Compromised

I had done my initial investigation....  The girls and I had been out to breakfast and were returning...

I had been a cop a long time and I knew when I saw the strange unmarked van sitting across the street,

more than one day....I knew something was a foot...

I didn't know that somebody had rented a room in one of the apartments across the street from us and was snapping photos of each of us..

We sat in our conference room..

I was still cautious, but we began to talk...

''So, what do we know?" asked my wife, Olivia..

"We know that Michael Stratton was highly allergic to Walnut Oil based products...A Fact I confirmed from his Doctor.."said Beverly...

''We know that he told more than a few people about his allergies and he was very careful about what he ate...Bev and I talked to States Attorney Kathryn Peters

and her aide, Barbara Jessup's yesterday."  said Nelson..

"Her aide acted as if she was...Well like she is in love with Kathryn Peters....She was jumping up getting her water, coffee, tea, Answering her questions before she could answer them...She was getting on my nerves a bit.."said Beverly...

''And she had no idea that the lipstick had a walnut oil base?" asked Olivia.

''She said she had no idea...I mean in all fairness, Do we check the ingredients in the lipstick we buy Auntay?" asked Beverly...

"I know I don't..."said Olivia...

''Well you both better...I kiss you both a whole lot and I don't want to be falling out."  I laughed..

We all busted out laughing...

"Her damn assistant asked the same question....Does your wife check the ingredients in her lipstick?"said Nelson..."I wanted to smack her.."added Nelson.

"Truth be told...The only reason I allowed her to be in the interview at all was because she was there that night, but she was no help..."said Beverly...

"The fact is...Somebody knew....Somebody researched this....and somebody deliberately filled an epi pin with Walnut Oil..and switched his real epi pin..."said Josie..

''Arthur says the first time he knew that Micheal Stratton was a vegan was two days ago in our office and he knew of none of his allergies..Also...No fingerprintswere found on the epi pin except  States Attorney  Peters and she was trying to save his life.." said Olivia...

She looked at me..

"You okay honey bunny, you're awful silent this morning.?" she said..

I motioned for everybody to walk into the kitchen....I turned the water on loud....

I whispered to them...

"We've been bugged.....That gray truck that's been sitting across the street for two days is a police survielience van... I've been a cop too long not to recognize one..

''And someone is in the window across the street,

is snapping photos of our comings and goings..." I whispered..

''What should we do?" asked Beverly...

''Well we shouldn't let on that we know.." said Olivia with a devilish grin that got me a little aroused..

"No, just keep talking, but don't discuss strategy or anymore case related stuff..."I said..

Just then I got a text....

"MEET ME IN AQUA BAR ASAP.....STOP TALKING IN YOUR OFFICE!"

I didn't know who it was from....but I showed it to Olivia, Beverly, Nelson and Josie..

 ''Oh wow, this thing has really gotten cloak and dagger.."said Olivia

 "I'll say...let's lay off the specifics of this case.."said Beverly...

 "Yeah..."said Nelson..

''Away from home,I'm used to this...Not At home.." said Josie..

"I'm going to Aqua Bar to meet whoever....You guys take five.."I said..

Olivia pulled me to her...

She kissed me slow and passionately......

"I'm so happy for you baby! For you being with us.." she said..

";Ummmph,I'm happy for you..."I said...

She whispered in my ear....

"Hurry back and I'll make you happier.." she said..

I smiled raffishly...

I'm sure I was photographed leaving the office..

II-

I sat in Aqua Bar as I was instructed.....I wasn't too surprised when my surprise benefactor showed up..

''We meet again Donnie Ray.."said Gary Lockwood, who like me was an ex Homicide Detective, now Investigator for the D.A.'s office..

I smiled...

He ordered us two beers.....

"You must have called me from a burner phone.."I said..

''Sure Did...The D.A.'s office approved for Lieutenant Tragg to have your office wiretapped..

