Wet Bust

Five Philadelphia Marine Police Boats went out...followed by a boat that had represenatives of the local media on it...

Lt. Tragg and several Marine Police Officers armed to the teeth and wearing Kevlar and trauma plates and carrying riot pump shotguns headed out toward the middle of the river where a lone boat was docked..

The captain of the marine boat used his binoculars to survey the scene...

"What do you have Smitty?" asked Lt. Tragg....

"I have a visual...It's Ronnie Mo alright...but it looks like he is just playing cards with some friends..."said the man...

"Friends? Probably a number of the top drug suspects on the east coast."said Lt.Tragg..

''Sir, we are talking about Ronnie Mo...He's not exactly...Al Capone sir."said Angie...

"Oh you mean Manny Spain, your big fish....right?  He has taken over since Spain went down..he's the man now.."said Lt. Tragg...

Angie laughed....

"You're kidding right? He sells a little pot every now and then....He runs a semi legal gambling ring off that boat.....are you kidding me Lieutenant?? Please....Look...In all seriousness...Don't do this...Call your men off...don't embarrass yourself with this."said Angie ,now seriously trying to help Lt. Tragg...

"Ohhhhh no...you guys don't fool me one bit...I know you were just sent here to pacify me...String me a long with tid bits of information while you guys lock in on the big fish....Ronnie Mo and I look like a fool with nothing...Well this time..I am a step ahead of you....I know the target is Ronnie Mo." said Lt. Tragg..."Oh and you are to stay on this boat...This is my collar and I don't want any of Sissy's people taking any credit for it.." he said.

''With pleasure sir."said Angie, relieved that she wouldn't be filmed taking part in this farce...

The seven Marine Police boats surrounded the little boat....Lt. Tragg bellowed from a foghorn...

"ALRIGHT RONNIE MO...GET YOUR HANDS UP!! THE JIG IS UP...YOU'RE UNDER ARREST FOR THREE COUNTS OF MURDER ONE!" he shouted...

Inside the boat....Several men were having a spirited game of poker....Drinking beer and laughing and talking....

''Ronnie...You kill somebody?" asked one man.

"Nah...this guy is crazy...Totally off his nut...I aint even been in town the last three weeks..I told ya I was in Jamaica...I just got back yesterday." said Ronnie Mo...

Lt. Tragg kicked the door in and rushed in with his Glock loaded and aimed at Ronnie Mo and the five other men who were playing poker...

"Mr. Mo I presume..."he said.

Ronnie Mo looked up...

"Yeah...Who wants to know?" he said..

"Lose that attitude creep...You're under arrest on three counts of murder one.." said Lt. Tragg.."Read him his rights and hook him up boys.."he said.

"Tragg,you're off your nut..I didn't kill nobody....You're crazy...What is this??...You miss bein on TV,so you need me for a photo op?" laughed Ronnie Mo..

"When they stick a needle in your fat little arms...I'll be there you cheap punk" snarled Lt. Tragg..

II-

 Back at the pier...Reporters snapped hundreds of Photos of Lt. Tragg and his men with Ronnie Mo in handcuffs walking towards a police cruiser...Lt. Sissy Van Buren and I ,along with my wife, Detective Carlotta Rodriguez-Wallace, Detectives Tyriq Pile, Jimmy Barlow,Duke Baylor ,Sirena Pile and Tony Hopkins watched as Lt. Tragg hauled in his suspect....He stopped and posed for photos with Ronnie Mo, who equally a ham, looked sinister on purpose....Reporters asked him...

"Ronnie Mo...Did you kill those three people on the houseboat two nights ago?"

"I didn't kill anybody..." he said.

We stood and watched as Lt Tragg dragged him  a long...

"Move it Mo...Move it....."he said... He saw us standing there and he couldn't help but gloat...

"Looks like I skunked you guys this time..eh?  I broke this case wide open without doing much.."he said.

"Nothing new there Lieutenant?" said Duke..

Tyriq,Hop,Jimmy and Carlotta busted out laughing...

"You know Sissy, You could teach your detectives some respect for the bars.. You have a rookie there...You don't want them spoiling him."he said looking at Hop.

"What can I say Lt. Tragg, looks like you were too smart for us."laughed Sissy.

He pointed to Angie..

"Oh and I'm hip to your little spy here...Your pipeline eh?   She didn't fool me one bit...That's why I told her I was going to grab Ronnie Mo tonight..and I grabbed him instead this morning...I knew she might tell you guys....So I did a little end run..."he said.

Angie had told us about his change of plans too...He hadn't been that good at hiding that fact from her,which was why we were here....We never had any plans to arrest Ronnie Mo...I don't know what gave him that idea.

