CHAPTER TWO
BETA

“I think it’s time to pull you out Tarvia”, I think he’s beginning to suspect, and we don’t want to blow your cover. He’s clean so far, but you have to be very careful serial killers are clever. Its way to dangerous! A stern voice said. You’re jealous she replied. “I told you what we had was just a fling, nothing more, nothing less” Tarvia answered. I’m just worried about you he replied. You’ve become too involved in this investigation; it was compromised the minute you made it personal! Tom said. It’s never personal! It’s always business you of all people should know that! She answered. He doesn’t even know my name, which idiot came up with Keisha anyway, it’s so damn ghetto I want to cry Tarvia said in a sarcastic manner. Tom stop worrying I’ve got it all under control, and we’ve got two agents watching his every move. As long as I stay two steps in front of him at all times everything will be fine! He’ll never figure out I’m with the FBI answered Tarvia. Be careful, and watch your back Tarvia replied Tom we’re still looking to connect him with the murders in Baltimore. He sighed and hung up the phone. Now Tom Dampier is just your average nerd with a sweet heart. He’s never really had a good woman or great sex before me of course. When it comes to thinking he’s a pure genius, but in the bed a straight zero. We studied at the academy together, and hung out a lot after that. My biggest problem is I never should have slept with him, but hell I was horny whets a girl to do. Now he’s just another pussy whipped white boy crying the blues. Don’t get me wrong I love him dearly as friends were inseparable, and he has saved my ass on the job a couple of times too! Tom rose real fast in the ranks of the bureau, some people say too fast. It’s always been racial problems in the ranks anyway, and there’s no use holding it against him. Now he’s my boss in charge of catching the next serial nut case on the loose. It’s strange, but women who come in contact with Keith usually end up dead like his secretary Crystal. Yet! He seems to be just a sweet gentleman who loves his job. Despite a few drunk in public charges truthfully he’s been a perfect angel, who happens to be great in bed. We tried to link him to several murders to no avail, but he’s always in vicinity, so we keep a close watch anyway. Ladies if he has one flaw it’s his cheating ways. He couldn’t keep his shit in his pants for just a couple of hours. He had to sleep with that bitch in Hiroshima! Now I know it’s not personal, but I don’t know who that bitch has been screwing, and HIV ain’t a joke. A sister is on some serious get back time right about now, and the brother has to pay!!! He’s arriving at Reagan national airport, and the idiot doesn’t even know I watch is every move. I’m going to check up on this cheating bastard! Tarvia picks up the phone, and Keith answers. Hey baby! How are you feeling? Have you made it home yet? She asked in a sarcastic way. I’m just getting off the plane as we speak Keith replied. No shit Tarvia thought to herself. I missed you she said. I’ve missed you too! Keith said. The lying bastard how could he miss me when he has the taste of sweet punani still on his breath. I had to keep my composure, but deep down inside my feelings was hurt. I’ll see you later baby, I’m still working on a few briefs, maybe we can get together later on tonight I cried. No! I’m exhausted he blurted out quickly. That’s okay I’ll see you tomorrow maybe! You get some rest okay I said while holding my tongue. I wanted to jump through the phone, and choke the shit out of him, but I’ll save that for another time. Meanwhile we were checking out a Paula Jackson, The little whore who got her freak on with Keith in Hiroshima. No cause for real concern there just another reporter out to do a story. Married, three children, and an alcoholic husband. No wonder she screwed my man! Did I say my man? I must be tripping! Maybe it is getting a little too personal, but damn! It’s so damn good! I should just creep up on his ass tonight, and scare him a little bit. I know he’s feeling guilty at least I hope he is. Damn! Tom might be right maybe I’m falling in love with him. Girl get a grip, stop tripping I said to myself. I’ve never been in this deep before, and I can’t take any chances on blowing my cover. I picked up the phone, and called Tom. I know you care about me I said, and I’ve been thinking you’re right maybe I should pull out now. I might be in too deep, and a little too involved when I shouldn’t be. Well wake up! And smell the coffee he replied. There’s no way I can pull you out now he replied. Listen to what I have to say this will definitely open your eyes, because he’s on the move. He said he was heading home right! Well unless he lives in B-more he lied, and check this out our guys have lost him around the harbor. You lost him! Tarvia screamed. Don’t worry you placed that tracking device