Goin To Get My Money

It was a good thing our daughter, Kimberly was spending the night with our friend, Eva..

It wasn't long after they had left that we were making sweet love in that bedroom....

Moaning ,groaning...and rattling the walls....Oblivious to the fact that the windows were open and we could be heard...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh baby.." 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.


We hadn't bothered to get under the covers..We were on top of the bed and it moved with our body's movements...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...


"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Kevin, you are hitting mama's spots...ouuuuuuuuuuuuu my goodness boy stop showing off, stop showing off in this bed...ouuuuuuuuuuuu.."moaned Sepia..


"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh girlllll." I moaned..


"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh baby..Talk to me...Talk to me baby." said Sepia ....

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu girl." I moaned..

Two More Hours  of sweet, sweet lovemaking came and went......

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...

 "Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Kevin, you are hitting mama's spots...ouuuuuuuuuuuuu my goodness boy...Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.." she moaned and finally just collapsed....

We cuddled in each others arms...Smiling and trying to catch our breath!

Sepia looked at me...


"I'm gonna fix you pancakes in the morning." she said.


"With Blue Berries?" I asked..


''After what you did tonight...Blueberries and Strawberries." she said.


"Whipped Cream too?" I asked.

"Okay Nasty man, now you're pushin it." she said and we cracked up laughing..

II-

As she promised...Sepia fixed me some pancakes the next morning....

''These are good...One thing I can say about you babes...You're a woman of your word.." I said.

"I am....Hey look..I gotta run by the office this morning, to pick up some forms...You want anything while I'm out?" she asked.

I put my arms around her waist...


"How bout some more of you right now?" I asked...

She laughed...


"I thought I gave you quite a lot of me last night ....Hmmm.. Go pick up that money from Elwood..and we'll talk about it..." she laughed...

I kissed her passionately for a few minutes...


"We just gonna talk?" I asked..

"You getting syrup on my lips Kevin" she laughed......No, we will do more than just talk...Take Walter with you, So I know you'll be safe.." she said.

''Anything you say babes.." I laughed.

"MMMM ,I like it when you talk like that."laughed Sepia.


III-

"You found this dude in near record time Kev." said Kool Kat later on that morning as we cruised the streets..

''Part of me doesn't think he was hiding that hard..." I said.

"Something else goin on huh?" asked Kool Kat.

"Yeah first off ,dude was hiding out in a rental property owned by Cyclops Insurance.. and second of all...This guy was a partner ...A partner I believe in a whore house...I did a check on that loan that was floated against this venture...Somebody paid it off in full,minus the place they were using for a whore house...A guy named Walter Becker.."I said.

"Him I know...He's got girls on the street and a small package of Heroin too..."said Kool Kat..

"I suspect the house is a Laundromat if you know what I mean? where Becker and other drug associates launder their dirty money....That house was doing brisk business...My friend in Vice told me that house was pulling down six figures easily in just one afternoon...All of the clients were pre-approved and had very long green." I said.

"You run into him? Becker ,I mean..." asked Kool Kat...

"No..Me and a cop..an Arson cop who was looking for his daughter rousted the joint...The cops shut the place down and picked up four of his goons..and some of the girls..." I said.

"If I know right...Becker aint gonna take losin that kind of money lightly...Your boy Harkey and your client,Elwood could be in a lot of trouble Kev." said Kool Kat.

"Not my problem...That's their mess..I was paid to find him...I found him...Now let them hash it out...I'm just going to get my money." I said.

"Smart choice...You don't need that headache this close to Christmas." said Kool Kat.


As we drove...I noticed the car...

I checked the plates against my file....

"Kool Kat...That's Harkey....That's his car..."I said..

"Looks like he's in it...Slumped over..." said Kool Kat...

The car was sitting eerily still, about three blocks from Elwood's Condo....


We stopped....I peered inside the car...


