To The Moon

"Wake uppppppppppppppppppp...Wake Up sleepy head.." came the very melodic voice of my new partner...Detective Monica Talbert...She had on a very revealing night shirt that more than showed her big beautiful breasts and she had that beautiful smile....I was astounded....

Last time I'd seen her, she'd fallen asleep and I had taken her and layed her across her bed and then retired to the living room...She must have gotten up and gotten dressed for bed...

Had I been asleep that long?

"Yes Nate, you have been..It's time to get up and get dressed..."she said..."And can you please stop looking at my boobs?...It kind of makes me uncomfortable.."she said with a bit of tongue in cheek.

"Know What.?.I think you like teasing me.."I said.

"Yeah...I kind of do." she laughed....

I got up...I went in my bag and got a change of clothes and toiletries and headed for the shower...I looked back at her and said-

"You know...you could always join me...It would uh save time.."I said.

"You couldn't handle it if I did." she joked...

"Never know until you try."I said.

"In your dreams.." she said...

"How can I be sure this isn't a dream?" I said.

"Because I'm not nude, we aren't making love and I have already showered..The type of things you dream about..." she said..

I pulled her to me....Her body was so soft, so round....I didn't want to let her go...I know she could read  my thoughts...Despite her reluctance...she blushed like crazy...
I just smiled at her..

"So maybe one day I won't have to dream?" I said and smiled..She was kind of shocked, ...Her body was soo soft,so round...She looked uneasy....

"I don't know..Anything...uh...Anything is possible..."she said and eased out of our embrace.

I smiled..."Well at least you didn't say no."

"I didn't say yes either." she said.

I shook my head and headed into the shower...I shaved ,brushed my teeth and dressed...When I came out into the living room ,She was already dressed...

"Okay..let's go...we can grab something to eat on the way." she said.

"Wow! You...You look good!" I said.

She smiled..

"You know Nate, I like having you around...Despite your shameless flirting...and your triple X rated thoughts,You are good for a girl's ego..." she said.

"Out of my head Monica."I said.

"Ohhh okay!" she laughed as we boarded my flying car and headed for Skyport.

II-

For the past 15 years , people have been able to fly to the moon for vacations...Thanks to a bunch of venture capitalists crazy enough to invest in and buy a rocket and a space shuttle....Which resulted in a multi-million dollar business...There were now Skyports in the largest cities around the world that offered commercial flights  to the moon.
People vacationed in Luna City every year and took in the plush hotels, casinos, shopping and other tourist attractions...Plus the extra bonus of being in the famous domed city on the moon.

Several companies sent men to the moon ,who carved out a huge cavern, built a city in it and capped it with a huge dome in which life affirming oxegan was pumped in...This city had buildings, shops, stores, hotels....the works....That was 25 years ago...

People who can afford it, go to Luna City all the time...

We called the Luna City police department and they said they'd have a represenative waiting for us when we arrived in six hours.

Each Moon Shuttle Bus carried about 30 people....They left every eight hours....This was my first time flying in Space...I was like a little kid on Christmas...I turned and Detective Talbert was smiling at me...

"You know you are cute....You have that boyish charm that a lot of women find attractive and refreshing.." she said matter of factly...

"Soooo, Do you find me attractive and refreshing?" I asked smiling snidely.

"I'll never tell...."she remarked and laughed to herself..

''So uhhh, does that mean that you're uh warming to me at least?" I said with tongue in cheek.

"I've always been warm to you..I-I-I mean..I'm not hostile to you.....I-I-I mean." she said..

''Awwww..I wish I could read your mind right now." I said laughing..

"You know what?  If I gave you some, you wouldn't be able to handle it...You'd fall in love and I wouldn't be able to get rid of you." she said.

"So you're thinking about it eh?" I said laughing...

"I didn't say that." she said.

"Yeah, you kinda did." I remarked..

She got quiet.....

"Uh About the case....What do you know about this guy...Rod Quickman?" she asked...

"He's 47 years old...A Harvard trained lawyer as is his friend Jaybird and that short chubby little guy we interviewed yesterday...He's married, has two children, just like Jaybird and is a multi-millionaire, just like Jaybird...

Neither of them have a sheet (criminal record) ,both are well known on the party circuit..Not surprised he has a suite here in Luna City in the Sheraton." I said.

