Marination

Candace "Hard Candy" Nelson lay across the bed in a black bra and black panties....She was watching television when January Carson returned to the house they were renting....

"Well Jan, how did it go tonight?" she asked , smiling...

"Good night..I dropped three...Me and Stink got that guy "Boom" Thompson, the bomber who put that bomb in my brother's ride...and then we got William Boston, that punk ass bastard...I remember when he was happy to shine my brothers shoes..I remember when he was just a tout ,out on the corner running up to cars pointing them to the drug house....Now he's a big shot..Gino Valentine's number two man huh? He's the guy who got Boom to do my brother...Well...both of em are dead as hell now." he snarled..

''What about Gino? Did you get him?"She asked..

"Nah...almost, but some chick ran out in front of him and I accidentally took her out...I think it was his girlfriend...." said January....

"Oh hell...With both of them dead and his girl...He's going to figure that somebody is coming for him and if somebody is coming for Gino..Chances are Gino will be coming after them..." she said.

"Who's he gonna come after? He didn't see my face..He may blame it on Frankie Everett...He did frame him for a murder he didn't commit, the man just got out of jail." laughed January..

"Frankie doesn't have the balls, the money or the manpower to come after Manny Spain..and they know that." she said.

"They won't come after me...They think I'm in the Netherlands, hiding out.."laughed January...

"You'd better hope so..."she said..

He took off his trousers and his shirt and shoes and laid across the bed..

"Aren't you hot in here?" he asked..

"No...the AC is working good.."she said..

'Seems like you got on too many clothes.." he said.

"I'm in my panties and bra."she exclaimed..

"That's too much clothing."he laughed...

She laughed sheepishly...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....."she said..

It wasn't long before they were both nude in the middle of the floor ,kissing passionately...

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..." he moaned as he began to kiss her deeper, more passionately...still rubbing her legs and squeezing her hips and buttocks..

He then took one of her breasts in his mouth and began to suck it lightly...She moaned....and looked away....

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....you feel so gooooood!" she moaned....

"ohhhhh, so do youuuuuuuuuuuuu..."January groaned.

"I'm so glad to be back in your arms...loving you...I hated pretending to be Manny Spain's girl, having to make love to him....I hated his hot stinking breath, how quickly he was done and his snoring  afterwords....oh my god.. "she said softly stroking his rock hard penis...It was always hard..

''That's alright baby...you don't have to worry about him any longer.."said January..

He moaned as she softly stroked his penis and continued to kiss him deeply...


Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh...oh my god....Jan..You're as hard as a rock.."she cooed..

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.."he moaned..

He entered Candace...slowly, very slowly....He wanted to savor every minute...every second..

He took his time and entered her and went in and eased out ,slowly, savoring her wetness and her warmness like a diner savors a fine steak...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.."moaned Candace as January began to make sweet love to her...on the bed...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh baby!" he moaned..

She wrapped her legs around his waist ,so he could take all of her...and he didn't disappoint her...

"Take your time...Take your timeeeeeeeeeeee....Take your time...Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu." she moaned.

"Oh my god...I'm losin my damn mind" he moaned...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..ohh my goodness...Ouuuuuuuuuuuuu"she cooed.

 The bed was soon rocking back and forth furiously...the headboard softly slamming against the wall...

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY goddddddddddddddddddddddd!" he moaned...

  Candace's kisses  were soft ...Her lips were like butter...January was losing his mind with each kiss...

"Candy...I'm losin my damn mind!" he said  again softly....

Three hours turned to five and January was still going at it..He was making up for seemingly lost time..He hadn't seen her in a few days   and soon he came like a gusher....

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..JANUARY CARSON...I love you....ohhhhhh,so much baby!"moaned Candace as he came furiously and his body shook....She had climaxed at least four times during the past five hours....

"I love you too baby" he moaned...still cumming hard and shaking...

He dozed off to sleep, a very peaceful sleep...When he woke up, Candace was smiling at him..

 ''What's up for today baby?"She asked.

"Today...I rest...I'm gonna let what happened last night marinate...Right now Manny Spain and Gino Valentine are shaking in their boots.."he said

They both laughed maniacally...

