Diamond Delights.
Standing outside the club, wearing skimpy diamante shorts, cut off sleeve shirt and a diamante cowboy hat with blue high stilettos. The stars were shining like crystals in the clear night sky, a rumble of thunder in the far distance. Tapping her foot, Diamond stands waiting for her music to start, the club doors open, that's her cue, she makes her way in the crowded room as though she’s in slow motion, head tilted down with one hand on her hat holding it low concealing her face, with every beat of the music Diamond takes a step with her long dark sexy legs, swinging her hips left then right making her way closer to the stage. The lights go off, the music pulsing like a beating heart as the lights turn on the T shaped stage illuminating the four steps at the front, exposing the cold metal pole standing alone in the middle.
The heart beat stops, then…. BOOM… a flash of light, Diamond takes a step up…BOOM… another flash, Diamond takes another step up…BOOM… with another flash, she steps up again and rips open her shirt… BOOM…fourth step up onto the stage… Diamonds head is still looking down as she grabs the pole with one hand, walks around facing the front, the music starts, with a flash of light Diamond swiftly lifts her head throwing her hat to the floor, hair flinging around, she pulls off her shirt, slides down the pole to the floor, spreads her legs wide exposing her inner thighs, rubs her crotch over her shorts then arches her back pulling herself up, turns round undoes her shorts sliding them down over her ample ass cheeks, bending over, legs straight, ass in the air, Diamond takes one foot out and flings her shorts away with the other, hands placed on her ass, she spreads her cheeks and gives a seductive wiggle she leans around smiling noticing the dollar bills been thrown on the stage, the lights go off, the beating of the music starts, they flash on as Diamond flings her hip to the left grabbing the pole with her right hand, she starts lifting herself to the top, she spread her legs wide whilst spinning round showing her inner thighs, sliding to the floor onto her knees, hand gliding over big well-rounded bodacious breasts down to her crotch feeling between her legs, thrusting her pelvis back and forth right in front of the horney men at the front of the stage. As she stands up Diamond holds on the pole, lifts herself upside down, wraps one leg round, releases her hands and exposing her wonderful breasts balancing upside down in her small diamante clad blue bra. The atmosphere in the room is electric, the men and some ladies couldn't believe their eyes. Diamond owned the stage, demanded the room. She was tall, lean, dark glistening skin with her long dark hair draping over her huge breasts, Diamond is beautiful and she knows it.
Diamond stands upright back facing the crowd, unties her bra, as she spins round Diamond strips it off, faces everyone revealing her huge glistening breasts, the audience whistles and yells throwing more money on stage.
With the music playing, her hips gyrating, her ass shaking, Diamond flaunts her sexually explicit routine knowing she's turning on the men, knowing they’re getting aroused with their cocks throbbing in their trousers, and hoping the ladies pussies are twitching with excitement, Diamond is enjoying herself she loves the attention, the money and the feeling of being in command of the room. She eyes the room noticing an elegant looking guy in one corner and a gorgeous lady in another corner, so she focused on the guy, she wants him, she wants his cock fucking her ass, her pussy started twitching she put her hand on it, looking directly at him, wanting him even more. Diamond turns to face the lady in the opposite corner, picturing her sliding her fingers into Diamonds wet juicy pussy, she's feeling so horny doing her routine, thrusting and gyrating against the cold metal pole, touching and squeezing her breasts, spreading her legs exposing her crotch, feeling, rubbing her wet crotch turning everyone on, making everyone want to fuck her.
Diamond's job is done, everyone is horny as fuck, the problem is so is Diamond, so who should she pick, the elegant extremely good looking guy in one corner or the gorgeous lady in the other.
CHAPTER TWO….
The lights go down, Diamond put her shirt back on, still feeling aroused she walks off stage, the lights were still low, Diamond had to make her way through the hordes of horny men wanting to touch her body and feel her breasts but they knew the rules, definitely ‘no touching the girls’. Trying to find the guy in the dark corner but not being able to see him anymore, feeling a bit disappointed, Diamond heads to the bar for a drink, then there he is, leaning on his elbow against the bar like in a cowboy movie, he nods his head and smiles. Diamond slowly walks over feeling aroused with a yearning for his touch.
Now standing face to face, drinks in hand, looking into each other's eyes, he introduces himself as Jake. Diamond wants him so much, she's desperately wanting his touch especially now she's so close, wanting his lips on hers, she doesn't feel in command anymore, it’s like she’s under his spell. He leans in for a kiss. Diamond's legs go weak with his sexy masculine scent, she wants him so much, her pussy is twitching, getting wet with the anticipation for what comes next.
Jake takes Diamond's hand and escorts her to a side room, once inside she notices the low lighting, a crescent shaped sofa, mirrored walls and the stripper pole.
Jake stands Diamond in the middle of the room, he takes her wrists raising her arms up above her head then Jake whispered in Diamonds ear “Keep them there” as he slides his hands down her soft silky arms, opening Diamonds shirt exposing her huge breasts, grabbing them firmly in his hands bringing his mouth closer, Jake begins to lick around her nipple, kissing her sweet succulent huge breasts, Diamond moans with pleasure her hands gripping tight to the pole above her head.
Jake places his hands at the side of Diamond’s breasts and slowly, seductively begins trailing his fingers down to her sides. Diamond can feel the heat of his breath on her skin as he reaches her stomach causing her to get goosebumps across her body. He grips the waistband of her shorts and slowly pulls them down removing Diamond’s thong at the same time. His mouth is gently touching Diamond’s skin sending electric pulses running through her body. She starts breathing heavily inwardly begging for more wanting him inside her so much but Jakes incharge now and Diamond likes it, she likes it a lot.
Jake kicks Diamond’s clothes away as he kneels down, his mouth is at her wet pussy, he works his tongue in between the lips, caressing it’s way in slowly but with purpose. Diamond opens her legs wider, wanting him in deeper, with Jake is on his knees, sliding a hand towards her pussy he pushes his fingers in with his tongue, this made Diamond tense her body gripping onto the pole tighter arching her back with this erotic ecstasy, Jake grabbed Diamond’s leg lifting it over his shoulder, squeezing her ass tight pulling her closer, his fingers going in deeper moving together with his tongue, flicking her clit fast, shes moaning so loud enjoying this so much Diamond’s leg is quivering her pussy is dripping, she feels as though she going to squirt over his face so she releases her grip on the pole and holds on to his head, her pussy is twitching so fast, Diamond says gasping for breath “I need to sit down I can’t stand up anymore” so Jake stops, looks up with a wet face, puts her foot back onto the floor and stands up.
Jake guides Diamond’s hands to his cock, she can feel how hard he is while rubbing it over his trousers, his cock starting to swell bigger so Diamond begins to undo his buttons, one by one feeling his cock getting bigger, throbbing ready to burst out. Diamond pulled his cock out and began rubbing the shaft hard and slow, gradually getting faster, Jake is leaning his head back looking up to the ceiling groaning with pleasure, as shes wanking with one hand she squeezes his balls with the other, rolling them between her fingers then Diamond slides down the pole onto her knees taking his throbbing cock into her wet mouth, swirling her tongue around from the tip all the way to the base, taking his cock all the way in deep. Diamond smiles listening to Jake’s groaning getting louder, knowing how excited Jake is she starts sucking harder and faster, wanking him off at the same time. Jake wants her more than ever now, debating what position to put her in.
Diamond made that decision for him, she walked over to the sofa, placed her elbows on the seat and faced her ass towards Jake asking “Front or back” with a wink, “I want your ass” he replied as he stepped out of his trousers and stood behind Diamond nudging her legs open with his, he slapped her ass hard leaving a hot red handprint. He spreads her cheeks inserting his cock gently right into that tight ass, little by little he goes in, deeper and deeper holding on to one shoulder, gripping his other hand on her hip, Jake starts thrusting faster getting into a rhythm, he’s breathing hard, groaning with every thrust, Diamond is screaming feeling his hard cock deep inside her ass, she holding onto the top of the sofa, her hair hanging to one side swaying as their bodies rocking in time with each other, they’re getting hot and sweaty breathing hard and fast, Jake slaps her ass again, he pulls out turning Diamond round, said “Open up” holding his cock he explodes his load in her mouth watching her swallow his cum with some dripping down her chin landing on Diamond’s breasts, she looks up smiling, raises an arm for Jake to help her back to her feet.
There was a knock on the door, the manager shouted through the closed door for Diamond as she was due back on stage soon. They started getting dressed, the chemistry was strong between one and other, they both wanted more but knew it would have to wait for another day, Jake placed $1000 on the sofa, gave Diamond a tender kiss on the cheek and then left, closing the door behind him.
Diamond picked up the money, went back into the dressing room to clean herself up and got changed listening to the music in the bar, all the whistling, clapping and cheering at the other dancers. She couldn’t decide what outfit to put on so she tossed a coin, heads for black panther using the pole or tails for sexy maid using a chair, it landed on tails, “Sexy maid it is” she said to herself. Getting dressed all she could think of was Jake wondering if he's still out there. She had to put him out of her mind to concentrate on the routine.
Putting on her white stilettos that match the sexy underwear under her maids outfit, as she’s standing at the side of the stage waiting for her turn Diamond goes through her dance in her mind. The last pole dancer is just collecting her money off the stage floor as an assistant is putting Diamond’s chair in place on stage ready for her to start. The lights go out, Diamond rushes out to get into position with the back of the chair facing the crowd, and her side to the crowd, a foot up on the chair, one hand on her hip the other in the air in a sexy pose, she stands there waiting for her music.
