Little Bag of Diamonds

I drove up to the apartment complex where Ralph Black ,the security guard was said to live...I contacted the super before I got there...

She was a very attractive and shapely Black woman with glasses and a dress that was a little too tight and form fitting...and stilletto heels...Not what I expected.

She smiled when I arrived...

"Well Hello...Mr. Morris is it? .." she asked....

"Yes..and you are..?" I asked.

"Lorraine ...Lorraine Hawkins...I'm the manager here...Mmmm,that suit fits you quite well and you smell great."she smiled..

"Pleased to meet you...I came to inquire about one of your tenents...Mr. Ralph Black.?" I said smiling... 

She got very close to me....She had on a nice smelling fragrance...She smiled salaciously...

"Ralph?? I know him....He's in room 407....You're the second person in two days to ask about Ralph...What's he done?" she asked..

"You seen him lately?" I asked, purposely ignoring her question...Though I was tempted to ask her who the first person was that asked about him.

"Not in two days..." she laughed...

"Hmmm,I wonder if you could uh let me into uh his room?" I laughed....She was so close to me,I was a little uncomfortable and I think she knew that...

She laughed...

"Now Mr. Morrissssss...Are you a cop?" she asked..

"No..I'm not...I'm a private investigator."I said and showed her my card...

"Ummmmm...a private dick eh?...I like private dicks...Hahahahahahahah ."she laughed seductively..

I went in my wallet and pretended to drop a fifty on the ground...

"Oh my goodness...look at me...I appear to have dropped a fifty dollar bill on the floor..."I laughed..

"Mister Morris...You are naughty aren't you....Let me take care of that for you.."she said laughing and reached down to pick up the fifty....Look at you trying to sneak a peek at my girls."she laughed and picked up the $50.00...She slyly and seductively slipped the bill into her bra, which was fighting a losing battle trying to keep her large breasts in check...

She produced a key card....

"Come on, follow me.."she said.

We got on the elevator and went to the 4th floor room of Ralph Black...

She opened the door..but stood in the way...

"Don't stay too long...and uh...for another fifty...You can uh come look at my room.....For as long as you want..."she said seductively....

I looked at her and smiled...


"I'm on the first floor...Room 101." she said smiling..

"Uh,I'll keep that in mind."I said..

I walked in Ralph Black's room...It was surprisingly neat and clean......No dirty dishes in the sink...His uniforms and clothing neatly hung, Bed made up...

It took me no time to locate at least some of the diamonds stolen.

Philly Frank Swanson had been right about him...I bagged the diamonds up in a small bag....I found his wallet...It was full of cash...About $500.00 in twenties...It had his drivers license in it and two credit cards and a debit card....I took down the numbers off of everything and then put his wallet back.. I found some dry cleaning...It looked like it had been picked up two days before..

Except for the diamonds...I left everything else ..Including his wallet as it had been...I left and returned the keycard to Ms.Hawkins...

"You find what you were looking for Mr. Morris?" she asked..

"Well some of it..When do you expect Mr. Black back?" I asked..

"He comes and goes...I don't know..."she said.

"Well...here is my card....If you see him, give him my card,tell him to call this number."I said..

"Can I call it?" she asked..

"I don't think my wife would like that."I said smiling...

"Damn, the best ones are always taken.."she said..

"Some times it's just like that.."I said...

''Well if you ever change your mind...You know where to find me handsome." she said.

"Yes I do." I said..."Thank you." I said.

II-

 When I got home, my baby girl was fast asleep...Sepia was still up...And I'm glad...All that heavy breathing and talking to Lorraine Hawkins had gotten me good and aroused..

''What's in the bag?" she asked..

I poured the bag's  contents on the living room table...Sepia's eyes got as large as saucers...

Diamonds....Diamonds galore...

"Oh My God...Kevin!!!"she said.

"I was hired to find these...They were stolen from the jewelry store....This is only some of the jewelry...Half of it is missing...as well as the thief...My guess is he tried to pawn this stuff off...I'll look into that tomorrow after I return this stuff.."I said...

I lifted Sepia up...She giggled like a school girl...

"But for right now....My main focus is on you."I said and kissed Sepia passionately....

"Put me down...Put me down silly." she laughed...

"Ouuuu baby, you are so good to me." said Sepia...

"You're good to me."I said as I slowly undressed her and she slowly undressed me...Just looking at her sexy body got me more aroused than my jaw jacking session with Lorraine Hawkins....

Sepia looked at me and smiled..

"My goodness Kevin..you're as hard as a tree trunk...ouuuuuu..." she laughed...

Within minutes we were in the middle of the bedroom floor ,naked...Kissing as if kissing was going out of style....

