Last Cut


William Abbott sat in a tony new bistro with a very attractive and shapely young woman...The waitress brought their breakfast.. An Omelet with cheese, green peppers,tomatoes,onions and salsa for the woman with bacon and Scrambled Eggs and Sausage for him......Both had a tumbler of champaigne mixed with orange juice and a small cup of coffee...

They ate breakfast and just looked into each others eyes wistfully...

"Oh Dr Abbott..You are such a breath of fresh air....I am so glad I met you at this convention...These other doctors are so stuffy.." she said.

"Welll, you know..." he laughed....

"You know Myra....I usually don't hang around a town too long after these conventions end...but I find you so refreshing..It's like...you get me...You totally get me..." he said.

"Dr. Abbott..you get ME...Half of these guys here will tell me anything I want to hear and just exaggerate ,just so they can get me in bed....You're the first honest guy I've met..I mean..you're not thirsty as the kids say....You've been the perfect gentleman." she said.

''Wellllllll you know...My Mother raised me to be a gentleman..."he said laughing..

After awhile...The waitress came back with the bill....He fumbled around and laughed sheepishly...

"Oh My God.."he said..

"Is there something wrong?" she asked..

"I do believe I've uh misplaced my wallet....I think I left it back in my uh ruh hotel room...I'm so embarrassed."he said..

"Ohhhh don't be...I'll pay for the entire meal...It's my pleasure Dr. Abbott..."she said..

"You are such a dear Myra....So uh...tell me...What does a guy like me really have to say to uh get you in the bed?" he asked..

She looked at him strangely...

"Huh? What?" she said...

"I'd like to eventually go to bed with you." he said.

"Heyyy, what gives? Why do I now feel as though you're just like the others?" she said.

''Because he is just like the others and worse...He's no Doctor...Isn't that right Mr. Abbott?"I said.

He looked shocked....

''Who the hell are you?" he said with fake outrage..

"I'm Detective Nate Nellis and this is my wife...Detective Monica Nellis and our colleague ,Detective Carlos Wallace...and we would like to talk to you downtown..."I said.

"ABOUT WHAT?" he snarled..

''About Murder Mr. Abbott...but you know that....just like you know that the jig is just about up right?" said Monica.

He laughed....

"You've got nothing...and you know that I know you've got nothing." he said.

"We'll see about that."said Detective Wallace..

The woman William Abbott was with looked in horror...

''He's not a doctor?...Worse...He's wanted for murder???...Oh my god!!!!...Every guy I meet at these things has something wrong with them...Oh My Lord!" she said...

"A good man is hard to find "said Monica...

"I'll say..It's like finding a needle in a haystack." she said.

"Girl, you aint never lied. But I got me a good one...I was lucky." said Monica...
I smiled and hugged her.

Three uniformed policemen handcuffed him and read him his rights...He was being booked on suspicion of murder...

II-



Arresting him on Suspicion of Murder charges was good enough to get us a search warrant...We had little to nothing on him except the fact that he was seen in film footage at all of our crime scenes...He could argue that that was an unfortunate co-incidence..

We needed hard and cold evidence.....

Detective Kylie White and four uniformed policemen got the hotel manager to allow them to enter his hotel room....There they found clothing, a pack of cigarettes , a tablet , a smartphone, a smartwatch and little else...

Then she got lucky....She found an address..It was a safe deposit box...several...

Using her search warrant ,she found the safe deposit boxes and she hit the jackpot....

"Detective...come here...look at this..." said one officer...

"Oh My God...Detective!!!" said another officer...

"Geeez Louise!!" said another officer...

What she found were bags and bags of human organs...

 "Call Dr. Talbert, quick!" she said.

Monique arrived unfortunately with Detective Wally Becker...Who of all days had decided to pay her a visit and chew the fat with her..He hadn't brought her flowers or wine...He just stopped by the M.E.'s office to chat... She thought she was getting away from him when she got this call, but he insisted on riding along....

When Monique saw Kylie she gave her a look that told her she was soo sorrry he had come along..

Kylie understood , She knew how Wally Becker could be...She wasn't mad at Monique...

"Monique...We didn't find anything in his apartment...but I found a combonation that led us to here and look what we found?" said Kylie...

Detective Becker and the three uniformed policemen pulled out bag after bag of human organs...

"Whoa...This case you're on just got weirder ...What the hell is this?" he said..

Monique looked at it....

"Don't touch it Detective Becker...you don't have on latex gloves....Oh my god...Get these people away from here...I'll call my staff down here to pick this up...Oh my lord.." she said.


Detective Becker walked over to Kylie...

''Good Pull Detective...Looks like you broke this case wide open...I'm used to Nate and Monica cracking the big ones like this..."he said.

