Cleaning Up The Mess

It was a bloody mess...  The body of Frank White lay on the street, by the front door of his restaurant...blood pouring out of his head!!

Jake "Greasy Thumb" Gaskins body lie in the middle of the street....blood seeping out of his chest....his fat stubby fingers still clutching his pistol ,with the home made silencer...

Sissy, Sharon,Angie and I arrived on the scene.... The police already had the streets blocked off and was holding the Press and the people back...

CSI and police photographers were already blanketing the scene....

Hazel had already examined both bodies...but left them uncovered so that we could see them...

Sissy walked over to her detectives...

"What Happened?" she asked..

"My partner and I went from watching Don Dada to shadowing Jake"Greasy Thumb " Gaskins.."said Sirena..

"He got a phone call a little after ten from a blocked number...We don't know what was said, but he rushed out of his house like a bat out of hell and Sirena and I followed him.."said Hop..

"We were watching Frank White's people...."said Carlotta..

''I got a call from a blocked number saying that an attempt was going to be made on his life tonight and that I had a half an hour to stop it..Me and Junior and Top rushed here, but we were too late..Jake had pumped three bullets into the back of Frank White's head, just as all of us were driving up!!!..."said Tyriq...

''We ordered him to give himself up, We told him we had him dead to rights....He fired on us..He's crazy....He fired five times! Why did he do that?  He didn't have to do that"said Jimmy...

"I shot him dead..."said Hop...

"Not your fault....When he got released from prison....He swore he'd never return again...He had a hard time in prison...Harder than most...You five witnessed him actually executing Frank White...That's first degree murder for him...That's the end of the road for him...He knew that...He'd either spend the rest of his life in prison..or he'd wait years for a needle to take him out of his misery....This was the only way it was going to end for Jake "Greasy Thumbs" Gaskins....Death on His own terms....Suicide by Cop!" said Sissy ,grimly looking at both bodies...

The five uniformed officers on the scene told Sissy the same story.....

"The ballistics bares them out Sissy...This is the murder weapon....It was still in Jake's hands..."said Hazel...

''And all these bullets in the street bares him out..Something smells fishy though...How convenient for somebody to have the cops here right when Frank White is being executed....."said Angie..

"I was thinking the same thing Angie...What a mess..It's almost like...Somebody wanted you guys here in time to see this....I'm betting at the moment he died..Jake knew he had been betrayed by somebody...If only WE knew who.."I said, shaking my head and looking at the carnage...

Sissy grimaced...

''We are being played here...and it can only be one of two people...The only two left!" she said.

''We were up on Gaskins phone...That call he got is from a Blocked number...but we pinged the cell tower....It came out of North Philly, about a block from where you and Angie were Sissy..."said Sharon...

"Don Dada?" I asked..

"It couldn't have been...We had eyes on him and Chick..." said Sissy...

"It could have been one of his operatives Siss." said Angie..

''It could have been...Somebody sure wants us to think so huh?" said Sissy...

Just then , Lt. Tragg drove up...

''What's going on here Sissy?" he demanded to know..

''What does it look like?   Jake "Greasy Thumbs" Gaskins hit Frank White.... "said Sissy...

''Who hit Jake?"asked Lt. Tragg...

"My guys have been watching both of these guys...They got a tip and were here just in time to witness the hit...They asked Gaskins to surrender...He chose to shoot it out and he got the worst of it.."said Sissy...

"Hmmmm, What has this got to do with Big Uncle?" asked Lt. Tragg?

"Big Uncle? Who said anything about Big Uncle? he's in Detroit...Isn't he?" said Sissy...

"Look,don't be funny with me....I demand to know what the hell is going on.."said Lt. Tragg...

"And she just told you!.....The two guys we were watching just made it easier for us....Our night is done....If you want to go to Detroit and take down Big Uncle...be my guest.."said Sharon...

"Can I release the body?" asked Hazel...

"Yes..."said Sissy...She then looked at her detectives...

 "Good Work Guys...Take the next day off...Relax....." she said

 "Thank you Boss Lady.." said Carlotta, who looked at me and winked seductively....

I knew that meant another night of marathon sex like the night before..

I couldn't wait!

 "Thanks Siss.."said Tyriq...

 Jimmy put his arms around his wife Angie...

"I've missed you baby!"he said..

"I've missed you too!" she said and leaned her head into his shoulder..

 "Thanks Siss."said Sirena..who put her arms around her husband, Tyriq's waist...