Sepia kissed my neck and my chest and blew quietly into my ear.....which drove me crazy....She softly fondled me.....

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.."I moaned...

"You like that?" she whispered......

"You know I do.." I moaned...

I thrusted my tongue practically down her throat and while squeezing her breasts with my hands....She began rubbing my engorged penis fervently....She was very close to making me explode...

I laid her across our bed , a few minutes later and I entered her softly and gently and began to stroke her softly and slowly....I wanted to savor every minute,every second of this...She moaned and put her arms around my neck and drew me closer to her..I kissed her neck, between her breasts, her cheeks....She continued to kiss my lips and my ears and my chest...

"Ohhh My God Kevin...I can't believe how good this feels! Lawdddddddddddd.." she moaned..

She wrapped her legs around my waste and we began to move in a slow, yet deliberate rhythm for quite some time...She matched me thrust for thrust and even kissed my shoulder at one point...She was so soft...so moist and smelled so good...I was losing my mind....She was shaking and looking like she was on the verge of crying the entire time.......

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...OHHH MY GOODNESS...OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! KEVIN!!!" she moaned loudly ,obviously not caring who heard us....Our bed squeaked loudly and the headboard pounded against the wall...I was so glad baby Kimberly, our daughter was two rooms down..

We made sweet passionate and intense love like this for close to five hours... I couldn't seem to get enough of Sepia...Maybe I never could have...

"It's sooooooooooooooo goooddd...Oh my godddddddddddddd it's soooooo gooood Oh my Goddd Kevin....ohhhhh don't stoppp, don't stopp...don't ever stop...ouuuuuuuuuuuu...yesssssssssssss!" she screamed as we both climaxed in a crescendo of sweat...

I came so hard, I was afraid I was on the verge of dying....

 She lie between my legs, with both of her arms hanging down along the sides of the bed...I played in her hair...She continued to kiss my chest and my neck softly...

"Thank you for the diamond ring baby....but I'd of gave you some whether you bought that for me or not ."she said.

"I know that"I said and kissed her forehead...."This is just for all of the years you've been giving me good loving."I said..

"Awwwww..."she said and kissed me passionately again...We lie there ,both of us too tired to go at it again, just kissing like two high school kids...

It wasn't long though before I had mounted her again..and we began a second round of sweet love making..

"Ohhhh,ouuuuuuu..oh my goodness Kevin...Ohhhh..." she moaned...

III-

 I poured my little bag of Diamonds across Frankie's counter....He was very pleased...

"Wow ,this was certainly faster than I expected..." he said.

"You were right about Black..I found em in his apartment in a drawer..."I said..."But this is all I've found so far."I said.

"Is he in jail?" he asked.

"No...No sign of him...He hasn't been seen by anyone in his apartment building in two days...Which would be the day he stole these from here.."I said.

"Damn..this is only a third of the jewels."said Frankie..

"Don't worry...I'm still hunting...My guess is that he fenced them out....I know guys who know guys...I'll find the rest of them and hopefully Ralph Black."I said.

Frankie thanked me profusely and gave me another envelope with money in it..

"Thanks Kevin...I knew I could count on you." he said.

"Be Easy Frankie...Maybe I'll have some good news for you soon." I said as I left..

IV-

I stopped in Josies that afternoon after I left work...

"Hey kid...Haven't seen you around in awhile..."said Gus...

"Been busy Gus,both at work and with other things..."I said.

Gus opened a bottle of Corona for me and smiled..

"So what's good?" he asked..

"Gus,you know a guy named Black? Ralph Black, a security guard?" I asked..

Gus laughed..

"Hee.. Hee.. Hee..Hee..They let that guy be a security guard?" he laughed...

"So you do know him?" I asked.

"Yeah,Yeah...Ralphie used to come through here quite a bit...He was a box man (safe cracker) you know..."said Gus..

"No,I didn't know that."I said.

"Yeah...He did a nickel (5 years) in the state pen.....He's a security guard huh?   Whatever he's guarding, they better watch him...It'll walk.."laughed Gus...

"Apparently, that's what happened."I said.

"I aint surprised... "Hee.. Hee.. Hee..Hee."laughed Gus..

"When is the last time you saw him?" I asked...

"Two days ago...He came in bought a round of drinks for some women...Was in here about an hour and then left." he said.  "What do you want with him?" asked Gus..

"I think he stole some diamonds off of Frankie Swanson....My client." I said.

"A thief stealing from another thief."laughed Gus....

"Frankie Swanson is alright.."I said...

"I wouldn't leave my drawers around that chisler.."said Gus...

"You're all heart Gus." I said laughing myself and continuing to drink my beer...

This case that at once seemed so simple had now hit a snag....

Didn't my cases always do that?