"We were supposed to be on the same team Lieutenant...This isn't a competition...Three people got murdered here."I said.

''And I have your killer."he said as they walked off.

Angie watched him walk off and shook her head...

"He really is a dope." she said...

I made a quick call on my phone....Then turned.....

"He really is...I just did Ronnie Mo the biggest favor I'm ever going to do him....Come on guys...Let's get some breakfast." I said.

II-

 Some hours later-

Ronnie Mo sat in the interrogation room...What the detectives like to call -"The Fishbowl" ...Lt. Tragg walked in and put some files on the table..

"You're in big trouble Ronnie Mo...Murder....Three murders.....You killed Millionaire socialie,  Robert Gucci and his real estate brokers,...Richard and Josie Ellison...What was it Ronnie baby?...You were shaking him down and he wouldn't come up with the cash? Huh?"asked  Lt.Tragg.

Ronnie Mo laughed...

"Is this an episode of Catfish? You tryin to Catfish me Lieutenant?? ME? Shakin down a guy like Gucci?? ME??  I don't even know the guy first off...I don't even operate in that area...Plus I wasn't even in town when they got murdered."he said..

''And you don't need to say anymore Mr. Mo."came the voice of Attorney Olivia Bennett- Alexander

Lt. Tragg slammed his hands down on the table..

"Olivia ,what are you doing here? You back in the public defenders office?  I thought your level of client was above his pay grade."said Lt. Tragg..

"Turns out he has a friend above his pay grade too....A friend he doesn't even know about who called us."said her niece, Attorney Beverly West.

"And an alibi...."said Olivia's husband, Donnie Ray Alexander, the firms investigator..

"AN ALIBI?? Like Hell he does!" screamed Lt. Tragg...

"Why don't you tell him Mr. Mo."said Donnie Ray..

Ronnie Mo laughed...

"This gets better every second...I was in Jamaica the past three weeks...I just got back yesterday..."he said.

"You Lie! Proove it!!!" said Lt. Tragg..

Olivia produced his Passport and photos of him in Jamaica...Time stamped photos....

"That proof enough?  He was in the newspaper down there...He caught a huge fish..."said Olivia Bennett ,showing Lt. Tragg a newspaper clipping from last week....

"You've got nothing to hold him on....He and his friends were playing cards and drinking beer on his boat....No laws against that...They are all above the age of consent...You didn't find any drugs...Nobody was playing for money...and the way I look at it...No laws were broken."said Beverly...

''Detective Hopkins and Detective Barlow shared with my husband all of the footage taken around the houseboat where the murders occurred and my client is not on any of the footage...

Going back three weeks...So you have absolutely no evidence this man is guilty of anything...And if you can't charge him...We are done here Lt. Tragg." said Olivia.

"Oh and Dr. Hazel Baylor shared with me...

that our clients fingerprints and DNA ,all of which is on file, him being an ex-felon and all was nowhere to be found on that houseboat."said Beverly.

"Mr. Mo...Let's go.We are done here....And Lt. Tragg if you harrass my client anymore without a warrant and or PROOF of an actual crime...We intend to sue" said Olivia as they ushered Ronnie Mo out of police headquarters....Ronnie Mo looked at Lt. Tragg and smirked..

"Better luck next time Lieutenant."

Lieutenant Tragg kicked the table over and tossed the trash can at the window....and jumped up and down...

Sissy ,Carlotta ,Angie and I were returning to the office just then...

 "Someone is a little upset huh?" said Sissy laughing...

"I'll say..Aye Caramba." said Carlotta...

 "You know...I actually tried to talk him out of arresting Ronnie Moe...He wouldn't listen."

"Here he comes." I said..

"We need twenty four hour surviellience  on that man..." he bellowed...

"For what?" I asked..

''Don't you find it funny that he lawyered up as soon as I got him in the box?" he asked.

"He has a right to an attorney and let's face it...You arrested him without a shred of evidence...You found no drugs, no poison...no nothing...We had to cut loose all of those other guys who were playing cards with him too...Leave him alone..He's not your man.."I said.

"There is a conspiracy here....Somebody with big money is behind him and I aim to find out. "he said and stormed out of the office....

We all shook our heads and laughed....

Duke and Sharon walked in just then....

"We got lucky..We got a hit on the traffic cam and a palm print match..."said Duke...

"Our guy's name is Hugh Benny...He's a high stakes gambler...Runs a high stakes crap game on his houseboat at the marina...Only Millionaires and high rollers play...No small change....Big Money......Word on the street was...Gucci was into Hugh Benny for a couple of million"said Sharon..

Tyriq walked in just then....He heard the tail end of the conversation...

''A couple of million...That's chump change for a guy like Robert Gucci..."he said.

