Two Rachels

The City doesn't sleep and neither does the dedicated detectives, searching diligently for a serial killer , who has already killed three men and left their bodies strewn along the new floating highway that leads to Aqua Port...

Monica and I were turning the city upside down looking for a clue...Anything that could lead us to the elusive Rachel Gibson, our leading suspect in the killings...

We traveled to a popular bistro inside Aqua Port...Where people ate and drank before their sub's arrived to take them to Lemuria or Octopus Gardens...Two Undersea cities..

"Nate, do you remember the first time you and I came here...We had just decided to become a couple..A lot of people still didn't know we were together yet." said Monica.

I smiled...

"You remembered don't you?" she said...

I did remember...

 
Three weeks had since passed and this was a rare night off from murder and mayhem...It was a Friday Night...

I was standing at Penns Landing waiting for my date...Monica Talbert....I was taking her to dinner at The Octopus Garden, the undersea cafe....

Last time we had been there had been in the middle of a murder investigation...Tonight was the full date I had promised her some weeks ago....

We weren't going to fly out in my flying car tonight...We were going to catch the Mini-Shuttle Sub that held  12 people and venture down...one mile beneath the sea to the undersea cafe...

Like most women, Monica was late...but when she drove up...It was worth the wait...

She was gorgeous....More so than usual... My mouth just dropped...She blushed and then smiled..

She was wearing a beautiful blood red spaghetti strapped evening dress and matching
spiked heels...

"Okay Nate, Tongue back in your mouth, Eyeballs back in sockets..." she said, breaking the ice...

"Wowww, you look great..." was all I could say..

"Thank you..." she said and kissed me softly....Her fragrance was intoxicating...

"You-You...You ready?" was all I could manage to mumble...

She laughed...

"I'm ready...Question is...Are YOU?" she said...

We walked hand and hand to the port where we caught the Mini Shuttle Sub...with the five other couples and slowly went out to sea and towards the Undersea cafe...

The view was beautiful....A nice night out...and a place where we had little to no chance of running into anybody that we knew..

We rode out to the underwater hotel, which stood like a beacon in the middle of the ocean and began the plunge downward towards the undersea cafe, Octopus Garden..

Just before we began to go undersea...I looked up at the Moon from a distance..

It looked beautiful...With my Cyber eye...I caught a slight glimpse of Luna City...Another place I had been with Monica..It was where we had first shared a kiss..It was where I first realized I cared for her beyond just wanting to sleep with her..

"It is beautiful Nate...The moon is where I first realized that I cared for you too.." she said..

I took her hand in mine and rubbed it softly....

I took one last look at the moon before the mini sub went under the water and began it's journey downward...

"Nate are you nervous?" said Monica, who could sense my apprehension at going under the water and going this deep surrounded by nothing but water...

Any other girl, I could lie and say "Afraid? Who me? Nahhhh?"

 But you can't play those type of games when your girl is a telepathic mutant ,who can hear your thoughts and feel your emotions..So I was silent..

She leaned over and began kissing me passionately...Half of the couples were making out already anyway...So we didn't look out of order...Kissing her took my mind off of the trip and relaxed me...It uh made me think of other things..I rubbed my hands all over that sexy body...My mind took me to other places...Nice places..Relaxing places...

I slipped my hand under her dress and rubbed her legs...and took a peek at her panties...

She removed my hands and smiled..

"Natttttttte, that was supposed to be a surprise.....for later!" she said and giggled... "You are soo bad!" she said.

Once inside the underwater cafe known as Octopus Gardens...It was as if I was on dry land...Except that when you looked out a window ,all you saw was the sea and aquatic life swimming by...

The Bistro was beautiful...And the assortment of people walking around was astounding...

We were seated and we checked out a menu....

"Nate, you didn't have to do this...I'm a cop too...I know what you make...Can I help you out with the bill?" she said.

"NO you can not...I promised you I'd take you someplace nice...And I'm going to do this..Now stop worrying...I saved up for this...I'll be fine...Order what you want..And don't be jive and just order a salad either..Your dad and your sister told me you like to eat.."I laughed..

"Ouuuuu, I'm gonna kill them" laughed Monica..

"Good Memories Huh?" I said...

"Yes it was....Now we have to find our suspect..." said Monica...

II-

She wasn't hard to spot...

Rose Norwood, a dancer who we had interviewed earlier in this investigation was traced to this new bistro at Aqua Port... She didn't look too happy... The man that was sitting with her seemed to be a bit aggressive.

