 Story Title : Redemption
______________________________________________

   "Justice is justice though it's always delayed and finally 
   done only by mistake."  -George Bernard Shaw

                      "Redemption"  (c) 1998
                       by Dafney Dewitt

             "In the Criminal Justice System, the people 
             are represented by two separate but equal 
             groups, the police who investigate crime 
             and the District Attorneys who presecute 
             the offenders.  These are their stories."

  
              328 E. 47th Street New York City
                         The Fantasy Club
                         Saturday July 2nd

     The owner of the Fantasy Club, Luther Stone stared in 
fascination at the stage where a silicone enhanced blond 
pumped her hips toward the audience in perfect timing with 
the rhythmic thump of the music.

   But Luther was not watching the naked dancer.  His eyes 
focused on a fresh-faced young man sitting in the front row.  
The kid's face was filled with unabashed awe, worshiping
the smooth pale body of the dancing girl.  His open mouth 
formed a small 'O' like a surprised fish.  Seeing such awe-
struck fascination was rare.  For most patron's of stripper 
bars, the fantasy was gone.  Their sense of wonder eroded 
by time. With time, the kid would change too.  His face 
would loose its innocence.

  The kid's face.  

   Luther Stone knew that look.  It was a look that reminded 
him of himself, as a young kid, the first time he had been in a 
stripper bar.  Back then, there was no total nudity.  Women 
stripped to pasties and G-Strings.  But they captured Stone's
attention.  He was entranced by their beautiful bodies, wanting 
to devour them with his eyes.  That was a long time ago.  

   Prison had changed him.  Now he was hard.  Now when he 
looked at strippers, all he saw were whores, or drug addicts.  
For Stone, there was no more mystery in sex.  No matter how 
beautiful, every woman had a price.

    In the dark shadows, at the edge of the stage, the kid's 
hand pumped up and down.  It was a familiar motion, but it 
was all wrong.  His hand was way to high.  There was no 
way, the kid could be stroking his cock.  He would have had
to have been hung like King-Kong.  Entrigued, Stone gave a 
nod to his bouncer, Guido.  He pointed to the kid, and Guido 
brought him to Stone.

  "Am I in trouble?" 
  "No," said Stone.  "What's your name?"
  "I'm Tommy Kincaid."

   Tommy stuck his hand out expecting Luther Stone to shake it.  
Stone shook his head slowly from side to side and ignored the 
extended hand.  From the silly grin on Tommy's face, it was 
obvious that he was mentally challenged.  It explained the look 
of wonder on Tommy's face.  It was the dumb look.  Stone  
regretted calling this retarded man over to his table. But it did 
not explain what Tommy Kincaid had been doing with his hand 
while he watched the strippers.

 "What were you doing with your hand?"  asked Stone.
 "Stroking my lucky foot."  The young man held up a large 
rabbit's foot attached to a key chain. 

    Luther Stone smiled.  Tommy Kincaid gave Stone a goofy 
smile in return.  Stone knew that this interchange was being 
watched.  The other employees of the Fantasy Club would talk.  
Stone would end up looking like a looser because of a moment 
of weakness, thinking about his own lost innocence.  His 
employees would talk behind his back about the ex-convict, 
drug dealer, and pimp who invited retards to his table.  Stone 
looked for an easy way to keep his reputation intact. 

  "Does your rabbit's foot bring you luck?"
  "Only if I stroke it."
  "Did you know that luck works best if you let someone else 
do the stroking?"  
Stone formed an image in his mind of a whore giving a hand 
job.
  "No," said Tommy, leaving his mouth open again like a fish 
blowing bubbles.
  "If you let me stroke your rabbit's foot, you might get lucky.  
One of  the strippers might give you a private lap dance.  
Would you like that?"
  "Oh, that would be good."  

Then Tommy frowned.

  "What's wrong?" asked Stone.
  "I can't loose my keys.  See?"  Tommy held up a small 
plastic address tag attached to the key chain.  "If I loose 
my keys, you get paid $15.00 for mailing them to this 
P.O. Box."
  "You won't loose your keys,"  Stone reassured him.
  "Are you sure?"
  "I'll keep them safe.  You can watch me."
  "Will you help me get a girl?  Girls don't like me much after 
they learn I'm slow."
  "I'm sure it will work.  Give me the keys." 
Stone reached across the table.  
Trusting Stone, Tommy handed him the keys.
  "Now go sit over there at the corner table while I rub your 
rabbit's foot."

   As Tommy turned his back to walk to the corner table, Stone 
detached the keys from the rabbit's foot, and handed them to 
his bouncer, Guido.  

