The Blue Sky Diner

 Captain Lou Stewart was becoming a royal pain in the ass...He was at our shop everyday inquiring about the serial killing case that was our number one priority, though not our only priority..

Carlotta, Tyriq, Jimmy and Lt. Danny Ho of Robbery-Homicide investigated a number of home invasions that turned to murder...

and arrested a suspect...The ring leader and his 10 accomplices...A Very successful case...

He piggy backed on another unrelated case with Sirena and Hop and The FBI and ATF

In which they arrested 39 members of a Gun smuggling ring and solved three murders related to it...

Two very big investigations...

He left at 5:00 pm everyday....Thinking that we were leaving for the day too... Some of us left and went to our homes..

To get our mail and check on things...  but we were right back at headquarters....by 6:00...

in time for dinner....

Upstairs with the Feds, we continued to work on this case...

Unknown to him...we had the case files from the other two murders...The one in 2017 and the one in 2018...

We studied them carefully, along with the four most recent cases...

 "When we first cross checked these girls, we couldn't find a connection..They didn't appear to know each other...They had little in common...but now we've found it.."said Sissy.

"These two girls.. The one in 2017 and the one on 2018 did know each other...The two detectives didn't discover that until they started working together and comparing notes.." said Carlotta.

''And get this...they knew and associated with our first victim, our second victim and our third victim.."said Tyriq....

"Though not at the same times....These girls all worked as waitresses in the Blue Sky diner.. It's not on Broad Street...it's a few blocks in , but these five girls all worked there at different times and might have been in each other's company." said Jimmy.

''What about girl four?" asked Sirena...

"She didn't work there...but she ate there quite a bit...and she gassed her car at a nearby gas station...She definitely did business in that area., FIVE OF THESE GIRLS WERE LAST SEEN LEAVING THAT DINER AND WALKING THROUGH THAT SMALL DRIVEWAY THAT LEAdS RIGHT TO BROAD STREET...IT WAS A SHORT CUT!" said Hop.

"Then the key is that diner...I think me and Ang are going to drop over to that diner and talk to some people." said Duke.

"In fact...We should leave here before Captain Stewart gets here...He shouldn't know where we are." said Angie.. "I don't want him hanging over my shoulder like he did those other two investigations." said Angie.

"He wasn't as bad as Lt. Tragg...but he was just in the way, our entire investigation of that gun smuggling ring... And I heard he did the same thing with that Home Invasion investigation..." said Sharon.

"Did you look at this sketch? The one our eyewitness described to the sketch artist?" I asked.

"It looks strangely like our good Captain." said Jimmy...

"Very closely like our good Captain..."said Carlotta..

"Oh My God!  I've suspected , but I didn't want to think it....If he's our Broad Street Strangler, right here amongst us..He definitely wouldn't want us to see that sketch...and our fifth victim she fought him, scratched him... That's his skin under her nails and his blood on her...He doesn't know about that, thank god.." said Sirena.

"That explains why he never eats here...Never even drinks a soda or has any coffee..." said Tyriq..

"How careful is he?  He leaves no DNA behind...There are no prints...The two files of the previous cases are destroyed or so he thinks...and the sketch that could have put him on front street is destroyed or so he thinks...and the one person who saw him , who could have put the finger on him is tossed out a window...wowwwww!" said Hop.

"It looks pretty suspicious...but as an Attorney, I should tell you...All you have is circumstantial..right now...Not enough to make a good arrest and make it stick as of now.." I said.

Detective Tony Hopkins and his wife, Deputy Special Agent in charge of the FBI and ATF, Sharon Hopkins were both licensed Attorneys....and both knew that I was correct...

"I don't want this case discussed around him at all... Maybe if he thinks it's stone cold...he'll go away..Stop hanging around here." said Sissy.

''At the rate we are going...We won't solve this case until May, when he retires."joked Angie..

"That's not funny Ang!" laughed Tyriq.

II-

The Blue Sky Diner was a few blocks from Broad Street.....

Angie and Duke traveled there , early the next morning....

"Duke this place is nice...It's pretty....I'm surprised I've never heard of it before this case.." said Angie.

''I've heard of it...I've actually been here before...It was years ago...I thought this place was closed." said Duke.

"Buy me breakfast..." said Angie...

"I do owe you breakfast.....I owe you two...Okay.." said Duke.

They ordered Eggs, Grits, Hash browns and sausage....

The Manager sat with us as we requested...

"I didn't make you two for cops...at least not her." he said , smiling at Angie..

Angie showed him some photos....Two were of girls who died in 2018 and 2019  and three were of our first three victims..

