Dry Run

There was nothing more we could do today.....So Monica and I went home.....

Monica sat on the side of the bed....staring out into the abyss....Lost in her thoughts...

For awhile I allowed her to be lost in her thoughts....Then finally,I sat down on the bed, next to her...

"You gonna be alright?" I asked..

"Maybe.....Life is so random partner....Here one minute, then you're gone...Those people got in that taxi and they never thought, never imagined that this was their last ride, that this was the last moments of their lives.." she said, quietly....

"I know....That drone could have easily been aimed at us...We wouldn't have known...We wouldn't have seen it..."I thought soberly....

Monica was silent for a long time..It was beginning to get dark outside...Or a little more overcast...

I stared at Monica just sitting there...

She had on a camoflauge mini skirt.....and a white mid-drift...

I softly rubbed her shapely and smooth legs and then  slowly ran my hands up her dress. She looked at me devilishly and smiled...

I ran my fingers down into her panties...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu you are soooo badddddddddddddddd! Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" she said, smiling......

 "Nateeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" she moaned....but she didn't move my hands...She just looked at me...She smiled at me........Devilishly.........

"I-I -Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...I like what you're...Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...Doing to me partner...Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu , Oh My godddddddd...Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.." she moaned...

I wanted to take her mind off of what was bothering her...It was bothering me too, what we had just seen... A drone struck a Flying taxi and exploded, incinerating five innocent people....and the fact that some madman was out there and might be behind this was even more terrifying...I didn't want to think about it and she didn't either..

I softly rubbed in between her thighs...She was sweating a little bit...
"You know what??....Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Nate , ummmmmmmmmmmph that feels soo good...Ohhhh!" she moaned....

She was sweating and tears were running down her face....She was shaking a little bit...She laughed nervously and turned her head from side to side...

I was enjoying driving her crazy like this and she knew it...She was usually the one driving me crazy...

 She kicked her shoes off and I got down on one knee and removed her socks...

She began breathing heavy...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.." she moaned....She turned her head from side to side...She squeezed my arm...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, stop teasing me...Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" she said...


My fingers were inside her panties and  I was rubbing in between her legs softly and slowly...


I softly stuck my middle finger into her vagina...it was warm and very moist...and I stared at her...

 She was sweating and tears were running down her face....She was shaking a little bit...She laughed nervously and turned her head from side to side again......

"Did I tell you that I like what you're...Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...Doing to me partner?...Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu , Oh My godddddddd...Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.." she moaned...
"Yes you did.." I said ,smiling...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh...ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu god...Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu baby ..." she moaned..

She gasped...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuu!" she said...

I softly  fingered her and she squirmed at first...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..." she moaned...

She began breathing heavy...
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...Ohhhh My god...Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" she moaned quietly.....

''Oh....Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" she moaned...Surprisingly enough..Monica got the most serene look on her face I have ever seen and she just smiled and leaned over and kissed my shoulder...She was shaking and sweating and a few tears were streaming down her face...

She kissed my shoulder and hugged me...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...Ohhhh My god...Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" she moaned quietly.....she began sweating profusely and tears began streaming down her face...She was having a massive orgasm...

She unzippered my trousers and put her hands down my boxers...I was as hard as a rock, she softly rubbed me...

"Ummmmmmmmm look at this...Woooooooooooooo...You're very hard..Ummmmmmm, very hard" she said smiling and began to softly rub my penis with her soft hands....

Now I was the one moaning and going crazy...

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....Ouuuuuuuuuuuuu."I moaned....

 ''Oh....Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" she moaned...Surprisingly enough..Monica got the most serene look on her face I have ever seen and she just smiled and leaned over and kissed my shoulder...She was shaking and sweating and a few tears were streaming down her face...

She kissed my shoulder and hugged me...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...Ohhhh My god...Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" she moaned quietly.....she began sweating profusely and tears began streaming down her face...She was having a massive orgasm...

She unzippered my trousers and put her hands down my boxers...I was as hard as a rock, she softly rubbed me...