  "Tell Sherry to give the kid a free lap dance, and get me 
duplicate keys.  You gotta be back in 10 minutes,"  Stone told 
him.  For the cost of a duplicate key, Stone had salvaged his 
reputation.  

   Stone saluted Tommy, at the corner table, holding the white
rabbit's foot high in the air and pretending to have the keys in 
the palm of his hand.  With exagerated gestures,  Stone stroked 
the rabbit's foot.  A few minutes later, Sherry approached 
Tommy's table and began her tired routine.

  The lap dance ended before Guido returned.  Tommy came 
back to Luther Stone's table.
  
  "Can I have my keys back now?" 
Stone smoothly evaded his question.
  "It worked just like I told you, right?"  
Tommy nodded his head breaking into a big smile.
  "Do you live in a post office box?"
  "No, I don't live in no box.  That's just if the keys get lost."
  "Where do you live?"
  "I live at 723 E. Park Avenue in Apartment #327."
  Tommy recited the numbers carefully, proud to have memorized 
his own address.
  "Can I have my foot back now?"
 "In just a minute.  I'm going to give it an extra rub so you get 
another girl the next time you come back to the Fantasy Club."

   Stone moved his hand with the rabbit's foot under the table, 
pretending to rub it, until he saw Guido walking toward him 
from the back entrance of the Club.  Guido shook hands with 
Stone who palmed the key chain and deftly re-attached it to 
the rabbit's foot.

                        723 East Park Avenue
                            Apartment 327
                        New York City, N.Y. 
                           Tuesday July 5th                

   Luther Stone rang the doorbell first.  He waited.  He knocked 
three times before inserting  the key and opening the door to 
apartment #327.  Stone had no intention of burglary.  It was pure 
curiosity.  The address on Park Avenue surprised him.  Why was 
a mentally challenged smuck like Tommy Kincaid living in a high 
class apartment building?  

   The luxuriously decorated apartment only furthered the 
mystery.  Stone made a quick tour of the 2 bedroom suite 
to reassure himself that he was alone.  The lipstick and 
tampax in the bathroom took Stone by surprise.  Was 
Tommy Kincaid married?  He returned to a small table by 
the front door with a basket full of mail.  Selecting a business 
envelope, Luther Stone read the name of the addressee.  He 
quickly thumbed through the rest of the letters.  All of them 
were addressed to Claire Kincaid, Assistant District Attorney 
for the State of New York.  This was the same Claire Kincaid 
who had sent Stone to Attica on a three year drug conviction.  
Tommy was not married.  He was Claire Kincaid's retarded 
brother.

   Stone said a short prayer.  The Gods were with him.  
Stroking the rabbit's foot had brought him more luck then 
he could have imagined.  His mind raced with possibilities 
for revenge.  He could stalk Claire, torment her, he could 
bug her apartment, and rape her in her own bed. But he 
quickly rejected all these fantasies.  He wanted more.  He 
wanted Claire to come to him, begging on her knees.  He 
wanted to humiliate and degrade her.  He devised a plan.

   Luther Stone returned to the bathroom.  He did the same 
thing detectives Brisco and Logan had done to convict him.  
He went around collecting evidence.  He took hair from 
Claire's hairbrush, looked in the waste basket and fished 
out a used tampax, and brushed fibers off Claire's skirts that 
were hanging in the closet.  He wiped off both sides of the 
door handle with a paper towel before leaving.

                      Hargrove Lofts #425
                   3007 W. Brooklyn Avenue
                         Friday July 8th                                       

  Tommy Kincaid rubbed his rabbit foot again, and hit the 
naked woman laying across the bed.

  "Wake up!"  he yelled.
But the woman did not move.
  "Wake up!" Tommy yelled again.
But the woman was dead.  

   Minutes before Tommy had handed her a balloon of heroin 
in exchange for sex.  His good friend, Luther Stone had set 
him up with a drug addicted stripper named Cyndee Lee, 
and a big man named Guido had given him the heroin.  The 
sex was good.  The heroin was good too.  Over 80% pure 
heroin.  It was a hot shot.  Both the sex and death had been 
recorded from a hidden camcorder.  In a panic, Tommy 
Kincaid  fled the dead women's apartment.   He ran straight 
to his good friend Luther Stone for help.  

   Police discovered the body after receiving an anonymous 
phone tip. When Detectives Brisco and Logan arrived at the 
Hargrove Lofts #425, uniformed police officers were already 
posted at the front door and the Medical Examiner was 
examining the body.  Logan searched the apartment while 
Brisco talked to the doctor.

