Defection

Cat Gibbons was cleaning up his apartment...A man had already come and replaced the glass in the front window and he had mopped the blood and brain matter off of the floor...Cindy's blood and brain matter..from a powerful sniper's bullet that had blown the back of her head off just a few days before..

He picked up her panties and bra off the floor...He sniffed them, he thought of their last moments together...What could have been and now what would never be...

"Cat!!! Stop it!!! You've got an erection...You're getting yourself all worked up...I don't want to disappoint you.." she said..

"Cindy look...I know all your secrets, you know all of mine...All those guys who hurt you before..I been there..I'm not them...I'll treat you better than them...I know you and you know me..I know you think you'll lose our great friendship...but you won't.. Now come on girl,It's time to take it to the next level Cindy...Come on...come on in here...get some of this." he said..

Her eyes got as huge as saucers...

"Whoooooo Cat, look at you, you're, you're huge...Oh My God!" she said...

He took her hand and slipped his boxers down...

"Cat no...Noooooooooooooo don't.." she whispered , still staring at it..

He allowed her to softly stroke it....

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm, ouuu girl come on...Get some of this...All those nights I came over here and slept in the bed with you...I was like this...I'd leave your place as hard as a rock and frustrated that you couldn't see me in any other light than a friend."said Cat...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Cat...." she moaned..

Before she knew what was happening she was kissing Cat passionately...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, oh my god...Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuu Cat this is sooo wrong."she moaned..

"Why is it wrong baby? Whyyyy ?? Ummmmm come on ,get some of this....Ummmmmm." he moaned..

He reached up under her night shirt and slipped her panties down and off...these same panties he was sniffing right now at this moment...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh Cat...I can't believe this...." she said...

He unhooked her bra and slid that off....

"Ohhhhh Cat, this isn't right..." she moaned..

He continued kissing her...

''Why isn't it right?"he moaned...

She stroked his engorged and hard penis..

Cat lifted her up off the bed and entered her...She was as wet as she'd ever been, much to her surprise...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu CAT....Ohhhhh my lord..." she moaned...as he stroked her tenderly and gently...

"Ummmm it's all good, it's all good, you don't know how long I've wanted to do this....Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Cindy....YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!" he moaned...

"CATTTTTTTTTTTTT!  OH MY LORD!!! Ouuuuu." she moaned..

He had dreamed of hearing her say that...He had dreamed of making love to her so many times....He had spent the night with her once and had slept in the bed with her and was so turned on,he had to run into the bathroom and jack off, just so he could get some sleep..It was torture sleeping so close to someone  you want, but who could only see you as a friend..

Soon they were lying across the bed , making sweet ,tender love... Cat was being as tender and gentle with Cindy as possible..

SIX TO SEVEN HOURS of sweet lovemaking continued...Cindy was feeling so good she found herself crying like a baby..her head was moving from side to side and she was experiencing multiple orgasms...She had never known Cat, who she viewed as a brother since their college days had felt this way about her..

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu CAT....Ohhhhh my lord...ouuuuu, it feels so good, so good, soooo  good....OOOOOOOOOOU! " she moaned...as he stroked her tenderly and gently...

"Ummmm it's all good, it's all good, you don't know how long I've wanted to do this....Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Cindy....YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!" he moaned...

"CATTTTTTTTTTTTT!  OH MY LORD!!! Ouuuuu. I'm cumming baby...Ouuuu.." she moaned..

The bed was squeaking loudly and the headboard was ramming against the walls...

Cat came and came hard....His body was shaking and his eyes were rolling into the back of his head..

He had almost not wanted to come...He was feeling so good...and he didn't know if he'd ever the chance to do this again...As it turned out, tragically,he would never have this chance again...

Her life was cut short...

He remembered the end...The last moments...They started kissing again and she got on top of him and started going up and down...

"Ouuuuu look at you...You're buying into this huh? Being my woman, taking things to the next level?" he said in between wet,sloppy, passionate kisses...That was the last thing he'd ever say to her.....

She eased herself down on his eager, waiting and hard penis...

''Stop talking Cat...you're killing the mood.. Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu you are huge and sooo hard....OH MY LAWD!" she moaned as she moved up and down on him...

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!" he moaned....

The glass in the front window of his apartment shattered....Cindy's eyes looked ahead and then her head
fell on his shoulders...She stopped moving...

Cat looked and a stream of blood ran down her back and just poured on the floor...

Cindy's lifeless body fell off of him and on to the bedroom floor...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.. OHHHHHHHHHHHH  NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" he screamed in horror!!!!

 And just like that...All that they could have been was ended by a sniper's bullet...

He had never wanted to be a part of his cousin's drug empire... Alvin told him he never had to know the particulars...He handled the books, he managed the money...He had people who doled out the payments and made the necessary connections..He didn't even go to the warehouses...He had somebody call him and give him the count on when the product arrived...He told himself he was just a businessman...

But then a rash of people started overdosing, dying from the product...he was helping his cousin manage...He told himself it wasn't his fault...He wasn't actually selling it..He told himself..It wasn't on him..He was never near any drugs or guns...

Then 8 people died...He had to pay the hitters...He knew who he was paying...Even if he didn't know the specifics..Some mornings he couldn't look at  himself in the mirror...

He dreamed of being out of his cousin's business....Which was why he was trying to set up a legitimate accounting firm...He wanted to ask Cindy to go in on it with him,be his partner...in business and in the bed..

Now she was dead ,because of his business...

He no longer wanted this...He got on the phone...

"Can I speak to ADA KEITH WALLACE?" he said.

