The Mark Stone Series Part 1: Broken Ruby.




Ruby is standing nervously tapping her foot at the front door, before she rings the bell, she gets the small compact mirror out of her clutch bag making sure her hair and makeup look good. She took a deep breath, pressed the bell with a shaking finger, and waited.


Standing at the door felt like hours even though it was only a couple of minutes.

On the other side of the door Ruby could hear the locks being undone, she started wondering why all the locks as the door opened.


Standing in the entrance way was a very anxious but tall, handsome young man called Darren who’s hoping Ruby was as beautiful as she was in her photo on the website.

The first thing Darren notices are her ruby red high heels, his eyes slowly travelling up her slender calves rising towards her thighs noticing Ruby's shapely hips and then realising how hard her chest is beating under the huge voluptuous breasts and how tight that dress is gripping her flesh showing off her sensual body. Darren feels a throb in his trousers, his face flashes red and a bead of sweat trickles down the back of his neck as he looks at her full scarlet red lips, their eyes eventually meet, and the surge of desire thrills his cock with anticipation of what's to come.


Ruby felt breathless with the expectation ahead, she felt a warmth of desire throughout her body and a flutter in her panties as she stood at his door gazing into his deep blue eyes.

Ruby glanced down quickly and noticed the bulge in Darren's trousers hoping he didn't see the surprise on her face.


Eventually, Darren invited Ruby into his dimly lit apartment. Slowly Ruby walks in, she looks around with her stilettos tapping on the floor with each step, he closes the door as she enters, places his hand on the small of her back, and guides Ruby into the dimly lit living room with jazz music playing quietly in the background.

Darren hands over the money he had ready in his trouser pocket, Ruby discreetly puts it in her bag and then accepts the offer of a glass of wine, they clink glasses with a smile on their faces, and they take a sip.


Darren invites Ruby to take a seat, she now realises how handsome he is, as they talk Darren places a hand on her thigh and softly caresses up and down, he slips a finger or two under the hem of her dress and feels the heat of her soft silky skin.


Realising Darren’s intentions Ruby places her wine glass on the coffee table in front of them, then slowly take Darren's glass out of his hand and places it down next to hers, Ruby leans in for a kiss, starting slowly at first, as their lips touch Ruby feels a spark of electricity, her heart starts racing with excitement as the kiss turns more passionate, she slides her tongue into his mouth, their tongues entwined with each other lusting for more, then Darren slightly parts Ruby’s thighs, sliding his hands up towards her lacy panties, the feeling of heat under his big hand on her soft skin as he does so, Ruby tenses, her pussy starts twitching as feels dampness between her legs, she lets a low moan yearning for the feeling of his fingers inside her but Ruby had to wait just a bit longer.


Darren is so horny and turned on, he stands Ruby up with his strong arms, turns her around, moving her long flowing hair from the back of her neck exposing bare soft skin, he gently kisses the nape of her neck all the while little by little easing the zip down on the back of her dress. Ruby turned back around facing Darren again and sexually pulled her dress down, letting it drop to the floor, stepping out Ruby kicked it to one side, she's now standing in her red stilettos, red lacy panties and bra, she starts unbuttoning Darren shirt, letting her hands lightly feel the muscles on his firm chest, when she's finished Darren takes Ruby's hand and walks towards the bedroom.


Once inside Ruby sits Darren on the bed, with the music still playing softly in the background she starts slowly and seductively removing her bra dropping it on the floor then strips off her lacy panties, she bends down, picks them up, and tosses them in Darren's face, he holds them up so he can smell the scent of her wet pussy.

Darren's cock is so hard he can no longer hide it, he starts to remove his trousers but Ruby stops him so she can take control.


Ruby now naked kneeing on the floor between his leg, slides Darren's trousers and shorts to the floor, she tenderly places his hard cock in her hand and slowly but firmly starts rubbing up and down the shaft, Ruby leans in, starts kissing the end of his cock, licking the head, swirling her wet tongue all around, she leans in further taking his cock all the way, Darren moans with the wonderful sensation, Ruby starts slowly at first, sucking up and down his shaft feeling every inch of his hard cock in her mouth, she can hear Darren moaning with excitement and the sensation as Ruby gets faster and takes his cock deeper, he can feel her lips, her wet tongue caressing his cock, her fingers moving to his balls, squeezing and playing with them, Darren feels like he's about to cum with this erotic thrill but he doesn't want too not yet, it's too soon, but Ruby’s so good she's going hard, so deep and fast, he grabs her hair wrapping it around his hand pressing her head down further, Darren's never felt anything like this before, his moans are getting louder, Ruby removes his cock from her mouth and begins swirling her tongue all around, up and down the shaft licking his pre-cum at the same time, putting it back in her mouth she starts sucking his cock now faster and faster, she can feel his cock twitching, pulsing with utter pleasure, she senses he's about to cum, then Darren gasps loud as he pulls his cock out of her mouth and squirts all over Ruby’s face, she looks up smiles, swipes cum on her finger and seductively licks it clean while gazing into his eyes. She eventually stands wiping her face with a cloth Darren gave her.


Soon after, Darren takes Ruby by the waist and gently flings her down on his bed, he's standing at the bottom by her feet, bends over, and begins kissing her soft silky slender calves which send goosebumps across Ruby's body. Darren slowly opens her legs all the while kissing them softly and with purpose, he places one knee on the bed in between her legs making Ruby open even more exposing her inner thighs, he can hear her moan, feel her body twitch with his touch, it's now time for me to pleasure her he thought to himself as he continues caressing her naked body.

Darren places both knees between Ruby's legs spreading them wide apart, he can now see her beautiful pussy, he wants her so much, and his cock is starting to throb again but he's going to take his time. 

Darren has made his way up her legs, he slides both hands under Ruby's knees lifting them and spreading her legs even wider again. Ruby's body tenses with anticipation of what's to come, she glances down and sees only the top his head, then she feels it, the tickle of his wet tongue playing with the outside of her pussy, she arched her back, reached her arms out, hands gripping the bed sheets on either side of her sweat-soaked body, she bites her bottom lip with anticipation of what's to come, Ruby then feels his tongue delve deep into her already wet pussy, he licks all around exploring every millimetre inside. Darren then finds what he was searching for, her clit, no woman can resist a tongue flicking here he thought, and he was right, Ruby couldn't contain the excitement she screamed with the electrifying arousal she immediately felt, and her juices started flowing all over his face, Darren lifted his head looked at Ruby, licking his lips. Removing his hands from under her knees and moving them toward her pussy, he plunged his fingers in deep moving them around inside, this made Ruby wriggle on the bed, panting and breathless with joy she feels like she was going to burst any minute this feeling is so fantastic “oh fuck” she screams, her juices are pouring as he pushes another finger in, she has no idea how many he has inside her and she doesn't care Ruby is so aroused so excited she can't contain her erotic screaming her moaning, Ruby can't stop, she knows she’s about to have a climatic orgasm, Darren can sense it and just as he's pulling his fingers out Ruby squirts all over them.

Ruby’s body is quivering with excitement, her pussy won’t stop twitching, it’s screaming for more, Ruby want’s more, she places a hand on her breast squeezing it yearning for more she’s so horny, looking into Darren's eyes Ruby knows she’s definitely going to get more, in fact much more.

