That Ship Has Sailed

Chef Jack Clayton-Thomas sat in the interrogation room....He was an older man , older than my father with gray hair and a smooth face that betrayed his 70 plus years...

I offered him some coffee...He took me up on it...He asked me if he could smoke a cigar...I allowed him to...

I said nothing and he offered nothing...He did perk up when my wife ,Detective Monica Nellis walked in..

She sat down and she smiled..

"Good Morning Mr.Thomas...Do you know why you're down here?" she asked.

He smiled..

"Of course...Because that ...that woman..Anjelica Dallas was killed a few nights ago and I'm a natural suspect." he said.


''We found several threatening texts you sent both to her and Ray Penzo..."I found.

He didn't flinch..

"I sent em...I don't deny it..I was pissed....Especially at Penzo....I was with Ray's father when he opened his first joint...Thirty years I been with the family....I was cooking for them before Ray was walking...AND THIS IS HOW HE DOES ME?  I WAS LIKE FAMILY!!!  People raved about my cooking...He gets one bad review from that bitch and I lose my job???YEAH I WAS PISSED!" he said.

" Did you kill Anjelica Dallas?" asked Monica softly...So soft it was almost a whisper..

He looked at both of us like we were crazy...

"NO!  But I'd be lying if I said I was sorry she is dead...When I heard she was found dead,I jumped up and clapped, Everybody at the bar will attest to that!" he said.

''Where were you on Friday Night?" I asked.

"I was in Nappy Lou's Bar and Grill...I got there around 8:00 pm and I left at closing....I left with a young lady....I'll give you her address,I was with her until daybreak...I wasn't nowhere near that joint...The Shark Bar..." he said.

We knew that...But we had to question him.....

"What did you do after you lost your job?" I asked..

"I had some money saved up...I had to live off of my savings for a little while and then I got a job as head chef at this joint in Camden on the waterfront...I've been working there for a couple of months now..I had to take Ray to court to get my severence pay and to keep my medical benefits a little longer..
You need to talk to his wife...She hated that cunt too..She thought she was too flirtatious with Ray and her bad review of his last restaurant, THE RED STAR is what made him have to close down and nearly put him in Bankruptcy.." he spat...

"You can go Mr. Thomas..If we have anymore questions..We'll call you...An Officer downstairs will take you where you need to go." said Monica..

He smiled and looked at her...

"If you don't mind me askin...Are you two uh ...TOGETHER?" he asked..

''We are married?" I said.

I can tell...Your body language...Dead give away...I didn't know they let partners get married...Shows what I know huh?" He said and got up and walked out..

Monica looked at me...

"Is it that obvious that we're together?" she asked..

"I guess so.."I shrugged.

II-
We had another visitor to our interrogation room...FBI Special Agent Ed Lawlor walked in...He did not look happy....

I sat back in my chair...

"Agent Lawlor...I heard the water was nice!" I said and smiled..

He looked at me like he wanted to strangle me...

Monica covered her mouth to keep from revealing that she was laughing...

He looked sad when he looked at her...obviously laughing at his plight...

"When did you discover the wire?" he asked.

"Shortly after we returned and we had a conversation with our Lieutenant..."said Monica.

"You know I was nearly killed because of your little stunt...It is taking all the will power in me to keep from bringing your husband up on charges.." he said.

"And what would those charges be? I never once directed you to do or go anywhere, I believe I was having a private conversation with my wife and sister in law and I said I was going out there to search..I can say that I had no idea you were listening to my conversation..You can't prove otherwise."I said.

He looked frustrated...He knew that I had him dead to rights...

"How would your Lieutenant feel if he knew you were still investigating a murder he ordered you off of?" he said.

"See that's the thing...He never ordered us off of anything...He never reamed us out..All that was for your benefit...We knew you were listening..All he did was tell us that you called and to stay out of your way as much as possible...Which we have.."I said.

