Time is Money (6 page)

The second officer fired off six shots in a rapid succession. One of the bullets managed to hit the back tire of Randy’s car. The second officer watched as the suspect’s vehicle spun out of control and then finally crash into a light pole.

The crash left blood leaking from Randy’s head. The impact from the collision caused his face to violently bounce off the steering wheel. Randy opened his door and was about to try and make a run for it, but thought otherwise when several cop cars surrounded his car with guns trained on him. Having no other choice, Randy dropped his weapon and surrendered.

It Takes Two

tone stepped a foot out of his building and spotted Dana’s cocaine-white
Benz
coupe sitting curb side. He quickly walked over and slid in the passenger seat. Instantly the butter-soft leather massaged his back, making him feel right at home. “Nice to see you again,” he said and then leaned over and kissed Dana on the cheek.

“Likewise,” Dana smiled and pulled out into traffic. After the rough day that she and her crew had, seeing Stone’s face was like a breath of fresh air and she welcomed it with open arms. “So how was your day?”

“Rough,” Stone admitted. “And honestly I don’t really want to talk about work.”

“Long day, huh?” Dana said placing her hand on Stone’s thigh. “Don’t worry, after tonight work will be the last thing on your mind.”

“How was your day?”

“My day was pretty rough too,” Dana answered. “But it just got better,” she said flashing a sexy smile. When Dana was in Stone’s presence, she felt like nothing else mattered or even existed.

The
Benz
pulled up in front of a fancy restaurant. Dana stepped out dressed in a tight fitting red dress with a high split on both sides. Her hair was in a high neat bun and a pair of diamond chandelier looking earrings hung from her lobes. On her feet, she wore a pair of expensive red pumps. She handed her keys to the valet parking attendant who stood out front.

“Scratch my car and I’m going to scratch your ass!” Dana said seriously, and then held out her arm. Stone intertwined his arm in hers as the two entered the restaurant. Stone stepped foot in the restaurant and immediately felt out of place. He looked around and saw several rich, white men dressed in tuxedos and expensive looking tailored suits. He looked down at his outfit and felt a little embarrassed. He had on a pair of soft bottom shoes, a pair of blue jeans, a collared shirt, and a dark colored blazer. Dana had told him to put on something nice because they were going to a nice restaurant, but he had no clue that they would be coming to such an exquisite establishment.

“Your name please?” the hostess asked politely.

“Wilford.”

The hostess searched her book until she came across Dana’s name. “Right this way,” she smiled and led them through the restaurant over towards their table.

Stone felt the eyes of all the rich couples in the restaurant assaulting him as him and Dana walked past. Some even gave him and Dana dirty looks, but none were brave enough to say anything. The hostess led Dana and Stone over to a booth in the cut. She handed them both a menu and said, “Your waitress will be with you shortly,” then turned and walked away.

The lights in the restaurant were dim and soft music played from the speakers at a low level, making the atmosphere feel even more romantic.

“So what do you think?” Dana flashed a bright smile.

“This place is magnificent,” Stone replied. “But honestly I ain’t even gonna front. I can’t afford to take you to a place like this.”

“You don’t have to pay for anything tonight. I got it. All I need you to do is enjoy yourself and have a good time,” Dana smiled. “There is nothing wrong with a woman treating her man from time to time.”

“Keep treating me like this and I might get spoiled.”

“Listen,” Dana said seriously. “I don’t want you worrying about money while you with me. I make more than enough money to take care of the both of us.”

“It’s just the man inside of me that wants to pay.”

“The amount of money you have or make doesn’t make you a man,” Dana told him. “Now keep quiet and let me take care of my baby.”

“Oh, I’m your baby now?”

“You think I would have given you all my goodies if you weren’t,” Dana seductively licked her lips.

