He Who Sleeps with Fishes

 

I had only had a few hours sleep after a marathon lovemaking session with my wife Sepia when I got a call that another young woman was found murdered...I rushed to the scene...Luckily my friends, Sissy and her detectives were on site...

"She was strangled and her neck was broken...Whoever did this had big hands.."said a Crime Scene Investigator.. While another snapped photos...

"Body temperature says she hasn't been here two long....two to three hours tops."said Dr. Hazel Baylor, so glad she was working this case with Lt. Sissy Van Buren and her detectives and not Lt. Tragg.

"She looks young....just like the other one.."said Marcy Martin..

"Thanks for calling me.," I said. "Dr. Martin...I thought you had left us." I said.

"I'm Back, for good....It's a long story." said Dr. Marcy Martin.

"I've got enough information on this freak to at least detain him...."said ADA Keith Wallace ,looking at the body of the second murdered girl in two days..a prostitute or escort...

 "We'll pick him up...Question him...let him go, but keep a tight string on his tail." said Sissy...

"I'd like to tie a tight string around his neck.." said an angry Detective Carlotta Wallace...

"I hear ya Top." said Detective Tyriq Pile.

"Her name is Madeline Clark, she's 18...She's from Kensington...Her job ID in her purse says she works for the Astro Escort Service and works as a Hospitality Maid at a nearby hotel during the day...She was enrolled at Community College." said Jimmy.

"She had just graduated from High School , this past June...She was just a baby!" said Detective Sirena Pile..

"Damn.....this guy is a monster." said her partner...Detective Tony Hopkins...

"A Monster we intend to capture and take off the streets...Two girls in Berlin, Two Girls in Paris, Two girls in London and now two girls here...there aint gonna be no more."said a solemn Detective Edwin "Duke" Baylor.

"As is his Pattern, after his business is done, a Purchase of something or a major financial acquisition, he's gone...And that major acquisition is the portrait he's in town for.." said Detective Angie Belton..

"Thank you for calling me... Oh My God, another young girl? An Escort??" asked Bonnie, who was just arriving on the scene.

 "Yes and both were from the Astro Escort Service... Carlotta, Rico, Jimmy....pay them a visit..."said Sissy.

"With Pleasure." said Carlotta.

"On it Siss." said Tyriq...

"On it Boss Lady." said Jimmy....

"Sirena, Hop, pick him up..." said Sissy.

"Let's go partner." said Sirena.

"Let me call some back up." said Hop...

"Duke, Angie...I've got 49 warrants , all signed,.....Pick up all of Mr. Porter's drug associates ..The charge is Money Laundering, Wire Fraud, Mail Fraud, Extortion....You guys have built an air tight case on all of them...It's time for them to pay to the piper."said ADA Keith Wallace.

''What About Mr. Porter and Stinger?" asked Duke.

''We don't have enough on those two yet...but I'm hoping to flip one or maybe two or three of these charactors into turning in States Evidence against him..."said Keith Wallace.

"Finally after all this time, We are about to put a tag on the "Teflon Don" Johnny Porter." said Angie.

We all watched as the body of the young woman was put in a body bag and strapped to a gurney and rolled to an ambulance.

"Where does that leave our investigation?  The return of that portrait?" asked Bonnie.

"Yeah this does leave us in a precarious position." I said.

"We are going to have to release him....I'm sure you know, as we do that he has already wired 12.5 million from his Swiss Bank account into Johnny Porter's account... All we have to do is wait for the transfer of the portrait and then we can arrest him and hold him long enough to get some evidence in these two murders.."said Sissy.

"This is why we have always worked well together Siss, over all these years." I said, smiling.

THE OFFICE OF JOHNNY PORTER-

Johnny was not in a good mood.

" WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?  I'VE USED THAT ESCORT AGENCY FOR YEARS WITHOUT A PROBLEM.... THAT'S TWO GIRLS ...TWO GIRLS SENT TO YOU AND BOTH OF EM ARE DEAD!!! NO MORE...NO MORE!!" screamed Johnny Porter.

"Relax Mr. Porter..Relax...I have done nothing wrong.."laughed a smug Vladmir Arkady..

"Look Man...The cops are probably at that agency now... I know you used a phony credit card to pay and they never saw you....but they are gonna be all over that place....."said Johnny Porter.

"I just wired 12.5 million in American money into your account....As soon as we make the exchange...I'll be out of your hair.." said Vladmar Arkady...

"Tonight....or rather this afternoon at the harbor...don't be late.... I'm sending my man out to make the exchange." said Johnny Porter..

"I'd prefer you send your pretty assistant, the one who met me at the airport..."laughed Arkady.

