A nice overcast fall morning in the city....I stood on the roof of the Criminal Investigation Division of the Philadelphia Police Department with my good friend ,Lt. Sissy Van Buren...I can't tell you how many times the two of us stood on this roof over the years going over a big case...Long before she headed a unit of crack detectives who were taking down high level players...Sissy seemed serene and at peace this morning..I passed her a tumbler of hot coffee..
"Yeah...Unless you get a new case in the next two weeks...Which knowing you, you very well could...The next time you see me...I'll be Mrs. Sissy Clarke...I'll Still be Lieutenant Van Buren for a little while for work purposes.."she said and smiled..
"I must say...you sure held the guys off for a long while." I said laughing...Thinking about Rollie Rollerson, Captain Ed Cantrell and others who courted Sissy...
"I was waiting for the right one...."she said as she took a sip....We stared into each others eyes for what seemed like an eternity and finally she broke the monotony...
"We got a lead on our killer...The one who killed Clean Mckindles..." she said.
"Oh?" I said.
"Yes...Carlotta and Tyriq caught a picture on the traffic cam of the car leaving the scene and a partial of the drivers face..
Sharon ran it through facial recognition and we got a hit...
This guy is Lee Cole....Former Special Forces...Now a gun man for hire..Said to be very ,very good.. Hazel also picked up DNA and a latent fingerprint from the scene and she identified the weapon used...
We got a bolo out on him right now.."she said.
"I'm impressed Sissy...You got good detectives working for you..."I said...
"My client works for Lock 15 or he did work for them...He discovered that the head of Product Development lied about something very,very important and sensitive..He has a zip drive hidden in a safe deposit box somewhere...This is what this mysterious person wants..This is why he hired Clean and Jeff Taylor...When they failed....He has now hired this guy Lee Cole..He wants this Zip Drive..."I said.
"So get the zip drive." said Sissy..
"And there is the problem....My client has amnesia...Partial amnesia..He can't remember where the safe deposit box is..."I said.
Sissy laughed...
"You never get the easy ones do you?" she said.
"Nah....Never do Siss..." I said.
"What are you going to do?" she asked..
"My client and his ex-wife are currently at my house...This guy and his killer don't know about me and my involvement.."I said.
"Don't be too sure about that....This Lee Cole is no joke...If he hired him...He expects immediate results...I'll Have Duke put a special detail on your house.." said Sissy..
"That's a good idea...Meanwhile...I'm going to track down this key and deposit box.."I said.
Sissy smiled at me...
"Come here friend.." she said..
"Good Luck Sissy..." I said, easing out of her warm embrace...She smiled...
"That goes for you too friend." she said and kissed me on the cheek. Eddie C. was indeed a very fortunate man..
II-
John and Bernadette seemed much more cozy than they had a right to be....Considering they were divorced and hadn't been together for at least a year...While I had been out..I interviewed a few of their mutual family members and friends who had confirmed that for me...
I knew that they had had sex the night before...I had gotten up late at night to look in on the baby and to go to the bathroom and had heard the bed squeaking up a storm...
He might not have remembered her , but he certainly remembered what to do with a pretty woman like her and she certainly missed him....
I smiled...
"We have to find that safe deposit box folks....Now this key belongs to a bank...What bank did you two use?" I asked..
"Man Kev,I'm sorry...I can't remember a thing.." he said.
"We used Wells Fargo for our personal banking when we were married...but he had a private account with Greater Philadelphia Savings ." said Bernadette...
"Okay...You got your wallet and your ID...Why don't both of you come with me...We'll get the contents of that safe deposit box....The quicker we do and turn it over to the authorities...The quicker we'll resolve this thing." I said.
"Okay..."said John...
"I'll go with you." said Bernadette..
She was right...The safe deposit key was a match!!!
There was a blond haired man with sun glasses on and a black leather jacket who entered the bank as soon as we did...
This couldn't be good...I had been careful to make sure I hadn't been followed and I saw no one outside of my house...
He didn't waste anytime...He stuck the gun in Bernadette's ribs....
"Don't do anything heroically stupid Kevin...." he said.
John and I both turned around.....
"Yes, I know your name and I know where you live....Pretty smart going to the cops and having them put a protective detail on your house...But I knew it wouldn't be long before you came out...." he said.
"You're Lee Cole."I said.
He seemed surprised...
"As one professional to another...I am impressed....You know my name..."he said.
"I know a lot..."I said.
"It's never good to know too much...Now go to that safe and get the contents..."he said icily...
I couldn't do anything..or he'd kill Bernadette and all of us..
John produced his ID and the key and he went to the Safe Deposit Box....
"It's just an envelope.." he said..
"Open it.." demanded Lee Cole..
It was a letter...It had a combonation on it and the location of a safe...
"Nice...and smart of you not to have the information here in case somebody got the key.....Let's go....Give me your keys P.I. We'll take your car.." he said.