After the two ordered their food, Stone sipped on his glass of red wine and admired Dana’s beauty for a moment. It was rare to find a woman now days with brains and beauty. Stone tried to find something wrong with Dana, but came up empty. In his eyes, she was the perfect woman and the perfect distraction from work.

“What you over there thinking about?” Dana asked, snapping Stone out of his thoughts.

“You,” Stone answered. “It’s crazy when the person you been looking for all of your life is sitting directly across from you and you can actually touch her.”

“And how are you so sure that I’m that girl?” Dana asked with a raised brow. “We haven’t even known each other that long.”

“When it’s sitting in front of you, trust me, you know.”

“What happens if you meet somebody better tomorrow?”

“Not happening,” Stone said confidently and then took another sip of his wine. “Thank you again for taking me to such a nice restaurant.”

“Boy hush,” Dana said waving him off. “How would you feel about meeting my brother?” She came right out with it.

“I don’t see that being a problem.”

“He’s supposed to be having this big party in a few weeks,” Dana explained. “And I would like for you to meet him.”

“What’s the special occasion?” Stone asked.

“He’s moving to Hawaii,” Dana paused to take a sip of her wine. “My brother and I are really close and I think he’s expecting me to go to Hawaii with him,” she explained. “I think I’m going to tell him at the party that I won’t be accompanying him.”

“Do you want to go?” Stone asked. He really liked Dana, but if she really wanted to go to Hawaii with her brother, he wasn’t about to stop her.

“Honestly?” Dana paused again. “Honestly I want to be with you and wherever you are,” she looked Stone in his eyes. “A lot of people may think I’m moving too fast, but I just know what I want and what I want is you.”

Her words caught Stone off guard. Truthfully, he felt the exact same way, but just didn’t have the courage or the heart to say it. He leaned over the table and gave Dana a slow long drawn out kiss. “I would love to meet your brother at the party.”

“Thank you so much,” Dana smiled brightly. She knew that more than likely Ghost wouldn’t approve of her and Stone’s relationship, but she could tell by just looking in Stone’s eyes that he had her back and would back her up and hold her down. Under the table, Dana removed her shoe, placed her foot directly on Stone’s crotch, and began massaging his package with her foot. “I’m really not that hungry after all. Let’s get out of here. I got a few things I want to do to you,” she said in a sexually charged tone.

“I thought you would never ask,” Stone smiled.

Dana paid the bill and left a hefty tip on the table and just like that, they were gone.

Stone and Dana barely even made their way through the front door of Dana’s baby mansion before their hands were all over each other. They kissed like newlyweds as they moved throughout the house removing each other’s clothes. Stone looked at Dana standing there looking beautiful in nothing but a black laced thong and her red pumps and couldn’t resist any longer. He walked over, ripped Dana’s thong off like a savage, dropped down to his knees, and began kissing her thick thighs as if his life depended on it. Stone surprised Dana with his strength as he picked her up, flipped her upside down, put her legs around his neck, held her by her waist, and brought her dampness to his tongue. Stone gripped Dana while her moans rose and her hair dropped out of the neat bun and covered his toes. One by one, her high heels dropped from her feet. Dana grabbed Stone’s dick and began to jerk it, while he ate her out. She took him deep inside her mouth, did that while he put his tongue inside her as deep as he could.

Stone’s tongue made circles as he licked on her clit. He licked figure eights and gave her the sweetest torture. Dana’s head moved from side to side, jerked, and moaned as if the devil inside her was fighting for freedom.

“Oh my God! Put me down!” Dana begged. “I can’t take it no more!”

Stone positioned Dana back right side up and carried her over to the counter. He gently sat Dana on the counter and entered her slowly as the two shared a long kiss.

“Fuck me Stone!” Dana growled in his ear. “Fuck me!” She squeezed Stone’s ass forcing him to fuck her, forcing him to thrust even harder. She bit her bottom lip and watched Stone’s tool move in and out of her warmth at a steady pace. “Ahh, ahhh, ahhh!” she moaned loudly. Dana threw her head back, closed her eyes tight, opened her mouth wide, and moved her head side to side, in pain and in pleasure. She was in heaven, but she was sweating as if she were in hell’s kitchen.