"I knew all five of them...They all worked here, though not all at the same time...but their paths probably crossed.. I had to let em go...They dated customers, if you know what I mean for extra dough...I'm not a pimp and I wasn't running that kind of establishment......I gave a statement to two detectives back when both of these girls died...Neither one of them ever returned and I was never called ." he said.

Duke showed him a photo of our fourth victim....

"She didn't work here...but she used to come in here a lot...she worked at the Gas Station across the street..It was Hess back when she worked there...It's under new management...now..it's Conoco." he said.

"Anybody you know dated all of these girls?" asked Angie.

"Nah, but there is this old guy.....He was always trying to get dates with them, always bothering them...Real handsy....always running his hands up their skirts, They slapped him a few times..

He still comes in here to eat... I had to put him out Sunday...." said the Manager..

"Yeah...I think he's a cop...an old cop...He reached up under my skirt and tried to pull my panties down...just Sunday... Nasty Buzzard....I don't find him amusing at all..."said the waitress...

Duke showed her a sketch made by our now deceased eyewitness...

"Yeah that's Lou....That's him..."said the manager..

''Did you say Lou?" asked Angie.

''Yeah, that's him...Lou....I think he's a cop.... He's been coming in here for years..and been just a pain in the ass to the girls who worked here." said the manager.

Further down Broad Street Carlotta, Tyriq and Jimmy were interviewing the owner of a check cashing store..

Carlotta showed the owner a photo of our fourth and fifth victims...

''Yes I know them both...They applied for Payday loans from here...This one pay back..This one did not.." said the owner..

"Both of these girls come here together?" asked Tyriq..

''No, I don't think they knew each other, but both were street workers... Prostitutes..."said the man...He pointed to the photo of our fourth victim....

"Her! she argue with man, old man..He had driven her here in car...He didn't want to pay her what she asked for...Just a few weeks ago...They get in loud shouting match." he said.

"You got any film footage?" asked Jimmy...

He showed us film footage....we clearly saw our fourth victim.....

"The windows are tinted...The man...He's sitting in a way you can't see his face.....The camera can't catch his face....but recognize that jacket??" said Carlotta.

"I sure do... and I've got a partial on that license plate." said Tyriq..

"That car looks an awful lot like a friend of ours, doesn't it?" said Tyriq.

"It sure does Rico. We can only see part of the license plate number." said Carlotta.

"Give it to me...I'll run it down." said Jimmy.

And at our headquarters... Lt. Tragg was once again in our day room..

"You know Sissy, you don't fool me... You guys made that Gun Smuggling case, that wasn't really yours..It was a Federal Case and then you made that Home Invasion case...that actually belonged to Robbery-Homicide.....It all makes your unit look good in the eyes of the Deputy Of Operations...meanwhile disguising the fact that you have five open murders, the work of a serial killer that you guys can't crack....The Deputy of Operations hasn't forgot and he still wants action on this.In fact...If you guys don't crack this case soon...He's going to assign additional detectives to it and make me the Chief detective on this." said Lt. Tragg.

Captain Stewart really wished Lt. Tragg would leave this alone...He wanted this case to go cold.. He was over the moon that Sissy's detectives were working other cases in the meanwhile and had put this case on the back burner..

Unknown to him...They were back here after hours...long after he'd gone home, working this case..

"I seriously doubt that." said Sissy with a laugh..

Sirena and Hop were at their desks.....They were the only detectives in the office.

''Where are the rest of your detectives?" he asked.

"They're on the street, running down leads...Isn't that what you said they should be doing? They're on Broad Street." said Sissy.

Captain Stewart was nervous....He wished he had known they were on Broad Street..He needed to be with them, to see who they might be talking to...He eased out of his chair and slipped out of the office..

He got in his car and pulled off.. Headed for Broad Street.

"Get Out Of My Office....We have work to do.... I assure you...Whether the Deputy Of Operations assigns additional detectives to this case or not...YOU won't be running it...Good day Lieutenant." said Sissy, walking away.

Lt. Tragg turned and walked out of the office also..

''He just doesn't seem to get the message...You want me to go to the deputy Of Operations myself Siss?" I asked.

"Nah forget it....When we crack this case and I have every confidence we will... Lt. Tragg won't want to come around here for awhile." laughed Sissy.

III-

Nightfall came..

All of us were in our rooms...

Sissy walked into her room...

Her husband Eddie C. was already there..

They said nothing...they began kissing passionately..

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm I finally get some of the hard working boss lady...." he moaned in between hot smouldering kisses..

"YESSSSS...THE BOSS LADY BECOMES YOUR LADY ONCE AGAIN!" moaned Sissy....

