Natural Causes

Monica and I stood in the Medical Examiner's Office staring at the bodies of an adult male and adult female and a dog....They were on three seperate tables....My wife's identical twin sister, Dr. Monique Talbert looked perplexed...

"Guys...This is the damndest thing...It appears that both of these people and this dog all died of heart failure.."she said.

''What? That's impossible...This man isn't 40 yet and this woman is barely in her mid thirties...They are both healthy young people in the prime of their lives.."I said.

"And you said yourself that what were the chances of them both dying of heart failure at the same time."said my wife, Detective Monica Talbert-Nellis...

"I know...but I have searched for all known poisons and toxims and I can't find anything...I checked the food in their bodies...I checked the champaigne...I'm running checks on their blood and urine and stool samples...I can't find anything...I don't understand it either..."said Monique..

"What about the loaded condom?? The DNA tell you anything?" I asked.

"I hate to hurt your feelings brother in law...but the semen in that condom did not belong to the deceased Burt Givens..nor did the additional DNA belong to  the deceased Barbara Cummingsly....The DNA on and in that condom belongs to two different individuals...and considering it was in the kitchen waste basket...My guess is that neither one of these two were even aware of it.There was a female pubic hair on the condom and it's not Mrs. Cummingsly's"said Monique..

"Ewww...You think maybe the husband was having an affair?" asked Monica...

"That dear sister is YOUR JOB to find out...but right now...I can't even rule this a homicide...because it looks like both people and the dog died from natural causes."said Monique...

"Strange as it may sound, lets check financials and interview people in their lives..."said Monica...

"I'll take Burt..You take Mrs. Cummingsly..."I said.

"Okay....and Sis...Keep looking....They couldn't have all died from natural causes on the same day."said Monica...

"Okay...but right now...The cause of death is being listed as "Undetermined."said Monique...

II-

Meanwhile at Detective Wally Becker's house.... He and Detective Kylie White were standing in the doorway, kissing passionately....

He was slowly unbuttoning her blouse...
She was wearing a Black lace bra with a flowery  purple lace top...His eyes bulged out of his head...

"Oh My God!" he exclaimed...

Kylie giggled..

"Come on close that door, before someone sees us silly..You act like you haven't seen a bra before.."she laughed...

He took his foot and closed the door of his house...He slowly eased Kylie up against the wall and took her face into the palms of his hands and kissed her passionately....She kissed him passionately and slowly unzippered his trousers...

Her dainty hands began to fondle his hard and engorged penis.....

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..awwwwwwwwwww.."he moaned....

They kissed and devoured each others lips..Kylie shook a bit as if she was cold...

He took her hand and walked her to his bed....

They layed down softly and continued kissing each other as they undressed...

Soon Wally was inside of Kylie's soft and moist center....

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm....I've missed this...it's been about a month girl.." he said..

"Yesssssssssssssssssssss..Ohhhhh my godddd...ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.." she said as they began to make sweet ,passionate love...

Her latest trip to the moon to see Detective Carlos Wallace hadn't been the visit she had thought it was going to be...He was undercover ,on a big case and she didn't see him until she was getting ready to leave...

They had shared a few kisses...but that was it...He was tired from cracking a big case...She asked him when he was coming to visit her in Philly and he said he had no idea...He was very busy...

She had left the moon somewhat underwhelmed... These visits were putting a hurting on her pocketbook as well as her body....She was coming to work exhausted...She had just started feeling like herself again...

She had texted Wally the day before and had unfortunately had to go out on a call and missed him...She called him afterwords ,apologizing profusely and agreeing to meet him today...At Lunch...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.."she cooed as the bed squeaked loudly and the headboard banged against the wall...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh Kylie..Kylie..ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.."he moaned....She felt so good ,he was literally losing his mind and his sense of time..One hour became and hour and a half...before he and she found themselves coming so hard they both screamed out...

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" 

 Kylie lie in between Wally's legs as he played with her hair....

"Good thing we don't punch a clock....huh?" she said.

"Yeah....Damn girl....that was ..that was amazing..." he said...

"Glad you liked it.."she said as she got out of bed....

"Kylie...I'm gone just say it...I think I'm falling in love with you!" He said....

There was an awkward silence between them...

She smiled softly....

"Wow....I must have been good..Don't fall in love with me...Not yet.."she joked...

"When should I?" he asked..

She smiled..

"I don't know..."was all she could say and she felt bad about that...

He didn't say anything else....

They both showered seperately and dressed...

She kissed him softly....

"I heard what you said...I didn't disregard it Wally...I just got to think on it and uh work some things out."she said ...

She kissed him again and rushed out to her car and drove off...

He hung his head...

III-
I was already in the Bistro eating lunch when my wife, Monica arrived...She sat down...She had texted me what she wanted before she got there and her food was waiting for her when she arrived..

"Hey baby" she said and kissed me..

"Damn girl you look sexy.." I said..

She blushed....

"Months of Marriage and you still can make me blush....So what did you get,because I got goose eggs...I checked her financials...Nothing overdrawn....No credit cards over the limit and no suspicious purchases...I talked to her relatives and all of her close friends and all I got was that she was bored with her husband...and considering couples therapy..but not much else...I even tracked her goings and comings the last two weeks of her life...Grocery shopping, Shopping at the mall, getting her nails and hair done..Nothing out of the ordinary..." said Monica..

