Vegas Lights

In Philadelphia, Millionaire, Alexander King walked into the interrogation room known as "The Fishbowl" with his lawyer and took a seat....Lt. Sissy Van Buren walked in with two uniformed police officers...Each man was given a tumbler of coffee fixed to their specifications...

She then sat across from them....Alexander King, was Sissy's age, Tall,Urbine, Handsome....Dressed immaculately with a fine tailored suit and a powder blue silk shirt and a yellow tie...He was wearing a comfortable pair of white skippers with his suit and a very nice fragrance...

His Lawyer, who was African-American couldn't take his eyes off of Sissy...In fact he looked at her so intensely...She felt almost naked....Every time she opened her mouth..He smiled salaciously...

"First off Mr. King...Let me say that you are not in any trouble...We just want to ask you a few questions about an associate of yours...A Sky Marshall named Clint McCool." said Sissy...

His lawyer wasn't even paying attention to the conversation..He was looking at Sissy's cleavage and smiling...

Alexander King said-

''What about him? He uh moonlights on the side as a courier for me..Since he flies to Vegas from time to time...I pay him to carry a package for me...Very expensive jewelry to my Las Vegas Associates...." he said..

"You paid him just under $10,000.00" said Sissy..

"So he wouldn't have to report it to the IRS...But I'm sure you know that Lieutenant...Did he do something wrong?" asked Alexander King.

"No he didn't...but somebody has killed him!" said Sissy.

"WHAT?  That's impossible..I just saw him about three hours ago when he was getting on the plane!!!! His flight hasn't even landed in Vegas yet..." he said.

"A good friend of mine is on that flight...He has been in communication with me since that happened...Who knew he was carrying that jewelry for you?" asked Sissy...

"Nobody!  We didn't publicize it..It was done quietly...We have a mutual friend...Rollie Rollerson...Clint is going through a nasty divorce and he needed a little extra money and Rollie suggested him to me..So I hired him...Clint has made that run for me a half dozen times...Never with any problem..." said Alexander King...

"I wasn't aware Mr. McCool was married..."said Sissy..

"Yes...In fact..His wife is a stewardess....For the very airline he was on...United..Her name is Elizabeth or Betty...Betty Mousely!" he said.

"Oh My God!!! She's on that flight!" said Sissy..

His lawyer whispered in Sissy's ear..

"Uh Lieutenant...Are you married?" 

Sissy smiled..

"As a matter of fact,I am."she said and showed him her wedding band..

''Damn..Your husband is one lucky man....I was gettin ready to ask you out." he said.

Sissy smiled and shook her head..

II-

Meanwhile on our flight, I waited for Sissy's call.......My wife ,Sepia  said to me...

"We are circling the airport right now waiting for approval to land..We are going to have to sit down soon."

"I know and we are no closer to figuring out who our killer is." I said.

"Kevin...you're getting a text...It's from Sissy..."said Sepia..

I read my text....

Hmmm...Now this was all beginning to make sense to me...

I took Sepia by the hand...and walked over to the Captain...I whispered in her ear..She nodded...She then gathered the entire crew....We walked to the seat the Air Marshall was sitting in...

"Our Air Marshall doubled as a courier for a very wealthy man back in Philadelphia...How many of you knew that?" I asked....

Several of the crew members raised their hands...

"He traveled with a blue strong box from time to time..We secured it for him." said one man who produced it...Thanks to Sissy's text..I had the combonation...I opened it up...

It was empty to everyone's surprise but mine....

"It's contents...worth millions is missing...as well as his gun....None of the passengers knew what he was carrying...Only the air crew....So....with his gun missing too...It's safe for me to say...That one of you....Is the killer!" I said...

And just then....I heard the all too familiar click of a bulldog .38....I knew the sound well...I carried one myself...

We all turned and looked in astonishment as Stewardess Betty Mousely aimed the gun at us...

I smiled...

"Betty Mousely....Your maiden name...Formerly, Elizabeth McCool...Mrs. Elizabeth McCool..."I said.

"You're a very good investigator Kevin...Even better than I thought....I was hoping you wouldn't put two and two together..I was hoping we could all land and go our seperate ways..." she said.

"Betty....What are you going to do? Shoot that gun and doom the entire flight?...We are almost getting ready to land...Where do you think you'll go?? It's over...Give me that gun...You don't want to do this."I said.

She broke down into tears....