It's not my boss....It's another Assistant District Attorney...Billie Lawrence

She's as ruthless and cut-throat as they come..She'll be trying your case..

They have wiretaps upstairs in Beverly and Nelson's apartment..

and upstairs in you and Liv's apartment..

 ,everywhere...

as well as your conference room..

He said and he slipped me a gadget....

'Turn on the water , in your kitchen, your shower and leave it on....Then use this...You'll flush out all of the bugs without them knowing a damn thing.."said Gary...

"Thanks man....I owe you...All your drinks are on me....Yvette's too...Next time we are all at Josie's.."I said..

''Don't mention it...Now I gotta slip out of here...Wait a few minutes...Then you leave.."said Gary...

"Thanks Brother.." I said..

III-

I returned to my house...

Josie and I turned the water on in the kitchen and used the device Gary gave me to find 10 listening devices...

Upstairs in Beverly and Nelson's Apartment...

 
 Josie and Olivia ran the water in the kitchen..

Beverly ran water in the shower and I ran water in the half bathroom...

We found another ten listening devices and discovered that our house alarm had been disabled and that they failed to reconnect it...Sloppy police work....but what could I expect...Lt. Tragg was running the operation...That van should have been three blocks away, where I wouldn't have noticed it right away...

Finally, in our domicile..

Olivia ran water in the shower,

 Nelson and Beverly ran water in the half bathroom...

Josie ran water in the kitchen....

I discovered a whopping twenty devices...

I didn't plan to destroy them....I put them all in a box ,wrapped it up and left for the Post Office...I mailed it to Lieutenant Arthur Tragg's house..

He'd get them in a day or two...

Next I walked across the street and knocked on the Survielience van..

I had a couple of beers and sandwiches..

"Hey Guys...My wife and her niece figured since you guys were here watching us these long hours, you should have some nourishment...I myself wasn't gonna give you a damn thing...but they thought it only right...Oh and tell your  friend upstairs...I hope he got my good side.." I said..

 "WE'VE BEEN MADE!!" said the guys in the van....They took off....

Within a day, the guy in the apartment was gone ...They'd learned nothing they didn't already know...

We met in the conference room....where we fund an additional 20 listening devices.....They meant to hear every utterance from our home and office....

''Despite the fact we discovered we were compromised...We still should write down what we talk about in here for awhile..."I said.

"Good Idea.."said Beverly...

"Your friend risked a lot to help us....I just hope he doesn't get caught..."said Olivia..

"He'll be alright..."I said..

''So what's next?" asked Nelson..

"Liv...You and Beverly need to take a trip down memory lane...You need to go back to the public defender's office tomorrow.." I said..

"Really ? Why?" asked Olivia..

"Do you know a Peyton Young?" I asked..

Both Olivia and Beverly and Nelson's eyes raised..

"I do.." said Olivia..

''We worked with her.." said Nelson..

''She's still there?  Wowww..I know you remember her Nelson....You and her kind of uh had a thing..When I started dating Larry North...You thought you were making me jealous."said Beverly...

"Oh stop it Beverly....Since you told my Bunski story,I'm going to tell yours...Nelson, She was jealous...Even though she was starting to go out with Larry North, She hated that you and Peyton were seeing each other...That's all she talked about, How she wasn't the right girl for you...

Nelson laughed...

''Oh yeah?"

"Yes.."said Olivia..

"It's true....Even though I was starting to see Larry North, I kind of wanted you around  too as back up...You were my closest friend...Even though I used to abuse you...I always came back to you and when you started dating her...I didn't see you except at work and you didn't call me anymore..I was kind of upset...and glad when you two broke it off.."confessed Beverly...

 'Truth is...I just wanted to make you jealous and when it didn't look like you were...I lost all interest in Peyton....It all worked out...We are married now..You and me.....We were meat to be.."said Nelson..

The two of them kissed passionately...

''Yes we are...Sometimes the best things for you are right up under your nose." said Beverly...

