When It's Not Over

We watched the body of the hitman, Vince Matthews being carted away.....A small crowd of people gathered on the street... In that crowd was Mrs. Talbert...Mother of my wife ,Monica and my sister in law Monique...

She saw us walking out of the building and she ran and grabbed both of her daughters, hugging them both...

"Oh My God, Mo-Mo..Mook, I'm so glad you both are okay..." she said..

"Mommy, what are you doing here?" asked Monique..

"Yeah Ma?" asked Monica...

"My sleep was disturbed...I could feel Mook (Monique) was in distress...I locked in...I had to find my baby." she said...

"Ma, I'm a cop...You know I wouldn't let anything happen to Monique.." said Monica.

"I know....I'm sorry...I've never come to your crime scene before...I won't again...."said Mrs. Talbert..

"Mrs. Talbert...What are you doing here?" asked Lt. Cotton...

Mrs. Talbert had to think quick....

"Monique was wearing some kind of tracking device...Monica was at my house, she had told me that Monique had been kidnapped...but that she was tracking her...She told me where she was going...I made her...I was worried about my daughter." she said.

Lt. Cotton looked at Monica..

"That's how you found her huh?  Was this your plan?" asked Lt. Cotton...

"It was sir....Our plan was to drawn him to us...Since we couldn't find him...We made him think that Monique had the Zip Drive on her...We knew he'd come after her.."I said.

"You took a big gamble...He could have killed her.." said Lt. Cotton...

"Not if she didn't have it...He'd keep her alive until he found out , but then , we'd of found him...Which we did..Only thing..We meant to bring him in alive.." said Monica.

"That's okay....At least we made sure he won't kill again...and you cleared your two murders..." he said..

Detective Wallace looked at me....

"Of course none of that is true is it?" he whispered in my ear...

"No it's not...We were going to place a phony story that we had stashed the zip drive in a safe deposit box in Octopus Gardens, the Undersea City...

and we had OCPD set a little trap for us...Unfortunately this guy snatched Monique before we could float our phony story... We, Monica and I were the only ones who knew the story was phony...We told everybody else that we stashed the zip drive in a safe deposit box in Octopus Gardens.." I said.

"But it's not there is it?" he asked.

"No it's here in Philly...It never left here..but if he got that out of Monique , which I hope he did...I'm sure he made some calls to whoever he is working with...and they took the bait.."I said.

"Meaning what?"asked Detective Wallace...

"Meaning that right now...Somebody is opening that safe deposit box and getting a whiff of knockout gas...Enough to knock out an elephant...We planned it originally for laughing boy here...but he's dead...I'm guessing he made some calls after he got that information...If my guess is right..." said Monica.

"We have a suspect..in custody..." I said finishing her sentence..

Detective Wallace...smiled.."Finishing each other's sentences...Wow, look at yall....When I first met you two..You were always arguing...Even then...I suspected there was something between you two...It was more than I suspected.." he said.

''Yeah, we were slowly falling in love...We were trying to go back to the moon...but it looks like we won't be doing that now.." said Monica.

"Yeah.." I sighed..

He looked at Mrs. Talbert and Monique and looked at me..

''That's your MOTHER IN LAW NATE??" he asked.

I smiled ..."Yeah man.."

"Damn...She's fine as hell...and so is your sister in law...Mann Nate, you struck the jackpot..." he said.

''Stop Lusting after my mom..." laughed Monica..

"I'm sorry Mo-Mo...Hey look, why don't I treat you and your hubby to breakfast and get you up to speed on this case?" he said.

''Sounds like a plan...I'm Hungry.."said Monica.

"I'm taking your mother home and then I'm uh taking your sister to breakfast." said Lt. Cotton..

 Mrs. Talbert smiled at me....She was thankful that I helped her with the lie and kept her and her daughter's status as mutants a secret...and that I'd helped rescue her other daughter...

Monique smiled at me too! Then laughed , when I blushed...

"Nate, you're so cute." she laughed..."My sister is sooo lucky to have you." she said as the three of them left...

''Well Partner...Let's go get breakfast and hear what the man has to say..." said Monica..

I looked at Detective Wallace -

"Lead the way man.." I said.

II-

In The Undersea City of Octopus Gardens... A man opened the safe deposit box where we said a Zip drive was supposed to be stashed away...

He got a whiff of Knock out gas powerful enough to knock out an elephant....

When the police arrived...28 year old Chris Waverly was slumped on the floor, snoring.. He was promptly put in a Transport Sub under guard and brought to the surface..

Where Detective Kylie White and six uniformed officers were waiting and took the semi-conscious man into custody...

She called Monica and gave her the news as we headed to breakfast with Detective Carlos Wallace.

"That was Kylie..She picked up our second suspect just now...Special delivery from Octopus Gardens..." said Monica.

"I told you we had a plan." I said.

"Kylie...How is she doing?" asked Detective Wallace..

''She's fine...She is seeing somebody now, you know..?" said Monica.

"Yeah, I know...I blew it with her...I thought I had gotten someone pregnant and had a baby...Turns out the whole thing was a lie and the paternity test was a fraud..."I said.

