Down Stream

The Bodies of Leonid Tolstoy, a Russian -American hood , suspect in at least three contract killings and William Wells, A black hood, known to be a "leg breaker " for juice men (Loan sharks) were found floating in the river the next morning...both men had been bound and gagged and shot in the back of the head twice, execution style and thrown in the water...

"The God's are definitely not smiling on us...Now we got a double as well as our murder yesterday..." I said..

"Wow and with Christmas a week away...I wonder if we'll have this all wrapped up.." said Monica...

"They've been in the water all night...No way to determine how long they've been dead....No chance of any DNA or other forensic evidence either ."said Monique ,who surveyed the bodies...

"Ummmmm Mob Hit Lieutenant?" asked Kylie..

"Certainly looks like it...This may be a who done it...(Code for cold case)

"Let me get them back to the morgue....Oh and we did find a fingerprint on that tank that was holding him...Two sets of fingerprints...They were faint, but good enough to get a copy ,I'll let you know who they belong to this afternoon.."said Monique..

"Well ,let's get out of here...I'm still doing a little digging into Ziggy's partner's history..." said Monica..

II-

Back in the squadroom, Monica held court with Kylie, Lieutenant Cotton and I..

 "So what do you have on Mr. Ventura?" asked Kylie..

 "He seems to have come from out of nowhere.."said Lieutenant Cotton.

"Yeah...Prior to yesterday,I never heard of him before.."I said..

"That's because he's not a wiseguy, not a player.."said Monica..

"Nicholas Ventura Jr. is the son of the late Nicholas Ventura Sr. , Billionaire Real Estate Man...He owned at one time quite a bit of real estate in Philadelphia, Washington D.C. and New York City...His father was indicted in a RICO probe by the feds and taken down and his mass fortune nearly decimated...

However Sonny Boy took what was left and invested it into several lucrative ventures and came out smelling like a rose...

A few years back , he got into Tax troubles with the IRS and lost half of his newly amassed fortune...He partnered with our boy Zigg and invested in this new Undersea Bar... "said Monica..

"I did a property check....Zigg and his partners put up two thirds of the money...For construction, liquor liscense et al....The one third is all Nick Ventura had left..So in other words...He invested all he has on this venture...

Problem is...If he's so cash poor...How is he living in a top of the line condo and driving a new Flying car?? He's getting his cash flow from somewhere else.."I said..

"My guess is it's something illegal..It's got to be..."said Monica..

"Maybe Drugs...Why else would a player like Bubbie be on his premises?" asked Lt. Cotton..

"Let's bring him in."said Kylie..

"We can't...Not Yet....We don't have enough..."said Lt. Cotton..

''We found a dead Drug suspect on his property.."said Monica..

"Yes we did...but it was a lot of people at that club...Him being there means nothing...It proves nothing..But somebody killed him and it was for a reason..." said Lt. Cotton..

"I might be able to help you with that.."said Monique as she walked in...

III-

Lieutenant Cotton began to just light up as Monique walked in the room...They had been married for a year now and he was still as giddy as a teenage boy with a crush when she entered a room...No other woman had ever had such an effect on him...

"We found a palm print and two sets of fingerprints on that tank....taken from club Bimini...Guess who they belong to?  Our two dead men we found today,...Leonid Tolstoy and William Wells...They're your killers..."she said..

"And somebody killed both of them..."said Monica..

"Somebody is covering up.."said Kylie..

"Those two were supposed to flush that body out into the bay....His body would have drifted down stream ,and been discovered far from that club...They goofed by not doing so..and by leaving fingerprints on the tank...Somebody offed them to cover their tracks..."I said..

"Anything else Sugar Baby?" asked Lt. Cotton..."I-I-I mean Dr.Talbert...I-I mean Dr. Cotton.."he said..

Monica smiled...

So did Monique...

"Our victim was injected with a sedative before he died...He was asleep when he was dunked in that tank and drowned..."said Monique...

"Damn...kind of cruel, but better than what his two killers got..."I said..

IV-

Meanwhile in one of the many hotel rooms in the new Undersea resort Bimini....

Nick Ventura is talking to his Lieutenant..Flip Jenkins..

''What's bothering you Flint?  The cops they got nothing.. by now they've probably found fingerprints on that tank and linked them to Tolstoy and Willie Boy, two known underworld figures...Their little murder is neatly wrapped up for them...." said Nick Ventura..

"Yeah but what about them and us?" asked Flip...

"There is no link whatsoever to us...I paid them in cash...Always..No bank transfer..Nothing electronic..No paper trail...No above ground meetings...All of our meetings were here in that back room..no photo ops..no survellience cameras..They can't prove I even know those two...Relax..." laughed Nick..

