It was the most crowded night of the week...Salsa Night...
Kool Kat called me and asked me to meet him there..
Naturally, when the big man calls...I come...He's been my buddy since I was a small child..We were both in the Police Athletic Boxing program together...I was a Middleweight and he naturally was a heavyweight... Both of us had an undefeated season...
He was sitting by himself at a table in the back..I sat down with him...
We ordered a round of beers.
"I spoke with some very reliable sources....Apparently there is a new playa in town...He is an excellent Boxman( safe cracker) and seven story man (Burglar) He's from the Netherlands...His name is Steele Caruthers...
"He is on Interpol's radar...He's pulled a number of these style heists all over Europe, Spain, France, Germany and The U.K. He comes to town posing as a Jeweler, with pricey jewelry to sell.,..While making his sale...Jewelry vanishes without a trace...and after awhile..So does he."said Kool Kat.
"Okay...but he's got to have someone..an inside guy...A connect here..."I said..
"Oh He does and it's so slick...I'm surprised the cops have never caught on to it..He usually finds a girl...a real pretty girl...typically a pro ,looking to make some quick cash...He fishes her into an insurance company....These jewels are heavily insured ...He fishes the girl into the insurance company...and she photographs or copies the schematic design of the place he's going to hit.. That's why he knows where all of the alarms are and the cameras...and he is able to blow the safe with incredible efficiency and slip away with no DNA or prints left behind and no nasty photos of him.." said Kool Kat...
"But he still has to work with somebody here..Somebody who can take out the street and traffic cams and deactivate the alarms..."I said.
"Somebody with skills like Lockpick Johnson eh? well he's got him...His name is Randy Jefferson.
A local playa, who was just paroled from Stanga about seven months ago and got put on to Mr. Caruthers..."said Kool Kat... "I got addresses on both of these cool guys...
"Not that I care...but these sources of yours...They must be uh very deep into the life...Can you trust em?" I asked..
Kool Kat gave me a baleful stare , a stare that has caused many hardened gangsters to crap their pants...
He put his .357 Magnum on the table..
"I'm not the kind of guy people lie to Kev, you of all people should know that." he said.
It was chilling moments like this that I was glad he was my friend...and not my enemy!
II-
I met with Bonnie Shay at my headquarters...
I told her what I knew about our players...
She smiled....
"We got her on tape, talking to who I think is the main man...He's got a thick foreign accent...That's probably this Steele Caruthers aka Bennett Cerf...She told him about the court case yesterday
that she was summoned to attend...
and how the three attorneys
knew all about her past and brought all those people to that hearing..Headed by Assistant District Attorney Karen Page
upon the mention of the Assistant District Attorney, he freaked.. He said because of her past, she was a liability to his whole operation...She assured him that it had no bearing on what they were doing..
He told her to wipe her hard drive clean on her laptop as well as that phone..She tried to laugh it off , but he wasn't having it...He said he'd stop by her condo and get it." said Bonnie.
"He's too late...we already have it and have copies and we are still listening to their phone calls." I said.
"Here is the kicker...
She told him that we don't have a clue at Cyclops that she's the mole...She said neither us or the cops have any idea what's going on...He told her if an Assistant District Attorney and other Attorneys know..The Police aren't far behind..He kept telling her that she was being looked into and she kept laughing it off, telling him he was too paranoid."laughed Bonnie..
"Poor deluded little Psychopath."I laughed..
"I've got an idea...Let's set a trap for them...Give them a prize so big , they can't turn it down...Something easy to move...Like Bearer Bonds.."said Bonnie.
"Yeah....They must be feeling the pinch...The Cops and The Feds have the entire city on lockdown...No fence is willing to touch that Ice...He must be in need of money by now..."I laughed..
'We play our cards right...we got em all."I said.
III-
Sissy summoned me....I imagine she had news for me and I had news for her..
''You said you had news for me old friend.. You go first.."said Sissy..
''Well since we last talked..I've identified all of our players...Apparently there is a new playa in town...He is an excellent Boxman( safe cracker) and seven story man (Burglar) He's from the Netherlands...His name is Steele Caruthers..." I said.
Duke Smiled wryly...
"Aint that nothin?" said Tyriq..
"I always said Kevin could have fit very neatly in this group."said Sissy smiling..
"He is on Interpol's radar...He's pulled a number of these style heists all over Europe, Spain, France, Germany and The U.K. He comes to town posing as a Jeweler, with pricey jewelry to sell.,..While making his sale...Jewelry vanishes without a trace...and after awhile..So does he. " I said.
"And he fishes a young girl, a prostitute into the mix...Has her work at an insurance company right?" said a smiling Carlotta.
''Which is how he gets the schematic designs and the safe combonations.."said a smiling Jimmy..
I smiled.. "So you know huh?" I said.
"Every now and then we earn our keep as Detectives.."laughed Angie..
"I checked FBI and all national and state police databases for criminals that meet his general M.O. and got nothing...Then I checked the Military and Interpol and his name came up...Only as a suspect..He's never been caught or even indicted...Just been a suspect...."said Sharon.
