Hyper woke up and looked at the clock; it was a little after nine am. She closed her eyes and tried to go back to sleep and then figured out why she had woken so early. A small hand was under her shirt caressing the soft skin beneath her breast and wandering ever closer to brushing against her aching nipple. Sucking in a breath, she stiffened and prayed that Corey would roll over from where she lay across her so she could get up. When the small hand made its way downward, across her stomach to stop a few inches below the waistband of her boxers, she clamped a hand over her mouth to hold back a moan. Closing her eyes tightly, she prayed to every God she had ever heard or read about to help her. Corey's hand moved downward, brushed against her groin and was gone when she rolled over onto her stomach and started snoring. Hyper rolled out of the bed and landed on her hands and knees on the floor. Dropping her head down to rest on the floor, she took a calming breath, got up and went to the bathroom.
"Ice water, I need lots of ice water!" She dropped her clothes on the floor and stepped under the cold water coming from the showerhead.
"Goddamnitsfuckingcold!" She said as her teeth began to chatter and lips turn a light shade of blue.
Corey peeked from one eye towards the bathroom and snickered. "And she scores! One for me, one for the hedgehog. Continuing to laugh softly, she took Hyper's pillow pulled it to her chest and went back to sleep.
@@@@@@@
Hyper was sitting at the kitchen table drinking coffee when Mack walked in and stood there looking at her as if she had a third eye in the center of her forehead. A brow rose over a bloodshot eye and hovered there. "What?"
"Exactly, you're up awful early." She got a cup of coffee and sat down next to her sister.
"Well, you're here awful early. Why?"
"I had to pick up some medical supplies at the warehouse, so I thought I'd come by and see if you guys wanted to go for brunch or something." She looked closely at her sister and whispered. "Oohh you two are fighting."
"What makes you think that?"
"You have that pouty look on your face that's what. What did you do?"
"Why do you think it was me, I could be completely innocent in what ever it is we're fighting about."
"If that was the case, you'd still be sleeping and Corey would be out here probably looking for rat poison." She sipped her coffee and stared at her sister. "Come on Jo what did you do?"
"I teased her last night but not for the reason you think. It was so I could make a deal, the dealer gets jumpy around strangers so I said she was my woman and I played with her thigh." She dropped her forehead on the table and waited for Mack to laugh at her, when she didn't, she looked up at her. "Well, aren't you going to yell or laugh at me?"
"For what? I know how you operate both romantically and on the job. So she's that pissed at you that you look like a hound dog?"
"The thing is I enjoyed what I was doing and I think she did too, until like a few minutes later when she offered me a hand basket to go to Hell in. It gets better though, this morning she was…with my…cold shower for me."
Mack chuckled lightly at her sisters chopped up sentence; Charley was the same way when she was frustrated. One of the reasons she fell in love with the short stocky brunette, she was cuter than Hell when she stuttered and turned a deep red like her sister was now.
"You got teased by someone, unbelievable. So is she one of us or not?" Mack asked while refilling both of their coffee cups.
"Don't know, I thought so last night, and then I was thinking this morning that maybe she's not. And what she was doing to me was a subconscious thing."
"Jo why don't you ask her, the worse thing that could happen is she says no."
"Uhhmm…" She took a quick glance at Mack and went back to studying the swirling of her coffee. "I ah, I ah…uhmmm…nope." She shook her head at Mack. "Can't…no good at those…"
"Hypermnestra Joanna Crichton you are a huge chicken shit coward." Mack got up from the table, went over to the bed and looked down at Corey wrapped around a pillow. Seeing the one on the other side of the bed, she knew whose pillow it was that Corey had in a death grip. Lying down next to the small blonde, propping herself up on an elbow, she rested her head on her hand. A few minutes later an eye opened and rolled to lock with smiling hazel.
"Is this like a family thing with you guys, starring at sleeping people?" Corey croaked out, snuggled her face into Hyper's pillow and inhaled deeply.
"It smells like sandalwood huh?"
"Yeah and hedgehog…damn." She looked up with guilt written all over her face.
"Are you really that mad at her for teasing you?"
"She told you about that, I guess she did since you're asking." She leaned up onto her elbow and looked deeply into hazel eyes. "It's not what she did it's what she said."
"Now I'm confused, I thought it was her playing touchy feely with your thigh and she thinks the same thing."
"No, I have a problem with the use of possessive words or terms. I don't like to be referred to as anyone's 'woman'. It's degrading and disrespectful. I know she didn't mean it that way when she said it but it has always irritated me."
"Ohh you mean like guys do, 'This is my woman' type thing." She gave Corey a bright smile. "I gotcha, one other thing, are you?"
Her brows went into her hairline. "Am I what?"
"You know one of us, attracted to Hyper Jo, wanna beat her up, drive her insane, tease the fuck out of her or make her beg?" The last words were said in a deep voice that brought chuckles from Corey.
"Well, considering that I'm laying in her bed naked, I have to say yes to all of the above. Now what?"
"I'll not say a word to her and I'll help you drive her nuts." She lowered her voice in conspiracy. "First thing you do is play with her ears."
"What's that do?"
"You'll see, quite interesting in a scientific way."
"How do you know it does anything?"
"Charley told me." She rolled off the bed and left a gaping mouthed Corey laying there.
"Play with her ears huh? I can do that." She grinned wickedly and searched for Hyper's shirt to pull on.
@@@@@
With Mack talking to Corey, Hyper had no idea of what to do with herself. She scrubbed the kitchen sink, put the dishes from the dishwasher away, swept and mopped the kitchen floor and was getting ready to clean the wood on the cabinets when Mack stood there and gave her a crazed look.
"What are you doing?"
"Cleaning?" Her voice had shot up a few notches and a light blush colored her face. "Well?" She waved the cleaning rag around in front of her. "What happened, should I run and hide?"
"Jo what ever you do, if you want to live, do not ever call her 'My woman' she will rip your arms off and beat you senseless."
"Ohh, so is she still mad at me?" She dropped down into a chair and back up when she heard the shower come on.
"Ma named you right; sit your ass down Hyperactive. I don't think so but what ever you do, don't do nothing. Just sit there and take her wrath."
"What! I'm supposed to let her smack me in the head if she wants?" She shook her head at Mack. "I'm no pussy whipped wimp." Her eyes narrowed and changed to a silvery color. "No one walks all over me not even a little…" he eyes shot up and watched Corey walk from the bathroom to the bed. "Naked tattooed reporter…OK so maybe she can walk all over me."
Mack leaned back in her chair, crossed her arms over her chest and gave her sister a raised eyebrow look. "I think she can get away with just about anything where you're concerned."
"Can not, I can take what ever she hands out and then some. That didn't sound right." She rubbed her bristly head. Corey made her way back to the bathroom and Hyper let out a deep moan. "What ever Corey wants Corey gets, I am so screwed." Her head dropped to the table and stayed there.
Her head was still down when Corey came into the kitchen, got a cup of coffee and winked at Mack. Placing her coffee on the table, she bent over and whispered into Hyper's ear.
"Huh?" Hyper raised her head and gave her confused look. "Didn't understand a word you said."
"OK, I'll tell you again." She leaned forward, breathed into her ear, pulled on the silver hoop at the top of Hyper's ear and then slowly slipped her tongue inside. Mack sat back and watched her sister's breath hitch, her face turn red and finally her eyes roll back in her head. Corey lifted her head and watched Hyper fall backwards and land on the floor.
"Shit did I kill her?" Corey dropped to her knees and put her ear to Hyper's chest.
"Nah, she just passed out." She laughed. "Told you it was interesting." She gave Corey a huge grin. Corey lifted Hyper's head, laid it in her lap and ran her fingers through the soft dark hair.
"She's gonna kill us when she wakes up."
"Nope, she doesn't know that I know about her problem."
"How long have you and Charley been together?" She asked as she continued to play with Hyper's hair.
"Since we were both twenty, so it's been twelve years. Hyper's two years older than us so I always accused her of cradle robbing."
"Wasn't it hard dating someone your sister dated first? I mean you know."
"Not really, what you're holding down there is a one of a kind." She pointed to her sister. "They dated for six months and that one there never tried anything besides kissing. Chivalry will never die with her around."
"Hyper chivalrous, I don't see that in her, then again I don't really know her." She traced an eyebrow and frowned at the stitches marring the smooth surface. "When I first saw her, she scared me." She looked up at Mack and grinned. "I thought she was a guy for one thing, but her eyes were so cold and distant and then the night she chased me all over Winchester."
"It's what makes her good at her job, she can block out all her emotions in a blink. Having Joe at her side keeps her from going too far at times."
"I don't go too far anytime."
"Bullshit Jo, how many times have I put you back together?"
"Uuhmm…can't count that high and how did I get down here?" She looked into green eyes and felt a warm hand caress her cheek.
Mack leaned forward in her chair and tapped Hyper on her chest. "You underwent a scientific experimentation and passed with honors." She winked at Corey. "You're the first person to pass out from foreplay."
Hyper closed her eyes and groaned. "Aahh maan, Charley's a dead woman!"
@@@@@@@@@@@
The three women sat in Ruby Tuesdays in the Apple Blossom Mall, Corey sat next to Hyper with a soupspoon clutched in her hand. She was ready to smack the Hell out of her if she ate like an animal. Their entrée was delivered to the table and Hyper reached over Corey's shoulder for a stuffed potato skin.
"Which finger do you want broke?"
Hyper's brows drew down over her nose and Mack chuckled. "Huh?"
"Which finger?" Corey waved the spoon over her hand.
"Neither, how am I supposed to eat without using my fingers?" She crossed her arms over her chest, narrowed her eyes at Corey and pouted.
"First, you don't reach across the table like a barbarian." She picked up the plate and placed it in the center so that they could all reach it, then she took one of the skins and held it up to Hyper's mouth. "Just watch my fingers, I need them to type and do other things with." Hyper opened her mouth and let Corey feed her, what Corey wasn't expecting was for Hyper to take her hand and lick her fingers clean. Mack was shocked; she had never seen Hyper do anything like that before. She gave her sister a weird look and received an evil grin, Corey sat holding her breath and looking at her fingers and then looked to Mack with a questioning stare. Mack just shrugged her shoulders and took a potato skin.
"I'll be back in a minute, they forgot something." Hyper jumped up from her chair and went over to the bar.
Corey leaned closer to Mack. "I thought you said she never did anything."
"I'm not to sure that's my sister, maybe I should have checked her for a concussion or brain trauma." She looked to see Hyper speaking to the bartender. "I wonder what she's doing?"
Mack felt familiar hands travel down her shoulders and cup her breasts. "It can only be bad what ever it is." Charley leaned over her, kissed the side of her wife's neck and nuzzled her ear.
Corey could imagine Charley doing that to Hyper and she felt the little green monster raise its head and yell. What are you doing Corey you never get jealous! She forced a smile at the two women and looked for Hyper who had disappeared from the bar.
"Where's Hyper at?"
"No telling with her, she could be back in the kitchen cooking."
"Not! I was sweet talking the bartender into getting us these." She placed a huge platter full of chicken wings and a bowl of blue cheese dressing on the table.
"What did it cost ya this time?" Charley asked after grabbing a chicken wing.
"Two tickets to the Policeman's Ball." She sat down and saw the narrowed eye look she was receiving from Corey.
She slapped Hyper in her shoulder. "You gave away tickets to the Ball, are you nuts? Those things are expensive and not to mention impossible to get."
"I don't need them; I…am in big trouble huh?" She ran a hand down her face and looked from under her dark lashes at Corey. "I'll get two more tickets, for you if you want."
"I'll take them but only if you go with me." She dipped a chicken wing into the dressing and chewed on the end.
"Me, but I've never gone to one before. Why me?"
"I'd ask Joe but I think his wife would get mad. Plus I have this feeling that you look better in a dress uniform." She handed Hyper a chicken wing and pointed to the dressing. "Eat before there's nothing left and you." She pointed to Charley. "No throwing food at each other."