"Look...You got what you want...Let these people go...Especially the lady..She's not a part of this." I said.
"She is now...Now move it ..All of you." he said.
He took my .38 smokeless...but I had a back up peice strapped to my ankle...He hadn't taken that ,thank goodness.
III-
The four of us drove to an old abandoned building in South Philadelphia....
I looked at John....
"I'm sure you don't remember why you hid the zip drive here do you?" I said...
"Nah man...I don't remember a damn thing..." he said...
Lee Cole Looked at the directions and walked us inside at gunpoint...He took plastic ties and tied me, Bernadette and John up....
Then he looked at the safe....
"I'll go in the safe....Don't go anywhere guys" he said mockingly...
He looked at the safe...
"Wow...I could beat this safe without the combonation...buttt since I got it..." he laughed...
I looked at this safe...Something about it seemed familiar...It reminded me of the one I had in my house ..the one that was booby trapped...
Lee Cole gleefully spun the tumbler around and used the combonation...The safe opened instantly....but inside was a note--
"What? another Note?" he snarled..
"YOU ARE IN FOR A BIG BANG!" it read...
''What is this..a joke?" asked Lee Cole, now obviously frustrated and angry!
I saw a red light blinking...
"Get down...It's a trap." I said and knocked John and Bernadette down...
The explosion ripped Lee Cole's head off of his body....his arms and legs as well...
When the smoke cleared...
Bernadette,John and I all got to our feet...The heat had melted our plastic constraints..
Our clothing was smoky and a little torn...
"You guys okay?" I said.
I smiled..
"Yeah ,how about that?" I said.
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...my head...arghhhhhhhhhh!" came the moan from John who was slowly getting up...
"Johnny...are you alright?" said Bernadette...
"Bernie..what are you doing here? What are we doing here?/Whoa....What happened to him?" he said looking at the scattered remains of hitman, Lee Cole..
"You called me Bernie....Johnny...do you remember me?" asked Bernadette...
"Of course....We were married for seven years....Why wouldn't I remember you?" he said.
"Then your memory is back?" I said.
"Why was it lost?" he asked incredulously...
"Yeah...You hired me to protect you from him and others....They were trying to get your zip drive....A Zip drive with damaging evidence on it." I said.
He looked at me...
"Oh yeah, yeah...You're the guy on the card..The card Bernie gave me....I was going to find you when two goons grabbed me...They wanted my safe deposit box key...They roughed me up pretty bad...That's the last thing I remember..." he said.
"Well One of those goons is in jail...the other one is dead, as is this one here." I said.
He smiled...
"Wow...you do your job well." he said laughing...He hugged his ex-wife and kissed her on the cheek..
"You saved my neck again Bernie...."he said.
"You always were the smartest of us...You were the best thing that ever happened to me....I was a fool to cheat on you, to lie to you...to just screw up with you period babes...and if I could have another chance....If you'd be so gracious...I'd be a better husband than I was." he said.
"Wow! Where is this coming from?" she said.
"My life is still in danger...You put me in contact with this guy...and from the looks of things...I'm still alive...Without his help I'd be dead right now.." he said. "This was you, all you..." he said and hugged her...
"Unless you tell me where that zip drive really is...This man, Dr. Richard Bain will just send somebody else..Somebody worse....We have the advantage right now,because he doesn't know this guy is dead...And I don't think he knows about me." I said.
"The Zip Drive is taped to the top of the glove compartment in Bernadette's car." he said.
"My CAR??" she said...
"I knew they wouldn't look there..We were divorced...They'd be looking for it in a safe deposit box.." he said.
"So you set all this up as a ruse to keep them off the trail..." I said laughing and shaking my head.
"To stall em until I could think of a back up plan."said John...
"He's a genius..aint he?" said Bernadette with fake sarcasm...
IV-
Within the next hour...The abandoned house was flooded with crime scene photographers and people from the medical examiner's office...
Lt. Sissy Van Buren and several policemen stood outside...
"I learned my lesson Sissy...This wasn't me..."I laughed...
Detective Sirena Pile, Tyriq's wife walked outside with a plastic bag that contained a pistol and a silencer...
Detectives Tony Hopkins and Edwin "Duke Baylor walked out...
"What a mess...This is definitely the shooter in Carlotta,Tyriq and Jimmy's case." he said.
His wife, Forensic Specialist ,Dr. Hazel Hunter walked out next...
"Do try to stay out of trouble until after my wedding...I want you there." she said laughing...
"I will...You do the same." I said..
We both laughed and watched as the mangled body of Lee Cole was released..
V-
Dr. Richard Bain looked out his window...He saw Sharon and several FBI agents heading inside the office of Lock 15...He knew by now that the gig was up...That somehow, John had gotten the contents of that zip drive to them and that they were coming for him...
He had began losing hope, when repeated calls to Lee Cole, his operative were going to voicemail...
Now he knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that he was done...He took an elevator to the roof....
He looked down into the street and then jumped!!!
