Counting Your Blessings

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 out of your lives.. You try to get cute and you lose your lives..." came the voice.

"Hey Man..We don't know no Diego Ryder.." I said..

"Now see, that's where you two knuckleheads goofed up...Lyin to me..." came the voice... I guess he was going to pistol whip me...but at any rate ...He got too close...I elbowed him in his jaw so hard..his head snapped back and he dropped his gun...

''Argggggggggggggh.." he moaned..

Kool Kat grabbed him and turned his shooting arm away...and punched him in his gut...

'Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww..." he moaned...

The guy across the street cocked his gun and took aim...

"BIG MAN GET DOWN" I yelled..

Kool Kat ducked...

The man across the street fired three shots and unfortunately they hit and killed the gunman behind us we had been struggling with...

I crouched and fired two shots....both hit the gunman across the street..one in his gut and one in his side...

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW LAWDDDDDDDDDD...I DON'T BELIEVE IT...I'VE BEEN SHOT!" he moaned in agony as he dropped his gun and stumbled off , bleeding profusely...He got in a car and pulled off..

I stared at the dead man....I recognized him....It Was Charles "Charlie Gasoline" Gass, Lou Draca's main man....

''Kools, this is Draca's main man...Charlie Gass." I said.

"So now Draca's got a bullseye on our backs...That damn Diego...Maybe we shoulda gave him up.."said Kool Kat.

II-

"I knew you were in trouble the minute you told me that story earlier today." said Sissy as uniformed policemen cordoned off the area...A small crowd had gathered outside Josie's...

Dr. Hazel  Baylor shook her head...

"Three gunshot wounds ...Two in the back and one in the back of the head.." she said..

 ''We've been lookin at this guy for a long time eh Rico?" said Detective Carlotta Rodriguez-Wallace..

 ''Sure Have...Ever since you and I were in Robbery-Homicide...We liked him for two murders...but no witnessess would come forth..."said Detective Tyriq Pile..

"Me too...I had him cold for a murder in Fishtown a year ago...All three of my witnesses recanted their original statements..." said Detective Jimmy Barlow...

"Hop and I found what I believe is the murder weapon..." said Detective Sirena Pile..A uniform officer put the weapon in a plastic zip lock bag and marked it evidence..

"Damn sure is a lot of blood over here and it leads down the street..."said Hop..

''Tire tracks...Our shooter got in a car." said Detective Angie Belton..

"I shot him at least twice... He's hurt bad..." I said.

"He's our shooter whether he was aiming at Glass or not..He killed him.....He's probably on the street cam and the ATM cam over there...We'll ID him..We got enough DNA and we got his weapon."said Detective Duke Baylor..

"Go Pick up Lou Draca...Suspicion of murder...and conspiracy.." said Sissy...

"Boss Lady, no disrespect, but we don't have much if anything yet to prove that..." said Carlotta..

"I know, but it will cool his heels for tonight..Slow him down." said Sissy...

I unloaded my pistol and passed it to Sissy..

''What are you giving me your gun for?" she asked..

"I just told you I shot the other guy..." I said.

"I know you did...If I need it...I trust you'll produce it for me...Go home Kevin, Kiss your wife and your baby...We got this.." said Sissy..

"Release the body.." said Detective Sirena Pile to Hazel..

Hazel nodded..

The body of suspected killer and number two man in Lou Draca's crew...Charlie Gasoline Gass was loaded into the M.E.'s wagon....

Lou Draca was arrested in his boxers at one of his girlfriend's houses that night in South Philadelphia...and his other henchman...Lloyd  Wilson, the guy I shot was found just blocks away...near death in his car,which had crashed...He had lost an alarming amount of blood and had to be rushed to the hospital right away...

III-

Kool Kat laughed as he drove me to my door..

''What's so funny?" I asked..We had had a hell of a night..

"In two nights..we did what Diego and others couldn't do...We put Lou Draca out of business...Two of his crew members are in jail...One is in the hospital....His number two is in the morgue and to top it off..He's in jail..."laughed Kool Kat...

''Yeah, but he aint gonna be in jail forever....They can't hold him on those weak charges...and when he gets out of jail he's going to be hoppin mad...Let's concentrate on finding that girl and getting that merch ,so we can bargain for Diego's life maybe.."I said.