"Big Mack she's no fun."
"Behave or I'll put clothes on all your playmates."
"It's OK Charley, because once we're out of here your ass is mine!" Hyper snarled at her sister in-law. "Tattle tale!"
"What did I do?" She looked to Mack. "Big Mack?"
"One word, ears."
"Ohhh I got it!" She gave Hyper a toothy grin. "Have a nice nap?"
"Shut-up Charley." She looked over at Corey who was doing strange and unusual things to her chicken wing with her tongue and moaned.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Hyper pulled on her shoulder holster and looked to where Corey was typing away on her laptop like a maniac. She still couldn't get over all the teasing she had survived during her meal with the three troublemakers. If it wasn't verbal, it was physical. Corey had her so wound up she was about to fly into pieces. The small woman was certainly a chink in her armor and steadily pounding away at it with a sledgehammer.
"Sure you don't wanna come with us?"
"Yep, I'm on a roll here and I wanna look into some things concerning Gillingham." She rolled her head on her shoulders and then let it drop forward.
"Like what are you looking for?" Hyper moved up behind her and started massaging her shoulders and neck.
"Gods that feels good." She felt Hyper's finger's digging into her tired muscles and forgot what she was going to say.
"You know everything has been sealed up, not one thing can be found tying him into anything illegal."
"Wanna bet I can find something?"
"What'll it cost?"
"Breakfast in bed for a week."
"You're on and I like waffles." She kissed the top of Corey's head and left.
She spoke to the empty room. "Hope you can make them because you're the one who's going to be cooking every morning." Signing onto the ISP, she pulled up her own account and wrote several E-mails to other reporters that owed her. She knew that at least one of them could give her some information and maybe a direction to head in getting some dirt on the Teflon man. "You maybe slick, but after so long you become your own scouring pad. All I need is one tiny little scratch and you'll make it worse by covering it up." She hit enter and sent off her e-mails with a prayer.
@@@@@@@@@@@
Gillingham had the man by his throat and backed into a wall, he squeezed his fingers until the mans face turned a deep red and then purple.
"How in the Hell did you loose two men and Deavers? She's just a tiny little trouble maker and she got away from how many of you self proclaimed hit men?" The man struggled and gasped for breath, Gillingham dropped him in a heap on the floor where the man rubbed his throat and tried to breathe.
"Some tall dude got in front of us and started chasing her to, me and DM took shots at them and the dude shot back at us. That's when DM got blown away."
"Who is this guy, have you seen him before?"
"Heard rumors that he's an addict that throws around big money to the Bloods for what ever shit they got. Gaunt lookin and always shaken like he needs a fix. Buys from us to, from what Beemer told me."
"Who's this Beemer?"
"Junky that hangs out near the bus station, said he saw this guy buying a whole lot of smack."
"I want him and Deavers found and taken to the warehouse where we hold the fights. I'll have two of my men waiting for you as soon as you call in understand? If you fail, they'll find you spread out across three states."
"I understand, we'll find him." He climbed to his feet and left the room as quickly as he could. He knew if he didn't find the dude who screwed him the first time, he would be history in a matter of minutes. After what happened trying to catch that bitch, that was still missing, he would take more guys with him to be on the safe side.
@@@@@@@
Busch pulled the Cutlass up close to the bus depot building and leaned forward to see into the dark. He had dropped Hyper off and went around the block a few times before coming back to wait. He was getting worried; it wasn't like her to be gone so long. He was afraid it was going to be a replay like with the guy who clubbed her. Getting out of the car, he edged his way to the mouth of the alley and listened for voices. His head dropped when he heard the sounds of fists pounding away on someone's body. He prayed that it wasn't Hyper getting the shit kicked out of her.
"What did you tell him?" The raspy voice of Hyper echoed in the alley and then the sound of breaking bones and a loud cry of pain. "Either you tell me or I break your other arm!"
"I told him…I saw you buying…smack!" The sounds of whimpers came to Busch's ears, he was relieved that Hyper was alright but never agreed with how she did things.
"Who is this prick and where can I find him?"
"Hangs around the warehouse area, one of the Schitzo's, names Taqui or some bullshit. Tall white guy wears a black warm-up with gold stripes."
"If you're lying, I'll make sure that you are never heard from again." She pulled back and hit him so hard that she felt his jaw and cheekbone collapse upon impact. She dropped him to the ground and walked to where Busch was waiting. "Call it in; tell them I want him locked up forever. Assault on an officer."
"Hyper I don't think they'll go for it, you just about killed him."
"Yeah well if I was slow and stupid this would be sticking out of my chest right now." She handed him a long shive made out of a screwdriver. "Some fuckers put a price on my head and thanks to that worthless piece of shit!" She walked to where he could see her face clearly; it made his heart stop beating. In all the years they had worked together, never had he seen what was now in front of him. Her eyes were an eerie white, the gauntness of her cheeks deeper from her flexing jaw. What scared him the most was the rage that poured off her body.
"They put a price on Corey, they want her dead." She turned and walked to the car, got in on the drivers side and raced the engine.
"Ohh Christ she's driving." He ran a hand across the top of his head and prayed that if they crashed it would be a painless death.
@@@@@@
Corey checked her e-mail and found two replies to the ones she had sent out. Opening the first one, she read it and then deleted it. The reporter had no information of any kind concerning Gillingham. What she thought was the reporter had been threatened and wasn't taking any chances with what he knew. The second one brought a smile to her face; a reporter for the Jefferson County Journal had information for her and was willing to share it if he got some credit in her story. He was retired and no longer working as a reporter but would help her anyway he could, he just wanted a little piece of the action. She wrote him back, agreed to his terms and would like to set up a time to take him to lunch with in the next day or so. She sent off her reply, shut down the PC and went in search of food. She knew that Hyper would be getting off shift in another hour and home shortly after that. Pulling out lunchmeats, bread and condiments, she made four sandwiches, put two on a plate and put them in the refrigerator for Hyper. Taking hers and a glass of milk into the living room, she turned on the late night news and sat down to watch as she ate. She hoped that there was absolutely nothing on the news about shootings, stabbing' or anything else happening in the area. She was worried knowing that Hyper was out there somewhere, even if Joe was with her, it still didn't make her feel any better.
@@@@@@@@
"We're gonna die!" Busch yelled and pulled his seatbelt tighter. "Slow down Hyper!"
"For Christ sakes Busch we're doing 35!"
"But we're on the SIDEWALK!"
"I know that and so do all the drunks and addicts." She wove around a shopping cart and its owner. "So far I've only hit one person and that was their own fault."
"What's wrong with driving on the street?"
"Doesn't get me as much attention." She cast a glance sideways and grinned. "I want all the cops down here to try and catch us."
"WHAT ARE YOU NUTS?"
"If I get arrested, then whoever wants my head will stop looking on the streets." She held out her hand to him. "I need my wallet otherwise I'll be married by morning and I don't think I get to chose the woman."
She looked in her rearview mirror and saw flashing red and blue lights coming up behind them. "Hang on Busch here we go!" She whipped the wheel to the left, went off the sidewalk and punched the gas pedal. The cop car had a hard time keeping up with her and called in for back up. With in a few minutes, she had six cars on her ass and was headed towards the shopping mall. "When I stop, you stay in the car until they catch me."
"Hyper what in the Hell are you going to do?"
"Run like Hell and hope no one shots me." She handed him her Glock and extra clips. "If they start shooting, run them over for me."
"Right, so you have someone to spend the rest of your unnatural life with behind bars."
"I'll make you my bitch and no one will bother you, OK?" Before he could answer, she stopped the car, jumped out and ran across the parking lot with cruisers after her.
"You crazy ass bitch, damn but you can run!" He watched her out run the cop cars, stop and double back to end up running back towards him. He was laughing as the cops swerved all over the parking lot trying to keep up with her. The sound of a chopper overhead and then a spotlight hit her as she ran. He looked up and saw that it was a news chopper. "I'll be damned, you got what you wanted Hyper." The news would put this out across every channel, she would be a star for a few seconds and hopefully be able to slink off into the shadows and find their bad guy.
"Come on chicken shit!" She waved to the cop car and took off running again. She had recognized the cop driving and knew that if he was the one to catch her, she would have no trouble once inside the car. She stopped, turned and waited for the cruiser. She timed it perfectly for when he slammed on his brakes; she jumped and flipped up to land on the roof of his car. She waved to the chopper and did a little bow for the cruisers surrounding her. "Hey big boy ya gonna help me down?" She winked at him.
"No you asshole! You can jump down; give me a fucking heart attack Hyper!" The older officer pointed to the ground and watched her do a back flip off the roof and land where he had pointed. "I swear you'll be the death of me, now get in the back."
"Come on Uncle Mike, handcuff me."
"No, you'll like it too much."
"For the camera ya big lug, I'm trying to disappear here." She told him of her plan while he did the normal arrest procedures.
"Someone wants you and the reporter dead?"
"Yep." She leaned over the front seat and gave his partner of 22 years and slap in his shoulder. "I think I'm getting close to the main guy, and I can give that credit to Corey."
"Why's that, she's just a reporter right?"
"Ohh she's more than that, she got a picture of a drug deal and then ends up being chased by not only the dealers but me and Joe." She explained everything to her uncle on the way back to her warehouse. If anyone could help her it was him, he had 27 years on the force and knew things that other people had forgotten about.
"You guys talk with the previous owners of the properties around here." He pulled in behind her building and turned in his seat. "Benny what was that guys name that used to own the bar in the warehouse area?"
Benny scratched his jaw and then looked over the seat at Hyper. "I think his name is Shaky Stevens, lives over near Berryville now. You be careful kid, ain't too many of us out here that you can trust anymore. I heard that bastard has a couple cops in his pocket that may have set him off when your friend wrote that first article."
"Thanks boys, I'll let you know if I find anything out." She got out of the cruiser and went in through a back door that was so hard to see that it looked like she just disappeared into thin air.
@@@@@@
Corey was glued to the TV, the news was playing the tape of the high-speed car chase and then the person running through the parking lot at the mall. When the camera zoomed in on the runner, she knew who they were after. Her heart slammed in her chest and she found it hard to breathe, dropping to the floor in front of the TV, she placed her fingertips over Hyper. "Are you trying to get killed?" She murmured to herself. She gasped when Hyper did her acrobatic trick and flipped onto the roof of the cruiser and bowed. "I'm going to kill you! Rip your arms off, break your legs! HOW COULD YOU!"
"How could I what?" Hyper said from where she stood behind the couch. Corey jumped to her feet, ran up on to the couch and jumped Hyper. They hit the floor with a thud and rolled until Corey was straddling a winded cop. "Where you trying to get killed out there?" She grabbed the front of Hyper's hooded sweatshirt and pulled her up so they were eye to eye.
"I saw what you did! Running around the parking lot with the cops after you! And THEN doing flips on and off the damn cruiser! ARE YOU NUTS?!"
Hyper gave her a croaked grin and wiggled her eyebrows. "So everyone tells me."
"AAAAHH!" Corey yelled and pushed Hyper back to the floor. "You just want to drive everyone insane don't you?" She jabbed Hyper in her chest.
"I'm lonely in the nuthouse."
"It's lonely in a body cast to and that's where I'm gonna put you!" She reached out with both hands and tried to slap at Hyper, her frustration grew when Hyper kept slapping her hands back.
"Sissy fight!' Hyper yelled and slapped Corey's hands. "Paddy cake, paddy cake, UUGG!"
Keep it up and I'll jump on your stomach again." Hyper thrust her hips and threw Corey over her head; they wrestled on the floor until Corey was put into a wrestling move where Hyper had her so twisted that she couldn't move.
"Give up yet?"
"NO!"
"OK, ya asked for it." Hyper leaned down, bit Corey on her ass and laughed when Corey yelped. "Give up yet?"
"Go to Hell! Oww damn you Jo!"
