Wrongful Kiss

It was a pretty Friday morning already, the end of the week, time for everyone to get ready to have a great weekend.

The sun was shinning, and the weather was nice. Not too hot, but not yet cold. The weekend was promising to be beautiful, but not for everyone; not for Dan.

Dan and his two side kicks had gone to the office of Captain Turner James the day before. At the time Dan was still mad at the girl, Kelly, and the way she had cussed him and hung up on him. No one hung up on Dan Johnson. Not unless they wanted to sleep over night in the cross bar motel.

Dan stopped being mad at the girl, Kelly when he found his self being set straight about the facts of life.

First off Captain Turner James had a talk with his daughter; a father daughter talk, and when that talk was over, Sarah James was setting on the office sofa in the corner and was very quite. Before the hour was over Sarah James was going to find out more about her father than she had in all of her life. And before the hour was over Sarah James life was going to change forever. She was praying it was going to be for the best.

Next, the chief of detectives had a heart to heart talk with Mark Punch. By the end of the talk Mark was in charge of the Task Force to catch this Serial Killer. He knew that this promotion was to determine his future as a cop. His future was in his hands. And he knew that what ever direction his future went, he was making it unfold now with every action he undertook.

The chief of detectives told him to find this killer and to be quick about it. He was also told that he was to forget any angles that might relate to the so called Family group that he and Dan Johnson had worked out.

In the future any contact with this Kelly girl or the Family was to be handled through his office and that no one out side that office except him was to have any contact with the girl or any member of the family.

Mark was told that if he had any desire to keep contact with his so called creeper friends then he had better make sure he understood who he worked for. He worked for Captain Turner James.

Mark was then sent home with the last words Turner James said to him. “You chose where you want to be in one year. Here on the police force, or in jail with some of your creeper friends.”

 

After Sarah and Mark had been given their future guidelines, it became Dan’s turn. Sarah was still setting on the sofa when Turner James turned to her and said if you and this man want to keep your jobs, and have a future together, then you had better make sure he understands what I am about to say to him.

The chief of detectives then started to tell Dan and Sarah a story. It was not a full story but instead had many gaps. But the story was told with enough information that Dan knew he had to make a choice.

Captain Turner was born into a poor family. But he had been child hood friends with Andy and Dan Harper who were not only rich but come from a very well known and respected family; a good family; a family that took care of its own.

Many nights when he was growing up, he and Dan Harper had set and talked over what Turner James future was going to be. And for the most part that future had come true.

Now Turner James was the chief of detectives in one of the fastest growing cities in the United States. And there was no roof as to how far Turner James could go. Not unless someone screwed it up for him. Someone that had no clue what they were doing.

Dan could now also reach higher than he ever thought possible. He was being offered a chance to grow in the department. He was being offered a chance to become part of the family.

It was become part of the family or end up maybe face down somewhere in the mud. The offer was made. And the outcome was in his hand.

 

Dan and Sarah set in the office of Captain Turner James for the next several hours. They had ordered food and had mapped out Dan’s future.

In the not to distance future Dan would have Turner James job. Turner his self would be chief of the entire police department.

There was changes coming in the family and this meant some new faces.

Right now Turner James needed Dan Johnson and Sarah to do something for him. The girl Kelly Addison was important to Turner James and the family. Dan was not told why. He was told he had better get over his hate for Thomas Saratoga. And he had better make sure that Kelly Addison was safe and that no harm came to her.

Turner James told Dan that he knew for a fact that someone had make threats against the life of Kelly Ann Addison and her child Tasha Sara Addison. Turner James did not know who this man was but did have a description of him.

When Dan asked if this could have been the serial killer, Turner did not know. But he said it might be. Carl Price had said the man that killed the young boy had also made threats against Kelly and so unless there were two people wanting to kill her, then they had to be one in the same.

The chief of detectives told Dan it was his and Sarah’s job to make sure nothing happened to Kelly. He also said that there were people watching the girl now but that tomorrow, on Friday they would be pulled away and it would then become Dan’s responsibility to protect the girl.

