eddie, you really were missing me..." she exclaimed as they began to make sweet love once again...

"This is Three times this morning....Oh My Goddd...? Ouuuuuuuu....Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, oh my goodness..ouuuuuu..EDDIE" she said, smiling.....Thinking about how Carol Redding and Ed Cantrell sounded through their bedroom window that day the unit was investigating a murder next door to them...The Serial Killer could be next door to them right now and she wouldn't care or hear a thing...She perfectly understood...Nothing like good loving...

Two hours went by like minutes...and Sissy began to climax again....Shaking....tears and sweat running down her face and holding on for dear life....Eddie C. exploded himself minutes later......shaking his head back and forth and stiffening up...He held her for a few minutes before she climbed off of him and lay flat on her back,breathing heavily...She looked at him and smiled...

"Whooooo...I didn't expect that..." she said...

"You feel better?" he asked..

"Yes....I got what I needed....More than what I needed..Oh My god...Ouuu" she said...

"And what was that?" he asked ,smiling confidently..

"You!  You were the key to what I needed to feel happy..secure..Ouuuuu, wait a minute....ohhhhhhhh lawd....ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"she said ,still shaking and moaning.....

He hugged her..

"You were the key to mine too babes..."he said and kissed her on the cheek....She pulled him to her and passionately kissed him for a few minutes.

They both got in the shower together..Kissing and fondling each other to climax as the hot soapy water ran soothingly across their  bodies...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Edddieeeee...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.." she moaned...

"Ummmmmmmmmm.." he moaned...

A little later,Sissy got dressed and put on make up...Eddie sat on the bed, staring at her and smiling..while she fixed her hair..

"What?" asked Sissy...

"I'm such a lucky man... marrying all of this...Damn girl...You blew my mind in the bed.." he said,shaking his head..

"And you blew mine.." she said and leaned over and kissed him softly...He tried to pull her back into the bed..but she broke his embrace...

"Ugh..Ugh...that's enough....I'm saving the rest for our honeymoon.Shame on us..Carrying on like this in the Deacon's house." she said and smiled as she left Basil's house..got in her car and pulled off.

IV-

 It was late in the afternoon...We were all in the conference room looking at a photo of our chief suspect and person of interest...Thaddeus Barber...

"So guys , what do we know about this guy?" I asked..

"His name is Thaddeus Barber...He went to high school with all of the victims...but according to people we have interviewed who knew him..He wasn't particularly friendly with any of them..He was a loner..a computer geek..an intellectual..Made straight A's..Graduated nearly at the top of his class."said Carlotta.

"We don't have an address for him...only a P.O. Box..I've got unis and plain clothes guys in his old neighborhood and at that P.O. Box looking for him.."said Sirena..

"We aren't releasing our findings to the media yet..We don't want to spook him...and just in case this guy has a police radio scanner..We've kept it off of the police radio..We've briefed those who need to know in person." said Duke.

"So what happened to this guy after high school?" I asked..

"He went to West Chester University for two years, then transferred to Millersville University for a year and finally transferred to Cheyney where he got his bachelor's degree in Communications/Journalism...From what we gathered..He wasn't a very popular student..Didn't have a girlfriend and constantly got in fights with the frat boys and the jocks.."said Tyriq...

"So check this out...He next went to Temple where he did a little better, got a Master's Degree and then attempted to enter Air Force Officer's Training School...He didn't make it...He then Attempted to go in the Naval Flight academy..again didn't make it..He bummed around and had internships at several local Radio and Television stations in the area and worked at retail jobs to support himself..
He's been at several apartments...but he's no longer at any that we checked..."said Jimmy..

"He got any family?" I asked..

"His father and mother died after he left high school..He was living with his grandmother ,who died earlier this year....He has no siblings...and no other family that we could locate." said Hop..

"So this guy has just fallen completely off the grid huh? Who is he?" I asked..

"I'll tell you who he is...His name is Thaddeus Barber...and I can tell you all about him..more than is in those files.." came the unmistakable voice of the boss lady!! Lt.Sissy Van Buren..

"What are you doing here Siss? We thought you took the day off." said Sharon..

"Well, I kind of did...But I felt guilty...You guys out here working so hard to catch this killer and me off.."said Sissy.

"Boss lady..you're about to get married...We understood..We got this.." said Carlotta..

Sissy smiled...and hugged Carlotta...

"You know..When these killings began..I had hoped that this guy wasn't involved...I remember him from seven years ago..I always wondered what became of him...Order some coffee guys...I've got a long story to tell you." she said.