"Absolutely not... Not with your reputation with the ladies." said Johnny Porter..

Both men laughed....

But not as much as me and Bonnie were laughing...We had the entire conversation on tape...

There was a knock on Vladmar's door....

Vladmar answered the door..

"Hello, May I help you.?" he asked innocently...

He was greeted by a phlanx of policemen...

"I am Detective Sirena Pile and we would like a word of your time at police headquarters..." said Sirena sweetly...

Hop looked at hm sternly, unsmiling....

"I wish every police inspector who took me into custody was as attractive as you Detective Sirena..." he said...

"The Die is cast...He's been arrested.." I said.

"Stinger is the man we should follow...He 'll lead us to the portrait.." said Bonnie Shay...

At The ASTRO ESCORT SERVICE-

The distraught manager of the escort service was more than happy to talk to detectives....

She too felt there was a connection to the man who asked for two young women....

Vladmir Arkady had made a bunch of mistakes...Mistakes he hadn't made in Europe...For one...He called on the phone both times and his calls were recorded... He used two phony credit cards....the same cards used in London, Paris and Berlin when he had been there...

Tyriq had video of hm receiving the first girl at his hotel... and the second girl had a DNA sample on the strap of her bra... his saliva...

"We've got to call Interpol.....They have a DNA sample from one of the killings....If it matches what we got....We got this guy." said Jimmy...

Duke ,Angie  aided by Robbery- Homicide Lt. Danny Ho and Tactical squad policemen arrested 49 associates of Tony Porter, all members of three powerful Drug Organizations who were laundering dirty money through Johnny's organization...and in turn , buying a package from him to sell on the streets.

Sharon Hopkins and a squad of FBI And ATF agents raided two warehouses and made 28 arrests of people preparing to sell weapons.....This money was laundered through Johnny Porter's restaurant and Pawn Shops...

Carol Redding and her DEA agents raided yet another warehouse and rounded up enough Heroin, Cocaine and other opiates to juice half of the city...

It had been a good morning for law enforcement.

All under our watchful eyes.... The information Sissy's undercover had gleaned and the information our electronic surveilience had picked up of telephone conversations and such had helped enormously...

"Oh My God...Johnny Porter's world is being shook up....His buyer is in custody and 49 of his associates just got popped...and his warehouses and pawn shops raided and shut down...I'm sure he's feeling the pinch." said Bonnie, laughing.

"He must be going nuts. Now if we can just shake the location of that portrait loose. If he made as much money on it as I think...He's not long for Philadelphia... He's going to take the money and run.." I said..laughing..

III-

THE OFFICE OF JOHNNY PORTER-

"I went down to Central Booking with the Attorney...We got him out...He's back in the hotel...Where we told him to sit tight...I'm glad the exchange is tonight...He gives me the creeps.....I suppose you heard the other bad news...The Cops arrested 49 of our associates...associates we do business with...our attorneys are telling them to sit tight ,until they find out what the state has for evidence against them.. The Federallis raided our warehouses...they got guns and drugs, everything... People are talking too much on phones and stuff...We've got to tighten up..." said Krystal Carter...

 "I heard about all of that.." he said....He jangled her smart watch...."You left this behind Krystal...I uh just happened to check your GPS....You didn't go home after you left Aqua Bar the other night...I suppose you were uh soooooo tired and so drunk that you stopped out of your way to Stinger's apartment and uh spent the night huh?" he laughed..

"Johnny, Johnny, it's not what you think..Baby, please...It was business...We spoke about business.." said Krystal...

"Monkey Business....No man talks business with a woman dressed the way you were dressed at that time of night.  It's exactly what I think.... Don't lie to me Krystal it's so unsexy..... Your Apartment has already been emptied and cleaned out....Here is the key and the address of the storage facility your things are in...and you've got 30 days to find someplace else to put them......I  have already had your car , or rather MY CAR, impounded... It's on it's way back to the dealership...and you can call an UBER or take Public Transportation to wherever you're going to stay....As of now your employment and involvement with me is terminated...."said Johnny Porter coldly... 

"You bastard....You slimy bastard.....You're not half the man Stinger is in the bed....If you had of been ,I would have never given Stinger the time of day....You You ...Limp-" she snarled..

"OHHHHHHH GET OUTTTTTT! JUST GET OUUUUUUTTTTTT!" said Johnny Porter, almost in tears......"GET THE HELLLLL OUTTTTTTTTTTT!" he screamed..Tears streaming down his face, his whole body shaking..

The bad news of the morning raids paled in comparison to this...knowing she was sleeping with Stinger..

"Look at you....Crying like a little bitch!  " snarled Krystal as she walked out...