"Look , I told you...I don't dance at the club anymore and I don't date...At least not strangers...Now will you leave me alone?" she said forcibly..

"Everybody's a stranger until you get to know em baby! Now Come on!" said the man...

"Take your hands off of me, just because I let you buy me a few drinks, doesn't mean I'm going back to your room with you...you need ro cool off." she said.

"What you need to understand is that I am a man...a man with needs, a man with a huge penis who desperately wants to put it in you...."said the man.. He had his hands snaking up her skirt again....rubbing her legs and now tugging at the waistband of her panty hose....

"Is that turning you on?  It's turning me on....I-I can't concentrate." he said.

Rose laughed.. "You're a neanderthal, that's what you are....Is that your way of asking me? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...You've had your hands on my legs for the past half hour and you've been running them up my skirt...now you're tugging on the waist band of my pantyhose again...It's quite obvious that that is what you want....but it's not gonna happen babe...Not tonight, Not ever...I like my men to have a little style, a little personality....You HAVE NEITHER!" she said , removing his hands..

"WHAT?" said the man...

"YOU HEARD THE LADY! BEAT IT!" I said..

I showed him my gold shield and

My Glock, with the safety off...

"YOU HEARD HIM, GO PAY YOUR BILL AND GET OUT OF HERE!" said Monica.

She didn't pull her gun...She just showed her badge... It all was enough for him..

"Oh...Ohhhhhhhhh...youse guys are cops....Sure thing! Sorry mam...I'm so sorry...Have a good afternoon officers....Ohhhhhhh Oh lord!" said the man, who broke into a cold sweat and immediately exited the table and the bar....

"Detectives...Detectives...THANK YOUUUUU!  Thank you sooo much....I was beginning to get a little worried about that guy....Sit down....Take a load off."said Rose.

"Hello Rose." I said.

"Hi Rose....or should I call you by your birth name, Rachel Gibson?" asked Monica.

"It is Rachel, but not Rachel Gibson...It's Rachel Johnson....I'm from Miami....I changed my name to Rose to escape my husband....I was in a bad marriage...He was beating me and then stalking me...after we seperated and eventually divorced....I was so scared of him that I left Miami and traveled as far as I could...I took on a new Social security number, got my drivers license and social security cards changed under my new name, Rose Norwood.. I've been Rose Norwood for the past 10 years...My bank account, My credit cards, My social security, my employment records...They all say Rose Norwood and I would like to keep it that way...Rachel Johnson has ceased to exist for a long while now." she said.

Monica scanned her mind... She was actually telling the truth! And she would be a little older than the mysterious Rachel Gibson... It's great having a partner who is a Telepathic Mutant, who can read minds and feel people's emotions...She's a human lie detector.

"I believe you....Your secret is safe with us.." said Monica.. "But we had to check." she said.

"I understand....Still no luck in catching your killer huh?" asked Rose.

"None at all." I said.

And at what was becoming our serial killer's dump site....another discovery was being made...

"Wow this guy was shot in the head....One time, 22 caliber bullet.."said a crime scene investigator..."

"This his car?" asked Detective Kylie White...

"No but there is an awful lot of blood in this car....Some of it fresh, some of it dried..." said another Crime scene Investigator..

"He's only been dead ,little under 15 minutes....His body is still warm..."said Monique..

"Which means he or she couldn't have gotten far. Search this tunnel..."said Lt. Cotton.

As a team of Tactical squads men flooded the tunnel...

A woman in a hoodie walked idly by them....

"I saw someone running in that direction." she said and kept walking until she was out of sight...

"This man apparently was shot in this car and then the car had engine trouble and the killer had to get out before he or she could abandon the body......"said Lt. Cotton.

He looked at the car....

"Nice ride..." he said..."Shame." he added..

"This murder just happened...The killer couldn't have gotten that far on foot....They had to still be hanging around.... That woman in the hoodie...We should have stopped her...THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN OUR KILLER!" said Kylie...

But it was too late...The mysterious woman in the hoodie was gone.

III-

We all met at the Medical Examiner's Office a little while later...

''We totally crapped out.. We missed the killer by minutes and it's possible the killer walked right by us.."said a frustrated Detective Kylie White... She pointed to the body of the man on the slab...

"This is our latest victim...Donnie Porter...He has no connection to our three other victims at all." she sighed..

