It had started simply enough. "I need some help with some pictures." How many times a week did they make statements like that at the lab. How often did they ask each other for help with evidence, with procedure, with recreations? You never knew when you were going to find yourself freezing to the bone as you watched a pig in a blanket. Not a sausage in a...
Everything had gone wrong. The flight was delayed and as a result, I missed my next connection. Delta was very apologetic but they had no other flights leaving that evening so I was stuck in Atlanta, Georgia for the next twenty-four hours. Delta arranged for a hotel room at their expense at the airport hotel and I immediately got settled in and called my lov...
Hello and welcome to my readers. Thank you for the votes, comments and e-mails on my previous stories. As the poet Robert burns once wrote, "The best laid plans oft go astray" as Harry Hopkins is about to learn in this little tale. Happy Valentine's Day everyone. * "Happy Valentine's Day, my ass," Harry Hopkins muttered, knotting his tie. In a few more hou...
Please excuse the delay in posting these last segments of A Cautious Man. As I have explained, there were some issues with chapter numbering and, according to some readers, plot! Darn, just when I thought I was getting the hang of this gig. As always, I am grateful to ErikThread for his editing skills. Any errors or omissions are mine. * Chapter 17: As t...
Pelaam© July 2009 This was a request by Cassie * Jason looked over the rim of his cocktail glass to study his companion. Nick was doing a good job at pretending to look relaxed, but as a long-time friend, Jason could see the tale-tale signs: the finger tapping a tattoo to a beat only Nick could hear, lips pursed just a little too tightly and tiny lines ar...
If you have the feeling you've read this before, you have. I inadvertently mis-numbered this chapter and having done that, was refused posting of the final two sections. My apologies for busting up the continuity. * Chapter 14 When Marion and Bill vacated the apartment, Bill had given it to Sam Carstairs. He had been living alone and spent almost every ho...
Chapter Seven: Fighting the system A shiver of horror washed through me as I turned back to Gretchen. Her right hand was smeared with blood and she was as pale as a ghost. My first thought was personal: how the hell do I get myself mixed into these unbelievable situations? I shoved that thought away. There would be time for personal thoughts later, but righ...
It was Saturday morning, Kyle, a friend from work, and I was finishing a round of golf. Pulling my ball out of the 17th hole, the conversation turned to sex. He started telling me about all the things he and his wife have done. He ended by saying they often have anal sex and his wife enjoys it. Knowing his wife, Kathy, I found it hard to believe. Kathy is 4...
Sex is out, violence is in. It's amazing, in America you can see a severed head in a PG-13 movie... but you can't see a woman's breasts without the movie being Rated-R. So that means that a severed head is less severely affecting to young minds than a woman's body? Horror movies are all the rage... people getting their heads chopped off, nails pulled, thei...
Not a lot of sex but I hope you enjoy the story. A big thank you to LadyCibelle and Techsan for editing my story. * I'm not sure where to begin. I'm a CSI agent and thought I'd tell you about one of my cases. For those who don't know; CSI stands for Crime Scene Investigations. Our agents are usually the second people on the scene. We're right after the pol...
