Pants Down

"Kevin...It wasn't your fault about what happened to Charlie Green." said Sepia..

"I know." I said.. but I felt a deep sadness that he was dead...

Yes you could argue , he was using his information for extortion and obstruction of justice...but was I any better, Breaking and entering and theft of his private property?

He and I were both Private Investigators and both hired by some pretty heavy hitters... Neither of us had anything to do with our employers issues...We were just collecting a check...Taking a job...We weren't cops...Neither of us...

But he was dead and I wasn't... You could charge that to the game...I suppose...but that still didn't stop me from feeling a deep sadness that this game had cost him his life... The least I could do was follow the money trail and find out who did this dastardly deed and make them pay...

I was sorry I wouldn't be working with Sissy and her guys....Lt. Tragg would never solve this case..He was an idiot as far as I was concerned...So I'd have to really work around him..

"Come to bed...I've got something that will make you feel better." said Sepia , who took our sleeping daughter upstairs and put her in the bed...

I lie across the bed, watching Sepia undress and brush her hair...At last my mind was off of Charlie Green..

Sepia dimmed the lights...She turned on our system...My music streaming service was playing quiet storm R&B music...

I took her in my arms and slipped her white sheer babydoll off...I slipped her panties off and unhooked her bra.....

Soon we were in the middle of the floor ,naked  and kissing passionately... under the moonlight from the window...

"You feel better now bae?" asked Sepia in between hot sensuous kisses..

''Oh yeah, much better now.." I said.

"I thought you would." she said..

Sepia's kisses were soft and slow and were driving me crazy...She knew it too and began kissing me even slower and softer and softly rubbing my growing erection...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh lawdddd!" I moaned..

 "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh husband....ummmmmmmmmmmm, you're so hard!" she moaned...

I lifted Sepia's petite frame up and entered her slowly....she was good and wet and as warm as an oven....

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she moaned as I moved slowly in and out of her....She felt so good, I was going crazy...."Sepia...Sepia...You are irresistable."I moaned...squeezing her tight...

 ''Am I?  Work me..Work me daddy...Work me like a job!!." she said in between more kisses.

 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 husband....Ouuuuuuuuu!" she moaned....

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

Eventually , we wound up on top of the bed, making sweet love...For the next SEVEN TO EIGHT HOURS!

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

I couldn't believe this was the same woman whose photos of her in bikinis on her blog, I used to salivate over..I never dreamed I'd actually meet her, let alone have a baby with her...Sometimes dreams do come true..

I couldn't get enough of Sepia...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Kevin...ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..." she moaned softly...

 Sepia 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....

Sepia thought she was calming me down by kissing my neck and my cheek, but that was exciting me even more...Finally, I was drained of all energy as well as bodily fluids...

"Wowwwwwwwwww, we both needed that." she said,lying across my body...

I smiled..

''We did!"I said..




II-

The next morning after a delicious breakfast...I kissed both of my girls..Sepia and Kimmie...As Sepia strapped her to the car seat and then got in herself..

"Tell daddy Bye Kimmie.."said Sepia.."And you stop worrying about that guy, Charlie Green." she said.

She gave me a slow soft kiss...

"Ummm that felt like a bedroom kiss.." I said smiling..

"It was.." she said and winked as they both pulled off....

I met with Attorney and fellow Investigator, Bonnie Shay...Being a former Public defender and Assistant District Attorney in New York gave her great insights to criminal investigations..

I gave her a complete run down of my case....

We knew that Lt. Tragg was going to question Charlie Green's family, friends, close associates...We didn't bother...None of them was going to know anything about this case or any of Charlie's cases..We knew that whoever killed him took him somewhere, out of sight so he could "work on him.."He wouldn't show up on any Street,Traffic or Business cams..And there would be nothing in Charlie Green's home or office that would give him any clues as to his current case...I wonder if Tragg would have enough sense to check his bank account?  Probably not!

But Bonnie played a hunch..

"He had to meet him somewhere...Snatch him..." said Bonnie..

"You're right.." I said.

She hacked into the street cam just long enough to see Charlie Green leaving his apartment and getting into a car with a strange man...

We got a license plate number... Turned out, the car was reported stolen...

We ran the man's face through facial recognition...and we got nothing...It was as if this fellow didn't exist...

Sounded like the kind of guy Sergei Koslow would have hired...

"Okay...Let's follow the money trail..." said Bonnie..

"It's as good a place to start as any.." I said..

We traced Charlie's phone calls to a number that was in Norway....I knew that this number was rerouted there and that it was actually local...We traced the number to an empty Apartment complex here in Philadelphia...