Darren slowly made his way up Ruby’s body kissing her soft skin, he reaches her succulent breasts trailing his tongue up around her areola feeling every bump as he searched for her nipple, he found what he was looking for, took it in his mouth sucking on the breast flicking the nipple fast with his tongue, Ruby’s scenes are now in overdrive, the feeling of his tongue is exhilarating, Ruby's gripping even tighter to the bed sheets now, panting, moaning, desire for more but not knowing if she can take it, as a bead of sweat dropped off Darren's forehead landing on one of Ruby's breasts, it started trickling down her soft skin travelling to her navel.

Ruby can feel his hard cock rubbing against her inner thighs getting closer to her yearning wet pussy, he leans towards Ruby's ear and in a husky raspy whisper asks “How do you want it, hard and fast or slow and tender”? The whispering in her ear sent an erotic tingle throughout her body she could barely breathe, her heart was pounding and she shouted out “hard and fast” and before she knew it Darren's big hard cock was working its way into her, opening the lips of her wet pussy then, he plunges in deep, she gasped out loud as he entered, he's thrusting hard fast deep. Ruby's legs now wrapped around his torso, her hands on his back, Darren tensed his body as Ruby's fingernails dug in deep leaving trails of red glowing scratches.

Darren’s thrusting harder, he’s moaning, it's getting louder with every thrust, every push, his body is hot and sweaty, his heart is racing, the feeling of his stiff cock inside her wet pussy, the noise of their juices mixing with every thrust inside her cunt is making him so horny, but then Darren slows down, he grabbed hard round Ruby’s waist and spins them both over, Ruby now straddling over Darren as he now lies on his back, beads of sweat trickling between her breasts that are now clasped in Darren's hands. Ruby gripped his wet cock, and placed it at the lips of her juicy pussy, she slides down his shaft feeling the penetration of it going in slow and deep, rising then slowly and purposely going down, again now but getting faster, with Darren's hands holding onto Ruby's hips she starts riding him harder and faster, she's screaming with excitement, he slaps her ass cheeks leaving a hot sensation, she’s riding his hard cock fast, her breasts bouncing wildly, their both during pure erotic sexual pleasure, she gasps when his hard cock hits her g-spot over and over again, Ruby’s getting breathless, she’s hot and soaking wet Ruby can't take much more but she doesn't want to stop so she leans forward holding onto the headboard trying to catch her breath. Darren’s moaning with extreme joy, the anticipation of the huge orgasm which he’s about to explode deep into Ruby’s pussy, he slaps her ass again she lets out a gasp as she feels another stinging hot sensation on her cheeks. Ruby knows what's about to happen, she can feel his cock twitching inside her as he clasps his big hands over her breasts squeezing hard, he’s moaning, she’s screaming, then simultaneously they both have a climactic orgasm, Darren erupts his load up her pussy, Ruby cums all down his shaft dripping down over his balls. She lifts herself off making a squelching noise as she does so, Darren's cum, and Ruby's cum mixing into each other as she climbs off and lying down next to him, their both breathing hard trying to catch their breaths, after a few minutes Ruby rolls off the bed, with her legs still shaking she slowly walks her naked body towards the bathroom to take a shower as Darren cleans himself down and puts some shorts on, he moves into the living room changes the music turns up the lights a bit more and waits for Ruby to join him. Once dressed Ruby enters the room where Darren is sitting, he gets up just realising how beautiful Ruby is and says “Until next time” and kisses Ruby on the cheek, he opens the front door, as she leaves Ruby she looks back, winks, he smiles and closes the door.

He touches his cock wishing for more knowing he will see her again.






CHAPTER TWO….




It was a dark morning, the clouds hanging overhead, it looked like it was going to rain later in the day so Louise grabbed her raincoat and headed out the door for work. With the usual hustle and bustle in the streets, people dodging the traffic trying to get to where they need to be, it drives her mad having to weave in and out of everyone's way, she stopped and bought her coffee from the stall outside of the police station.


As soon as she entered the station the rain, thunder, and lightning started, “wow that was lucky” she said under her breath as the doors closed behind her.

Once inside Louise took the lift up to her floor, walked to her desk, and sat down to drink the coffee she brought up hoping for a quiet day in the homicide and robbery department when she heard her partner, Det  Mark Stone shouts “Louise, let's go we've got a robbery to check out” so she grabbed her coat with coffee in hand and off they both went. 


Soon after they arrived at the apartment, Det Stone knocked on the door and when it opened Louise nearly collapsed with shock. Standing in front of her is Darren, her client from a few nights ago. Det Stone introduced them both and as they walked in Louise tilted her head down hoping he wouldn't recognize her.

Darren ushered both detectives into the living room showing them the mess, everything tossed out of the open drawers all over the floor and the damage the thief caused when he broke into the apartment, pointing out the places where the items were stolen from such as his laptop, watches, etc. As Det Stone was writing everything down, Louise was looking around remembering the night she spent here with Darren, her heart pounding as she was thinking back to that time and how wonderful the sex was, she could feel a flush in her face and made a quick exit hoping her partner didn’t notice and wondering if Darren did recognize her because she just couldn't tell.


Darren did realise who Det Louise Smyth was, it took a few minutes because the last time they met her hair was down flowing over her shoulder, ruby red lips and not dressed like a police detective, now with her hair up in a tight bun and wearing a dark blue trouser suit and flats. Darren was slightly surprised but hoping not to show it in front of her colleague.


After all the police, crime scene experts, and investigators left Darren wondered if he should get in contact with Det Louise to talk.

   

Back at the station Louise was starting to write up her report but there was a problem because she knew her fingerprints would be in at least three rooms at the apartment, she knew she had to do something, but what? What could she do? Then it came to her, she’ll have to wait until everyone’s gone home for the night.

Having to wait all day for everyone to leave felt like forever, staying at her desk drinking so much coffee, Louise kept a close eye on her computer hoping the crime lab wouldn't send the results of the fingerprints from Darren's apartment until she's on her own.


Time was ticking so slowly, the day was dragging, it’s still dark outside with thunder clouds overhead and the rain pouring down heavily hitting the window next to Louise's desk.

Eventually, one by one her colleagues began going home, the nerves were starting to rise in Louise's stomach because she knew what had to be done to hide the fact that she had been in Darren’s apartment before the robbery occurred.

Her computer beeped to life as the emails started coming through from the different departments involved in the robbery, Louise’s eyes scrolled through them specifically looking for the fingerprint results, her stomach was churning with nervous anticipation, she couldn’t find what's she looking for, Louise can feel the panic rise inside, she closes her eyes, takes a deep breath and scrolls back up looking for the email she missed, at last there it is, Louise opens it up and begins reading through searching for her name, she spots it Miss Louise Smyth plus showing her date of birth, address, and occupation, she feels sick knowing that she’s about to break the rules, but needs must, it has to be done. Louise moves the cursor towards her name, placing a finger over the delete button, she leaves it hovering wondering if there's another way to explain why her prints would be at the crime scene but reality sets in and she knows there isn't one so Louise pressed delete. 

No going back now, she thought, finishing off all her paperwork and then heading home, not with just the rain clouds hanging over her head but also with a dark cloud of realisation of what she’d just done to the case but more importantly to her career.   