II-

Since we would more than likely be working this case around the clock..we retreated to the apartment complex the government had bought that we used for special investigations we nicknamed "Copland"

It had rooms in it...a kitchen...a law library where I could work, a morgue and a lab where Hazel could work and a command and control room where we could meet...

The girls, Sissy, Carlotta,Hazel, Sharon and Sirena  had bought decorations for their rooms that stayed there permanantly...since we were frequently there...We packed some bags and moved in within the next two days...

Sissy ,Carlotta and Sirena checked the credit and debit cards and bank accounts of William Boston, Wallace "Boom" Thompson and Amazette Harper...There was nothing out of the ordinary in any of their accounts...

Sharon did a little digging of her own and found out that somebody , a woman had been asking around about Boston, Thompson and Gino Valentine, where they hung out, what they drank..et al in the weeks before the attacks...but nobody got a name..

Hazel discovered that all three were killed with bullets and a gun manufactured in Europe...The Netherlands to be exact...

Duke ,Tyriq,Jimmy and Hop interviewed practically every family member, every known associate,legitimate and criminal of both Boom Thompson and William Boston and came up with absolutely no clue of who would've had the stones to kill them...They found the get away car...It had been wiped down and bleached....No fingerprints or DNA...It had been reported stolen a week before.

So our great round the clock investigation had turned up nothing....48 hours had gone by since the night of the triple murder and we were no where closer than we had been the night before...

We had plain clothes cops from Vice and Narcotics working with us and detailed to us...We also  had both FBI and DEA agents detailed to us too...Sharon was in charge of the federal agents who were all on the third floor

While the Vice and Narcotics cops reported to Duke and Sirena..They were on the fourth floor...We were on the second floor.

The fact that we were staying here and working out of here was top secret...We thorougly vetted every cop and federal agent here....The only one in the department who knew we were here was Captain Edward Cantrell...No one else..

Vice and Narcotics ,along with the DEA were following the drug gangs... and word on the streets was that product was lean...They were running short, but being told to be patient...

With William Boston dead and no longer around to scare the daylights out of them...Some were already bucking and buying from outside sources...

III-

 The next day...It was raining like crazy....I ordered breakfasts from Sam Mother's diner and had them delivered by truck to ''Copland" Nobody was on the streets today, not the Vice and Narcotics cops or the DEA and FBI agents...they were in their rooms relaxing...We had little or nothing for them to do..

Sissy and the guys were in the conference room...Pretty depressed ,when we got a vistor...DEA Special Agent in Charge, Carol Redding..

''Hey guys...Long time no see..."she said.

"Hey Carol." I said.

''Why you guys looking so glum?" she asked.

''Well we have two major players we had targeted , dead for starters and a third player, almost killed...and we got nothing on our three open murder cases...Which brings our total to four open murder cases if you include June Carson....a few months ago and nowhere close to getting our main target, Manny Spain." said Sissy.

"Rico ,Jimmy and me caught June Carson and Wallace "Boom" Thompson..who probably killed him..We were close to cracking the two year old Big Tuna murder case..."said Carlotta.

''We had a co-operating witness Carol...Ralph Cordon...He was murdered in prison."said Tyriq.

"The closer we get to untangling this mess...the farther we get."sighed Jimmy...

"My partner and I got William Boston.....Duke,Narcotics and Vice and I had been profiling him ,trying to put a tag on him for months and now he's dead."said Sirena..

"We are dead in the water with everything."said Hop...

"They tried to get the number two man, Gino Valentine...but they missed, hit a citizen...Nobody has seen Valentine..He's in the wind..."said Duke..

"The only clue I have is that the gun used in all three murders was manufactured in the Netherlands.."said Hazel...

Carol smiled..

"The good news is that you guys have slowed Manny Spain's operation down...The drug gangs are lean..They're running out of product and no new product is being distributed...They're bucking..some of them and buying from other suppliers...We have been looking at him too..When I heard about the triple murder a few nights ago...I knew you people were on it...I stopped by your office and none of you were there...I figured you all were here.."she said.

"So you're on Spain too huh Carol?" I asked.