"Good work...I'm glad to see that you are indeed a good investigator....and not just a player .....Did you get the M.E.'s report back?" she asked..

I pulled out my Smartphone and cued up the report.....

"Our victim was killed by manual strangulation....the killer had large hands..and is about six feet tall...Due to body temperature...She was killed shortly after midnight...and had been dead about nine hours by the time you guys found the body."said the coroner in a videotaped message that had been sent to my phone.

"Excellent...I'm still waiting to hear back from the people I have triangulating the ATM cameras, The neighborhood watch cameras and the traffic cams to see who was in and out of that loft..." she said...

 "So!  About me and you..?" I said ,smiling slyly...

"There is no me and you...I told you we have to be professional if we are going to work together." she said.

 "Okay...but is me being your partner that important to you?   I'm flattered..I really am." I said.

''Do you hit on all of your partners?" she asked.

"No...Never have...Of course I've never had any who looked as fine as you...When I've  had partners..they were male...but I've mostly worked by myself. How bout you?"I asked..

"Two of my partners were women...One was a sister..I confided in her ,just like you ..my special ability....She asked for a new partner the next day....And my second partner was a white female...She was a lesbian and she was in love with me...I ASKED for a NEW PARTNER!  ..so my next partner was a male.." she said.

"What about your  male partners?" I asked..

"One was married , and aside from him checking me out from time to time like you do...He was pretty cool....He wasn't trying to hit on me..but once he found out I was a telepathic mutant...He asked for a transfer out of Homicide...and who does that?I was kind of hurt.  My fourth partner had a girlfriend..Who he was crazy about..He didn't notice me at all...but he discovered I was a telepathic mutant and he too bailed...And plus...She didn't like or trust me around him..I was without a partner for close to a year until you came along.. I had a brief affair with an FBI agent I worked a case with....but he had a fiance he didn't bother to mention.. and I had an off again on again fling with the Robbery Detective...He's a player.."she said.

She smiled...and continued... "Now there is you,possibly the smartest detective I have ever met, who I desperately want to work with." she said.

''Wow...and the way I'm carrying on..I'm about to make YOU ask for a new partner...I'm sorry..."I said... I sincerely was filled with a bit of shame..

She took my hand in hers and rubbed it softly...I was completely taken aback by that...I knew she was reading my mind...because she smiled..

"It's okay....We are gonna be fine...Me and You....I won't quit on you and you don't quit on me..okay?" she said.

"Deal...and for what it's worth...I think you're a pretty smart detective too..."I said and smiled.

"Awww, thank youuuuuuu." she said.

I stared in her soulful eyes...She stared in mine....We were getting ready to kiss...when
all of a sudden we heard the booming voice of the intercom-

"SEAT BELTS ON..WE ARE PREPARING TO LAND IN LUNA CITY!!  WELCOME TO THE MOON!"

We put on our seat belts and we prepared for landing! She was still holding my hand, rubbing it slowly...

III-

We entered the Moon's air space....I marveled at the caverns and the still unmined land and area..

I could see where construction had begun on other cities.....I was speechless...Monica Talbert just looked at me and shook her head in wonderment...I noticed that she still held on to my hand and rubbed it softly...I said nothing... I marveled at how soft her skin was, how flawless it was...how good she always smelled...how pretty her smile was....

I noticed that she was not only smiling but blushing...Shame I couldn't read her thoughts,like I knew she was reading mines.

We got out at the Luna City skyport....The city was gorgeous...A Luna City Detective was waiting for us... He looked Black...But he had slick ,jet black hair like a Puerto Rican...

"Hello...I'm Detective Carlos Wallace..."he said...

"We are Detectives Monica Talbert and Nate Nellis...from Philadelphia." said Monica.

"I'm from Philly too..." he said.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"Yeah...My mom was a Homicide Detective...She's retired now... My Pop..He used to be an Assistant District Attorney there...He's retired too...They live in Puerto Rico half the year now with my two sisters...I kind of was born into this.."he laughed...

"Yeah..I can see..." I laughed...

"Well..As you requested Detective Talbert..We've had eyes on that Sheraton Suite...Your suspect and some woman went in a few hours ago and they haven't come out." he said.

"Well..let's get going." said Monica.