''We are working this together....It's not cracked yet."she said.

''So...uh I called you the other night...several times.." he said.

"Yeah,I saw.." she said.

"Working late huh?" he said..

"Yeah...as a matter of fact I was..This is a tough case." she said.

"You didn't come home.." he said.

''What am I a perp or something?...You keeping tabs on me now Wally?  I'm working a case detective...Don't you have any police work to do?"asked Kylie..

''She was over our house Wally if you must know."said Monique.

''Over your house? Kylie?"he asked.

''Yes...we were working late and we all were a little creeped out and so Kylie stayed with me.."said Monique...

"But you and..."he said.

"Lieutenant Cotton doesn't spend every night with me...He goes home some nights.." said Monique..

"Oh...I didn't realize you two were close." said Wally Becker...

''Well we weren't before..but I know her...My sister and brother in law aren't the only detectives who come to the M.E.'s office. Any other questions Wally?"said Monique,smiling sweetly.

"Uh No..." he said...but he didn't believe her...Yet he didn't know where she was.

By then Monique's staff had arrived and started removing the organs....

"Test them for DNA against all of our victims..." said Monique...."I'll see you around detective." she said...

God she was sexy! Thought Wally Becker....as he watched Monique sashay away...

Kylie walked over to Monique...

"Thank You ...Thank you for covering for me...but you didn't have to...I'm grateful to you." she said.

''We are friends now Kylie...Friends lie for each other.."she said and winked...

Kylie laughed...

"Yes we do..."

Detective Becker sat in his car ,looking perplexed as both Kylie and Monique drove away...

III-

 Hours had gone by ,William Abbott sat smugly in our interrogation room...

"Look at him...So smug....He thinks he's got us beat..."said Lt.Cotton...

"We are going to fool him today...Watch and learn Lieutenant...."I said.

Monica whispered to Kylie...

"Okay girl you got the script down?" asked Monica.

"Got it...You sure this will work...?" asked Kylie..

"Trust me...It'll work..." said Monica..

Detective Wallace and I walked in....

"Mr. Abbott..you haven't demanded a lawyer....I'm surprised." said Detective Wallace...

"I don't need one...You guys have nothing and in a matter of hours ,you have to let me go."he said smugly...

"Is that right?" I said...

"Yes, that's right....Only thing that confuses me is which one of you is good cop and which one of you is bad cop?" he asked..

We both laughed...Then Monica walked in...She said nothing..She just stood in the corner and stared at him..

He looked at her...

Then at me..

"Your wife is too pretty to be bad cop..."he said...Monica remained silent...

Then Kylie walked in and sat down....

He looked her over...

"Ohhhhhh I get it...She's bad cop...."he laughed...

Kylie ignored him..instead she started talking..

"Mr. Abbott..William Abbott...your friends call you Billy right...?  What few friends you had...You were born in Jacksonville,Florida right?" she asked.

"What? Are you writing a book or something?" he asked..

She didn't crack a smile..

"Your father Willard Abbott went away for a 25 year stretch for Manslaughter....right after your younger brother,Wallace was born...Your mother moved and settled in New Haven...That's where she was originally from...You did exceptionally well in school, your whole life...Honor Society in High School, Scholarship to Darmouth..an Ivy League School,Impressive and then Residency at John Hopkins...You unfortunately washed out in the medical program." she said.

''It was run by incompatents....Imbeciles and fools all of them.."he spat.

"You took care of your brother all of his life....He uh didn't seem to do as well as you...Just barely graduated high school, in and out of jail and rehab...Must have been a burden on you huh? Having to take care of him..." she said.

''Look if you want my life story wait til I write the book...If you're going to charge me with something then charge me...If not..Let me go..." he said.

Monica, Carlos and myself continued to silently stare...It was un-nerving him....

"You killed 19 women and your brother and you almost killed a federal agent a few nights ago."she said.

He laughed..

"Prove it!" he said..

"Your mother was 28 years old when she died wasn't she William?" asked Kylie..

"Yeah,Yeah,Yeah....so what?" he said..

"She put you and your brother in foster care...She couldn't take care of you....She got high and left you with boyfriend after boyfriend didn't she?   That and the disapointment you felt when you washed out of the medical program at John Hopkins must have set you off...."she said.

"Really? Is that all you got." he asked..

"She didn't want you...Either one of you...That's why she left you with so many of her boyfriends...You and your brother were just in the way."said Kylie..

"If you say so."he said..now annoyed..

"I do say so...You know it's true." said Kylie..

''Shut up!!..Shut Up BITCH! YOU DON'T KNOW ME! YOU DON'T WANNA KNOW ME!" he said...