"Ummmmmmmmm look at this...Woooooooooooooo...You're very hard..Ummmmmmm, very hard" she said smiling and began to softly rub my penis with her soft hands....

Now I was the one moaning and going crazy...

I unzippered her skirt and took it off...And slowly took her midriff off...She wasn't wearing a bra...which got me more excited...

Soon we were both out of out clothes and lying on the bed.

 We were kissing passionately .....It was just moments before I mounted her and entered her softly...

 I laid her across her bed , a few minutes later and I entered her softly and gently and began to stroke her softly and slowly....She moaned and put her arms around my neck and drew me closer to her..I kissed her neck, between her breasts, her cheeks....She continued to kiss my lips and my ears and my chest...

"Ohhh My God...Nate..ouuuu you are so hard....ouuuuuuuuuuu" she moaned..

"Ohhhhh Mo-Mo- You get me that way" I said.

She wrapped her legs around my waste and we began to move in a slow, yet deliberate rhythm for quite some time...She matched me thrust for thrust and even kissed my shoulder at one point...She was so soft...so moist and smelled so good...I was losing my mind....She was shaking and looking like she was on the verge of crying the entire time.......

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...OHHH MY GOODNESS...OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" she moaned loudly ,obviously not caring who heard us....

We made sweet passionate and intense love like this for FIVE TO SIX HOURS...Monica began to shake and gyrate and tears began to stream down her face again....I was surprised at how passionate she was ...

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....Oh my god Nate..." she moaned as the bed squeaked and the headboard slammed hard against the wall...

"Mo-mo....oh my godddddddddddddddddd!" I found myself moaning out loud...

"It's sooooooooooooooo goooddd...Oh my godddddddddddddd it's soooooo gooood Oh my Goddd Nate....ohhhhh don't stoppp, don't stopp...don't ever stop...ouuuuuuuuuuuu" she screamed as we both climaxed in a crescendo of sweat!

Monica held on to me for dear life and kept kissing me...Tears were flowing down her face like a gusher...

"Don't leave me Nate..." she said..

"I wouldn't dream of it baby..." I said...as I lifted her up , spread her legs and entered her again..

"Oh My God Nate...Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" she moaned as we went at each other hungrily....

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmph..." I moaned...She was so wet, so warm and felt so good...I couldn't control myself..

We wound up back on that bed....making sweet love...

ANOTHER THREE HOURS PASSED BY  before the both of us came together awash in sweat and tears....

''Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooou" Monica moaned almost musically...

She lie in between my legs and kissed my chest, while I played in her hair....We drifted off to sleep as a soft rain began to pour down...Almost as if it was cooling off the heat of today's explosion..



II-

Whatever I did, worked wonders because the next morning, Monica was in full detective mode...No longer depressed and staring into space..She was completely engaged and ready to get to work on this case..

 "This is Kylie's case...but we have to help her...She's helped us many times..."said Monica.

 "That goes without saying partner!"I said..

She kissed me passionately....

"Nate, thank you for last night..."she said...I just smiled...

"You coming?" she asked..

"In more ways than one after that kiss.."I said..

"You are soo silly." she laughed..


The two of us met Detective Kylie White and Lieutenant Cotton at the Medical Examiner's Office..

"Hi Sis, Brother In Law." said Monique as we entered.....

Kylie was already there with tumblers of coffee for us and Lieutenant Cotton...

"Okay, so this is what we got....Monique..."said Lt.Cotton...

''We've identified all five of the passengers of that Flying Taxi...by dental records, DNA and by credit card accounts on record for that time and day...

Nate you were right, the driver was 29 year old Stafford Linsey....and the other passengers was Francis Lydell, 35, Ben Grissom, 42, Bud Stewart, 56 and 18 year old Parker Fellington...They were all on their way to Spaceport...

"I'll notify next of Kin..."I said.

"Mo-Mo...let's cross reference their finances and talk to family, friends, co-workers, students..Anybody that knew them see if there was a pattern, if this was aimed at one or two of them..If they even knew each other.."said Kylie ,who was actually the primary...