Stone wrapped his hand around Dana’s throat, as he plowed in and out of her sopping wet insides like a mad man.

“Stone! Stone! Oh my God, Stone! Shit!” Dana’s legs trembled and then her entire body did the same.

Stone let out a strong roar as he shot his load and erupted inside of Dana.

“Oh shit!” Stone said out of breath as he walked over to the couch and flopped down lazily. Sex with Dana was an amazing experience, an experience he could see himself getting used to. Dana was beginning to make him nervous. He just couldn’t find anything wrong with her. While Stone was deep in his thoughts, Dana disappeared upstairs.

Dana returned downstairs with a soapy washcloth in her hands. She cleaned Stone up so gently making sure not to miss a spot.

“Why are you so good to me?”

“You deserve the best and that’s what I’m going to give you,” Dana leaned forward and kissed Stone on the lips.

Stone was getting ready to respond, when he heard his cell phone ring. He looked down at his phone and saw that it was Captain Fisher. “Hold on baby, I have to take this,” he said as he got up and walked out of ear shot so Dana couldn’t hear his conversation. “Hey Captain,” he answered.

“Get down to the station now. We have one of the gunmen from the bank robberies in custody!” Captain Fisher ended the call.

Stone walked back into the sitting room and took a minute to take in Dana’s naked beauty for a moment. She was a beautiful woman and Stone considered himself lucky to have her in his life. “Baby I have to run out for a minute.”

“Will you be coming back?” Dana asked, putting on her sad puppy face.

“It may be real late by the time I get done baby.”

Dana got up and walked over to the counter where her purse rested. She reached down in her purse, removed her house key off the ring of keys, and handed it Stone. “I don’t care how late it is, just come back.” She grabbed the back of Stone’s head and gave him a sloppy tongue kiss.

Stone looked down at the key in his hand and smiled. “Thanks baby I’ll be back; gotta go,” he said then disappeared out the door.

Investigation

S
tone stepped foot in the precinct and noticed that it was full of commotion as usual. He was expecting to see cameras and reporters all over the place, but to his surprise, not one reporter or cameraman was present.

“Stone!” Captain Fisher called him over. “So glad you could finally join us,” he said in a sarcastic tone of voice. “We got one of the bank robbers right in that room over there,” Captain Fisher nodded towards a room down the hall. “We’ve kept this on the hush because I think you can make him talk. If he talks, we can bring down the entire organization.” He cracked a smile. “If we would have announced his arrest to the world, the rest of his crew would have fled in fear that he had talked.”

“So what do you need me to do?” Stone asked. He still had a little buzz from the wine that he and Dana had consumed earlier.

“I need you to go in there and make him talk,” Captain Fisher stated plainly.

“I’m on it,” Stone headed down the hall, but paused when he reached the door. He needed a second to gather his thoughts and gather his game plan together. He took a deep breath then entered the room. From the first glance at Randy, he didn’t look like a bank robber. In fact, he looked more like a college student then a bank robber, but Stone had learned a long time ago not to judge a book by its cover.

“What’s poppin?” Stone pulled a chair up to the table and sat down. “My man, check this out,” he began. “I’mma keep it tall with you. You done got yourself in a fucked up situation,” he paused to take in Randy’s reaction. “We know that you are one of the bank robbers and now on top of that you shot a cop.” Stone shook his head sadly. “I can help you, but I’m going to need you to help me.”

Randy chuckled. “Help you how? I’m sure my picture is all over the news by now.”

“No one knows about your arrest,” Stone told him. “These are your two options. One you can tell me who your buddies are that helped you rob all these banks and walk away clean or two you cannot tell me anything and spend the rest of your life in jail. The choice is yours.”