Stephen Harkey was slumped across the steering wheel...A puddle of blood was running down the side of his face and a nice neat bullet hole was on his temple...His lifeless eyes appeared to be staring at the street...


He was very, very dead!!!

"Come on...let's get out of here.."I said.

"Where we goin Kev?" asked the Big Man..

"To see Elwood...and to get my money." I said.


IV-

Outside of Elwood Barnes's condo....The windows were wide open...It was ten thirty in the morning...but it sounded like my house around midnight...

The window was open and we could hear a bed squeaking loudly ,slamming against the wall and the moans and sounds of serious lovemaking..

''Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."
"Ohhh baby, give it to meeeeee....ummmmmmph..."

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....Kathy...Kathy ...ouuuuuuuuuu, more, more... ohhhhhh..."

"Sock it to me Elwood...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...sock it to me...ouuuuuu"

"LAWDDD girl, what are you doing to meeeee?"

"What am I doing to you? What are you doing to MEEEEEE?OUUUUUUUUU!"

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh gooooddddddd lawdd it's soooo goood...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh I've missed you girl...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sweeeeet jesusssssssssss you are a demon in the bedddddddddd...arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.."
 
"Morrre...Morreee....morrre...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. Elwood..ouuuuuu..ELWOOD....OHHHHHHH."
she wailed...

"Ohhhh Kathy, Kathy,ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..I'm losin my minddddddddd!! "

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...I love you soooooooooooooo much...ouuuuuuuuuuuu..Elwood!!!!"

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Elwood...Oh My god..."swooned Kathy Stewart Harkey..The wife of Stephen Harkey..

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Kathy, you are driving me crazy...this is sooooooooooooo damn good.." he moaned..

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Elwood..Give it to me..Give it to me daddy..Give it to meeeee...Wooooooooooooooou... " she cooed...

''Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww lawd girl.." howled Elwood..

The massive bed was squeaking up a storm and the headboard was slamming hard against the wall..


"Oh my god...ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...here it comes...OHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" screamed Elwood as he came so hard, he couldn't believe himself..

Kool Kat laughed...


"We got here in just the nick of time...." he laughed...

"Yeah...How about that?" I said.


We rang the doorbell...

Elwood had installed a micro camera and could see us..


He buzzed us up...He had on a floor length bathrobe.....

Mrs. Harkey could be seen in the back of his spacious condo, in her underwear
looking in a mirror...

Elwood blushed...

"Mr. Morris...Good work, good work...You found Stephen Harkey....Hiding in plain sight in one of our joints...Can you believe that??  I suppose you are here for your pay..
I have it...Damn good work.. They told me you were fast." he said.

"He's dead!" I said.

"What? Dead?" said Elwood...

"His body is down the street in his car....We passed by him on our way here." said Kool Kat.

"Dead?" said Kathy Harkey, she looked genuinely surprised as did Elwood.

Elwood thought a minute, then he smiled.


"This couldn't have worked out better if I had done this myself." he said laughing..

"What? Elwood How could you say such a thing? He's still my husband!!!" said Kathy Harkey, now visibly angry and shocked.

"Did you kill him? "I asked.

''What? NO!...Don't be ridiculous...I've been here most of the night and most of the morning.. Last night I was at Stoleys...With her until closing and before that we were at Mulberry Street...We had a Steak Dinner there...You can check." said Elwood..

"Considering he's so close to you...Was there any chance he was coming to see you?" asked Kool Kat.

"He could of been.. We needed to talk.. He had kind of dropped out of sight for a few weeks.." said Elwood.


And he was more than happy to comfort the missus during that time, I thought to myself.

"You lied to me...You told me he forged your signature on those papers for that loan...He didn't did he?" I asked.

''Elwood, What is he talking about?" asked Kathy..

