Chuck
On the way to the Orient County Jail, I called Frank and then Jan. I told Jan about the deal with Mark. She really didn't know him, but reacted to my voice. She said she would alert her duty people. She asked if Frank was going to meet me. I told her, "Frank is meeting me out at the jail. It might take a little while, but we should be able to get him out of there in a couple of hours. Oh yeah, call our favorite prosecutor and see if he can get the judge to hold a quick arraignment. If we can get that done, we can use some budget to investigate this properly. Frank said you have jurisdiction, as the internet was used to download illegal material interstate. Sounds good to me. Call the prosecutor and see what he can do. Call me on my cell."
I met Frank at the jail and we were immediately stonewalled by the clerks, and were refused the opportunity to speak to the prisoner until he was processed. Frank became angry after about an hour and that's when I called the judge who had rescued me when I was put in jail before. The judge said, "Just tell them you are going to shut the jail down. Have a deputy come by the house and I'll give you an order to shut the place down. That should take care of the problem."
I was thanking the judge and remembered, "Judge would you mind holding an arraignment in an hour or so? As soon as I get this man out of this jail, I want to get him in some form of protective custody."
The judge said, "I owe you one, Chuck, bring your prisoner and the prosecutor to see me, and I'll take care of it in my study."
I called Jan to tell her where to bring the prosecutor. She said thanks as judges were always scary as far as she was concerned.
Frank was telling the clerk he was going to shut the jail down and the man with him, the Deputy Marshal, was the man that was going to do it. The clerk called the Sheriff and told him what was happening. You could hear the Sheriff yelling through the phone and you could see the clerk melt. About all he could say was "Yes Sir, yes Sir." He did tell the Sheriff he should call the arresting detectives as Frank was demanding all of the physical evidence be turned over to the Bureau immediately.
The clerk handed the phone to Frank with shaking hands, and pulled some forms from his counter drawer. I heard Frank say, "I'll have an agent and a deputy at the precinct within fifteen minutes. Every piece of evidence had better be there with the appropriate chain of custody. Make sure there are no holdups."
Mark was brought up to the counter in handcuffs and told to stand at a specific spot. Frank filled out a form and signed a couple of sheets of paper. We received Mark's personal property in a large envelope, but it didn't look as if it had anything in it.
Mark was handed his clothes and put into a small room to change from a jail jumpsuit. When he came out, Frank asked him, "Do we need to chain you up or will you be a model prisoner?"
Mark said, "I'm with you. I'll stick to you guys like flypaper."
As soon as we were outside, Sarah came up to us and looked at Mark, "Did they treat you all right? They didn't beat you or anything, did they?"
"No Ma'am. Everything was just happening really fast."
Sarah handed me something wrapped up in paper towels, "This is the glass that was spilled. You need to have this analyzed to find out what was in it besides wine. You can also get this Steven Bart guy's prints off it. I'd bet you have him in the system. He is just too slick and slimy to believe."
I gave Frank the glass and when we reached his car, he pulled an evidence bag out, wrote some information on the outside, then put the paper towel covered wine glass in it.
Sarah was holding up a small recorder, she said, "This has all of the conversation on it from the time we left Mark's car at Publix until I was following the detectives out here. There are a couple of things said by Mark's wife that are very interesting. The detectives kept telling her not to say anything else, as Mark had a witness, me. I know it's not admissible, but it might get some answers out of the detectives when you interview them."
I told Frank, "Let's get Mark over to the judge's house right away. Sarah, you can come along as a friend of the court if you want. Want to come?"
"Right with you, Chuck. I'll follow you two. Lead on."
It didn't take but fifteen minutes to get to the judge's home. There we met him in his office, where he did everything just as if it were in a courtroom. I even noted a recording device to record the proceedings. Mark told the judge "Not guilty" and the judge released him without bail. I requested Mark be held in protective custody and the judge went along with it. He filled out the appropriate form, signed it, and said, "Now go do what you guys are supposed to do. Find the bad guys."
The judge looked at Mark and said, "You Sir, have found some gold among your misfortune. Make sure you reward those that have helped you."
Mark's face reflected the relief he felt. He said, "I will, Your Honor, I will do my best."