The spot light shines over Diamond, the slow sexual music starts playing, she caresses her leg slowly down then up on the chair arching her back thrusting out a hip, she slides the chair across the floor spreading her legs gently dropping to the floor, showing her white lacy panties as her dress slightly rides up her ass cheeks. Diamond faces the crowd of horny men lusting after her as she leans forward resting her body on the floor exposing the top of her breasts under the lacy bra, she pushes herself, up slides her legs together, spins around on her ass facing the chair, tilting her head back letting her hair sway down her back, then spins the chair round, goes on her knees, slowly stands up. Now with straight legs, hands flat on the chair Diamond pushes out her ass showing her white panties again, she can hear the crowd but wondering if Jake is still watching, spinning round to face everyone she sits, legs wide apart, she grips her outfit in the middle and with a flash of light pulls it open revealing her voluptuous breasts bouncing with every breath she takes. Diamond stands letting it drop to the floor she kicks it away as she turns round sitting back on the chair back facing everyone she undoes her bra, throws it to one side, turns her head blows a kiss to the men who are still throwing money at her, she stands up walks slowly and seductively with the beat of the music throwing her hips out left, right, left, right, she’s closer to the crowd now, they are putting notes in the waist of her panties, Diamond can feel their sweaty hands, smell the alcohol on their breath but Diamond is a professional and ignores it all as she slides down nearly into the splits pushing out her breasts, squeezing them together, rolling them round in her hands, she starts to stand up, knees first, rests hands on the chair to stand, she bends over putting a hand between her legs and rubs her pussy turning her head facing the crowd, thats when she notices the woman from earlier watching, the lights go off the music still playing Diamond removes her panties and covers her pussy with both hands just as the lights go up, standing there pretending to looked shocked but smiling, the money is being tossed on the stage thick and fast, the music stops, the lights go off, Diamond removes her hands exposing her nude glistening body for everyone to see or so they think.
As she’s running off stage the assistant starts collecting her money until she’s ready to help after putting her robe on.
Backstage Diamond’s getting dressed while counting her cash, when she hears her manager shout “There's someone to see you, are you decent”? Wondering who it could be she shouts back “Yes let them in”. After a few seconds, in walks the lady from the crowd, holding her hand out and introducing herself as May, they shake hands Diamond offers a chair for May to sit on while she gets dressed. May starts saying “ I really enjoyed both of your performances, you looked very professional and the crowd loved you. How many nights do you work?” Diamond looked at May “ Well thank you, I work when I really want to, I’m my own boss” she replied. They finish their drinks in the dressing room first as Diamond sorts herself out, then go out to the front and sit at a table. May couldn’t take her eyes off Diamond, she thought she was so beautiful, her skin so soft, sparkling with her body glittering under the lights, as Diamond crossed her legs, May noticed how long and smooth they were. She was imagining them wrapped around her body which made Mays lady parts tingle. May wanted to lean in for a kiss but she wasn't sure what Diamond was into so she held back, for now anyway.
The two ladies sat for a while talking and flirting. May wanted her so much and after having a few more drinks felt the courage to lean in for a kiss, to her delight Diamond responded, it felt amazing, May wanted more, Diamond could tell so she took her by the hand to the same room she took Jake. As soon as the door closed behind them May spun Diamond round and undone the zipper on her dress and watched it fall to the floor, noticing Diamond was naked May grabbed her breasts squeezing them as well as sucking on her nipples, one at a time, Diamond was shocked how much May wanted her, May was guiding Diamond to the sofa while continuously sucking her breasts, it was though May was a totally different woman than a few minutes ago. She pushed Diamond down onto the sofa “Wow, slow down girl it's not a race, we have a couple of hours, let's take our time and enjoy this”, but May wasn’t listening, she was enthralled with the thrill, the excitement of it all as May spread Diamond’s legs wide apart, gliding her fingers sensually down her legs, her fingernails trailing backup all the way to Diamonds now wet pussy, May looked at Diamond and said “May I?” Diamond shrugged her shoulders and replied “Why the hell not”. Before the sentence was out of her mouth May had her fingers already in, playing with Diamond’s pussy and working her tongue in too. The feeling was amazing, Diamond couldn’t believe shes being eaten out for a second time in one night, she smiled thinking “What a slut” as May was fingering her clit Diamond couldn’t stop quivering with the erotic feeling inside her, she could hear her cum squelching with the movement of May’s fingers fucking her cunt. May slowly pulled out her fingers, looked at Diamond and stuck them deep into her own mouth licking Diamonds cum off. When May was finished she lay Diamond on her back, straddled her, Diamond at last could slide her hands under May’s top feeling her breasts, thinking how firm they are while May took her top off over her head. Diamond realised May had no underwear on, she could feel her pussy on her body, Diamond began to edge May up her body to the point May was sitting on her face, with her arms under May’s legs holding and squeezing her ass, Diamond’s tongue slid straight into May’s drenched cunt. May was holding onto the back of the sofa, grinding her hips with excitement, May wanted this for months, always watching, hoping one day Diamond would take her to this room, she couldn’t believe this was happening, her dreams have come true, but then, May remembered, Diamond was just in here with another man, her mind was flooding with images of her with him, she wanted to feel special, how could she? May was now getting angry and shouted “Stop”! then climbed off demanding Diamond to answer “Did you just fuck some one else in here before me”? Diamond was taken aback, not understanding what just happened, one minute they were enjoying each other, then the next minute this, Diamond is so confused. She sits up, puts her dress back on, sorts her hair out and asks “What's just happened? Why are you asking me this crap, I thought we were having fun? You know what I do for a living, did you think there was more to this?” How could Diamond do this to me? May thought, making her feel dirty as she put her clothes back on. Not looking at her again, May dashes out the room crying making her way to the exit but a security guard grabbed her by the arm, looked at her purse and said “You need to pay the lady”. Wiping the tears away she took the money out and threw it at him, as he caught it he said “Have a nice evening Miss”.
Diamond wasn’t surprised this happened, it’s not the first time and probably won’t be the last, she walked to the backstage area weaving in and out the drunken punters, Diamond is so popular at the bar everyone wants a bit of her in more ways than one, sometimes they get a bit handsy trying to grab her breasts, but tonight she was tired and just wanted to go home so she got dressed and headed home, Diamond was done for the night.
Once back home Diamond poured herself a big glass of wine, put her money away in her home safe then decided to have a long hot soak with a bubble bath letting the bubbles wash over her body as she closed her eyes listening to them popping away. Feeling clean and relaxed she made her way to a lovely soft comfortable bed with her wine, read a book for a while then drifted off to sleep.
CHAPTER THREE….
The morning is Diamond’s favourite time of day, with the sun is rising over the horizon she watches the rain lightly drizzling down, with the birds dancing under the rain drops and catching worms, she can smell the scent of earth flowing through the morning air from the light breeze, Diamond sitting on the verandah looking over the steam as she sips a hot cup of coffee, she notices a rainbow, her eyes traced it falling behind the distant hills wondering what’s at the end.
Back inside Diamond starts counting the money from last night, singing away to the music on the radio feeling happy when she thinks she heard a noise outside, turning the music off Diamond looked out the window but there was no one out there, shrugging her shoulders Diamond goes back to getting on with her day. Soon after there was a knock at the front door, when she opened it Diamond saw a package on the step, wondering what it is and who it’s from, she takes it inside and places the box on the kitchen table, gets a knife and slowly opens it up. To her shock inside was a box full of black rose heads, she tips them all out on the table looking and finding a note, it read “Your mine and only mine, xx”. Diamond had no idea who sent this, it made her nervous not knowing, so she scooted them back into the box and pushed it to one side.
Diamond was meeting a friend for lunch but as she reached her car she noticed there was a flat tyre, taking a closer look she realised it had actually been slashed then walks around to check the others and there’s another one slashed too, “First the rose heads now this, what the hells going on?” she thought. Feeling a bit shaken, Diamond went back inside and rang her close friend Ron who owns a garage. Diamond explained about her tyres and the roses, he was worried and told her he’d be straight round, stay inside and to lock her doors. Diamond was very disappointed having to cancel her lunch date.
About half an hour later Ron turned up with his tow truck, looked at the car puzzled at why someone would do this, Diamond opened the front door to let him in, sitting at the kitchen table she shows him the box and its contents, even more worried about his friend now Ron asked “Who have you pissed off now cause someone’s not happy with you babe”. That’s when Diamond told him about the night before at work and mentioned May’s name. “Do you mean May Sims, slim, short hair about thirty years old?” With a questerning look across his face, Diamond shrugged, with an unknowing look on her face, replied smiling “I don’t ask for surnames, but the description sounds about right, why do you know her?” Ron sighed, took a deep breath and told her all about May, how she’s known for stalking plus being obsessive with ex partners and to be careful coming home from work late at night.
Ron said he should get Diamond’s car on his truck to take it away to get it fixed so she has it back for tonight. Once it’s up and ready to go, Ron gets in and shouts “I’ll bring it back soon, see you later” then drives off. Now without her car Diamond’s at home getting her outfit ready for her work tonight feeling a little nervous about who will be in the crowd.
A few hours later a co-worker of Ron’s came by to deliver Diamond’s car back, she asked “How much do I owe?” He shouted back “On the house,” waved and drove off in the truck back to the garage.
Diamond was happy to have her car back driving to work later that evening. She entered the strip club and headed straight to the bar for a stiff drink to take the edge off, after the day she had Diamond needed it.
Backstage the other dancers were all getting ready, talking, laughing and helping each other put on their outfits. Out the front, the club was getting busy and loud with punters enjoying their drinks, talking and starting to have a good time.
The lights go low, the music starts, the first of the dancers begins her routines. Punters in the front row throwing their hard earned cash on stage wanting and desperately waiting for the dancers to strip. As they were on stage Diamond looks out to the crowd wondering if Jake or May are there, she can’t see them yet but that’s not to say they're not in, she then spots Ron, “What the hell, he’s never here, why now?” feeling slightly puzzled but trying not to think anymore about it, Diamond carried on getting ready.
It was now Diamond’s turn but this time she won't be on the stage, this time Diamond will be walking around the audience, having one to one interactions. Diamond really enjoys this part, getting up close and personal with the punters.
The lights go down so no one could see Diamond walking to the back of the bar, she stands in position, her music starts and lights shine on the stage showing two other dancers. Diamond’s pulsing music starts playing, the two dancers point towards Diamond’s direction, everyone turns round wondering what they were pointing at. A spot light flashes on and there she is, Diamond standing in a red lace bra covered in diamantes, red diamante lace thong with thigh high red leather heeled boots. She looks so sexy, so hot and gorgeous, the crowd goes wild, whistling and cheering. Diamond’s music starts, moving forward she flings her hips out with every step. She walks around the room running her fingers through people's hair, seductively tickling their ears with her long nails, leaning in close so they feel her breath against their skin sending erotic waves throughout their bodies.