''Well I did a little better...Givens was apparently a mover and a shaker and a rising star in this company...He was bringing in far more accounts than Herbert Cummingsly,who was the golden boy before Burt got there...In fact it was Cummingsly who brought him in.. Burt has no relatives in this area...He's from the West Coast....But most of his co-workers described him as very ambitious and a bit of a cut throat- Not to be trusted..None knew of any affair between him and Herbert Cummingsly's wife.. I checked his financials too..and it was the same...Nothing overdrawn....No credit cards over the limit and no suspicious purchases... And the last few weeks of his life was a trip to California, with Herbert Cummingsly for business, then a trip to Denver by himself in which he landed a huge contract...and then a few odds and ends here....Barbershop, drinks at several local watering holes ,apparently with someone else...judging by the prices and basic grocery shopping...Take out orders and the ordering of movies...and buying music to download...That was it." I said.

"If he and the wife were doing the hoochie coo...It was at the house...So now we need to look at the husband."said Monica..

''Way ahead of you wifey... This guy is Mr. Boring...I talked to his friends and co-workers while I was at the job....This guy just worked and went home...Rarely went out, never took his wife anywhere or bought her anything...Just worked and went home...He was described as a very timid man... I checked his financials too, just like the two dead people..and  the same...Nothing overdrawn....No credit cards over the limit and no suspicious purchases...Except for hotel expenses on the business trips you mentioned and airline tickets...This guy is clean...Oh..there was a few dinners on it and a couple of bar tabs...Maybe he and his wife did go out in the past few weeks.."I said.

 "Still ,We need to talk to him...Hasn't he been told that his wife was found dead? He should have been here by now..See, if something happened to you...I'd be back here in a heartbeat.""said Monica..

"I know right?? Same here..."I said..."So check this out..They were in the midst of a nasty divorce....I talked to a close friend of his...A Harry Carter...A real smooth operator ,too smooth for my tastes...He said...That Herbert Cummingsly had already moved some of his stuff out of the house and had it in Storage...I checked it out...It was true...Some people told me that he and a very attractive Attorney named Myra Bridges had taken up with each other lately..."I continued.

"He needs to be interviewed....He's got a lot going on ." said Monica.

"But he's on the Moon, at a convention in Luna City....."I said...

"We need to go there..and soon." said Monica...Then she smiled..As I rubbed her hands softly...

"What?" she asked..

"Did I tell you you look sexy today in that black leotard top and those black jeans?" I asked and kissed her again softly..
Monica rubbed my hands softly....

"You did...Three times I believe...No guy has ever loved me like you do..."she said softly....
"How could I not?" I said...

"Awwwwww .."she said and leaned over and kissed me softly... "We gotta stop all of this kissing..We aren't going to be able to get any work done." she laughed.

IV-

 "That's my phone..it's my sister...."said Monica..

"Hi sis...I don't know if this is good news or not...but you definitely have a homicide...I looked up other toxins..and I got a hit...A poison that comes from Europe known as Aramatat....It's used in ,get this..paint thinner... It can cause sudden heart failure if ingested...I found huge traces of it in the bodies of Burt Givens and Barbara Cummingsly....My guess was that it was in the champaigne..."said Monique...
"Okay...that explains the two adults...How did the dog get it?" asked Monica...

"I found champaigne in his system...They must have poured champaigne in his water bowl..." said Monique...

''Wow....Thanks Siss...Now we have to find a suspect.."said Monica.

"Monique found something?" I asked..

"She sure did...A poison called Aramatat...It's from Europe...found in paint thinner...but that's funny...I didn't find any paint thinner on anybody's credit cards or debit card did you?" asked Monica..

"Unless it was purchased by cash..."I said.

"Must be a million Paint stores in the city and people buy paint thinner every day."said Monica..

"We have our work cut out for us partner.."I said.
"Let's find that husband.."said Monica..

"He's in Luna City...Where we have no jurisdiction..."I said..

"No,but we have a friend....who has helped us before don't we?"said Monica smiling seductively...

Just then, Detective Kylie White walked in..

"Hey Nate...Hey Mo-Mo...What's up?" she asked..

"Hey girl, how would you like to go to the moon with us on the department's dime?" asked Monica..

Kylie kind of half smiled...She didn't look as ecstatic as I thought she would...

What is Kylie doing? She's got a man on the moon and Wally Becker...She's going to mess around and lose both.

Lisa said...

She's been visiting Carlos on the moon for the past few stories now and he hasn't once come back to Earth to visit her...That's a sign that he'suh kind of selfish!

Halo said...

Kylie is just doing what men have done for so long...Considering her options!

Vanessa said...

LOL! I like that term...Considering her options!

George S. said...

Anybody care about the two MAIN charactors, Nate and Monica and their murder case?
Just askin!

Brenda said...

Nate and Monica definitely have to talk to that husband...but he seems too obvious..I'm certain it's not him.

Toni said...

We were writing at the same time and on the same thought pattern Brenda...The husband is not the killer..It's someone else..Maybe his friend...

Angie B. said...

Things are about to get real interesting...Relationship wise..

Sunflower said...

I'm loving this story on sooo many levels!

Cheryl said...

It is obvious they all were poisoned...but why the dog? The dead dog may be the key to the mystery.

Grover Tha Playboy said...

The killer could be the husband...He's been notified and he hasn't returned from the moon...And he may be up there with another woman....Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm,he looks guilty as hell to me!

James Perkins said...

I don't know who the killer is...I'm going to wait and see.
