Thank you for reading my story, I hope that you enjoy it. Love Mica xx, Yorkshire England.
Please note that I am a British female, and I write in British English and vernacular, so for me a fanny is the correct term for female genitalia, a pussy is a pet cat, and the ass is a bum or arse.
I apologise for any typo errors in my story - I edit these myself, and I'm not perfect...
This is the conclusion of my Tom series.
His phone rang. "Bentley," he answered.
"We have a body sir," the voice on the phone said, "IC1 female, age around thirty."
"Okay Christine, where?" An all too familiar phone call.
"Outside the precinct sir."
"Okay, I am on my way." He put his coffee down and grabbed his jacket and headed off. He had his blue strobe lights on, but not his sirens, there was not really a hurry, but he also didn't need to sit and wait for traffic lights to change.
He pulled up just outside the blue police incident tape tied between lamp posts. There were a few gawkers standing outside the tape looking on, inside the tape there was a tent erected to hide the scene from the onlookers.
"Sir," DS Christine Jackson greeted him. She pulled the screen to one side and they entered the tent. There was the body of a woman lying on the floor, a pool of blood by the body.
"Christine, what do we have?"
"Sir, a woman, stabbed with a single wound directly to the heart, death would have
been almost instantaneous."
"Any witnesses?"
"No sir, but we are asking people for any footage that they may have on mobile phones, and we also have a number of CCTV cameras, I have spoken to the operators, they will forward everything they have."
"Right."
He bent down to look at the body. A woman, around thirty or so years in age, blond haired, hair pinned back in a ponytail. She was wearing a cream-coloured mid-length dress and small heeled shoes. Beside her was a handbag and some bags of what looked like shopping. Spreading from her was a drying pool of blood. He crouched down and looked closely at her face.
She was wearing makeup, her lips had lipstick on them, her eyes were open, as was her mouth, her teeth, what little he could see, appeared in good condition. There was a small gold watch on her wrist, two rings on her finger, perhaps engagement and wedding, and there were stockings, or tights, on her legs. He would get a full report on her clothing when the pathologist team examined her.
He stood up. "Anything Christine?" He asked his detective sergeant.
"I did not notice anything special sir," she replied.
"No, nor did I. Right, they can take the body. Let's get back to the shop and get started."
Tom looked at the mark on his stairs and tutted, it was the remains of when Helen Henderson dripped his spunk on the stairs after he rough fucked her. He knew he should have cleaned it up, but, well, he couldn't be bothered.
At work Sandra kept coming by his desk, she wanted to know if he needed an Admin Assistant, and if they could go for another afternoon meeting. He just remained non-committal, although his dick hardened every time she came by and was doing its best to persuade him to acquiesce.
At home he had only been bothered by Helen from over the road. Until this evening that was. His front doorbell chimed. When he answered the door, it was Maisie Williams from next door.
"Hello Masie," he said, "how can I help you?" He wondered if someone had tried to deliver a parcel whilst he was out, and had left it with her instead.
"Hello Tom, I know it has been a while, and I just thought that I ought to pop around and just make sure that you are okay, you know, neighbourly."
What was this? Why was he suddenly so popular now that his wife was dead? Not, of course, that she actually had been his wife, only pretend, not that anyone knew.
"Well that is really nice of you," he said, "would you like to come in? I think I have a bottle of wine somewhere, we could share that."
"Well, that would be lovely Tom, yes, please, I would like that." He stepped to one side, and she entered and then followed him to the kitchen after he had shut the front door. Locking it too she noticed.
In the kitchen he retrieved the bottle of Chablis from the fridge and pulled the cork. He took two glasses from the cupboard and poured large glasses, almost half the wine gone in one serving each.
"Let's go in the lounge," he said passing her one of the two glasses.
Maisie followed him into the lounge and they sat opposite each other, she on the individual armchair, Tom on the sofa.
"Well," Tom said by way of inviting Maisie to speak.
"I was, no, I am wondering how you are Tom. I don't see you out and about much, and what happened to Jo was appalling, it really was, but I can't change that, none of us can, but that must have been an awful shock to you, just how are you feeling, really?" Eventually she took a breath and paused to take a sip of her wine.