"Mo Mo...We know this guy!!!" I said looking at the body of the recently deceased...

"Yeah, that's the guy who was getting aggressive with Rose in the bar, who we ran off....He was in their at Aquaport when we were questioning Rose AKA Rachel Johnson, Not Rachel Gibson...He must've been killed right after we ran him off.."said Monica.

"I don't think this guy was a target....You said he was getting aggressive...I think he was a kill by convenience..and then the killer's car had engine trouble and he or she, assuming our killer is a woman had to abandon ship." said Kylie..

showing us a photo of the scary looking car the last victim was found in.

Monique walked in just then....

"The Lab report is back...In addition to the fresh blood from the deceased....The dried blood in the car matches that of dr. Knopf, Barry Clarke and Wallace Thornton...They all were in this car....and there is a fresh palm print in this car that hasn't been identified...From the size of it..we are guessing it belongs to a woman!"said Monique..

"This car was reported stolen.. weeks ago, just before the killing started..." said Lt. Cotton...

Which brought us back to where we started.... Nowhere!and with a fourth murder attached to our killer.

Back in the squad room, Monica and I were sitting around, talking..

"You know partner, when we were searching for our "Rachel", something else came up as a surprise...I kind of shifted it to the back of my mind,but now with no other leads in this baffling case...I have to bring this up." said Monica.

'What's that Mo Mo? " I asked..

"Just as routine...I looked into everybody's background involved with the case, The first two victims, Wallace Thornton, Barry Clarke, Wallace Thornton's wife, Pete Pierson and Pete Pierson's wife' Laura Pierson and here was the funny thing...

LAURA PIERSON DOESN'T SEEM TO EXIST PAST FOUR YEARS AGO.... There is no birth certificate for her anywhere in the 50 states...At least not under that name...Her Social security number is phony....It belongs to a "Laura Pierson" who was 101 and died seven years before.. Her bank account and all of her credit cards were opened up four years ago... There are no high school or college records of her anywhere at all under that name and the college she said she graduated from never heard of her..

Her marriage license is only three years old..As is her drivers license. No employment dating past four years ago anywhere.... Now she hasn't committed any crimes....but that is sending me red flags...The same red flags we got when we discovered that Rose did the exact same thing...but for a different reason....." said Monica.

"Rose was hiding from a bad marriage...What is her reason?" I asked.

"We'll never know if we don't ask her."said Monica.  "Call Kylie, request back up...Let's go!" said Monica.

And there we were, once again up in the air headed for the unknown as we had done so many times before in the past...Me and my partner.

IV-

Laura Pierson was not at home, so we decided to head to Pete Pierson's office..

THE OFFICE OF PETE PIERSON, ATTORNEY AT LAW-

A Gun was pointed at the head of Pete Pierson...

"Laura....it ...it was you? You killed Warren and Barry?  You killed those other two men....Why? WHY?" said a frightened Pete Pierson...

"First all, let's get something straight....My name is Rachel Gibson... Laura was the new identity I gave myself..It's me!  Little Rachel, who was selling girl scout cookies when your two best buds raped me ,stole my innocence at 12...You didn't take part in it, but you watched...You stood there and watched and you refused to back my story up......You know I was married to you for a year before I realized who you were...When you invited those two slugs to our house and both of them made an unwanted advance on me when you were out of sight....Then it all came flooding back to me and I waited patiently,patiently for the right time to take you bastards out...They didn't recognize me...They had forgot...I reminded both of them who I really was before I killed them!  Wally and Barry both begged and cried like the little bitches they were...I enjoyed shooting them!" said Rachel...

"Why? Why did you kill that Doctor...None of us knew him?" asked her frightened husband...

"He was my psychiatrist...and that nasty buzzard tried to get in my panties too! Tried to make me feel guilty because I wouldn't let him... He was the only one of the three ,who didn't beg for his life when I killed him." she sneered...

"What about the man you killed yesterday?  What did he do to you? You didn't even know him.."asked her husband...

"I was in Aqua Port...I was stalking those two detectives....They were asking too many questions, getting too close, when I ran into this fool at the bar...he insisted on telling me how big his penis was and how bad he wanted to put it in me...I killed him for the hell of it...Then my damn car broke down and I had to leave it.." she sneered.. "Any more questions before I kill you now?" she asked.