"I'm enjoying myself here so just keep saying no." She nipped her again but much closer to her upper thigh. "Hey you called me Jo!" She nipped her on the inside of her thigh and heard a deep moan.
"Keep doing that and I'll call you anything you want. Even snuggly soft."
She went nose to nose with Corey. "I am not snuggly soft. I'm a hard body and don't you let me think anything different." She placed a sloppy kiss on Corey's forehead and released her from the hold. "We got any food?" She pulled a panting Corey to her feet.
"You want to eat after all that?"
"Sure, I worked up an appetite tonight." Corey's mouth dropped open; she couldn't believe that Hyper could be that clueless. No wonder you live alone, all the women die from frustration! She took a deep breath and tried to calm the fire between her thighs that Hyper had caused. She could feel the wetness coating the insides of her thighs and her pulse beat in her center.
Hyper stood with the freezer door open and her head inside, her eyes closed as the frosty air swirled around her face. And wishing that she could dump the ice cube tray down her pants and get away with it.
"Your sandwiches are not in the freezer." Corey smacked her on the ass, pushed her out of the way and opened the refrigerator. "I made these as you were doing your TV debut; I hope you choke on them." She pushed the plate in to Hyper's chest, snarled at her and went in to the living room. When Hyper came in, she looked up at her and shook her head. "You're a slob, what's your sister's phone number?" Hyper stood in front of her with the sandwich hanging out of her mouth and pointed to a walkie-talkie on the shelf by the TV. "Are you telling me that she doesn't have a phone?" Hyper shook her head no and pointed to the floor.
"What about the floor, if you don't explain in two seconds I'm sending you to Hell!"
"Haa! Downstairs." She said around a mouthful.
"Downstairs is the garage…wait a minute this place has three floors!"
Hyper gave her a thumbs up and winked.
"They live right below us?" She slapped her forehead. "And you never told me!" She advanced on Hyper and changed her mind. "You just wait until after I talk to Mack." She took the walkie-talkie and gave Hyper a narrowed look. "Next you'll be drinking out of the milk jug." She turned her head and caught out of the corner of her eye Hyper pulling the milk jug from her cargo pocket. "I just don't believe you." She keyed the button and called for Mack, a few seconds later Mack answered over the small speaker.
"Does Hyper have a last Will and Testament?"
"I think why!"
"Because in two seconds I'm going to kill her!"
"On my way, I wanna watch!"
"Haa! See I'm not the only one!" She jabbed Hyper in her stomach, took the milk from her and went into the kitchen.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Mack chased her sister around the living room with a pillow in her hand, Corey and Charley sat on the couch with their hands over their ears, huge grins on their faces and hoping that Mack caught her.
"Sis I had to do something!" Hyper yelled as she dodged past Mack.
"Like what get yourself killed!"
Hyper stopped and collapsed to the floor in front of the couch, she looked up at Corey and just stared at her. "Someone put a price on our heads, I had to get arrested so that I could have some freedom to try and get the son of a bitch."
Corey covered her mouth with one hand and looked up at the ceiling, tears formed in her eyes and trailed down her cheeks. She closed her eyes, shook her head and wiped the tears from her cheek. "They want us dead because of my article." She said brokenly.
"I don't know but Uncle Mike wants us to talk to the former owners of the properties around here and a guy by the name of Shaky Stevens in Berryville." She moved up onto the couch beside Corey and just sat there lost as to what to do.
"Uncle Mike arrested you?" Charley asked as she leaned back on the couch, took Hyper's arm and draped it around Corey's shoulder. Hyper gave her a small grin, pulled Corey into her side and mouthed a thank you to Charley. "Good thing it was him and Benny, could have been one of Gillingham's thugs."
"Jo, what ever you do, do not go back out on the streets." Mack said. "If it gets out that you're not in jail, they'll be out looking."
"It's my job Mack, how else am I supposed to catch them?"
"Put a damn uniform on and get a cruiser." She squeezed her sister's arm and motioned for Charley. "If you guys need anything just yell."
After they left, Hyper pulled Corey closer and laid her head on top of hers. "Sorry I pissed you off; I didn't know what else to do after I almost got a screwdriver in my chest." She felt Corey pull back.
"You were almost stabbed and you didn't tell me?"
"Sorry, I'm just not used to talking much about stuff like that. I've never had anyone to tell besides Mack and Charley and I didn't think it mattered to you." She shrugged her shoulders.
"Didn't matter to me?" She pushed Hyper down on the couch and straddled her hips. "Do you think I went ballistic because I don't care?" Her green eyes were flashing with a fire so hot that Hyper thought she would combust. "Do you think I waited up for you and made you something to eat because I don't care?" Tears flowed from her eyes to drip onto a panicky Hyper. "If you have a hang nail I want to know!" She started sobbing and collapsed onto Hyper's chest.
"But why?" She felt Corey shudder against her and thought that maybe she had better stop while she was ahead. Corey lifted her head, wiped her face. "Are you really that clueless?" She saw the confused look on Hyper's face and chuckled. "You maybe a Hell of a cop but when it comes to life you don't know a damn thing." She cupped Hyper's face with one hand and pulled her closer. "Open your eyes Hypermnestra; I'm falling in love with you." She brought their lips together for a soft lingering kiss. She broke the kiss and looked into deep blue eyes. "You do know how to kiss don't you?" Hyper nodded her head. "Then kiss me." Corey was not prepared for what Hyper did to her; she swore that her very soul was stolen with one kiss from the tall woman. Fire surged through her veins and made her dizzy, when the kiss broke for lack of air. She rested her head on Hyper's chest to recover.
"Was it OK?" Hyper asked her in a soft insecure voice.
"Mack is right; you're one of a kind." She captured soft lips with her own, they kissed until exhaustion claimed them and they fell asleep on the couch wrapped in each other's arms.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Early in the morning hours, Corey woke first and lay tracing a dark eyebrow with her fingertip then let it trail downward to trace a bottom lip before taking it between her teeth and sucking lightly. She knew the second Hyper woke up, she heard her moan and fingers brush through her tousled hair. Releasing her lip, she kissed her softly before getting up and going into the bathroom.
Hyper lay on the couch, breathing heavy; she had no idea what to do about Corey. She sucked at relationships and the few she had were more or less flops after the sex part was over. Once the women got what they wanted, they never called her again. It did wonders for her ego. When she heard the toilet flush, she got up and went into the bathroom. Walking around Corey who was brushing her teeth, she dropped her pants and sat on the toilet. She couldn't help but smirk at the way Corey's eyebrows buried themselves in her bangs or the way her face turned red.
"Problem?" She croaked.
"Uuhh huh, ig oblem!" She said around the toothbrush. Leaning back against the sink, she watched Hyper through narrowed eyes. When Hyper was finished, Corey dropped the toothbrush in the sink and advanced on her with dark aroused green eyes. Straddling her thighs, she captured her lips for a deep kiss that tasted of toothpaste. Hyper ran her hands up the back of Corey's shirt and massaged the warm soft skin of her shoulders and worked her way around to cup full breasts. A deep moan erupted from Corey and she pressed closer to Hyper and thrust her hips into a tight stomach. Without breaking the kiss, Hyper used one hand, pushed herself up and carried Corey to the bed. Kneeling on the edge, she lowered them until she was on her hands and knees over Corey. Long minutes later, the kiss broke and Hyper looked down into a flushed face.
"Do you really want this?"
"I've wanted this ever since that night in Joe's car." She flipped Hyper over, straddled her hips and removed her shirt and boxers. Taking Hyper's hands in her own, she pressed them to her breasts. "You can touch me, I won't break." She whispered while leaning closer towards waiting lips. Corey moaned when Hyper's hands caressed her breasts, her fingertips brushing her skin and circling her taut nipples. She pressed her breasts forward and offered more to her lover while she pushed her shirt up over her breasts. "Off." She mumbled against Hyper's lips and tugged on her shirt. When Hyper didn't move quickly enough, she ripped it up the middle and pushed the torn material to the side. Nipping Hyper's chin, she nipped all the way down to her upper right breast and pulled the flesh between her lips. Hyper's hips thrust against her and a deep moan rumbled in her chest. Corey left no flesh untouched as she made her way down to where short-cropped hair started. Sitting back on her heels, she ran her hands back up a tight stomach to roll hard nipples between her fingertips. "Look at me Hyper." Dark blue eyes opened to look right into Corey's soul. Corey ran a hand downward until her fingers touched wet curls. Slipping a finger between her folds, she moaned when she felt Hyper's center twitch. Moving Hyper's hand from where it rested on her hip, she moved it between her thighs and pressed it against her wet lips. "Touch me Hyper." Her pupils dilated when she felt two fingers slip into her wetness and tease her center. Covering Hyper's hand with her own, she guided her fingers into her as she entered Hyper's center. Rolling her hips forward, she pressed forward until her lover's palm pressed against her swollen clit.
Hyper's head fell back when Corey's fingers slowly pumped inside of her, she looked back up to watch her lover's face. Reaching up, she pulled Corey down for a loving kiss, their tongues slowly dueling to match the rhythm of their fingers. Soft nips and murmurs were shared as they moved closer to the edge. Hyper could feel her body tensing, each nerve ending firing in her body and her blood racing to her center. She panted against Corey's lips. "I'm yours." Then thrust her hips upward, her back arching off the bed as her climax tore through her with a yell of Corey echoing throughout the flat. At the same time, she felt her fingers squeezed and her lover's juices pouring out to cover her as she bucked against her hand. Corey yelled out and collapsed on top of Hyper, gasping for breath as tremors racked her body. They clung together as the last of their shared climaxes evaporated. Hyper placed soft kisses across her lover's face and neck, taking her time to explore the sweat-dampened skin. She rolled them over, lay with her head on Corey's stomach and ran her fingers through wet curls. Kissing the soft curls, she spread her lover's legs apart and lay down between them. Catching green eyes watching her, she took her first taste and moaned against her. "I love you Corey." She slowly French kissed her nether lips, slipping her tongue inside her center to pull out and circle her twitching clit.
"Hyper…what are…you…" Her hips thrust upward when Hyper sucked gently on her clit and flicked the end with her tongue. Her entire world crashed around her as another climax took her. Deep grunts came from her with each tremor until she fell limp on the bed. She could barely breathe when Hyper crawled up to lay beside her and nuzzle her heaving breasts with her lips. Pulling a nipple into her mouth, Hyper nursed and pressed herself against her lover's thigh. Low grunts came with each thrust until she was crying out against a soft breast. She wrapped her body around Corey and held her until their bodies quieted down and sleep claimed them.
@@@@@@@@
The sound of muffled voices drifted to the lover's ears, snuggling deeper into each other's bodies, they tried to go back to sleep but the voices became louder until it was loud screams. Hyper pulled a pillow over their heads and snickered. She now knew what the screaming was about and couldn't help but think of where her sister and Charley were.
"What's that noise?" Corey mumbled against her lover's neck.
"The slut puppies are in the bathroom." She answered in a low raspy voice.
"Doing what?"
Hyper snickered at her question, rolled over the top of Corey and buried her face against her breasts. "What do you think they're doing?" Thumping came through the floor causing Hyper to laugh deeply.
"Beating the Hell out of the ceiling?"
"More like slamming the shower wall." She raised her head up, rested her chin on Corey's chest and winked at her. "Water aerobics with Charley's strap-on." A light blush covered Corey's face when she pictured the two women downstairs. She covered her face with a hand and couldn't help but groan. "Too much information Jo."
"Leather harness, flesh colored, six inches long…" Her mouth was covered with a hand not allowing her to finish.
"What do you do watch them through the heating vent?"
Hyper scurried off the bed, ran to the bathroom and dropped to the floor over the vent. She put her eye to the floor and tried to spy on the two women.
"You're a pervert Jo."
"How else am I supposed to learn?"
"I don't think you need to learn anything after what you did to me last night." She lay down on top of Hyper's back and started nipping the soft skin of her shoulders. "Do you have one?"