 

Once home Louise takes off her badge removes her gun and puts them both in the safe draw, she then kicks off her shoes, pours herself a glass of wine carries it through to the bathroom, puts it down next where she’s running herself a hot relaxing bath, as it’s filling up with bubbles Louise strips off her clothes in the bedroom then heads to the steamy bathroom.

As Louise steps in one foot at a time, the hot water sends a warmth throughout her body, she lies there enjoying the silence sipping her wine she sighs as her mind drifts back to her night with Darren and wondering if she would or even should see him again.


The heat of the bath makes Louise sleepy, her head drops to the side as she drifts off but there's a ringing in the background, realising she’s not dreaming and it’s her phone in the bedroom she jumps awake but just lets it go to the answer phone because she's not working either job tonight. 

From the other room, Louise could hear the message, it was the agency that Louise works for as Ruby, telling her that the client she had a few days ago named Darren was interested in seeing her again and to get in touch via the agency email they sent. Her heart skipped a beat not knowing what to do, on the one hand, Louise knew she shouldn't but on the other hand he was gorgeous and the sex was amazing.

After a restless night with hardly any sleep, Louise opened up her laptop and responded to the email accepting another appointment to meet.


Yet again Louise makes her way to work but today not knowing what to expect and if anyone releases that the fingerprint form had been altered, after a couple of hours observing everyone in the room it seemed like she was in the clear, fingers crossed. Louise felt reassured and got on with her daily paperwork trying to find out who the burglars were when her mobile pinged. It was an email from Darren asking to meet tomorrow night at his place again around 8 pm. Now having doubts, what should she press yes or no? Louise pondered for a while then pressed yes.


Det Stone could see Louise was a bit distracted she had been for a couple of days but as they were only new partners Stone thought he should just mind his own business as he found  Louise a bit defensive and just kept to herself.


Louise finished work early the next day so she could get ready for her night with Darren even though he is just a client Louise likes him which is very unusual as Louise doesn't really like men she thinks they just use women.


She has a shower letting the water run down her breasts, splashing on the floor around her feet all the while thinking of what tonight is going to bring. After she's dried off Louise looks through her closet wondering what outfit to wear, she settles on a short tight black dress to go with her red heels and the ruby red lipstick which is her trademark colour for the alias Ruby. After a couple of glasses of wine, Louise heads out to Darren once again. She knows this is just a job but Louise is feeling nervous the closer she gets to his apartment.

 

Standing at his front door Louise takes a deep breath, rings the bell, and waits. Darren opens the door, he stands there gazing at how beautiful Louise looks as she says “Hi I'm Ruby” and steps into his apartment.

Ruby notices it’s a lot brighter inside this time and that Darren looks a bit on edge as he ushers her through to the living room where he gives Ruby her money, as usual, Ruby puts it straight into her bag then Darren hands Ruby a glass of wine which Ruby notices is a lot bigger than last time as she takes a sip. They sat on the sofa for a little while talking about this and that but not their chance meeting a few days ago when she came to investigate his robbery to which Ruby thought was rather strange but since he was paying for tonight she didn't think it was right for her to bring it up so she just relaxed and enjoyed the wine.


Darren puts his drink on the table, takes Ruby’s away and they both lean in for a kiss, placing a hand behind her head and turning this into a passionate kiss as his tongue is searching its way in again, circling Ruby’s mouth playing with her tongue, as his other hand slides up her thighs slipping his way in between, feeling her soft silky skin, gliding his fingers up higher sending a wave of excitement through Ruby’s body as he reaches and strokes the outside of the pussy he realises she has no panties on, Ruby opens up her legs wider yearning for more, she places her hand on his trousers feeling his hard cock throbbing, she starts to unzip them, he's now breathing heavily in her ear as Ruby pulls his cock out feeling how hard he is, remembering how he likes it Ruby starts rubbing his cock slowly and firmly, she can feel his body tense up with every stroke, his breathing turning into panting as Ruby goes faster, up and down fast and hard squeezing his balls with her other hand.

Darren pulled his trousers off, he leaned back on the sofa as Ruby slides down onto the floor kneeling between his legs, with his cock in her hands Ruby licks her lips and thrusts it deep into her open mouth, her tongue swirling around his shaft wildly as his cock goes in and out, he's moaning loudly with every movement as he holds onto the sofa arm with one hand and holding onto Ruby’s head with the other hand, leaning back looking up to the ceiling, his moans are getting louder with excitement, his hold on her head is getting tighter and he’s pushing Ruby's head faster and faster for his cock to go in deeper “oh god keep going” shouting he knows he’s about to cum his balls are twitching they’re about to explode, Ruby slows down and starts licking the end of his cock, some cum starts dripping out of her mouth all over her ruby red lips, she looks up smiling puts his cock back into her mouth just as Darren explodes his cum inside for Ruby to swallow it all the way down.


Then Ruby stands up, Darren takes hold of her by the waist and places her on the sofa on all fours, hitches her dress up over Ruby’s sexy tight ass, up her back knowing Ruby has no panties on, Darren bends down behind Ruby’s ass, spreads her legs, reaches under towards her already soaking wet pussy pushing his fingers right in, he's poking her slowly at first then going fast in and out, over and over again, he hears Ruby gasp and starts panting hard, her pussy is dripping with juices, still gasping and moaning with pure joy, he's listening to the sucking and squelching noises his fingers are creating inside, then as he pulls them out she drips all over.


Darren moves both hands to Ruby’s ass, spreads it apart then pushes his head between and starts kissing the insides of her cheeks, getting further in, he begins to lick around her ass hole. Ruby is shaking with the most erotic feeling she ever experienced even in her profession, she’s screaming, squirming with excitement as Darren’s tongue slips in her hole flicking all around feeling every millimetre as she clenches her hole tight pressing on his tongue as he pulls it out, he then slides a finger in wriggling it around, her ass juices are sticking to his finger as he's getting faster, this is getting too much for Ruby to handle, her body quivers, she starts moaning loudly turning into a scream of pleasure, her legs shake and are starting to give way just as she squirts and cums everywhere, all over his cum soaked finger.

As Ruby is catching her breath Darren begins to rub his cock fast getting it hard and ready again, then before Ruby realises what's happening he plunges his cock in deep. Darren starts fucking her tight ass hard and fast, the feeling was amazing as he’s pushing in and out hard, he can hear Ruby screaming which makes him fuck her even harder, Darren’s moaning loudly fucking her tight ass, pulling on Ruby’s hair, he pushed one of her legs onto the floor so he can get closer to push his cock in deeper, Ruby screaming “faster go faster” with pleasure and pain, she's gripping on to the back of the sofa taking all she is getting, reaching her other arm round grabbing his thigh, Ruby’s legs are going weak as he fucking her fast, he slaps her ass over and over, the burning sensation turned Ruby on even more, he leans in bringing an arm around the front rubbing her wet pussy fast, poking his fingers in, letting her juices pour down around his fingers, he pulls them out, then out of know where she feels him exploding up her ass, the sensation felt amazing with every squirt he pushed his cock in deep, he slowly stops, resting his head on her back as they both catch their breath, Darren then gently pulls his cock out leaving a trail of cum sliding down between her ass cheeks dripping onto the sofa, his cock is covered in Ruby’s cum, he kissed her ass cheek and walks off to shower.