She walks behind, wrapping an arm around a punters neck trailing it around to the front, with the beat of the music she faces him, Diamond bends forward places her hands on his thighs and spreads his legs, turns round bends over, wiggles her ass in his face, she looks round and whispers “Bite me, I like the pain” as he did so she could feel a tingle between her legs loving the sensation. Diamond continues dancing seductively, she spots someone that takes her fancy, Diamond reaches him, he gets nervous wondering what’s to come. Diamond starts to straddle placing her ass on his legs, gyrating her crotch against his cock feeling it move under his trousers between her legs, she squeezes her voluptuous breasts in her hands then shoves them in his face and tells him “Lick my puppies” he couldn’t believe his luck. Getting up Diamond starts moving round the room, money was being rammed into her thong, she headed to a security guard for him to look after it.
All of a sudden she spotted Jake, he didn’t notice so Diamond carried on to another punter, he’s good looking and very fuckable. Diamond is feeling so horney her pussy is twitching she wants someone to touch her, even fuck her, so she sits on another mans lap, asked his name he answered “Mark” as she takes his hand in hers, bringing his fingers towards her wet pussy, Diamond brushes them against her, which sends a fantastic shiver throughout her body, looking deep into Marks eyes Diamond want’s him so much, want’s his cock inside her pussy, she so wet and horney Diamond gets up leaving a wet patch of her cum on his leg. Mark touches it, getting aroused with the smell of her scent, his cock starts throbbing in his shorts, god he wants her so much watching as she walks round the room collecting more money, exciting more punters, touching, teasing, titillating, turning everyone on. Glancing round the room taking note of who’s in tonight she sees Jake, May and Ron, remembering what Ron said about May, this made Diamond nervous again, but Diamond always the professional carried on with her routine.
Jake is at a table with three other people, one man and two ladies, they all seem to be enjoying themselves, drinking, laughing and just having a good time, she then looks for May, wondering where she is, with it being dark inside the club it took a few minutes to find her, she’s standing in a corner again but this time May is with a man getting up close and very personal. May noticed Diamond looking in her direction, she smiled and gave a nod then turned her attention back to her gentleman friend. Seeing the two of them together Diamond realised it wasn’t May that sent her the black flower heads and slashed her tyres. Now she has no idea who it could be.
Diamond looked around for Ron, as she was still moving around the room dancing one on one with the punters. She notices Mark standing up looking at her smiling, their eyes lock onto one and other, she wants him so much, Diamond walks to him as her music finishes, she takes Mark’s hand, pulling him towards a table, they sit talking for the rest of the night and for the first time in ages Diamond feels a personal connection, she asks him to wait while she gets changed and invited him back to hers.
Diamond got up making her way backstage. She saw Ron watching, thinking nothing of it. Diamond smiled and waved, Ron just nodded, stood up and walked out. Diamond sighed not knowing what she’s done wrong but she thought he’s not going to spoil the rest of her night because she really likes Mark.
They both took their own cars to Diamond’s house, the roads were empty at this time of night, the only light Diamond could see was from Mark’s car following behind, this gave her a bit of comfort knowing she's not alone.
As she got to the bottom of her driveway, Diamond noticed there was a light on in the house, she couldn’t remember leaving it on but thought nothing of it knowing she had a lot on her mind when she left for work. They both got out of their cars and stood at the bottom of the stairs in front of her front door, it was open. Diamond was frightened, she started telling Mark about this morning so he suggested they should get in her car and to ring the police straight away.
It was about 10 minutes later the police arrived, not knowing who Mark was yet they told Mark and Diamond to stay in the car while they searched the house and garden, when they were given the all clear the police ushered them inside and took a statement from Diamond as she told them about earlier and gave them the box of flower heads. When the police felt it was safe to leave Diamond asked Mark if he’d stay the night, he agreed. They sat talking and drinking wine until the early hours of the morning. Mark told Diamond he would sleep on the sofa and suggested she go to bed.
In the early hours of the next morning there was a pounding on the front door waking them both up, still feeling sleepy. Diamond answered, it was the police with Det Alan and they looked worried, Diamond invited them in as Mark was folding his blanket on the sofa, they walked to the kitchen and she made coffee for everyone.
They all sat at the kitchen table when the police asked if she knew anyone with a pick up truck. Not releasing why they were asking, Diamond said “Yeah my friend Ron, he owns a garage, it was him that fixed my car yesterday, why?” They replied “ We had a patrol car sit in the street all night and noticed one driver passing your house quite a few times, so we have some people looking into him now”. Diamond couldn’t believe what she’s hearing, she's positive it can’t be Ron they've been friends for years. Det Alan gave Diamond some advice about being vigilant while she’s out and about and to get right back in touch if she’s see’s anything or anyone acting strange day or night, he gave Diamond his card and left.
Mark had to go home he had to get showered and changed for work, it was the first day at his new job after being transferred from the city, they stood on the verandah saying their goodbyes, Diamond thanked him for staying over and gave him a kiss on his cheek and gave him her telephone number which she never does normally but there was just something about Mark she couldn’t put her finger on.
Diamond got on with her day feeling good knowing the police are driving round keeping an eye on her house, she still doesn't believe Ron is behind all this, her mobile phone rings she looks at the caller ID, it was Ron, so she answers and as they talk Diamond hears squealing of car tyres outside her house, still on the phone to Ron, Diamond open the front door and was going down her stairs just as there’s a huge explosion, someone had set fire to her car.
Everything was in slow motion as she watched the debris fly up into the sky then fall all around, feeling the heat of the raging fire, the smell of smoke as it filled the air. Diamond looked down to find she was covered in glass. The loud ringing in her ears hurt, it was making it hard for Diamond to hear, now confused, what just happened, Diamond was unable to focus, her eyesight was blurry, her head hurts so much. The force of the blast blew shards of glass out of the windows at the front of her house. Diamond had been thrown onto her back up some stairs.
Ron was still on the phone shouting for Diamond but the call went dead, luckily the police drove passed just as the explosion occurred, they called for backup describing a vehicle that was driving off at speed. The ambulance and fire were also on route. Ron heard the explosion, jumped in his truck and raced to Diamonds to find out what had happened, by the time he arrived the emergency crews were putting the car fire out and Diamond was being put into the back of the ambulance. Ron rang one of Diamond's friends, told her what happened and which hospital to go to while he stayed at the house explaining to the police what happened just now and about yesterday.
Ron couldn’t believe what’s happening to Diamond, first the black flower heads with the note, then her tires getting slashed and now her car being firebombed. Taking a deep breath Ron stands there watching in disbelief wondering and saying out loud “Who the hell would do this?”
CHAPTER FOUR….
A couple of hours later Diamond was still groggy with cuts and bruises on her face, arms and hands lying in her hospital bed answering questions from Det Alan when Ron walks in wanting to know if it’s ok to take her back home but because there was no evidence that Ron had anything to do with what just happened Det Alan looked at Diamond and said shrugging his shoulders “It’s up to you I'm finished here but I’ll pop over to see you later at home when you’ve had time to rest” leaving Diamond and Ron alone.
The drive home was quiet. Diamond had such a bad headache and feeling sick and not knowing what to expect to see when she got home but to her surprise and huge relife her car had already been towed away and most of her windows at the house had new glass in already but some still boarded up. Ron helped Diamond out of the car and up the verandah steps as she was still shaken up, once inside he sat her down on the sofa and made her a cup of coffee.
As Diamond sat drinking her coffee and trying to relax all she could do was think of who’s she’s upset, she certain it’s not Ron he’s been so good to her but as she’s thinking things through Diamond could hear Ron arguing with someone on his phone, it was getting really heated when he shouted “Ok for fucks sake I’m coming.” Ron came back into the lounge room asking Diamond if she would be alright on her own for a while, before she could answer Ron was already out the door.
A couple of hours later Diamond woke up to her phone ringing and when she answered it was Mark, he could hear in her voice she was still a bit groggy so asked to come over to talk as he had something to tell her, feeling a bit intrigued Diamond agreed. Not long after Diamond answered the knock on her front door and there was Mark now looking all official and serious in his dark suit, he let himself in, leaned in, gave Diamond a kiss on the cheek asking if she’s ok, nodding as she closed the door while pointing to a chair for him to sit. To Diamond's surprise Mark pulled out his Det badge and introduced himself as Det Mark Stone and said that he asked to work on her case with Det Alan if she didn’t mind.
Diamond was taken aback, this was definitely not what she was expecting, without saying a word she got up went to the kitchen to make them both a coffee while thinking about it and decided that him working on her case could be a good thing, Diamond did really like Mark, he seemed kind and a straight shooter so Diamond smiled and said “That would be nice, thank you.” Mark pointed to the kitchen table asking “Is it ok if we sit at the table so I can write down my notes on something hard?” Now sitting back in the kitchen Mark asked Diamond to go through everything again just so he had everything right, “Hope you're comfortable cause this might take a while” Diamond took a big sip of coffee then began telling Mark everything from the very beginning to now sitting at the table with him.
Diamond noticed Mark writing everything down, not missing anything out, knowing he was taking this very seriously. Mark asked “Can I have the box of rose heads please?” Diamond explained the police have already took the box away, carrying on Det Stone “I've also been to the garage where your car was towed, I’ve seen the tyres that were slashed, I”ve had them took to the station already, we now have the tech guys looking at the damage to your car trying to find out why it exploded but so far it looks like someone threw a petrol bomb at it, that's why we need to know who you think could have done this?” Diamond was in disbelief “Who the hell have I pissed off so much to hate me this much?” she thought leaning back on her chair feeling upset.
Mark sensed Diamond was getting tired and upset so he stood up, “Right I’m going back to the station, go through all the statements and go from there, will you be ok here?” “Yeah I’ll be fine, I’m going for a lay down” and with that Det Mark Stone left.
CHAPTER FIVE….
It was a few days later Diamond was back at work and as she’s sitting in the dressing room talking to the other girls telling them of what’s been happening to her over the last week or so she noticed Peaches sitting listening but not really taking part in their conversation.
Diamond and Peaches haven't really gotten on very well, they're not what you would call friends, they're polite to each other but that’s about all. Not thinking too much of it, Diamond got up and started walking out the dressing room but Peaches grabbed her arm and quietly said “Be Careful” then walked away leaving Diamond feeling baffled why she would say something like that to her. Diamond was just about to ask but Peaches' music started so she took to the stage.