It was as if he was going through an eerie transformation..

Monica was scanning his thoughts...She calmly nodded for Kylie to keep pressing..

"All those women were 28-29 years old...Just like your mother....This was about Mommy wasn't it? You killed them because you were killing your mother all that time...You always killed them quick..so that they felt very little pain because as much as you hated your mother and resented your younger brother for being a burden...You loved her too...right?  When did he discover your nasty little hobby and start helping you???...When? or was he always on board?" she asked..

"SHUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT  UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!! I'LL KILL YOU BITCH...I'LL GUT YOU LIKE A FISH....JUST LIKE I DID THE OTHERS..SHUT UPPPPPPPPPP! SHUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT  UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!" he yelled....and stood up...


I walked over to him...Two uniformed policemen restrained him....

"YOU GOT NO PROOF,YOU GOT NOTHIN!!" he screamed...

"Just so you know..We got a search warrant...we found all of your organs...We did DNA matches and matched the organs to all five or our victims here and two in Luna City...Detectives from New York, New Haven,Baltimore and Washington D.C. are coming to Philly to talk to you....We also found your surgical tools...Including the murder weapon in the storm drain , a block from your hotel...It's all over...You're under arrest for five murders and the attempted murder of the FBI Agent...

He was crying profusely now and slamming his fists against the table..."SHUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT  UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!! JUST STOP TALKING ABOUT IT!" he moaned...



Lieutenant Cotton walked in with six officers...

"Hook him up....take him to central booking..This was your last cut ,buddy.Book him..Five counts of murder one!"he said...He looked at Monica, myself,Kylie and Carlos and smiled..

"Great work Detectives...We got him...We got five clearances and I guess that clears your two huh?" he said looking at Carlos.

 ''Yeah ,my Lieutenant will be ecstatic...Plus we spit in the eye of Old Agent Lawlor..." said Carlos.

"Oh yeah....He was released from the hospital today....I informed him that we had our killer in custody...He couldn't believe it...Sometimes we locals do pretty good police work too." he laughed.

"Nice working with you guys..." said Carlos...

''Nice workin with you too again buddy...When do you leave?"I asked.

"I got two more days...I'd like to go to this Underwater city you guys talk about.." he said.

"You mean Octopus Garden right? Ohhh you'll love it Carlos.."said Monica...

"Detective White has three days off thanks to the great job she did...I'm sure she'd love to show you Octopus Garden Detective Wallace and with all of that good overtime money she made...She'll be just fine..."said Lt.Cotton...

''Lieutenant Cotton...You...You know?" said Kylie ,smiling...

"I'm a Detective Kylie...I didn't make Lieutenant because of my good looks, though I could have. Plus,I saw the two of you uh kissing when Detective Wallace got out of your car the other day...And you walking in first.."he said laughing..."Go on...You and Detective Wallace go have a good time.." he said.


Monica and Kylie high fived each other...

"Have a good time girl..."said Monica..

''Oh I plan to...come on Carlos...we have to stop by my house and get some things..."she said..

"Word" he said ..."Monica...Nate...always a pleasure...Don't be strangers." he said.


''We won't..." we both said...

"Oh uh one thing Lieutenant....Boss....How did you see us? Where were you?"asked Kylie White, giving Lt. Cotton the side eye...

Lt. Cotton smiled...

"Uh..That's not important...I was uh around..." he said, smiling sheepishly..

Monique had just entered and she had heard the tail end of the conversation....

"Kylie..He was in his car with me, trying to do something he had no business doing.When we saw the two of you." she said and playfully punched the Lieutenant's arm...He just laughed.

Kylie just laughed...and put her arms around Detective Wallace.....

"Uh Huh...That's what I thought...See you guys in a few...Come on Carlos.." she said as they left...

Monique put her arms around the Lieutenant and kissed him on the cheek playfully...

"Where we goin tonight baby?" she asked...

"Oh dinner at a five star bistro...Some cool jazz at this nice club out by Skyport and then we take it from there." He said..

''Sounds good..Maybe I'll let you do more things you aren't supposed to be doing.""said Monique alluringly..

"Well Mrs. Nellis..I guess that leaves you and me...babes." I said.

''Now that this case is over.. Mister Nellis...AKA Mr. Talbert...I just want to spend a nice quiet night with my hubby."she said and gave me a nice soft kiss...

''Sounds good to me..Let's go home Mrs.Nellis." I said and we walked out the door hand in hand...behind the Lieutenant and Monique.

Just then Detective Wally Becker walked up....

"Hey guys, Got your man eh?" he said.

"Yeah we got him..The city is once again safe." I said.

