Forever

 SPACEPORT- PHILADELPHIA

The flight from the Moon arrived a little late...

Carlos Wallace was in the Spaceport, Straight from Luna City

He'd miss Luna City, but he had been there 15 years....It was time to start a new life on Earth in a new job  and with the woman he realized he was in love with....Detective Kylie White

He called her several times and she hadn't answered....

He wondered if she was on a case or worse..Had found someone new!!!

The answer to that was yes and no....Yes she was on a case and no, there was no new man...She was ironically investigating the death of a man who had the potential of being the new man, but because of fate would not be..a man named Jared , who she was starting to take a small interest in when he was brutally gunned down...It seemed a random crime..but it wasn't...She was investigating his murder..

Kylie was sleeping in the spare room in our domicile at our home.. She had been drugged the night before by her suspect , 

Karl Stradling, a vice detective who had taken an unhealthy interest in her.. In a sting operation in which she wore a wire and went out for drinks with him and tried unsuccessfully to get him to say something, anything she could use as proof that he had killed Jared.

My wife, Monica, a mutant with the power to hear people's thoughts and feel their emotions already knew that he had in fact killed Jared with his service revolver and faked a report the night of the murder, because she heard it in his thoughts and felt the pure hatred for Jared in his emotions , but could not prove it already was keying in on him, when he stopped an attempt by him to date rape Kylie..

He drugged her drinks....She had scanned his mind and knew that that was what he had planned and stepped in and escorted Kylie to our house before he could succeed...

Worse was that her twin sister, 

Monique, had been kidnapped by Escaped triple murderer,

John Donnie Clark, who we had been hunting with no success all week...We kept missing him..

Monica was using one of her other powers...

Through her advanced powers of telepathy , she could "lock in" as it was called with her twin sister, feel her emotions, her complete essence and know where she was....

Monique awakened out of her slumber...She was bound and gagged and on the sofa in Bonnie Peter's apartment complex...Both of the two plain clothes cops assigned to watch the place had been knocked out and were also tied up, bound and gagged on the living room floor..

But no one had been harmed...The killer himself was snoring in Bonnie's bedroom...

She conveyed all of this to us by the amazing telepathic bond she had with her sister...

Other than her mother and father...I was the only other person who had this bond with her..

"You located her?" I asked.

"Yeah...He's holding her and our two plain clothes guys hostage in get this...Bonnie Peter's apartment..

We've got to move fast and with caution.."said Monica.

II-

Kylie woke up...she was kind of self conscious about being in our place and in her underwear..

"God, I really hung one on last night...didn't I?" said Kylie..

"He drugged you...I took a urine sample from you last night before you passed out...I'm going to get it analyzed...If it comes back positive...We can arrest him for that...And get his service revolver and check it." said Monica..

''Way ahead of you...Lt. Cotton has devised a plan to do just that without him knowing..We looked deeper into his background and found a whole lot of interesting things..Which we'll clue you in on later..but right now we gotta go get Monique...She's been kidnapped by that freak , James Donnie Clark and he's holding her hostage in Bonnie Peters 's apartment.."I said.

"You uh did that thing you do with your uh mind...Locking in , you called it." laughed Kylie as she looked at her phone..

"I had five calls last night...From Carlos...and a text....HE'S IN TOWN!!!! OHHH WOWW!" she said ..

Her eyes lighting up...

''He's just what you needed...Call him girl.. Hang out here , get your head together...We'll be back soon." said Monica as She and I headed out..

We had to formalize a plan to take James Donnie Clark down without anyone getting hurt..He was supposed to call us today and tell us where we were to make the exchange...Us for Monique's freedom.

"Hello? Kylie...Baby...Where are you? I called you about five times when I got in this morning."said Carlos..

''Carlos...I've missed you soooo much...How long are you here for?" asked a very excited Kylie.

"FOREVER!  I quit the Luna City Police force... I told you I've been in Law School the past three years..Well I graduated and I passed the bar...I'm an attorney now....I've got to take the bar again here and then I'll go about getting a job...I was wondering if I could crash with you while I look for a place?" he asked.

"YOU BETTER!!  I'm over Nate and Monica's house...I was uh undercover last night...I'm on a murder case...It's a long story...Where you at?" she asked.

"I was at your precinct, but no one was here...Not Lt. Cotton, Not Nate, Monica or You....Now I know why.." he laughed..

"Let me get a shower and get dressed  and I'll meet you at my place, okay?" said Kylie..

"Cool....I can't wait to see you.."said Carlos..

"That's all you want to do is see me?" she asked seductively...

"Heyyyyyyyyy" he laughed..

Kylie took a hot shower, got dressed and headed home..

Unknown to her, Detective Karl Stradling had sat outside her house all night...Getting only a little sleep..

He was drunk, horny and extremely angry at Detective Monica Nellis for breaking up his play..He had come to Kylie's house, but she wasn't in..

He looked up and he saw another gentleman at her doorstep...

'Who was this guy?" he wondered..

It was Carlos...He waited patiently for thirty minutes...Then she lamded her flying car and ran into his arms..

She was still wearing the clothes she wore from last night...

"Carlos, Babyyyyyyyy!" she laughed, running into his arms..

They kissed passionately...

He was furious! but before he could do anything, his radio blared..

"Detective Stradling..Come in" came the voice..

"Yo what is it?"he said.

"Lieutenant wants to see everybody that was on that raid last week...So come right in.."came the voice.

''What's this about?  Nobody was injured.. We took those suspects in without incident...It was a good bust." he said.

"Hey man, they just asked for all of us to come in.."said the voice..

"Alright...I'm on my way.." he said and pulled off..He'd find out about Kylie's mysterious man later.

III-

We had the apartment surrounded..

A Tactical squad on both sides..

