Haven't Got Time For The Pain

The Office Suite was beautiful... Carlotta thought so...As she ,Detective James Barlow and seven uniformed police officers walked into the office of Dr. Ira T. Goldman..A well known and politically connected Assistant Director of Vista Pharmecuticals...

He was in the middle of a board meeting ,when my wife, Detective Carlotta Rodriguez and Detective James "Jimmy"Barlow and the six uniformed police officers walked in...

"Mr. Goldman..We would like for you to come with us..." she asked with a sweet smile...Practically all of the men at the meeting looked at Carlotta and smiled..

"You are out of your mind....Can't you see I'm in the middle of a meeting? What is this about?" he said.

"It's about Fraud..Insurance fraud...If I was you sir..I'd rather discuss this downtown or in private." she said.

"If you don't have a warrant...I'd advise you to leave now...I know the Mayor and a lot of important people Detective ...What did you say your name was?" he asked..

"I didn't...It's Detective Carlotta Rodriguez-Wallace and this is my partner, Detective James Barlow.." she said, still smiling sweetly...

He ignored Carlotta and looked at Jimmy...

"Now look here young fella...You look like the sensible one in this group...I can adversely effect you and your partners futures....Now look..Get out of here.. One call from me to your Commissioner or worse the mayor and you and your partner will be walking a beat again....fetching coffee for real detectives..."he said and turned away from them...

"Guys...Go through all of his files....Box em up.....You two stay with me."said Jimmy.

Now Ira Goldman was livid...

"You are just as stupid as your partner I see..I'm calling the mayor, right NOW!" he screamed...

Carlotta put her hand on his shoulder....

"Stand up..Ira Goldman...You're under arrest for Insurance fraud and soliticitation of murder..." she said and handcuffed him...She read him his rights ...

"DO YOU HAVE A WARRANT??" he screamed...

Carlotta stopped smiling..She produced the warrant...

"The question is...Do you have an attorney?" she said...

"IRA ,WHAT IS GOING ON?" said one council member...

"This is nonsense...I'm being arrested for some nonsense.." he shouted...

"This is outrageous "said another board member as they all gasped..

"Yeah pal..It really is...Okay guys..Take him out to the car." said Jimmy.....As he was read his rights,handcuffed and taken out to the police car.

II-

Ira Goldman sat in the "Fishbowl", the interrogation room .....and complained bitterly while Sissy and I watched from outside..

"He's a piece of work Keith..He told me that when his lawyer is through...He's going to have my badge and Carlotta's and Jimmy's also.." she laughed..

"He told me that I'll be lucky if I can serve warrants for process service....."I laughed...

Jimmy was the first to enter the fishbowl...

He sat down opened up a folder and leafed through some files...

"DON'T JUST SIT THERE...WHAT THE HELL IS THIS ABOUT?? YOU'RE IN BIG TROUBLE BOY!" he bellowed...

Carlotta who is usually very calm and quiet walked in and sat down....She was no longer smiling...

"YOU'RE IN BIG TROUBLE..LITTLE LADY!" he bellowed...

"Let me tell you about the trouble you are in sir....It took us awhile to follow the paper trail of IRA GOLD and trace it to you...but we did...You paid a man named Cedric Mayfield of Seattle nearly one million dollars to kill an informant named Derek Jones and two insurance agents who were investigating you....Karl Mcintosh and his partner Helen Troy....You also paid him to destroy all files they had of their investigation...but we found a zip drive at his house....That had everything on it...Everything...including your alias..which we had already figured out...Maybe if YOU WERE SMARTER ,YOU'D OF COME UP WITH A BETTER ALIAS!"said Carlotta..

"You are quite a guy Mr. Goldman...Quite a guy...You're what they call..Let me see..A Pain management specialist....?? Right?You attempted to bilk insurance companies out of $60 million -- receiving about $12 million yourself -- for narcotic drugs and expensive diagnostic tests you never performed. You fraudulently billed insurers for more than 100 patients a day for years ..We have all of Mcintosh and Troy's files...and we double checked...They were putting the squeeze on you....Did I tell you that Mcintosh was once one of us? A Detective...So I know his investigation was solid."said Jimmy...

"You had spurned your gay lover...A $300.00 a day boy toy named Derek Jones ,who put Mcintosh and Troy on to your little scheme....When you found out that he was your informant and threatening to go public with your secret life together, you had to get rid of him and the two investigators who were putting the squeeze on you...That's when you began a partnership with Dr. Tammie Bradley...Yes..We know about her..

Another person who was being investigated by the two...She knew a guy from her days in Seattle...an ex-serviceman she used to see who took care of "problems"..That's when you two got together and hired Mr. Mayfield...We have records of 200 phone calls between you two before he arrived and after he got here and a record of wire transfers from your faked bank account...and worse..Video footage of you entering the bank to close the account...and a few eyewitnesses..Oh and we found the electronic equipment your P.I. used to rerout calls to the Cyclops Insurance Agency....We found the P.I. too and he told us the whole story about how he set up the equipment and he gave Cedric Mayfield the number to call...He said he didn't know anything about the murders,We'll take him at his word since he identified you as his client."said Carlotta.

"Cat got your tongue Goldman?" asked Jimmy...

Ira Goldman was sweating profusely...

"I want my lawyer.." he said meekly.