Frank said he would meet us downtown and took off. Sarah said to Frank then Mark, "As soon as I know you're safe for the night, I'll go home too, but I need to make sure you're taken care of."
At the Federal building, downtown I had to check Mark in with the Bureau, then he was released to the Marshal's service as a witness. Sarah walked over to the hotel with us and then said goodbye at the elevator. I left Mark in the hands of the downstairs duty man and told Mark I would talk to him tomorrow, Saturday.
I let out a big sigh when I left there. That was too much like the night I was taken to the Orient jail. That was still a bad memory. On the way home, I called Steve to let him know Mark was in protective custody and comfortable. Steve thanked me for letting him know and said he hoped we found some answers.
At home, I realized this was Friday night, so the five were probably home or at Brandy's folks' house. Tina had some kind of "Hey, are you almost a doctor" function and Lisa was flying somewhere. I stuck a steak in the microwave to defrost and poked around the leftovers to find some broccoli that wasn't moldy. I pulled some lettuce apart for a salad and made myself a stiff one. Just a couple of swallows had me settling down. I shouldn't let a place like that jail upset me so much, but that had been a close one.
Just about the time I was going to fire up the grill, Lena came out from the hallway, rubbing her eyes. She said, "Oh goody, food. You have to teach me how to thaw stuff out in the microwave. Mom taught me to cook but we never have anything frozen except turkey on Thanksgiving. Food doesn't last that long at our house."
Startled, I asked, "I thought you were on your way to see your folks down home?"
Lena answered, "I'm going in the morning. My sister has some kind of function the family is attending tonight. I'll just go early tomorrow."
I pulled another steak from the freezer and began thawing it. There was sufficient broccoli, but we needed something to go with it, so I made some instant rice and heated up some mushroom pieces. I would sauté those and mix them and the broccoli into the rice. That would give some bulk for the giant little girl.
She wanted a salad and some wine that was chilled in the fridge. She said, "I don't handle booze very well, so I stick to wine and an occasional beer. I'm really trying to stay on the slim side, so I have to watch what I eat and drink."
We ate, devouring our meal. Lena said, "I talked to Mom earlier and she really wants me to come down tomorrow. I'll stay down there tomorrow night, so don't worry about me. I know what she's going to do, too. She'll be trying to feed me every twenty minutes the whole time. I hope she recognizes that I look good without the extra weight. I'm exercising every day and I am strong, just not bulked up like the rest of the women in my family."
I watched some TV in the family room and caught the news at eleven. It was unbelievable how many people were milling around when Mark was taken out of the house. The one detective had a shit eating grin on his face. I think we need to talk to him.
My cell phone rang, "Johnson."
Brandy said, "Oh goody, you're home. Tiani and I will be there in a minute. Can you make us one of those Mojitos that taste so good? We can jump in the hot tub too. That would be perfect."
I made two drinks for the girls and a scotch for me. Just to be ready, I went into the bedroom and stripped, putting on a pair of shorts and T-shirt along with my peg. I was much more comfortable.
The two came in the house and gave me some kisses and hugs. They were always so happy to see me. These two made the five girls a reality. Brandy was even acting a hell of lot more mature than she had been. I think my trip with Steve was when she changed. Since then, she had been very attentive and acted the part of a devoted friend or lover, or whatever they were going to be.
I just love little Tiani. She is just a tiny pixie. Ninety percent of the time, she has a shit eating grin on her face that makes you think she's up to something. She isn't, but I think she wants to be. Her attention to me was sometimes over the top but she tempers that with how much she demonstrates her love for her four friends.
When we slid into the hot tub water tonight, Tiani snuggled up to me on one side, while Brandy did the same on the other. Brandy was saying, "Mom and Dad both say hi. The brats asked when you're coming over again. They want to see you play your guitar for them or play our piano. Mom plays but she says she doesn't play anything modern. She mostly plays some classical pieces or church hymns that she enjoys, and a few seventies songs that she sings along with. She'll love the way you sing all of those Ray Charles ballads. You sing so easily, kind of like that Willie guy. You know, the country music guy, Willie Nelson."
I laughed, "I wish. Willie Nelson has made a fortune with his gentle delivery. The one thing about doing his stuff is that it's all easy to learn and you can do all of your own accompaniment."
