CHAPTER TWO / BETA “I think it’s time …
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.

30/12/2008: In the news today: Excessive shelling in Gaza. Many deaths are counted as both sides count their losses. Fred Nile wants a ban on topless female bathers on Bondi Beach, Police Commisioner Andrew Scippione says that this would be difficult to police as so many individuals take part in this. As waters get warmer around Australian beaches more sightings of sharks are appearing. The family of the recent shark attack victim pleads for the offending shark not to be put down. In sport, the Sydney to Hobart race has resumed for another year. Accolades have been rewarded to the crew that saved the other ailing ship. Marcos Baghdadus is back in Brisbane quoted as saying that he “loves coming back to Australia”. The Australian cicket team lick their wounds after the massive loss to South Africa. In useless news socialite Paris Hilton hits Sydney shops and is reported to be paid $100, 000 as other reprorts will be that it will be in the hundreds of thoasands of dollars. She walked Bondi Beach for the predictable mob magnatised walk. Some chose to throw sand at the socialite. A sicophant asked her if it was “annoying”, the socialite muttered somthing. For a single appearence to a new year’s eve party in Sydney. She is here with her sister Whatshername. Many locals rush and scramble to get a glimse of the hotel chain heiress. Paris Hilton was reported to have said somthing but that doesn’t really matter. / Today I had my Muse, Ebony in the park. I got her a no frills no name brand of shiny leggings and an original t shirt. we took some really fantastic photos and life was good for this one last moment in 2008. There were no bombs, there were no blonde waste of spaces giving vaccuous comments. we didn’t give a shit who won the cricket and we saw the eels and fish get on with their lives in their own pond as we got on with our own today. We walked where Michael Hutchence did, we crossed paths with Henry Moore and the Channel Seven helicopter. There was an electricity about this place. Everyone was on holiday but there were quite a few not present who I assume were in reserve to go crazy for tomorrow’s new year’s eve celebrations. I told Ebony that this was the calm before the storm. It was only about 3pm and I made a premonition that this time tomorrow there would be absolutely no room to move let alone take some great photos and be left alone while do them. / What I think needs mentioning is that with this shoot the suprises really made the photos what they were and they took little to no effort in producing. These leggings were very affordable and the shine is liquid sex. The sad thing is that the retailer that I got these from have stopped making this style and texture. I was lucky to have bought two of every size as a sort of Noah’s Ark of leggings, I was buying these things as if they were going out of style. Then the shop stopped selling this particular style. The shirt is an original. At one point Ebony and I did a shoot infront of the shop: “Spotted Magpie” in Paddington earlier that day. On another pair of leggings I spent about $80 on a pair of leggings athat although they were blue didn’t have the impact that these affordable ones did. I bought an East German officer’s cap for Ebony to wear and although I gave it to her for helping me with my photos this earlier today. All this effort won’t be on display as I am yet to find a shot from this shoot that is worth showing you. All the visual effects couln’t save the shoot. The magic happened when Ebony and I ventured to the Domain then the AGNSW then THe Botanical Gardens. We did so many great shots that I think to be fair I will have to limit them to the best 10. I must have taken at the most 150 shots or more today. I deeply regret not showing you the earlier shoot but I may release a picture or two at a later date. / It was so hot and I must thank Ebony for being such a professional and mature Muse. I did more complaining and winging on the walk back. I decided to treat my muse to an impromtu Hikue that was in dedication to her: “Sydney Harbour on her shirt, Sydney Harbour in the backround, Sydney Harbour all around”. I think she smiled. I was so self exsorbed that I had to work tomorrow night, so did she. we are not famous artists. We could walk through a crowd and not get noticed. It wasn’t Beatle-mania, it never will. A chance that the $19.95 wig made the grade and it was great. The only musing my Muse had was that the bow that was sewed into the wig was making it look a bit naff. I suggested that it would be a welcome prop, so we accepted it. I spent about $30 on two pairs of sunglasses. The white ones cost $20. They made the best visuals. / A copy of this colour shirt has a painting I did of my other Muse, Dani. Ebony really wants to do a shoot with her. The shirt is an original prototype for one that I am selling here on Red Bubble. The other shirt Ebony wore today is another hannd painted design by myself that I sell only at the Paddington shop Spotted