"You are good Mr. Morris...He came to me some months ago with this crazy idea...To borrow 12 million against our stock to invest in this Real Estate Deal that his Broker had told him about...At first I told him to get lost...He and the Broker said we'd make a fortune...I got to thinking about it...And I reconsidered...We cut the Broker out of the deal and I signed off on it....We lost our shirts...And I was on the hook for that 12 million...Not only could I have been fired...I could've been disbarred and gone to jail...
Then he dropped out of sight....I needed to find him to get this straightened out.. Before he vanished.. He told me he found an investor, someone who would cover the money we lost ,minus one property...." said Elwood.

"Walter Becker....The Gangster?" I said.

"I thought it sounded too good to be true...Becker, who I have never met, paid off our debt....but was operating a house of uh ruh ill repute...Harkey was his front man.."said Elwood.

"Oh My God Elwood!!!!.." said Kathy...

"I needed him found so I could assure that he would never mention my name in all of this and that he'd get out of it too before he went to prison...I was even going to offer to give him my end back." said Elwood..

"Did he know about you and uh the missus here?" I asked.

"I don't think so...We have been seeing each other for over a year...I'm certain he was clueless.." said Elwood..

"The Cops raided that place yesterday.. Arrested four of his goons and several of the girls..."I said.

"They did? And Harkey is dead???...I'm totally in the clear...Nobody will ever know my part in this sordid mess.." said Elwood..

I passed him his wallet....

"Now they won't...You apparently dropped this .....I found it inside ." I whispered to him...

Elwood smiled sheepishly.....He took the wallet and tucked it into his robe's pocket...

"You knew about the place didn't you? You'd been there." I said dryly...

"Yes...I knew about it...and I couldn't have my name connected to it in anyway...I went there looking for him, but he wasn't there...I needed to talk some sense into him, get him to back away from this deal.."said Elwood..

"You don't back away from a man like Becker...He paid your debt off...He was owed...."I said.

"You better hope that Becker doesn't know about you." said Kool Kat..

 "I don't think he does...He made the deal with Harkey....I never met with him...."said Elwood..

''Maybe...but guys like him...know all of the players in any game or deal...That's how they stay on top..."cautioned Kool Kat..

Elwood gave me an envelope filled with money...He appeared to ignore the big man's warning..

"There's a bonus in there...For your little girl...Merry Christmas Mr. Morris.. Thanks again.." he said to me.

I smiled...

"Thanks.. Come on Walter. See You Around Elwood" I said.

"Yes, see you around.." he said... He pulled Kathy Harkey to him... "All this talk has gotten me horny again baby." he said.

''Calm down...My husband is dead...Having sex is the last thing on my mind right now." said Kathy..


Was this the same woman who had been screaming her head off just thirty minutes ago in this man's bed?  And who stood before us clad in only her panties and bra, Now suddenly  concerned about her dead husband??


Interesting.

"Baby please....Sex is a good way to get over your grief.." said Elwood.

"My goodness Elwood is sex all you think about? You've screwed my brains out half the night and most of this morning, not to mention in your office at noon yesterday.. When is enough, enough? Calm the hell down....What did you get my husband into?" she asked....

 "Get him into? This was his idea...and not a good one either....now come on baby....I've got a good idea...about me getting back inside of you..." he said...

"Ohhhh Elwood, you've got a one track mind..." she said.

I shook my head and smiled wryly and walked out of the loft along with Walter.

Kool Kat smiled and we left.

He looked at me as we drove into town...

''So that's it?" he said.

"Yeah, pretty much.." I said.

"I know you man...and now that there has been a murder..you aint done..You got to know who done this."said Kool Kat...

"I got my ideas...but tomorrow....I'm driving my wife and daughter up to the prison to see her mother and take her some food and Christmas cheer...Then the day after that...We are having all of you good people over our house to celebrate Christmas..." I said.

"Then what?" asked Kool Kat laughing..

"Then maybe...I inquire about a murder...but for now...let's go get some brews....It's almost Christmas." I said.

The air was cold and fresh.... Indeed..It was almost Christmas...