And that is where Dan found his self at on this beautiful Friday morning. The chief had given him permission to use some cops to aide him in this mission.

Dan was not to tell the cops what was going on. All he could tell them was that they were looking for a dangerous man and that they had permission, off the record, to shot to kill.

 

Dan and Sarah had gone to Dan’s house the night before to get some rest. They had stopped by Sarah’s place to pick up some things for her and then went to his house. After several hours knowing each other, the two had fallen asleep.

By 6:00 in the morning they were parked in a place which gave them a view of the business Kelly Addison was the manager of. There they had been able to pick out the two men that were watching the Kelly girl already.

They were there also when Andy Harper and Greg Ellis showed up. They had been told by the Chief who these two men were and that they were going to be there. And they were told that they would be taking orders from these two men. They were also told to let these two men know they were there and that they were taking over the watch, but to make sure no one else knew they were watching the girl or that they were cops.

 

 

 

 

 

Kelly was setting in the storage office. Tasha was in the back room. Greg was setting with Kelly. And like always, the two were talking.

Andy was outside walking the lot and looking to see if he could find anyone that stood out as watching the place.

Two people walked up.

“Hello Mr. Harper.” The man said. He put his hand out for a shake.

“Hello.” Andy said. He took the hand. But he was careful. He thought the man was twice his age. If this was some kind of trick he thought he could take the man.

“I am Dan Johnson.” The man said. “This is my partner Sarah James.”

Andy knew about Turner James. He had heard his father speak about him before.

“Any kin to Turner James?” Andy asked?

“He is my father.” Sarah said. “He sent us.”

“I see.” Andy said. “Let’s go inside.”

“Okay” Dan said. “But we are supposed to be under cover. We have order to report to you but not let anyone know who we are.”

“Great.” Andy said. “But you will have to introduce your self to Kelly.”

“That might be a problem.” Dan said. “We already know each other and I can tell you now that she does not like me.” Dan was smiling.

Andy thought about this. Then remembered the phone call Kelly had made the day before.

“Oh yes. I remember now. You were the one she was talking to yesterday.”

Dan did not say anything. He was surprised to know that the man knew he had talked to Kelly the day before.

“You still have to talk to her. You have to let her know that you are going to be watching her and protecting her.” Andy paused. “You are going to protect her right?”

“That’s why we are here. We were told that no harm had better come to her or the child.” Sarah said. Dan just looked away.

 

The three of them were now inside the office. At first Kelly had been mad when she seen Dan Johnson in front of her. Then she settled down after she found out that he was here to protect her. He told her he already had four plain clothes cops out side watching her. And that he was now in charge of protecting her.

This did not set well with Kelly.

“Well I feel real safe now knowing that you are going to protect me.” She said to him.

At first he thought she meant it then when he looked her in the face he could tell she was being sarcastic.

“Ms. Addison I know you don’t like me and that is fine. But you should also know I have always done what I thought was right. If I was wrong, it was not because I wanted to hurt anyone.”

“Right” Kelly said.

Dan started to say something else but Sarah stopped him.

“From what I understand you are some what kind of special to the family?” Sarah said. This was more a statement than a question.

Both Andy and Greg looked at each other.

“My father is the Chief of Detectives.” Sarah went on. “And from what I know, he is some what special also in the family. Yesterday he made Dan and I understand that no harm had better come to you.” Sarah stopped to let these words sink in. “You can bet that there is no way the two of us will let anything happen to you or your boyfriend Thomas.”

Sarah should not have said anything about Thomas. She was winning Kelly over till she said his name.

“If the two of you harm Thomas in any way I will kill you both myself.” Kelly said.

Dan did not like this. No one talked to him this way.

“Don’t worry Kelly,” Andy said. “No one will hurt Thomas. Not while I am around.” He looked toward Greg.

“That goes double for me Kelly.” Greg said.

Kelly did not say anything. She just looked at the three men and one woman there in her office. She did not know if she trusted any one of them. But she did know that Thomas was coming back to her. He would be here in a few days. She just needed a few days and then he would know what to do. He had saved her once and he would do it again.

