Smoldering

We sat around our desks drinking coffee...That stereotype about squadroom coffee tasting bad is just that a cliche' We have a Kureig...

Detective Kylie White sat at the table and said to us...

"This is the damndest case.....I wish it would go away already...." she said.

"Girl you aint never lied...Nate and I have turned this city upside down..interviewing victims, business associates, his estranged wife...his manager...family members...for one thing..nobody had a good word to say about either one of them and I think if somebody does know who killed them and torched their place..They wouldn't tell us."said Monica.

"Everybody is relieved not to have to pay any money to Billy Wong or to have an unpleasent meeting with Mr. Pink..." I said.

"Yeahhh,I was over vice yesterday and they all clapped when they heard that both of them were murdered..."said Kylie..

"That's because they had been trying to put a tag on those two for years and couldn't get anything on them..Nobody was willing to come forth and testify.."I said.

"You know why! Mr. Pink...His brutal enforcer ,who stopped just short of killing somebody...That's why..Whoever took Billy Wong out...Took Mr. Pink out first...So that Wong was alone and vulnerable.."said Monica.

"Well..I was over Arson yesterday....There is a detective over there who used to like me...He still likes me...He told me that the excellerent used in the fire was all inside stuff....The Arsonist turned on the ovens and then poured gasoline all over the floor and lit a simple cigarette lighter....The place went up and exploded in minutes..."said Kylie..

"That means the Arsonist was inside already...Had to be someone who worked there....."said Monica..

"That's what I thought ...After he told me that! I interviewed the entire Wait staff and all of the cooks... The place was closed ..they were all home...I checked em all thoroughly...They all alibied out.."said Kylie..

"Good , you saved Mo-Mo and I some legwork...We were going to do that today...Let us see your files?"I asked.
"Sure...They're over there on the table.."said Kylie..

"Our Killer couldn't have gotten far...We scrubbed Traffic Cams for a 15 block radius and we didn't find any car racing away....That time of morning..We didn't find anything at all."said Monica..

"No we didn't...Same thing at both Wong and Mr. Pink's murder sites...No tire tracks, no nothing...Unless!!! Unless our killer was on foot in which our killer never went far...Our killer could have been right there amongst us...hiding in plain sight."I said.

"Let's look over that footage again.."said Monica..

"Hey How is your Sister and Lieutenant Cotton doing with our little wager?" asked Kylie..

"You know I don't know....I haven't seen or talked to my sister in two days...Lt. Cotton either...I've seen him in passing...Poor thing...He loves my sister so much...This is killing him, I know.."said Monica.

Just then , a uniformed officer walked into the squad room...

"Detective White...There is someone here to see you." he said...

 "Oh who could this be?  Excuse me guys...I'll be back.." said Detective Kylie White...

Kylie walked out into the squadroom, only to see Detective Tony Malone, the Arson Detective she was telling Monica and me about who had a thing for her...

He smiled when he saw her...

Kylie smiled shyly....

"Hey Tony, what's up?" she asked....

"Kylie...Damn girl..."he said....

He was staring at her bra, which was slightly showing through her blouse..

Kylie smiled shyly and buttoned her blouse a little..

"So what brings you by ?" asked Kylie...

"Uh, er yeah...This...We gave the uh restaurant another look yesterday....Billy Wong's joint...As I told you...the arsonist turned all of the ovens on and poured gasoline all over the floor and then used a simple cigarette lighter to ignite the place...and they exited out the back...We know that because they set off the electronic alarm.....Well we found this...outside the charred remains of the joint.."he said and handed her a plastic bag....It had a slightly burned cigarette lighter in it...

"What is this?" asked Kylie, smiling...

"It's a cigarette lighter...It was the only thing intact at that joint...The whole place burned to the ground...and all we found was this.. It's got a slight fingerprint smudge on it..It aint much I know, but it's somethin..."he said.

"It could be a lot...It's more than we've been able to turn up....THANK YOU TONY!" said Kylie..who kissed him on the cheek...He spun her around and kissed her in the lips...The kiss lasted a little longer than Kylie would have liked..but she had to admit..His lips were soft and the man knew how to kiss a woman...She smiled and blushed....and slowly eased out of his embrace...


"Tony....we can't do that...I told you I'm seeing somebody...He works in this building..Special Victims Unit..I'm sorry." said Kylie..

He smiled shyly...

"I'm sorry Kylie...but if you're ever free...Look me up....I'll clear my damn desk for you..." he said...


"I'll remember that..Thanks again Tony.."said Kylie...She suddenly felt very sexy, very beautiful...

As Monica and I sat there going over witness statements...A strange thought came in my mind....

Monica perked up...

"What is it bae?" she asked...

"We gotta go back to that Bathhouse..Something just occurred to me..."I said.

