A Full Court Press

 

 A small crowd gathered on the street....

a man ,identified as 57 year old Homer Krinsky sat in the drivers seat.... with a teddy bear in his arm..

Homer had two previous convictions for being a sex offender and had just been released after serving 5 years in State Prison.  Being and Uber Driver was the only employment he could get..

Now he was dead!

His lifeless eyes wide open staring at nothing now....

"Somebody did a job on this guy's neck....He was definitely strangled..."said one CSI guy as another snapped photos..

"He's very warm....this just happened...He died within the last 15 to 20 minutes." said Hazel....

"This girl I stopped said she heard a woman scream...She was high tailing it out of here at the time I arrived...She had on a maroon top...She's right across the street there." said Lt. Tragg.

"What Girl? Where?" said Sissy.

There was no one on the corner...

''AYE MIOS DIOS!!  YOU PROBABLY WERE TALKING TO OUR KILLER...We are looking for a young girl, someone in her late teens or early twenties...She fits a pattern." said Carlotta.

'We've told none of this to the press....We have a composite sketch of her at one of our crime scenes.and we've got prints and DNA from another scene , but no name to go with that face." said Angie.

"Meaning She's not in the system at all..."said Duke.

''SO DON'T CALL A PRESS CONFERENCE AND BLAB ALL OF THIS OUT!!!" said Jimmy.

"YOU LITTLE PIECE OF SHIT!!! I WAS A DETECTIVE, MAKING CASES WHEN YOU WERE IN HIGH SCHOOL SITTIN IN THE BACK OF A CAR ALL SWEATY , TRYIN TO MAKE FIRST BASE WITH A PIMPLY FACED CHICK!!" screamed an angry Lt. Tragg.

"YEAH? AT LEAST I WAS GETTIN SOME....YOU WEREN'T EVEN IN THE BALLPARK!!" shouted Jimmy.

"Jimmy!!! Lt. Tragg!! Both of you ,cool it!" said Jimmy's wife, Angie...getting in between both men.

"Guys...GUYS!!! Let's keep a cool head here...We are all on the same team...Same Team...We are trying to catch a serial killer." said Sirena..

Tyriq smiled..

"Gotta hand it to Junior...The Boy's got guts." he said.,

"Don't he now?" said Duke.

Carlotta pulled her partner away...

"Come on Jimmy, come with me." she said, pulling him away from the conflict..

"Thanks Partner." he said softly...

"Lt. Tragg, you're going to come with us....We have a composite sketch of this young lady...We want you to take a look at it and tell me if this is the girl you were talking to...

The other young lady is coming with us too. Our killer made a big mistake this time."said Sissy..

Sissy pointed to the street cameras...

''She got caught on camera...And this time...we'll have a for real look at her face." she said.

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" I said.

Tyriq, Duke, Hop and Angie All smiled..

"Can we remove the body Sis?" asked Hazel.

"Yeah Hazel...wrap him up and email me the Autopsy report as soon as it's finished." said Sissy.

And so our 8th victim was put in a body bag, strapped to a gurney and carted off to the Medical Examiner's Office.

A Saturday Night in Philly! Another Murder in the Big City....

II-

At our headquarters  

We went into our media room and pulled up the video from the street camera in the area of the murder..

The young lady in the maroon top was seen clearly getting out of the UBER....

"That's her.!!..That's the girl I saw getting out of the UBER.....just before I got to it." said the young lady...

"That's the same girl I saw high tailing it down the side street that I stopped... I offered to drive her home. She looked about 17 or 18....too young to be on the streets at this time of night..."said Lt. Tragg..

 ''And now we have our first real look at our suspect...If only we knew her name." said Sissy.

''We have her prints,taken from the car of victim number 7 and her DNA....There was DNA on the saliva found on his penis and DNA on the pair of panties found in his mouth...We match them to somebody, presumably her and we have our killer."said Carlotta.

Tyriq passed him a folder..