Tyriq squeezed her rear end....

"Ouuuu cut it out freshie.....At least wait until we get home.."she chuckled..

Hop put his arm around Sharon....

"Guess we'll pick up where we left off.."he said..

"You know it baby..." said Sharon...

They all got in cars and pulled off...

The bodies of both gangsters were removed...

Lt. Tragg looked at Sissy...

"That's it huh?" he said..

"That's it for these two gangsters....Looks like we got lucky tonight..."said Sissy....She smiled and walked toward her car...

"Good Night Lieutenant Tragg.." she said..

He stood there...

''Well Lahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Deee Dah!" he said...

II-

Within the next few days....DEA Regional Special Agent in Charge ,Carol Redding and agents of the DEA and help from The Philly Narcotics unit got federal warrants for 39 associates of the late Jake "Greasy Thumbs" Gaskins

and arrested them all.....along with 50 members of rival drug crews...

FBI Deputy Special Agent in Charge, Sharon Hopkins and the FBI, along with Detectives and plain clothes men from Narcotics, Vice and Robbery Homicide served warrants and arrested 45 of the late Frank White's associates and impounded his vehicles and business interests....They also arrested 26 members of rival drug crews in the area.

And acting on anonymous tips....and evidence we had already pulled from our investigation...

Sissy and her detectives ,

 Carlotta!

 Tyriq!!

 Jimmy!

 Sirena!

 Hop!

and Angie...

arrested 47 associates and top lieutenants of Don Dada....with help from the Tactical Squad, Narcotics, Vice and Sharon and the FBI..

They closed down his bars, strip clubs and pawn shops....they broke the back of his financial empire.

They also arrested 37 members of rival drug crews in the area, guys who did business with him and provided him muscle...

Nobody was happier than me...Just like that...this murder of one of Big Uncle's men had helped us break the backs of three major Crime Syndicates...

I was only sorry we didn't get Don Dada and Chick....but we got their people....and a number of his businesses...We had all but put Frank White and Jake Gaskins out of business and hurt Don Dada  bad enough that he couldn't capitalize on his two partners being gone!!

III-

The Mood in "Copland" couldn't have been happier..

Eddie C. had Burgers and Franks on the grill and beer ready for us...

"If I ever lose my job...I can get a new one as a caterer." he joked and held his wife, Sissy on his lap...

She was jubilant...

''And the best thing... Lieutenant Tragg didn't get in our way and foul up our case.."she said.

"Part of that is because he doesn't know where we are working from and got no information about our case.."said Angie..

Carlotta was sitting on my lap...She had unzippered my trousers and had her hands down my pants, fondling me softly under the table...

I was close to exploding...She kept looking at me and smiling...I was speechless and slowly going crazy.....

Sirena and Tyriq weren't even listening to our conversation...They were just kissing..

as was Sharon and Hop.

They were always kissing and they never hung out with us too much outside of work...I wondered if they spent that entire time in the bed... If they did...I couldn't blame em...Hop never complained..

"I'm going to the airport to get Duke...You wanna come Ang?" asked Jimmy...

Angie nibbled on his ear...

"I do want to cum.....a LOT!" she whispered...and then laughed as Jimmy turned as red as a beet and nearly fainted..

With all of the passionate kissing going on....and heavy breathing....none of us was going to be around when they got back...

IV-

It wasn't hard to spot Edwin"Duke" Baylor in the Airport...

His trademark Fedora and his tailored suits made him stand out amongst men...and made Black women and some white women swoon....

"There he is..."said Jimmy,laughing...

"Heyyyyyyyyyy partner."said Angie...hugging him...

''So from what I saw on the news....You guys have been busy...You took down two of our targets huh?
Frank White!  Rico and I tried to put a tag on him years ago..and you guessed it, Most of the witnesses met untimely ends and those that didn't got bad cases of amnesia...Now he's dead!"said Duke laughing...

''We got a tip and we rolled up on Greasy Thumbs shooting him in the back of the head...That crazy hot head Greazy Thumbs then tried to shoot it out with us..and got himself killed..."said Jimmy.

"These guys are scared to death of Big Uncle...at least three of em are....One of em is working with Big Uncle..."said Duke..

"Who?" asked Angie..

"That I don't know.....but my guess is...either Frank White or Greazy Thumb Gaskins thought that one or the other killed Frenchie and that's why Frank White was killed....To send a message to Big Uncle that they were just as appalled by this as he was...To keep his soldiers out of Philly..."said Duke..