"One what?" Hyper moaned when she felt a tongue lick the side of her neck.
"A strap-on, do you have one?" Hyper rolled them over until they were lying side by side and facing each other. "What would you think of me if I said yes?"
Corey licked at her lips and nipped her chin before answering. "I'd be thinking I'd want to see you wearing it." She slipped a thigh between Hyper's and pressed it against her wetness. "Where is it?" She continued to tease her lover and received unintelligible words in response. Pulling back, she held Hyper's chin between her fingers and looked deeply into her eyes. "Where?"
"Bottom drawer…nightstand."
"You fill the Jacuzzi and I'll get the toy."
Hyper rolled to her back and moaned. "Ohh is she gonna be surprised." Getting to her knees, she turned the water on in the Jacuzzi, hit the heater on and waited for Corey to come back. Hearing a low mumbling from near the bed, she rolled her eyes and went to investigate.
"Hyper it's still in the box!" Corey waved it in the air. "You've never used one have you?"
"Well no, I never got the chance." Her head dropped and she scuffed a toe across the floor. "You're the first lover I've ever had in my bed and the other times I you know... were at their places." She looked up with a light blush to her cheeks and shrugged her shoulders. "I either left afterwards or they did."
"Wait a minute here, you were in their bedroom and they left?"
"They got what they wanted, told me that they were going out for a while and I had better be gone when they got back."
Corey ran a hand down her face and left it to cover her mouth; she looked into clear blue eyes and saw the hurt that lingered there. "They were all stupid." She stepped closer, wrapped her arms around Hyper's neck and pressed their bodies together. "I'm not going anywhere; you're stuck with me for ever." Kissing her gently at first until the hunger took over. Hyper pulled back in panic, she pointed a finger towards the bathroom and gasped.
"Waters still on!"
Mack looked up at the water dripping down on her head from the ceiling and snickered. "Only one reason for that to happen." She ran her fingers through Charley's wet hair. "Jo forgot about turning the water off again."
@@@@@@@@
Hyper lay reclined on the bench in front of the Jacuzzi; she ran her fingers across her lover's aroused body savoring the silkiness beneath her fingers. She had never seen a woman more beautiful than Corey was with her flushed skin, head tilted back and a slight part to her moist lips. A soft moan came from her as she lowered herself down onto the dildo. She stopped to let her body become adjusted to the fullness and connected with dark blue eyes. Running her hands across Hyper's muscular shoulders and chest, she pinched her nipples and felt them hardened. Slowly, she rotated her hips and pressed forward to send the smaller end further into Hyper. Rising upward, she felt the dildo slid out half way before she thrust down against it. Setting the pace, she thrust against Hyper until she felt herself being lowered to the floor and her lover lying between her thighs. She wrapped her legs around the back of Hyper's thighs and opened herself up to her in total surrender. The way her lover moved against her had her climbing quickly, pulling her head down, they kissed with a hunger that overwhelmed them and caused their juices to flow like a river. Soft grunts were exchanged and swallowed as Hyper made short thrusts with her hips. Adjusting how her knees rested on the floor, she was able to push upward and felt the dildo hit a sensitive spot inside of her walls. She knew Corey felt the same thing as a gasp tore from her lips, her head fell back and she dug her fingernails into a strong muscular back. Thrusting faster, Hyper heard Corey calling her name repeatedly until she arched against her and yelled. "I'm…coming!" Her center pulling on the dildo made it twitch inside of Hyper; the end dragged across the sensitive spot and sent her over the edge with a scream. Bright lights flashed before their eyes and their ears buzzed with a deafening sound when their bodies experienced shared climaxes. Hyper's hips jerked with her spasms and sent them back over the edge and into a calm darkness that washed over them like a blanket.
"Are they dead?" Charley asked over Mack's shoulder where they stood looking over the glass-bricked wall.
"Hope not, that would be one Hell of a viewing at the funeral." They snickered and continued to watch the couple like voyeuristic perverts.
Corey was the first to wake from their hour-long nap; she opened one eye and groaned. "Hyper." She whispered hoarsely into her lover's ear and then bit her earlobe to wake her.
"Can't move…stuck."
"They're watching us."
"Who is?" She groaned and buried her face in Corey's neck.
"The perverts from downstairs, their heads are sitting on the wall." Hyper moved her head and looked with one eye up at the glass brick wall to see two heads with huge grins covering their faces.
"Sick bitches, enjoying the view?"
Mack nodded her head at her. "Uh huh, so much in fact that we're going back downstairs to play slave and warlord." She grabbed a hold of the dildo that Charley still wore and dragged her towards the elevator.
"I can't believe those two." Hyper said against her lover's breast.
"I can't believe that we're stuck together." She tried to move and whimpered. "Jo how are we going to get unstuck?" She felt here inner muscles clench when Hyper tried to move off her.
"I don't know has this ever happened to you before?"
Green eyes looked at her, one brow raised and stayed there. "This is a first time using one of these."
"Leave it up to us." She chuckled and then moaned. "Think we can pass as Siamese twins?" Busting out laughing, they moaned and groaned with the discomfort. Hyper wrapped Corey's legs around her and moved so that she could get to her knees. Holding tightly to Corey, she got to her feet, stepped into the Jacuzzi and sunk them both into the hot water. With the relaxing water lapping at them and the long deep kisses, they no longer had a problem. Except for the water sloshing over the side of the Jacuzzi and soaking the floor.
@@@@@@@@
The two lover's lay sprawled across each other in the bed, exhausted from their early morning and afternoon love making sessions. Neither one heard the elevator come up to the floor nor the sound of Hyper's name being called by Busch. He scratched his head and looked around the living room before he saw them in bed. Rolling his eyes and trying to think of how to wake Hyper with out dropping over from embarrassment or having her knock him there. He covered his eyes and walked towards the bed calling her name, when his legs hit the bed; he stopped and peeked out from between his fingers. Seeing his partner and Corey lying naked and wrapped in each other's arms meant one thing, a huge grin came to his face and vanished when an ice blue eye starred at him.
"I ahhh…Hyper…" He spun around so that his back was to them before he continued to speak. "We have a problem." He said with a shaky voice. "The cop that went over to get Corey's clothes was found shot to death in the apartment."
"What did you just say?" Hyper asked as she moved out from under Corey and came around the bed to face him.
"Damn Hyper put something on." He slapped a hand over his eyes and stood there. "The cop that we sent to Corey's, someone killed her. Homicide says that she was in the bedroom getting Corey's clothes and someone came in and emptied a clip into her. They used a .22 short at close range." He uncovered his eyes and knew it was a mistake when he saw the rage on her face.
"What did the cop look like?"
"Small like Corey, blonde hair, dressed in civvies and driving an unmarked police car. She left it sitting right out in front of the apartment building."
"Son of a bitch!" She went to her dresser and pulled out clothes for both her and Corey. "What does the chief say about this?" She asked as she pulled a shirt over her head.
"That's why I'm here; he wants the two of you out of the area until they can pick up the shooter or shooters. Ballistics hasn't had a chance to check the slugs yet. And CSU is still over there trying to pick up new prints if they were left."
"What about that Taqui guy, have they checked him out yet?"
"Chief has units out looking, you know how it goes."
"Yeah if he wants to get lost there's not a damn thing we can do about it." She pulled on her boots and motioned to the kitchen. "I need coffee before I can think straight."
@@@@@@@
Half a pot of coffee later, they had laid out plans on what she was to do while away from the area. She wasn't worried about her sister or Charley being in the building, there was no way that anyone could link her to being a cop or owning the building since it was in Charley and Mack's names. She had made sure from the very beginning of her career as a cop that everything would be in Mack and Charley's name in case anything happened to her while on the job.
"OK, we'll be far enough away from Winchester but not that far that I can't get back here in a hurry. We'll be at my usual hideout, so if you need me just call." She pulled a set of keys out of the junk drawer and stuck them in her pocket. "While we're gone I'm going to look into the previous owners like Uncle Mike suggested."
"If I hear anything I'll give you a call and be careful out there." He pulled her into a hug and kissed her cheek. "I don't want a new partner, you hear me?"
"Same goes for you old man." She squeezed his shoulder and watched him get into the elevator. Going to the bookshelf in the living room, she pulled at one side of it and disappeared. Taking the steps down to the second floor, she went through a door that opened up into her sister and Charley's living room. With their living area close to being the same as hers, she went to where they were still in bed and woke Mack. She explained what she had to do and where she and Corey would be in case of emergency. Kissing both women before she left for an unknown amount of time. She turned when she heard Mack call out to her to be careful. Giving her a small wave and a nod of her head, she went back up the stairs to her own home.
"You are going to be soo pissed." She ran her fingers through the spiky hair on her crown and sighed. Pulling a leather backpack from the armoire, she shoved clothes, knives, handcuffs and extra shells for her Glock inside before zipping it up. Now came the hard part, waking her lover and explaining.
@@@@@@
They took the secret stairwell all the way down to the garage, Corey was ready to go to the Viper when she felt Hyper take her hand and pull her in the opposite direction.
"Aren't we taking the car?" She asked as she jogged to keep up with her lover's long stride.
"Nope, we're taking my other form of transportation." She stopped at a steel door, pulled her keys out and opened it. "The only people who know about this are Mack and Charley." She flipped a switch on the wall that lit up a dark set of stairs. "Come on baby lets get the Hell outta here." She took Corey's hand in hers and gave it a slight squeeze.
"What is this place?" Corey asked while looking at the solid brick walls of the tunnel.
"A passage that the three of us built years ago, it's so that if we need to get out of the building undetected we can."
"But Mack's a vet and Charley works for the county?"
"We really don't know why we had to build it, it's like an instinct or something told us to do it. Like the secret door to their flat, we're the only ones who know it's there." Hyper stopped when they came to another door; she pulled it open and stepped into a medium sized room. Flipping a ceiling light on, the room filled with bright light and blinded them for a few seconds.
"Boy that was smart!" Hyper said as she squinted. "Gotta remember not to do that again." She rubbed her eyes and blinked a few times. When Corey could see again, she looked around the room and saw three Harleys in the center of the room.
"I knew you had to have a motorcycle hidden somewhere." She wrapped her arms around Hyper's waist and rose up on her toes for a kiss.
"Why did you think that?"
"You look the type that's all; I can see you wearing leather." She ran her fingers through her lover's dark hair and played with the spiky hair on top. "It's growing out fast, you going to let it grow all the way out?"
"Depends on you." She leaned down and captured Corey's lips for a deep erotic kiss that had her thinking of other things besides escaping.
@@@@@@@@
Hyper hit a small black box on her key ring and waited for the steel door on the room to slide open. Starting her Harley, she shifted it into gear and pulled out into the large concrete drainage pipe that opened up into an open field a half mile from the warehouse. She knew that Corey was probably having a conniption fit with her at that point but it would have to wait. At least until she was done playing James Bond. They took all the side roads and came out onto old RT. 340 heading towards Leesburg and Charlestown. Hyper to the exit for RT. 9 and continued down the road until she came to a dirt road with a steel gate blocking it. Going around it, she tore up the road, she felt Corey hold onto her tighter as the Harley fishtailed in the loose dirt. Shooting in between trees and out cropping of limestone rocks, she eased them down a steep incline that took them down near the river and a log cabin sitting back from it. Slowing until she pulled up under an overhang, she turned the motor off, pulled her helmet off and sat for a few seconds to take in the view around her. She loved it out here and wished that she had more time to spend here besides than the occasional weekend. She felt Corey slip off from behind her, hand her the helmet she had worn and saw that she was staring out across the glistening river. The look on her face was total awe; a bright glimmer came to her eye when she saw the Old Towne canoe sitting next to the cabin.
"What do ya think?" Hyper asked as she went to stand behind her and pull her against her body.