She looked nervous to Tom, and her rushed words only added to that feeling. He looked across at her as she sipped at her wine. She was wearing a semi sheer white top through which he could just make out her bra, she had a blue cotton skirt on, and flatty shoes. No stockings or tights. On the chair beside her she had put her phone and house keys, no handbag.
"Oh Maisie, what can I say, everyone has been so kind, but no, we can't bring Jo back, Jo is gone forever." He leant back and took a mouthful of wine, allowing it to trickle slowly down his throat. Her top was partially unbuttoned, but that was normal he thought, it wasn't as if they had suddenly become unbuttoned, unlike Sandra, whose blouse buttons seemed somehow to unbutton themselves whilst he was at the bar purchasing their drinks.
Maisie took another drink, swallowed and then continued, "no, she is gone, and how are you coping Tom, I mean, really?"
"What can I say Maisie, I get very lonely, I don't see anyone. I go to work, and people seem unsure what to say or how to react, so they don't, I am pretty much left alone. Helen Henderson from over the road popped over to see how I was, and that is pretty much it. I had a really close, intimate life, and then one day that was all taken away. Now, nothing. TV is full of crime drama, so I don't watch that. I just sit."
"Oh, that is terrible Tom, you said an intimate life?"
"Well, yes, sorry, perhaps I am oversharing. Jo and me? Well, yes, we were, we loved each other, and we showed each other that every day." He wondered if he were going a little over the top, he decided he wasn't and he carried on. "And that intimacy has gone, I have nothing but memories and the time alone is very alone, I miss that physicality."
"Oh, Tom, that is so sad," she said, "yes, I heard you sometimes, I know that you had a close relationship."
"Oh gosh, Maisie, you heard us? Oh I am so embarrassed, my goodness. Those times are gone, and it saddens me so much." He managed to look as if he were about to cry, his face trembled and he blinked his eyes as if holding back tears."
"Oh Tom," she said and she put her wine glass down and got up and then sat next to Tom, putting her arm around him and pulling him close to her.
"Tom, it didn't matter that I could hear you, but you certainly seemed to give Jo an exceptionally good time by the sounds, oh yes, I was quite envious." Her hand rested on his thigh and she gave an almost imperceptible squeeze.
He pushed himself into her cuddle, feeling her breast on his chest. "Yes Maisie, I miss those moments, and I guess I always will, I don't expect I will ever get close enough to a woman again, no one is going to be interested in me, not like that." He managed a sorrowful gulp and a sharp intake of breath.
"Yes they will Tom, goodness, yes they will."
"No, Maisie, no they won't, I mean no one would be, I would never be able to find intimacy like that again, I am destined to live a loveless life."
She squeezed his leg again, his dick swelling had meant that her hand was much closer than she realised, and as his dick lurched in his trousers, she felt its movement. She looked into his eyes, seeing his sadness and she moved her hand and squeezed his dick through the fabric of his clothes.
"Don't," he gasped, "don't unless you mean it, I couldn't cope," he said, his lips quivering.
"I mean it," she said, her mouth closing the gap to his and kissing him as she undid the fly on his trousers.
He smiled inwardly, perhaps he should have been an actor. He flexed his dick, making it lurch into her hand. Maisie pulled his underpants down and grasped his dick, hot and hard, his breath gasping. "Take me upstairs Tom," she said letting go of his dick and standing up, pulling his hand to get him to his feet too.
"I'm not sure," he said, "I will let you down, it has been so long."
She leant forward and kissed him, pressing her body against his. "No, no you won't Tom, and I will show you there is life after Jo."
"Right Christine, what have we got?" Chris Bentley asked. It had been twenty four hours since the murder and he and Christine were seated in their office, coffees in hand and it was time to review what they had.
"Sir, we have CCTV from the streets, and also from a number of the shops where they had outfacing cameras. We also have two videos from members of the public that were filming in the area. I haven't finished going through them yet, but I have this one image that I want you to see."
She used her computer to display an image on the screen on the wall. It showed the victim and in close proximity what looked to be a male, hoodie and from the hoodie there was a peaked cap, a baseball type cap."
"We can't see his features," Chris said.