"Maybe...but if he didn't pay up in time...It's a motive for murder."said Carlotta...

 "Yeah Lotta, but a soft murder like that?" asked Sirena...

"She's got a point...people like that don't usually kill like that."said Jimmy.

''Still..he was on that boat...at least we know that...Pick him up in the morning..."said Sissy.

''Aren't you worried Lt. Tragg might beat us to it?" joked my wife,Carlotta...

 "Ha!  If he had a clue in his head....He wouldn't know what it was." joked Angie...

We all burst into guffaws of laughter....

III-

We all broke for the day....Carlotta and I drove back to the Marina and entered the houseboat where the murders had occurred.....

I had the key so I made sure the doors were locked.. We retired to one of the bedrooms...

''This is pretty nice Carlotta....You think you might like one of these one day?" I asked.

 She looked around....

"It's nice...Maybe...." she said.

I pulled her to me and began kissing her.....

"Ummmmm, is that why you brought me here? Not to re canvass  the crime scene..."said Carlotta..

"No...I wanted to re canvass you."I said and opened up her blouse...

She was wearing an aqua colored bra....I slowly unbuttoned it...We continued kissing passionately...

''Papi..that was you...You called Olivia Bennett-Alexander and Beverly West didn't you?" asked Carlotta...

"Yeah...I did...Olivia is a friend Carlotta and she hates Lt. Tragg as much as you do...I knew Tragg had no evidence against Ronnie Mo....so I called her and I told Jimmy and Hop and Hazel to give them whatever information they needed....She jumped at the chance to stick it to Tragg...He arrested her husband a few months back you remember ..on some nonsense...She repped Ronnie Mo for free.."I said.

"Oh I have such a smart husband.." she laughed..

I slipped her dress off...she was wearing peach colored bikini panties...

"You're not matching today...but I like what I see..."I said...

"Thank you for being so observant papi."she said and gave me the most slowest sensual kiss imaginable..

It wasn't long before we were both nude and in the middle of the floor kissing passionately...I was so hard....I could barely move...Something that was not lost on Carlotta...

"Ouuuuuuu look at you papi." she said as I sat down on the side of the bed...

She lowered herself down on my engorged penis and slowly began to move up and down...up and down..She was warm and very wet and her long hair blew into my face....

She was speaking spanish and gasping for air.....I could tell she was enjoying every minute of this, as was I...

Five hours passed by easily as we continued to make sweet love....eventually,I was lying on my back as Carlotta moved up and down...her bottom lip quivering.....

Tears were streaming from her eyes down the side of her face and she was shaking like crazy....

"Ohhhhhhh..Ayyyeee Papiiiiiiiii ...Aye Mios Dios.....ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.."she cooed..

"Oh My god Carlotta.."I moaned...

Soon I was on top of her going in and out.....and I began to shake...my back began to stiffen and before I knew it...I was coming hard.....

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.."

So was Carlotta....

"Papi ...Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh..Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu you feel SO good!"she moaned as she began coming...Shaking, tears flowing from her eyes and holding me for dear life as I exploded again..

We took a hot shower together...kissing and fondling each other until we could take it no longer....We finished, dried off and wound up back on the bed...Carlotta lowering herself down on me and me enjoying her immensely for another two hours....

IV-

It was two in the morning....

Carlotta and I walked down Penns Landing holding hands...

 "That was sooo nice papi...Ouuu...Just thinking about it has got me so ...so horny all over again.."she said.

"Me too babes...Let's go back."I said.

"No...Let's go home....I'm getting a little sea sick up here by all this water and the smell of all these fish."said Carlotta...

"Yeah...good point..Tomorrow, maybe we'll get a break in this case."I said.

Just as we got to my car we saw Marine Officer ,Richard "Bud" Mathis....

"ADA Wallace...Detective Rodriguez....Oh that's right...It's Detective Wallace now...Did I see you two leaving that house boat where the triple murders occurred?" he asked.

"It's our crime scene...We were re canvassing the scene."said Carlotta..

He smiled..I could tell he didn't believe us...

"Re canvassing huh?  You find anything new?" he asked.

"As a matter of fact, I did...I've already called my partner...You remember Detective Tyriq Pile don't you? He's the primary..."said Carlotta smiling sweetly and remaining as cool as a cucumber..

"You always uh bring your husband to a crime scene?" he asked..

"Why are you so interested in our crime scene?" asked Carlotta...

"Just askin...Cop to Cop..."he said...He looked at his watch -"Oh look at the time...My shift is over...Got to go...Have a nice night Wallaces." he said smiling as he walked off...

Carlotta looked at me...Then looked at him.

''Asshole"she spat...

I just smiled.