"Yeah,since we obviously can't walk away from this now." said Kool Kat..."Good Night Kev" he said. "Tell bad girl I tried to get you home at a decent hour." he laughed.

"Yeah..I'll do that." I said, laughing..

"Me and You...We always seem to cheat the Grimm Reaper..How many times is our luck gonna hold up?" asked Kool Kat...

"It's not luck Kools...I tend to think of it as a blessing...We do good work..We help people who have no where else to go..And we are blessed and allowed to continue."I said.

"We better count them blessings buddy.."said Kool Kat.

"I always Count my blessings Big Man." I said.

III-

"I almost thought I was going to have to go on and go to sleep...." said Sepia as I walked into our bedroom...

"That was almost the case...but thank goodness it wasn't...I've had a hell of a night." I said..

''Aww want to tell mommy about it?" cooed Sepia.

"In the morning...but right now...where were we?" I said, kissing Sepia passionately...

''Mmmmmmmmmmmmm before life interrupted us right?" laughed Sepia..

 "Interesting way to put it.." I smiled..

"I did used to be a blogger." she reminded me...

"Yes...You did have a way with turning a phrase"I said..

 Sepia wrapped her arms around me as I lifted her up, slipped her panties down and entered her very slowly...As usual, she was warm and wet and soft as cotton...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu girl..." I moaned..


"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Kevin...Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..my goodness" she moaned..


We stood there for thirty minutes ,kissing and softly thrusting...Sepia was sweating profusely and crying like a little girl...


"Oh My God...Kevin..Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu it's sooo good..I love you sooo much bae..." she was saying...



Soon we were in bed ,looking into each other's eyes...



Five hours seemed to evaporate...I couldn't get enough of her...And the more I thought about the way she looked tonight in this new lingerie she was wearing, the more excited I got...The more excited I got, the louder I made Sepia  moan.

Our bed was squeaking like crazy and as usual, our headboard was slamming against the wall hard....


  Sepia began to shake and breathe heavy.. She was cumming intensely... and before I even realized it, so was I.....

We lie in each others arms , Smiling ........


She gave me a nice sloppy, wet kiss....I pulled her to me and kissed her too..She felt my still very hard and engorged penis...Her mouth opened wide..

"Ouuuuuuu...I think somebody wants some morrrrre ..ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."she laughed as we continued kissing and I mounted her once again...

"Oh My goodness!!!!......Ohhh Kevin, ohhh baby....Ouuuuuuuuuuuu.." she replied smiling and slowly kissing me as I entered her again...She was so warm,so moist...so inviting..

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Kevin...ohhhh my goddd!..Ouuuuuuuu..." she cried out...as our bed began to squeak....The headboard slammed against the wall....She stared at me almost in disbelief.....

Another three hours of sweet and tender lovemaking continued....We were both going to be very tired tomorrow at work...but neither of us cared at the moment...Sepia had to go to her office and I was planning to go to mine..I hadn't been in in two days...

She began to blow softly in my ear ,in between soft , wet kisses..which turned me on even more...and within twenty minutes... I exploded like a gusher ...Holding her tightly....Her body shook a little too..Tears ran down the side of her face..her body began shaking and her head turned from side to side...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...myyy goodnessss.." she exclaimed...still shaking like a church woman testifying......

We continued to hold each other for a few minutes....

 "So what happened tonight?" She asked me..

'Well I learned that the girl I've been searching for is not who she said she was..She's actually the sister of some gangster...A gangster who has been turning this city upside down trying to find Diego..and it looks like his sister too..Diego robbed a wiseguy five years ago of five million dollars worth of jewels..And this little snot is trying to make a name for himself by finding the jewelry ,killing Diego and possible his sister ,who stole the jewels from Diego..As I told you ..The night before we were met by two of this guys henchmen..They're in jail...Tonight we were met outside of Josies by his number two and another guy...They threatened to kill me and Walter if we didn't tell them where Diego is." I said.

''What happened??asked Sepia..

"Well Long story short...His number two man is dead and his other henchman is in the hospital near death...and he is himself in jail tonight..." I said.

''So what are you going to do now?"asked Sepia..

"You" I said.


She smiled....


"Ohhh  Myyy" she said, smiling..

"You still want some more?" she laughed as I climbed on top of her again and entered her slowly...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.." she moaned...

"Oh yeah and find that girl..." I said..