II-

 A rare night out for some of our detectives..  FBI Deputy Special Agent in charge, Sharon Ferrell Hopkins and her husband, Detective Tony Hopkins...and Detective Tyriq Pile and his wife, Detective Sirena Pile were out for the afternoon...They had gone to Josies and then to Aqua Bar and then to Stoleys and now were ending their night at Jake's Fabulous Hot Dogs...A 24 hour spot that was popular with the partying crowd..

"Oh My God...I love these Hot Dogs from Jakes....I so missed them when I was in D.C. and Atlanta and New Orleans...Next to Tony...That's what made me come back to Philly.." joked Sharon...

"Oh Wow....At least you were in first place Hop.." Joked Tyriq...

"What's up partner?" asked Sirena as they all munched on their hot dogs...

"Across the street, in that car...Look...It's Alvin Tolliver and a White man...." said Hop.....

"It is..."said Sharon...

"Bae, you got your Micro-Camera...?" asked Hop...

"I do..." said Sharon, who passed it to him...

Hop snapped several photos of the two...Good photos....

"Let me go to the car" said Sirena...

She ran out back to the car and came back with a listening device..

Her husband, Tyriq gave her the side eye...

"You keep that in the car?" he asked..

"Never know when you might need it.." said Sirena..

Now they could listen in to the conversation...

"Your cousin...You said he would not flip....Did you know he called ADA Keith Wallace today?" said the white man, who had a distinct Russian accent..

"What? No way...He wouldn't do that?" said Alvin Tolliver

"I have his loft wired and I cloned his phones...I have him on tape, asking to meet with Keith Wallace tomorrow..."

"Nooooooooooooo.." said Alvin...

"That meeting is not going to take place...because...Your cousin will be dead!" said the White man..

"Hey man, that's my cousin..." said Alvin...

"Look I've got a ship docked not far from here with millions of dollars of Heroin that I can't sell..Because of the carelessness of your operation...The Cops arrested your entire organization.." said the white man..

"Look, as we speak, I'm putting together a new crew...Leaner, meaner to distribute...but we have to be cool, I got a little heat on me.." said Alvin.

"Not to mention a trial coming up.." said the white man..

"They got nothin...I got a good lawyer...I'm gonna walk.." said Alvin..

"I am patient with you because of the past..because you made me a lot of money and pretty fast...but your cousin...He has to die.."

"Come on man...He's family...Let me talk to him...Let me straighten things out.." said Alvin..

"It's too late...It's already in motion...I can't call it off...I can't get in contact with my guy again...I don't want to compromise him to the police.."

 "Oh my god...We've got to do something....It's almost three in the morning.." said Sharon...

"I don't want to wake Sissy and Carlotta and the rest up..."said Tyriq.

"First thing in the morning...We have to tell everybody..." said Sirena..

III-

"Tell everybody what?" I said as I walked in with Carlotta, Sissy and Eddie C.

"We had been at the movies and at Aqua Bar...now we decided to come to Jakes for a Hot Dog...as I see you guys did also." said Sissy's husband...Eddie C.

"They just pulled off..but Alvin Tolliver and a White man with a Russian accent were in a car talking..They didn't see us..but I got these photos.." said Hop...

''Oh My...Great work Hop." said Sissy.

"But there's more...We taped a conversation between the two..With this.." said Sirena

Showing the surveilience mike and recorder...

"You carry that thing around with you on a date?" asked Carlotta...

"Never know when you'll need it.." said Sirena..

Her husband, Tyriq, who had asked her the same thing cracked up laughing...

"What is important is what is on it..Listen..." said Sharon...

"Your cousin...You said he would not flip....Did you know he called ADA Keith Wallace today?" said the white man, who had a distinct Russian accent..

"What? No way...He wouldn't do that?" said Alvin Tolliver

"I have his loft wired and I cloned his phones...I have him on tape, asking to meet with Keith Wallace tomorrow..."

"Nooooooooooooo.." said Alvin...

"That meeting is not going to take place...because...Your cousin will be dead!" said the White man..

"Hey man, that's my cousin..." said Alvin...

"Look I've got a ship docked not far from here with millions of dollars of Heroin that I can't sell..Because of the carelessness of your operation...The Cops arrested your entire organization.." said the white man..

"Look, as we speak, I'm putting together a new crew...Leaner, meaner to distribute...but we have to be cool, I got a little heat on me.." said Alvin.

"Not to mention a trial coming up.." said the white man..

"They got nothin...I got a good lawyer...I'm gonna walk.." said Alvin..

"I am patient with you because of the past..because you made me a lot of money and pretty fast...but your cousin...He has to die.."

"Come on man...He's family...Let me talk to him...Let me straighten things out.." said Alvin..

"It's too late...It's already in motion...I can't call it off...I can't get in contact with my guy again...I don't want to compromise him to the police.."

 Sissy was stunned....

"First thing in the morning , we have to set up....This is our chance to catch the hitter...Our suspect in the Sutton Murder.. and since Cat has flipped...We now have the books...We can put Alvin Tolliver on ice..once and for all...A slam dunk if we do this right." said Sissy..

''What about the Russian?" asked Carlotta..

"I'm guessing that's his connect...That's also his boss..Who he answers to....He's the lightning rod...The guy selling the drugs...The Old man is the guy who brings it in.." said Tyriq..

"I'm guessing you're right..." I said.

"It never ends.." said Sharon...

"No, it never does.." laughed Carlotta as we all ordered hot dogs...

Meanwhile, Cat Gibbons sat at the window, crying...holding Cindy's panties and bra and sniffing them and dreaming of what could have been...