"Alright Mo-Mo...We got this place covered.. It's your move..."said Lt. Cotton.

We had to be careful..We didn't know if he had a  gun or not...We certainly couldn't take him the same way we took him the last time..

He knew that Bonnie wasn't home...It weighed heavily on Monica's mind..

"He said he was going to call us and give us instructions on where to make the exchange...I imagine it wasn't going to be here." said Monica.

"Imagine his surprise when he finds out we are already on to him" I said..

"I wish we had a way to take him by surprise without risking my sister and those two cops lives.."said Monica...

Then she got a telepathic message from her sister...Monique...

"Mo Mo..I sense you are close by...He's getting ready to go out for something.." she said,.

He opened the door of her apartment...He looked around and headed for the exit...My Guess was he was going to a nearby store....

He was stunned to see me coming towards him...Gun drawn

"GET YOUR HANDS UP!!! GET EM UP!!!" I said.

A Tactical squad behind me.. and coming from the opposite direction.

"You heard him GET THOSE HANDS UP!  YOU MOVE AND WE'LL LIGHT YOU UP!!!" said Monica..

She had a Tactical squad behind her...

Lieutenant Cotton kicked the door in....

"Sugar Baby!" he said..untying her , while other officers untied the two plain clothes officers..

"FRANKIEEEEEEEEE!!" she said..

They kissed passionately.....

"I DON'T BELIEVE IT!!!!  I JUST DON'T BELIEVE IT!!!!" said James Donnie Clark as we handcuffed him and read him his rights..

"Believe it...you're going back to prison and this time...To stay.."said Monica..

"You've got an appointment with the gas chamber pal..!" I said as we walked him out...

It had taken us three days...but we had recaptured him....

IV-

At a coffee shop in town, Kylie sat ,drinking a coffee..

Lt. Cotton had left her a video message explaining everything...Where we were and the latest developments in her murder investigation... 

She had called Detective Karl Stradling...asked him to meet her at the coffee shop...She knew he'd be there..

He walked in and sat down next to her..

"Well, you look fresh...Fresher than last night." he said. "You really hung one on.."he laughed nervously...

"You mean after you roofied me?" said Kylie dryly....

"Babbyyyyy come on, you don't believe Monica do you? I wouldn't...." he said.

"Knock it off.. I had a urinalysis done last night...They checked it in the lab this morning...You gave me two drugs...one to relax me and the other to make me more sexually acceptible...and not only that...You killed Jared.." said Kylie..

"Jared...Jared...always Jared...You seem to have gotten over him fast..Who was that dude you were sucking face with this morning?" he asked..

"So you stalk me too...just like you did those 10 girls in the Marines and a few in the civilian world too huh?  Your service revolver...Your lieutenant asked for the service revolvers of your entire unit this morning for a routine check...You wrote a phony report the night of that raid...I checked...and your service revolver is a match for the weapon that killed Jared...You're under arrest for the murder of Jared Walker.. You have the right to remain silent...Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law..You have the right to an attorney, if you can not afford one, one will be assigned to you..Do you understand these rights as I am reading them to you?"asked Kylie..

"You're kidding right?" he laughed..

"I'm afraid she's not....Gun and Badge please..."said Lt. Cotton

I snapped the handcuffs on him....

He was furious... He snarled at Monica..

"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT...WHY COULDN'T YOU HAVE MINDED YOUR BUSINESS LAST NIGHT?" he said.

"I'm murder police....You were our suspect all the time...I was minding my business.." said Monica.

"I was drunk....I didn't mean to shoot him...It was just a reflex..." he said as he was walked out...

"You gonna be alright? You can take a few days off you know.."said Lt. Cotton..

"I'm gonna be just fine...Carlos is here..."said Kylie..

"How Long is he in town for? "asked Lt. Cotton.

"For Good!!....He quit the Luna City Police department...He finished Law School and passed the bar..He has to pass the bar here....He's going to be staying with me until he can find a job and an apartment.."said Kylie..

"I know you're happy."laughed Lt. Cotton.

"I'm ecstatic!" laughed Kylie..

We had all cracked our cases, just in time for the holidays.

EPILOUGE-

We met Bonnie Peters at Aquaport upon her return from Lemuria..

''I'm so glad you caught that creep..." she said..

"We are too..He's on his way back to Brennan Correctional Facility and his apointment with the Gas Chamber.."said Monica.

"Oh yeah...you're going to have to fumigate your apartment and uh buy another red bra and panty set." I said..

"What?" she asked..

"It's a long story...We'll explain it to you on your way home.."said Monica..

As we escorted her back to her apartment in a flying limo...

We hadn't seen Kylie in a few days...She and Carlos were at her house, getting uh reacquainted..

"OHHHHHHHH KYLIE ,ALL I COULD DO WAS THINK ABOUT YOU!!!!UMMMMMMMPH!" said Carlos.

"UMMMMMMMMMM..OUUUUUUUUUWEEEEEEE...I THOUGHT ABOUT YOU TOOOOO!  OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" moaned Kylie as they made love on her couch....

The stories this couch could tell, Kylie thought.....

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUWEEEEEEEEEE CARLOS....OH MY GODDDDDDDDD!" screamed Kylie

"OHHHHHH MY GODDDD KYLIEEEEEE!: he moaned...

They were on her living room floor going at it...

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH LAWWWWWWD! " Carlos moaned...as they finally made it to Kylie's big soft bed

"Carlos, you can stay with me as long as you like...don't leave me..." pleaded Kylie...

"OHHHHHHHHHH I CAN'T leave youuuuuuuuuuu, ouuuuuuuu!" he moaned...

While Monica and I stood outside our house, kissing passionately...

"Don't you want to go inside honey?" asked Monica..

"I do, but I can't seem to let you go." I said..

As we kissed under the light of the moon.
