A Convenient Alibi

We were in the squadroom the next morning....

 ''I took a closer look at the financials of the first two murdered girls...The ones we have determined that Harry Dean didn't kill..."said Kylie..

 "For Hookers, these girls were financially savy...They both kept bank accounts..."laughed Monica..

"Okay, they made deposits every so many days....I imagine the smaller amounts are from johns..."I said..

"But look at these huge amounts.. Two 20K payments made in two months..."said Kylie..

"Yes...In both accounts...."said Monica.

"And two deductions in both girls accounts of 10K...." I said..  "If you look at Johnny Muller's account and Ricky Lassiter's accounts...There are two deposits of 10K in their accounts that matches the withdrawals from the girl's accounts.."I said..

"That's a pretty wealthy john or..."said Monica.

"That's Blackmail!!!" I said.

She smiled at me like a proud teacher....glancing at her prize pupil....I forgot that she was my training officer in Homicide...

II-

TWO HOURS LATER-

"Ladies...I've got something." I said..

"What is it?" asked Kylie..

"It took me awhile..but I've found out where the original transaction came from..It originated in a bank in the Caymen Islands, then it was transferred to a Swiss banking account and then through ten other accounts before hitting a server here in Philadelphia and entering their accounts.."I said.

"How careful is this person? But the trail leads to ,wait for it..Mount Pisgah Interdenominational Baptist Church and we know who's church that is..."said Monica..

"Bishop Ranklin...The Pope of Queen Village..He was being blackmailed by both of the girls...and naturally their pimps wanted their taste...He paid them out of his church's money in a way that it would be hard for it to come back to him.." I said.

"But 40k a month and this list stretches back six months would put a hurting on his churches funds..."said Kylie..

"It sure would and something had to be done, Those two girls were strangled.There was no visible clues except the marks on their necks and at first no motive....Enter Harry Dean, serial killer, the pantyhose strangler....Why he was perfect....He started killing girls at random....so these two were tagged along with the six he did kill...Only we got hot on his trail...We provided separation Nate..We were the first to make it known that the first two girls didn't match the other six..AND WHO DID WE TELL THAT to? RANKLIN!!When captured, Harry Dean would have said that he didn't kill the first two, so he was shut up....He's dead...we know he killed six out of the eight...We just tag the first two to him, case closed..."said Monica.

"What if these two hustlers...These two Pimps figured out what we are just now figuring out..That Serial Killer Harry Dean was just a lucky aberration..a convenient alibi..and they weren't buying it.?" I asked.

"Then the Blackmail continued...And now there was two people who had to be silenced too..But I scanned

Ranklin's mind...He didn't kill anyone..."said Monica.

"What about his Nephew?, We still haven't talked to him and he is conveniently out of town.." I asked.

"Hmmmm….we need to look into him...Him and his Uncle are into this up to their eyeballs.."said Monica.. "Let me call my sister.." she said..

"She's not at work they said, she took the day off. and I called her other phone and it went to voicemail.."said Monica..

"I hope she's alright." I said.

III-

Monique was fine...She was at home...with her husband, our boss, Lt. Cotton..

"So uh how is that case going?" she whispered to her husband..At this point ,she didn't really care, she was just making conversation..

She gave him a soft ,slow kiss.....

"You know I don't even know....I haven't seen the three of them since the last body was found days ago..but I know they are working it hard..." said Lt. Cotton...

"And speaking of hard!!!.....Ouuuuuuuuu I see something else is hard.."said Monique, giggling..She wasn't a mutant like her sister..but she didn't have to be..Her husband's trousers were standing out like a circus tent...She could see he was very aroused...

He lifted her skirt off and unhooked her bra...and slowly slipped her panties down and off...She unhooked his belt and helped him slip his trousers off...

"OHHHHHHHHHHH MY GOD!" she exclaimned as he slipped his t-shirt off....They stood in their living room nude, kissing each other slowly and softly...

"I'm the one who should be saying "OH MY GOD!" he said softly....

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ,ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Frankieeeee….I've missed you sooo much...I've been working so hard.." cooed Monique...her sexy voice and the feel of her baby soft skin driving Lt. Cotton to the point of delirium...

"I know baby....I know Sugar baby....but now you're here//" he said as they devoured each other's lips...

She softly fondled him...Smiling as his body trembled...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Frankieeee…" she cooed as he lifted her up and slowly entered her...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Sugar Baby...."he moaned as he thrusted into her slowly but rapidly moved faster....


"YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS FRANKIE....YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!" she moaned...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Sugar baby!"  he moaned...

They had both taken the day off so that they could be alone together....Monique moved up and down on Lt. Cotton....Riding him like a surfer rides the waves....

He was in total ecstacy….

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu you are driving me crazy.." he moaned...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Frankie!"moaned Monique...

Soon he had her legs spread and was pounding her masterfully....

Their couch was rocking so hard, the four legs threatened to break off...

"Ouuuuuuu Frankie don't stop....don't stop baby!" Monique moaned..

"I can't...." he said softly...

Monique was showering him with kisses...Lt. Cotton was to the point of deliriousness...

EIGHT TO NINE HOURS of sweet sweet lovemaking was going by slowly...

Monique was trembling...Lt. Cotton was trembling...and cumming like a gusher...Monique was trembling, her head was going back and forth and her arms were flailing....She was having an intense orgasm...both of her legs were shaking furiously...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Frankieeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" she moaned loudly...


"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" he cried out....still cumming hard!

Monique played in his hair......while they both caught their breath...

She got up and walked to the refrigerator..She got a bottle of water and began to thirstily drink it down...

IV-

Meanwhile outside of our duplex...a frightened young woman approaches..

It was Ariel...The former prostitute , who had known all eight girls...and who had put us in the direction of Bishop Ranklin in the first place...She was frightened..Lately she felt she had been followed....She had been watched...She knew where Monica and I lived..she was coming to our house for help...Hoping we would let her stay with us for awhile...

She was across the street when a garotte wrapped around her neck, tighter and tighter...She let out a scream...

"SHUTTT UP!!! YOU'VE BEEN RUNNING YOUR MOUTH EH?  TALKIN TO COPS..HUHHHH?" came the voice.

"ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! NO...NO, I HAVEN'T SAID ANYTHING TO ANYONE, STOP!!! YOU'RE HURTING MEEEEEEE, !" she screamed....

"SHUT UP!! WHERE WERE YOU GOING? WHERE WERE YOU GOING HUH?" Mikey snarled as he tightened his grip...

Ariel fought a lot harder than the other girls...but she was fighting a losing battle..she was slowly losing consciousness...

Meanwhile...Just feet away inside of our duplex...

Monique and Lt Cotton were kissing...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu you want some more?" she cooed seductively...

"Always baby...I always want more...I never get enough of you.." he moaned..

"Ohhhhhhh Frankie!" she moaned..

He was running his hands down in her panties...when Monique heard the blood curdling scream from across the street..

"ARRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

"What was that?" she asked startled..

''Nothin baby..."said Lt. Cotton...Still aroused and ready for round two....

"ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" came the scream...

Now he heard it.!!!!!...

They looked out the window in order to see Ariel , who they didn't know was being strangled by a man with a Garotte!!

Lt. Cotton put on his boxers and a t-shirt  and grabbed his Glock 9 pistol..

"Hey...let that girl go!" he screamed..

Ariel passed out and dropped to the pavement..

"MIND YOUR BUSINESS...GO INSIDE AND PUT ON SOME DAMN PANTS!" yelled Mikey, who pulled out a .22

and fired two times at Lt. Cotton, who ducked  for cover...

Mikey, who was dressed in all black turned around and ran for all he was worth...

Lt. Cotton fired once..

from his Glock!

Mikey was hit in the side..

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! Aggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...I DON'T BELEIVE IT....I'VE BEEN SHOT!!!" he howled..

He continued to run, his adrenulum running high....Soon he was out of sight...

Monique, only clad in her bra and panties, leaned down and took Ariel's pulse...

"She's still alive!!!!, but she needs medical attention...Did you get him?" she asked.

''I wounded him, but he got away...but look what I did get?" he said and used a twig from a near by tree to lift up a garotte..

"Her assailant, whoever he was, left his calling card..." he said..




IV-

An Ambulance took Ariel to the hospital...

"She's going to the hospital...I've got four uniforms on her room..."said Kylie...

"She's lucky to be alive...She must have come here looking for us."I said.

''We've got his calling card...A Garotte!" said Monica..

"This and all the blood he left behind will give us DNA and prints..."said Monique..

"Talk about a lucky break..."said Monica..

"Our assailant is wounded...If he took a slug from a nine...He's in trouble and losing blood badly..He'll need medical attention."I said.

"The net is closing in on him.."said Kylie..

''We didn't get a good look at his face..but a second longer and you'd be chalking another homicide victim." said Lt. Cotton...