"On it.." said Monica, who was kind of sad that the two of us weren't going to be working together...At least not today...

"All five of our victims were incinerated....burned beyond reason......and we found materials from a seperate flying vehicle..a drone....The FBI is looking at it and trying to discover where it came from, we should be getting a report from them soon..." said Monique..

"Kylie...the call you got yesterday...just before it happened?" asked Monica..

"I looked into it...You know the rest...It's from a protected number...So I called all of the local cell providers and got them to ping their cell....The call came from the same area in which you two were when the explosion occurred.."said Kylie..

''So we have to scan that crowd for anyone using a cell phone..."I said.

"Good luck with that Nate...there was about 100 or so people out there and all of them had smartphones and was taking photos of what happened or on the phone with someone..."said Lieutenant Cotton...

"I got a call too yesterday...right before we left...It was a male voice...Very cold, bland...He said..

"Things Go Boom!" said Monica...

"That's all he said? He didn't take credit or ask for anything?" asked Lt. Cotton..

"Nope! and it came from a protected number too!" said Monica..

"Oh My God!  I hope this isn't what I feel it may be..." said Lieutenant Cotton...

"That could have been a crackpot.." I said..

''I don't think so....Whoever this is..They're taunting us..

"Well guys..We've got our work cut out for us...Let's get to work....The Press is not being told about the drone...Right now, this is just an accident...Until we know more.."said Lieutenant Cotton.

III-

Monica and Kylie did the grunt work....

They checked the credit cards ,debit cards and bank accounts of all five victims,looking for anything out of the ordinary....

They talked to family members, friends and associates and class mates of the five deceased victims...None of these people knew each other and before getting in that flying taxi...their paths had never crossed...not in jury duty, not in school, not at work...They didn't even live near each other or have a friend in common..

Which was more terrifying...It was so random...

After I notified the next of kin...I put together a schedule of the last things these five people did on their last week of life ,leading up to their fatal flying taxi ride...There was nothing out of the ordinary for any of these people..

The three of us all wound up back at headquarters way past closing time...Monica laid her head in my arms and kissed me softer and more passionately than usual in public..

"Ummm,I missed working with you today honey bunny....Did you find anything worthwhile?" she asked..

"No, you guys?" I asked..

"No, these were just citizens...."said Kylie...

"I swear...it was almost like this was a dry run....Like whoever is behind this was testing his capability yesterday...."said Monica...

No sooner than the words came out of her mouth ,when Monica's phone rang....

She had a look of horror on her face...

"It's a protected number....."said Monica..

"HELLO DETECTIVE MONICA NELLIS, HOMICIDE!" she said..

"Things Go Boom!" came the voice....

Monica looked at Kylie, who put a trace on the call..

Kylie nodded..

"What do you want? Why did you kill innocent people yesterday?" asked Monica..

"They were collateral damage....Before I make my demands...I'm going to give you another demonstration of what I can do...and a clue....LOOK FOR IT! BOOOOM!" he said..

(Click!)

"I got it!! I pin pointed the area.....Let's go!" said Monica..

The three of us took my flying car and took off! Top Speed...

We found the street.....

The three of us converged on.....

A Smartphone....

We were wearing latex gloves...but it didn't matter...The smell of bleach told us that there was no fingerprints or DNA on this phone...

We checked the history and there was only three calls made on the phone..One to the precinct yesterday at 4:50, One made to Monica at around 6:00 pm and one made just twenty minutes ago to Monica..

"This is the phone that the calls were made from.....Whoever our friend is...He wanted us to find this phone...He's messing with us."I said..

"He's toying with us..."said Monica..

Next we heard a huge explosion!  So loud, it rocked the entire block!!!

We looked west...

"You hear that? It's from a few blocks away....."said Kylie...

"Those lofts down there..." I said..

"I can smell the smoke.."said Monica...

Fire trucks were already heading that way......

"How did they get the call so fast?" asked Monica..

''Yeah, how about that?" I asked.....