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHH GO AWAYYYYYYYYYY!" he cried out.

While at our headquarters... We were watching ,listening and laughing...

"Wowwwwwwwww I didn't think Stinger had it in him....To sleep with the bosses girl." I laughed.

''Sounds like he was very hurt by that." said Bonnie.

"I always thought Johnny was a little light in the loafers. Did you see his reaction?....OHHHH GO AWAYYYYYY......She was right....He was crying like a little bitch."laughed Kool Kat...

TWO HOURS LATER AT THE WISSAHICKEN CREEK!

The body of a Black male, about my age was pulled from the creek...a trout was stuffed in his mouth.

"Wow....this was a message...six of his fingers were broken and he was shot twice in the back of the head...and then they stuffed a trout in his mouth.." said one of the Crime Scene Investigators...

"They didn't get that trout out of this river." said another Crime Scene Investigator...to which they all burst into raucous laughter...

"This guy was tortured before he was murdered...six fingers , three on both hands broken...a trout stuffed in his mouth and then shot twice in the back of the head...wow!" said Dr. Marcy Martin.

"That's an old gangland thing..a Message about betrayal." said Dr. Hazel Baylor..

"Or theft or both...It's definitely old school.." I said.

"He hasn't been in the water long....a few hours...."said Dr. Hazel Baylor..

"That's Dennis Watson , known in the underworld as "Stinger" , Johnny Porter's number two.."said Bonnie.

"He was his number two...He's nobody now.. Payback for sleeping with the bosses lady." said Kool Kat..

 "Looks like Johnny boy has had a baddd day.."laughed Sissy...

"His Buyer arrested, 49 of his top associates arrested and jailed..His warehouses and Pawn shops raided and closed...He's taken a financial and romantic hit."said Carlotta.

"Discovering that his most trusted lieutenant was sleeping with his lady wounded him the most...Look at this, the old trout in the mouth ..."said Tyriq.

"Yeah that's old school for betrayal ...She fared better than him...As far as we know, she's still alive.."said Jimmy...

"We heard from Interpol...We fast tracked that DNA information..We got a match and they got a match!!

Arkady is our man! He killed these girls." said Sirena.

"We are going to pick him up tonight." said Hop.

"Good and Maybe we pick up Johnny Boy for murder also.."said Duke.

"As well as other things."said Angie.

"I always figured Johnny Boy would wind up like this...In the river with a slug in his head.....Not Stinger." I said.

"WOWWWWW!" said Bonnie, shaking her head.

"This aint over yet."said Kool Kat 

as we watched the body of the man known on the street as "Stinger"  being transferred to an ambulance..

"The ironic thing....Neither Dennis "Stinger" Watson nor Krystal Carter were named in any of my indictments. They were both free and clear.. Their voices weren't even on any of the wiretaps."said ADA Keith Walace.

IV-

PENNS LANDING!

 

Newly freed Vladmir Arkady stood at the Marina....He smiled when he saw Johnny Porter heading toward him with the portrait he had paid so much money for......

"Mister Porter I presume...I expected your representative." he said.

"She is no longer in my employ....Here is the portrait....I expect you to be on a plane in a few hours from now..."said Johnny Porter.

"Hi Johnny." said Sissy, who placed handcuffs on him....and reached in his pocket and took out a one way ticket to London..

"Ouuuuuuuu planning a trip eh?  I don't think so." said Sissy...

''She is very attractive...is she with you?"  asked Vladmar Arkady....

"No he's with me!...Sirena, Hop...read him his rights...We got him on several counts of Extortion, Wire Fraud, Mail Fraud, Conspiracy, Drug and Weapons Trafficking and one count of Murder one." said Sissy.

"With Pleasure. John D. Porter...You are under arrest, you have the right to remain silent...Anything you say can and will be held against you in a court of law...You have a right to an attorney..If you can't afford one, which is highly doubtful...one will be provided for you...Do you Understand these rights as I am reading them to you?"said Sirena..

"I understand!" he growled... Furious at his predicament...

"49 of your associates got arrested earlier today., several of them are cutting deals...You found out your girl and your most trusted lieutenant were sleeping together...and now this...you're caught red handed with a stolen portrait worth millions."said Hop..

"Not your day today huh Johnny Boy?" I said.

He looked at me with ice cold hatred.. "THIS WAS YOU....YOU!!!! OUUUUUUUUUUU!" he snarled angrilly, stomping his foot....

Vladmir Arkady smiled slightly.....

Bonnie snatched the portrait from him...

"I'll take that."

''Vladmar Arkady, you are under the arrest for the murders of Jane Holliman and Madeline Clark." said Carlotta handcuffing the surprised man..