''What was that?" asked Jimmy..

"I want my lawyer."he said quietly.

"Ohhh I bet you do...You're in BIG TROUBLE LITTLE MAN!" laughed Carlotta derisively. Ira Goldman put his head in his hands and wept....

III-

Detectives Sirena Pile and Antonio Hopkins appeared at the apartment complex with seven uniformed police officers....

 A bed was squeaking loudly ,slamming against the wall and the moans and sounds of serious lovemaking..

''Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."
"Ohhh baby, give it to meeeeee....ummmmmmph..."

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....Tammy ...Tammy ...ouuuuuuuuuu, more, more... ohhhhhh..."

"Morrre...Morreee....morrre...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. Waverly.ouuuuuu..Waverly....OHHHHHHH."
she wailed...

"Ohhhh Tammy, Tammy ,ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..I'm losin my minddddddddd!! "

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...I love you soooooooooooooo much...ouuuuuuuuuuuu..Waverly!"

Hop looked at Sirena...

"Damn...Why we always gotta catch people at a time like this?" he said...

Sirena gave him a side eye and then knocked on the door...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..I'm coming Waverly..Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh my goodness...I'm coming soooo hard...wooooooo."came a sound...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..umphhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...I'm coming tooo...OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" he screamed..

Sirena knocked on the door...

"WHO THE HELL IS IT?" came a male voice ,who got out of the bed and swung the door open....

He took a look at Sirena and smiled...

"Well Helllooooooo...Can I help you?" he said...He was covered only by a towell...

"We aren't here for you.....Tammy Bradley.....I'm Detective Sirena Pile, Homicide.."she said.

"Homicide??What are you doing here?" she said...By now she was in a white sheer baby doll with matching white lace panties...Hop's eyes nearly fell out of his head...

"Mam..Uh..Ahhhh..Uhhhhh.." mumbled Hop...

Sirena pushed her partner out of the way and stepped inside ....She smiled at him to let him know she was playing and whispered...''Wait outside Partner..She's not dressed..."

"Put some clothes on...I have a warrant for your arrest.." she said.

IV-

Tammy Bradley was a beautiful,shapely and attractive blonde....She sat in the fishbowl as Hop and Sirena walked in...Surprisingly Hop began talking...

"Mam..We know in between last year and this year you paid more than 5,000 healthy people to consent to have surgeries performed on them so you could bill the Cyclops Insurance company more than $96 million.

Two of their investigators, Karl Mcintosh and his partner Helen Troy were investigating you...We found photos and letters you had a private investigator mail to his wife to blackmail him and keep him from investigating you....What you didn't know was that she knew about his relationship and was divorcing him anyway....You remembered your ex-boyfriend...Cedric Mayfield....You went out to Seattle..The two of you spent a weekend in a motel...and like a lovesick puppy he came here to Philly,where your partner...Dr. Goldman paid him nearly one million dollars to kill his secret gay lover and those two pesky investigators who were breathing down your back as well as his and destroy all of the files...He's already told us the whole story..We have faxed receipts from the motel.Seattle P.D. was very helpful" said Hop.

"We found a zip drive in his wife's home that had all of their investigative files on it...We got the book on your operation and Mr. Goldman...and the money trail...We have talked to both P.I.'s They were very helpful...We found the electronic rerouting equipment...We have video footage of you and the P.I. entering the company and finding that office...We know everything...It's over. " said Sirena...

She held her head down...

"I want my damn lawyer...NOW!" she screamed...

"Stand up...Tammy Bradley...You're under arrest for Insurance fraud and soliticitation of murder." said Sirena...

Two officers came in after her rights were read to her and handcuffed her and walked her out....As she walked out, she saw Ira Goldman ,also handcuffed and being walked out by two other officers...Both of them were crying like babies...

Sissy put her arms around Carlotta and Jimmy ,Sirena and Hop....

"Duke and Tyriq would be proud of you guys...As proud of you four as I am.." she said..."My babies..." she said and smiled..

I smiled as Officers handcuffed both Ira Goldman and Tammy Bradley...

"Game set match..."I said.

V-

Meanwhile on the El... The food had arrived...Duke opened his Pizza....There was a note on it for him..

The note read-

"Sit tight Duke...A Doctor is getting on ,next stop...He's one of ours...Don't do anything..Just keep everyone calm..."

Sharrone read it...

She smiled and leaned on Duke's arm....

Meanwhile Tyriq and Sharon had set up near the last El Station...

"Sissy just called me... Top and Jimmy arrested the good doctor and got a confession and my wife and your husband arrested the other insurance cheat ..His partner...The whole thing is over..." said Tyriq..

"Captain Cantrell is getting ready to make a play..It's on him now..If he fails...My guys are moving in....And they won't play...I hope Cantrell's plan works.." she said.

"He's a sly fox... He knows what he's doing." said Tyriq.

The train pulled in at yet another station....Tyriq and Sharon watched They had glocks drawn...They saw Duke...but they weren't allowed on the train....The Killer looked at Tyriq..

"Is my doctor here?" he asked.

"The next station."said Tyriq...
 
"Then get the hell away from the door..both of you." he snapped and the door closed...

 "I'm gonna love taking this guy down."said Rico.

 "Yeah..Me too."said Sharon...

Justice was coming..