  "What's it look like?" Detective Brisco asked the Medical 
Examiner.
  "A dead lady," the examiner answered without looking up.
  "Yeah, or a slow whore, but do we have a murder?"
  "What we have is a drug overdose, and a recent sex act."

   The Medical Examiner inserted his plastic gloved fingers into 
the vagina of the deceased woman and wiggled them sideways 
to make his point.  The movement of his fingers made an obscene 
sound of sloshing liquids.  He gave Detective Brisco a lewd wink, 
"What's it sound like to you?".

"Sounds like a fresh fucking."  said Brisco agreeing with the M.E.

Logan returned from the bathroom carrying a bloody tampax in 
a plastic evidence bag.

"She on the rag, Doc?" he asked.
"No."  The M.E. answered.
"Well, then it looks like we have another woman."
"And a man," added Brisco.
"Is it rape?" asked Logan picking a hypodermic syringe up 
off the floor and dropping it into an evidence bag..
 "After Logan's run with divorce, he has trouble imagining 
women fucking for fun," Brisco told the M.E. in an apologetic 
voice.
"More like sex for drugs," answered the medical examiner.
"If you'd known my ex-wife, you'd think rape, too," shot back 
Logan.
"If we find the drug pusher, we might be able to arrest him for 
Murder II,"  Brisco suggested.
"The police forensics lab will sort it out," Logan predicted.
"I'm done here.  You can bag her," said the medical examiner.


                   New York District Attorney
                       Adam Schiff's Office  
                        Thursday July 14th                       

  Claire Kincaid listened politely, holding a large envelope 
in her lap, as Jack McCoy detailed the murder case on 
Cynthia Lee Crawford for Adam Schiff, the Chief District 
Attorney for the City of New York.

  "Under Barrera vs State of New York, we have precedent 
for charging the deliverer of illegal drugs with Murder II if 
that delivery results in death."

  Seated behind his desk, Adam Schiff nodded his mostly 
bald head.  In an annoyed grumble, Adam protested "Yes, 
but can we prove the intent of the person supplying the drugs."

 Rising out of his chair, Jack McCoy pointed his index finger 
at Adam Schiff, raising his voice with emotion.

  "The prosecution does not have to prove intent, only delivery.  
The burden of proof is reversed.  Supplying illegal drugs which 
results in the demise of the recipient is 'a priori' accepted proof,  
tantamount to depraved indifference.  Intent is implied in delivery.  
The courts have made this point clear."

"OK," Adam nodded his bald head, "Who is the bad guy?"

"We don't know yet," conceded Jack McCoy.

Adam rubbed the sides of his head as if he were developing a 
headache.  "Why are you wasting my time?" growled Adam in 
exasperation.

"But we may know soon," Jack added quickly.  "Claire has an 
anonymous informant."

  Claire Kincaid rose from her chair and handed Adam a 6 x 10 
envelope with the photograph of the deceased woman, Cynthia 
Crawfard, sprawled nude across the bed. 

  "This photo," said Claire was not taken by the police.
  "So we have an anonymous necrophiliac?" Adam snapped 
back sarcastically.
"It's more then that," said Claire " look in the far left hand corner."  
  She tapped the photo with her index finger.  "That's a man's leg. 
That's the perp."  
  Adam sounded tired, but nodded his assent.  "OK, run with it. 
But you can't indict a leg.  If you identify the man, we'll trot a 
murder charge out before the Grand Jury."

                    New York District Attorney
                        Claire Kincaid's Office  
                            Friday July 15th                       

  The phone rang while Claire Kincaid was reading through 
depositions on a rape case.  The person on the other end 
started talking before Claire could announce herself as an 
Assistant District Attorney.

  "You've been bad, Claire," said a man's voice she did not 
recognize.
  "Excuse me, do I know you?" Claire answered suspecting 
an obscene call.
  "You know my work."
  "What work?"  asked Claire impatiently, checking the 
Caller I.D. display.  The call was blocked.  It did not show 
the caller's telephone number.   
  "Pictures of dead women."
  Suddenly alert, Clair sat up straight in her chair.  
  "Do you know who gave Ms Crawford the heroin?"
  "Yes."
  "Do you know that by withholding this information, you could 
be charged with obstruction of justice or even an accessory to 
murder after the fact?"
  "I'm not trying to withhold anything."
  "OK, who did it?" 
  "Your, brother, Tommy Kincaid."

  Claire's heart froze.  Did Tommy do it?  Could she prosecute 
her own brother?  She quickly dismissed that thought.  She 
would never prosecute her own brother.  She knew Tommy.  
He was retarded, but he was no killer.  There was no proof.  
The caller was just trying to upset her and he had succeeded.  

