Unfriendly Persuasion

On the rooftop of the apartment complex across the street from where the murder occurred...Sissy and I stood drinking coffee and talking..

as my wife Carlotta, and her partners, Tyriq and Jimmy and three uniformed officers canvassed the rooftop.

"Our shooter exited this way over the rooftop..." said Carlotta...

"Yeah, which is why Hop couldn't find any footage of him on the street after the shooting.." said Tyriq..

"Over here guys...In this trash can look...Several bottles of bleach and towels.. and latex gloves...He wiped down the apartment he was in and then disposed of the bottles of bleach and the towels here in this waste basket..He used gloves....That's why we didn't find any prints or DNA.." said Jimmy...

"But if we turn those gloves inside out...We find prints and DNA....from his sweat" said Carlotta...who looked at Tyriq..

"You taught me that.." she said.

Tyriq smiled..

"Yeah...when we first became partners.." he said. 

Hop and Sirena entered the rooftop...

 "I didn't get any footage of him leaving the scene of the murder...but the store he bought those Anti-Anxiety pills from had a camera and I got a good photo of Him." said Hop..

"We sent it to Sharon to run through Facial recognition" said Sirena.

"Great work guys...We'll have this guy identified within a few hours I hope... With what Chica, Rico and Jimmy just found...We'll have DNA and Fingerprint identification too." said Sissy.

"Finding the killer is the least of our worries...He won't identify Alvin Tolliver...He'll just clam up!" I said..

"You never know." said Sissy...

II-

Meanwhile Across the street...It was a day later and Cat Gibbons was still not being co-operative, despite being somewhat smitten with Detective Angie Belton-Barlow...

He kept smiling at her ,while Duke talked to him..

Angie smiled back....

"Cat...has your cousin even called you?   Here your very best friend in the world has been murdered and he hasn't thought enough of you to call you.." said Angie..

He smiled , while checking out her cleavage...

"Damn girl, why you have to be a cop and be so fine?" he asked.. ''Look, he my cousin...We family...He paid for me to go to college and grad school..." he said.

"And you paid him back by managing the financial end of his drug operation..." said Duke...

"Allegedly." he said and laughed and then looked at Angie and smiled..

"You know, you can laugh and make jokes all you want...but the fact remains...Somebody put a bullet through YOUR GLASS and hit your very best friend, Cindy Sutton in the head..You said you waited a whole lifetime for her...You finally got her ,only to lose her.. If nothing else...That should mean something to you...She should mean something to you." said Angie...

He looked somber......Then he smirked..."Maybe this guy was shooting at someone else and he missed."he said and laughed...

Duke had had enough, he gripped him up in the collar...

"Look you stupid buster.." said Duke..but Angie calmed him down...

''Duke, Duke...let him go!!!.. Let's go...But let me say this Cat...We are going to catch your girlfriend's killer soon...He made a few mistakes..and you know what? He'll be just like you...He won't talk to us...He won't give up your cousin's name because he like you will fear your cousin more than he will what we will do to him...So you'll never know."said Angie.

''Hey,wait..I never said I was afraid...I aint scared of nobody.." he retorted..

"Then help us...Give us your cousin...Get revenge for Cindy's death..." said Angie..

"I'll think about it." he said.

''Don't take too long and if I was you...I'd stay away from the windows.." said Duke as he and Angie left.

III-

At headquarters, Hazel was talking to us...

"The bullet I took out of victims head was different than any I've ever seen...."said Hazel...

"How so?" I asked.

"It's plastic with reinforced copper cover...Homemade...and filled with Cyanide.." said Hazel..

"That means our guy has a military background..." said Sissy.

"I'll say." said Sharon...."I ran the prints and DNA that Lotta, Rico and Jimmy found..

and they weren't in our system....So I ran them through VICAP...Again ,nothing...So I ran em through Interpol...nothing...It was if this guy didn't exist....Then I ran em through the Department of Defense database...and I got a hit..  His name is Cecil Mays....He's an Ex-Navy Seal...Highly trained, very efficient..Had 28 confirmed kills in the Gulf War... His photo was a match too...He's your shooter.."said Sharon..

 

"You told Sirena and Hop?" asked Sissy..

"Yeah , he had five Philadelphia Addresses and two in Camden.....Sirena, Hop, Lotta,Rico and Jimmy all divided the five houses up amongst themselves...

