Part 1 - Prologue
Thursday, April 6th. I was still in the Hospital after my back surgery, but was making strong progress. It was possible that I would be going home over the weekend. After all, I could lie in bed at home about as easily as I could recline in a hospital bed, the food would be much better at home (even Bowser's food, the stuff not from Carole's plate, looked good compared to what they were serving in the Hospital), and I would have the sexiest doctor in the world (yes, I'm biased) looking after me.
The only negative was the sex. The night before, I'd gotten an exceptionally good blowjob from the beautiful black Nurse Jones. Her full lips sliding up and down my throbbing, iron-hard shaft proved that the surgery had been very successful in maintaining my ability to get an erection. The pleasure rocketing through my loins and lower body offset the pain in the area of the surgery. And the intense release of my climax when I ejaculated my pent-up semen into Nurse Jones's hungrily sucking mouth was incredible...

"Okay," said Cindy Ross at a meeting of the MCD Detectives in the MCD room, "we are beginning a new program, tradition, or what have you: each of you will take one week a month and work on a cold case. Unless something really big comes up, that'll be your primary case for that week. The idea is for you to sharpen your Detective skills on old cases without a lot of pressure on you to solve them. If you
do
solve one, great; but the idea is to use your skills and see what your imaginations come up with."
In the room were Teddy Parker, Joanne Warner, Theo Washington, and Jerome Davis. Cindy could see varying degrees of enthusiasm in their eyes: Joanne and Jerome seemed excited, while Teddy and Theo were less convinced.
Cindy continued: "Each of you can find a cold case, then let me know its the one you're working on. You'll start on a Monday and work through Friday, and don't try to get overtime unless you find a hot scent. On Friday, you'll put it aside until your next cold case week, unless you get on a hot scent, whereupon we'll decide how to proceed."
Everyone nodded. "Okay, if there are no questions," Cindy said, "who wants to go first?"
"I do." said Joanne. "I've got just the case in mind. I heard about it last week; that reunion murder case."
"Ah yes." said Cindy. "Happened ten years ago, so the class will be having another reunion soon." Joanne nodded.
"Ma'am, will we be able to have Myron and Mary work with us?" asked Theo.
"Probably, if they're not too busy." Cindy said. "And Mary might be asked to try her hand on a cold case or two. I might also have Lainie or Sonali help you, to sharpen their own skills."
"Ma'am," said Joanne, "this is off subject, but... what is Commander Troy going to do about the Police Boxing Matches?"
"We've never had a Champion not make it to the finals the next year," Cindy said, "though some have not competed at all, either through retirement or injury. I don't see how Commander Troy can recover from this serious back surgery in time... but knowing him... you just never know."
"Oooh, the trophy is as good as mine!" Joanne exclaimed. She and Cindy exchanged two-finger pointings as Theo and Teddy chuckled.

"So how is Don doing?" asked the Deputy Director as he and Jack Muscone sat in the DepDirector's office in the FBI offices in the City's Federal Building.
"He's recovering well." said Muscone. "But he probably won't return to full duty until the week after next."
"My God." said the DepDirector. "I know he's a tough bastard, but modern medicine has really advanced to incredible levels."
"Yes sir." said Muscone. "He says I can consult with him while he's recovering at home, so that he doesn't become too bored. His words."
The DepDirector smiled. "And we'd better take advantage of that offer. We've got a lot going on, from Superior Bloodlines, to local crop-ups of White Roots in this State, to internal issues."
"And Ferrell." said Muscone. "Don thinks Ferrell is somewhere in the area."
"Why?" asked the DepDirector. "I mean... why does Don think Ferrell would come back into this area?"
"He thinks Ferrell might've been involved in those Domingo Shipping tanker trucks being used to bring drugs into the State dissolved in chemical solvents." said Muscone. "Don thinks four of those trucks were the ones used to try to removed the waste chemicals from Bexall in the Pine Valley case he cleaned up for us, pun fully intended." The DepDirector chuckled.
"And also, Sharples's trial for murder is coming up." Muscone said. "If Sharples suddenly decides to talk, Don thinks Ferrell will have to be around to choreograph taking Sharples out."
"And anything else?" asked the DepDirector, peering at Muscone, who peered right back.
"Not that I'm aware of, sir." said Muscone. "But as you know, Captain Ross is always saying the Iron Crowbar never shows his full hand, but holds things back. So maybe he's holding something back from me, as well."