"Put it down Rachel....It's all over...We know everything....The bloody palm print left in the car was a match for you...You had to be fingerprinted when you got your last job at the bank...We did a quick Civil service check...We know it was you in that car and the dried blood and DNA of all four of your victims was in that car.. It's all over... PUT IT DOWN!" I said..

"PUT IT DOWN RACHEL!!! THE GAME IS OVER!" said Monica, who had her gun drawn also...She could see all of the past trauma...The Rape, The murders, all of it in Rachel's head...and feel her rage,...It was no longer locked in her deep subconscious...It was all out to be seen and felt by her..

Kylie gently took the gun out of her hands...

Monica put the handcuffs on her...

"Thank You detectives....Thank you!   Rachel....I'm going to do everything in my power to help you."said Pete Pierson..

"Save it...I don't want your help...I DON'T NEED YOUR DAMN HELP!! I GOT MY REVENGE!!!

MOST OF IT ANYWAY!!"said Rachel Gibson as

She was read her rights and officers led her away......

"Well guys, this case is down!" I said.

"Wowwwwww! This is one for the books." said Monica.

"I'll say." said Kylie..

EPILOUGE-

Rachel Gibson received a number of psychiatric tests...That all said she was sane, she understood what she did and would be able to stand trial for 4 counts of Capital Murder.

Her husband, Pete Pierson acted as her defense attorney and attempted to argue "diminished capacity" as a defense...

Shefired him and was subsequently convicted on all four charges of Capital Murder and sentenced to die by Lethal Injection....

A Sad ending to an even sadder beginning.....

Nightfall came..

We were both relieved to have cracked this baffling case and to have several days off..

"I don't know about you partner...but I'm going to take a hot shower and relax.."said Monica.

"Can I join you?" I asked, smiling raffishly...

"Uh no...Not this time...but you'll definitely enjoy it, when you get finished yours." laughed Monica..

Monica lie across the bed in her lace panties, waiting for me to come out of the shower.....She had already showered...

We had cracked a seemingly uncrackable case... We had a little bit of luck going for us...plus the keen insights and constant searching and prying.

I honestly thought these murders were going to go cold and the elusive killer slip into the night, never to be heard from again...but she got sloppy and there was where the luck factor kicked in... We just happened to be around at the right time to stumble upon her...

Right this minute...I wanted to stumble into my wife,lying across the bed, looking as sexy as ever...

We said nothing...We didn't need to...We kissed passionately.....She stroked me softly and stared in my eyes...

I thrusted my tongue practically down her throat and while squeezing one breast with my hand...and licking on the other one with my mouth"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY GOD, OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" she screamed as I continued to thrust , harder and feverishly more.....

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY GOD, OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" she screamed as I entered her yet again...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" I moaned silently...

 I laid her across her bed , a few minutes later and 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..I kissed her neck, between her breasts, her cheeks....She continued to kiss my lips and my ears and my chest...

"Ohhh My God...Nate..ouuuu you are so hard....ouuuuuuuuuuu" she moaned..

"Ohhhhh Mo-Mo- You get me that way" I said.

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 even kissed my shoulder at one point...She was so soft...so moist and smelled so good...I was losing my mind....She was shaking and looking like she was on the verge of crying the entire time.......

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...OHHH MY GOODNESS...OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" she moaned loudly ,obviously not caring who heard us....

We made sweet passionate and intense love like this for EIGHT TO NINE HOURS...Monica began to shake and gyrate and tears began to stream down her face again....I was surprised at how passionate she was ...

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....Oh my god Nate..." she moaned as the bed squeaked and the headboard slammed hard against the wall...

"Mo-mo....oh my godddddddddddddddddd!" I found myself moaning out loud...

"It's sooooooooooooooo goooddd...Oh my godddddddddddddd it's soooooo gooood Oh my Goddd Nate....ohhhhh don't stoppp, don't stopp...don't ever stop...ouuuuuuuuuuuu" she screamed as we both climaxed in a crescendo of sweat!

She slipped her panties back on.....

 She would later tell me that she was having an orgasm so intense that all she could do was cry..!! I was coming so hard,I felt like I was dying...

"My goodness Nate..." was all she would say...staring at me with those doe like eyes...

Monica stared at me with those pretty doe like eyes of hers and laid on top of me..Kissing me softly and softly caressing my penis until I came again..

I smiled sheepishly....She crawled on top of me and drifted off to sleep..I wrapped my arms around her and slowly drifted off to sleep myself...

Another case closed.... Me and My partner!