"Hey guys...guess what I got?" said Kylie...  She showed us the cigarette lighter..... "Arson found it in the ruins of the restaurant fire...It's got a slight fingerprint smudge on it..This could blow the case open..."said Kylie.
"See if you can get a print from that....I'm going with bae....I-I-I mean Nate."said Monica..who caught herself...She was making an effort to sound more professional on the job...And to refer to me as Detective or partner, rather than Bae...or Honey Bunny...her pet names for me...And she implored me to call her Detective or partner and not Mo-Mo.

"Girl...You need to stop...I know what you mean...You and Nate go on....I'll see if I can get something good out of this.."said Kylie...laughing......

"Gurllllllllll, look at you..Blushing and cheesing.....Uhhh huhhhh..What's going on at Arson?? Something is smoldering down there and it isn't just fire." joked Monica..

"Uh Uhhh..I didn't do nothin..." said Kylie...

''We'll talk.."said Monica,laughing.




II-

Monica and I were back at the Century Bath House, where our first victim, Mr. Pink's body was found...







We were talking to the manager...

"Mr. Uh er Pink rented this place out every Wednesday Morning...He had it from 7:30 until 2:00." he said.

"And it was just him in here..No one else?" asked Monica..

"Well uh, the black guy...The tall Black guy who was his driver brought him here and then he would come back and pick him up at two." said the Manager..

"I see that he got in with an access card...Was he the only one with an access card? "I asked.

"Yes..He used it to come in and to leave...All club members have one.." said the manager..

"Well I remember looking at the log in.... on the day of his death...He let himself in at 9:50 am. that morning."I said.

"Yes...He was late..He usually came in early..." said the manager..

"And he was the only one here?" I asked.

"Yes...the only one...No one else was here...What are you getting at?" he asked.

"I cross checked all the days he came here and there are only two entries..When he comes in and when he leaves...but on the day he died..He enters at 9:50 am...."I said.

"Yes..I told you that..."said the manager...

"So how can he enter again at 10:12 am ,if he never left?" I asked.

The manager looked confused..He looked at the log...

"Hmmm, that does look odd....And there is a last entry at 10:22 am." he said.

"Yes..Same card..."I said.

The manager looked at us...

"That was your murder right there...Somebody took his card and came back in, killed him and let themselves out.." he said.

"They disabled the camera, so it wouldn't show them leaving..."said Monica.

"But our back up camera is digital....It picked them up coming in..." said the manager..

"Let us see the footage...We never thought about that.." said Monica..

"I'll get the key and show you the footage." said the manager who left the room..

Monica smiled at me...

"And this is why I wanted you to be my partner...Your analytical skills...your mind Nate...I recognized that in your case work...I knew you'd push me, challenge me..."said Monica, looking at me like a proud mother, whose child has done something wonderful..

"And make sweet love to you.."I added, laughing..

"That uh was a nice bonus..."she added as I pulled her to me and kissed her slowly,softly,passionately..

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, okay partner...We've got to slow our roll..That guy will be back soon.."said Monica, smiling and easing out of my embrace...

III-

Lt. Cotton opened the door of the hotel room...

Monique walked in giggling...

"Frankie..We aren't supposed to be doing this until after we get married..." she laughed.

"After we get married we are going to be doing it more....I was distracted all day today in all those meetings I had to go to..All I was doing was thinking about you..." he said.

"Awwwwwwww...I was thinking about you too...I think I've fooled my sister and Nate and Kylie...They haven't seen me in a few days and of course they've seen you in the office...They don't hear our bed squeaking at night, since you haven't been around..I think they think we are still honoring the bet."laughed Monique...

"Enough talk..." whispered Lt. Cotton who unzippered her dress and took it off..He unhooked her bra and folded the dress and bra with the greatest of care...

Monique untied his tie, slowly took his suit jacket and shirt off and unzippered his trousers.....

He slipped her panties down and pulled her toward him and they stood in the middle of the floor and kissed each other passionately for about twenty minutes....

She rubbed her soft fingers across his lips...He felt himself getting harder and more erect than before...

She softly stroked it..

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Frankie...."she cooed..

"Sugar Baby...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.." he found himself moaning slowly....

He picked her up and gently laid her across the bed....

He entered her body slowly, softly....almost tenderly as he began to move in and out of her...She was as soft as could be...and very, very wet....He found his mouth opening wide, but no sound coming out of his mouth...

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Frankie....Lawddddddddddddd!" she moaned....

The bed began to move up and down and squeak heavily as they began making sweet love..No quickie in the office...He was taking his time....

Six hours of it...Six hours of sweet ,slow tender lovemaking ....Monique was having an intense orgasm..like none she'd had in awhile...Tears just streamed down her face....and her body shook....She kissed Frankie like he'd never been kissed before and he came like a river...shaking so hard, pictures fell off the wall...

They lay in each others arms.....



"Frankie that was amazing..."said Monique as she nestled her head in his arms...She was still shaking a little bit...