He saw from a distance..Monique and Lt. Cotton walking arm in arm out to his car...The hairs on his neck bristled...

"She'll learn one day that he's not the man for her.."he grumbled.. He looked around..

"Uh Where is Detective White?" he asked..

"Oh you just missed her...She went to Skyport to drive Detective Wallace to catch his flight back to the moon."said Monica, who was lying...

"Oh,well maybe I can meet her after he takes off for a few drinks..I-I-I mean..it has been a long case...I know everyone is probably good and tired after that long case..."he said.


"You Like Kylie don't you?" asked Monica.

"Nahhh, Nahhh...we are just friends Monica..Just friends..She's cool to hang out with...I mean,she aint seein nobody and I aint gettin no action from your sister at the moment.." he said..

"Uh Huh,I see."said Monica...

"Skyport huh?" he said..

"Uh yeah...Skyport."said Monica smiling,...

Actually ,Kylie and Carlos were headed in the opposite direction to the Seaport to go to Octopus Gardens...The Undersea Hotel complex...


Detective Becker was racing out to Skyport....I wondered how long it would take him to figure out that she wasn't there?  At any rate by the time he did...They'd be out at sea,getting ready to board the Aqua Shuttle...

Monica looked at me and smiled the sexiest smile...

"Okay I lied....but why should we be the only ones having a happy ending?" she said...

She was soo cute! I mused as I just smiled back at her.


EPILOUGE-


William Abbott confessed to 19 murders and received Life Sentences in Conneticutt , New York ,D.C. and Maryland...He received a Death Sentence here in Pennsylvania,plus a 25 year Federal sentence for the attempted murder of Edward Lawlor...who still can't sit down very good...He's in Boston now I hear....

Kylie White and Carlos Wallace spent the next three days in Octopus Garden, the underwater hotel that Monica and I stayed at...

She gave her smart phone to us....She kept a burner phone and gave us another one to communicate with her if we needed to...



 By now Carlos and Kylie were in the middle of the floor nude, kissing passionately ,oblivious to the ocean water outside their window and the aquatic life floating by....

"Ohhh Carlos...ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.." she moaned..

''Ohhh Kylie...Aye Mios dios....this is soooo good.." he moaned..

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmph..."

"ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.."

The bed was squeaking loudly....The headboard was smacking against the wall....They were in the throngs of passionate lovemaking...

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

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....Kylie...Kylie ...ouuuuuuuuuu, more, more... ohhhhhh..."

"Sock it to me Carlos...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...Sock it to me..."

"LAWDDD girl, what are you doing to meeeee?ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Kylieeeeeeee..."


"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh gooooddddddd lawdd it's soooo goood...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh  girl...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sweeeeet jesusssssssssss you are a demon in the bedddddddddd...arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..Aye Mios Dios!!!!"
 
"Morrre...Morreee....morrre...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. Carlos..ouuuuuu..Carlos....OHHHHHHH."
she wailed...

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

"I love the way you say my name with your cute accent...ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..oh my god...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..." 

They probably hadn't slept much....They had been making sweet passionate and intense love for close to four hours...

The bed springs was squeaking loudly....The headboard was smacking against the wall..They were deep beneath the waves of the ocean in the undersea hotel with all the privacy in the world...

While Wally Becker stood outside of Kylie's Apartment complex...on his third cup of coffee, wondering where she was and what was taking her so long to come home...


And meanwhile at our Duplex...



The smartphone kept vibrating.....Monica picked it up and smiled..

"Becker huh?" I said..

"Yeah...He must be going crazy....Kylie not at work...Not at home...And my sister and the lieutenant out on the town...He's called her 57 times in the two day period..I know he's probably been sitting outside or near her house trying to see if she's in there with somebody. For a guy in the special victims unit..he sure has a lot of stalking tendencies..."said Monica,laughing heartedly...


"Yeah....I got out of there and into Homicide in just the nick of time..Did you disable the GPS on the phone?" I asked..."I don't want him driving up here..Thinking she's here.."I said.

"Of course..."she said...

"That's my girl."I laughed and I pulled her to me and hugged her.

"You mean ''That's your wife'" she said.


I kissed her softly....

"Yes Dear.That's exactly what I meant." I said.

She rubbed her index finger across my lips and kissed me softly and tenderly...

"Ummmmmmm,Soooo, how bout we take advantage of this  free time we got together and privacy and play husband and wife....Mister Talbert" she said winking and walking past me..

I watched her as she walked toward the bedroom..She looked at me and smiled..

"You coming?" she asked..

"I hope to be." I said...

She laughed..

"Smarty."

Nothing I'd like better I thought! She didn't have to ask me a third time!

FOR  L.