  "You're wrong," said Claire sure of herself.
  "Check your mail for a videotape, Claire."  

The caller hung up.

  Claire sorted through her mail.  She found a Federal Express 
package with a videotape.  In the privacy of her office, Claire 
watched her brother,  Tommy hand heroin to Cynthia Crawford.  
She watched Cynthia inject herself and collapse.  The entire 
murder scene had been taped.  A few minutes after the tape 
ended, Claire's office phone rang. It was the man's voice again.

"Did you watch it?"
"What do you want?" asked Claire.
"I want you."  The voice sounded threatening.
"Blackmail is not going to work," Claire stated with a false 
certainty.
"Why not?"
"My brother, Tommy, has diminished mental capacity.  No 
court would ever convict him of murder."
"I knew you'd defend him."
"He's my brother.  What did you expect?"
"You're a prosecutor, Claire.  I expected prosecution."
"Sorry to disappoint."   

This time, Claire hung up.  

  Claire locked the incriminating videotape in her desk.  She 
congratulated herself for not succumbing to a blackmailer.   
She had no intention of ever showing this videotape of the 
murder to anyone.  The crime would just have to go unsolved.

  Later that afternoon, the anonymous blackmailer called back.

"Did you share the videotape with your friend, Jack McCoy?"
The man's voice was calm and self-assured, speaking with a 
familiarity that repelled Claire.
"No." answered Clair curtly to discourage the caller.
"That's good.  Because you were right."
"What do you mean?"
"Tommy does have diminished capacity.  He's not the real killer."
"He isn't?" asked Claire not knowing where this conversation 
was going.
"No, Tommy just did what you told him."
"What do you mean?  Claire said in shock.
"You're the killer."

  A cold chill fell across Claire.  The caller was crazy.  There 
was no way she was the killer.  She had never been in Cynthia 
Crawford's apartment.  The accusation was insane.

"You're nuts!"  Claire stated boldly, taking the offensive.
"I can prove it."  responded the self-assured voice.
"How?"  Claire's voice wavered.
"Send a sample of your hair and blood to the police forensics lab.  
Ask them to test it against the evidence collected at the murder 
scene."

The caller hung up.

                        Police Forensics Lab 
                New York Police Department
                         Tuesday July 19th                       

  Doctor R. Timmons, at the police forensics lab called Claire 
Kincaid's Office with the good news.

"Remember those hair and blood samples you gave me for 
testing on the Crawford Case?"
"Yes," said Claire.
"We have a match."
"How good a match," asked Claire cautiously.
"As good as it gets without DNA testing.  We have a 98% 
certainty the two samples are identical.  The person those 
samples came from was at the murder scene.  I can testify to 
that in court.  Looks like you caught your perp, Claire."

  "Ah, that's great, Timmons," said Claire without enthusiasm, 
and placed the phone back in its cradle.  

   Claire's stomach lurched.  She felt ill. Doctor Timmons had 
just offered to testify in court against her.  It was Claire's own 
blood and hair in that sample.   How did she get into this mess?  
Claire buried her head in her hands and broke down in heavy 
sobs that quickly turned into a torrent of  tears.
 

          328 E. 47th Street New York City
                     The Fantasy Club
                   Wednesday July 20th

    Claire agreed to meet her anonymous tormentor at the
Fantasy Club.  It was 10:00 pm.  She had been sitting in 
the bar for the past 15 minutes trying to guess the identity of 
her blackmailer.  Several men had hit on her.  She brushed 
them off with a maddening hesitation.  Uncertain, which man 
she was meeting, Claire gave every man a shot at her.  She 
was not drinking, not laughing, and definitely not having fun.  
She looked lost.  Claire was a long way from the comfortable, 
familiar surroundings of a courtroom.  She tugged her skirt 
sharply to keep it from riding up over her knees.  Waiting for 
the blackmailer to reveal himself, made Claire feel dirty like 
a whore sitting on a barstool.

  Luther Stone enjoyed watching Claire's distress.  He delayed
approaching her.  He wanted to see how well she handled 
herself.  She was obviously extremely ill at ease, but managed 
to maintain her outward composure.  Her pageboy haircut 
gave her face a special innocence.  Her brown hair caught the 
glow from the bar lights, and her gold hoop ear rings sparkled.  
Her face was flushed.  Her mouth was open.  Just like her 
brother thought Stone.  Dressed in a grey skirt with a cream 
colored blouse, she looked dignified.  The single string of white 
pearls hanging around her neck gave her a touch of sophistication 
that set her apart from the all of the other women in the bar.  She 
looked dignified.  He intended to strip her of that dignity.