"They and a squad of Tactical officers took all five Philly addreses...he was long gone and the places had all been bleached down...My FBI agents took the two Camden residences..same thing..." she said.

Duke countered....

"I've got a BOLO out on him...I didn't say anything to the press... We have undercovers at the Airports, The Train Station, The Bus Station and they all have a description and a photo of him..and the  Stateys (PA. State Police) have a photo of him too and are on the interstates looking for him...

"I have teams on all of the major car rental places too ,looking for him.. They have a photo and a description.." said Angie..

"Good...We've got the town bottled up...We'll get him...."said Sissy.

"It's time we had a talk with Alvin Tolliver himself.. Pick him up." I said.

IV-

Duke, Angie, Sirena and Hop and five uniformed officers brought Drug Kingpin, Alvin Tolliver downtown..

and deposited him in the Interrogation room, known as "The Fishbowl"

I had never met him before...I only knew him as a mug shot.. He was short, about Five feet ,four and a half inches...About 175 pounds...Well Dressed...Short haircut...Goatee...He sat down or rather slouched and peered arrogantly at the wall..

Carlotta walked in with some files...

He smiled a toothy grin...

"Lawdddd have mercy...Whoooooo they didn't tell me that such a fine detective would be interviewing me.. I speak espanol mami.." he said..

Carlotta ignored him and placed all of the files in his face...

"That's your 47 friends....They are all doing time...They wouldn't testify against you...We know you put money on their books to buy their silence and they took a structured plea....Your lawyer told them you'd take care of their families...but you don't have that kind of money,not any more...We shut you down...What will you do when the money dries up and they start talking.?" asked Carlotta.

He smiled.

"Look...I got more cash on me now than you make in a week..Why don't you come closer and let me stick a few dollars in the waistband of your panties mami?" he said with a smirk..

"You don't have enough in your pants or your pockets to handle all of this papi."said Carlotta..

He laughed...

"One way to find out huh?" he said..

Tyriq and Jimmy walked in..

 "Playtime is over punk...That was real cute what you did...Hiring a hitman to take out your cousin yesterday...What, Was he nearsighted? He shot and killed an innocent girl...One of your cousin's friends, Cindy Sutton.." said Tyriq..

"See if he had of killed your low life cousin...We might not be that interested...but he killed a citizen...an innocent girl and that makes us mad.... We are going to catch your shooter, sooner than he may think.. "said Jimmy...

I entered the room with Sissy..

"And when we do...I'm going to throw the book at him...The Death Penalty....No deals...Unless he talks about you...and if he does...I'm going to be nice...I'll give him life and make sure you get the death penalty, how about that?" I said.

"So that puts you in the jackbox...Either way."said Sissy..

He smiled..

"You guys really think you got this figured out huh?  Hahahahahahahaha, you got nothin..." he laughed "And if you did...I'd already be in bracelets...Not privy to this little dog and pony show.."he said.

''Why did you try to do your cousin? What? You don't trust him?? We don't have anything on him...He's not mentioned in the indictments...I'm sure your lawyer has informed you of that." I said..

Just then we heard a voice...

"ALRIGHT..ALRIGHT!!!  THIS INTERVIEW IS OVER!" came the voice of Attorney A.J. Miller..

"A.J., I see you've recovered from your wounds..."laughed Sissy...

He had been shot by a crazed woman who was attempting to bribe a crooked politician we were investigating, "Honest Abe"...She killed Honest Abe, a thug who was working for him and a gambler from A.C. who was also blackmailing him....A.J. was shot in the melee ,which ended with The woman being shot to death as well as Honest Abe and the thug...And A.J. Miller being the only survivor...

"Yes...I did...You've charged and convicted 47 people..None of them my client...Not one of them mentioned my clients name....All of the hours of wiretapping you did and you don't have his voice on one tape..You have bupkis...Now why don't you stop harassing him?" he said.

''We aren't harassing him....We were just talking." said Carlotta.

"Yeah? Well if you aren't charging him, the conversation is over.." said A.J.Miller.

"I'm hungry A.J.  Can we stop by Sam Mother's and get some lunch?" asked Alvin Tolliver..

"Sure....I could go for his Hot Roast Beef sandwich.." said A.J. as the two men exited..

''We didn't even rattle him..but I think the point was made...His cousin, Cat Gibbons is now too afraid of talking if he had designs on doing so in the first place....." said Sissy..