"Damnnnnnnnnnn baby" was all he could say.....



They slept for two hours and then Monique and Lt.Cotton showered and dressed...

He watched her as she sat in the mirror, fixing her hair and applying make up and lipstick...

"Nate and your sister are going to wonder where you are...or rather ,where you've been."said Lt.Cotton softly...

"They might be sleeping when I get home or making love...I might get past them." said Monique who kissed Lt. Cotton one last time...

"Mmmmmmm Frankie that was amazing..." she said..

"Aren't I always amazing?" he asked with a devilish smile that made her moist....


"You areeee..."she said as he grabbed her  and ran his hands up her skirt...For once she didn't try to stop him, She allowed him to have his fun...They continued to kiss in the doorway for a few minutes...

"Frankie..I've got to go..."she whispered softly...


"I know baby."he said as he reluctantly let her go....He watched her as she walked down the hall...

IV-

 TWO HOURS LATER-



"This is it...Open it up..." I said to the Parking Garage Manager...

He opened it up and Monica and Kylie looked inside..

"This is it ,There is a huge blood stain in here..Oh My God...It's a wonder we found this...It was parked all the way in the back...We might have never of found it.."said Monica..

"This is Billy Wong's personal car.......A Mercedez-Benz Hybrid...WOW!!! What money can buy you." said Kylie...

"He was killed in this car and taken to the spot we found him in....We lucked out catching this car leaving the scene on that ATM cam from across the street and then on the traffic cam."I said.

"And if the camera from here matches the driver we saw on the digital cam at the bathhouse..We have our killer..."said Monica..

"Looks like we won the bet...Wait til we tell your sister..."said Kylie..

"Tell me what?" said Monique as she walked up on us....

"Heyyy sis...Haven't seen you in a few days....Got good news for you...Looks like you girls won the bet...Our killer looks like it's a male....So you and uh Lt. Cotton can uh end your stand off..."I laughed..

"I know he'll be happy."laughed Kylie..

Monica eyed her sister strangely, but didn't say a word....Monique looked at her....

But Monica just nodded her head and said-

"Nate and I got a digitalized photo of the last person to drive and enter the bath house with Mr. Pink and then we caught a break...We saw this car leaving the murder scene of Billy Wong....It's Billy Wong's car...We traced it to here...It's got a blood stain in the trunk...We are hoping your people can get blood and DNA from this..." she said.

"And we are waiting for a photo from the camera  in this lot...If it's the same driver we copped from the bathhouse...We have our killer of both Pink and Wong..."I said.

"I have a cigarette lighter found at the burned out restaurant with a latent fingerprint on it...I'm checking that out right now.."said Kylie..

"Wow, you three have been very busy..."said Monique..

"So have you missy....You missed our lunch date today..."said Kylie..

"I'm so sorry Kylie...Uh something came up."said Monique...She expected her sister to say something smart....but when she looked...

Monica was talking to uniformed officers and C.S.I. officials, who were snapping photos, dusting the car down for prints and looking for DNA...

She knew her sister had scanned her mind and knew that she and Frankie had given in and had sex not once, but twice since the wager...Yet she didn't give it away and she could have...She loved Monica..more than she would ever know..
The manager brought me back a photo...I showed it to Monica and Kylie...

"Damn...I was hoping it wasn't him...This explains why he was in the crowd outside the restaurant fire..He didn't have time to get away without being seen after he accidentally tripped the Alarm...The Fire Department was only two blocks away.....Which explains why the blaze was so bad in such a short period of time..." I said hanging my head..
"You want me to pick him up Nate?" asked Kylie..

"You'd love that wouldn't you Kylie..?" I laughed..

"You know me too well Detective!" laughed Kylie..

"Mo-Mo..I know you know..."said Monique..

"I do....Was it nice?" she asked.

"Oh My God..We had the most wonderful night...You're not going to tell the others?" she said..

"Nope!  You're my sister...You're in love...You shouldn't have made that stupid wager in the first place..And for the record...Nate was on your side...He didn't want the Lieutenant to call him whipped..But you and I know he is the most whipped man in the world..."laughed Monica.

"Maybe not...Frankie may have him beat....He just doesn't show it the way Brother in law does..But it's okay...I know he loves me and I know Brother in law loves the ground you walk on sister."said Monique who kissed Monica softly.."Love you sis." she said.

"Love you too hooker." said Monica and they both laughed....
"Come onnnn, yall know yall aint supposed to do that unless I'm around." I joked..

"Oh hush up...and come here..."said Monique ,who kissed me softly...."Love you brother in law...Keep making my sister happy.." she said..

"I will do the best I can." I said..

Monica hugged me...

"You always have...since the day we met...." she said.
"Let's get out of here...this heat is smoldering...It's messing up my hair.."



said Kylie as we left the parking garage..