  Claire had not spotted him.  She had walked right by his 
booth, and he had inhaled her perfume.  He liked her scent.  
She smelled good.  He closed his eyes imagining how he would 
take her.  Under the table, Stone pushed down on his rising
hard-on, groaning. 

  Claire continued to search the bar, her face tense.  Stone 
calmly sipped his drink.  He enjoyed watching her shame at
repeatedly rebuffing the attentions of horny men.  He liked 
seeing the way her breasts moved underneath her blouse.  
The slight jiggle of Claire's breasts against her pearl necklace 
was far more erotic then any stripper.

    Claire's heart pounded so hard she could feel it through 
her blouse.  Where was he?  She glanced at her watch.  
Fifteen after ten.  Maybe it was all a cruel hoax!  Tears 
burned her eyes, and she bit her lip to keep from breaking 
down, forcing herself to be strong.  Be strong, she urged 
herself.  You have to be strong.  Do not let him get the 
best of you.
 
    She was moving toward the bartender to ask if anyone 
had left a message for her when someone uttered  her name.
  "Claire."
    She whipped her head around, peering through the darkness.  
It was someone sitting at a booth table in the shadows.  She 
moved off the bar stool and toward the table.  She could make 
out the outline of a man. As she got closer, her eyes lit up with 
recognition.
 She looked at Stone, confused.
 "Hi, Luther Stone."
 "Hello, Claire."

    Politely, Stone stood up and let Claire slide into the booth 
toward the far wall, then he sat down blocking her only exit.
To her dismay, Stone layed his hand on top of hers and held 
it lightly as if they were lovers.

  "Didn't think you'd meet me here, did ya?"
  "I thought you were still in Attica serving a five year drug 
sentence."  

   Claire glanced around the bar afraid to try to withdraw her 
hand from his.  She avoided looking Stone directly in the eyes.  
She needed time to catch her breath, and calm her breathing 
before speaking.  She needed to sound firm and in control. 
When she finally looked at Stone, he was gazing at her breasts.  
She glanced away embarrased.

  "I got out for good behavior," said Stone giving her a lewd 
wink.

   Claire was not certain what to say.  She looked down at 
her lap, wondering if Stone was the blackmailer.  She kept 
telling herself to withdraw her hand, but her nerve failed her.

  "Look at me, Claire.  I've waited a long time for this."
Claire looked up.  "What?  What have you waited for?"
  "To claim you.  You're mine," said Stone possessively.

   Anger flared on Claire's usually passive face.  She was no 
man's toy.  She was no man's possession.  She yanked her 
hand out from under his.  How dare he! 

   "They should have locked you up for life!"  Claire said 
bitterly.

Claire waited.  She expected Stone to strike back, but he 
remained calm.  He seemed amused by Claire's outburst. 
Stone slowly raised his drink and took a sip, setting the 
glass back on the table before speaking.  When he spoke,
between almost closed lips, it sounded to Claire like the 
hiss of a snake.  

  "Don't make me angry, bitch. I own you."

  The tip of his tongue flicked between his lips.
  Stone smiled.
  Claire glared back.  
  All doubt was gone.  
  He was the blackmailer.

  "What do you want?"  asked Claire wanting to end this 
encounter.

   Stone leaned closer.  He looked like he was about to 
whisper in her ear but he quickly grabbed Claire's head with 
his hands.  He pressed his lips to hers, forcefully kissing her.  
He thrust his tongue deep into her mouth, and then suddenly
reversed the assault by possessively sucking her tongue into 
his own mouth.  Claire struggled to escape this forced embrace, 
repulsed by his boldness, terrified by the lightening fast assault.   
She finally broke away, retreating from Stone until her back 
was against the wall.

  "You bastard!" Claire gasped wiping her mouth with the 
back of  her hand to get his taste out of her.  Frantic, she 
looked around the bar expecting someone to come to her 
assistance, but no one was paying any attention.  The taste 
of his drink filled her mouth.  Claire was furious.  But kissing 
in a stripper bar was not unusual.  No one noticed her 
distress.

    Claire's face felt hot.  Blood rushing to her head made the 
veins in her temple throb.  She gripped the edge of the table 
ready to run.  But she was trapped.  Claire was determined 
not to let Stone force himself on her again.  Stone lifted a 
hand, and Claire flinched as if she expected to be slapped.  
A bar maid responded to his wave.  She took Stone's drink 
and gave him another.