We were off.
IV-

We got on the subway train from the Skyport and entered into Luna City....The Sheraton loomed as the biggest and brightest jewel in the city's downtown area.

I used my cyborg eye to pinpoint the very room Rod Q. was in...Lucky for me they had left the shades up...

Detective Wallace was impressed...

"Ex-Special Forces huh?" he said.

"Yeah..How did you know?" I asked..

"One of my boys is ex-special forces...He has a surgically repaired ear..He can hear for miles..The slightest whisper..." he said.

"Yeah they hooked some of us up." I said.

"Sure did..." he said..We shared a laugh....

What I saw though was a little off putting..

Rod had a sexy young woman in his room in the bed...

"They don't call me "Hot Rod" for nothin baby....Heh-Heh-heh" he laughed...

"Ouuuu, I seee.." she said smiling...

He watched as she took off her dress...slipped out of her pantyhose ,daintily removed her bra and walked over to his bed...

He rolled over and began kissing her...She fondled his stiff erection and smiled...

"Myyy word Rod..." she said...

"Ohhhhh...Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.." he moaned...

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..."YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! SWEET BABY YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!"

After a few minutes of this ,he could take no more...

He stared into her eyes and mounted her.... moving slow...slower than she could take...

"Ohhhhhhh Rod..Rod...ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.. put it in...harder, faster...please...." she moaned...


"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Baby....Baby...Yessssssssssssssssss.." he moaned...

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  Rodman, give it to meeeeee....ummmmmmph...Ouuuuuuuuuuu..I needed this...I needed this...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ,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...

"Really enjoying the view huh?" said Monica...

"They're making love..."I said dryly...

"I know they are...I read your mind." she said.

Detective Wallace did a double take...

"You're a mutant aren't you? A Telepath..."he said.

"You really are a good detective...Yes I am..Do you have a problem with that?" she asked.

"Me??..Nah...I just never met one...I've heard you guys are scattered amongst the population....Are you out?" he asked..

"Uhh not really....I don't hide it, but I don't volunteer the information..." she said.

"Cool...I can dig it! When I first saw you two..I uh kinda thought you guys had a thing goin...but I guess you wouldn't do that...You being able to read his every thought." he said.

"Uh let's get this interview over.." she said as we headed towards the door of his suite...

"Man,I hate to interrupt someone at a time like this." I said.

Detective Wallace laughed...

''Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...""Ohhh  Rod, give it to meeeeee....ummmmmmph...Ouuuuuuuuuuu..... ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ,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...

"I'm about to blow my damn load...ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.."

"Ouuu,I'm cumming tooo.,...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.."

"I'm going to knock on the door now...Is that okay with you two?" she asked sarcastically...

"Sure " I said ,looking at Detective Wallace...We both laughed...Monica shook her head...

"Men!" she said and knocked on the door.

"WHO THE HELL IS IT?" came an angry male voice..

"POLICE!" I yelled..

"POLICE?  WHAT DO YOU WANT?" he yelled..

"WHAT YOU DON'T WANT IS US KNOCKING DOWN THIS DOOR!" I said.

Monica looked impressed....If I didn't know better she looked kind of turned on at the way I was handling this...

"OKAY...GIVE ME A SECOND!" he said.

"There's a lady with us..so come to the door decent."I said.

Monica not only blushed...but she had a warm look of surprise on her face..

Rodman came to the door in his boxers and a bathrobe..Upon seeing Monica, he covered up....I noticed that he had his bedroom door closed...

"I'm Detective Monica Talbert and this is my partner, Detective Nate Nellis ..We are with Philadelphia Homicide and this is Detective Carlos Wallace...Is there somewhere we can talk?" she asked him..

"What's this about? Homicide you say?  Who is dead??" he asked...

We showed him a photo of murder victim,Kora Shelton.....He was genuinely shocked..

"Kora? She's ,she's dead???....I-I was just with her a few nights ago."..He whispered..."

"So you weren't with her on the night in question?" asked Monica..

"I was supposed to be....I sent her a text at the last minute telling her I couldn't make it...I had to take my wife and kids shopping."he said sheepishly....

I had checked her phone....I had seen the text he sent her....He was telling the truth..

"Anybody else have access to your loft besides you and Jaybird?" I asked.