We traced his bank payments...and there had been three, totaling a quarter of a million dollars to a bank account in the Caymen Islands...Not the fraudulent account Tony Richardson was investigating, but another account belonging to Vladmir Flynt of Philadelphia..

This Flynt wasn't his real name...His real name was Illyach Kosigin. What we did find out was that he was a Russian National..Ex Russian Air Force, Ex KGB...Now listed simply as a Financier,Living in Philadelphia..

It took a lot of digging but eventually we found an address...and a Pennsylvania and D.C. License photo....The photos were of none other than our mysterious man seen walking Charlie Green to his car..The last known sighting of Charlie Green ,alive...The Pennsylvania License read Vladmir Flynt...The D.C. License read Eric West...Both the same man....

"Bon-Bon...You did it.." I said.

''We did it Kevin." she said.

"I have a face and a name and an address." I said.. ''A suspect in a murder....My guess is...He is employed by Sergei Koslaw..."I said..

''So what now?" she asked.

"Time for me to call Mr. Jones..This type of job requires his brand of expertise!" I said.

"Be careful....I'm glad I could be of help.." said Bonnie..

I kissed her forehead..

"Thank You Bon-Bon.." I said.

III-

Kool Kat and I drove about a block from the creepy looking apartment complex in the Northeast section of the city...

''Damn Kev....This looks like a housing project some of the brothers live in...You sure white folks live up in here?" he asked...

"This is the address I got." I said as I rejoined him in the car... I had just disabled the Street Cam....

''Let's go in...If I'm right...Charlie Green's Killer will be caught with his pants down." I said.

I couldn't have been more wrong....

"I'll go up the front way...You cover me from the back.... Use the Taser....I want this guy taken alive.."I said.

Kool Kat grimaced...

"Awwwww....Okay man, you're the boss..." he said...

I entered the building through the front and eased my way down the hallway....

This guy...Illyach Kosigin was a trained  ex-KGB agent .He was not the average guy we went up against as I was to find out....

I didn't hear him slip up behind me in the hallway...but he did and he put a garotte around my neck and squeezed hard....I dropped my gun....

He was choking the life out of me...

We were about the same age....He was strong as hell..He was squeezing the breath out of me and practically lifting me off of the ground...I took what strength I had left and kicked him in his groin as hard as I could...He grunted, but he loosened up his hold just enough for me to elbow him in his jaw, snapping his head back and sending him flying...

I didn't have the time to catch my breath before he was heading toward me....He was silent, didn't waste a lot of time talking..I liked that.

I landed some good lefts and rights to his body, but he was equally good with his hands...he landed some good lefts and rights to mine...I countered and landed some lefts and rights to his face, but he equaled me with some well placed lefts and rights to mine...

  I could feel him getting winded...I cracked him hard in his jaw and saw blood trickle from his mouth...I cracked him again and saw the sweat fly off of his face...I hit him in his stomach and he bent down in obvious pain..I landed some more lefts and rights to his jaw which sent him into the wall...and down on the  floor of his apartment..He lay there for a minute...still conscious and  breathing heavy...I was holding my neck and still gasping for air...

I stumbled into the hallway....He got up off the floor and charged me...Again... I landed some good lefts and rights to his body, but he was equally good with his hands...he landed some good lefts and rights to mine...I countered and landed some lefts and rights to his face, but he equaled me with some well placed lefts and rights to mine...


I cracked him hard in his jaw and he fell up against the wall....His face was swollen...his lips were bleeding...His left eye was practically closed...He was in obvious pain and breathing heavy....

Kool Kat stepped into the corridor  just then and aimed his taser at him...His body jerked furiously...then he fell up against the wall...He looked at me, then he looked at Kool Kat....Stunned! He managed a weak smile, then fell to the ground with a thud...He was out cold...

"Good Lookin out big man...."I said..


We tied him up and dragged him back into his apartment...

There I found a gun with a home-made silencer....I put it in a plastic bag.......

''What now?" asked Kool Kat...

I shrugged....

"Unfortunately...I have to call the case detective and this one doesn't wear heels or smell good or have a nice pleasing to eye figure.."I said.

''So I take it, it's not Sissy." said Kool Kat...smiling..

"No, it's Lt. Tragg." I said.

IV-

Lt. Tragg arrived alone...

''You didn't bring back up?" I asked  incredulously..

''What have you got Morris?" he asked ,ignoring my question...and looking at the bloody and unconscious man on the floor..