Ruby senses something different with Darren, this time he doesn't look as happy and polite as he left her alone on the sofa so she cleans herself up, pulls her dress down, sorts her hair out in the mirror, and leaves his apartment feeling a bit disappointed not wanting to see him again because this time she feels dirty.


Over the next couple of weeks, Det Stone and Det Louise were both hard at work dealing with a few robbery cases, taking more witness statements, looking at CCTV, and going through the evidence, they solved a couple but there were a few more to solve including Darren's.


A few days later Louise’s phone pinged, there was an email but she didn't recognize the address, thinking it was work-related Louise opened it, what she saw left her shocked and speechless. Det Stone noticed there was something wrong, he went over to Louise and asked: “What's up, everything ok, you don't look good?” Just as Louise was turning her phone off, getting up from the desk and looking a bit shaken, Louise quickly dashed towards the lift and shouted back saying “I’ve something personal to deal with, I'll sort a few days off with the captain later” and off she went.

On her way home Louise buys a couple of bottles of wine because she thinks she may need them.






CHAPTER THREE….



Once home Louise kicks off her shoes, puts her gun and badge away then with a shaking hand pours herself a large glass of wine, sits at the dining table, turns her phone back on, takes a deep breath, a big gulp of wine and opens up the email she received earlier. Louise couldn't believe what she was seeing, there in front of her is a video of her and Darren in his living room fucking on his sofa.

The tears started rolling down her cheeks. Blackmail, “How could he do this”? She thought they had a connection but then it dawned on her, she remembered their last time together, the lights were turned up brighter, the bigger glass of wine, and why in the living room and not the bedroom like last time, she also remembers his attitude towards her was more abrupt, a bit distracted than last time. Louise just can't believe it. She couldn't watch the video, she’s seen enough and began reading the message that came with it. It read “Ruby (or should I say Det Louise) you have 48 hours to pay $50,000 you can put it in my post box, once I receive the money I will prove to you I have deleted the video and destroyed the photos, no one will ever know”. 

Louise read the message over and over again letting it sink in and wondering what to do, getting pissed off by the minute, then she thought to herself “Who the fuck does he think he is demanding money from me? Typical man using and abusing” drinking more wine and getting even angrier “I’ll show him” and started plotting a plan to sort this out. After a few more glasses of wine, Louise finally went to bed feeling exhausted.


To everyone's surprise, Louise arrives at work with a pissed angry attitude, she went straight to her desk, turned her computer on, and began researching all about Darren. Louise wanted to know everything she could about her blackmailer but she needed to be careful no one could find out. Stone walked over to Louise’s desk, he was worried about her and tried to get any information but Louise shut him out.


Later in the day Det Stone was at his desk talking to someone in a cap which Louise didn't recognize at first but then to shock and horror it was Darren and in his hand was a big brown envelope, “what the fucks he doing here?” she thought as panic set in, it was then she saw the envelope, her heart started beating so fast she thought it was going to burst out of her chest before she could join them Det Stone walked Darren into a small glass windowed room, they sat down, he puts the envelope on the table, with a grin on his face he glances over to Louise knowing that his presence here is fucking with her mind. Darren and the detective were talking for quite some time when he finally left the room, Louise noticed Darren still had the brown envelope in hand, she tried to run after him before he got into the lift but was too late, the doors closed just as she got there, her anger boiled inside as she walked back to her desk mumbling under her breath “fucken men who the fuck do they think they are?”


Det Stone was gathering everyone around the whiteboard getting ready to discuss the two recent burglaries in which two males were killed, they were trying to connect the victims but apart from them both having been burgled there was nothing else, Louise was watching from her desk, taking notes of what was being said, her mind is racing to try to think if how to get out of this situation she's got herself in. It was getting late so Louise finished for the day and headed home but ended up in the pub, she sat at the bar for an hour drinking her worries away when it hit her, she knew what needed to be done again.


Regaining her composure Louise knocked on Darren’s door not knowing what kind of reception to expect but hoping she could change his mind about the blackmail.

Darren opened the door when he saw who it was that stupid grin came across his face noticing she had a bag, Darren then invited Louise in.

Louise entered so angry but still keeping her composure, looking at him she forced a smile and went into the living room, turning to face him Louise asked for a glass of wine and sat down on the sofa at the same time looking around the room and searching for the hidden camera.  Darren handed her the wine and asked at the same time if she'd brought the money.

Sitting down drinking her wine Louise laughed and said “Don’t be in such a hurry, it’s in my bag” which she had placed on the floor by her feet. They sat in awkward silence until Louise asked about the big brown envelope he had at the police station, “Oh you mean this one?” holding up “It’s empty” laughing as he replied.


Louise was so pissed she has had enough of his stupid games, she put her wine down and thought “fuck it”, getting up to walk round the back of the sofa Louise stood behind Darren,  Louise reached up to remove her vintage hairpin out from her bun, grabs him firmly by his hair, pulls his head fast and hard to one side, leans in and whispers “you fucking bastard, you won’t be grinning now”  with ultimate satisfaction she plunges the hairpin deep into the side of his neck, waited for a few seconds, twisted it back and forth then slowly pulls it out watching as the bloods gushing out from the bloody wound it left behind. Darren’s in shock not releasing at first what's happened, he’s desperately trying to stop the blood, he grabs for the napkin under his glass but knocks them both to the floor, it was useless he knew he was bleeding out, feeling faint he leaned back, his hand dropped to his side as Louise walked back round to face him and said “you messed with the wrong bitch” with a smile on her face, watching the life drain away listening for his last gurgled breath.


When Louise knew for sure he was dead she put her latex gloves on that she kept in her bag, took the vintage hairpin and the wine glasses to the kitchen so she could scrub them clean, after putting the glasses away and placing her hairpin back into her bun, Louise took a deep breath composed herself and began the search looking for Darren’s computer hard drive, the big brown envelope, UBS sticks and his phone that she immediately turned off so it couldn’t be traced.

Once Louise thought she had everything she started to ransack the apartment making it look like another robbery. Retrieving her bag and picking up the other bag of all the things collected Louise stood in the middle of the room taking another glance around, she looked over to Darren’s dead body, blew a kiss, and said “goodbye” quietly closing the door behind her.





CHAPTER FOUR….



Louise woke up extremely early the next morning knowing she had a lot to do before work, waiting for the kettle to boil she spilled the contents of the bag onto the floor spreading it out with her foot she, sighing she went to make herself a coffee, putting her gloves on again, sitting  on the floor picking up his mobile phone to remove the memory card placing it to one side so she can look through it later then snapped the sim card in half. She then opened the brown envelope, took out the photos, and put them all through her shredder then emptying the contents in her bin and setting them on fire destroying everything.


Releasing the time Louise started getting ready for work, having a hot shower and making sure the soap washed away the smell of smoke from her hair and body, feeling a little on edge Louise made her usual way to work grabbing her coffee before heading in and going to her desk.


Det Stone took a phone call, and shouted over to Det Louise “Hey, Louise we've another murder, and it looks like a robbery, come on let's go”. Louise’s heart was pounding so hard she couldn’t hear herself think, wondering if it was Darren, entering the lift to go downstairs Stone could see his partner breathing hard and sweating. Stone asked if she was ok, Louise felt sick but just nodded.