"Complete Psychological breakdown of our killer." he said.  Tyriq knew he wasn't going to read it so he broke it down for him..."We are looking for a young woman, someone very young who isn't in the system yet...Maybe they've had a suspended sentence or two, but no prints on record, no sheet...They haven't been locked up, but come close... This is a young lady who is very bright, IQ is off the charts...She knew the type of muscle relaxers to use and the exact dosage..So look for someone who worked at or is presently working at a Pharmeceutical company. She is full of resentment and rage..She paralyzes her victims...then she strangles them...She has to be there to see the actual moment of death...

The Teddy Bear and or the Barbie Doll is a message, a way of  telling the public just who these guys are or were...With the exception of the last victim..all of them were either accused or convicted sex offenders, who specialized in young girls..." he said.

Jimmy said nothing, he was still angry from their earlier confrontation.

Sirena brought coffee out for both Jimmy and her partner, Hop.

"Thanks Partner." he said.

"Thanks Sirena." said Jimmy.

''So Like I said.. All we need is a name to go with that face and we think we have our killer."said Duke.

''A man who works at a beer distributing place in Kensington, gave our sketch artist this composite drawing...You see the resemblance?  She was with victim number six right before he got it.We think we are looking for the same girl."said Angie.

Detective Barbara Hutton walked in just then.

"Hey Sis...I got your text...." she said.

"You're that Detective from Bayside...What are you doing here?" asked Lt. Tragg..

"I could ask you the same thing..."said Babs....

"She's helping us with the investigation Lieutenant...Victim number one was in Bayside....a few months ago...It was a cold case until bodies started dropping in Philly with the same M.O."I explained.

''So because she blew her investigation...Now this sicko killer is in Philadelphia and she's horning in on our case." said Lt. Tragg.

"Our Case? You mean Sissy's case...You have nothing to do with it.. I'm trying to get a killer off the streets...I don't care who gets the credit." said Detective Barbara Hutton.

"You know...that girl looks familliar to me..I've seen her before." said Hop.

''Yeah me too!" said Sirena.

"The girl at the Skating Rink....The one we didn't interview...The one who quit the day after the sixth murder....or was it the seventh?? The guy with the panties in his mouth."said Babs, snickering a little.

"YOU THINK THIS IS FUNNY? YOU THINK THIS IS A JOKE??" snarled Lt. Tragg. "EIGHT MEN ARE DEAD!!" he said.

"GET HIM OUT OF MY FACE!" said Babs angrilly...He was Lieutenant, but he wasn't hers....She didn't have to respect him at all.

"Come on Babs...Let me grab you some coffee...We just made it."said Carlotta.

"I've got an idea...We are going to put this girls picture...The one drawn by our sketch artist on the news...Lt. Tragg, tell the press that you and I are co-ordinating the investigation and that this is a composite drawn by our sketch artist on the word of two witnesses of a young lady seen at two of  the murder scenes..Ask for this girl to either turn herself in or if anyone knows her to contact us at this number...I want a full court press....I want it on Television, Radio, Social Media...everywhere...and I want all cops, rollers, plain clothes whatever to have this picture and the actual photo of this girl, which we won't put on television in their possession..I want em at the Bus Station, At the Train Station, at the Airports....even at the Post Office... I suspect our girl is going to try and leave town....With this much out..Things are going to get hot.....Plus she doesn't know we have prints and DNA..."said Sissy.

"Now you're talking...Now you're getting somewhere Sissy. I'll get right on this." said a happy Lt. Tragg.

"You trust him to do that?" I asked.

 "Sure Do....If he feels as though he's involved...He won't get in our way....Plus that's what he's good at, Getting in front of the press and pontificating.." said Sissy...

"You sure know how to play someone into a corner Sis." said Carlotta.

"That's why she's the Boss Lady." said Tyriq.

''Amen." said Jimmy.

"Now what about that girl?" asked Sirena.

"Her name was Carmelita Sanchez...."I've got like three addresses for her...She moves around a lot."said Hop.

"Angie and I will check out the addresses...While you guys go to Bayside." said Duke..

"Full Court Press." said Angie.

"Hey I like the sound of that."said Sharon, who was just coming into the Day Room..."You guys had an interesting night huh? Hi Babs." she said.

"Hey Lady...Yeah We did." said Babs.

III-

Lt. Tragg was overjoyed... He had a press conference with both Sissy and I in which he said he and Sissy were "Co-ordinating the investigation."