"No...I don't....15 years....15 years of my life I gave that man....HE had a wandering eye...Always flirting with fellow stewardesses...He was an embarrassment..He was paying me chicken shit in alimony...I watched him get on these flights with his expensive cargo and his bimbos...RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY FACE!!! BASTARD!!!   When I saw him get on this plane with that trollip, Elizabeth Alexander...I-I-I couldn't take it...He had the nerve to speak to me... "Hi Betty....Hi Betty my ass...He went down into the basement to get ready for his little trollip to join him for some hot mile high sex and I followed him down there with an old table leg and whacked the hell out of him!!! He just made me so angry.....I saw his million dollar cargo....and I decided..Why not? He wouldn't need it anymore...I've been flying for 20 years..I could retire with the money from that jewelry... When I saw him get on this plane with that trollip, Elizabeth Alexander...I-I-I couldn't take it.I couldn't take it...I couldn't take it....I would like to say that I didn't mean to do it...but I did..I did..I meant to kill that lying, cheating,dirty dog...ouuuuuuuuuu just talking about him gets me soooo mad I could just whack the hell out of him again....Damn him!!....Damn him!!!..Damn him!" she said in between sobs....

She turned the gun over to the captain and two of the crew put plastic restraints on her wrists and ankles and took her down into the cargo basement of the plane...

Sepia kissed me...

"This must go down as one of the quickest cases you've ever cracked..." she said..

I smiled..

"Yeah...It is.."I said..

"Kevin are you blushing? Do I still make you blush?" asked Sepia...

"Well uh...yeah...I suppose you do at times."I said..

"Awwww that's so cute."said Sepia..

III-

A little while later ,I face timed Sissy...

"Heyyy friend...Did you catch your killer?" she asked..

"I sure did...I couldn't have done it without your help and your detectives Siss.."I said.

"Ohhh sure you could have...I'm just glad We were able to help you."she said smiling..

"I'm glad too." I said..

"Now I need you to do me a favor." said Sissy.

"Anything..you name it."I said.

"Have a great time in Las Vegas with your wife and don't get involved in anything else..."she said with a smile...

"You have my word." I said.

The plane had landed at the Airport...

IV-

"Thank you Mr. Kevin for catching that crazy woman...I always wondered why she was so nasty to me...I had no idea she was Clint's ex-wife...He never said anything."said Elizabeth Alexander as she prepared to leave the plane..

"I have a feeling there was a lot he didn't say." I said.

"Yeah..you're right."she said as she took her bags and walked off...

Mickey Stevens was walking out when I stopped him....

"What? Aww Come on Man.." he said.

"Hand over the wallet..."I said..

He handed me Bennie Gillespie's wallet with his credit cards and debit card and return Airline ticket..

"This goes back to Mr. Gillespie when I return to Philly...This is your lucky day...I'm just going to say that in all the confusion...You slipped away..."I said.

"So I can go?" he said.

"Yup.....You're a resourceful man...I'm sure you can find a way to get back home legally right?" I said.

"Oh yeah,sure...I might get lucky on the crap table." he said..

"See ya around Mickey." I said.

"Gee thanks Kev..you're alright with me." he said.

I laughed as he walked off the plane..

Sepia put her arms around me and we walked off the plane and into the Vegas afternoon..

"Wow Lover...Aren't you glad that that is all over and done with?" asked Sepia...

"I'm glad to be on the ground..."I said..

I looked out at the city...

"We've been through the worst lover...I think we are going to enjoy this trip..."said Sepia..

"I think so too..."I said.

Sepia kissed me again...

"And we can take the train back to Philly...I'm in the mood for a nice scenic and quiet ride.."she said.

I smiled at her and hugged her..

"Me too baby."I said and we grabbed our bags and hailed a taxi!

EPILOUGE-

Betty Mousely was convicted of second degree murder and sentenced to 10- 25 years...She is serving her time in the Nevada State Prison for women...

Needless to say...That first night...Sepia and I didn't make it out of our hotel room...Once she was undressed, it was a wrap for us...We were like two newlyweds....

"OHHHHHHHHHHH Kevin...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.." she moaned as I slipped her clothes off in the middle of our hotel room floor and began to kiss her with long,slow,sloppy kisses...

"You feel so good baby." I said in between kisses...

"So do you." she said in between kisses...My mouth had now made it's way to her breasts..

"Ouuuuuuuuuu....ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.."she moaned....

We eventually wound up in the bed or rather on the bed making love with a wild abandon...This went on a good four to five hours...

 "OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH GODDDDDDDDDDD KEVIN...OUUUUUUUUU" she screamed as I employed the greatest tenderness and took my time..moving in and out of her warm wet center, kissing her eyelids, her cheeks, her neck and eventually her full and soft lips...

"Damn girl!" was all I could get out of my mouth...

A nice way to relax after  such a flight!