"You played yourself Eddie...Trying to be the Monday Afternoon Cowboy and ride off into the sunset as the big hero.....Like you always do....That's why you and I always butted heads when we worked that kidnapping case...You haven't changed at all..But I have....I choose to work with someone who compliments me,rather than tries to out do me.." said Monica.

"I see I need to have another long talk with your Lieutenant." he said angrilly.

"I'm sure he'll want to know why you bugged his precinct without him knowing and without warrants and why you placed GPS trackers on two of his detectives cars and took their murder suspect off of them so that you could have the big arrest huh? Go ahead...He'll be in soon. He loves to hear stuff like that" I said.

"Why are you doing this Eddie? To hurt me because we aren't together?   You already hurt me years ago....before I ever laid eyes on Nate....Not much more you can do to me now...I'm in love....I am...With Nate...So you go talk to Lt. Cotton as much and as long as you want...I guaruntee you ,one..nothing will happen to either one of us and two it won't change a thing between me and you...That ship has sailed." she said.

He looked like he was about to explode....He stomped his foot angrilly and stormed out....

I looked at Monica...

"Hmmm that went rather well didn't it?" I said.

She laughed and took my face into her hands and deep throat kissed me.....

"Ummmm and to think I almost fell in love with him once..."she said..

"I'm glad you didn't stay in love with him."I said in between more soft kisses..

"Me too...Then I would have never of met and fell in love with you." she said continuing to kiss me passionately....

Agent Lawlor was about to come back when he saw us kissing passionately like two teenagers in the interrogation room..., He was really furious...He stormed out of the door and slammed it so hard the glass broke...We barely noticed.

This was the second time this had happened...First time in months...

Detective Kylie White walked by....

"Damn..Who pissed in his corn flakes this morning?" she said.

"Lou is not going to be happy..."laughed Monica.

"No he's not!..I'm so glad it wasn't Wally...."said Kylie.

"No..I imagine Wally is too happy now of days to be slamming doors. I saw him coming to work a few days ago whistling."laughed Monica.
"He's been known to go to sleep with a smile on his face...."laughed Kylie.

III-
Corrie Penzo was the shapely and very attractive wife of Ray Penzo....We had been looking to interview her for the past few days....

We finally caught up with her at The Shark Bar...It was an hour before the bar was scheduled to open for the day...

Unlike her husband Ray, She was not very personable...

"So what is this about Detectives?" she asked.

"Oh I think you know....Anjelica Dallas.." I said.

She smiled.

''She's dead..What about her?"she said.

"You didn't like her very much." I said.

"I don't like a lot of people...I don't particularly like either of you, but that doesn't make me a murderer does it?" she said.  "You two detectives have been by here what? Four or five times and one time  you had a brouhaha in the restroom and pulled out guns....That's bad for business...We just opened we are trying to get started."she said.

"We won't have to come back after today...I promise you..."said Monica.

''What do you want?"she asked.

"Veronika Stabler..Did you know her?" asked Monica.

"I don't believe I do." she said.

"Oh I think you do...Her phone number is in your smartphone....And we have her on video coming here Friday with a package...A package that contained Vodka...The bottle that you gave Anjelica Dallas."said Monica.

"Okay I know her...I'm responsible for her death too?" she asked.

"Oh No..We have the man in custody who killed her...Her boyfriend...Slobovan...You knew him too...You made three calls to him and her about two weeks before the murder of Anjelica Dallas..You knew that he was a gangster and that he trafficked the type of toxin you needed for a nice quiet death that maybe..No one would suspect if the body laid around long enough...He has told us that you said as much when you talked to him on the phone...He said that he suggested that you have someone else actually purchase it...Someone with no ties to Ms. Dallas,so that it wouldn't lead back to you" said Monica.

"Oh really?" said Corrie Dallas...She was as cool as a cucumber..