"It's beautiful here, so quiet." She leaned her head back against her lover's chest and inhaled deeply of the pine scent from the trees and sandalwood from her lover. She still couldn't figure out how her lover always smelled that way since she hadn't found anything at home. With that last word, she felt a tingle race through her body. She hadn't had a home in a long time and it felt good to know she had one now with Hyper. "I feel something that feels very familiar but out of place." She pushed back against Hyper and heard her moan. She reached behind her, ran her hands up the insides of Hyper's thighs, and found it snuggled against her right thigh. "Did you forget to take something off?" She pulled on the strap-on and felt Hyper's hips thrust into her from behind.
"I was in a hurry and Busch was there." Corey stopped playing with her thigh and turned to look at her blushing lover.
"You mean that Busch saw you wearing the strap-on?" She busted out laughing when Hyper nodded her head.
"But he saw you all sprawled out on the bed…until I covered you up." She grinned and then slammed her eyes closed when a hand went into her front pocket and searched around. She opened her eyes when she heard the jingle of keys. Corey searched the key ring and found the right one for the door. Opening it, she took Hyper's hand and pulled her inside, pushed her against a wall and kicked the door closed. With deft fingers' she had her lover's cargo pants hitting the floor in seconds. Dropping to her knees, she took the dildo between her lips and sucked on the very tip while keeping eye contact. Hyper shuddered, her hips thrust forward and a small whimper escaped her lips when Corey took the length into her mouth. She would have never thought that she would get aroused by something like this and found out how wrong she was. Her center twitched around the shaft inside her and juices flowed to coat the harness. Her knees were growing weak and her legs were shaking, as she grew closer to climaxing. Corey's small hand was sliding up and down the shaft and her tongue was flicking the very tip. Then she stopped. Hyper closed her eyes and let out a low moan, taking deep breaths to calm her self down. She felt her clit twitch and knew it was swollen and sensitive and that she felt like she was going to die.
Corey stripped out of her clothes while she watched her lover's hips move and the dildo twitch in the harness. Grabbing the dildo, she pulled Hyper forward towards the wooden chair near the door. Pushing her to sit down on the edge, Corey kneeled between her thighs. Running her hands up Hyper's thighs to the buckles on the harness, she quickly undid them. Slowly, she removed the short end from inside of Hyper. Spreading her legs wider, she inserted it into herself and attached the harness. The entire time, Hyper watched her through slit eyes and panted.
"Come here Jo." Corey said in a deep seductive voice and pulled her lover down to the floor. Kneeling between her thighs, she moved the tip against glistening lips, she pushed it in part way and moved it between her folds. "I'm going to make you come so hard you feel like you've died and gone to the Elysian Fields." She teased Hyper with the tip until she was begging, moving her legs further apart, she offered her self to Corey. Seeing her lover's juices flow from her center made her mouth water. She dropped her head, pushed her tongue deep inside of Hyper and heard her cry out. "You're gonna go to Hell!"
"I'll take you with me." She murmured against her and pushed her tongue in once more. Placing a kiss on her lovers' swollen clit, she moved up and pushed into her with the dildo. The second she entered her, she set a pace that had her driving upward towards Hyper's tender spot. Bracing her hands on either side of Hyper's ribs, she grunted each time, she pumped into her. Leaning forward she sucked a nipple through her T-shirt until Hyper pulled her shirt up and held her breast for her. "Ohh Gods harder…" She panted out and raised her hips. "Right there!" She moaned and pulled a grunting Corey harder against her. Her head fell back, back arched, the veins on her neck bulged and a deep red covered her upper chest. Corey released her nipple and rested her forehead against her breast; she could feel her climax right on the edge. Tilting her hips upward more, she pumped into her twice and sent them over the edge screaming out each other's names. Neither woman remembered anything after that until they woke up at the same time and moaned at the fullness that was still inside of them.
"Love you Corey." Hyper moaned into her ear when she slid the dildo out.
Corey pulled her lips to her and gave her a gentle kiss. "Love you to hedgehog." She wrapped her arms around her neck and pressed her face into her sweat-dampened skin. Lifting her hips up, she let Hyper undo the harness buckles and ease the dildo out. She sighed when she was cradled in strong arms and held. "I think I'm going to have a big problem walking in the morning."
"That makes two of us; we'll just stay in bed all day." Hyper kissed her temple and just lay there holding her lover.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
The next day, they headed into Charlestown to find Corey's reported friend and see what kind of information the man had. Hyper was expecting someone who chain-smoked, had his lunch all over his chest, thick bifocal glasses and a habit of waving a hand in your face to get your attention. Not a small quiet man that looked more like Santa than the real one did. They sat on his back porch drinking coffee for a few hours while he told them of everything he knew about Gillingham and his habit of loosing contact with acquaintances. When they left, Hyper was muttering to herself and Corey was slapping herself on the back and shooting a hand in the air.
"And I want fresh strawberries to go with my waffles, and you have to feed me."
Hyper stopped walking and looked down at her lover with a raised eyebrow. "Strawberries and I have to feed you? I don't remember that in the bet." Corey stepped up in front of her and tapped her on the chest. "That's because you my little hedgehog didn't think of it, which doesn't matter because I won." She stuck her tongue out and tweaked a nipple through her lover's T-shirt before heading to the Harley. "Ohh and another thing, you have to do it in the buff!" She wiggled her brows at her and chuckled at the fish out of water look she got.
"Aaahhh maaan, this ain't fair!" She scratched the top of her head and grinned behind Corey's back when an evil idea came to her.
@@@@@@@@@@
"OK, so we have all these supporters for other public delegates that suddenly lost interest for who they were supporting and jumped on Gillingham's wagon. Then we have all the owners of businesses in the area that all of a sudden lost their asses for some reason and sold out very cheap." Hyper wrote in a notebook as Corey paced back and forth in front of her dictating, she stopped, planted her hands on her hips and tilted her head to the side. "All of this went on three months into each election year; the owners were the money behind the supporters, that were collecting for the election fund."
"So, he takes out the competitors by stealing their supporters and the people behind the money. But how does he sway them over to his side?" She looked down at the various names Corey's friend had given them. Seeing some very powerful names that had a hand into everything. "How does he do it?" Corey stepped up to her, sat on her lap and straddled her thighs.
"How better to blackmail someone than to know their weaknesses." She licked her lover's earlobe and nipped the tender area of her neck. "We find out their weaknesses and then we find the person responsible for their downfall." Licking the hollow of Hyper's throat, she then whispered in a deep seductive voice. "What's your weakness?"
She cleared her throat and sputtered. "Well, there's this…gorgeous woman…with a…great ass…and tits…that I drool…over…her names…Lucy L…OOWWW!"
"Asshole!" Corey put her in a headlock and bit down on the tip of her ear. "What's her name?"
"Yancy Butler! OWWW!!" Hyper tried to wiggle loose and failed. "Estelle Getty?"
"You are completely hopeless!" Corey let her loose and found herself flipped over on the couch and pounced on.
Hyper brought their faces so close together that they were nose to nose. "You're my one, only and greatest weakness." The notebook was forgotten as well as their conversation for the rest of the night.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Corey almost fell out of the bed when Tarzan's yell echoed right outside the bedroom window. She rubbed her eyes and looked to see the sunlight blazing through the window and into Hyper's face. The sides of her nose wrinkled with her smile as she looked down at her lover, drool trickled from the corner of her mouth to soak her pillow, her spiky hair slanted to one side and formed a horn and the vibrant purple of the bite marks on her neck and shoulder finished a comical picture. Even in the state Hyper was in, including her snore made Corey's heart burst in her chest. She thanked all the women from her lover's past for being so stupid. The yell came again reminding Corey of why she was awake, shaking Hyper, she whispered in her ear.
"Some nuts outside yelling."
"That's nice." Hyper mumbled, rolled over and buried her slobbery face against Corey's breasts.
"Jo, Tarzans swinging from the ceiling fan and Cheetah wants me for a sex slave."
"OK."
"Hypermnestra get up!" She yanked on the hoops in the top of her lover's ears and watched blue eyes shoot open.
"What?"
"There's some nut case outside…" She cringed when the yell came again. "That!" She pointed to the window. Hyper grinned like a lunatic, jumped from bed and ran from the room.
"What the Hell?" Corey grumbled and followed behind her lover. When she got outside, she couldn't believe her eyes. Hyper ran buck naked towards a tree near the water, grabbed a rope, swung out over the river and did some kind of war cry before doing a flip and hitting the water. "She's insane but that still doesn't explain…crazy ass bitches!" She watched Mack dive from a branch high above and slice into the water. The three women splashed and played in the water like a bunch of little kids. She walked down to the waters edge, braced her hands on her hips and cast a glaring look at them. "You're all nuts!"
Charley jumped up in the water and yelled at the top of her lungs. "Whhhaaa Hooo nekkid beaver!" Corey turned a deep red and looked down to the thin strip of hair below her belly. Gurgling noises brought her head up to see Mack trying to drown her wife by dunking. Shaking her head and throwing her hands in the air, she took off running and dove beneath the water. She swam around their legs and pulled them all under but not before someone got a free feel. Spurting when she cleared the water and waited for them to surface. "Who grabbed my ass?"
"Ohh was that your ass I grabbed?" Hyper gave her the most innocent look she could and lost her composure when Corey gave her a smoldering look.
"If you don't know by now, then you need lots of practice." She swam over to Hyper, wrapped around her body and took them both under.
"Did you see all the bite marks on Jo?" Charley stuck her finger in her mouth and pretended to gag.
Mack jabbed a finger into her wife's chest. "If I remember correctly, you were the first one to leave marks all over her."
"Was that me?" She pushed her hair out of her face and grinned. "Could have been, but I don't do that anymore."
"Yeah right!" Mack splashed her and then pointed to the large bruise over her breast. "Then what's this huh?"
"Did I ever tell you about the huge sucker fish in this river?" She dropped under the water the second Mack came near her. Looking around, she found herself completely alone except for the fisherman going past in his boat. "Just great they leave me out her to be ogled by some pervert."
Charley tapped her on the shoulder and ducked when a hand whizzed past her. "How do you know I was ogling you?"
"Or us?" Hyper said from the other side. Corey leaned her head against her lover's head from where she was hanging off her back. "I don't know about you guys but I'm hungry and Jo's making waffles."
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
"So can you find out where all these people are?" Hyper handed Charley the list of names they had. "They may be the ones to help me take Gillingham down."
"I'll check tomorrow at work, I can run the names, get the addresses and all the deeds of sale should be on file…"
"And that hopefully will give us Gillingham." Corey said as she handed Charley another piece of paper. "That's a corporation that I haven't been able to get anything on. It changed hands so many times that no one for sure knows who owns it."
"Rieser Enterprises?" Mack read from the paper. "That sounds familiar but I don't know why?"
Corey sat down on Hyper's lap and rattled off what she remembered about the place. "Maybe because it was supposed to be a huge outlet mall over near Apple Blossom mall. It fizzled out after they couldn't get zoned or something. After that there's nothing, except that Gillingham holds illegal fights in it."
Charley pointed to a name halfway down the page. "This guys dead by vacuum hose."
"Vacuum hose, what'd he do trip over it?" Corey asked.
"Only if that's how it got through the window of his car." She grinned up at them. "Found him in the parking lot of his former business, monoxide got him."
"Well, I'm gonna get Jo if she doesn't stop squirming." Mack yanked on her sister's ear trying to keep her from jerking around when she was removing her sutures. "How would you like a pair of forceps stuck up your nose?"
"Would you really do that to me?" She fluttered her lashes at her sister and smiled.
"What do ya think Corey, a bone or a bull ring through her nose after I pierce it?"
Corey didn't bat an eyelash when she answered; she was too involved in the list she was looking over. "The ring, that way I can drag her around. Hey what about this one here, the company was on the fortune 500 list, then a month after hitting the list it crashes and burns." She looked up at Hyper. "Literally."
"The textile place that blew up, caused other warehouse to close down because of structural damage?"