"No...I guess you know about our arrangement huh?" he said sheepishly....

"Yes..We do...We are homicide...Murder police...We aren't here to judge..."I said.

"Look neither Jaybird or I did this...I wasn't there that night...and I don't think Jaybird was either..."he said.

"Oh we know he wasn't...So how did she get in?" asked Monica..

"We gave her an access card...She was the only one other than us that had one..Both Jay and I were seeing her...She was our favorite...We wouldn't have harmed her...I swear..." he said.

Monica looked at him...She got on her smartwatch ..She did a quick check of his financials..His credit card put him halfway across town at the time of the murder in a bar....Plus she had read his thoughts....

She whispered to me..

"He's telling the truth...Plus his alibi checks out.." she said.

"Do you know of any male that would have access to your loft other than Jaybird?" she asked..

"No..Noo.. ONly he and I knew about it..And we only had chicks up in that loft..No other guys..." he said.

"That's not true...Your boy Larry Latimer knew about it." said Monica.

''Well yeah, he did..He would text the girls for us and set up uh er meetings...but he's never set foot in our loft to my knowledge.. and he doesn't have an access card...He doesn't roll with us like that!" he said.

Again Monica read his thoughts and confirmed he was telling the truth.

"Okay..thank you for your time.."said Monica..

"Uh..Look..this woman here with me is not my wife and she's uh married to a very powerful man..I'd be pleased if you kept this visit in the strictest of confidence."he said smiling sheepishly...

Detective Wallace and I smiled sheepishly..

"But of course." we both said.

Monica looked at the three of us with disgust..

"Men.."She said.

Just then we heard a voice from the bedroom...

"Rod....Rod?  I'm like super naked....I need youuu." she cooed...

He smiled sheepishly at Detectives Wallace and I and we smiled sheepishly...

'Uhhh, as you guys see uh..I-Uh gotta go." he said.

''Handle your business man." said Detective Wallace.

Monica just shook her head in disgust...Then she laughed.

"Uhhh, we'll be leaving." I said.

The three of us left....

We thanked Detective Wallace for his help and we headed back to Skyport..

"Nice workin with you guys...Next time I'm in Philly...I'll look you guys up." he said.

"Yeah man...do that." I said.

"Thanks Detective Wallace." said Monica.

"Well, what are we going to do now? He's not our man and we have two hours before the next Shuttle?" I asked.

Monica leaned over and kissed me....Her lips were so soft...I gently pulled her to me, her body was so soft...

We kissed for a little over two minutes...

"Wow...What was that for?" I said.

"You're a very nice guy....that's all..And you think nice thoughts about me..Sometimes!"she said.

We kissed again..a little more passionately and a little longer...

"You have soft lips.."she said.

"So do you." I said.

We finally stopped kissing and she looked at me...

"You have the sweetest thoughts when you're kissing me...I can't believe you feel that way about me and you hardly know me." she said.

"You seem very nice...Very lonely..." I said.

"You're very intuitive...That makes you a good detective...I don't have a lot of friends..." she said.

"Well you do now..I'll be your friend." I said.

"We are partners...We can't get too carried away along this line..We have to keep it totally professional at work...Do you understand?  If you can't handle that..This ends..and so do we as partners....Got it?" she said..

"Totally..."I said...

I pulled her to me and kissed her again...

"And you were wrong...I can so handle this."I said.

"So you say..."she said smiling..and kissing me a little more in a passionate embrace.

"Am I gaining in the running to be Mister Talbert?" I joked.

"You're in first place" she said in between kisses..Then she stopped herself.."Just kidding..don't take that serious."she said...She was surprised that she had said that...

"Of course not ."I said and laughed..Future Mrs. Nellis I thought to myself...Knowing that she heard that thought.

V-

We had a very quiet lunch that felt like dinner...It was constantly like night on the moon for obvious reasons and then we walked hand and hand back to the Shuttle and headed home...

Monica held my hand the entire ride back and fell asleep on my shoulder....

I kissed her forehead...

She woke up briefly and leaned over and kissed me in the lips again and then went back to sleep...Her head resting across my chest...I put my arms around her and held her...She didn't move them...

I had always heard that the moon was a romantic place...

(TO BE CONTINUED IN TWO DAYS!)