"We've been on him...He doesn't talk business on his phones...none of them...He has three cell phones and he changes the sim card on a regular basis...we have his condo wired....Outside of sex with numerous women...He doesn't talk or do business in his condo...but he does meet with Gino Valentine once a week at Minks of all places...Haven't been able to get anybody close enough to know what he talks about...but you can bet that it's the count...and the business.."she said.

''We've been on his bank accounts..He has three offshore accounts in the Caymen Islands...He's taking in millions...and we can't touch em...His on shore accounts is all legitimate money...From his condos and his public ventures..."said Sharon.

"His day to day is a meeting with the Chamber of Commerce, Drinks with the Mayor...Lunch with some real estate magnate and Dinner and drinks with various women."said Carlotta.

"Capped off by a trip to his condo and sex...pretty boring stuff...We got nothing on Spain.."said Sirena...

"You get Valentine, you get Spain...He's weak...He's not like June Carson was or even William Boston....With them dead, he's shaking in his boots...You should see him....You guys are on the right track...Keep the pressure on the gangs...Narcotics, Vice and my Agents will help you with that...I'm here to supply you with a list of names...47 names.....and photos and tapes...All of em are known drug dealers...I figure you guys might feel better if you take a few doors.." she laughed..

"Why doesn't the DEA take em?" asked Hop...

"Too obvious....These 47 guys are loyal to Spain...with them in custody...You will drive him nuts..and maybe..just maybe...He'll drive Gino Valentine right into your arms...You flip him and you've got a federal witness...He'll give you Manny Spain." she said.

I looked at Sissy...

"Let's take some doors guys." she said.

IV-

 That rainy night...Carlotta, Jimmy and Tyriq, bolstered by ten uniformed cops and ten plain clothes cops arrested 20 of the suspects in controlled raids...

Meanwhile, Sirena, Hop and plain clothes officers from Vice and Narcotics arrested 20 other suspects in controlled raids...

Duke, Sharon and Carol and agents of the FBI and DEA, along with plain clothes Narcotics cops and Plain Clothes Vice Cops arrested 7 major players who rounded out the list...

Carol had given us good information...None of these 47 suspects would lead us to Manny Spain, but with them off the streets....Whoever was left was less inclined to obey and wait for the shop to be set up...His grip on the city was broken in one night of raids...

 The streets were talking... These guys had all been hit by surprise...Gino Valentine hadn't warned them like he usually did....In fact..No one had seen him..Word was..He was running scared..

V-

That night....I sat with Sissy in the conference room...

"You coming upstairs Sis? Everybody is in Duke and Hazel's room playing cards and eating."I said..."The task force did good....We took down some major players tonight."I said.

"Yes..Carol was good for morale...but we still have three unsolved murders..and shook up or not, We aren't any closer to Manny Spain, but his world is a bit shook up tonight. My husband is bringing Angie...

I was waiting down here for them...It's raining so hard...I hope they don't have too much trouble in traffic."laughed Sissy.

"Indeed his world is shook up....This has not been a good week for him..So what is next?" I asked.

"There is no next Keith...We've shaken things up and the killer has shaken him up...Now we have to wait for him to make his move...The mountain has to come to mohammad."she said.

I smiled..

"Sissy, you're a smart woman.." I said.

What I didn't know was that in a rental house in another section of the city...

January Carson was naked...laying across the bed...Candace Nelson was again clad in only panties and bra...She looked at him and smiled.

"Baby...this couldn't have worked out better if you had planned this yourself.. The Cops and the Feds knocked close to 50 people today...major,major guys...Manny Spain's most loyal customers..and the other guys are bucking,buying from other people..Gino is in hot water right now...Manny might take him out himself." she laughed...

"Nice.....Nice...This is better than I'd hoped...but I don't understand...Gino has a cop in his pocket,same guy June had...a big wig...a Lieutenant....He should have known about this task force and these busts...Wonder how come he didn't? Unless this operation is so secret, even his guy doesn't know...Hahahahahahahaha....Anyway...this is good...Not my problem....This is the beginning of the end of Gino Valentine...and eventually Manny Spain...hahahahahahahahahahaha."he laughed..
