A Sibling Rivalry

The two men who shot at Kool Kat and I foolishly went to a hospital because of the severity of their wounds...Because they had been shot..The Hospital had to inform the police who came and promptly arrested the two goons..


They found weapons in their car and the tools of the heist man's trade...Both men had outstanding warrants on them to boot...It was pretty clear that neither of them was the sharpest tool in the shed..


Diego was safe for the time being...Where he wouldn't be discovered by Lou Draca and whoever he had looking for him...


Meanwhile...The girl, Roxanne Perry was another matter...Where was she?, and did she still have the five million dollars worth of diamonds that were stolen????..

Kool  Kat and I spent the next day talking to all of the known fences...None of them had received the merch, but all of them were aware of it..


"Man..Yeah we seen that girl...but aint nobody gonna touch that Merch...Lou Draca has been turnin the city upside down lookin for her and her boyfriend...Some Puerto Rican guy named Diego...Nobody wants any trouble out of him.." we were told by more than one Fence...

"Take a break Kools... I need to look into this deeper...I'll give you a call when I turn up something."I said as he drove me home...

"Thanks Kev...I want you to know I appreciate this...I had no idea this was going to be this deep or involved..." said Kool Kat.

''Relax ..You been in some deep stuff with me before..Lots of times big man..."I said and smiled.

"True..but at least I went in with my eyes open...We kind of got blindsided..I didn't expect no gunplay...and certainly no gangsters.." said Kool Kat."

"Me neither.." I said laughing as I walked inside and watched him drive off..


II-

My wife, Sepia walked up behind me and put her arms around me...


"Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm, nice to have you home again..." she said.


I had been running these streets with Walter for two days straight...She didn't know the half of it..

"Nice to be home again.." I said and took her in my arms and kissed her passionately..

"Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, where is the baby?" I asked..

"It's almost midnight...She's asleep...silly.." said Sepia...

I kissed Sepia some more and ran my hands up her dress..rubbing her soft and smooth legs..
.
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..you're soo nasty,but it feels sooo good baby!" she moaned..

I slowly unbuckled her bra...

I pulled Sepia to me...I was certain she could feel my erection in my pants...I slipped her sundress over her head and off..I turned her to me and we kissed softly at first and then gradually more passionately...I had my hands in her panties.    

 "Ouuuu freshie...you do this too easily" she remarked and laughed...

 ''You like that I'm so crazy about you, don't you?" I said..

"I love it. You know that...I'm crazy about you too!" she said.
"Umm, good to know." I said...
"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...Let's take this upstairs to the bedroom Kevin..." She said and took my hand and led me to our bedroom, Where we took no time getting undressed and meeting in the middle of the floor to embrace and kiss passionately...

It wasn't long before we were making sweet love in our bedroom....Moaning ,groaning...and rattling the walls....Oblivious to the fact that the windows were open and we could be heard on the street outside...


I plunged deeper and deeper into Sepia's warm moist places...and she moaned..tossed pillows off of the bed.. and held me tighter, wrapping her legs around my back and following my every move...The headboard softly slammed against the wall...

We were both sweating profusely and listening to each other's breaths...

I took my time...Six hours passed by slowly as we continued making sweet love...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh baby..Ouuuuuu don't stop...give mommy some more...ouuuuu" said Sepia ....

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu girl." I moaned..

It began to rain outside...at first mildly, then heavily....and thunder roared throughout the sky....A nice cool wind blew through the window on our bodies as we continued to make love...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Kevin...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my lord! ouuuuuuuuuuu" she moaned...

"Ohhh girl, I'm goin crazy...."I said.

I could sense that Sepia was having one of several intense orgasms...as she smiled and then cried, tears and sweat rolling down her forehead.....

I came very intensely.....I felt like I was dying as I came hard....I was drenched with sweat afterwords...

 She was coming too and shaking and turning her head from side to side...


We held each other tightly afterwords...

''Wow!" said Sepia...

"Yeah, that was something..." I said...


We fell asleep in each others arms...


III-

The next morning...I kissed Sepia and our daughter as I ventured out again..


''Say goodbye to daddy baby."said Sepia...who kissed me again..

and whispered in my ear...


"If you liked last night...wait until tonight....I'm stopping by Victoria's Secret this afternoon." she said.

"Oh my god..." I said as she smiled and waived..

IV-

My first order of business was finding this Roxxanne Perry..


First things first...I could find no birth certificate anywhere in Philadelphia or in the States of Pennsylvania, New York, Deleware  or New Jersey that matched her race or age...

The Roxxanne Perry I found was born and died about six years ago...and she was Black...

This was right about the time that Diego and Kool Kat had been hanging out in Puerto Rico...and she showed up out of seemingly nowhere..

I couldn't find any school records anywhere under her name, No marriage licenses, No Divorce certificate, No drivers licenses ..Nothing...

It was obvious now that this was a phony name... So I paid a visit to my favorite cop...Lt. Sissy Van Buren...of the Criminal Investigation Division of the Philadelphia Police Department..

Sissy Smiled when she saw me..

"Kevin.. What is this you are bringing me..?" she said.

"Let's go in your office.." I said , and we went in her office and closed the door.

I usually brought her coffee...Today.. A bottle of wine.. Diego had given me and Kool Kat two bottles a piece....before we got him situated..

"I know you're working Siss, but you gotta try this..I said and poured her a glass.

Sissy took a sip of the wine and smiled..

"Oh myyyyy..this is good.. Smooth and a little sweet. I like.. This bottle is for me?" she asked..