"He also works with a local criminal..That's how the traffic, street and building cameras are taken out and how he gains access..also how the alarms are compromised too...I suspect he uses think latex gloves and works in a rubber suit...Therefore.. No prints or DNA..."I said.
"Right again Kevin." said Sirena, who put photos of him, Tammie and his other accomplice on the table..
"This is the crew.."said Sirena..
"You guys are good..." I said..
"We got lucky...On three of their jobs...There was a business across the street from the building...They never knew about that...There was a Bank, A Credit Union and an ATM machine."said Hop.
"All three had cameras and look who we caught ,coming out of three of the six."said Sharon.
It was Caruthers Steele and Randy Jefferson....
"I've got enough for a warrant on all three.."said Keith Wallace...but I don't have a lot of evidence.." he said.
"Bonnie and I have cloned her hard drive and we have recorded phone conversations as well as photos of the schematic designs and safe combos she forwarded to him...but we've set a nice trap in which you guys can catch them all in the act....If you'll give me three days..." I said.
''You've been right on the money Kevin...I trust you...We can wait."said Sissy.
"But there uh is something else you should know...Something very important."said Carlotta..
"Oh?" I said.
"In Madrid, Frankfurt, Berlin, Rome, Dublin, Paris and London....Soon after he departed...7 young girls,,all girls he was suspected of fishing into the insurance companies to get him their information...all were found with their necks snapped and weighted down in the local rivers...He doesn't leave behind loose ends..." said Duke.
''What about the guys who work with him?" I asked.
"They're career criminals...They're not going to put themselves in for a crime and name an accomplice who is nowhere to be found..."said Sirena..
"He plays for keeps." I said.
"Yes, so keep your eyes on that little girl of yours..."said Sissy.
IV-
And at this moment in her high rise apartment complex... Tammie Malloy is changing her clothes and putting clothes away..
''If you're going to hang around here...Make yourself useful, help me put away my things.." said Tammie..
Randy smiled and filed her panties and bras away in her drawers...
"The bossman is on edge.. He hasn't been able to move that ice..from any of those robberies..No fence in the city will touch it..Not only are the cops all over it..The Feds are too..."said Randy...
"There's such a thing as too hot... I gave him something big, something easy to move....My Insurance Company is insuring this real heavy dude....He's got enough bearer bonds to be cashed quickly anywhere and they are worth millions..More money than all of those heists combined..provided he moves them fast...The Cops will be looking for diamonds...not bearer bonds.."said Tammie..
"YEAH? Good Thinkin...Changin it up!" said Randy...
"Yes...and hopefully we can all get paid...we haven't seen a dollar from these heists in six months and I'm laying myself on the line at my job.."said Tammie as she finished cleaning her shower out...
"I'm surprised they haven't sensed a connection yet...but apparently they haven't...Anyway Bossman is going to New York to see if he can move this ice..So we got somethin comin.."said Randy..
"The layout is there on the table...I made copies...All of the street and traffic cams and the alarm systems...as well as the building cams...That's your area of expertise..."she said..But Randy was staring at her in her bra and panties...He would look at the designs later..
Randy slipped up behind her...slipped her panties down..and unhooked her bra..
"No...This is my area of expertise.." he whispered...
"Randyyyyyyy this is not one of the perks of the job..." she whispered..
"Then sue me, like you did all of those other guys.." he said..
She laughed and they kissed passionately....
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh lorrrrrd...Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Randy, you are huge...my goodness...ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.." she cooed as she moved up and down on his massive erection...
"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW LAWWWWWWWWWWWWWd!" he moaned..
They continued to kiss passionately and to make sweet love..
Randy had been hinting around to it ever since the capers began and she had been coyly avoiding it...but now...what the hell...She was horny anyway....
EIGHT TO NINE HOURS of sensual pleasure continued..
"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.." she moaned..
"Ohhhhh my god!" he cried out...
"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUWEEEEEEEEEEEE!" she said..
She had had four very intense orgasms and was having another one...
TWO MORE HOURS PASSED BY before Randy came hard,like a gusher.....
They both through on some clothes..
''Randy that was nice...but I think you should go now.." she said. she was both satisfied and exhausted...She couldn't believe the stamina of this guy....
''I can't stay the night? Come on..." he begged..
"No, you aint stayin the night...I'm not your girlfriend...Bye Randy." she said.
|"Ohhh alright.." he said..and he left..
Perhaps she should have let him stay.....
AN HOUR LATER.... Her doorbell rang..
She laughed.. "That Randy...He'll do anything to try and get me to let him spend the night..."she said..
but when she opened the door..
"What are you doing here?" she asked..
''Hello Tammie."said Caruthers Steele.
Some Hours Later-
A cement cinder block tied to a young woman's ankles holds her down to the bottom of the river...Her hair blows into the water..her dresss flows with the waves... Her head ,with the neck broken ,tilts to the side...Her lifeless eyes...open and staring at the fish as they swim by....