The apartment was already taped off with police standing guard outside, they both got suited up, gloves on, and headed in. Det Stone went straight to the body which looked pale and was slouched back on the sofa, as Det Stone was talking to the medical examiner, asking officers to go door to door and start taking statements while the crime scene unit retrieved fingerprints, photos and bagged up any evidence they could find. Louise stood in the doorway with shaking legs watching everyone in disbelief that he was found so quickly. “Det Louise, are you coming?” She heard from inside, as Louise made her way through the mess not wanting to disturb anything, slowly looking around hoping and praying there was nothing of hers left here from her night time job belonging to Ruby. As Louise walked into his bedroom, the memory of her hot steamy night rushing through her mind, she felt sick with nerves not knowing what they were going to find. The two detectives stayed at the apartment for a couple of hours jotting down everything until it was time to go back to the station.


Det Stone put the picture up on the whiteboard next to the photos of the other two robbery homicide victims.

Victim one, Keith, age 66. Victim two, John, age 48, and now victim three, Darren, age 36. On the other side of the board was written ‘SUSPECT ?’


Louise stood at the whiteboard, turned round facing the other detectives, and said “Looks like we may have a serial killer in town”.






CHAPTER FIVE… 



The slow tick…tick…ticking of the clock on the office wall was hypnotising, Louise was sitting at her desk under its spell remembering how hard things were.


Louise had a troubled childhood, always running away from home, away from the hurt and pain that was caused from the abuse of her step father Burt.

She never liked him from the minute they were introduced to each other, Louise sensed there was something wrong, he was on edge all the time but when Burt was with her mother he changed and acted really nice and loving. Louise begged her mother Mary not to marry him but Mary was lonely raising Louise on her own for ten years so when Burt asked her to marry him Mary was so happy, she thought at last she’d met her prince and he’d sweep her off her feet. How wrong she was. 


The abuse started around a month into the marriage, overnight Burt just changed, he started drinking all the time and the more he drank the angrier he became. Mary couldn’t do anything right such as dinner not being ready on time, ironing the wrong shirt for work, messy house, no matter how hard Mary tried to keep him happy Burt would just drink and lash out shouting at Mary “your my wife you do what i say your my property.”


Louise witnessed how Burt treated her mother, the mental and physical abuse, watching her lovely mother try to cover up the bruises on her face and arms with make-up, wearing scarves around her neck and long sleeves on hot days to hide more bruises.


Then Burt started paying Louise attention, moving her hair behind her ears, winking, brushing his body against hers when he walks passed, it made Louise feel sick. Then one night when Louise was around twelve he came into her room at night and started touching, stroking her leg, at first Louise was terrified not knowing what to do but what she did know is that she was determined that they would never have sex, she’d kill him first.


Years passed, Burt had started treating Mary much better, he still drank but didn’t get as angry because he thought if he kept Mary happy she wouldn’t suspect his fantasies about Louise.


It’s Louise’s 18th birthday, she was out celebrating with her friends having a really good time and didn’t get home until the early hours of the next morning, still a bit drunk Louise went straight to bed.

Something woke her up, she heard a noise in the darkness of her room, saw there was movement as her bedroom door closed, she knew it was Burt and shouted for him to “fuck off”, but he kept coming closer undoing his trousers getting his dirty smelly cock out, holding it in his hand walking closer with that horrible grin across his face always that horrible disgusting grin.

Louise grabbed the first thing she could get hold of from her bedside table, looking at it releasing it was her new vintage hair pin, a gift for her birthday. She lunged towards Burt stabbing him in the face, he yelled out in pain running out of her bedroom blood running down his face. 

Mary heard the commotion, went to see what was happening, she saw Burt coming out of Louise’s room with his trousers undone, releasing what had happened Mary screamed at Burt threatening to call the police and ran to see if Louise was okay but before she could make the call Burt had packed his bags and ran off out the house.


Becoming aware of what’s just happened and what she's just done, Louise sat at her dressing table crying, she looked up and punched her reflection in the mirror smashing it into a hundred pieces. Sitting there silently looking at all the faces staring back as the tears rolled down her cheeks. Taking a deep breath she wiped them away thinking to herself  “no one will ever treat me like this ever again.”



After Louise took a shower washing away the smell and memories of that horrible man, she sat at the dressing table again looking in the broken mirror putting her red lipstick on.


Today was the day Ruby was born



A few years passed, Louise had joined the police force, working her way up the ranks really quick finally landing her dream job in the robbery homicide unit helping families to get justice for their loved ones as every day the face Louise sees in the mirror is just a mask she shows the world because deep down the hatred she still feels from that night of her 18th birthday will never be far from her thoughts.





CHAPTER SIX….



Det Mark Stone has been on the force for around 10 years, he is one of the most experienced and dedicated detectives in the robbery homicide unit and takes no shit from anyone.


“Louise…Louise” Stone shouting trying to get her attention. “Det Louise Smyth” Stone shouted one last time, getting annoyed now, Stone snapped at Louise “are you going to help or just sit there?”


Stone, now standing at the murder board addressing the rest of his team, starts discussing the evidence they have “right we have three male victims all single living alone, no pets and have normal every day jobs. Mark, I read the three witness statements and noticed no one saw or heard anything, maybe go back to all three scenes and take some more officers, you never know someone might come forward.”


Louise made her way over taking notes of what everyone's saying and the evidence as Stone continued with the briefing “how about the fingerprints?”  Pointing to another detective “do we have any?” he shook his head looking disappointed saying “he must have worn gloves.” Has anyone got anything we can go on?” blank faces staring back at her until Det Jones stood up and said  “Darren has a sister, she's coming in tomorrow for a chat maybe she can shed some more light on Darren's lifestyle.”

“Good, we need to lock this sick son of a bitch up before he strikes again.” As Stone was saying this he notices Louise grinning, wondering why. “Right, it’s been a long day, let's all go home and start fresh in the morning.” With that everyone got up and made their way home except Stone, he had an uneasy feeling in the pit of his stomach that something isn’t right, he’s never been to so many crime scenes with no evidence, it’s like the killer knows what the police look for “hopefully Darren's sister may be able to help tomorrow” he thought to himself.


As the night cleaners started their shift Stone eventually looked up, releasing the time and noticed everyone had left so decided it was time he went too.

Walking home through the park was his favourite time of the day, as the sun goes down casting shadows of the trees stretching across the field, joggers passing by nodding hello and just letting the stress fade away with every step before he gets home and closes the door behind him.


Sitting at the kitchen table enjoying a bottle of beer, Stone starts looking through the evidence, something was nagging at him, he knows something’s missing but just can’t put his finger on it. Looking at the email from the crime lab Stone noticed something was different from the email on his work computer but as there was nothing he could do until the morning Stone went to bed.

 

Det Stone was getting suspicious about the fingerprint results and wondering where Darren's laptop and phone were also he must have known his killer as there was no forced entry, so the next morning before anyone came into the office, Stone sat at his desk going over the evidence or what little there is, when all of a sudden he spotted it, the evidence has been altered. Stone couldn’t believe what she was looking at, making sure she wasn’t wrong. Stone re-read everything again, but there was no mistaking it, someone in the department has altered the evidence and Det Mark Stone thinks he knows who it is, so he made his mind up to go back to Darren’s home with Det Jones straight away, just the two of them on the quiet for another more thorough look around just in case they missed something the first time. Stone made sure to let Jones know that no one was to find out what they were going to do. 


