Even The Dog

 PHILADELPHIA ,2040-

My wife, Monica.....Detective Monica Talbert-Nellis.. sat on the bed in sheer practically see through pajama pants....and a white sheer see through top.....She watched me intently as I came out of the shower and through on some boxer shorts, a gray t-shirt and splashed on some cologne...

I leaned over and kissed her softly and slowly for a few minutes.....

"Ummmmmm..I never get tired of that." I said and smiled..

"That's a nice smelling cologne you have on...It smells kind of out doorsy, like you just left the shower." said Monica..

I rolled over on top of her....

"I did just get out of the shower silly..."I said....

"You don't smell so bad yourself..."I said and kissed her slowly...and eventually passionately....We both lie on the bed devouring each others lips....

We were spending a weekend at the Undersea Hotel....Octopuss Garden....We had cracked a number of cases and had earned a few days off...We had come down Thursday night and was staying until Sunday......

I had gotten over my fear of traveling so deep underwater and had gotten used to the undersea enviroment....It's bistros, it's dance clubs, the shopping and the undersea hotel....

"Ouuuu Nate...baby...I never get tired of this either." she said and subtley slid my boxers down.....

"Oh My God NATE!" she exclaimed....

I was as hard as a rock and engorged.....she smiled and just shook her head....

I slipped her pajama bottoms down and off and slowly mounted her....Kissing her softly and slowly and rubbing her breasts.....

"Damn girl..."I exclaimed...

She giggled as I began to slowly move in and out of her warm and moist center...

"Ohhhh Nate, Oh my god baby...ouuuuuuu.." she moaned..

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY GOD, OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Nate..." she screamed as I continued to thrust , harder and feverishly more.....

  Six hours came and went as Monica and I made sweet and passionate love right there in that wonderful room on that soft bed....The bed wasn't squeaking, but the headboard was definitely slamming up against the wall...

What a wonderful afternoon this was...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh Nate...ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.." she moaned with pleasure....

''Mo-Mo....I'm losing my mind..."I screamed....

She was so warm, so moist...smelled sooo good....I couldn't imagine that anybody could feel this good in the bed....

I watched as Monica's head moved from side to side, as tears flowed down her face and as she climaxed very hard.....Before I knew it...I was coming so hard...I thought I was having a heart attack...

"Babes...ouuuuu you are killing me.."I said.

She smiled...

"You're killing me.." she said and gave me a juicy and wet kiss....

"Okay get up off of me....ouuuuuu, I'm tired...Wow!" she said as I rolled over on my back...

"Wanna go get something to eat?" I asked..

"I'm debating between sleeping and eating....but I am hungry....Let's get up...and go eat." she said.

We both dressed and headed to the Underwater Cafe.....Where we had a delicious meal.....

"You know Mo-Mo...I could get used to this...Staying here..."I joked...

"Screwing me and eating fine meals...I bet you could...but we'd run out of money soon partner." she said laughing...

"Yeah ,I guess we would...So ,I suppose we got to return to the surface and solve murders huh?" I joked..

''That's how we make the money to afford these weekends..." said Monica.

This was indeed the calm before the storm...upon our return topside...Monica and I were going to be thrown into one of our strangest murder cases...

II-

 THREE DAYS LATER-

Monica and I were headed out to a crime scene....Her twin sister Monique was already there and had called us, telling us we wouldn't believe this one... I decided not to eat anything...I had seen some pretty bad crime scenes and I did not want my stomach upset...I had also bought a gardenia and pinned it to my wife's lapel...Hoping the smell of the flower would negate the smell of decomp or whatever else we were going to smell...

"Awwwww, that's so sweet....The Lieutenant taught you that right?" she asked..

"Yeah, I have watched him pin one on your sister from time to time.."I said.

"I still think it's sweet.."she said and kissed me on the cheek...

"This is the place."I said as my Flying Car landed...

 Monique  was there already with her staff and six or seven uniformed policemen...

"Hey you two...Come on inside...You've got to see this."said Monique as we arrived...

It was a beautiful place and it smelled great...That was the first surprise....Once inside...We saw a very attractive and shapely woman in a sheer white nightgown sitting at the dinner table...She looked like she was asleep.... On the floor near the kitchen was a young man, He was dressed in some nice trousers, a very colorful shirt and some black slippers...He was sitting upright on the floor,with a drink glass in his hands....His lifeless eyes staring straight ahead.....

To his side was a dog....yes, a dog and the dog was lying near it's empty bowl...stiff as a board....

What I didn't see was any blood, no sign of any violence, nothing in disaray at all... It just looked as though two people were enjoying a meal and some drinks afterwords.......

"Monique, what is this?" I asked..

"Well,it's two adults, male and female, deceased and a dog, also deceased....."she said.

Her sister, Monica laughed...

"I can see that....Is this...Is this...Is this a murder?" I asked..

"I don't know.....We were called because this guy here.....Burt Givens is a major account executive at a big firm downtown and hadn't been seen in three days..." said Monique...

"Is this his wife?" asked Monica..

"Nooooooo...This is where it gets cute...This is his uh best friend and work partner's wife..."she said..