"The same company that two months later took over another textile mill in Roanoke." Mack added.
Charley folded the lists, stuck them in her coat pocket and stretched. "I'll check into all this tomorrow and let ya know, time for me and Cuddles to head home." She pulled Mack onto her lap and rested her head on her shoulder. "She has to be up early to make me breakfast."
"Ohh I don't even think so Tarzan of the lost brain, come on before I do a lobotomy on you. See ya guys." She pulled a smirking Charley behind her, Hyper and Corey could hear here mumbling all the way out the door.
"Come on Jo, I need a shower after our skinny dipping today." She pulled Hyper to her feet and headed to the bathroom. "I can't believe I have lost all my modesty, run around naked and skinny dip in the river." She shook her head.
"Knew I could warp ya in a week." Hyper said before she picked her up and carried her the rest of the way to the bathroom.
With the water-cooling in the bathtub, Corey leaned closer into Hyper's body and shivered. After their shower, they had run a bath so that they could relax after their muscles were given a work out from making love while standing up. "I think my lips are turning blue." Corey said with chattering teeth.
"I'll thaw them out when we get in bed."
Hyper fell asleep with her head resting on Corey's back and her fingertips tracing the Celtic tattoo that spanned the area of her lower back above her trim hips. It had taken her awhile but she figured out that the design had two dragons intertwined with Celtic artwork surrounding them.

Gillingham spun the cylinder of the snub-nosed .38 in his hand, pointed at Taqui's head and pulled the trigger to hear a click.
"You are a piece of shit, I tell you to take out an addict and a reporter. The addict gets arrested and you kill a cop instead of the reporter." He pulled the trigger again to hear a click and a gasp from Taqui. "What you did to that cop can't be covered up." He grabbed him by the front of his shirt and lifted him from the chair. "Because you stupid asshole, you left the body there to be found. Now the reporter may never be found!" He dropped him, pulled the trigger and heard the loud noise echo throughout the warehouse. Motioning to one of the police officers that worked for him, he ordered him to dispose of the trash. He walked over to a collection of 55-gallon plastic drums and chose one that has the word corrosive printed across the side. Prying the lid open, he dropped the .38 inside and walked away.

Busch walked into the Chiefs office and stood before his desk, he had been called in from home and was wondering what had happened. He was never called at home let alone by the Chief himself.
"You know who this guy was?" The chief handed him the picture that the CSU team had taken.
"Yeah, I think his names Taqui. Me and Hyper have been trying to find him."
"He was found in the dump this morning, one slug to the side of his head." He leaned back in his chair and watched Busch. "Where's your partner?"
"Recuperating like you ordered."
"Get her in here, I have questions for her."
Busch had a bad feeling in his gut. "Sir I can answer any questions that you have."
"This doesn't concern you Busch; it's your partner that's in trouble." He pointed to the door and waited until Busch was gone before pulling out the file on Hyper. "Most decorated, Governor Citation and all the other bullshit that you never deserved." He tossed her file into the bottom drawer of his desk and left his office. Busch waited until the way was clear before going into the Chiefs office a looking for what the Chief had put in his drawer. Pulling out the file, he saw Hyper's name on the tab. "Fucking Chief." He mumbled as he searched through her file looking for a clue as to why she was being called on the carpet. He found it on a yellow sticky note and read. "Four counts of murder." One of them was the female cop and then Taqui's
@@@@@@@@@@@
Charley had stayed in her office during her lunch break to find the information that Hyper and Corey needed. Some of the stuff she found would send then into a rage, things tended to get lost when there were so many changes being made but when you have employees who are pack rats, nothing is seldom lost forever if you know where to look. She had found records of transfer going back ten years. What brought a wicked smile to her face was that some of them had so blatantly falsified that the IRS and State Govt. was sure to be interested in them. A few dollars here and there is nothing to the state when it comes to taxes. However, when a company is sold for a quarter of a million dollars and the taxes collected are only five hundred dollars, there's a problem. Stuffing them into a large folder, she put them in her backpack and hid it under her desk. When the door chime sounded, Charley looked to the front of the office and saw her uncle Mike and his partner Benny heading back towards her door. She stood and was about to step out from behind her desk when Mike pointed a finger and then raised it to his lips. Benny closed the door and stood so that he could see out of the small window.
"I want you to go out the back, get over to Mack's office and go to where ever it is you guys hide. But don't go home."
"Uncle Mike what's going on?"
"I just got word from Joe that the Chief wants Hyper on murder charges. We know it's a set up and that if she comes in she'll end up dead."
"Fuck me!" She ran a hand across her face and nodded her head. "Why do we all have to hide though?"
"Simple fact that some of the officers know you is related, if they can get one of you…"
"Then they get Hyper, what about you? You're her and Mack's Uncle?"
"It's easy Charley," Benny replied. "We act like we can't stand any of your guts because of your life styles. It'll work with those shallow assholes."
"OK, I'm out of here then." She grabbed her backpack and went out the back door of her office and to her car. Mike and Benny went back out to the front office and pretended to look up property addresses as they did at least once a week. When they left with maps in their hands, a suspected bad cop stopped them outside.
"What have you guys got going on?" The cop asked as he pointed to the map.
"Arrest warrant for a dead beat dad over in the Abrahms creek area, five years of un-paid child support is landing him in jail."
"That come down from that woman judge? Hate that damn bitch, fucking muff diver."
"Should lock all those fags and lesbians up instead of a dead beat dad." Mike waved to him and he and Benny went to their cruiser. "And I should shoot your fucking ass for being a turncoat." He added as they pulled away from the building.
@@@@@@@@
Mack had just placed a small male dog inside on of the holding cages. She checked his sutures once more where his testicles used to be and closed the door. Pulling her blood stained scrub shirt over her head, she had just dropped it into the laundry bin when Charley came rushing into the back.
"Are you done for the day?" She looked at her wife then to the front door nervously.
"Yeah what's wrong with you?"
"We have to go like now!" She handed Mack a clean scrub shirt and then grabbed her hand.
"Hold on there Charley, what the Hell is going on?"
"Uncle Mike and Benny dropped by my office, he told me we have to go hide with Hyper and Corey. The Chief has set Hyper up on murder charges." She explained the rest to her and then pulled her to the front door.
"Hold up Charley, let me tell Emily before we split." She went into the small office, told her assistant that she wouldn't be in for the next few days because of a family emergency and then hustled a nervous Charley out the door.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Shaky Stevens lived in a trailer out in the middle of a field in Berryville Virginia, the landscape was of dried out fescue and rocky dirt. With each breeze, the dirt swirled around the rusty trailer and brought the scent of cows with it. Hyper and Corey got off the Harley and walked up to the rusted and dented door, before Hyper could knock; an old man pushed it open and looked down at them with rheumy eyes.
"Whatcha want, I ain't got nothin so leave me alone."
"Mr. Stevens my names Jo, you know my uncle Mike."
Shaky scratched the scruffy beard on his gaunt cheeks and looked at Hyper through narrowed eyes. "The cop from Winchester?"
"Yeah, Uncle Mike and his partner Benny used to go in your bar."
"I remember them but what brings you out here?"
"I want to know what happened to your bar, why it was closed down."
He stepped outside and pointed to an old picnic table at the side of his trailer. He sat down and ran a finger through the built up dust before looking at both women. "I had that bar for nearly 45 years, made a little profit, had a bunch of regulars I called friends. Was doing OK until the area started to change, Mills closed down factories went out of business. People left the area and my business went with them, those workers were my bread and butter."
Corey leaned forward on her elbows and caught his attention. "At the time of your bar closing, there were still a lot of the businesses operating in the area. Mr. Stevens this is very important that we find out what happened. People have been killed and more are sure to follow if we can't get to the truth." She pleaded with her eyes and prayed that he would give them something. He looked into the distance and spoke with a low monotone voice.
"It started about eight months before I went out of business, my customers were getting beat up in the parking lot a couple times a week, windows in their cars smashed, tires flattened, windows in the bar broke out in the middle of the night, dumpster out back set on fire." He shrugged his shoulders and turned his attention back to them. "People don't wanna come to a place and end up beat up and robbed."
"What else happened Mr. Stevens?" Corey laid her hand on top of his and nodded her head.
"They came in one night after I closed, smashed the place up, used a baseball bat on me and left me there with the message, either sell or die. What choice did I have?"
"Who did this?" Hyper asked in a low voice.
"Patrol Cops. One of them was known as swing or something like that."
"Swinger? Is that the name?"
"Yep Swinger, wore a fancy ring on his finger."
Hyper ran a hand across her jaw and looked into worried green eyes. "Swinger's a beat cop, wears a gold Hall of fame's ring. Real names Robert Cheasters, plays on the precinct softball team."
"So now we have to find out who these cops are working for." Corey brought her hands up to her face and braced her chin on them. "If your uncle doesn't know, how are we going to find out?" She shivered with the look that came over her lover's face, she had seen that look once before and didn't like it anymore now than then. A corner of her lip raised in a snarl, her voice came out as a dangerous purr.
"I go get Cheasters and beat it out of him." She thanked Shaky, took Corey by her hand and went back to her Harley.
"Hyper you can't go after a cop!"
"Ohh yes I can, if it leads me to the boss then I'll do what ever needs to be done."
Corey jumped in front of her and placed her hand on Hyper's chest; her fiery green eyes drilled into her and spoke her feelings. "Please don't do this, you could get killed."
"This is not up for discussion, I've made my decision." She walked around her and got on her Harley. "Are you coming with me or what?" Her eyes were cold and showed no emotion, not even with the tears coursing down her lover's cheeks. Corey wiped her eyes, pulled her helmet on and got behind Hyper. Her sobs were unnoticed as she clung to the body in front of her, she had to change her mind some how. She couldn't loose her after just finding her.
@@@@@@@@@@@@
Hyper saw no other way but to go after Cheasters, if she didn't other people could and would be killed just to keep Gillingham from paying for his actions. She would rather sacrifice herself than to think of loosing Corey or her family to Gillingham and his thugs if he found out her true-identity. Her mind was reeling with what could happen and what she would need to do, pulling off RT. 9 onto the dirt road that would take them to the cabin, she saw clouds of dust up ahead and felt panic seize her heart. Gunning the throttle, she tore up through the trees in hope of arriving before the intruders. She caught a flash of chrome and then the cherry red fender of a Harley cutting up through the path and her heart calmed. Taking off after the motorcycle, she pulled to a stop next to Mack.
Corey got off the back of the Harley and ran to the cabin, Mack and Charley knew something was wrong at that moment and turned to the stone-faced Hyper with questioning eyes.
"What is going on Hyper?" Mack asked as she set her helmet on the mirror.
"Nothing why?" She pulled her helmet off and set it on the seat, then pulled her gloves off and stuffed them in her pocket never meeting her sister's eyes.
Mack stepped in front of her and grabbed the front of her shirt. "Don't fucking lie to me, I'll knock the living shit out of you!" Hyper narrowed her eyes at Mack and shoved her away.
"Lay off, there's nothing wrong!" She started towards the waters edge and turned too late. Charley hit her low and took them both into the water. They struggled and fought while Mack went into the cabin to see Corey.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Corey was standing with her one arm crossed over her breasts and her other hand covering her mouth. She stood looking out the kitchen window watching the birds fly from tree to tree. Her mind was spinning with what Hyper was going to do; she had no idea of how to stop her.
"Corey what's wrong?" Corey wiped the tears from her face and turned to see a very pissed off Mack standing in the doorway. Her chin trembled and tears fell from her eyes when she shook her head. "I know something's wrong; I saw it on Hyper's face."
"Ohh Gods Mack." She started to sob and felt strong arms wrap around her, she buried her face in Mack's neck and cried. When she was calm enough to speak, she told Mack what Hyper had planed.