We showed the portrait of our mysterious young lady and asked that she turn herself in or if anyone knew her or her whereabouts to please call the hotline number...We offered a $10,000.00 dollar reward..

We were on The Television, The Radio and Social Media.

The three of us even appeared on HARD BOTTOM with B.L. Benz...discussing the "Teddy Bear and Barbie Doll Murders..."  

Everybody in the city was now talking about it and  looking for the mysterious young lady.

We had Plain Clothes and Uniformed policemen carrying her picture and actual photo around...and stationed in The Airports, The Train station and the bus station around Philadelphia.

We had suddenly made things very hot for our serial killer.

Eight Murders will do that....And for a whole week..Things were quiet...There wasn't one murder attributed to our serial killer in the city.

ROLLER SKATING RINK-BAYSIDE

"Yeah that looks like Carmelita......You know she quit the day after that last guy, Arthur Jaekel was found in the lovers lane with a pair of panties in his mouth and a Barbie doll in his hands....That's just sick...Sick...I mean...that guy was a perv....But he was harmless...He didn't hurt anybody....He just flirted...talked dirty...He did get a little handsy sometimes...Nobody took him serious....He didn't deserve to be murdered you know?"  said.the Assistant Manager.

"You said he asked you if he could buy a pair of panties for you.....You think he talked like that to Carmelita?" asked Babs....

"Oh I KNOW HE DID!!!  I heard him asking her all the time, when she wore a skirt if he could just have a peek at her panties...  While the rest of the girls laughed and told him to get lost, Carmelita took it personally...She got angry....and I guess it was because of her past.." said the Assistant Manager.

''What about her past?" asked Sirena.

"From the time she was 14...and started developing.....Her mother's boyfriend would come into her room late at night and get in the bed with her....and essentially rape her....over and over again..

She told her mother, but she said she didn't believe her, that she was probably tempting him.....She went through some stuff, getting kicked out of school...using drugs...drifting from job to job..She has had two drug arrests that I know of, but the charges were dropped and she's in drug therapy in Philly and a program for people who are victims of sexual abuse...After he got murdered, she just quit...I don't know where she is now." said the Assistant Manager.

"I checked her Bayside Address..She's been long gone from this address." said Hop. Hop showed her a photo of three of our other victims...All who were known to hang out in the skating rink...

"Yeah all of em used to come in here...Trolling for young girls.....They were worse than the lawyer...He only talked dirty, he didn't actually do anything... These three were very handsy....Always touching, always trying to pull someone's dress up...I threatened to call the cops on all three of them.. Wow! they're all dead too huh? Wowww!" said the Assistant Manager,

TOY STORE- BAYSIDE

Carlotta, Tyriq and Jimmy went to the Toy Store where Carmelita worked....The same Toy store that got robbed of only Teddy Bears and Barbie Dolls...She worked there a year before and quit two days after the robbery...

The Manager there told them of Carmelita's family life , of her mother's boyfriend repeatedly raping her..and of her being in therapy...

Carmelita's mother had moved back to Puerto Rico. The Boyfriend had walked out on her and hadn't been seen or heard from in four years.

PHARMECEUTICAL COMPANY- BAYSIDE

The trio of Carlotta, Tyriq and Jimmy next went to the Pharmeceutical Company....The same one that was robbed of a large supply of muscle relaxers.

Carmelita had worked there a year before and quit two days after the robbery...

The Manager there told them of Carmelita's family life , of her mother's boyfriend repeatedly raping her..and of her being in therapy...

We now were pretty sure who we were looking for..She fit the profile to a t. 

In Philadelphia, Duke and Angie checked out all three addresses they had for Carmelita...unfortunately, she had already moved on... They talked to her mother by phone from Puerto Rico...She said after Carmelita's accusations, the boyfriend was picked up by Bayside police, but released...He walked out on her after that and she hadn't seen or heard from him in four years.

The Full Court Press was on...They had definitely made it hot for her.....

THE NO ID BAR- PHILADELPHIA PA.

Attorney Nina Rios sat canoodling with a very handsome man in the bar tonight surrounded by friends..