   Claire watched him in fear.  Stone studied Claire like a 
snake, squinting his eyes into small slits, moving his head from 
side to side as if were looking for a place to strike.  Claire's 
eyes grew wide with fear.  She blinked rapidly, alert for an 
attack.  She hated Stone, but felt strangely attracted to him.  
He had power over her.  He had something she wanted.  He 
had a videotape of her brother, Tommy at the scene of a drug 
related murder.  She needed the tape, and she needed Stone's 
silence.  Stone was dangerous.  He could strike out without 
warning.  Claire felt vulnerable.  And she feared Stone's bite 
could be deadly.

   "If you cooperate, I'll give you the tape of your brother, 
and I'll forget it ever happened,"  Stone said coldly.  He 
looked sincere.  But could Claire trust him?

   Claire regained her composure.  "You want a little 
'quid pro quo'?" she asked boldly.  
   "That's right, honey.  Move closer to me."
  
  Claire slid away from the wall toward Stone.  The booth 
table could easily sit three and there was still a considerable 
gap between them.

   "A little more," urged Stone.
She moved closer.
Stone made no move to touch her.
   "More," said Stone.

   Claire moved toward Stone until her leg almost touched his.  
They were sitting side by side as close as a couple could sit 
without touching.

   "Relax," smiled Stone.  "This is not going to hurt."

    Claire needed help.  She never should have agreed to meet 
Stone.  She never should have come into a stripper bar alone.  
The craziness of her plight was maddening.  She could not call 
the police.  Even if there were a policeman in the bar, what 
could she tell him?  She had been kissed without permission?  
As a New York District Attorney, she knew the hopelessness 
of such an accusation.  Stone would talk his way out of it, and 
she would end up looking like a fool.  What if she told the truth?  
If Claire told the police Stone had videotaped evidence of a 
murder, Stone would say that he had already given the tape to 
Claire.  He was the just the good citizen trying to help out, but
she could get disbarred for non-disclosure of evidence.  Then 
there was the physical evidence to explain.  Her blood.  Her hair.  
If she admitted being blackmailed, her brother risked a murder 
conviction.  
 
  Claire peered into the darkness of the bar.  Maybe, someone 
in the bar could help her.  But how?  Even if she escaped Stone 
this evening, nothing changed.  He would simply call her for 
another date.  And she would come.  The awful truth hit home.
She would come.  Claire felt Stone's hand gently rubbing her 
thigh out of sight, under the table.  Claire knew there was no
way out.  Her eyes brimmed with tears.

  Ashamed to let Stone see her tears, Claire turned her head 
away from him and urged herself to be strong.  She breathed 
deeply to regain her sense of balance.  Stone mistook it for a 
gasp of pleasure, and moved his hand higher between her legs.  
Claire reminded herself that she was an intelligent District 
Attorney, a lawyer trained to talk her way out of any situation.  
She could reason with him.  But with Stone's hand rubbing 
between her legs, her brain on gone on vacation.  Her brilliant 
legal mind had turned to mush.

  Stone yanked her skirt above her thigh's, all the way to her 
panties, before withdrawing his hand.  Looking Claire directly 
in the eyes, he moved his hand over his drink and dipped his 
fingers into the alcohol.  Claire watched Stone wet his fingers, 
and lower his hand under the table.  She recoiled from the wet 
fingers with revulsion.  Suddenly, she seethed with anger. Claire 
lost her temper.  She shouted at Stone.

  "Keep your fingers away, or I'll call the police!"
 
  As soon as the words flew from her mouth, Claire was 
embarrassed by how silly they sounded.  People nearby 
stopped talking.  They looked at Claire expectantly.  Stone 
raised his drink, toasting the onlookers, and smiled affably.  
Claire hunched down in the booth, embarrassed.  She 
wanted to disappear. Calling attention to herself with a 
man like Stone in a stripper bar was the last thing Claire 
needed.  Her reputation would be ruined.

  "Go ahead and call the cops,"  Stone challenged her.
He leaned toward Claire and grabbed her hand.
She tried to pull it away, but he held it firmly.
  "You're a bad girl, Claire."  
  "You don't own me," insisted Claire.  "I won't let you."
Clair spat the words out of her mouth like an prosecutor
demanding a maximum sentence.

  Sensing her determination, Stone released Claire's hand.  
His eyes wandered over her body, tracing the contours of 
her curves.  It made her feel violated, and dirty.  But Stone 
stopped touching her.  He respected her resistance. He 
nodded begrudingly, waiting while Claire pulled down her 
skirt.  It was a stand off.

   "We can work something out," offered Claire.
   "We can," agreed Stone amiably. 
   "You only get one bite of the apple," continued Claire.
   "That a legal phrase?" asked Stone.
   "Yes.  It means this is a one time deal."
   "OK.  I'll set up an exchange."