Hell, Thomas had tried to kill a man once because of her. She already knew that nothing would stop him from hurting anyone that tried to hurt her. And she felt that Thomas would do the same for her daughter.

“Thomas will be here in a few days.” Kelly was looking at Dan when she said this. “If you try to stop him from coming, or do anything to hurt him I will….” She did not finish. She did not need to.

 

Dan and Sarah were out side on the lot. Andy was showing them a storage room. They were playing this game out to it fullest and were trying to make it look like Dan and Sarah were just customers. If anyone was watching that was what they were supposed to think.

“We will be leaving soon.” Andy said. “But while we are gone, her life is in your hands. My father told me that Turner James was a very good friend of his and that I could trust him. Father said that if Turner James sent you then I should trust you.” Andy stopped and looked at the two cops.

“I just want you to know how important this is to me.” He said.

“We understand.” Said Sarah.

“Very well. I will leave you two in charge. If anyone other than me or Greg or my father, Dan Harper, comes and tells you to do anything that would put Kelly or her child in danger then you are to ignore them and call me as soon as possible.” Andy made sure to let them know his father was Dan Harper.

“I understand.” Dan said.

 

Dan and Sarah rented the storage room. They would set up a small base here. This would give them a reason to be on site for the next few days. They had already agreed that they would move Sarah out of her apartment and into the storage room. After this was all over they would then move Sarah into Dan’s house.

Dan and Sarah had gone to rent a truck and start moving Sarah’s things. They were even going to hire some men to do the moving. It was going to be a long night.

 

Greg had a long talk with Kelly while Andy was out side with her.

“Kelly, Andy and I have to leave for a few days.” He said.

Kelly’s eyes opened wide. Fear ran through her again for about the thousands time in the last few days.

“Don’t worry. We want be for away. At lease, I want be for away. Andy has to meet with Uncle Andy tomorrow. I am not sure what’s going to happen there. But no matter, Thomas will be here tomorrow or the next day.” Greg stopped talking.

“Is he on his way?” Kelly asked.

“The last report I had said they were packing to leave. They have not left yet but they are leaving tonight. He should be here tomorrow.”

Kelly’s face was shinning. This was the best news she had heard in over a week. She still had no ideal what she was going to do; no ideal what she would say to Thomas. She did not know how he felt about her now. Or for that matter how she felt about him.

Kelly knew that Thomas was older now. He would be almost fifty years old she thought. No wait, he was fifty three now. He had been twenty years older than her.

Kelly thought about the times he had made love to her. He had been so gently. He had given her so much respect. He had showed her so much love every time he had made love to her. And now she wondered if the two of them had been wrong. Everything they had done had been so wrong. Or at lease that is what she had come to think it had been.

Kelly knew she would have killed anyone that tried to have that kind of relationship with Tasha. There was no way anyone could justify doing that with her baby. So how could she justify doing it her self.

Times were different then. Right. It had only been, what twenty years ago? No, time was not a reason for justification. It had been wrong. But she did not care. She love Thomas and he loved her. That was all the justifying she needed.

But could they love each other again. She did not know. But she did know he would protect her. No matter what, he would protect her and Tasha.

For the first time in a week, Kelly thought she had a reason to feel safe. Kelly knew that Thomas would kill anyone that tried to hurt her. If for no other reason, he would protect her for her daddy.

Thomas and her daddy were the best of friends. And Thomas had once told him he would never let anything happen to her. And Thomas was, if nothing else, a man of his word. He gave his word to James Addison to always protect Kelly. And no matter how he now felt about her, he would not break his word.

“Can you not wait just until Thomas gets here?” Kelly asked.

“We have to go. We were ordered to leave yesterday but we stayed until Uncle Dan could get his cop friends here. But we have to go tonight. Uncle Jason will be here tomorrow. He will be able to get us if needed.”

Kelly was thinking. There was nothing to say. She would not beg. She never had begged anyone for anything. She was not going to do so now.

“I want to give you something.” Greg said. He handed her a small gun.