Diamond was sitting at the bar having a drink when Ron walked in looking for her, he made his way over, sat beside her and ordered a drink, he asked “How's things, is there any news yet, you do know your car’s a right off? There’s nothing left inside apart from this” holding in his hand was Diamond’s good luck crystal that she had hanging over her rearview mirror. Taking it from him Diamond smirked saying “So much for good luck hey.”
Diamond's phone rang, it was Det Stone asking if they could meet up as he had some questions that needed answered, they arranged to meet at her house in an hour. Once off her phone Diamond explained who she was talking to as Ron looked slightly annoyed he had been interrupted, she finished her drink, gave Ron a kiss on his cheek and left, Peaches was still dancing on stage, she noticed Diamond leaving wondering where she’s going in such a hurry.
Peaches noticed Ron looking a bit pissed off watching Diamond leave so after her routine she went over to find out what’s happening, she ordered them both drinks, sat at the bar next to him and putting her hand on his arm asked “ You ok, Where did she go in such a hurry?” Ron replied “That fucking prick of a cop rang, needs to ask more fucking questions so shes gone home to meet him there.” Ron and Peaches sat for a while drinking and talking about who they think could be doing this to Diamond but Peaches started noticing Ron getting more pissed off and the more he drank the angrier he was becoming. Peaches was now a bit concerned and didn’t want to get him more annoyed so she made an excuse and went backstage, she knew Ron liked Diamond but she didn’t realise just how much until now. Feeling safer Peaches popped her head out from the stage curtain and watched Ron storm out, she felt better he was gone but wondered where he was going to.
CHAPTER SIX….
Diamond was sitting on her varandha having a drink when Det Stone turned up, he got out of his car with a big smile on his face and for the first time Diamond realised how good looking he is. As he sat on the chair next to her she handed him a drink which he accepted. They sat for a while not talking but just enjoying the evening sky until Diamond asked “So how long have you been a cop cause I don’t think I’ve seen you around until the other night?” Det Stone began to explain “I was a city cop for years but decided to transfer out not so long ago” he paused looking down he felt sad and continued “after I had to take down a dirty cop, it wasn’t good” he took a drink, Diamond noticed and said “You don’t have to talk about it, it’s fine I’m sorry if I upset you” Mark sighed “Don’t worry I’m fine, it was a job that had to be done. After the inquest it turned out Louise, who was a Detective, was also a hooker who murdered a few of her clients, she called herself Ruby. I thought I knew her but I couldn’t have been more wrong. During the investigation we found out she had a really bad childhood with an abusive step father and an ex boyfriend which seemed to have tipped her over the top. Anyway I’m here to talk about you if that’s ok?” Diamond nodded and asked “Where do you want me to start?” “Well tell me about Ron for example, how long have you known him for, how close of a friend is he, have you two ever, you know dated, things like that?” Diamond was a bit taken aback with all the questions about Ron but she answered them all the best she could and asked “Do you really think he’s something to do with all this shit happening to me? Cause he’s been so nice you know, really helpful, we've been friends for years and only friends, Ron does a lot around town for people without asking anything back in return, I can’t see him doing this, you're definitely looking at the wrong person there.” Mark calmly and slowly replied “I have to look at everyone in your life, it's what I do, now tell me about anyone else you can think of, what about work, are there any problems there?” Diamond shifted in her chair feeling a bit uncomfortable having to talk about people she calls friends but then she thought about the strange comment Peaches made earlier that day telling her to be careful, she told Det Stone asking “Do you think that was a threat or could it have been a warming cause she knows something?” Looking a bit concerned he replied “I’ll have a chat with her tomorrow see what or if she knows anything.” They sat for a while relaxing enjoying each other's company when Mark said “I could get used to this, it's so nice, definitely nothing like living in the city” It was getting late Mark said it was time he should go, getting up he gave Diamond a kiss on the cheek and left. Diamond went inside and as she was locking the door behind her she could hear a car engine idling outside her house, she went to a window and watched a van drive off wondering if that was Ron watching her. Diamond found it hard to sleep that night tossing and turning thinking of what Det Stone said to her about Ron then after seeing the van pull away when he left, Diamond was wondering if that person in the van had been watching the two of them sitting on her verandah, eventually Diamond drifted off, waking up to the sun shining in through her bedroom window.
Normally Diamond enjoys having her morning coffee outside watching the sun burst through the morning mist but today she sat at the kitchen table feeling drained with no energy at all. The phone rang, she really didn’t want to answer it but knew she had to so before she did Diamond took a deep breath then said “Hello” the voice on the other end was a quiet whisper “It’s Peaches, I know we aren't really friends but I think you should know that when you left the club yesterday your friend Ron got really mad and stormed out, I just thought you should know cause of everything that's been going on with you, I’m not saying he’s got something to do with it but I thought you should know” then with that she hung up before Diamond could respond. Her mind was racing so she called Det Stone but he was busy so Diamond was put on the phone to Det Alan, as Diamond was telling him about the van last night and her phone call this morning he wrote everything down then said “I think it would be best for you stay inside with the doors locked until we look into this and either myself or Det Stone will come round later today, are you ok with that? I know this must be frightening but we are looking into everything so please be patient and try not to worry.”
Diamond tried to keep herself busy doing her house work, pulling everything out the kitchen cabinets, washing everything down putting it all back again, once the kitchen was done she went into her bedroom clearing out her wardrobe, now sitting on her bed having a break Diamond realised that she’s made more mess that ever, feeling tired she left the mess in the bedroom and made herself yet another coffee and just relaxed on the sofa watching the telly and before she knew Diamond woke up and it three hours had passed. Now feeling refreshed she made her way into the bedroom and threw everything back in her wardrobe making the room look tidy again then closing the door behind her just as there was a knock at the front door making Diamond jump.
She slowly and quietly made her way to a window to see who was at the door and to Diamond’s relief it was the two detectives.
Diamond invited them in and made coffee for them all, once they all sat down Det Alan spoke first and brought up Diamond’s line of work and if she could think of any customers she may have a problem with, Diamond was about to mention about May but then remembered that the night after May looked quite happy with someone else, nevertheless Diamond did tell them just in case but didn’t go into too much detail as for telling them about Jake she decided to keep him to herself. Det Stone took out his notes and began “We've spoken to the doormen and staff at the club, they don’t seem to be involved so we’re now looking at Ron and his mechanics, didn’t you say his young worker towed your car back to his garage?” Diamond just nodded “I’m going to meet Peaches after here and Det Alan will find this May woman to ask her some questions, but who do you think it could be? Because I’m telling you this, they definitely have a beef with you, that's for sure.”
Diamond had absolutely no idea who was behind these attacks on her, she just wished it was all over. After the two detectives left Diamond poured herself a big glass of wine and just sat at the kitchen table feeling so tired with the worst headache ever thinking to herself “I probably shouldn’t be drinking this but fuck it what else could go wrong?” instantly regretting she thought it. Diamond finished her drink and decided to have a hot soak in the bath to try and relax her tense aching body before heading to bed or an early night, just for a bit of reassurance she decided to keep a light on throughout the night.
Now in a deep sleep Diamond was dreaming about knocking on her front door. Was it a dream, it just kept going until eventually she woke up releasing that there was actually someone at the door. Feeling drowsy Diamond got up put her robe on and looked out the window to see Ron’s young mechanic standing there, feeling a bit scared and unsure if she should open the door so Diamond shouted out through the door keeping it closed “Hi what can I do for you, it’s early so I’m not dressed for visitors?” he shouted back “Sorry Diamond I’m Baz, I work for Ron, I know it’s early, I’m just on my way to work and it’s just that I need to know what you want done with your old car when the police are done with it?” Diamond slowly opened the door a crack apologised for being a bit off with him replying “If it’s burnt to a crisp then just scrap it, thanks for asking” Baz nodded, got on his motorbike and rode off not knowing he’s being watched by Det Alan who followed him in his car straight to the garage where he works.
Diamond made her morning coffee wondering what's going to happen to her today, she’s getting so fed up with everything, no car, some windows still boarded up and nasty parcels plus who is she supposed to trust, sitting there alone Diamond was feeling sorry for herself when her phone rings. At last she gets good news her insurance has come through from her car and she knows exactly what car she wants, the black convertible 2010 Dodge Charger that she's had her eye on for a little while. Now feeling energised Diamond has a quick shower, gets dressed and heads to the car showroom hoping and praying the car is still there, it was and within an hour Diamond was now the proud owner. Pulling out of the car showroom she started driving, with her sunglasses on, the top down on the car, music loudly playing, wind flowing through her hair, Diamond just drove, for the first time in weeks she eventually feels relaxed and happy.
Her phone was ringing but Diamond had no intentions whatsoever of answering she was happy and nothing was going to change that so ignoring it Diamond turned off the highway going up the winding road to the mountaintop, it took a while but Diamond was in no hurry she was enjoying every minute feeling free, singing at the top of her voice as she got to the top. Diamond noticed the wonderful view, finding a parking space she pulled in and just sat there breathing in the mountain fresh air.
Her mind drifted off thinking about how she got to this point in her life. Diamond had a good childhood at first, it was just her mother called Martha and her. She always remembers when she asked her mother why she was called Diamond and Martha always replied “Because when I look into your eyes they twinkle like diamonds in the sky” Diamond’s mother was bringing her up as a single parent until she met a man called Brian. He was nice at first, buying her gifts, helping her with homework and taking them places, but as soon as they got married he changed. Brian turned into a hard man, always shouting calling them both horrible names, he would make Diamond do all her chores and homework before she was allowed to have her dinner, she wasn't allowed to watch the telly after a certain time, she couldn’t have any friends over and definitely wasn’t allowed to use the telephone. Diamond felt trapped and alone as a child growing up so as soon as she was old enough Diamond left home and didn’t look back until now, sitting in the car looking down on the town below.
Diamond came out of her day dream with the sound of thunder rolling in the distance she could see the lightning streaking across the early evening sky, she got out her car put the roof up and started the drive back home before the thunderstorm got close, she didn’t want to drive in the rain especially on these winding roads back down the mountain.