"Ohh nooo she's NOT!" Mack took Corey's hand and led her outside.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
"You fucking bitch!" Hyper yelled at Charley and charged at her, Charley faked right then shot back to her far left and popped Hyper in her jaw and came back with a back handed fist and caught her in her cheek. With both women soaking wet and standing in mud, it was hard for them to move. Hyper tried to do a spin kick, slipped, fell and took Charley down with her. They rolled around in the mud, punched and kicked each other. The sounds of them growling and grunting alerted Corey to what was going on before she cleared the door; she ran out and froze at the sight before her.
"We have to stop them Mack."
"Nope, let them fight it out. Hyper will learn one way or another."
"Learn what, how to beat up her own sister in-law?" She started towards them and felt a hand take her upper arm.
"Just wait a minute and see what happens."
"Come on Hyper you can do better than that!" Charley taunted and wiggled her fingers. "Come on super cop, come and get me!"
Hyper bellowed and charged at Charley and found herself flat on her back with the taste of blood in her mouth.
"Ya ain't so tough are ya?" Charley straddled her hips and poked her in the chest. "You will never win because you let your anger get a hold of you." She cupped Hyper's face in her hands and looked into her flinty eyes. "What ever you have in that head of yours forget it, it won't work and you and I know it. Now kiss me you big idiot." She puckered her lips and made kissing noises that brought a croaked smile to Hyper's lips. "Now go apologize to Corey." She helped her up, gave her a hug and smacked her on the ass before going over to Mack. "She got me a few times baby, ya gonna kiss 'em and make 'em better?"
"Come on lets go get you cleaned up." Mack took her wife's swollen muddy hand and led her into the cabin. "You know you'd be in deep shit if she could control that temper?"
"I know but I have you to patch me up and her after I take revenge and run her over with my car."
Hyper dropped her head and walked stiffly over to where her lover stood, when she was close enough, she dropped to her knees, wrapped her arms around Corey's waist and pressed her face into her stomach. "I'm sorry." She mumbled and looked up into tear-filled eyes. "I was wrong and I'll think of something else to get to them." She pressed her face back into her lover and felt tears of regret fill her eyes.
Corey ran her fingers through the short hair at Hyper's crown and down to where it was longer. Pulling her head tighter against her, she felt the soft sobs vibrating against her, sinking to her knees; she hugged her lover tightly to her and whispered into her ear. "I love you Jo and I don't ever want to loose you."
@@@@@@@@@
Mack had just finished fixing the cuts and abrasions on her wife's face and body when Hyper and Corey came into the kitchen. From the looks on their faces, she knew that everything was all well again between them. Hyper sat in a chair next to a grinning Charley while Corey got a wet towel to clean the blood and mud from her face. Charley sat there watching Hyper with a smirk, she knew it was driving her sister in-law nuts but that's what made it so much fun. After Hyper's face was clean, Charley wrapped her arms around her neck and pulled her against her. "Love ya man!" She said and placed a wet sloppy kiss on her cheek.
"You're lucky I went easy on ya Charley, otherwise you would have kicked my ass harder." Hyper hugged her back and kissed her forehead. "Thanks Charley, I can always count on you to set me straight. Now what are you guys doing up here?"
"I know you're not going to like this one bit." Mack said and then sat down at the table to tell them about the conversation that Charley had with Uncle Mike and Benny. When both women were done, Hyper and Corey were both ready to go and beat the Hell out of the chief of police.
"He's the one that told me to get out of there, so know he wants my ass hung out to dry on a multiple murder rap?" She slammed her hand on the table, got up and paced the floor. "What are we going to do?"
"How about, if we lure all interested parties to the warehouse." Corey got up and started to pace the kitchen, her hands waving in the air to get her points across as she talked. The one where Gillingham has the fights, they think that you will be there to make a deal. I set it up a video camera along with some microphones for a live fed to the news station."
"And we get them on camera conspiring to murder a police officer." Hyper pulled Corey down onto her lap and gave her a gently kiss. "Only one problem I see and that's when they start shooting at me."
"Let us handle that part." Charley said and picked up the phone. "I have friends in strange places."
Mack leaned on her sister's shoulder and checked the small cut on her cheek. "Can Uncle Mike and Benny get some cops not with the Chief and Gillingham over there for when it goes down?"
"I hope, if not maybe I can get some Feds in there, maybe DEA will come over and help."
@@@@@@@@@
Corey lay next to Hyper in the back bedroom that they had been using while Charley and Mack took the one at the other end near the front. With everything that had happened that day, all four of the women were exhausted and not able to keep their eyes open after their showers. As soon as Hyper's head hit the pillow she was asleep, Corey snuggled up to her side, rested her head on her shoulder and fell asleep seconds later. None of them knew about the rampage that went on in the warehouse district until the next morning when they watched the news. A reporter who was at the scene could only describe it as a war zone. Sheet covered bodies lay in the alleyways and streets, cops stood guard in front of crime scene tapes while the CSU units took measurements and collected evidence. The reporter covered her ear and nodded to her camera operator. "I've just been informed that a wallet was found at the scene, the owner is now one of the prime suspects in the slaughter that went on here last night. All that I have been told is that it is a Narcotics officer that is wanted for four other murders, one of which is the murder of a female officer from the Winchester police department. This is Sara Thomas for NBC News." The scene changed to the preparation for the beginning of the school year.
"Well that makes it easy for me to move around un-noticed, why didn't they just put my damn picture up there?" Corey snuggled up against her side and kissed her neck.
"Don't worry about it, we have Shaky as a witness and as soon as we get the warehouse set up, those fucking assholes will be sharing a jail cell for a long time. "What I can't figure out is how they got your wallet?"
"Easy, they didn't. One of those cops at the scene is lying." She pulled her wallet from her pocket and flipped it open to show her ID and Badge. "All he had to do was leak the word that he had found it and the reporters jumped." She kissed her lover's forehead and grinned. "You should know all about that stuff."
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Charley rented a non-descript van for their mission into the warehouse district that night, she had contacted a few friends who worked at a computer repair center in town and arranged to borrow some hardware. After they had the van packed, they headed into the newspaper so that Corey could get the equipment that she needed for her part in the set up. Busch, Mike and Benny raided the equipment room at the precinct, and took extra vests and other safety equipment in case their plan failed. All four women and the three men stood around the kitchen table looking at the floor plans that Charley was able to get from the contracting company she had worked.
"Here's where the door is for the underground garage, this here is the elevator to the first floor with the doors at each corner that lead to the outside. Now if we have cops at these doors after they get inside." She shrugged her shoulders at Hyper.
"OK, so we fix it so that they have to come in through the garage and meet me upstairs, once they're in, the downstairs gets locked down so they can't escape."
Mike leaned over Charley's shoulder and pointed to the upper level. "I'll have some guys at these points so if they try and come up through the building they get caught. No matter which way they go, we've got them."
"Good because I'll be up there with all that equipment and if it gets damaged I'm in deep shit." Corey looked to her lover with an opened eyed look. "What? You know how much that stuff costs?"
"Just like you to not worry about your own hide." Hyper kissed the top of her head and gave her a hug. "I've got some guys coming in from the FBI in Tyson's corner. They've been looking into Gillingham for a while now as well as the DEA who've been wondering about the lack of information our precinct has been turning in." She pointed to her Uncle and Benny. "I'll leave it up to you guys as to where you want them." She checked her watch and noticed the time. "Are we ready to get this on the road?"
@@@@@@@@@@
With the lights off on the van, Charley pulled it down the alley next to the warehouse and then through the door that Busch had opened for her. Once inside, they barred the door and went to work. With the two couples setting up the equipment in the second story area, Busch and the others started securing the premises for their visitors. Mack was amazed at her wife's knowledge of computer equipment and just followed along with what she needed done. They had drilled small holes I the floor to drop camera's and microphones down through and then set up two small golf ball sized objects near a side door that Hyper would use on the first floor. When asked what they were, Charley shrugged her shoulders and said "laser thingies." Hyper had helped Corey splice into a small satellite dish on the roof of the building, it would be used to get the live fed out to the news van down the street. When all was set, Busch handed out Kevlar vests to the women and placed riot shields around the areas they would be working at.
Hyper fastened the Velcro on her vest, pulled her hooded sweatshirt over it and then helped her lover with hers. She checked her Glocks that hung from double shoulder holsters and the hide-away she had at the center of her lower back. She stood there and tried to concentrate on all the sounds around her. Corey wrapped her arms around her lover and pressed their bodies together to the point of trying to meld them together. "Jo, promise me you won't try and be a hero."
"Corey I can't promise that but I'll promise to not get killed." She lifted Corey's chin with two fingers and slowly lowered her head and captured her lips for a deep kiss that spoke of her heart. The kiss broke when Charley cleared her voice and told Hyper that they were ready and only had a few minutes. Handing her a headset and small microphone, she helped her adjust them and then wrapped an arm around. "This is going to work; I have a gut feeling about all this." She kissed her sister in-laws cheek and walked away. "Three minutes Hyperactive and its show time." Hyper turned back to Corey and kissed her one last time. "I love you Corey and no matter what, stay with Mack." She gave her a small smile before following after Charley.
"I love you hedgehog and don't do anything stupid." Corey watched her lover turn around, give her a big smile, point to her chest and say "Me?"
@@@@@@@@@
Gillingham, the Chief and 4 cops stood scattered around the second floor of the warehouse waiting for Hyper. They had gotten there early just in case she was trying to set them up. "What in the Hell does she think she's doing?" Gillingham asked the Chief of police. "Does she think that with all the publicity she's gotten that we're just going to say 'Surprise, it's all a big joke?"
"I have no idea, all I know is that she called me and said she would meet us here tonight. I have no idea what's on her mind." He pulled his revolver from its holster, checked the rounds and put it back. "We hear her out and then take care of her; my boys will drop her body off in the Bloods territory so that it looks like it was revenge for what we did last night."
They turned when they heard a heavy door close and saw Hyper walking towards them; she stopped 20 foot away and grinned evilly at them.
"I see you're here early, good because I want to get this over with and go home to my lover."
Gillingham moved so that he was under the dim light coming through a window, looking at her he shook his head. "Why did you bring us here?"
"Ohh its simple you see." She crossed her arms over her chest and raised an eyebrow. "I know all about the things you've been doing around here for the last say…ten years. And I'm going to put an end to it tonight."
The Chief stepped closer to Gillingham. "You sound awful sure of yourself for a cop gone bad, two dozen murder counts against her and standing in a warehouse with six armed men. Five that are cops who will say that you tried to murder Mr. Gillingham and you were shot in the midst of a fire fight with police officers."
@@@@@@@
Corey watched her lover on the small monitor upstairs, what had her scared was the feral look on her lover's face and the stance she had taken in front of the men. She looked over her shoulder in the direction that Mack and Charley were working but could see them in the dark. She prayed that everyone was in place and they were able to pull this all off. Checking her equipment, she made sure that the fed was going through clear and went back to watching her lover.
Mack lay on the floor looking through one of the holes; she was checking to make sure that Charley's set up was working and that nothing went wrong. Looking up to Charley, she nodded her head before looking back through the hole.
@@@@@@@@@@@
"That's really interesting about me being some mass murderer and leaving my wallet behind. You see, when I saw the news this morning, I asked my lover if I had been sleep walking. When she looked at me as if I was crazy, I just knew it had to be an asshole cop like Cheasters there. Only he would be stupid enough to leave his wallet behind after committing a crime." She threw a worn black wallet across the floor, as it landed at Gillingham's feet; it fell open to show Cheasters ID and badge. "You left that at the bar the night you beat the shit out of Stevens. Bet you didn't know that huh?" She grinned at him. "And I dropped my wallet off with the prosecuting attorney this morning after I saw the news. Kind of hard for you to say you have it when you don't. So you see I hold all the cards now." She raised her hands out to the side and shrugged her shoulders. "What's it going to be, you turn yourselves over to me or we shot it out and see what happens?"