"OH MY GOD!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT YOU WEAR UNDER YOUR BUSINESS SUITS!" he cried out!

"It's all for you...All for you my love.." she said as he slipped her bra off and slipped her panties down..

 Once in the room, or rather to the door of their room, both were kissing each other passionately...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh Eddie...Eddie...Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..I need you inside me.."moaned Sissy...

"Oh My God girl, I can't wait..." he said..

She could feel his erection and see the huge bulge in his trousers...

"Oh MY GOODNESS...I see...." she exclaimed...Smiling at him as he kissed her hungrilly...
.

 Eddie eased Sissy up against the wall and began kissing her passionately...She returned his  passion....his shirt went to the floor as he continued kissing her and she continued kissing him..

"Oh My God...Eddie....Ouuuuu...you are huge!!!..Close the  door, we don't want everyone seeing us" she exclaimed..as he began sucking on her breasts.....Eddie took his foot and kicked the door shut.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh Eddie....ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.." she moaned as he slipped her panties down ......

He thrusted his tongue practically down her throat , while squeezing one breast with his hand...he lifted her up and positioned her on him as he entered her and began thrusting away...

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY GOODNESS ,EDDIE... OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH EASY BABY...EASYYY....SLOW DOWN...I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE...OUUUUUU..WEEEEE." she screamed as he continued to thrust , harder and feverishly more.....

 Eddie laid Sissy across the bed , a few minutes later and  entered her softly and gently and began to stroke her softly and slowly.

.....She moaned and put her arms around his neck and drew him closer to her..She wrapped her legs around his waste and they began to move in a slow, yet deliberate rhythm for quite some time...She matched him thrust for thrust and even bit his shoulder at one point...She was so soft...so moist and smelled so good...Eddie was losing his mind....and his self..

They made sweet passionate and intense love for the next EIGHT TO NINE HOURS...

Sissy began to shake and gyrate and tears began to stream down her face again....She marveled at how long this man could last and how he was bringing her to orgasm so many times in one session...Surprisingly....All of her detectives were back by now, in their rooms for the night most likely doing the same thing.

"It's sooooooooooooooo goooddd...Oh my godddddddddddddd it's soooooo gooood! I love you...I love you so muchhhhh Eddie....ohhhhh don't stoppp, don't stopp..." she screamed as they both climaxed in a crescendo of sweat!

"AWWWWWW LAWDDDD SISSY..I CAN'T CONTROL MYSELF...AWWWWW
Good LAWDDD girl..."moaned Eddie...He felt like his body was falling apart! He came harder than he had in awhile and just kept cumming and cumming...

"Oh My God.....you finished there?" asked Sissy....

"Damn girl...I feel like I just died.." he said trying to catch his breath..

 Sissy finally sat up...She was breathing heavily and still shaking...still climaxing...

"Ouuuuuuu...Ouuuuuuuu..Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Eddie.." she said...

Eddie was sitting on the side of the bed with his head in his hands..He was trembling...Scared out of his mind....He had never experienced anything or anyone who made him feel as turned on as Sissy did!

Sissy gently rubbed  her soft hands across his back.....

He had only meant to have a quickie...35 minutes or more like they had in her office sometimes during lunch break....but he couldn't stop himself this time...He was certainly glad none of the guys had returned yet...

"Damn Siss...I feel like I just died.." he said trying to catch his breath.."That was sooo goood...Wow!" he said...

Sissy smiled..

"You'll live! Want some more?" she asked..

She straddled him and began to ride him on the side of the bed...deep throat kissing him and riding him like a surfer rides the waves.....

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU..WOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!" she cried out as she moved up and down..

"OHHHHHHHHHHH MY GODDDDD! YESSSSSSSSSSSs!" he cried out...

She rode him cowgirl style.... for another THREE HOURS!

Eddie came so hard, he was sure he had died....and gone to Heaven....

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWW LAWWWWWWD!" Eddie moaned....sitting on the side of the bed, trying to catch his breath...

Sissy worked hard and played hard too!

She lie on top of him and slowly drifted off to sleep....

Captain Lou Stewart, tortured soul that he was...

drove his car through our cul de sac..

The lights at all of our houses were off... He was certain we were all asleep....He had no idea  that none of us was home.. that we were all miles away..

at our headquarters where we had been spending the night...working on this case in the afternoon when he wasn't around.

IV-

THE NEXT MORNING-

Captain Lou Stewart walked in to our day room... He was surprised that neither Sissy, nor any of her detectives were in..

''Where is everybody?" he asked.

Sharon and I were drinking coffee..