  Stone stood up.  Claire was free to leave the booth.  As 
she brushed wrinkles out of her skirt, she warned Stone.

   "Don't ever touch me again," Claire told him, pressing 
her advantage, "or the deal is off and I'll just take my 
consequences."

                           Detectives Office         
                          Thursday July 21st                       
   
    Both Dectives Brisco and Logan were working the telephones 
fishing for leads in the Crawford murder investigation.  Detective 
Brisco called the M.E., Dr. Timmons, for the autopsy results.
     
   Death by misfortune.  Death by drugs.  Death by accident.  
Death by rape.  Detective Brisco had seen it all.  He did not 
expect any help from Dr. Timmons.

   "Dr. Timmons, Detective Brisco here.  I was hoping you 
might  have something new on the Crawford autopsy."
   "Sorry, but what we have is a heroin overdose, plain and 
simple.  No other cause of death.  From the needle marks, 
it looked like Ms Crawford was a long time addict.  She was 
overdue.  It was her time."
   "Anything from the rape kit test?" asked Brisco hopefully.
  "Sorry, again.  All negative.  No signs of vaginal trauma.  
All sexual activity was consensual.  Also, no DNA match with 
any registered sex offenders."
   "So, you've got nothing for us?" Brisco's voice betrayed his 
disappointment.
   "Just an I.D. on the perpetrator," said Dr. Timmons.
  "Whaddya mean?" shouted Brisco slurring his words with 
excitement.
  "Didn't Claire tell you?  She sent in blood and hair samples 
that made a perfect match with those found at the scene."
  "She did?"
  "Yep!  Check with Claire.  I think she solved your case for 
you."
  "Us detectives are always the last to know," said Brisco 
hanging up.

So Claire was holding out, thought Brisco.  Why would she 
do that?  What was Claire hiding?

Logan got off the phone.

"I just tracked down the owner of the apartment building.  
Guess who owns the Hargrove Lofts?"
"Who?"
"Luther Stone.  Three years ago Claire Kincaid sent him 
to Attica on a five to seven year drug conviction."
"It's a small world,"  said Brisco rubbing his chin.
"You get anything new from the forsenic lab?" asked Logan.
"Naw, same old stuff," lied Brisco.
"Maybe we ought to run Luther Stone's prints against the 
ones found at the murder scene," suggested Logan.
"Good idea."
"We already have a DNA sample from Stone on file from 
his last conviction.  Let's check it for a match."

The investigation moved forward.


              328 E. 47th Street New York City
                        The Fantasy Club
                         Friday July 22nd

   At 10:00 am on Friday, the Fantasy Club was closed but 
not empty.  Footsteps and voices echoed in the church-like 
silence.  Stone led Claire Kincaid down a long hallway with 
doors every few feet.  The rooms were very small like 
hundreds of confessional booths in a Catholic nightmare.

"These are fantasy booths," explained Stone.  

"The customer sits on one side, a nude woman sits on the 
other side.  Between them is a one-way mirror.  The man 
can see the woman, but the woman can not see the man.  
The man tells the woman what he wants through a speaker 
phone."

Claire looked at Stone with relief.  This was going to be 
easier then she thought.

"And you want me to play your fantasy girl?"
"Bingo!" said Stone.
"What's the fantasy?"
"I'll let that be a surprise."
"Do I have to change into a costume?"
"No, but you may have to undress," Stone admitted.
"How long?" asked Claire Kincaid.
"No more then one hour.  When were done, I'll give you 
the tape."

   Stone unlocked a door with an 'Employees Only' sign, and 
guided Claire to a booth.  Facing Claire was a mirror window.  
I can do this, Claire told herself. He can not touch me.  I will 
not even have to look at him.

  Stone closed the door leaving Claire alone in the fantasy 
booth.  Claire looked at her reflection in the mirror.  She 
was dressed casually in a pink blouse and grey skirt.  Her
only make up was a light touch of blue eye shadow, and 
some pink lipstick.  She primped in the mirror, waiting for 
Stone to get settled in on the other side.

Stone's voice took Claire by surprise.

"So you came to gloat?" he asked.
"No, that's not true," Claire said in automatic denial.  

For a second Claire felt Stone had read her mind.  She had 
been gloating.  Stone would not be touching her.  She was 
back in control.  Words were Claire's life.  Twisting words
in courtrooms was Claire's world.  If Stone wanted words,
Claire was his woman.  She could do this.

"Why else would you visit me here in prison?" asked Stone.