"Thank you Olivia for inviting me and Carlos to your cookout tomorrow and letting us both stay with you guys tonight." said Nina. 

"You're quite welcome....I wish we could have ran into you before we went to Nelson's Beach House last week...We had plenty of room for you two.."said Olivia.

 

"This is going to be a good old fashioned neighborhood cookout."said Donnie Ray...

"Ummmmmmmm her boyfriend is a hunk." said Beverly..

"Isn't he though?" said Kayla..

"He is foiiiiiiine...with a Capital F." said Jazzy...

"I know the bedsprings are gonna be squeaking in Olivia's basement tonight." said Natalie, think about how they were squeaking when she and David stayed there...

"Okayyyyyyyyyyyyyy?" said Renee, remembering how the bedsprings were squeaking when she and Tyrell stayed there..

"That Bed can tell some stories. can't it?" laughed Beverly....

They all laughed and whispered just as they did as young girls out of the earshot of their husbands.

"If the weather is nice tomorrow , we should have a nice cookout."said Nelson..

"Yeah...We wanted to invite our cop friends...but they are working around the clock trying to catch this serial killer.."said Josie.

"Bummer." said her husband, Paris.

''Well at least they are together...They're a tight knit gtoup like us..They don't mind being around each other." said Bresha.

"Even when it's work , it's not...because you somehow manage to have fun." said Tony...

"That's exactly how I feel.." said Alfreda..

"Yeah me too when I'm with you guys.." said Rockland.

Fried Chicken, Shrimp baskets and more drinks arrived at their three long tables.

 

 "So tell us about this mannnnn you got now Nina." said Yvette...

Carlos is an Attorney who previously worked as a Federal Public Defender and is now working in the Womens Law Center.." said Nina, blushing..

"I imagine that's not a bad place to work huh?" laughed Yvette's husband, Gary..

"It is not."laughed Carlos..

Keith Jones snickered...

"He's fineeeee, isn't he girlfriend?" Bee Bee whispered to her life long friend, Sofia..

''Oh Siiii..Aye Mios Dios." laughed Sofia.

Kahlil saw his wife Sofia and Bee Bee laughing that conspiratorial laugh they always laughed,

"So Sissy and the guys have taken up residence in their headquarters...Working around the clock huh?

Is Lt. Tragg really co-ordinating the investigation?" asked Jade..

"That's what they told him...By allowing him to actually go on TV and say what they want him to say...It keeps him out of the way and keeps him happy somewhat." said Danny Ho.

"That's kinda brilliant , shame we can't do the same with him."laughed Virginia.

Her husband, Jetty just laughed...

 

"I hope it's a nice day tomorrow."said Jazzy..
 

''Even if it rains...Olivia and Beverly rented a nice indoor space... We can play cards and games and listen to music inisde and put tents up over the grills.."said her husband, Dabnis.

"I just hope it doesn't rain."said Kayla.

"I checked the weather forecast....There is no rain in the forecast...Not even overcast...We are fine."said her husband, Ray.

"That is good.."said Jessica Sanchez...

"Real Good.," said her husband Chip.

"You're on TV tonight...Think they'll show it in here?" asked Karen Page.

"I hope they don't...I'm tired of talking about the Teddy Bear and Barbie Doll Killer." said B.L.

"Lt. Tragg isn't...That's all he's been talking about for the past week...He's on every station."said Natalie.

"He's even made National News..Fox, MSNBC, CNN...You name it..He's on it.."said her husband, David,.

''He's loving it...Sissy actually allowed him to "Co-ordinate the investigation."laughed Brooke.

"That's just throwing him a bone...He's not doing the legwork...Sissy and her detectives are..She's allowing him to be the face on Television...It keeps him out of the way."laughed...her husband, Sean.

''Sissy's a smart woman."said Zoey.

''She is..."said Lem.

"Look B.L.  You're on Television." said Renee, smiling..

"Yet again,laughed her husband, Tyrell..

"DO YOU KNOW THIS GIRL?   CARMELITA SANCHEZ!!" said B.L.