He was not going to trial or to jail...For him....The rat race was over...
"God..I hate it when they take their own lives rather than face the music..."she said.
"How much time would he have gotten?" I asked...
"With a good lawyer, ten years in club fed tops..."she said.
"He was 62 years old...Guess he didn't think he could do the time."I said.
"Yeah...Sissy told me about your case...Now that that guy got his memory back, will
he be able to pay you?" she asked...
"Oh yeah...In fact he already paid me....Quite handsomely too.." I said.
"Guess he's relieved huh?" she said.
"Oh yeah..Nobody else chasing him, his memory back and apparently his ex-wife back too."I said.
"Really?" she said.
"Yeah...Bernadette told Sepia that they were going to try and make a go of it again." I said.
"Wow...True Love huh?
"Yeah,with a bang! I said and we both laughed....
EPILOUGE:
And in a hotel in downtown Philadelphia...John Kilroy Jr. and his ex-wife, Bernadette were making up for lost time... a year of it...
John Kilroy Jr. was smiling salaciously as the beautiful brown and nude body of Bernadette KIlroy walked past him as he sat on the bed nude himself, sipping a glass of wine...
"Lawd today woman, you still got a fine brown frame..." he said, grinning and staring at her salaciously...
She looked at him and smiled....
"And you certainly are still packing yourself..."she said staring at his raging erection..."Oh My goodness...Look at that thing.." she marveled...
She knelt down and began to gently fondle his engorged penis....His head fell back and he moaned....
"Awwwwwww sweet baby...Yesssssssssssssssss..."
"You remember that?" she said, smiling up at him...
"Yessssssssssssssssssssss..how could I forget?" he said...
She took all of him in her mouth and began to move her head back and forth...He leaned backward and moaned silently...
"Yesssssssssssssssssssssss..." he moaned..."
After about an hour of this ,he could take no more...
"Awwwwww, Awwwwwww lawd."he moaned...
"Mmmmmmmmm, you remembered" she said...
Ouuuuuu..Come here Bernie." He said and pulled her to him and kissed her passionately... Bernadette was surprisingly was full of passion...It was as if she had wanted to unleash all of her love on him for so long..
"It's been a long time since we did this..." ouuuuuu."she said shyly......between passionate kisses....knowing he had forgotten their previous night of passion at my house...
He softly parted her legs and entered her as slow as he could....She moaned softly as the massive bed began to squeak and slam against the wall...
''Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...""Ohhh baby, give it to meeeeee....ummmmmmph...Ouuuuuuuuuuu..I needed this...I needed this...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh lawddddd ,just put it in me...ohhhhhhhhh"she moaned.
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....Baby...... baby......ouuuuuuuuuu, more, more... ohhhhhh..."he moaned as he moved in and out of her... He had always admired her fine brown frame....
"Ouuuuu John...Johnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnny..ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" she moaned..
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh gooooddddddd lawdd it's soooo goood...ohhhhhhh..ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sweeeeet baby yessssssssssssssss."he cried ...out!!"Morrre...Morreee....morrre...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.."
OHHHHHHH. Work me..Work me..Work me darling! WORK ME LIKE A DAMN JOB!!! YESSSSSS, OUUUU YESSS!"she wailed...
They made sweet yet intense love for five or six hours...with no sign of stopping...The bed squeaked something crazy....the headboard slammed violently against the wall..The legs of the bed creaked...
Bernadette began to climax and shake violently ...Tears began to run down her face like a river and she continued kissing Johnnie passionately until he collapsed on top of her coming violently himself and pumping his fists in the air...and spreading his arms like an airplane...His toes curling.....
"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..." she squealed as she climaxed over and over again.....Slapping him in the face....She felt so good!
She cuddled up into his arms and nestled her head on his shoulders and drifted off to sleep..She hadn't felt this good in ages...She actually went to sleep with a smile on her face...She was actually still shaking and climaxing a bit.
"Ohhhhh,ouuu." she moaned in her sleep....."sweet...sweet man...I'm still coming...ohhhhhhhh what have you done to me???Ohhhhhhhhhhh my goodness...Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuu.."she murmured before drifting off!
And while they were sleeping in a hotel..Sepia and I were on our couch...just getting started...Kissing passionately...while our baby slept a few feet away...A nice ending to a very baffling case...

Good Story overall...With Kevin,I expect a certain level of violence and mayhem...You didn't disapoint..
Nice wrap up! Great story overall!
Really enjoyed this story Keith!
Wow! Blew the guy's head and arms off...That was some explosion...
Wow That makes three booby trapped safes...Two were filled with explosives that ripped off limbs and the one in a story you wrote last year threw a knife into a guy's chest...Makes me want to stay away from safes..
Incredible story...Amazing the fixes you get Kevin into..
I always like your Kevin stories...This one was no exception!
I can see why guys are drawn to your stories..Violence and sex...but what amazes me is the female followers you have!
Including yourself Right?
Great story!