'Wow mann." I said.

"But you had been sleeping with her and Kylie too at the same time ." said Monica.

"Yeah...I'm no Angel." he said somberly...

None of us said a word on our way to a nice restaurant to get some breakfast...

Carlos and I had Big stacks of Pancakes...

While Monica had Scrambled Eggs and Bacon...

We both had hot steaming tumblers of coffee..

"So, you two killed Vince Matthews...He's been on Interpol and the Luna City Police department's radar for a long time...Stone cold killer...A suspect in at least 12 contract killings...In Europe, Luna City, Philly and Lemuria..He got around...the kind of guy you call when you need somebody shut up....and something quashed...In this case...Whistle Blowers.. I had been investigating that crash for a year now ,along with my other cases and I kept getting stalled by the company...Officially...I was pulled from the case...Someone in that company has friends in high places...I was dead in the water until Your victim and her brother started talking and were about to go to the press with the story..." said Carlos..

"What Story?" I asked.

"Your victim's brother made two zip drives...The one you have detailing the case and another one..One nobody can find that has files and actual evidence that leads to corruption in high places...If it was made public..Several people could find themselves prosecuted for negligence in this case...and could face serious fines and jail time..." said Carlos..

"So us killing Vince Matthews and capturing this other guy..." said Monica.

"Means nothing...They'll send someone else..when they find out..I need to find that second zip drive before they do..." he said.

"It can't be here in Philly."said Monica.

"No it's not.." said Carlos..

"According to the first Zip Drive...She said she left you a clue somewhere.."I said.

"You two said that you wanted to go back to the moon right?" he asked..

''Yeah..." said Monica, who's eyes lit up...

"Got any vacation time?" asked Carlos..

"Ouuu...I like the way he thinks." said Monica.

"Our Double Homicide is down...We have a few vacation days due us..." I said.

"Cooool...All we gotta do is see what we can find out from this mope you guys got in custody..."said Carlos..

III-

Chris Waverly sat at the table in the interogation room, nicknamed the fishbowl....He was still groggy...

Monica, Carlos and I walked in...

We were met by Kylie , who had been keeping an eye on him..

"Hey Mo-Mo- Nate... He's just waking up...He has no idea where he is..." said Kylie..

"Hello Detective White...It's been awhile huh?" said Carlos...Who walked back outside the interrogation room and closed the door.. He stared at Kylie , who began to perspire..

''Shouldn't you ..Shouldn't you uh be in there with uh Nate and Monica..?" she asked..

"They're seasoned detectives...They know how to do an interrogation.." he said, smiling...


He and Kylie both remembered the first time they had sex in a downtown hotel about two years ago...

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmph...""ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.."

The bed was squeaking loudly....The headboard was smacking against the wall....They were in the throngs of passionate lovemaking...

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

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....Kylie...Kylie ...ouuuuuuuuuu, more, more... ohhhhhh..."

"Sock it to me Carlos...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...Sock it to me..."

"LAWDDD girl, what are you doing to meeeee?ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Kylieeeeeeee..."

"What am I doing to you? What are you doing to MEEEEEE?Ouuuuuuuuuu weeeeeee..."

He lifted her up and really put his back into it...She was the softest, most moist woman he had ever been with...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh gooooddddddd lawdd it's soooo goood...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh  girl...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sweeeeet jesusssssssssss you are a demon in the bedddddddddd...arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..Aye Mios Dios!!!!" 
"Morrre...Morreee....morrre...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. Carlos..ouuuuuu..Carlos....OHHHHHHH."
she wailed...

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

"I love the way you say my name with your cute accent...ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..oh my god...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..." 

They hadn't slept much....They had been making sweet passionate and intense love for close to four hours...
The bed springs was squeaking loudly....The headboard was smacking against the wall....The people in the next room were astonished...

Kylie began to shake and gyrate and tears began to stream down her face again....

"It's sooooooooooooooo goooddd...Oh my godddddddddddddd it's soooooo gooood!  I love it...I love this so muchhhhh Carlos....ohhhhh don't stoppp, don't stopp...Carlos..ouuuuuu..Carlos....OHHHHHHH....I'm cumming...I'm cumming baby..ohhhhhh!" she screamed as they both climaxed in a crescendo of sweat!

"Aye Mios Dios.....Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" he screamed as he came with wild abandon.....

They both lay next to each other laughing.....trying to trying to catch their breath...

''Wow...You are amazing Kylie." he said trying to catch his breath.

"You're not bad yourself...and cute as hell."she said, still kissing him.....

 "We'd better get in the shower and get dressed.." said Carlos...

Kylie leaned over and kissed him..

 "I don't know if I can let you go." she said..

"I don't know if I want you to." he said -"Come on..let's get up before we start up again and really be late." he said with a smile.

"Ummmmmmmmmmmm Yes...that's a good idea.. " she said...and they kissed some more...


That was seemingly, a lifetime ago now....Kylie was involved with someone else now...Wally Becker...and while she wasn't sure where their relationship was going..At least she was in a relationship with someone right here...Someone she could see and touch everyday and not the long distance from Earth to the Moon relationship she had with Detective Carlos Wallace...

