The Mystery of Moon River

PHILADELPHIA 2042-

''Nattttttttttttttttttttte , you are soooooooooooooo bad.....you always want it..."she giggled...

Monica laughed as she sat on top of me in bed...

It was the last day of our vacation....We reported back to work tomorrow...

We were laughing, kissing and wrestling on the bed....

"Nattttte, stopppppppppppppppppppppp.." she cooed..

"I can't read minds, but I know you don't want me to.."I laughed...

I had already slipped her night shirt off ...

"Horn Dog!!....You know I don't want you to stop....You knowwww I don't, ummmmmmmmm" she said..

and was about to slip her panties off next....

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuu you are sooooooooooooooooooo baddddd..." Monica laughed....

We kissed passionately.....by now we were both totally naked....Monica was softly rubbing my penis ,which was as hard as a brick....

"Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..." she moaned..

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh lorddddddddddddddd.." I gasped...

Soon I had her legs parted and was entering her slowly....

"Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww baby.." I moaned..

"Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, Nate...." she moaned...

.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...I can't believe how good this feels! After all this time...Ummmmmmmm" she moaned..

"Me neither!" 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....

"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....I loveeee you! " she screamed....

"I love you too Mo-Mo..." I said..

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Nate...Oh My god..."swooned Monica..

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Mo-Mo, you are driving me crazy...this is sooooooooooooo damn good.." he moaned..

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Nate..Give it to me..Give it to me daddy..Give it to meeeee...Wooooooooooooooou... " she cooed...

''Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww lawd girl.." I howled..

"You are showing off in this bed partner...you are just showing off......Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu you are showing the hell off....GIVE IT TO ME, GIVE IT TO ME!!!!! GIVE IT TO ME STRONG!!! YESSSSSS!"

The massive bed was squeaking up a storm and the headboard was slamming hard against the wall..

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

 She began to blow softly in my ear ,in between soft , wet kisses..which turned me on even more...and within twenty minutes... I exploded like a gusher ...Holding her tightly....Her body shook a little too..Tears ran down the side of her face..her body began shaking and her head turned from side to side...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...myyy goodnessss..Ouuuuuuuuuuuuu NATE...I LOVE YOUUUUU!!!!!" she exclaimed...still shaking like a church woman testifying......

We continued to hold each other for a few minutes....

She threw her night shirt back on....

''Shame we have to go back to work tomorrow"

"I know...but the best thing about it...Is I still get to spend my day with you..."I said...

''Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.." she said..

and planted a wet, sloppy kiss on my lips..

II-

A DAY LATER!

 We  were inside an apartment where a young man lie dead in the middle of the floor, in a pool of his own blood.

There had been a murder....This is what my wife and I do...We investigate homicides..

 My wife, Detective Monica Talbert -Nellis knelt down and felt the pulse....

"Body is still warm...He hasn't been dead long..." she said..

I looked around...

"Place smells like bleach....My guess is ,it was wiped down thorougly."I said...

CSI personell were still going over the place with a fine tooth comb... Police photographers were snapping photos of the body from every angle...

Me and two uniformed patrolmen were doing an apartment to apartment search for anybody who might have seen anything..

The place was huge and nice with wooden floors that were buffed so well you could see your reflection in them...

"Who is the victim?" asked my wife, Detective Monica Nellis..

Who was looking for some form of identification...

Several Police cars were in the area...Several uniforms had the area blocked off...A crowd of people had gathered outside the apartment complex....

.

"His name is Avril Davis...Cause of death two GSW (Gun Shot wounds ) to the head..."said her identical twin sister..Chief Medical Examiner and Forensic investigator, Dr. Monique Talbert-Cotton..My sister in law ...

I walked back into the apartment  with two uniformed policemen...

''Nobody saw anything..but we did recover these two slugs.. Two neighbors say they heard a fierce argument between two men about two hours ago...

"That's about right....Body temperature and lividity says he's been dead about two hours..."said Monique.

"His apartment was tossed....Whoever he was arguing with was looking for something..." said Monica, who looked at me funny...

I knew she had read my mind...and knew that I had found something....and that I wanted her to be quiet...just in case the killer was in the crowd of people that was mulling around...

Just then another Flying car...Larger than mine appeared and was landing...

On it was our boss, Lieutenant Frankie Cotton Jr.  , as well as our brother in law...

He is married to my wife Monica's identical twin sister, Dr. Monique Talbert-Cotton... He pins a gardenia on his wife's dress..

Monique giggles....He surprisingly does not run his hands up her skirt or try to kiss her..

He places a gardenia on his sister in law, Monica's skirt...

Monica can read his mind and sense his trepidation....It's because of who he is with...