Corey was glued to the monitor, with one hand she used the controls and moved the cameras to catch everything below. She watched Gillingham wave his hand and the officer's open fire on Hyper. She was about to scream, when a hand covered her mouth and Mack whispered in her ear. "It's OK, she's not hurt." Mack ended up holding a struggling Corey on the floor with her own body. When the gunfire stopped, she whispered in her ear again to look at the monitor. There stood a laughing Hyper right where she had been before. "We'll explain later so just relax and enjoy the show." She released Corey and went back over to her wife.
@@@@@@@@@@@
"You guys really suck, no wonder there's so many criminals on the streets." She smacked her forehead. "Oohh that's right! You guy's are the criminals!"
"What the Hell is going on here Chief, shot that fucking bitch!" Gillingham pulled his pistol and emptied the clip on Hyper. The lights in the building blazed to life and Hyper vanished right before their eyes. The sound of semi automatic rifles brought their attention to the FBI and DEA officers standing just inside the doors. Hyper's voice came over a speaker and had the men looking for her.
"If I were you guys, I'd drop my weapons and assume the position because you are all under arrest." The sound of her hysterical laughter drifted through out the warehouse and then the sound of weapons hitting the floor.
@@@@@@@@
Corey jumped to her feet and ran to the other side of the building where Mack and Charley were. "WHERE IS SHE?" She stopped behind a cringing Charley and yelled in her ear. "I'm gonna break her legs and then YOURS!"
"HELP DWARF ATTACK!" She yelled and ran past Mack to where Hyper was walking out of the shadows. "Save me Hyperactive!" She ran behind Hyper and hid.
Corey was ready to beat the Hell out of everyone, she stomped over and slugged Hyper in her stomach and then jumped up and down cradling her injured hand. Hyper took her hand a placed soft kisses on the bruised knuckles and then pulled her pissed off lover into her arms.
"You're a dead woman Hypermnestra; I'm going to rip your arms…" Hyper stopped her ranting by kissing her until all Corey could do was sag against her and moan. The sound of laughter brought them apart and left a weak Corey leaning into Hyper.
Busch slapped Hyper on her back and grinned at her. "I can't believe it; we got those fuckers nailed to the wall! There's no way in Hell they can talk themselves out of it." Benny shook Hyper and Corey's hand and waved to the other two women.
"We had the senior FBI agent hidden in a dark corner just incase the broadcast didn't work. So we have an eyewitness to everything that went on down there. What I can't get over is that hologram thing."
"I'm a geeenius!" Charley punched a hand in the air and howled. "Love that movie Total Recall. She slipped into an Arnold voice and repeated one of his lines. "Sexy, sleazy and demure." She winked and wiggled her tongue at Mack. "That's my big Mack."
"You're gonna be a dead genius when I get a hold of you!" Corey growled. "Why didn't anyone tell me what you had planed?"
"Because baby, I wanted you to keep your attention on what was going on down there. If you knew that I wasn't in any danger the camera angles would have looked…staged. But the way you kept moving the cameras to catch everything it was perfect."
"And how do you know all this?" She jabbed Hyper in her stomach.
"Mack was walking back and forth most of the time; she saw what you were doing." She lowered her head and looked at Corey from beneath her lashes. "Sorry baby."
"You just wait til we get home." She wrapped her arms around her lover and refused to let go. "Scaring the shit out of me and you were up here the whole time hiding in the dark."
"Come on lets get out of here." Busch said and started helping the women take down all the equipment. Hyper pulled a long blade from her boot and cut all the plastic bands on the wires and started rolling them up while Corey packed everything in the hard cases. Corey knew she owed her friends big time for the use of their equipment and her reporter friend for his help. When everything was packed up, they carried every thing downstairs and headed out of the building. Corey and Mack walked in front with the large cases held in front of them, with the others taking up the rear with the heavier equipment. Corey stopped when she felt the hair on the back of her neck stand up, she pushed backwards in to Hyper and tried to push Mack to the side and out of the way.
"Corey what are you…" Hyper pushed Corey out of the way and pulled her Glocks but not before bullets tore through her sweatshirt. She fell back against Charley and took them to the ground. Busch and the others dropped to their knees and started firing towards where they thought the shots had come from. Mack dove over her sister's body while Corey struggled with the long knife in her lover's boot. Grabbing the knifes blade in her hand, she waited for the muzzle flash and threw the knife with every bit of energy she had in her. The shots went up into the air and then silence.
Corey crawled on her knees to her lover's side and lifted her head to rest in her lap, tears poured down her cheeks when no sound or even a twitch came from Hyper. "Help her Mack, please help her!" She cried out, as she held onto Hyper tighter. Mack ripped Hyper's sweatshirt up the middle and searched for blood, what she found were slugs imbedded in the Kevlar vest. Pulling the vest apart from the Velcro, she searched for entry wounds and found only the beginning of bruising. "They didn't get through." She rested her head on her sister's chest and heard a strong heartbeat, but no sound from her lungs. A slight blue tinge was coloring Hyper's lips and Mack knew that was a bad sign.
"Let me in there Mack!" Charley wailed and dropped over Hyper, she brought her hand back and slapped Hyper hard enough on her cheek to rattle her teeth.
"What are you doing?" Corey screamed out and tried to stop her.
"Smacking the shit out of her, that's what!" She slapped her again and heard Hyper take a deep ragged breath and start gasping for air. "See she just needed smacked around a little." She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and smiled up at Corey. "Good as new."
"Fucking…bitch." Came raggedly from Hyper's lips, her eyes blinked a few times and then settled on the golden eyes before her. "Who hit me?"
"That would be me ohhh great hypersuckyshot, can't hit the side of a warehouse for nothing."
"Maybe not but Corey pinned that fucker right through his throat." Uncle Mike laid a hand on her shoulder and winked. "Damndest thing I've ever seen."
"Who…was…it and why does my chest hurt?" Hyper tried to push herself up from the ground, but was held back by Corey.
"Another one of the bad cops, if there are more of them we'll find them."
"Mack cupped her sister's face and looked at the pink color of her lips. "One of the bullets must have hit your solar plexus and knocked the wind out of you. The other shots left some nasty bruising on you upper chest and you will go to the hospital to be checked out."
"Ohh nooo I'm…OOWW!" She tilted her head back to see murderous green eyes looking down at her. "Ohhh yes I am…in fact I think I'll see if they'll keep me for say a month or so."
@@@@@@@@
Once she was released from the hospital, Hyper dropped from exhaustion the second her head hit her pillow. Corey lay beside her and watched her sleep for hours; she wanted to make sure that she was not going anywhere. Hyper woke in the middle of the morning to find green eyes watching her, they lay side by side just gazing into each other's eyes and thanking the Gods that they were alive for another day. Then Corey proved to her that her body could be twisted into a pretzel and she would still be alive afterward. When she woke from her short nap, she saw Corey coming into the room with waffles and strawberry jelly covering her breasts. Hyper knew right then that it was going to be a very different breakfast in bed.
@@@@@@@@@@@@
Two weeks later Hyper locked herself in the bathroom and refused to let Corey or anyone else in. It was the night of the annual Policemen's Ball and if not for her refusing supper, she knew she would be hugging the porcelain Goddess. She looked in the mirror and swore she was a healthy gray color. "Don't you look like the image of health?" She gave herself a croaked grin and checked the medals across her breast once more before opening the door.
"Ohh my Gods!" Corey moaned and walked up to her lover and ran her hands down the blue dress uniform jacket. "Can we just stay home and play cop and hooker?" She leaned up, captured Hyper's lips in a deep lust filled kiss that left them both weak and panting.
Hyper looked down with dark half-lidded blue eyes and purred. "Once we get home, I'll let you play with my nightstick and handcuffs."
"You may not make it that far, remember we have a car picking us up." She adjusted Hyper's jacket and then took one last look in the mirror.
"You're telling me." She took in her lover's dove gray suit with off white silk shirt and knew that they wouldn't be covering her body for long. They had a lot to celebrate once they got home, Corey had won her Pulitzer, not for the article she had wrote for the paper but for the coverage, she had shot in the warehouse. The local news stations, among others were pounding on their door offering her jobs left and right. She hadn't decided if that's the career move she wanted to make or not. She told them that she would think about it and let them all know after her vacation. For now, she just wanted to think of her and Hyper and let the rest of the world go on without them for a while.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
All four women felt over whelmed in the sea of blue uniforms, the banquet room was jammed pack for the first time in many years. This night was special to all of them because of the efforts of the most unlikely combination of people. A long time problem with drug suppliers was stopped along with the solving of numerous murders. Hyper stepped through the door with Corey on her arm; her fellow officers parted the way for her and her small group. They walked to the front of the room where a small stage had been set up for the award ceremony. The new Chief of Police waved a hand at her and pointed to the stage. "Come up her Sgt. Crichton."
She looked down at a smiling Corey, placed her hand over hers where it rested on her arm and led them up to the stage. The room quieted as they stepped up to stand before the Chief. He turned to the speech podium and took four boxes from the stand.
"This is the first time that I have ever been to one of these things." The Chief said to the room of officers. "And just standing here fills me with so much emotion; I'm thankful and proud to wear the same uniform as this woman standing here." He opened one of the boxes and stared down at it. "In all the years that I have been on the police force, I have never seen this award presented to anyone, let alone two of them, but tonight that will be in the past. "For bravery and courage in the line of duty, I present the Medal of Valor to Sgt. Hypermnestra J. Crichton and Corey Deavers."
Corey looked at then chief and then to a smirking Hyper. "But I'm not…"
"You may not be a police officer Ms. Deavers, but you risked your life and saved not only my officers but two civilians. I don't think there's a cop in this room that would argue with you receiving this award." He handed both women the Medals and shook their hands. "We're not done yet up here, I have two more to give out to Sgt. Crichton and Ms. Deavers." He held out two boxes for everyone to see. "This is the Special Commendation award that is given out for an officer or civilian who performs a deed that makes a neighborhood safer for everyone. These two women deserve this and our undying gratitude for what they accomplished with the help of their family and friends. Finally, something that I know Sgt. Crichton was not expecting." He reached into his pocket and pulled out a new wallet. "This is something that is long over due if you ask me. May I present to Sgt. Crichton, one of our forces most decorated officers, the rank of Lieutenant." He opened the wallet and showed the gold badge to the crowd, taking her hand; he smiled and gave her a brief hug. "You make us all proud to wear a uniform. Now get over there and say something." She looked out at everyone and then to the podium.
"Aaah man do I have to?" She heard chuckles come from the other officers, shrugging her shoulders she stepped up to the microphone. "OK, I'm ready to make an ass of myself, I know that if it wasn't for the support and love of my friends and family I wouldn't be up here. The one person who made the biggest difference in my life, had me doing a foot race all over the warehouse district, drove me and Busch nuts on a stake-out and captured my heart is Corey Deavers." She turned to her lover and gave her a beautiful smile that lit up her ice blue eyes. "With out her in my life, I would have nothing." She stepped from behind the podium, dropped down to one knee in front of Corey and looked into tear filled green eyes. "Tonight in front of all these people I'm asking you Corey, will you marry me?" She lifted her hand and held out a diamond engagement ring, all Corey could do was nod her head and fall into Hyper's arms and cry.
"I can't believe she did that?" Charley said and wiped tears from her eyes. "Who knew she was so…mushy." She kissed Mack's neck and wiped the tears from her wife's cheeks. "Did you know she was going to propose?"
Mack wrapped an arm around her wife and snuggled into her side. "Nope, and she's gonna pay later for not telling me."
"We may not see them for a month or so once we leave here." They watched the two women kiss and knew that their vacation would be a very exhausting one. "What are we gonna get them for an engagement gift?"
Mack grinned evilly. "Ear-plugs!"
"Ear-plugs, why?"
"Not for them, for us!" She took Charley's hand and led her to the small stage. "Come on let's get them down from there before they get arrested for indecent exposure and obscene public affection."
The End