Unlocking Darren’s front door Stone felt a wave of anxiety flow through his body hoping with everything he has that they don’t find anything. She opens the door they both put their gloves on and Stone turns the lights on as they walk in closing the door behind them. Looking around they could still see the fingerprint dust but most of all was the stain of Darren’s dried blood on the sofa. Jones headed to the kitchen to start her search there, first looking in the draws, cupboards and even in the fridge freezer just incase Darren hid anything in there and Stone started looking in the living room, thinking that as Darren’s was found on the sofa he’d begin there so he literally pulled it apart removing the cushions and their covers, when Jones was satisfied they hadn’t missed anything in the kitchen she joined him back in the living room. She help Stone turn the sofa upside down to see if there was any slits underneath but there wasn’t, then when they turned it back over again Stone heard a noise inside so they began looking for a rip on the cushion base and then they found it, Stone put his hand in and felt around, his hand was too big he couldn’t fit in all the way, so they tilted the sofa up on its side, Stone could hear something slide down towards the rip, he put his hand in and eventually pulls out an earring. They stand there in disbelief knowing that what they’ve just found could break the case wide open. Jones takes photos of the sofa, the rip on the sofa and the earring then opens an evidence bag for Stone to drop the earring in, sealing the bag straight up and heading right back to the station.   


Det Mark Stone gathered all the evidence including the earring he had then went to see Captain James. It took a while to go through everything and explain why he has his suspicions about Det Louise. When he was finished Captain James said “this is just between the three of us, no one must know, not just yet, we need to talk to the third victim's sister first and then Det Louise’s family. Discreetly get Det Jones to interview Darren's sister, see if she knows about this website he was using and to double check the other two victims used it too.”


Over the next couple of days detectives were working on tirelessly on other homicide cases as they came in, except Det Stone he was quietly going through more witness statements including the one Darren’s sister Clare made Det Jones in which she mentioned the name of the escort agency website that he would use from time to time, so with the permission from his Captain Det Stone was discreetly going through the photos on the site but because he didn’t have a warrant Stone had to pretend to be a client looking to hook up.


Louise was sitting at her desk looking around the room watching everyone, she saw Stone glued to his computer screen so she thought she’d walk past and have a peep at what Stone was looking at but as soon as Louise got close Stone closed down the page to pretend to be going through his emails, he looked up, smiled and asked “Is everything ok? What you up to?” Louise made an excuse by replying “just getting a coffee, you want one?” pointing to the coffee machine and continued asking “what you working on?” “Not much just getting rid of old emails and stuff” hoping Louise believed him and asked “how's your day going?” quickly changing the subject hoping Louise wasn’t getting suspicious.

It was then Stone knew he had to work fast because by the look on Louise’s face she didn’t look convinced Stone was telling the truth and Stone didn’t want Louise to kill again. 


Knowing they couldn’t talk to Louise’s mother Mary because they are too close to each other so the detectives decided to talk to her ex step father Burt, he was a different matter. It took a couple of days to track Burt down and persuade him to talk, he eventually agreed to talk but only if he doesn’t face charges when he tells them what happened and not at the station he doesn’t want Louise to know.


They arranged to meet at a hotel in the next town over, Stone set up the room with food and drinks to make Burt feel comfortable, he also had the crime scene photos, waiting anxiously Stone started doodling on his notepad hoping he would hurry up.   

There was a knock at the door. Stone jumped with nerves as Burt was an hour late.

He let him in, introduced himself and just chatted for a while having something to eat and drink hoping it would make Burt feel relaxed enough to talk.

Then Stone asked about Louise and her childhood and explained to him that he's going to be recording their conversation in which he agreed to.

Burt explained that when he was with Louise’s mother Mary, Louise was the ages of 14 and 18, he was an angry drunk a horrible husband and step father, he then told the story of what happened on her 18th birthday, trying to use the excuse of being drunk on his bad behaviour of what he did and that he could hardly remember but told Det Stone that on that night he made a pass at Louise shrugging his shoulders trying to make it out like it was no big deal, caring on he said “she went mad, screaming she grabbed something from her bedside table and the bitch stabbed me in the face, look I’ve still got the scare” pointing to just under his cheek bone.


Stone saw that his scare looked just like the wound on the three victims. Burt then explained that Louise had been abused by an ex boyfriend. All this information explains a lot about Louise and why she keeps to herself.

Understanding what Louise went through in her teens and early 20s explains her behaviour at work but there's absolutely no excuses for murder.

Getting everything he needed Stone told Burt to stay away from Louise and not to tell her about their meeting, he laughed saying “ yeah don't worry about that I’m keeping well away from that mad bitch” as he walked out the door.


The next day back at the police station Stone and Jones had another meeting with Captain James, he played him the recording of the meeting with Burt, it shook him to his core at the realisation that one of his best detectives is a cold blooded killer. Then Mark told him that all three men used the same escort website, all of a sudden it hit them that this is the connection they’ve been looking for. Their Captain sat there head in hands resting on his desk staring into nothing trying to get his head around it all. Captain James took a deep breath, looked up at Stone and said “Right, I’ve a plan” picked up his phone and made a call to an undercover agent, “This is Captain James I need to speak to Detective Sean immediately.”





CHAPTER….SEVEN



Louise is on edge, she senses something is going on in the office but isn’t sure if it’s just her imagination, she’s had enough of today, got her things and told Stone she was heading home early. 

This played well for Det Stone, he called up to the Captain and explained that Det Louise had left and that this would be a good day to start their entrapment to catch Louise with Sean.


They arranged for all the surveillance to be installed in the fake apartment of Sean and made sure he was the only male wanting an escort by rigging the website to be available for tonight. Everyone is feeling nervous knowing what Louise is capable of, so they also arranged some more officers outside to be ready to run in just in case things go wrong.


Feeling wired and frustrated, wondering if she should go on the escort page to see if anyone wanted to meet up for a so-called date and wondering how it could end.

Louise had a bath to relax her aching and tense body, then sitting at her kitchen table in her bathrobe Louise got onto the site looking to see if there is a client for the night, lucky enough there was one man his name is Sean “good looking too” she thought and arranged a date for later that night.

Louise was disappointed he wanted to meet in a bar for drinks first just to get to know each other except for Louise it’s just time wasting plus people will see them together which she didn’t want but as there was nothing Louise couldn’t do anything she just decided to go.


That night Louise put on her black lacy panties and matching bra, her little red dress with red high heels, now looking in the mirror putting her trademark ruby red lipstick on, making sure her hair is right, with a nod of approval she grabs her bag and heads out for her so called date.


Sean was already in the pub waiting, there were two glasses of wine sitting on the table as Louise walked up to him, introduced herself “hi I’m Ruby, you must be Sean”. Little did she know Sean knew exactly who Ruby was. He smiled, leaned in for a kiss, pulled her chair out inviting Ruby to sit.