"Yeah..." I said.

"But you didn't come to see me just to give me a bottle of wine." said Sissy.

"Nothin gets by you Siss..."I said and passed her a photo of Roxxanne Perry..

"She says her name is Roxxanne Perry, but that's not her name...I am being paid by a client to find her." I said.

"You want me to run a facial recognition on this..." said Sissy...

"Would you mind?" I asked.

"I don't mind at all, especially since you brought me such a great bottle of wine.." she said.


Sissy was gone for about a half an hour and when she returned...she had a frown on her face...


"Her name is Louise Draca...She's the sister of a very bad guy....Lou Draca...This guy has his hands in everything.. We suspect him of putting down a number of scores...He runs some gambling and book making operations and a little loan sharking..."said Sissy..

"I know who he is.. Junior Tony Soprano.. Not quite a made man yet.. What about her?" I asked.

"His younger sister...The Black sheep of the family...She's got three arrests for prostitution, three arrests for shoplifting...No convictions on those., no jail time for any of them...One arrest and conviction for possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance...She did a year in county jail and was released...This was all a decade ago.. Hasn't been in any trouble since then.." said Sissy.. She looked at me...

"Who is looking for her?" she asked.

"I can tell you because he isn't technically my client...but a guy named Diego ..He got a friend of mine to hire me to look for her.. They were quite close once in Puerto Rico and he is here looking for her..

Sissy looked at me..


"Wait right here.." she said.


She came back with a thick file and a mug sheet photo..

"That who you're working for Kevin? Diego Ryder??" asked Sissy.

"Not actually...He's a friend of a friend who is acting in his behalf.. I'm working for his friend...But since you got his file here, who is he really?" I asked.

"He's a Heist guy and a box man...About ten years ago.. He and a guy named Frankie Pardo were responsible for at least ten very high end jewel thefts in the area....They were professionals...Then they hit a guy named Joe Licavolli...Stole five million dollars worth of jewels ..which he probably had somebody steal for him.." said Sissy.

"Joe Licavolli...Made man...Mafiosi...??" I said.. While most of what Sissy was telling me ,I already knew.. Diego Ryder had never told me that "Old Joe" was Joseph Licavolli, the mobster....

"Yes...the one and only...and as you well know...Guys like that don't call the cops when they get robbed.. They uh have their own way of evening the score.." said Sissy.

"They killed his partner...Frankie Pardo..didn't they?" I said.

"We always thought so...We made a RICO case against Old Joe...put him and 39 of his associates behind bars for years on a number of charges...but they all swore up and down that they didn't kill Frankie Pardo..We never could prove it.. Anyway...Old Joe Licavolli died some years ago....and the Pardo case died with him.. Went cold."said Sissy.

"So what is Lou Draca's interest in this? He's not made..." I asked.

"Part of it may be greed.. He wants to get his hands on the five million dollars worth of merch..and he was pretty close to old man Licavolli...He gets that merch and takes care of the thieves and it puts him one step closer to being made." said Sissy..

"But it looks like his sister is responsible...Looks like she stole the merch off of Diego.. You think she was in on it? You think he fished her in?" I asked.

"I wouldn't know...They're siblings....If she was in on it...Why is he turning the city upside down trying to find both her and Diego?Looks to me like she went for herself on this one Kevin.. but who knows?" asked Sissy.

I was surprised Sissy knew as much as she did about the case...

"We caught two goons last night who got shot by somebody...Trying to find that same girl.. They said they were hired by a guy they knew only as Charlie.. I suspect that's this cool guy..."she said and showed me another mug shot..

It was of Charles "Charlie Gasoline" Gass...

"That's Lou Draca's lieutenant.. His number two... Charles "Charlie Gasoline" Gass... a stone cold killer...A suspect in at least three unsolved murders...You run into him in your travels Kevin?" asked Sissy.

"No and frankly, I don't want to...I think I've been sold a bill of goods.."I said.

"I thinks so too...If you're in business with Diego Ryder.. it's to be expected...We don't have any warrant out on him for anything...So a word of advice...Cut your losses with this one Kev...He's more trouble than he's worth."said Sissy.

"What about the girl?" I asked.

"No..We have no warrants out on her either...This little rowdy dow is strictly between the siblings until or unless somebody gets killed or hurt.. Then we are coming down on both of them hard." said Sissy.

I kissed Sissy on the forehead...

"Thanks Siss...It's always educational when I visit with you.." I said ,smiling..

"Yeah, most guys have said that about being with me.." she said and gave me a sly wink....


We both laughed and I left..


"Thanks for the wine Kevin." she said.

"Oh you're quite welcome...Tell the guys I said hello and I hope you and Eddie C. enjoy it." I said.

III-

That night ,I met Kool Kat in Josies...

I told Kool Kat all the information I had learned today....

"He left a lot out.....Look buddy...This is a big mess...We have no dog in this fight..This is Diego's mess..Let's walk away from this...We got nothing to prove."said Kool Kat..

"For once...I agree with you..." I said..


Just as we were walking outside of Josies..we heard the familiar click of a pistol...


"Alright gentlemen....Don't turn around, just keep walkin...keep walkin...Any sudden move and that guy across the street from you...He'll drop you where you stand..." came the voice.

"Hey man...Whatever you think we know...We don't..." said Kool Kat...

"All I want is Diego Ryder's whereabouts..You give me him and We are out of your lives.. You try to get cute and you lose your lives..." came the voice.

And all of a sudden, we knew we couldn't just walk away.