"They are at the M.E.'s office... We might have a new lead on this serial killer case." I said.

"With that Home Invasion Case and that Gun Smuggling case down and the murderers on ice, they decided to get back to this." said Sharon...

"Maybe I can ugh catch up with them..." said Captain Stewart...

Sharon and I looked at each other as he left... We now knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that he was the Broad Street Strangler.. We just needed a little more solid evidence to make an arrest.

The truth of the matter is...They weren't at the M.E.'s Office...at least not anymore.. They were at Goggins Independent DNA LABORATORIES....

Dr. Goggins, a well respected Geneticist , used by Attorneys addressed us..

"Good Morning...So Many Attorneys and Private Investigators. use my services....I was wondering when the police would geta round to it...Welcome... In the killings in 2017 and 2018, there was the same thing, the bursting of a condom and a little bit of semen spilled...We matched that to the DNA taken from your fifth victim and we got a 99 % match...Meaning the first two girls and your fifth victim were definitely killed by the same man...The other four young ladies  don't have any DNA evidence left behind, but they have fingerprints on the panties we were able to pull and they are all a match...but to who , we don't know...The prints ,nor the DNA is in VICAP, INTERPOL or local records... Not in the Military either." said Dr. Goggins.

 "Which places us at square one...right back where we started..."said Sissy.

"We all have our suspicions about who our perpetrator might be.." said Carlotta,

"Only We can't prove it...This person doesn't eat....At least not around us... He doesn't so much as drink a cup of coffee and toss a cup in a trash can." said Tyriq..

"He does touch the chairs he sits in..We might be able to pull a print from there."said Jimmy.

"We gotta get creative." said Sirena.

"And Lucky...Maybe both." said Hop.

''Well I do know one thing.. He hangs out at the Blue Sky Diner...and from what I've heard..He makes himself quite a nuisance in there..running his hands up the young ladies dresses...yanking on the waistband of their panties." said Duke. 

"He's Lt. Tragg on steroids...and from what I understand...Five of our murder victims worked there as waitresses over the past 10 years, but not all at the same time and all were girls who would date the male customers for extra money." said Angie.

"You know....I used to work in that Diner, before I became a cop!....I worked at Josie's too!" said Jimmy.......

"The Many Layers of the Jimmy Onion." said his wife Angie...

Who placed a soft kiss on his lips..

Hazel smiled....

"We have been relying on genetic information people voluntarily made public...They did this with little reason to believe that it might one day be used against them in a criminal trial.. We used Family tree searches and guess what? The family of one of your officers comes up... A Captain Louis Stewart....All I need is a positive DNA match and I am 100 percent certain that you have your man..." said Dr. Goggins.

"I told you this case would be made on DNA." said Hazel...

Sissy smiled.

HOURS LATER-

"WOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!! HEYYYYYYY WATCH IT MAN!" said a waitress who passed by...

Captain Lous Stewart had ran his hands up her skirt and squeezed her butt as she walked by,.......

He had yanked up her skirt, exposing her thong..

''Come on Baby...it's almost 11.00...I'll give you a ride home.." he said.. "Pretty thong!" he added.

"You must be out of your mind..I'm Not going anywhere with you." said Brenda the waitress..

She was getting ready to slap him when she saw a Familliar face..

"JIMMY!!! James Barlow...what do you know? What do you say?" she said.

"BRENDA!!! HEYYY BABY!" said Jimmy, hugging the waitress... "Hey Cap, what are you doing here?" asked Jimmy...who knew he'd be there..

"I uh like the Meat Loaf...I come here quite a bit.."laughed Captain Stewart nervously..

"I came here to get that Key Lime Pie for my wife...She loves it.."said Jimmy.

"Sure  thing...I'll get it for you....That's right...you're married now.....Ohhh wow!  And a Detective....Way to go Jimmy.... Hey can you give a ride home?" she asked.. They had grown up in the same Port Richmond neighborhood...

''Sure.." said Jimmy, who looked around... Captain Stewart was gone!

Jimmy looked at his empty plate , the knives and the forks and the coffee cup and spoon...He looked at Brenda..

"Baby...you got a hefty trash can liner? Gather up everything he ate with, spoons, knives ,forks, plate and coffee cup....I'll explain it to you later.." he said.

"Sure " said the waitress with a puzzled look..

Brenda got in the car with Jimmy....He placed the bag in the trunk of his car and they pulled off..She wouldn't be waiting for the C Bus tonight...or taking the Broad Street Subway home..

She didn't realize it...but Jimmy saved her life tonight..

(CONCLUSION NEXT)