" SHE'S WANTED FOR QUESTIONING IN EIGHT HOMICIDES ......IF YOU SEE HER OR HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON HER CALL THIS TOLL FREE NUMBER...THERE IS A TEN THOUSAND DOLLAR AWARD IN IT FOR YOU....DO NOT APPROACH HER YOURSELF ,CALL THE PHILADELPHIA POLICE-CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION DIVISION

Lt. Sissy Van Buren 

 OR ME, LT ARTHUR TRAGG, HOMICIDE!!!!"said Lt. Tragg dramatically.

Attorney Carlos Ortiz looked at Nina Rios..

"Isn't that one of your clients?  Your outreach client?" he asked..

Nina sighed......

"Yes...Yes it is..." she said.. She had an overwhelming feeling of dread.

IV-

Everyone packed up and headed home...

And at Olivia and Beverly's Office /Duplex

Nina and Carlos were in the apartment in the sub-basement...Unaware of how safe they were...

Carmelita had been looking for her attorney...She needed money and a way out of town...but Nina wasn't at her condo or her office...She had no idea where Nina was tonight and that was good.

Nina wanted to take her mind off of Carmelita right now...She had this beautiful man with her whom she had been admiring for months...She wanted to experience him...

And he wanted to experience her...

"Ouuuuuuuuuu Nina...Ninnnna....I've wanted you for close to a year now..I can't believe this is finally happening." said Carlos,,,

''OH MY GODDDDDD, you should have said something sooner."said Nina in between kisses..

"I would have, but you were busy...in court and with your women's out reach project." he said.

Nina winced.. He was right...All she ever did was work...She needed to enjoy life... All of her close friends, Olivia, Yvette, Zoey, Karen Page were married and at a point in their careers where they were making good money too..

She was making good money and satisfied with her career..She was practicing the kind of law she wanted..Why couldn't she live it up a little?" she thought as their kissing got hotter, steamier..

Carlos and Nina undressed each other..

He loved the sexy panties she bought for just this occassion..

"AYE YI YIIIIIIIII!" he said.

"You like?" she said.

"YES I DOOOOOOO....OUUUUUUUUUUUU!" he moaned..

He unbuckled her bra.....

He lifted her up and slowly entered her...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU NINA!!!" he cried out..She was so wet....smelled so good ,like a newborn baby and skin just as soft....He was slowly losing his mind...

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH CARLOS...OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she cried out...

They sat on the side of the bed, kissing, while Nina slowly and softly rode him......

She rode him on top of the bed....like a surfer rides the waves......

And he flipped her over and entered her again...

"AYE MIOS DIOS....JUST PUT IT IN...OUUUUUUUU PUT IT ALL IN..OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" she cried out..

Her body trembling something crazy....Tears streaming down the side of her face, her head turning from side to side...

She was having a deep and intense orgasm...

Nina wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist....His body trembled.......

"OUUUUUU NINA, This is every bit as good as I knew it would be..." he cried out...

They made sweet sweet love the next NINE TO TEN HOURS!!  Nina wondered if this man was ever going to cum....He didn't seem to want to get up off of her...She herself had cum at least four times..

Carlos finally came and he felt as if he were going to die...

Sweaty and out of breath, he smiled. Nina smiled...He had totally satisfied her...He was a keeper..

She rested peacefully on top of Carlos...She was good and satisfied. Carlos was dead asleep...It was alright..He had earned it tonight.

She thought of her client, Carmelita Sanchez....Was it true? Was she really a serial killer?? Had she been

talking and advising someone so damaged that they had killed people?"

This was going on Two Weeks that we had all been living at headquarters and working hard on this case..

 Sissy decided to give us all a break.. We set up behind our building for a little cook out for the weekend..

Carlotta And Me,

Tyriq and Sirena

Jimmy and Angie

Hop and Sharon

and Duke and Hazel...

Our little tight knit group.

Sissy's husband prepared the meats and other foods, like pasta, cole slaw and pork and beans..We always loved having him around, even if he wasn't in law enforcement..

We had turned up the heat on our serial killer suspect....There hadn't been another murder in a week and her face was plastered all over the city and the media...

Things were getting very hot for her and soon it was going to come to a head.

(CONCLUSION NEXT)