"You have the right to remain silent...anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law...You have a right to an attorney...If you can not afford one...One will be provided for you....Do you understand these rights as I am r eading them to you?" asked Tyriq.. 

Arkady said nothing.

''Surely you are joking." he said.

"I'm afraid not!!!.Let's go buddy" said Jimmy as they took him and Johnny Porter away...

"We got the portrait back!" said an exuberant Bonnie..

"And we took Johnny Porter and his whole organization down..."I said.

"And took a serial killer off the street...Win Win!" said a very happy Bonnie.

EPILOUGE-

Vladmir Arkady was convicted of both murders and sentenced to die by lethal injection... His other murders in three other countries was looked at and two books and a television documentary was done on him...

Johnny Porter and all 49 of his co-conspirators were convicted of Money Laundering, Wire Fraud, Mail Fraud, Extortion and drug and weapons trafficking...and given long sentences in Federal Prison..He is serving his term in a Federal Prison out near San Diego. Johnny Porter was convicted of the murder of Dennis "Stinger" Watson and given a life sentence in State Prison here in Pennsylvania, Once he's served his Federal Sentence. He is in effect buried.

Krystal Carter bought and now manages and runs his restaurant...She runs it honestly...and makes a very nice profit...

Johnny writes her from Federal Prison in California ,begging her forgiveness....She never returns an answer...She tosses his letters in the trash.

"You Look tired" said My wife Sepia as I arrived at home..

I was tired..We had returned the portrait worth millions to the Calloways.. who were overjoyed to have it back..

They served Champaigne to Bonnie and Me..

I was tired...Exhausted

"I am tired bae...Long Day. Tough case.."I said..

We walked up to the bedroom....I crashed across Sepia's legs on the bed...She ran her fingers through my head....She was wearing one of my white shirts..

"I know what will make you feel better...Take your clothes off first.." she said..

I smiled..

"Now that's what I'm talking about.."I said with a smile..

"You are so nasty...We can get to that eventually...We...You and I are going to take a shower together...." she suggested....

"Doesn't sound bad.." I said.

 "It'll relax you..I figured you'd like it!"said Sepia...

We kissed passionately for a few minutes. I slipped her panties down and off...

We entered our shower......

Sepia and I took a nice hot shower, kissing each other long and softly......letting the hot soapy water just run from us.....

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!"she cooed.

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM" I moaned.

I lifted her petite body while in the shower and entered her slowly and gently...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!! YOU COULDN'T WAIT!" she exclaimed..

"NO...I COULDN'T!" I said.

"OHHHHHHHHHHH MY GODDDDDDD YOU'RE SO BIG, SO HARRRRRRD!"she cooed...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU GIRRRRRRRL!" I moaned.

After the shower, I placed Sepia on the sink and spread her legs and plowed into her...

UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!" I moaned.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU" she cooed...

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I moaned louder..

"UMMMMMMMMMMM TAKE ME...TAKE ME...OUUUUUUUU!"Sepia cried out...

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM GIRRRRRRRRRL!" I moaned.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU WOUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she squealed.

After the shower we both wound up on top of our bed...making sweet love....

Kissing, moving in and out....practically slobbering over each other..

She was baby soft, smelled so good, especially after the shower, when she had lotioned down..and was moist and warm inside....I was losing my mind..

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm hussssssssssband..."she moaned..

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh girrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrl.." was all I could manage to say....

I humped her across the bed...She wrapped her legs around me and kissed me passionately as I entered her warm and very wet center....

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU HUSBAND!!!! YOU'RE A DAMN BEAST!! OH MY GODDDDDDDD, WOUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she cooed as he plowed into her...

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!" I moaned....

I was like a man possessed, I couldn't stop...

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH,,,,,OUUUUUUUU YOU NASTY DOG! OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!"she screamed to the top of  her lungs ,having another orgasm!

Our bed was squeaking and moving from side to side...I had moved the bed so that the headboard would not smack against the wall...It was rattling though...

EIGHT TO NINE HOURS of this was just what the doctor ordered....

Sepia rolled over on top of me and eased herself down on my still rock hard and engorged penis...

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm,ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu babyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.." she cooed..

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh girrrrrrrrrrrrrll.."I moaned as she moved up and down slowly,softly...

TWO TO THREE more hours followed..

It was damn near daybreak....

I couldn't believe how intensely we'd been making love.....Sepia's body began to shake...Tears flowed freely down her face and she held on to me for dear life...

I began to cum like a river....Shaking also.....

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm.."I moaned..

Sepia lie there on top of  me, Both of us were exhausted but completely satisfied...Sepia knew just what to do to make me feel better after a week like I'd had.