''Let's go upstairs ,so you uh can be up under me literally..."said Nelson in her ear..

Beverly blushed...

"If you don't need us for anything else Auntay....We will uh be upstairs..."said Beverly.

In between hot ,smouldering kisses...

Olivia smiled..

''So what has Peyton got to do with this?" asked Olivia.

"She was engaged to be married to Mike Stratton....Last year,  but he broke it off...He threatened to get a restraining order against her and she had an abortion last year also... It was his and he paid for it..."I said..

"Oh My God..."said Beverly...who had stopped kissing Nelson,when she heard that...

"Oh mannnn...Wonder if she knew about his allergies..?" asked Nelson..

"That's what I want to know.."I said..

''She's still a Public Defender.."said Olivia..

''She's the Boss over there...She's the Senior Attorney.." I said.

IV-

It had been quite a day....

Olivia and I retreated to our floor...

"You want some coffee?" she asked..

"No." I said..

I unzippered her tight black jeans...and I slipped them down...she stepped out of her shoes and I slipped them off of her...

"I know what you want...What you always want....ME!" she whispered...

 "Damn right." I whispered....


We kissed slowly and softly......She stroked me gently.....I slowly slipped her panties off...

"Ummmph Donnie Ray this thing gets bigger everytime...I know it does..." she whispered..Still stroking me softly....I was going crazy...

I took her top off and her bra...She helped me out of my clothes....in between sloppy kisses..

We retreated to the bedroom ,where we fell across the bed...Kissing and fondling each other...

"I told you I was going to make you happier.." she said..

"You certainly are.."I said in between kisses..

I laid her down on the bed...and once again.. I stared down into those gorgeous brown eyes of hers and I entered her slowly and gently..I wanted to savor this experience, 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..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 began blowing softly into my ear....then she began kissing me again, soft,short kisses...She was so soft...so moist and smelled so good...I was losing my mind slowly like I always did when I made love to her......while continuing to stroke her masterfully....

 "Ouuuuuuuu...Oh My god Donnie Ray...Ohhhhhhh my goodness..ouuuuuuu.."she moaned..

"Damn girl.."I uttered...

"You couldn't wait could you?" she asked..

"No I could not..."I said..

Her head turned from side to side...Her arms began to stiffen..... She began to shake...tears rolled out of her eyes down the side of her face.....

The bed which hadn't been squeaking before was now squeaking something terrible...The headboard was rattling....Still it was quieter than our old bed.....

 Olivia and I made sweet passionate and intense love for the next FIVE TO SIX HOURS...I couldn't seem to get enough...

 Ouuuuuuuu...Oh My god Donnie Ray...Ohhhhhhh my goodness..ouuuuuuu.."she moaned..

"Damn girl..ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."I uttered...as we continued to make sweet love.

It was a nice ending to a very strange day..

And in ADA Billy Lawrence's office...

 ''How did they find out? HOW?" asked Billy Lawrence..

"Olivia's husband....He's an ex cop...Homicide Detective...He knows the signs..."said Lt. Tragg...

"You  recanvas..Make sure this case is tight as a drum.."said ADA Billie Lawrence..

"I'm on it.."said Lt. Tragg....

After Lt. Tragg left... ADA Bobby Bushay walked in the office..

"Billie you should have put me on this.." he said.

"Perhaps you're right...but I have you working on another case.....Come over here...put something on me.."she said seductively...

''With pleasure.." he said and pulled her too him and kissed her passionately...

"Ummmmmmmmmmm Billie..."he moaned...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Bobbbby..." she moaned..

Though it was whispered...Few people actually knew that she was having a torrid affair with the young ADA,Bobby Bushay, who had clerked for her after graduating law school and passing the bar and was now her colleague in the D.A.'s office..as well as her lover.She was nine years his senior, but that didn't bother him at all...

Meanwhile..

Olivia and I spent the rest of the afternoon in the throes of passion, making sweet love..