"I know.." I said.

"Tomorrows another day...He knows we are watching him...He'll sit tight...We are still monitoring his phones..Maybe the talk on the wire will reveal something.."said Sharon...

"Know what I think? Our Killer may already be dead, for screwing up."said Hop..

"But did he screw up? He might not have hit his target...but he got his message to his cousin...His cousin aint said a word...That might have been a message...Shut your mouth,Don't even think about talking."said Duke.

"Duke is right...He's scared the crap out of Cat Gibbons." said Sirena..

"So what do we do now?" asked Angie..

''We work this murder hard and close it...And then we wait...We wait for something to pop."said Sissy..

V-

We all went home... That was a good feeling...Going to our own homes...Our own beds , Nobody being undercover or working on a big investigation...Just a routine murder..

Our killer ,if he was still alive ..couldn't leave the city....The net was narrowing...I expected him to be in custody within the next 48 hours...

Carlotta and I had a delicious meal and the retreated to our bedroom..I watched her as she took her shoulder holster off and began to get undressed....

"Myyy papi, you always get undressed so fast.." she laughed.

"I know....you are such inspiration."I said.

"Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm papi....look at you...ouuuuuu you are so damn big......you have more than enough in your pants to handle all of this.."she said, stroking me lightly....

We kissed passionately in the middle of the floor...

Carlotta gently stroked my penis which was as hard as a rock...

''Ouuuuuuuuuuuu..yes, you have more than enough papi..ouuuuuuuuuuuuu!" she said.

"Ohhhhh my godddd.." I said...

 Ouuuu papi..I like that very much...Aye Mios dios...ohhhhhhhhh....Why does your penis shake?" asked Carlotta..

"Probably because it is anxious to be inside of you.." I said softly...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhh, ouuuuuu then I have to take care of that...ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.." she cooed..

She rubbed my penis gingerly and began kissing me softly and slowly.....

 " Soon we were lying on the bed...making sweet love...

She stared at me deeply,intensely and then kissed me slowly and softly....

" Ouuuuuu," she moaned....

 "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..." I moaned as I began to kiss her deeper, more passionately...still rubbing her legs and squeezing her hips and buttocks..

I then took one of her breasts in my mouth and began to suck it lightly...She moaned....and looked away.... "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....you feel so gooooood!" she moaned....

"Ohhhhh, so do youuuuuuuuuuuuu..."I groaned.

The bed was squeaking so loud and the headboard was slamming so hard against the wall that we didn't hear anything else...

Sometimes I had to pinch myself...I still couldn't believe that this girl, who I had had the biggest crush on , was actually my wife now... I couldn't get enough of Carlotta...and she couldn't get enough of me..

SEVEN HOURS of sweet lovemaking drifted by slowly...  

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh papi, don't stop...Aye Mios Dios.." she moaned..

  "Carlotta, my goodness...Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.." I moaned.

She was so warm, so wet....and her kisses were like butter....just driving me to the point of madness.

Carlotta looked at me and smiled as she began to shake, sweat began to stream down the side of her face and she actually began to cry a little bit...

I was sweating profusely and feeling on the verge of exploding myself..

Carlotta and I both began to climax together furiously...

We both laughed and squeezed each other tightly and continued kissing and breathing heavily...

It seemed like I was never going to stop exploding....

 Carlotta thought she was calming me down by kissing my neck and my cheek, but that was exciting me even more...I was cumming like a gusher...

"Ouuu papi, you got over excited..." she said as she rubbed my back...

"Is that even possible?" I asked....

 I was drained of all energy as well as bodily fluids... I simply collapsed in her arms...She held me gently in her arms and she kissed me softly on the cheek as I  gradually drifted off to sleep...

Meanwhile a phone call was taking place that would have dire consequences...

''Why man? Why? I been ridin with you since day one...Since day one I've had your back and you try to whack me?" asked Cat Gibbons..

"Look man...That wasn't me...That's the man....He was afraid you might be the weak link..I told him you wouldn't roll...but it was already in motion...Cuz these people are evil...It wasn't me...I'm sorry about Cindy...I always dug her.." said Alvin Tolliver...

"Damn man, I told you not to fool around with them damn Russians in the first place..."said Cat...

"Hey man...keep that word out ya mouth...Now I'm gonna work this out...Just sit tight...Aight.." said Alvin...

"Alright man..."said Cat Gibbons...