"She ordered that toxin for you, to keep your name out of it...You didn't expect it to even be discovered....She delivered that Vodka to Rico....Only he didn't know what was in the Vodka...He delivered it to Anjelica on orders from YOU...He'll testify to that." I said.

"Cute story...but that's all you got is a story and circumstantial evidence at best....Who will take the word of a convicted Drug dealer?? You got nothin else..."she said.

"We have motive and  opportunity...that's all we need to make an arrest...The rest is up to you and your lawyers."said Monica.. Who then stared at Corrie.. "But I think YOU WANT TO TELL SOMEBODY THAT YOU TOOK HER OUT DON'T YOU?" said Monica, looking her dead in the eyes..

"Corrie...WHAT DID YOU DO?" asked her husband Ray ...who had just joined us...

"I DID IT FOR YOU RAY!!!  OKAY?? I DID IT FOR YOU RAY!!!  That bitch nearly ruined us with her reviews....Then having the nerve to sit up in here and eat for free....I wasn't going to let her put us in the poor house...I WAS SICK OF HER!!!....I KNEW YOU DIDN'T HAVE THE GUTS TO DO IT!!!....SOMEBODY HAD TO TAKE HER OUT!!!" she spat....

"Stand up Mrs. Penzo..."I said and motioned for one of the three uniformed police officers who came with us..."You're under arrest for the murder of Anjelica Dallas, you have the right to remain silent...Anything you say can and will be held against you..You have a right to an attorney...If you can not afford an attorney, one will be gotten for you...Do you understand these rights as I've explained them to you?" I said.

She looked at me like I was crazy...

"I understand them." she said as the officers walked her out..

"Another one down partner..." said Monica..

"Yupper. Nice bluff....You'd of made a great poker player." I said.

Monica laughed..

"I knew she wanted to tell somebody...I could feel it." she said.

I went to kiss her...as we usually did after we closed a case,but she eased out of my embrace...

"Can we take a raincheck on the kiss?  I uh don't feel it would be right here...The man just lost his wife."said Monica.

"Yeah, you're right." I said.


She smiled at me..."Raincheck?" she said.



"Sure.."I answered.

FBI Agent Ed Lawlor stood outside and watched as Monica and I brought Mrs. Penzo
out with two police officers...

Monica said to me...

"Excuse me bae." and walked over to him...

"Thank you Eddie for letting us interview Slobo at the federal lock up..." she said.

"I did it for you Mo-Mo...Just know that...It was only for you, not your uh husband."he said...

"I know...Thank you..."she said.

"You really in love with that guy? Nellis...??" he asked.

"I am...Very much..." she said softly....

He stomped his foot in anger and walked away....He didn't say goodbye.....

I walked over to her and put my arms around her...

"You alright?" I asked..

She kissed me slowly and softly....and then hugged me....

"Yes bae...I am.... but he's not....." she said.

IV-

It was Monday afternoon and we had cracked our case in under 72 hours ,which while not a record either way...Wasn't bad...

When we returned...my ex-partner, Wally Becker was sitting in Detective Kylie White's chair..She was sitting in his lap kissing him softly...

"Okay Wally, people are coming back...You better get back to work baby.." she said...

"Yeah you right..Could uh you get up and uh let me calm myself down before I walk out?" he said grinning sheepishly...

"Oh sure.." she said smiling sheepishly......


Monica and I walked in at that moment...

"Hey guys...Heard your case is down....It was the owners wife huh??...Real Lady Macbeth stuff huh?"said Kylie..

"Exactly!!!....She was trying to protect her husband's business...I could almost empathize with her."said Monica.

"Uh Oh...Becks...You better go down the back hall....Here comes Lou..."I said.

Lieutenant Cotton was walking back with my Sister in Law..As usual when he was with her...He was in a great mood..Until he saw the broken glass lying on the side of the hallway...