Tiani was quiet and said, "I think it's time you met my family. Do you want them to come here, our house, or would you go to my folks' place? If we go there, my older brothers will be more likely to come over to meet you. I have one sister that lives away from home and one younger that is still there. What do you think? Are you up for meeting all of my family?"
I didn't hesitate and said, "Set it up, I'd love to meet them. I'm going to probably be busy tomorrow helping the Bureau. If it's just like for dinner Sunday, I could probably do that. If you want a whole day, let's do it next weekend."
"Sunday dinner would be good," Tiani said. "Would you go to church with them and me like you do Brandy's folks?"
"Sure, I enjoy going to a lot of different churches. It's like the military. The services are non-denominational, except for the Catholic services, and even their priests give non-denominational services out in the field. It always makes me feel good to go to church and be surrounded by people who feel the same. There's a kind of energy there that makes life better."
Brandy asked, "Can the rest of us come along or would this be a private thing for just Chuck?"
"All of us should go so they know we are a package. I'm sure everyone would think Chuck and I were a couple if we were by ourselves, but if we all go, they'll know the truth. I think it's important for them to know we are a group. You've been home with me lots of times, Brandy. You know how they are. They like all you girls, but they are still wary of me hanging around with a bunch of white girls. It'll be that much harder for them with Chuck. I want them to know that we five girls chose Chuck and we are planning a long term relationship."
"Okay, girls, I've been in the tub long enough. Let's dry off and snuggle in bed. I want to feel you both against me."
In just a few minutes we were dry, the house locked up, and the three of us snuggled in bed. Tiani didn't last very long snuggled on a shoulder. In just a few wiggles, she was laying on me moving her center slowly over my awakening ego. She giggled and leaned over to kiss Brandy. She said, "I'm getting him ready, you want some of this when I'm done with him?"
Brandy looked at me with smoky eyes and said, "Definitely, I think I want some of both of you." She kissed me sexily, while taking hold of me and fitting me into Tiani. Ever so slowly, Tiani slid back and forth until I was completely in her. As she groaned and shivered, she would almost pull off me to kiss me then slide back down to completely capture me. The tiny girl can handle me easily and seems to enjoy having me as deep as I can get. She was soon on short, fast, hard strokes that had her crying out, gushing around our connection, making me want to join her in orgasm.
The pixie was pushed up on her hands, using her hips to pound me as she came continuously, drawing my potion from me. As I began coming, Tiani shivered and shook. She whispered, "When it's time, I want to get pregnant just like that. I want all of you in me and I want to pull everything inside of you into me."
As Tiani collapsed on me, kissing my chest, hugging me, and still moving her hips stimulating our now gooey, sloppy connection, she said, "Now I'm ready to send you to the moon, Brandy. Taste Chuck and me together and let me make you ready for him."
The two girls rolled from me, with them reversed. Brandy was buried between Tiani's legs awhile before raising up and leaning over to suck me into her mouth. Just watching the two had me up again, but Brandy's attention made me all the more ready.
In minutes, Brandy was coming from Tiani's ministrations, but she pulled away and lay on her back, begging, "Do it now, fill me, make love to me, Chuck, come inside me and let me feel all of you."
There was no going slow with Brandy tonight. She was worked up enough to have her hips in high gear from the first stroke. She had her legs wrapped around mine with her hands squeezing the cheeks of my butt, moaning continuously as we thrashed together. Brandy was beating me to orgasm and was coming hard, but then my insides melted and blasted into her. As we continued until I was empty, Brandy demanded my lips, kissing while we completed our coupling.
Brandy stayed wrapped around me and rolled me to our sides. She said, "So good, exactly what I needed. When I have you both, it's perfect. The only thing better is when I have all of us together. Oh, Chuck, I know we are all yours. I love you, Baby, and I know all of us love you the same."
Tiani snuggled into my back and said, "I guess I won't describe to Mom how we enjoy making love to our toy. She'd probably enjoy hearing about it, but she might let it slip to dad and he might not enjoy it the same way."
Ever so slowly, Brandy and I separated until the two girls' heads were each on a shoulder. Their breathing told me they were both sleeping as I lay there, thinking of these two, along with the three not with us. The thought of these five and my other two strange creatures had a smile on my face as I went to sleep with them.