As they sat Sean slid Ruby her money across the table the started chatting for a while knowing full well that everything she says is a lie, at the same time Ruby was trying to weigh him up, there was something about Sean she just couldn’t put her finger on, what was it about him that made her feel really uneasy, she excused herself and went to the ladies room for a quick break.


Ruby stood at the sink washing her hands, looking in the mirror still feeling uneasy. She took a deep breath, reapplying her lipstick then joined Sean back at the table where she noticed two more fresh drinks waiting.

Sean started small talk asking Ruby questions such as what movies, sport and music she liked, he knew she wouldn’t be telling the truth but had to ask cause that's what you do on dates. He got the sense Ruby or even Louise was a bit weary of him and holding back, he even started wondering if she thinks he's a cop, so now Sean needed to change his approach and decided to get a bit more intimate with her.

Reluctantly Sean touches Ruby’s thigh giving it a gentle squeeze as he’s looking into her eyes. He lightly slides his hand up and down then towards her inner thigh. Ruby felt a slight arousal and placed her hand on his thigh doing the same, little did she know this made Sean feel sick but he smiled pretending to enjoy it.

They move closer turning to face each other, with Ruby resting her elbow on the table she begins fiddling with her hair twisting it round her fingers pretending to look nervous but all she really wanted was to be in control which is far from what she's feeling now. “This is taking way too long” she thought and said “how about we go to yours?” Sean smiled, leaned in, kissed Ruby on her cheek and shrug his shoulders replying “yeah I’d like that but we can’t go to mine, I’ve a friend staying over that’s why we had to meet here, he goes away in a couple of days so if you want we can hook up again at my place?” feeling frustrated, Ruby kept smiling and agreed. They chatted for a bit longer both just telling lies about themselves. Sean noticed the time, it was getting late so he made an excuse  saying “I’ve got to be up early for work in the morning” and as he got up to leave Sean asked Ruby for her phone number saying “I'll ring you in a couple of days when my mate’s gone” Ruby has a rule never to give out her number to anyone but for some strange reason this time she let her guard down and as she passed it to him Ruby instantly regretted what she just done, Sean noticed the regret in Ruby’s expression so he pulled Ruby close and passionately kissed her then left taking her number with him.


The next day Captain James and Det Stone met up with the undercover agent Sean in a secret location to discuss what happened last night, he explained the reason why he didn’t take her back to his place was because he felt that she was a bit suspicious of him and didn’t feel like she trusted everything he was saying but explaining that he has her number and he’s going to ring her tomorrow. “Ok good, this gives us more time to make sure everything is ready and in place, we can’t fuck this up.” Sean also said “There’s something about that detective, even if I didn’t no she’s a killer I'd still stay away from her, she gives me the creeps” getting a shiver through his body, he continued “She was asking if my parents were still alive, if I have siblings or kids and who I live with? I've dealt with bad people before but she’s on a different level, she’s real bad.”

After everything was discussed about Louise they decided to carry out their plan tomorrow night, Sean texted Ruby his address and suggested a time for tomorrow with a question mark. Now all they could do was wait as the ball was in Ruby’s court.


The hours passed with no response, they're all getting nervous wondering if Louise knows that they have their suspicions about her. Captain James noticed Louise hovering around Stone trying to see what’s he’s working on, so he shouted her over to his office and gave Louise a new job down at records sorting through old case files that fit the homicides their working on now, she wasn’t happy about it storming out his office, grabbed her coffee cup and went downstairs. Det Stone felt a little better knowing Det Louise wasn’t watching his every move now but feeling drained Stone asked his Captain if he could head home for a few hours to unwind a bit for tonight, he agreed saying “Yeah why, not go get some shut eye, I’ll look after things here, I’ll ring if anything changes, now go.” 


Now back at home Mark took a shower then after sat drinking his coffee while reading the paper trying to relax but then there was a knock on his door, now feeling annoyed Mark got up and looking through the spy hole was surprised to see Det Ann Jones.

Mark opened the door and looking somewhat puzzled and said “What are you doing here, how do you know where I live?” Det Ann Jones replied “I’m a detective remember and I’m bearing gifts” holding up a bag of pastries. Mark opened the door wider allowing Ann to squeeze through brushing her breasts against his body, Mark felt a rush of excitement stir in his trousers as he closed the door behind her. Ann made her way into the kitchen, taking a deep breath smelling the coffee she pointed asking “Do you mind?” “Help yourself” Mark replied with a smile on his face while he passed her a cup. They both sat at the kitchen table eating the pastries and drinking their coffee. Ann decided it was time to leave and as she got up Mark grabbed her by the arm pulled her close and gently kissed her on the lips, which then turned passionate as they unbuttoned each other's shirts. Mark then took hold of Ann by her waist, carried her back over to the table, placed Ann on her back, he stood up right in between Ann's open legs, removing his trousers exposing his huge hard dick. He then got hold of Ann's panties and slid them down her long legs dropping them on the floor beside his feet. Mark lifted Ann’s legs up from under her knees and pulled her closer allowing his dick to touch the lips of Ann’s wet twitching pussy sending an erotic quiver all over Ann’s body as Mark pushed his dick in hard deep, he began slow and sensual at first as he moves his mouth to Ann’s breasts licking, sucking around her nipples, causing Ann to arch her back up and moan with pleasure, she grips onto Mark’s waist digging her nails into his skin thus turning him on even more making him push his dick in harder and faster, their moaning louder, the table moving back and forth under their hot swaying bodies, food falls to the floor, coffee spilling over the cups but they don’t notice their in the midst of sex and they like it. Mark is thrusting hard and fast, Ann is getting overwhelmed, she’s soaking wet with all her juices, she feels like she about to cum all over Mark’s dick inside her but she doesn’t want to this is so good, Mark is breathing hard against Ann’s neck making her skin tingle with goosebumps. Mark starts getting faster and faster pushing in deeper and deeper, he’s about to explode Ann can sense it, then all of a sudden there it is she can feel him cuming up deep inside as he keeps pushing, his dick is twitching Ann enjoyed the sensation, Mark slowed down looked at Ann, kissed her and slowly pulled his dick out.


Mark  held out his hand and helped her off the table then turned away giving Ann some privacy to sort herself out, he asked Ann if she like to take a shower to freshen up and as she made her way to the bathroom Mark gave her a gentle squeeze on her arm smiled and asked if she was ok, Ann nodded then took her shower.


Just as they had both cleaned themselves and got dressed they noticed the mess in the kitchen, laughing they tidied up when the phone rang. It was the captain saying it’s time and explained that Sean was at the apartment sorting thing was good to go, so off they went back to the station to go through things. Mark was still feeling aroused, he noticed Ann’s face was flushed and he wondered if this would ever happen again or even if it should but it was bloody good.

      



CHAPTER EIGHT….


Louise was at home enjoying a relaxing bubble bath, drinking wine, listening to her favourite music wondering how tonight would go because she wasn't too happy with the way things went on their first meeting. Louise likes to be in charge and she definitely wasn’t before but she’s going to make bloody sure she will be tonight. 


Listening to the rain hammer on her bedroom window Louise was deciding what to wear when all of a sudden a massive rumble of thunder followed by a huge crack of lightning which lite up her apartment, it gave Louise a fright so she turned her music  just then the apartment was shrouded in darkness as the power went out. “Damn where’s the bloody candles” trying to search in the dark, then remembering her phone has a torch, turned it on she found and lite her emergency candles making her bedroom glow with the flickering flame which looked nice but was no good for putting makeup on, so resting her phone against the wine bottle lighting up the mirror Louise carried on getting ready for tonight.