''Did Big Uncle buy it?"asked Angie..

''I don't think so.....I got a lot to tell you guys...but first..I wanna see my wife..."said Duke..

"Get in...Her shift is over anyway....We'll pick her up.."said Jimmy as they sped off...

While at the Medical Examiner's Office.....Lieutenant Tragg was paying Hazel a visit..

"Mrs. Baylor.." he said.

''Doctor Baylor."said Hazel..

"You've got three unclaimed bodies in this morgue....One is French Robinson....Now I know he is Big Uncle's main man out of Detroit.....And you've got Jake ''Greazy Thumb"Gaskins and Frank White...Now these are big time playas.....Now I don't know about Lt. Sissy Van Buren...but I don't intend to let this city become a bloody battleground...Now I need to know what is going on and I need to know now!" he said..

"These men are dead Lieutenant....The first man ,found floating in the river was shot three times in the chest...and dropped in the water sometime later...I can't determine time of death....the body was cold and rigor was setting in....We have called next of kin in Detroit to arrange for pick up...That murder is still open..."said Hazel..

''What about the other two?" asked Lt. Tragg.

"Well you were there yourself... Two Rival gangsters beefing over territory...One killed the other and one was killed by law enforcement when he resisted arrest.."said Hazel..

"And that's it?" he asked.

"That's all I know..."said Hazel...

"No, you know more....You're a cop's wife and you're tight with Sissy.....I KNOW YOU KNOW MORE....NOW SPILL IT!!!" said Lt. Tragg..

''Excuse me!! I don't work for you and I don't answer to you..How dare you try to order me to do anything.."said Hazel...

"I can have you brought up on Obstruction of Justice charges...." he said..

''Well Lieutenant, Do what you feel...but I'm not saying another word regarding these bodies.."said Hazel...

She knew he was bluffing...She didn't have to tell him anything...This wasn't his case....

Just then, her husband....Duke Baylor walked in....

"Hey Babes.." he said..

"Duke!!!" she said and ran into his arms..

This kissed passionately.......

Lt. Tragg noticed Duke had luggage.....

"You've been out of town Detective?" he asked..

"Yeah,I'm just getting back..." said Duke ,who ignored him and took his wife to the car ,where Jimmy and Angie were waiting...

Lt. Tragg immediately got in his car and attempted to follow them.....

"This clown is following us..."said Jimmy....

"Drive through the park baby!" said Angie...

Jimmy drove through the park,using Angie's directions ...and it took him no time to lose Lt. Tragg....

Who got confused and wound up driving out the same way he came in....

 "Damn it! " he said in anger...He immediately called the Deputy of Operations with his concerns...and got an ear full..

"Art,let me explain this to you.....That task Force is operating from a secret, need to know Federal Facility, which is why you haven't seen Sissy or her detectives much....They've been working with the feds for two months....They've made cases on 220 people...Two of four Crime Kingpins are now dead and their organizations are smashed....Another guy they're looking at has had his operation significantly crippled..See?  All that and no negative publicity....No foolishness...Just good solid police work....None of the fiascos you've been involved with lately...No sexual impropriety......Now I'm going to say this one last time....Leave Lt. Sissy Van Buren Alone!   This is her case and she has a free hand in running it how she sees fit..without interference from YOU!

If I hear of her or any of her detectives complaining about you...YOU WILL BE SUSPENDED....IS THAT CLEAR!" he yelled..

"Yes sir, sir!" said Lt. Tragg...

"Now go get laid or something......but lay off her case....Good Night Artie." he said.

''What is wrong with him?" asked Hazel...

''He's bored.."laughed Duke...who kissed her passionately...

"Ummmm, I missed this."said Duke..

"Oh Hush up.."giggled Hazel

Back at our headquarters.... There was no one stirring...

All of us were in our rooms with our partners...

making sweet love.....

You could hear bed springs squeaking and headboards slamming against the wall coming from many rooms...

"It is late...I'll talk to them in the morning.." said Duke...who spun around..

Angie and Jimmy were already gone, Already in their room with the door closed..

 in a hot shower, kissing passionately as hot soapy water ran down their bodies...

Hazel took Duke by the hand...

''We've got a lot of catching up to do..." she said softly....

Soon they were in their room making sweet love...

We had accomplished a lot this week... We still had more work to do..