“Kind of small isn’t it.” Kelly said.

Greg was surprised to hear her say that. He had no ideal that Thomas had trained Kelly on how to use a gun many years before.

“It is a derringer. Double barrow 38 caliber. And it has wad cutters. It should stop any one that you shot with it.” Greg smiled.

Kelly opened the chamber and looked into the gun. She took the bullets out and looked at them.

“This will do nicely.” She said reloading the gun.

“If you shoot someone and the cops get the gun, it is okay. It is not hot. But if you can ditch the gun that’s better. It cannot be traced back to you.”

Kelly put the gun into her pocket.

“The two guys that have been watching you all week are still on the job. Only now you will not be able to see them. They will not be close to you, but will be close enough to reach you within a few minutes.” Andy handed Kelly a piece of paper with a number on it. “Put this number into your phone so that you can call it if needed. It is Bob’s number. Just say help and he will come running.”

“Bob?” Kelly said.

“Passenger. The one Tasha kicked.” Greg laughed “Don’t worry. He is not mad about that. In fact he kind of likes Tasha. She made an impression on him. He thinks she had spunk.” Greg was laughing harder.

“She has that effect on people. They either like her or hate her.” Kelly said. She had started laughing.

Andy Harper walked in. He see’s the two people setting there laughing.

“Did I miss something?” He asked.

Kelly did not say anything. Greg said,

“We were laughing about Tasha kicking Bob.”

Andy started laughing also.

 

An hour later Kelly was locking the store. Then she and Tasha were saying goodbye to Andy and Greg. Tasha gave Andy a hug, and Kelly gave Greg a hug. Kelly did not offer a hug to Andy and none was asked for. Tasha had a tear in her eye.

“Don’t cry little darling, spy’s don’t cry. And I will see you again. I am just going to take care of some business then I will return.

After saying goodbye to Andy and Greg, Kelly and Tasha got into the car and drove away.

Andy and Greg did the same but went in the other direction.

 

 

 

 

 

David had been watching Kelly all week long. He had heard from Omar that the men protecting Kelly would be gone by the end of the day. David did not know how Omar could have known this. But as he watched he saw the two men drive away in a different direction.

The other two men that had been watching the girl had not showed up today. So maybe Omar was right. But David would not take a chance. No he would wait. He would watch and if he was sure there was no one watching them then he would make his move tomorrow. He would take the girls Saturday evening at closing time.

Tonight he wanted to have a little fun. After all it was going to be his last day in town. Tomorrow he would take the two girls and he would catch a plane out of the country. David had already talked to Omar who said he would have the plane ready tomorrow night.

And then the real fun would start. He just hoped Omar would let him watch and maybe even join him in training the little girl. But no matter, he would enjoy training Kelly Addison. That was for sure.

 

David set alone in the motel room, in darkness. No wait, he wasn’t alone. There was a girl in the bed. Yes she was a whore, but even they count sometimes don’t they?

She was alive. She could move, but she did not try to move. She was scared to death. Her hands were tied, but not that hard. She could have escaped if she wanted to. But she did not want to. She was making a lot of money for this. She had performed this gig before. And she was safe. She thought she was safe. After all, Mark had told her just a few days before on the phone not to date anyone she did not know. And she knew this man. She had tricked with him a few times already.

So what if he was weird he always paid her good.  

David set there, in the dark room, just barely able to see her nude body on the bed. She was wet with oil he had rubbed all over her. The small amount of light coming in past the closed curtains gave just enough light to let him see her nude body lay there. He could hear her breathing. It was relaxed.

As he watched the out line of her body, she let her hands fall free from the ropes holding her, and moved them toward her female self. She started to make her self feel good and she moved the rest of her body to the motions of her hand.

David followed the motion of the girl with his own movement. For David this was sex. The only kind that worked for him; the only kind that is, except for the other kind. The kind the other girl had given him. But that kind was against the law. That kind cost someone their life. That was the kind David thought of now as he watched this girl.

The dance had lasted for over an hour. Not like the girl he had been with the other day. That had lasted for days. When he had finished with her she had died. This one would live. She would never know how lucky she was.