After putting on her usual sexy lace panties and bra Louise decided to wear her new deep purple coloured dress together with her black clutch bag and black high heels. Louise was feeling nervous which was unusual for her “maybe it’s just the weather” she thought looking everywhere for an umbrella, finding it at last, Louise did her normal last look in the hallway mirror making sure she looked good then off she went.


Sean now in his fake apartment could hear the thunder storm and hoping that it won’t put Louise off the meeting as he’s making sure the hidden cameras and microphones all work, testing them out with the police officers who are already there checking video and sound quality. Sean is getting nervous so he sits down on the sofa taking in deep breaths to calm himself down, he’s done this type of work a million times but this time with Louise felt different, he felt and saw the evil deep behind her eyes the first time they met, he just couldn’t shrug off the suspicion that she knew this was a trap. There was a knock at the door, “It was way too soon for Louise so who could it be?” he thought getting into character just in case, but as he opened the door he saw Det Mark and Captain James was there asking if he’s ok. 

There was little over an hour to wait so the three of them went through the plan one last time before they had to leave.



Everyone is on edge, Sean poured himself a drink while next door Det Stone and Captain James were pacing back and forth, all three listening waiting for the knock on the door.


The rain was bouncing off the sidewalk as Louise made her way around the maze of puddles hoping the rain won’t spoil her new shoes. It took a bit longer to get to Sean’s apartment with the street and traffic lights down it was mayhem, car horns blasting, people running trying to get out of the rain, Louise just felt like going back home until her phone pinged, she received a message from Sean so standing in a shop doorway Louise read it releasing it was Sean saying “See you soon x.” With a sense of renewed excitement Louise sped up her pace and arrived at his apartment a little wet but all and all ok.   


Shaking the raindrops off her umbrella and placing it by the door Louise knocked and waited.


Sean jumped as he heard the knock of the front door, he went to answer knowing there is a killer on the other side, his heart was pounding fast and after calming himself down he opened the door and greeted Ruby with a big smile and invited her inside.


Captain James and Det Stone heard the door open and close, making sure they had their guns at the ready. Det Stone very quietly radioed the other officers “It’s a go, everyone stay quiet and be ready to move in” as they exited their apartment and headed outside Sean's.


Once inside Ruby notices how bare his home looks, there’s nothing personal like photos or anything, it’s just so cold looking. Sean invites Ruby to sit and asks her what she’d like to drink, smiling she said “I don’t mind just whatever your having is fine by me” so Sean poured her a glass of wine while they sat on the sofa talking.


Ruby was on edge, she still felt there was something about Sean so she started asking questions “What do you do for work? Have you been doing it for long? Have you just moved in? Why’s there no photos of you or family?” The questions just kept coming all the while Sean was trying his best to answer them until he finally said “What’s with all the questions, I thought we were here to have fun, I am paying for it after all” handing Ruby the money.


Outside Sean's apartment Det Stone was getting worried and mentioned to Captain James “Do you think she suspects something, she’s asking way too many questions for my liking” Captain James shook his head and just said “Wait he knows what he’s doing” but  Det Stone had his doubts.


After their glasses were empty Sean placed a hand under Ruby’s chin and guided her in for a kiss, their tongues touched which repels Sean but he kept going, Ruby felt the quick pull away of his tongue but carried on, she placed a hand on his knee moving her hand all the way up towards his zip but this time Ruby couldn’t feel his cock twitching with excitement, she pressed her hand on harder, squeezing it but still nothing, feeling a bit confused Ruby starts to undo his zip but Sean puts his hand on top of hers to stop her. Ruby pulls away and they stop kissing, she asks “What’s wrong I thought this is what you want?” Sean apologised and explained he just had had a bad day at work, getting some more wine and taking a big drink he goes back and starts kissing Ruby again more passionately this time but thinking of Ann the other detective on this case which actually to his surprise turned him on.


While in the midst of their kiss Ruby very slightly opens her eyes and notices Sean was looking at something behind her, quickly closing them again Ruby pulls away asking where the bathroom is, Sean points to the door saying “Last door on your right.” Ruby picks up her bag and as she walks to go, she passes past the place where she thinks Sean was looking at and sees a small red light. Straight away Ruby knows exactly what it is, the rage starts to build up inside closing the bathroom door behind her.


There was silence in Captain James and Det Stone earpieces, they were both now starting to get worried but there was nothing they could do until Sean said the code word.


Ruby was looking at herself in the mirror thinking what to do next, was it just her imagination getting the better of her or is that really another camera, she’s so pissed off now, storming out the bathroom Ruby goes straight to the bookcase to double check but Sean was standing there in her way trying to look cool calm trying to move Ruby away back to the sofa, Sean asked her “What’s wrong are you ok?” but as soon as he saw her face Sean knew the game may be up.


On the other side of the door Captain James whispered quietly in his radio for everyone to be ready, he thinks this is going south and real quick. They take their guns out ready.


Sean could see Ruby’s eyes were dark with rage, her whole body language had changed, she wouldn’t sit down, Ruby was pacing hands on her hips contemplating what do do next, her heart was pounding so loud, she could see Sean talking but couldn’t hear a word, Ruby turned, pointed at Sean shouting “Shut the fuck up” then walked to the bookcase and pulled out the hidden camera yelling “What the fuck is this doing here? Who the fuck are you cause I know your not who you said you are? Do you know who I am?” but before Sean could answer she shouted “I’m a fucking cop, I could arrest you for this shit” Still pacing Sean was trying to calm Ruby down telling her “I was going to show you later, I thought we could have some fun, you know just the two of us, I was going to get rid of it after we watching, look I’ll delete it now” trying to get the camera from her but Ruby was having none of it and threw the camera on the floor smashing it.


Ruby was in an absolute rage. Everyone could hear her especially Det Stone and the Captain but still no safe word so they held their ground on the other side of the door. 


Ruby stopped pacing, looked at Sean and screamed out with such venom “The last guy who filmed me died” Sean keeping his cool asked “Ruby what the hell do you mean, how the fuck did he die?” replying with such hatred  “My name is not Ruby, it’s Louise” picking up her bag, walking round the apartment to the back of the sofa where Sean is sitting, she opened her bag, got out her vintage hairpin at the same time saying “I stabbed him in the neck just like this.”


BROKEN RUBY, BROKEN RUBY. It was like time had slowed down, Louise pulled Sean's head back by his hair as Det Stone kicked in the front door shouting “Drop it Louise it’s over” everything had slowed down as if in slow motion as Louise raised her arm bringing it down with such force, Sean throws himself to the side, at the same time there’s a loud explosion, Louise lets go of Sean’s hair, she’s looking Det Stone straight in his eyes, while she drops to the floor never letting go of her hairpin, the hairpin that saved her from her step father.

 

It was over in seconds but felt like hours as the other officers came running in making sure Det Louise Smyth was dead, there was no mistaking it, Louise was dead with a bullet hole right between the eyes.


Det Mark Stone handed his gun over to his Captain and walked out never looking back at Louise again.