The storm was nearly overhead by the time she got home, the rain was just starting, big heavy drops bouncing on the ground. Diamond ran from her car to the front door just as a huge crack of thunder bellowed above her house. She could hear her phone ringing in the house as she’s fumbling with her key in the lock. At last she was in, running to answer the phone before it stopped. “Hello?” she asked, hearing the phone on the other end being put down. “Damn” she thought, wondering who it would have been.
Diamond loved watching thunder and lightning storms so she made herself a large cup of coffee and sat outside under a blanket taking it all in when as if on cue the power went out “Typical happens every time” saying to herself as she’s lighting the candles beside her. The humidity was starting to rise. Diamond hates the humidity so she decided to go back inside and light as many candles as possible. This storm was going to be here for a while so the electricity would definitely be off all night.
Diamond was just settling down on the sofa with a good book ready to read under the candle light when there was a knock at the door, “Who the hell’s out in this weather” thinking as she answers the door, looking back at her is Det Stone looking like a drowned rat. She opened the door “Det Stone, what are you doing here, quick come on in, let me get you a towel” When Diamond came back with a towel Det Stone had already took his shoes and coat off saying “Please call me Mark, Det Stone sounds too formal” while he’s rubbing his hair dry. “I thought I'd check in on you with there being no power, and who’s is that fine looking car out there, is that your new one cause it looks damn good?” Diamond smiled, feeling good that he likes the car, “Hell yeah that’s mine, come on let's sit down, would you like a drink? They should still be cold” before Mark could answer Diamond was already back with two bottles of beer. They sat there just watching the lightning light up the sky when Mark said “I’ve got a couple of things to mention about your case if you want to hear them?” Diamond took a big swig from her bottle, put it on the table, sat back on the sofa and said “Ok, tell me everything you have.”
Mark started talking about Baz the lad who works for Ron, he explained the Det Alan and spoken to him at length and that Baz was beginning to get worried about Ron’s behaviour, always wanting to drive pass her house at all hours, not wanting anyone to touch her burnt out car and just his attitude in general plus noticing him going to the club Diamond works trying to see her, this concerned Diamond a lot but she kept quiet as Mark continued on. Still thinking that Ron has nothing to do with all this and asking if he had any thoughts about Peaches or even Baz but he just said they're still looking at them.
Sitting in the candle lit room both listening to the rain bouncing on the roof, the thunder crashing and watching through the curtains as the lightning streaks across the sky, Mark thought he’s seen a dark figure run past a window, he grabs his coat forgetting about his shoes, runs outside picking up a flashlight on his way.
Now outside with the rain pouring down his face Mark couldn’t see anyone except for some car tail light in the distance moving away. Could the person in that car be the same person he saw outside Diamond’s house? Feeling pissed and drenched through Mark went back inside to Diamond smiling and pointing the way to the shower, after taking his clothes off Diamond took them to the log fireplace she’s just lit so she could hang his wet clothes to dry.
Diamond noticed Mark had left the door open, she looked in and saw Mark looking straight at her, he smiled while opening the screen door and with a suggestive look invited Diamond to join him.
She stood there, removed her clothes and stepped in joining Mark under what was left of the hot water. Mark took Diamond by the waist, pulled her close, her voluptuous breasts pressed against his wet muscular chest, the water dripping off his face as he leaned in for a kiss. Mark tenderly slips his tongue inside her mouth, their tongues entwined within their passion, Diamond can feel him throbbing as she touches and grabs his cock, he’s getting so turned on as she starts rubbing his shaft up and down, Diamond can feel his firm muscular body tense up with pleasure as he begins moaning, his cock is so hard, Diamond’s rubbing him hard and fast, until Mark spins her round, breasts pressed up against the wall, he spreads her legs wide apart, Diamond can feel his breath against her neck as he whispers “Are you ready?” as soon as he heard Diamond reply “Fuck yes” he lifted one of her legs and slid his huge throbbing cock straight into her pussy from behind. Diamond screamed with the first thrust then as he delved his cock in hard and deep Diamond’s pussy was twitching with the erotic thrill. The water was pouring over them as he plunged deeper, harder and faster, Diamond’s hands pressed up against the wall not being able to grab onto anything driving her wild, then Mark pulls out and before Diamond could catch her breath he turns her round, picks her up with his hands under her ass, he slams them up to the wall and starts ramming her cum soaked pussy hard and fast, over and over again squeezing her ass cheeks hard. They're now both moaning loud, they're both so aroused with the erotic thrill, Diamond can’t contain herself anymore as she lets out a huge groan and squirts cum all over just as Mark explodes his load up deep into her twitching cum filled pussy. They are now both panting fast and hard as Mark pulls his cock out, they kiss as he puts Diamond quivering legs back onto the floor as the water still pours down cleaning them.
Diamond got out of the shower first wrapped a towel round herself and headed into the bedroom to get dressed for bed. Mark wrapped himself then went to retrieve his clothes from in front of the fire, they felt nice and warm as he dressed himself, now sitting on the sofa waiting for Diamond to come into the room Mark was debating with himself if he should stay using the storm as a reason or if he should say his good night and leave, when he noticed there was a breeze coming through from the kitchen. He grabbed his torch and shouted for Diamond to see if she was alright. Diamond opened her bedroom door asking what was wrong when Mark pointed “Did you leave the back door open?” Diamond felt sick to her stomach replying “No it was definitely locked.” Mark gently pushed Diamond back into her room saying “Get back in there close the door until I say it’s ok to come out” she did what he said, Mark was looking around the dark kitchen with his gun and a torch, searching for signs of anyone still inside as he walked slowly to the door to shut and lock it again. Then he remembered the shadow figure he saw outside earlier on, after looking in the kitchen he walked slowly one step at a time around the rest of the dark candle lit house room by room still with his gun drawn, his heart was pounding as he opened the doors into each room, after what felt like an eternity Mark took a deep breath and shouted to Diamond it was all clear.
Mark noticed Diamond was shaken up by this so he decided he would stay the night but on the sofa, Diamond asked “Will you be ok on there, you're welcome to sleep with me?” But Mark felt it was best to stay awake for the rest of the night. As he’s sitting there in the dark listening to the thunder, He suddenly realised that if someone had been in the house did they see them both in the shower having sex, this worried him not just for Diamond’s safety but for him at work, if anyone would to find out that he’d had relations with a victim he could lose his job.
At last the storm had stopped, Mark must have nodded off cause he woke up to the smell of coffee and Diamond sitting opposite him smiling. As they drank their coffee he told Diamond of his concerns about the night before asking her not to tell anyone of what they did and that it should never happen again even though it was amazing, Diamond agreed but deep down she hoped it would happen again. Soon after Mark left but as he did so Mark took a look around the garden to see if there were any footprints in the mud but all he found was a cigarette butt, he picked it up, popped it into a small bag and headed home to get changed into some fresh clothes.
CHAPTER SEVEN…..
Det Alan was sitting at his desk when Mark walked in, commenting “Wow you look rough, late night was it?” Mark began explaining about how he went round to Diamond’s last night because of the powercut and saying he thought he saw someone outside one of the windows plus the back door opened when they were busy talking, smiling he decided to leave out what they were doing to himself and then pulled out the bag with the cigarette butt in holding it up to see if there was any lipstick on it but there wasn’t so they ruled out Peaches for now.
Det Alan noticed the smile across Det Stone’s face and had his suspicions of what they were ‘talking about,’ he gave out a little smirk looking at Mark saying “Talking, yeah right, anyway the boss wants an update on the case this afternoon so we should go through what we’ve got.”
Det Stone was at his desk catching up on paperwork when his phone rang, it was Diamond “Hi, Det, I’ve been sitting here for a while thinking and I'm absolutely pissed off with this person trying to scare me, they’re doing a good job I’ll give them that but I need to get on with my life, so I’ve decided to go back to work and just get on with things like normal, I know your all doing your best but I can’t put my life on hold forever, right?” Mark thought about it for a while then agreed but asked “Can you wait and go back to work tomorrow, we're having a meeting later today and I’ll tell my boss your plans?” Diamond agreed then hung up the phone.
After lunch the two detectives were in the conference room with their boss Lt Ross Clark, he’s probably the most down to earth and nicest person Det Stone has met and holds him in high regards. The Lt brought food and drinks with him for their meeting, he’s sitting there with a huge smile on his face as they walk in “Hi fellas, come sit, I’ve brought snacks so eat up and tell me everything.”
The meeting went on for a while as they discussed all involved in the case starting with the starting with the staff at her work place and basically ruling them all out including Peaches for now mainly because there was no evidence saying otherwise.
Det Alan mentioned about Ron saying “Ron on the other hand, I’m not sure about, he’s always hanging around, he does have a criminal record for fighting in a bar six years ago but thats all, I’d like to keep an eye on him even if it’s just to rule him out, what do you two think?” Stone nodded saying “I agree with that, boss what do you think?” “Yep we’ll keep someone on him for now. How about Baz, any ideas about him? Is he a suspect?” Stone said “He’s just a young man, thinks Ron is the best, so he may do what Ron tells him to do even if it’s against the law, I think we need to bring him in for a formal talk, see how he acts away from Ron.” Stone mentioned the call from Diamond explaining that she just wants to get on with her everyday life and to go back to work Lt Clark agreed that she should as it could draw out the purp, “we’ll keep an eye on her for a bit just in case,” with that the meeting was over.
A few weeks passed, Diamond started to relax a bit more, sitting outside having her morning coffee while watching the birds going about their business in the nearby trees, going out in her new car, with the top down, music blasting, singing away feeling happy not releasing that the police were still keeping an eye on her. Everyone that was a suspect had been interviewed, most people were ruled out except Baz and Ron, Det Stone just couldn’t shake the bad feeling he had about them two, the other detectives thought he was paranoid about them but he didn’t care.
Det Stone had to go out of town for a week he didn’t want to but had no choice, Det Alan was busy working on another case which meant there was no one keeping an eye over Diamond.
It was a Tuesday evening when Ron came into the station and said that no one has seen or spoken to Diamond in a few days. She hasn’t even gone to work which is definitely not like her, especially not going in at a weekend when it’s the busiest time and asked “Could someone go round to her place to check on her as I’m worried.” The officer knew who he was referring to and got in touch with Det Alan straight away explaining what Ron said.