Monica smiled and put her hands over her mouth...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.."she said...

I cracked up laughing...

"Where is the husband?" I asked..

"I can answer that.."said Lt. Cotton as he and two policemen walked into the house...."He's on the moon at a conference in Luna City...He's been gone for a week...We've contacted him....He was sent out there on some business by this guy here on the floor..Burt Givens..."he said.

"He sends the husband on a business trip and his boy here slips over to his house for some freaky sneaky with his wife..."I said...

"Well....There is no sign of that....I mean the look in the bedroom.."said Lt. Cotton..

"I did...the bed is made up....I went in the bathroom...It's dry as a bone..there is no sign that anything like that was going on."said Monica.

"Look at this sheer nightgown she's wearing...You can see her panties and bra underneath....and from what I can see they are quite expensive....These are from Agent Provacatuer...One of the priciest lingerie spots in town... Looks like they had dinner and drinks....I'm bettin that bed would have been unmade within the next hour,had they of lived..."I said.

Monique,Monica and Lieutenant Cotton all gave me the side eye and then they all smiled sheepishly and looked at each other...

"What?..What? You know I'm right..."I said....

"Sis ,What is the cause of death?" asked Monica....

"I don't know...I'm guessing poisoning....I mean these were two healthy young people...What is the chance they both just had heart failure at the same time??But there is no saliva around their mouths,no smell of almonds that would signal cyanide, which is the common kind of poison people use...Nothing..They look like they all died of natural causes.."said Monique..

"Even the dog?" asked Monica...

"Yeah, even the dog...I've got to get these people to the morgue and examine them..."she said.

"How long have they been dead?" I asked...

"Judging by lividity and body temperature....I'd say about 48 hours...." said Monique..

''So loverboy here arrived Friday afternoon...and sometime Saturday afternoon after dinner, He and the missus here had dinner and drinks and fell out...."I said.

I walked over to a trash recepticle and grabbed a plastic bag......I pulled up a loaded condom....I placed it in the bag...

"Look at this..a loaded condom...Still think nothing untoward went on here?" I asked..

"Okay...so This guy and this man's wife were having an affair....They are both dead....Naturally our number one suspect is the husband...but he's been out of town for three days..."said Monica.

"He could have placed the poison in the food or the champaigne before he left..."I said.

"Well at any rate...We have our work cut out for us..."said my wife... "Release the body."she said.

"You takin this one babes?" I asked and nibbled on her neck...

"Yeah...this one is right up my alley.." she said...

I rubbed her hands softly and smiled..

III-

The four of us stood and somberly watched as the bodies of Barbara Cummingsly and Burt Givens and the dog, Beasly out of the loft and loaded them into the M.E.'s van....

Lieutenant Cotton whispered in Monique's ear....

"You know..I haven't seen you up close in a few days Dr. Talbert..." he said.

 "That's because you chose to hang with your fellas..."she said softly...

''Well I'd like to uh hang with you tonight...Can we arrange that?"he asked..

"I guess...Kylie and I are supposed to go out for drinks...Maybe when we come back,I'll give you a call."said Monique.

"You and Kylie huh? I never imagined you two friends...I guess stranger things have happened huh?" he asked..

"She's a sweet girl."said Monique..

"She is indeed...She still seeing Detective Wallace?" asked Lt. Cotton..

"Yeah...kinda sort of...but the run from here to Luna City is taking it's toll..."said Monique..

"Well how come Detective Wallace hasn't come back here?"asked Lt. Cotton.

''And there is her dillema."said Monique.

''Well here is mine...I'm quite horny right now." he said.

"Well you're going to have to take a real cold shower lover boy...I've got two bodies and a dog to examine..See ya around."said Monique as she headed to the M.E.'s van....

''Even the Dog?" asked Lt. Cotton smiling..

"Yes ,Even the Dog!" she said.

Lt. Cotton smiled... Monique was even sexier when she ocassionally turned him down for an afternoon tryst.

IV-

Meanwhile, Monica and I were kissing in the back hallway of the precinct...

"Baby,let's cool it before we get caught."she said easing out of my embrace..

"Mo-Mo..we are married....everybody knows it."I laughed..

"Yeah,but we are supposed to be professional..." said Monica...

"You're right...."I said as I took her hand and we walked back in the squadroom....

"And speaking of unprofessional.."I joked as my ex-partner ,Wally Becker stood by my desk....

"Hello Nellises..." he said as we both sat down...

"Detective Becker....what can we do for you?" asked my wife, Monica..

"You seen Kylie?" he asked...

"Not today...We were out on a call..."I said..

He looked at his phone...

"Oh she texted me..I thought it was something important....Oh uh okay...Tell her I was by."he said and left...

Monica looked at him as he left...

"He was telling the truth...He wasn't stalking.....Something is different about him partner..."she said.

"Yeah,I know...He doesn't seem so thirsty anymore...So annoying...He actually seems....well uh,normal."I said laughing...

"I don't know....But between this case and other things going on around here...Things are going to get real interesting....Keep your eyes open partner..."said Monica..