The girl knew not to stop what she was doing once she started. She had did that once and David had beaten the crap out of her. Now she was just laying there wondering how she ever got mixed up with a character like David.

He had been a regular for her for almost three years now. And in those three years he had visited her about once ever four months and never once did he do anything to her except rub her all over with oil, and watch her play with her self.

She knew he was still in his dream world right now. He was still living out her movements in his head. And she knew to lay still and not interrupt him. If she did she would get beat, and not paid.

The first time she did this David slapped her and took her to her pimp. He then paid the pimp with two new one hundred dollar bills, and told him what he would do the next time she screwed up.

The second time she screwed up David beat the shit out of her and then took her to her pimp and would not pay. The pimp then beat the shit out of her also. He had not even thought to hit David. David had scared him also. And not much scared RAF. The RAF stood for Real Ass Fucker. And he had that name because he was bad. But not as bad as David.

The girl had learned after that second time. And now she was the only girl David called on when he was in town.

When David was finished he would get up and go into the bathroom and then when he came out, she would be allowed to clean up and get dressed.

He would then be the most caring man she had ever known. He always had a nice gift for her. A ring or something she could sell for a dime rock. And he always had two new one hundred dollar bills for the pimp. The pimp would also be nice to her tonight she thought.

David set in the chair now and looked at the girl on the bed. He could picture the evil tramp as dead. And he could see his self there over her cutting her. Taking her heart out. He wanted to eat her heart. He had a knife in his hands. The blade was six inches long. And sharp like a razor.

But of course it was sharp as a razor, it was a razor.

He thought back to that night in the bar, that girl with Kelly.

She had been hot. She had been just what the doctor ordered. If not for that damn bitch, the big one, what was her name? Never mind, it didn’t matter, but if not for her David would have already tasted Kelly. But that was okay. He would have her tomorrow.

It had not even been a week sense he had gone all the way with the last girl. And already he had to have another one. That was Kelly’s fault. He could not get over her. No one had made him feel like this sense Julie.

She just would not leave his thoughts. He could not get her out of his mind. He wanted Kelly so bad. And he was going to get her.

Oh yes he was going to get her. And she would pay for being such an ass with him. And he would make her little girl pay. That little bitch was going to pay also. Omar would love her real good. Omar like fresh little toys like her.

And David was going to get a lot of money for her.

David opened his eyes. He saw the whore there on the bed. She was watching him as he held his privates in one hand, and the knife in the other. David had never had a knife before during their love making.

He could see the fear in her eyes. She just didn’t know how lucky she was.

David got up and went into the bathroom. When he came out the girl had gone. She had not even waited long enough to get paid this time. David laughed.

 

 

 

 

 

“I am telling you I didn’t get paid.” The girl said.

“Why the hell didn’t you get paid?” screamed the pimp. He slapped her again.

“I left before he came out of the bathroom. I was scared.” The girl cried. She was covering her face with her arms as best she could. Her face was already sporting a black eye.

There were two other girls in the room also. One was naked on the second bed. Her hands were tied. She looked young. The pimp had found her about a week before and had brought her here to train. The training was going well. The pimp looked at her.

“Looks like I am going to have to make you wait before we continue your training. I am going to have to retrain this bitch first.”

The girl tried to smile but could not. Her face was cover with burses worse than Shella’s, but before the night was over her face would look normal compared to Shella.

“Please RAF Please don’t hurt me. I will go back and get the money. I am sorry.” Shella cried and begged. But it did no good. David had dropped by and paid RAF before Shella had showed up. RAF had known this bitch had left with out getting his money for him.

But David had done something else. He told the pimp he had been paying the girl three hundred dollars each time. This was a lie. But the pimp did not know this. And the pimp was going to make this bitch pay for every dime she had stolen.

David had watched RAF having sex with the new girl. He had wanted to see her trained. And David had told the pimp that when he came back into town he would like to try her out. He was tired of the other girl.

Hour’s later setting in front of Kelly’s house David was still enjoying the thought of Shella being retrained.