right Tom asked? Tarvia couldn’t say a word she had completely forgotten through all the chaos, and lovemaking in Japan. Oh my god! I completely forgot about it Tom she said. That obvious Tarvia since I’ve trying to find him for a half an hour now. I’m so sorry Tom! She said. Now how in hell did you forget that? Ah! Let me guess another booty call he replied. Damn it Tarvia if I didn’t know better I’d start to believe you’re slipping up on the job. What the hell do you mean by that she yelled? Exactly what I said Tarvia, we’ve got a serial killer on the loose, and you’re playing dumb Tom screamed back. If a body pops up tomorrow you’ll probably be without a job he yelled. Hold up! Wait a damn minute she replied. Let me call his cell phone, and let me find out where he is. Tarvia dials rapidly, and the phone rings suddenly Keith answers. Hello Keith speaking he replied. Where are you? and don’t lie to me she screams. Hold up! What the hell is your problem asked Keith. I’m at your door ringing the bell, and there’s no answer that’s my damn problem! Tarvia says pretending to be upset. I guess you called yourself checking up on me Keith laughed. Oh! Its funny right said Tarvia. Look Keisha I’m sorry I’m not there, but a friend of mine is sick, and he needed my help said Keith. I had to make a quick trip to B-more by the harbor, and sometimes duty calls said Keith. Well I wish you were here taking care of me Tarvia said in a sad tone faking all the way. Keisha I’ll be back in a couple of hours baby just take the key from under the plant on the left says Keith. Well I hope it duty calling, and not booty calling she said. Look there you go again with the petty jealousy he said. I’ll be home soon he replied. You know I love you said Keith. What plant is again asked Tarvia. The one on the first step Keisha! Oh! I found it she said lying through her teeth. I’ll be waiting for you, and I’m sorry I got mad at you baby she replied. It’s ok I’m going to the store, and plus I have to get Mike’s medicine; I’ll be there after we talk a bit about old times okay. OK replied Tarvia in a sexy voice, and then she hangs up the phone. Did you hear that Tom she asked? Yeah I heard it were checking stores around the harbor now he replied. I want that tracer in place by tomorrow morning Tarvia. Do you hear me Tarvia? Yes Tom I’m on point, and I won’t let it happen again she answered. I will call you if it doesn’t check out, and I want details, addresses, phone numbers, the whole nine yards, you hear me? I’m on the job focused, and ready to go she answered. Tom just slammed the phone down, and disappeared. I prepared an overnight bag, and went over Keith’s’ house, it was about a three hour wait before he arrived. Suddenly I heard the door open. I thought I must be crazy waiting for a possible serial killer with open arms. I was so glad to see him I rushed right into his waiting arms. Then I panicked, and my imagination ran wild. Oh my god! There’s blood on your jacket I replied. Are you hurt baby I asked? No he replied I just cut myself changing a tire he said. That’s a lot of blood baby! Come here and let me fix you up replied Tarvia. Its okay I wrapped it up, and it’s no big deal Keisha said Keith. I’m going to take a shower, and wash this dirt off me, you can join me if you want to he replied. I couldn’t say no but; I had to see if there was any evidence of a crime. I’ll join you in a minute dear I didn’t come all the way for nothing I said while steadily collecting blood samples from the wrappings. When I joined him in the shower it appeared to be just what he said a small cut, but I had to see just in case. It was business as usual, but this time he didn’t seem interested, so I just let him get his nut, and I fell asleep. I woke up early, and placed the tracer in his wallet. It’s amazing what technology can come up with today just a small microchip in a business card was all we needed. I had the bloodstained wrappings, and the information Tom wanted. I would have it sent to the crime lab in Alexandria Virginia. There they would determine with there was more than one blood type. Keith went to work like nothing was wrong, and Tom did find him at a pharmacy. That took a great deal of stress off of me, but the DNA had not been processed, that would tell the whole story. We zeroed in on Keith’s friend Mike’s place of residence, and amazingly it was a boathouse in a small dock of the harbor. After investigation we found out that they were old college buddies, and that he was battling leukemia. Agents retrieved information from all sources available, and turned up absolutely nothing. Several days went by, and finally the DNA results were back, and Tom briefed the staff on the findings, and they were startling to say the least. It seemed as if another piece of the puzzle was unfolding. DNA revealed not one, but two different blood types, one belonged to Keith the other to be determined.