Det Alan and Lt Clark went straight over to Diamond’s place, the first thing they noticed was how dark her house looked and her car in the driveway, Clark touched the bonnet, it was cold with some leaves lying on it “This hasn’t been used in a few days,” they continued towards the house using their flashlights, knocked on the door, there was no answer, they knew there wouldn’t be, looking down they saw three newspapers sitting there, now looking at each other, the feeling in the pit of their stomachs, they know something was wrong, Det Alan tried the door handle, it wasn’t locked, they pulled out their guns and touches, slowly opened the creaking door noticing there was no damage around the lock area. It was dark inside, all the curtains were closed, the air was stifling, the atmosphere tense, the silence was deafening except for their beating hearts pounding in their ears. They walked into the lounge room splitting off into different directions checking for Diamond but there was no sign of her anywhere, not even a sign of a struggle. There was a smell, a sickening rotting stench, they looked at each other wondering where it was coming from. Their stomachs were churning with the anticipation of what they would find, the detectives walked towards the smell, it was getting stronger, they felt sick as they walked into the kitchen, Det Alan turned on the kitchen light, and there it was, covers in flies, sitting on the table was Diamond’s half eaten dinner, the relief was overwhelming as they put the guns away. That’s when they knew something was wrong, they kept looking around then Det Alan spotted it, a couple of spots of blood by the back door, Lt Clark rang for the C.S.I unit to come straight away.
Within an hour the team were working away in the house and after a few hours they found more blood outside, a cigarette butt and car engine oil. A C.S.I member came up to them and explained “It looks like she was taken out the back and into a waiting car, It looks like the car has an oil leak and the driver is possibly a smoker, we’re taking this cigarette butt to the lab for DNA, I’ll put a rush on it and see if we get a match, I’ll be in touch as soon as I get anything.”
Lt Clark and Det Alan went back to the station to talk to Ron in more detail about Diamond and how or even when did he suspect she was missing or even could she could have done this on her own to get away from things, Ron answered “Diamond would never just leave on her own not like this and especially without her new car, I realised she was missing when I hadn’t seen her in the club for a couple of nights so I decided to tell you guys today, I have no clue where she could be or who with so stop asking me these questions and start looking for her, please,” with that Ron stood up and left.
CHAPTER EIGHT….
Diamond is now classed as a missing person, her case is top priority, Lt Clark rang Det Stone telling him the news and to get back as soon as, the conversation didn’t go well, Det Stone was furious that no one had been keeping an eye on her, he felt guilty for going out of town and not being there for her even though he had no option Det Stone had to be at the inquest of the shooting and killing of Det Louise. It was nice to see his old colleagues again, especially Det Jones but very stressful going through all the details about how the undercover operation went down and how he had no choice but to shoot her. Det Stone explained how he has to live with that decision for the rest of his life even though he knew there was no other way.
As soon as Det Stone finished his call from his Lieutenant, Stone jumped straight in his car and drove back home to help find Diamond.
It was a long drive back, it was getting late, the street lights turning on illuminating the way. After several hours Stone was getting tired. It had been a long and stressful day so he decided to pull into a diner and get something to eat and drink. Sitting in a booth enjoying his coffee Stone was starting to feel re-energised, with a full stomach and full of caffeine Det Stone got back in his car and drove throughout the night until early morning straight to the police station so he can find out where they are finding Diamond.
Like a whirlwind Det Mark Stone swung open the door to Lt Clark’s office demanding “What the hell happened, how could this happen right under your nose?” The lieutenant stood up from behind his desk and replied in a stern but quiet voice “Remember who you're talking to, now calm down, take a seat and never talk like that to me again, OK?” Det Stone apologised, feeling bad for shouting he sat down as Det Alan walked in and took a seat next to him.
The lieutenant started by saying “Ron came in and alerted us to Diamond being missing, we've spoken with him at length and we think he has nothing to do with it. Peaches was in shock when she was spoken to about Diamond, she’s actually scared, now as for Baz I have someone doing a thorough in-depth look into his past we should hear something very soon, in the meantime I want you two to go to Ron’s garage and have a good look around but under no circumstances treat Ron as a suspect, he may come in handy as a witness in the near future, any questions?” “Yeah what do you want us to look for” “Well Diamond” Lt Clark replied, with that they left.
Det Mark Stone and Det Alan went to Ron’s garage, even though they were really worried and anxious they both went looking relaxed and friendly so they could get the trust of Ron hoping that he may unknowingly let something slip. When they got there they noticed Ron working on a car and Baz wandering around in the back trying to look busy, but what caught Det Stone’s eye was that Baz wasn’t really doing anything in particular, it was like he was hiding in the shadows, watching them talking to Ron. This gave Stone an uneasy feeling, Det Alan was doing most of the talking like they had agreed to while Stone stood beside him taking mental notes such as looking for anything out of place or something extra clean, what he did see was a car right at the back of the garage with a cover over it so he enquired pointing “What’s going on with that over there?” Ron turned round to see what he was talking about then replied “Oh that car, It’s been here for years, part of the furniture now, Baz is supposed to be doing it up, not really sure what’s happening to it now though.” With that the two detectives shook his hand and left but Stone had a bad feeling that they'd missed something.
Driving back to the station Det Stone said “I think she’s there, don’t ask me how I know I just do, did you see how that Baz was hanging around trying to hear what we were saying, I really don’t like him” Det Alan was looking out the window and replied “I absolutely agree, let's see what the background check says when we get back and go from there.”
It was getting late Det Stone was just running on empty now but he wasn’t going to stop working, he couldn’t, he felt like it was his fault, if he hadn’t gone away she would still be here and not missing. He could feel his eyes getting heavy. His boss noticed and told him to go into his office and have a power nap. “I’ll wake you when we get something, now go and that’s an order.” Det Stone didn’t argue he knew his boss was right so he went for a lie down and before he knew it Mark was fast asleep.
“Mark, Mark wake up, we've found something.” Mark could hear his lieutenant's voice and releasing he wasn’t dreaming he opened his eyes seeing two faces staring right back at him, “here have this coffee, wake yourself up, you need to see this” the lieutenant continued. They all went to the computer and what they read sent a cold shiver through their bodies.
Baz’s real name is Barry Rington, age 28, arrest record read burglaries, assault and domestic abuse on then girlfriend Alice Holmes aka Peaches. “Bloody hell is that the same Peaches from the dance club? We need to speak to her now, Det Alan go round and pick her up please, don’t tell her we know about Baz, not yet and you Det Stone bring in Baz, make sure they don’t see each other when they get here.
When Det Stone went to the garage to collect Baz the place was all locked up tight which was so unusual so he rang Ron but there was no answer, this was a concern so Det Stone drove round to Baz’s home, he approached carefully gun drawn, shouting from the garden “Barry Rington if your home come out with your hands up.” It was so quiet as though no one was home so he shouted again “Barry if you're in there put your hands up and come out slowly.” Then there was movement coming from within the house, slowly the front door opened with Barry shouting “I’m coming out don’t shoot” as he started walking out the house towards him. “Turn around, go down on your knees and put your hands on your head.” Det Mark put his gun away, took his cuffs out, putting them on Barry then placed him in his car so he could take him to the station.
Det Alan went to Peaches house but she wasn’t there a neighbour said she saw her go out about an hour earlier probably going to work so he got back in his car and drove to the club. Once there he noticed the door man and asked “Has Peaches come in yet?” Det Alan hates this place, taking a deep breath Alan opened the door and went in, his eyes adjusting to the dark smoky room as he’s looking for Peaches. Searching through the crowd he saw her standing at the bar in just her revealing stage clothes talking to a couple of men, she noticed him looking at her so he beckoned her over, feeling annoyed Peaches asked “You could have just lost me money with them two clients, what do you want, I’m working?” “I need you to get dressed, you're coming to the station with me now” pointing to the dressing room. Peaches wasn’t happy but did what he said asking if this was about Diamond, Det Alan just continued saying get dressed and hurry up.
Now both detectives are back at the station, they’ve placed Barry in one room and Peaches in another while they sort out their strategy and who they should talk to first. Lt Clark suggested Peaches while he’s still trying to get hold of Ron.
Det Mark Stone started first “Right you know who we were and you also know that we’re working on finding out what happened to Diamond so, Peaches, we know your real name is actually Alice Holmes and Barry Rington is your ex boyfriend, what we want to know is why and when did you two break up?” Peaches started shaking, in a quiet voice answering “He’s got a temper, I’m scared, will he know it’s me talking to you cause he’ll hurt me if he finds out?” Det Stone reassured her that they won’t tell him it’s you who's been talking, you have our word on that, just please tell us what you know.” Peaches began “we were young when we met I was about 17, I thought he was Mr Right and he was at first but then he got into drugs and changed, he started getting a temper and taking it out on me, I took it for years, you know the beatings the name calling until I just had enough and when he was out one day I just packed up and left. I hadn’t seen him for years until he walked into the club one night telling me he’s changed, I’ve been trying to stay away from him but it’s a small place here it’s hard not to bump into him.” Det Alan asked “What do you talk about, does he ever mention Diamond at all?” Peaches thought for a while and said “He doesn’t talk about her all the time but when he has it’s mostly questions like why is she the main act, what does she have that I don’t? Just stuff like that really, he did ask once that if she was gone would I get to be the main dancer? I just shrugged and said probably but I didn’t think anything of it, that’s all I know really, I hope I’ve helped?” Both detectives thanked her and asked an officer to take her back to the club, they repeated that Barry won’t know about their meeting and with that Peaches left.
Lt Clark met the two detectives in the corridor and told them “I’ve eventually been in touch with Ron, he said he’s been at the hospital all day having tests done that’s why his phone was off, he’s on his way back and agreed to meet you both at his garage in around an hour, so you two go there before we talk to Barry, we’ll keep him here for now, let him sweat a bit. Remember, be nice to Ron, he's a witness, he’s helping and he could be ill.” They got their coats then jumped in Det Stone's car and headed for the garage to wait for Ron.
CHAPTER NINE….
Diamond woke up, it was so dark and wet, the smell was dreadful. Her head hurt really bad, it was making her feel sick. Diamond then felt a terrible pain in her arms and neck then with a sense of utter dread she released that her arms were tied behind her back, panic started setting in, she couldn’t move, she couldn’t shout, Diamond had a rag stuffed in her mouth, it stank really badly of petrol making her feel sick. Her eyesight started adjusting to the dark, Diamond looked around. She was in a small tight bricked hole, panic spread, her body shaking with fear and cold, Diamond hated small tight spaces. She started trying to scream, trying to be heard but it was no good, Diamond began hyperventilating with fear, it went dark as she passed out again.