Inspector, Rod Druss.....U.S. Treasury Agent....At one time , A detective on the Philadelphia Police force.

"Inspector Druss, this is my wife, Dr. Monique Cotton, Chief Medical Examiner...and..." said Lt. Cotton..

"I'm quite aware of your wife, Lieutenant....I saw the wedding announcements...Hello Mrs. Cotton." he said gruffly...

"Hello Inspector." said Monique...

''Who are the case detectives?" he asked.

"These are two of my best... Detectives Monica Nellis and Nate Nellis.." said Lieutenant Cotton..

"Hello Inspector.." I said..

"Hello Inspector.."said Monica..

"I've heard of you two...Very High clearences....Married to each other eh?   Dr. Cotton is your sister huh?   Nice...What is the cause of death?" he asked..

''He was shot in the head twice sir...We recovered the slugs...Little else.."I said..

"This place have any cameras..inside I mean..?" he asked..

''They were disabled, probably by the killer...We are looking for prints though... "said Monica...

"You find anything in there?" he asked me sternly...

'Yes sir...This bottle..."I said.

I showed him a plastic medicine bottle, the type you'd keep pills in..

He went to snatch it..

"I'll take it.." he said..

''Sir this is evidence...We haven't dusted it for prints.."I said..

"I SAID I'LL TAKE IT DETECTIVE!!!" he bellowed..

I passed him the bottle...

"You didn't find anything else?  " he asked..

"No sir.."I lied..

He passed the bottle to a uniform policeman and then looked at Lieutenant Cotton..

''Dust it for prints and let me know immediately when you find out who they belong to.." he said.

''Yes sir..." said Lt. Cotton..

He put the bottle in a plastic bag and slipped it to me...

"I'll see you guys back at the squadroom he said..

"Lou...What does the Treasury department have to do with this case?  Our victim?" asked Monica..Who would tell me later...She could sense Inspector Druss was concealing something in the back of his mind...

"I don't know exactly...This guy was involved in something heavy on the Moon.."said Lt. Cotton..

''The Moon? What's he doing here in Philly? On Earth?" I asked..

"And that is the question Detective...I'll talk to you guys later."said Lt. Cotton.

They got in the flying limo and took off..

III-

The body was put in a white body bag, strapped to a gurney and headed for the Medical Examiner's office.

"Maybe I'll know more when I get him to the morgue..See you guys later.."said Monique...

''Okay Sis.."said Monica. Then she turned to me..

"That was a nice bluff....You gave him an empty bottle.." she said..

I smiled..

''What he really wanted was this..."I said.

I produced a zip drive I found in the bottle..

"Yeah...I wonder why? He's not the person I thought would be looking for this... said Monica.

"I scanned his mind...He seemed really afraid about something, I couldn't determine what...His thoughts are so jangled...and he didn't believe you when you told him you didn't find anything else..So give me that Zip drive...I'll stuff it in my bra.."said Monica..

"I uh ,didn't think you were wearing a bra.." I said and smiled sheepishly...

"I know you didn't...but just to clear your mind of any lurid thoughts.."she said and pulled me to the side and  showed me..

She was wearing a Black micro bra with pink butterflies on it...

My eyes nearly popped out of my head...

"WOW!" I exclaimed..

"Pass me the Zip drive silly goose.." she laughed....

I passed her the bottle and the Zip drive and she put the Zip drive in her bra...and the bottle in her purse.

"Come on partner, let's get out of here.." she said..

We got  in my flying car and took off..

IV-

There were a lot more flying cars in downtown Philadelphia than it had been when I first bought this car a few years ago...

Sometime later...We arrived back in the squadroom and I passed the bottle

to our friend, Detective Kylie White..

''What's this?" she asked.

"The Only thing I found at a murder scene...Could you run it down to the lab for me and see if they find any prints? "I asked.

''Sure"said Kylie..

''Don't Look now partner...but we have company..."said Monica..

Inspector Druss returned to our squadroom..

"You got that bottle?" he asked..

"It's being examined for prints..."I said..

''And that's all you found was that bottle?  Nothing in it?" he asked..

"Nothing like what sir?" asked Monica innocently....Scanning his mind and sensing fear, an unexplained fear....

"I uh don't know....Maybe that was a prescription or something...Strange it was at a murder sight and that's ALL you find of interest.." he said..

Monica sent me a telepathic message..."He's Lying partner..."she said.

"The place was bleached down...CSI guys found no prints or DNA, not even the victims...The cameras inside the apartment complex were disabled..and we have two slugs from a .25 caliber
pistol...That's it...We can't even find any credit cards or debit cards..."I said.