"Oh yeah, about that homely woman you hired...The cleaning lady...and her son...Where did you say they came from? " asked Flip..

"Mrs. Jenkins? Opheilia Jenkins...She's a sweet old lady...Homely as hell, but sweet,,,"laughed Nick...

"She looks like a dude and that weird ass son of hers...What is his story?" asked Flip...

"Arthur...He's a mama's boy....They're alright...They keep my quarters clean...Forget about em.. Hey Flip..find something to do...My girl is coming over..."laughed Nick...

"Okay boss...See ya tomorrow..." he said..

Just then the bell rang...

A Sexy woman in a purple and yellow thong and a matching purple bra entered the room...

"Heyyyyyyy Nicky.." she said..

"Heyyyyyyyyy Baby!" said Nick Ventura..laughing...

He closed the door...

He had no idea , a micro camera was in his bedroom recording everything...

''Did you get the flowers I sent ya?" asked Nick Ventura...

"Yesssssssssssss, Oh Nicky they were beautiful..." gushed the woman...

They kissed passionately......

Nicky unhooked her bra...and slipped her panties down....She Unzippered his trousers...He wasn't wearing any socks or shoes...and took his shirt off...

"Ohhh....Ohhhhhhhh babyyyyyyyyyyy!" he moaned...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuu Nicky...She moaned......as she lowered herself down on him and began to move up and down.....

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.."she moaned..Tears and perspiration running down her face..Her body trembling...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh lawddddddddddddddddd..Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" he moaned...

 "Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...oh my god Nickyyyyyyyyyyyyy...Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" she moaned.

"I -I -I can't believe this feels sooooooooooooooooo goood..ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu girlll." he moaned.

In the hotel room next door... Arthur Jenkins watches them on the monitor...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww....ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
boyyyyyyy!  Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh boy" moaned Arthur next door who was watching Nick and his lady friend and getting more excited by the minute...

He took a bottle of milk out of the refrigerator and poured himself a glass...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww....ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
boyyyyyyy!  Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh boy"he moaned...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Nicky, give it to me...Ouuuuuuuuu.." moaned the girl...


"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh geeeeez...Ummmmmmmmmmmmm" he moaned...


Arthur was getting more excited watching them...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww....ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"ARTHUR!!! GET AHOLD OF YOURSELF....LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE.....YOU'VE GOT YOUR
MAN JUICE ALL OVER MY CLEAN FLOOR!  YOU PERVERT! WE JUST MOVED IN HERE...WE CAN'T AFFORD ANY TROUBLE.." yelled a woman...

"Mother Please...I'll clean it up!" protested the young man..."MOTHER PLEASE!" begged Arthur...

V-

Back at the squadroom , A Day later.... I had my arms around Monica, she looked regretful...

''What's the matter bae?"  I asked..

 "Loose Ends.."said Monica..

"Loose Ends?" I asked..

"Yeah...We find a guy in a tank who's been drowned..." she said..

"Yeah, but we've identified his killers...We caught em on on the security camera entering the bar together and drinking together...Leonid Tolstoy, a Russian -American hood , suspect in at least three contract killings and William Wells, A black hood, known to be a "leg breaker " for juice men.. That murder is down bae.."I said..

 "Yeah and then they are found floating in the river almost 24 hours later...They screwed up...So who killed them?" asked Monica..

"I like Nick Ventura...."I said and smiled..

"My gut tells me he's mixed up in all of this..but we have no proof, not a shred that he was even in the bar when Bubbie got it...and no proof at all that he had anything to do with the killings of Tolstoy and Wells.."said Monica ,who sighed..."And to top it all off...We still haven't found Arthur Jenkins..."she said.

"Or his murderous mother." I joked...

Arthur Jenkins  was a schizophrenic  ,who had two personalities...One a bullied cuckold of a man and the other , his domineering and murderous "mother..." We had identified him as the killer of a woman and a corrupt District Attorney, but he had escaped and so far there was no sign of him....

 "Don't make fun..Nate, you know I like everything neatly wrapped up...." said Monica..

"In a nice bow for Christmas right?   Nice, but the real world doesn't work like that Mo-Mo...You know that..."I whispered in her ear..

"Well one thing worked out....I got you....Nice and neatly wrapped up!" she said and smiled and kissed me passionately..

"Ummmm yessss.." I moaned as we kissed passionately...

 The squad room was nearly empty...We were over in a corner....devouring each other's lips....

 While we were kissing......The River was about to give us another body....