The cold woke Diamond up again. She was shaking, crying with fear, Diamond hadn’t prayed for years not since her father died but now all she could think of was praying, praying that she make it out of here. Diamond knew she had to calm down, taking slow deep breaths telling herself everything will be alright, starting to feel a bit better.
Diamond had absolutely no idea how long she had been here, it felt like days, she still couldn’t move, there was no space, her legs were aching so bad, everywhere hurt and hurt badly. She was feeling so weak, hungry and thirsty.
Diamond knew the bad smell was her, she’s soiled herself but there was no option what else could she have done, feeling full of shame the tears began to flow, the feeling of hopefulness flooding her mind, she took a deep breath and decided just to go to sleep, Diamond had no more fight left in her. There was a noise like a rumbling, thinking it was just more thunder she fell asleep.
Ron was late, Det Stone was getting impatient “looking at your watch isn’t going to make him come quicker” Det Alan said smiling just as Ron pulled up beside them. He got out his car apologising for being late while rushing to the gates and opening them up inviting them both in.
It was dark inside, Ron went to turn on the lights and as they flickered on one at a time Det Stone’s eyes started searching for the car that was parked in the far back corner, as soon as he found it Det Stone asked Ron “about this car, how long did you say it’s been in here and when was it moved to this spot, I mean in this particular spot?”
Det Stone was looking around the outside of the car noticing the tyre marks in the dust “look it’s been moved, but look at how far, only a couple of yards, forwards and back, see” pointing to the ground.
As Det Alan was looking through the car windows he noticed it was a bit too clean, he asked “do you have the keys?” Scratching his head Ron replied “not sure, I’ll go have a look in the office, won't be long.” When he went looking for the keys Det Stone kneeled down to look under the car and became aware of a manhole cover. Feeling a wave of panic flood through his body. Stone shouted “shit, look, do you see what I see? We need to get them keys quickly, come on let’s help Ron find them, she could be under the car.” They ran to where Ron was and saw him turning his office upside down frantically looking for the keys shouting “I can’t find them, you two look over there” pointing to a pile of old clothes “Baz wears these now and again he could have dumped them there.” Det Stone starts tossing the clothes around when he hears a clink of metal as something lands on the ground then shouting “I think I’ve found them.” looking down was a set of car keys, he bends down, scoops them up and they all run back towards the car.
Ron opens the car, jumps into the driver's seat, turns the key and to his relief the engine starts rumbling to life, he puts it in gear, moves forward, away from the manhole cover. Det Stone and Det Alan begin to move the cover as Ron jumps out the car, they lift it up shouting “Diamond, Diamond are you there?”
Deep in sleep Diamond feels like she’s flying, feeling the heat of the sun touching her face as she’s getting closer to the sun, Diamond feeling happy she’s flying closer to heaven, to be with her father, she can hear muffled voices, her heart is pounding with the excitement at the thought of seeing him again after all these years. There’s a tugging no, a pulling on her arms, the voices are getting louder, Diamond can hear her name being called over and over again, she opens her eyes but the light is too bright thinking to herself “Why can’t I cover my face, what’s happening?” Just then she hears a voice she recognises but it’s not her father. All of a sudden Diamond remembers, It’s Mark’s voice, then she realises he’s pulling her out of the hole with Det Alan and Ron that’s why her arms are hurting.
Not knowing how close Mark and Diamond have become, Ron pushes him out the way and with his knife cuts the ropes off around her wrists and feet. Det Alan called the paramedics to the scene. Diamond was crying with relief white Mark covered her in a blanket Det Alan took out of their car. A short time later Diamond was on the stretcher being put in the ambulance, she felt embarrassed about how she looked and smelt so asked to be by herself. Det Alan agreed and told her they will be at the hospital very soon, he took Mark to one side and suggested “I know you've gotten close to Diamond so go back to hers, put a bag together so she got clean things for tonight and tomorrow, I’ll talk to Ron about Barry ok?” They stood there watching her being driven off.
CHAPTER TEN….
Det Alan and Ron sat in his office watching the C.S.I team go to work, Ron tried ringing Barry but there was no answer then Ron suggested they go to the club and find Peaches to ask her when was the last time she’d seen him. Det Alan drove them as Ron kept trying Barry, hoping he’d pick up, he was getting worried, wondering what the hell’s going on with him. Ron turned to Det Alan and said “Baz has always been quiet, I’ve never had a problem with him before, I just don’t understand what’s happening, I mean what’s Diamond done to piss him off so bad?” Det Alan replied “Not sure but hopefully we’ll find out at the club. We’re here so let’s just see what she says.”
Diamond is now safely in her hospital bed, she’s weak with dehydration so the doctors put her on a drip, she’s groggy with the drugs they’ve given her. Waking up Diamond saw Det Stone sitting by her bedside after getting her clean clothes and toiletries. Diamond smiled before closing her eyes and drifted back off to sleep feeling safe he was there.
Det Alan and Ron entered the club, it was dark with only a few spot lights on, they headed for the bar and asked if Peaches was here, the bartender pointed over to the dressing room saying “all the girls are in there having a meeting, I think it’s about Diamond, by the way how’s she doing?” Ron answered, “She'll be fine, just needs to rest up.”
They approached the door of the dressing room, knocked and waited to be let in. As soon as they walked in the girls started shouting question after question to them so Det Alan raised his voice a bit and said “Hello ladies, we're here to speak to Peches, is she here?” One of the ladies stood up and said “Peaches was here but she got a call, she looked worried and just left saying that she had to go, is Peaches ok?” As the two men start leaving Ron shouted back “Let’s hope so” and with that they left.
Det Stone was in the middle of reading the newspaper when he heard a faint voice saying “Hi Mark.” He looked up, noticing the big smile on Diamond’s face even though she was still so tired, asking “ Can you pass me some water please?” Mark got up and held the glass to Diamond’s mouth so she could sip it through the straw, looking at each other, never breaking eye contact. When she was finished drinking Mark asked “How are you feeling, you up for talking about what happened?” She nodded as he took out his notebook then Diamond began. “I was at home having something to eat when there was a knock at the door. It was Baz from Ron’s garage, I thought he wanted to talk about my old car again so I let him in, big mistake because as soon as I closed the door he turned and punched me in the face, the pain was excruciating, he pulled me by the hair and yanked me to the floor, he started kicking me in the ribs, shouting something about how Peaches is better than me, he then dragged me along the floor by my arms to the back door and tied my hands behind my back then stuffed a stinking dirty cloth in my mouth, forcing me to his car and put me in the trunk.” Diamond took a deep breath, asked for another drink then continued “It all happened so fast I just couldn’t understand it. The trunk was dark, I couldn’t see or move, I think I passed out cause the next thing I remember is being lifted out and tossed into a hole, I think I banged my head because I blacked out again.” Diamond began to shake and the tears were rolling down her cheeks, Mark gently squeezed her hand and whispered “It’s ok, you're safe now, I won’t let anything happen to you, understand?” She wiped away her tears and carried on “When I woke up again I was in agony, I couldn’t move, the hole was pitch black and damp, it stunk of dirt and I don’t know, something else as well, I don’t even know how long I was in there, I started giving up hope so just decided to go to sleep I had no fight left, the next thing I remember was I felt like I was flying, I thought I could hear my father calling my name. Then I woke up here.” Diamond was feeling so many different emotions of course she’s happy to be alive but she really did want to see her father one last time, just to tell him she loves him. Diamond lay there looking up to the ceiling, trying not to cry again, she turned to Mark and said “I hope I’ve helped but Im tired now” with that she closed her eyes and went to sleep. Det Stone got up making sure there was an officer at her door and told him “Under no circumstances is she to be left unsupervised, if you need to piss get someone here before you go, understood?” The officer nodded as Det Stone went off to find Barry.
Det Stone rang his partner to find out what’s happening “Hi Mark, Ron and I are on our way to peaches, apparently she got a call from someone when she was at work and rushed out looking stressed we’re thinking it was Barry, Where are you now, how’s Diamond doing?” “She’ll be fine, she's tough. I’ll go to Baz’s to see if he’s there if Peaches isn’t at her place come straight to his, ok?”
All sorts of things were going through Det Stones head as he’s driving to Baz’s house not knowing what to expect, will he be waiting for him, has he got a gun, will Peaches be there, are they working together or is Peaches a victim too. He pulled up outside the house just as his phone rang, it was Det Alan “Peaches isn’t here, we’re on our way to you now, don’t go in please wait for us, we’re a couple of minutes away.” Det Stone agreed, getting out of his car putting his bullet proof vest on and waited.
It felt like a lifetime but eventually they turned up, Det Alan told Ron to stay in the car just in case he had a gun. The house was dark except for one light shining through the curtain out a small window at the front of the house. They could see a dark silhouette walking back and forth in the room so they knew someone was there. Det Stone shouted up to the house “Barry it’s Det Stone and Det Alan come out with you hands up and no one will get hurt,” it was quiet, too quiet, he shouted again, still nothing, Ron suggested to Det Alan that he should try saying something “I pose no threat to him he may respond to me better than you.” “Ok but stay behind the car.” Ron got out of the car and shouted up to the house “Baz it’s Ron, I need you to tell us if Peaches is there and if she’s ok? Will you please come out? If you don’t they’ll come in and I don’t want anything to happen to you, so come on Baz, come out?” Still nothing, the three men looked at each other Det Stone said to Ron “Well you tried so now we go in.” They heard a scream coming from the house, they run to the door Det Alan kicks it open Det Stone runs in, gun drawn, he see’s Baz trying to run out the back door, he runs after him shouting stop but he didn’t, Baz was outside, in the dark, Stone shone his flashlight into the dark night, saw nothing, slowly he walked round one side of the house, all he could hear was the cracking of twigs under his feet. He then heard Ron shout “Baz stop I’m here to help, stop running” But Baz didn’t stop so Ron took a chance, ran straight towards him then without warning took him down in a football tackle, the wind was knocked out the pair of them, Baz was about to get up as Det Stone came running from the side of the house gun to the ready shouting “Barry Rington, stop and put your hands up, now!”