"Our Victim, Avril Davis was an Insurance Investigator...He was employed by Luna Insurance..He had just moved into the apartments...He paid on line...He had just recently arrived here from Luna City on the Moon.."said Monica..

"I told you these were two of my very best..."said Lt. Cotton proudly...

Kylie returned just then...

"The prints are of Avril Davis....Former Vice Detective, Luna City Police Department....Retired, Did a 3 year stint in the Moon Territorial Magnetic Prison, Released , Was now an Insurance Investigator.. Had just moved here a month ago.."said Kylie..

"Was his P.I. License valid?." I asked..

"Yes, it checked out.."said Kylie..

''That's all we have on our victim right now."I said.

He stared at me hard...

"AND THIS WAS ALL YOU FOUND?? NOTHING ELSE??" he asked..

Monica looked at him funny...by scanning his mind, she knew he already knew everything we had just told him...

"Yes sir.."I lied again...

Monica giggled...

He stared at me hard...

"Keep me up on this investigation..here is my phone number...and my email address,let me know IF YOU DO FIND SOMETHING!." he said..

"Inspector Druss...What is your interest in this particular case?" asked Lieutenant Cotton..

"JUST KEEP ME APPRAISED OF THE INVESTIGATION!!" he said loudly and stormed out...

''What's with him?" asked Kylie...

"That's what I'd like to know.."I said..

"He knows there was a zip drive  in that bottle, He doesn't believe you.."said Monica..

''Well let's see what all the fuss is about." I said..

''Let's come in my office and take a look.."said Lt. Cotton, looking around and motioning, Monica, Kylie, and myself in his office.

He closed the door and locked it and drew his shades..

We popped the Zip Drive into his Laptop...

We saw a power point presentation and animated production, showing downtown Luna City on the moon

and leading to a river on the Moon..

It was beautiful...

"Oh My god...It's beautiful..."said Monica..

"You mean there is water on the Moon?  Natural water? Who Knew..??"said Kylie..

''I knew...I read about the discovery of a river basin on the moon a year ago..."I said.

''And I thought all you studied up on was panties and bras...namely mine?" said Monica in a telepathic message to me..

I smiled at her..

She giggled at me...

''Sharing thoughts again? You two are so cute when you do that,,,,Care to share?" said Kylie..

"NOOOO!" we both said in unison...

"Look!" said Lieutenant Cotton..

"That's our victim, Avril Davis, getting into a Mini Sub on the moon..."said Lt. Cotton..

"And look what he's observing down there...Gold coins..."he said..

"They've got to be worth millions...Ouuuuu this is like a mystery movie.."said Monica..

"Somebody killed him because they wanted to know the location of that treasure...but who?" I asked..

''Let's go back to that crime scene...I'm bettin we'll find somebody rooting around in there...And this time,maybe we'll get some answers.."said Monica..

"Wanna come with Kylie?" I asked..

''Why not?...You guys get all of the fun cases..."she laughed..

"Tread lightly guys...Hand me that Zip Drive...I'm locking it in my safe...Just in case you run into a certain inspector who demands you produce...."WHAT YOU DIDN'T FIND!" he said..and laughed...

IV-

The three of us raced back through the city to the last know residence of Avril Davis..

"Our victim worked for an insurance company...he must have been looking for something, something insured heavily by his insurance company..."I said..

Like those gold coins at the bottom of that river on the moon." said Monica...

''So I'm guessing they were stolen, heavily insured..He knew where they were.." said Kylie..

"Or he stole them and placed them there.."I said..

"Husbanddd...You've got to have more faith in your fellow man..." said Monica,laughing...

All we could do is speculate as we raced to the crime scene again..

Upon our arrival we heard a ruffling in the apartment...

''We've got company guys..." said Kylie..

''Wanna make a bet who's in here?" I asked Monica..

''Don't let him intimidate you bae...Fed or Not,You're the Primary....He can't interfere with your investigation unless he's your immediate supervisor, which he isn't.." said Monica..."Wait a minute...I'm hearing different thoughts..getting a different vibe.."said Monica..

"I'm so glad you can do that..."laughed Kylie, who had just learned recently that Monica was a mutant...A Mutant who could hear thoughts and feel emotions of those around her..

The door was ajar...I pulled my glock, Kylie kicked the door in...and Monica and I rushed in Glocks drawn....

Only to find...

DETECTIVE CARLOS WALLACE, Luna City Police Department...

He smiled shyly...

"Hey guys.....Kylie, Nate...Monica....

 "Carlos???"

 ''What are you doing at our crime scene?" I asked..

"Carlos??" said Monica..

"Nice Dress Monica!" he said and smiled sheepishly...