Magpie. Originally I was going to have the shoot’s location at Lavender Bay but that would have limited it to just Lavender Bay. At least with ttoday’s shoot most of the locations were at an arm’s grasp. If I were to have had the shoot at Lavender Bay it would have been a long train ride over the bridge, then a walk to the site location then do it all in reverse and this would all be too much of a hassle. I think I have milked the homage to Brett Whiteley that it’s all fromage now. I am aquiring my own style notwithstanding my own little appropriations here and there. On the way back, homeward bound I suggested to Ebony that we should take a squize inside theCircular Quay Ken Done shop. We did and it only lasted one short minute. He sold his t shirts for $39.95 and I sold mine (hand painted and totally original at Spotted Magpie) for $100. / These rubber gum-boots are Ebony’s. I thought that they would look great and they did! No troublesome heels yet we did take turns in lugging a giant bag of props from location to location. Lucky they had wheels. I took some great shots. sydney had a bridge and an opera house and I thought that I should show you. I did a few effects with the exposure in post production but not much with the colour, there was no need. I felt that there was no need to get my money’s worth of the other shoot. I was not happy with it and so I am only displaying what I think is the utmost best. Today was great. It was rare, I don’t usually go shopping and spend heaps on clothes I am not going to wear but Ebony looked great with them on. she was wearing my shirts that are now hers. The sun was pleasant to walk through, it was a haze to go home from. I had a dream of Ebony and I at some store. We were at a seaside cafe, it could have been a posh one in the Opera House, it was a dream so it could have been anywhere. I woke up to the international backpackers of the surrounding flats of the block I live in. Their loud voices full of dumb comment. This shoot is the only salvation fom this pathetic soundtrack that is going on outside. I am really pleased with today’s effort. It didn’t rain. It meant that alot of the locations could be safe to sit on a rock or roll in the grass and not be tainted by wet grass. simple pleasures that cost nothing that we all take for granted. Stuff we just all walk past or walk over and forget that this could make the day a dainty one to be enjoyed. / What makes these moments so special is that we don’t do this everyday. I hardley ever see Ebony as she is so busy with her work and her art, and her life and she lives so far away. I tend to plan my wardrobe for her to wear days, weeks in advance. I always like to make enough choices but not too many as this could make the post production process a mess as much as the shoot a conceptual mess. What to do with it all? I can’t get her to wear everything all at the same time., that would be ridiculous. What is needed is the right combination and the lighting and efects can come later but its the moment and the attitude that really make the photo. You either notice it or you don’t. The secret is that the Muse needs to enjoy it. she will be a mess of angst if the stage is not set right. I made sure she had plenty of water, I knew it was going to be a hot day and that the sun could wreck or ruin it if we wern’t careful. The one thing I overlooked was that fact that I didn’t apply sunscreen to Ebony or I. My arms were red the night after. Also an application of Aeroguard mozzie repelant would have gone down a treat too. / So as wars in Gaza get deaths of innocents trapped in the crossfire for each and every dollar spent on a useless entity in a socialite I have to ask, where is the “financial crisis”? Is it that the sky really isn’t falling? The media will tell you what they want you to think but the media’s job is to tell you the truth. It is up to you to decipher it from fiction. When alarmist reporting are saying that the new year employment in Australia will reach one million I wonder what use is Paris Hilton for? She surely doesn’t make us forget our own miserable lives as we just see her as a living insult to our lifestyle. Yet the populous eat it up. They can’t get enough. It is trash and it’s on most people’s menus. Pornography is still taboo but Paris Hilton, famous for being famous keeps getting famous for doing nothing.

For anyone who wants to know, it has been nearly two years now since I used a digital camera. Strange that. Apart from my medium format camera, for sixteen months I have been using a Large Format(4×5) camera – an Ebony RW45. (Google it) / A beautiful little timber view camera and ideal for carting around the city. Early starts, long solitary hours and unlimited inspiration. Urban landscape still inspires me and I continually seek out opportunities. I hope to start scanning a few negs soon to upload on RB. My current series ‘Netherworld’ will settle on about thirty to forty images from over 500 negatives if I can effectively discriminate them. Film is still providing what I need. Take care everyone. /