"This is more than likely the killer of Charlie Green...."I said and passed him a plastic bag with the gun and the silencer..

"That is more than likely the murder weapon.....Run a ballistics check to make sure...I traced the money trail from Charlie Green's last case....It came from an account in the Caymen islands listed to this man , who has two phony drivers licenses.."I said and showed him my photos of his phony licenses...

"This is who he really is....Illyach Kosigin, ex KGB....Now a mercenary,posing as a Financier.."I said.

''Why did he kill Charlie Green? ,Who is he workin for?"asked Lt. Tragg...

"Come on....I gave you a closed case and a murder weapon...You want me to solve the whole crime for you..?" I said...  "Come on Kools...Let's go.  You can thank us later."I said .

Kool Kat smiled and waved.....

Only Lt. Tragg could have screwed this up....

Kool Kat and I were gone....He was there with a suspect...He should have called back up...He should have came with back up....Instead...He called a press conference...

While he was on the phone....Illyach Kosigin escaped from his bonds...came up behind Lt.Tragg and gave him the beating of his life and knocked him out... Took his suit Jacket, His trousers, his socks and shoes AND his glock nine!!!!

He bound and gagged him and sat him on the toilet, closed the bathroom door and left....

A Police car eventually drove up...

The officers heard Lt. Tragg in the bathroom..

"Get me out of here...Help!  Get me outttttttt!" he yelled..

His eye was black...His lip was swollen...He was clad in only his shirt,which was stained with his blood..,his  tie and boxer shorts...He didn't even have socks and shoes on...

"He stole my gun..." was all Lt. Tragg said to the officer..

The other officer was laughing...

"Something Funny here?  What s your badge number?? I'll be speaking with your Sergeant Officer." he snarled...

The Press arrived......

To their shock and surprise...Lt. Tragg was led out of the Apartment complex in his boxer shorts....It was all over the news that he had cornered a murder suspect and been taken down...His gun among other things missing...and he was found on the toilet, bound and gagged...

The Police Department was a buzz.....The embarrassment was tempered only by department wide laughter.....

I was home with Sepia and Kimmie watching in horror on the news as Lt. Tragg

 was brought out of the apartment in his underwear...Any other time I might have laughed...but this was tragic...This guy had just goofed up our case...A killer was on the loose and it would not be as easy to track him down now...He would go to ground and with his training...He'd be able to do that a lot better than the average guy!

I couldn't believe he'd screwed this up!  Then again...I could!

Sepia and Kimmie were hysterical......My phone rang!

It was Sissy...She was laughing so hard she could barely talk...

"Kevin....I know...I Know..I know that that was you who figured out who the killer was and captured him...No way Lt. Tragg would have figured this out on his own..." she said..

''Siss, I gave him the murder weapon and everything...He should have come with back up...."I explained..

"Yes he should have!  He came alone....He wanted to be all John Wayne with it..Oh My god and he called the press...Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh lord.....my detectives can't concentrate on their work...I told em all to go to lunch ,they are all laughing so hard....and you should see the uniforms..None of them can keep a straight face..

Keith Wallace callled me and was laughing so hard....he couldn't get the words out of his mouth!!!"she said...

"I would have preferred working with you..and your people.." I said.

"I know, I know and we wanted to work with you....But, there is one silver lining in all this...the killer left behind the gun in a plastic bag...

We did a ballistics check....This is the murder weapon in the Charlie Green Case...and the fingerprints and DNA on the gun are a match for .Illyach Kosigin aka as Vladmir Lynch aka Eric West, a suspect in a DC Murder in which this gun was used also....There is a BOLO out for him right now...Two counts of First Degree Murder and one count of Assault of a police officer...but the Charlie Green murder is down!! So is that murder in D.C. from last spring!!!Thank You again!" said Sissy...

''You're always welcome......Tell Sharon to put extra protection on U.S. Attorney Tony Richardson...I think this man has orders from his boss, Sergei Koslaw to kill him...Oh...I suppose I should be telling Lt. Tragg ,it still is his case..."I said.

''Not anymore!!!...It's My case now!!!...The Deputy Of Operations took him off the case and assigned it to me and my unit.....but I'll tell Sharon what you said." said Sissy...

"As funny as this is...I feel sorry for Lt.Tragg....I gave him a closed case...As it looks now, Two closed murder cases....He had it in his hands....I can't believe he blew this."I said..

''I can!  Think of who you're talking about Kevin! Right now...His only mission is to find his pants.."said Sissy ,who dropped her phone....

I could still hear her laughing in the background...