Backup arrived just in time to take Barry away, Peaches was wheeled out the house all battered and bruised with Det Alan at her side, Det Stone came up to her saying “Peaches are you alright?” She looked back at him replying “My name is Alice, Alice Holmes, there’s no more Peaches” as she’s been put in the back of an ambulance.
Det Alan went with her to the hospital and when they were talking she explained what was going on in Barrys head “He wanted to get rid of Diamond, he thought I should have been the main dancer and that’s it really nothing more, as you know he’s my ex and I did tell you he was obsessed with me, the stupid bastard thought he was doing me a favour, as I said that’s all there is to it.” The tears started trickling down her face Det Alan apologised and told her to get some rest. When they got to the hospital he said good bye and went back to the station.
A few hours later back at the station Barry had already been interviewed and was on his way to the county jail. Det Mark Stone stopped him just in time, leaned in close and whispered “When they come for you in the middle of the night, and they will, just relax, it’ll not hurt as much when they use you as their bitch.” Barry went white and weak at the knees. The reality of what he’s just done hit him hard like a rock.
CHAPTER ELEVEN….
Two months have passed, Diamond was sitting in her usual place on her verandah, enjoying the morning with her cup of coffee watching the birds feeling happy with life wondering what she should do today when a car pulled up that she recognised. Getting out with a huge smile was Det Mark Stone. “Well well well” says Diamond as she stands up continuing “I haven’t seen you for a while, how you doing and what have you been up to? Come on inside I’ll pour you a coffee.” They went inside and sat at the kitchen table Mark noticed something was different but couldn’t put his finger on it, Diamond saw and explained how she’s remodelled the kitchen from the colour of the walls to the new cabinet doors, she commented “I needed a change so I decided to do this, do you like it?” Stone nodded, “Looks good.” They sat there for a while just talking about what’s been happening in their lives. Then he then put his detective voice on and explained “Right I thought I better tell you face to face, it’s about Barry, don’t worry he’s pleading guilty, there won’t be a trial so that means you won’t need to see him again and testify, I hope that’s good news for you?” Diamond sat there quiet for a while and then said “I hope he rots in hell, he’s my past now so there’s no need to speak of him ever again.” Det Stone stood up and said “I better go, It was lovely seeing you again and I’m so happy that the bad things you went through haven’t put you off living your life.” He gave her a kiss on the cheek and said his goodbyes.
Within the last few months Diamond and Peaches became really close friends but now Peaches goes by her real name Alice. They now have a common enemy, even though Barry was out of the picture now they both still felt fear, on edge, so one day they got together, talked for hours and made a deal to help each other get through it day by day. Alice has been through this before with Barry when she was much younger but he underestimated her this time, this time Alice was stronger, he couldn’t control her now or ever again.
Diamond had worked so hard for so long that she had money saved, she loves her work, being an exhibitonst, showing her sexy body off, the club was like a second home to her, she knew the owner was getting old and was thinking of selling, Diamond was upset about it so one day she approached the owner, made him an offer and within a couple of days he accepted. Diamond was so over the moon, she phoned her best friend Ron and asked him to come to hers as she has some good news. Ron was intrigued, drove over as quick as he could, to his surprise when he got there Diamond was standing on her varandha with a bottle of champagne. “ Hi lovely, pop this open,” handing him the bottle “I’ve got good news.” Ron pops the cork, the bubbles shoot out, Diamond tries to catch them in the glasses, they're laughing, enjoying the moment then Diamond tells Ron her exciting news. “You’ll never guess what I’ve just bought,” she says with a huge smile on her face. “Will you just hurry up and tell me, woman?” “I’ve just signed the paperwork and I’m now the proud owner of the club” Ron was now speechless, looking at Diamond he eventually said “are you serious, the club you work at? Really? Wow, that’s amazing. Please say you're going to fix it up, I can help if you like, wow I’m so happy for you woman, come here give me a hug.” Diamond came close for a hug but instead Ron picked her up in his big strong arms, spun her round as they’re both laughing with happiness. Eventually they sit down on the verandah and just talk about the changes she’s going to do she even told him that’s she going to ask Alice to be part of her team saying “Peaches is now going by her real name Alice, we’ve become close after everything that’s happened so I’d like her with me in this.” Ron agreed saying “that’s a good idea, she’ll be really happy.” After a while Ron told Diamond he had to go, he had an appointment in the next town and wouldn’t be reachable for a couple of days. He gave Diamond a kiss on the cheek and left, leaving Diamond puzzled about what appointment and why not in this town.
Now the proud owner of a dancing club, Diamond asked Alice if she’d like to be the bar manager. Without any hesitation Alice screamed jumping up and down so happily said “Yes I’d love to, thank you so much.” “Then I’ll meet you at the club in an hour, we have loads to talk about.”
They're now sitting in the club, it’s closed, Diamond goes behind the bar, picks up two glasses and pours them both some wine “When we re-open this will be champagne, cheers and here's to us.” They sat there drinking their wine with all the lights on while they discussed how to improve things, which to be honest wouldn’t be hard. Diamond brought painting colour charts, photos cut out of magazines that have given her ideas, they took measurements around the club and after a couple of glasses of wine decided to call it a day, it was getting late, they both wanted to start early the next morning.
He knew he shouldn’t but Det Stone really wanted to see Diamond again. He keeps remembering their night in the blackout, their time in the shower and how she made him feel, he was driving home from work when he realised he was now in Diamonds street, just about to pass her house, Stone saw there was a light on, debating if he should stop, wanting to stop so much, wanting Diamond so much, he felt a throbbing between his legs, now driving passed her house, with one hand on the wheel and the other now unzipping his trousers, he looks in his rearview mirror checking there’s no one around, Stone takes out his cock, he begins slow at first, rubbing the shaft with a tight grip, he’s rubbing faster, getting excited, picturing Diamond’s naked sexy body, he can smell her scent, Stone’s moaning as plays the shower scene through his head getting more aroused, he can hear Diamond moaning when his cock entered her pussy, he sees her voluptuous breasts as he pressed her up against the wall, Stone pull’s his car over, leans back in his seat and tugs hard and fast, his cock is throbbing, he’s about to explode, rubbing faster and faster, harder moaning loudly knowing he’s going about burst, then a huge explosion as he cums all over himself, still feeling horny knowing what he’s just done, he sort’s himself out and drives home.
Weeks then months go by, Det Stone, Det Alan and Ron become good friends, meeting up once a week, drinking, playing cards and smoking their cigars, just having a good time. Tonight though they were sitting around the fire pit at Stone’s house, the night is young, Alan is cooking the steaks on Stone’s new bbq showing him how it’s done, Ron’s cracking open the beers that he brought round and Stone is sitting there watching, feeling happy knowing he made the right decision to transfer away from the city.
The food is cooked and smells delicious, the three of them are sitting, eating, drinking and talking when the conversation changes to Diamond and Alice. Ron started to explain “I’ve been seeing someone, it’s been about six weeks now” they stopped drinking, looked at him and Alan said “you sly dog, who’s the lucky lady?” Continuing “well if you must know it’s Alice.” There was stunned silence while they took in what Ron just said until Stone piped up “Wow I wasn’t expecting that, are you happy? How did it happen?” “Well after what Baz done to Alice I started going round and see how she was doing and you know just to talk nothing more, but we just become closer with each visit, then one thing lead to another and six weeks later we are getting stronger, I know there’s an age difference but it’s only seven years and she doesn’t care, so there you have it.” When Ron was finished Stone stood up, lifted his bottle and said “To Ron and Alice, you both deserve some happiness, cheers.”
After a couple more drinks Ron looked at Stone and said “Anyone in your life, maybe someone called, oh I don’t know, let me think, Diamond for example?” Stone nearly choked on his drink, shocked anyone would ask, Ron added while laughing “you really didn’t think we couldn’t see the way you both looked at eachother, we’re not blind.” Stone looked at Alan “don’t look at me man, but it was obvious to just about everyone, now that the case is closed what’s stopping you?” Stone didn’t know what to say, he thought he’d been careful, now sitting there at the fire pit with the other two staring at him waiting for an answer, Stone felt unsure of what to say, he’s not used to the one being questioned and he didn’t like it so getting up saying “I have to piss, be back soon” and we went off into the house while Alan and Ron sat there laughing. When he came back the subject had changed, they talked about everything and everyone except Diamond, time had run away with them, it was late time to go, they said their good nights and left.
Det Mark Stone was working another case when Det Alan rang telling him “Diamond’s been trying to ring you, she wants you, me and Ron to meet outside the old club tomorrow night at eight pm sharp, she didn’t say why so don’t ask and I’ll meet you two there.” “Ok I suppose I’ll see you tomorrow then.”
The night was warm but with a nice slight breeze cooling the air, the sun had set, the moon high in the dark sky.
Diamond and Alice were standing at the top of the stairs outside the doors of the club, the string of fairy lights hanging and swaying above everyone's head like twinkling stars in the night sky. The crowd was getting big. Diamond couldn’t start without her three heroes, looking for them worrying in case they don’t turn up. She felt a tug on her arm, Alice spotted them standing at the back, she pointed showing Diamond where they were. The relife she felt seeing them standing together, then she began.
“Ladies and gentlemen thank you all for coming here tonight. Now I know a lot of you knows what happened to Alice and myself. When you go through a life changing experience your priorities change, things you thought were important in your life may be different after going through somethings, mine changed I decided to lay my roots here permanently and tonight I would just like to say a huge thankyou to the most three important men in my life, Ron, Det Alan and Det Stone can you step forward please,” as the crowd parted they walked towards the front Diamond continued “ these three men saved my life, if it wasn’t for them I wouldn’t be standing here today so tonight I welcome you all to” as Diamond talks Alice pulls down the sheet over the new sign. “Welcome to the brand new, one and only, DIAMOND DELIGHTS!”
Everyone clapped and cheered as Diamond shouted “everyone come on in, enjoy and the first drink is on the house.”
Diamond was the happiest she’s ever been, looking up to her sign she took a deep breath then felt a pull on her arm, it was Mark, “hello detective.” Mark said nothing, just kissed her on the lips, took her arm and then they walked in together, arm in arm.