 "WHO BROKE MY DOOR?? WHO IN THE HELL BROKE MY DOOR?? DON'T EVERYONE ANSWER AT ONCE!! WHO THE HELL BROKE MY DOOR??" he bellowed.
"Frankie calm down bae."said Monique softly...but this time ,he ignored her...

 "WHO BROKE MY DOOR??  WHO THE HELL BROKE MY DOOR??" he bellowed.

Kylie smiled sheepishly...

Detective Becker smiled..

"It wasn't me Lieutenant...It was like that when I got up here.." he said.

"That's true sir..It was like that when I came in this morning."said Kylie..

 "It was FBI Special Agent Lawlor...He was a little upset this morning when he came up here."said Monica.

"UPSET???  UPSET?? HE DOESNT KNOW WHAT UPSET MEANS JUST YET!!!WHAT WAS HE UP HERE FOR IN THE FIRST PLACE????  GET ME THE FBI!!" screamed Lieutenant Cotton...

A young uniformed officer began dialing...

"I've got em on the phone now sir.." he said.

"Thank you...IS THIS THE FBI???...YOUR AGENT CAME UP HERE AND BROKE THE GLASS IN MY GOTDAMN DOOR!!!!" he screamed on the phone...

"YEAH IT WAS LAWLOR!!! I DON'T GIVE A MERRY DAMN WHAT HE WAS UPSET ABOUT!!! IF HE DIDN'T WANT TO SEE THAT HE SHOULDN'T HAVE COME UP HERE!  WHO IS GOING TO PAY FOR THE GLASS IN MY DOOR??"
screamed Lieutenant Cotton...
Ahhhh, It was Monday...but it felt like a Thursday...

EPILOUGE-

 Ray Penzo got his wife a good lawyer and she was convicted of 2nd Degree Murder in the death of Anjelica Dallas and sentenced to 15-30 years...It was actually a well planned pre-meditated murder one...She was very lucky....She deserved the death penalty for what she did..But at least she was off the streets as well as the man who trafficked that deadly stuff...
Later on that night...Monica sat on my lap in our bed....We had been kissing like it was going out of style...

"Nice raincheck.."I said...Monica giggled...

"Lou was really mad about that door...The government ponied up and paid for it and they made Eddie write a written apology..." said Monica.

"Serves him right,...But you know...It's nice to have a friend in the FBI...It can come in handy...We've definitely burned our bridges with him..." I said.

"Well, he's going back to Boston...I heard....We still have a chance to make friends with someone else..Considering that they didn't care for him that much...We might have more friends than we can shake a finger at." she laughed...

I eyed her breasts...

"And speaking of friends...I see two things I'd like to be friends with right now.."I said smiling..

"You are so nasty.." she said laughing...

I slipped her panties down and off and gently turned her over and slowly entered her....

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Nate....ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.." she moaned...

"I'm getting my raincheck on that kiss."I laughed...

We kissed....

"You're getting more than a raincheck on the kiss."laughed Monica...

Soon the bed was squeaking and the headboard was softly slamming against the wall..We were making sweet love...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, goood lord...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Nate." screamed
Monica....

The bed was rocking from side to side....the springs were squeaking and the headboard was slamming up against the wall...once again..

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my godddd..This is what I was waiting for..." I yelled out....

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu ,Ohhhh Nate..I was wondering for a minute..ouuuuuuuu..." she moaned...in between wet, sloppy kisses..

"OHHHHHHHHHHH....You ..you are driving me out of my mind..." I howled as we showed no sign of stopping..We had been making sweet love for over three hours...

Monica laughed and pulled me to her, kissing me more passionately than before..I felt like I was going to explode right then and there!

A half hour passed by and finally, Monica began to sweat profusely and tears just came streaming from her eyes...

''Oh My God Nate...Ouuuuuuuuuuuu." she moaned..

I was moaning myself and cumming so hard..I thought I was dying...

Monica wrapped her arms around me and leaned her head into my chest...

Perfect way to end a Monday...