Kylie broke into a cold sweat...She was surprisingly aroused.. but trying to keep her composure..



"Y-yes..Detective , It has been awhile...H-H-How are...How have you b-been?" she said..

He smiled and slowly unbuttoned her blouse...

He peered at her bra..

"Ummmmmm ,still as ripe and perky as I remember.." he said..

Kylie backed away and buttoned up her blouse...

"I'm seeing someone Carlos...How is your baby?" she asked..

"There is no baby....Before I leave..I'll uh explain all that to you." he said..

Monica and I were in the interrogation room...

Monica stared , but said nothing...

I sat down...I had a huge file...His..

"Chris Waverly....Hmmmm...Like your friend...Vince Matthews...Quite an impressive record...Air Force Office of Special Investigations agent at one time, Retired...Private Investigator...and suspected mercenary...
Suspect in at least five murders....Not as ambitious as Vince was.."I said.

"What do you mean was?" he asked.  "Where am I?" he barked.

"Vince is dead.." said Monica..

He smirked..

"So she does talk...I thought she might be mute." he said.

Monica laughed and showed him a photo of Vince Matthews lying in a pool of blood on the floor , facing upward....His lifeless eyes staring at the ceiling...His pistol laying to the side..

"Oh My God...You ...You street cops did this to Vince? Impossible..." he said.

"Yeah he thought so too... Didn't think we could find him first of all...and then foolishly tried to shoot it out in close quarters with us, like he's the only trained marksman here..." I said.

"You guys...which of you two is prior military?" he asked..

"Both of us.." said Monica..

"Now that we have killed Vince..We have you Chris...We know he called you and told you where the Zip Drive you two are searching for is....and you went looking for it...Which is how we have you...Now what we want to know is who hired you."I said.

"Like I'm going to tell you..." he said.

"I didn't think you would..but know this...The people who hired you...Are going to have you killed ,once they find out you've been captured...That's what they do...You know that...And your handler...Melvin Slezak who hired you has had this type of thing done before.."said Monica.

''How did you???...Who told you about Slezak?? " he said , now afraid..

He didn't know that Monica had scanned his mind..She knew that neither he nor Vince Matthews knew who the person or persons were that hired them...Whoever was behind this hired Melvin Slezak to acquire their special services...The killing of two whistle blowers, which Matthews had done and to find two zip drives with explosive information that could end several careers...

"Officer!" I said.

The police officer handcuffed him and read him his rights...He was being charged with Conspiracy to commit murder and kidnapping..

"Hey wait...I didn't tell you guys nothing..I didn't say nothin.." he screamed as he was led out...

Meanwhile in the back hallway...Carlos and Kylie were talking..

"And that's the truth Kylie...There is no baby...There never was.. At least it wasn't mine.. She was cheating on me." said Carlos..

"You were cheating on me..." said Kylie..

''Yeah I was...So you're seeing somebody eh?" he said.

"Yeah..." she said..

He opened her blouse again..

"It serious?" he asked.

"Kind of" she said.

He peered at her bra...

"You always did wear such nice bras...I uh suppose you don't cheat?" he asked.

"I try not to.." she said and buttoned her blouse back up..

"Shame...I'd sure like to cheat with you right now." he said. He kissed her softly, passionately for a few minutes..

Kylie knew if she didn't stop...Her clothes would be off soon and they'd be making love...She slowly eased out of their embrace...and straightened her clothes..

"Carlos...We are not going to do this...We'd uh better walk back up there...I see ,The officers just took your suspect down...Monica and Nate are finished with him..." she said and walked back...

Monica looked at Kylie , who looked guilty as hell, Monica, because she could read thoughts and feel emotions could tell she was aroused..

"Kylie...you okay? You're sweating and you appear to be uh glowing.." Monica kidded..

"Oh No...I'm..I'm cool...I've got to talk to the janitor about the heat in here..Whoooo..it's hot." she said as she walked off..

Monica cracked up and looked at Carlos..

"Stop lusting after my girl...She seeing somebody , Don't corrupt her.." she said.

''Who Me? I wouldn't dream of corrupting sweet Kylie." laughed Detective Wallace devilishly..

"We got a name...Melvin Slezak...You know him?" I asked...Changing the subject.

"HE GAVE UP THAT NAME? TO YOU??" asked Carlos..

"No...but you know I have ways of getting information.."said Monica..

"Oh yeahhhh...When are you going to uh tell your Lieutenant who you are??He is going to be your brother in law.." said Carlos..

"When he marries my sister...He'll find out about my family..." said Monica..

"So Melvin Slezak....Who is he?" I asked.

"Mel Slezak...He's a  High powered Lawyer...and a fixer....He uh brings people together....So somebody required his services and he got the best....Vince Matthews and Chris Waverly...I'd like to ask your Lieutenant to uh keep the news of Matthews death and Waverly's capture out of the news for as long as he can ....Until I can get to Slezak...and locate that other Zip Drive...Which is where you two come in..." said Carlos..

"Yes...Where we come in." said Monica , smiling at me..

''Wow! All of a sudden this sounds like fun." I said.