This question caught Claire off balance.  This was not a
prison.  This was a fantasy booth.  Then it hit her.  This 
was Stone's fantasy.  The attractive female district attorney
visiting a convicted felon in prison after his drug conviction.  
Claire had prepared herself  to talk dirty, and perform to 
obscene commands.  But Stone did not want blind obedience. 
To fulfill Stone's fantasy, Claire would need to play herself.

"Answer my question, bitch!" hissed Stone impatiently.
:"You're a looser, Stone,"  Claire shouted back.
"So you did come to gloat?"
"Not, gloat.  I came to show you what you'll be missing for 
the next 5 years."

Claire let her finger trace a path down the middle of her 
chest and circled around the curve of her breasts.

"You'd like to see them wouldn't you?"
"Yes, show them to me."
"Make me."
"I can't.  You know I'm locked up."
"That's right.  The beast is behind bars."
". . . and the beauty is free."

Claire was enjoying this.  She really was in control.  But she
knew, she would have to submit.  If she did not give Stone 
his fantasy, there would be no deal.  She needed to keep up 
her end of the bargain.

"Eat your heart out," Claire said to her reflection, standing 
up. Grabbing the edges of her dress with both hands, Claire
watched herself lift it above her waist revealing her white 
panties before letting her skirt fall back down.  She flashed 
a teasing smile at the mirror.

"Take them off." 
"Take what off?" asked Claire innocently.
"Your panties."
"Oh, you nasty man," said Claire coquestishly.

But she obeyed.  She put her hands under her skirt and 
rolled the panties down her long legs.  She held her panties
under her nose, and pretended to smell them.

"Hmm!  They smell so good."  
Claire pressed the panties against the mirror.
"Too bad, you can't smell them."

Claire heard a low moan.  She must be doing it right.  Why
not speed things up?  If he climaxed, she could leave early.
She remembered what a prostitute, she had prosecuted, had 
once told her.  In the hands of a skilled woman, most men 
lasted less then 7 minutes.  Just a few squirts, and it was all 
over.  

"Look at me," Claire commanded watching herself in the mirror
as she unbuttoned her blouse.  She cupped her hands beneath
her bra pushing her breasts together.  

"Do you like my tits?"  
She heard another moan.

Claire lifted both her breasts out their cups and let them hang
out over the top of her bra.  She pushed her tits toward the
mirror, letting the nipples brush against the cold glass.  Claire
could just imagine what Stone was thinking.  She could feel
her nipples harden.  She mashed her boobs against the glass
making them bulge, flattening them out.  From the other side,
it must look gross thought Claire with satisfaction.

"Are you stroking your cock?"  Claire asked into the mirror
so close that her breath left a small cloud of condensation.
"Maybe," answered Stone not giving anything away.  

He was as slippery as a snake thought Claire   She would 
never pin him down.  Determined to break Stone, Claire 
abruptly slumped in her chair and thrust both feet toward 
the mirror, her shoes making a loud snap as they hit the 
glass.  Her skirt stretched tightly between her open legs, 
Claire opened herself up for viewing.  She heard another 
groan.

"Touch yourself," Stone begged.

Claire pushed her fingers between her legs, spreading 
her lips open.  With her legs spread wide under her skirt, 
Claire was giving Stone a perfect view.   Her cunt gaped 
open and her puckered asshole was obscenely visible.  
She inserted two fingers and fucked herself for Stone's 
pleasure.  Any minute and it will be over,  Claire told 
herself.  She had no idea what a twisted path Stone's 
fantasy would take.

   "What if your father saw you like this Claire?  Are you 
daddy's little whore?" Stoned asked.
   "Yes, I'm daddy's whore." Claire responded.  She would
say anything to keep the fantasy going.
   "What about your brother, Tommy?  Would you fuck 
him, too?"
   "Yes, I want to fuck Tommy."
   "I..." She stopped, unable to say the words.  Claire 
swallowed hard and started again.  "I want to fuck my 
brother, Tommy." 
   "Yes, you want his big hard cock," urged Stone.
   "I want him to fuck me with his hard cock.  I want to 
be my brother's sex slave.  Tommy can fuck my pussy, or 
take me in the ass.  I've wanted to fuck my brother for a 
long, long time."
   "Suck on your fingers, Claire."  
Claire pushed the fingers from her left hand into her mouth.
     "No.  Your other hand.  Suck on the fingers that were 
in your pussy."
Claire shook her head in refusal.
    "Do it Claire.  Do it for your brother, Tommy."

Claire was puzzled.  What was this incestuous fantasy about 
Tommy?  She brushed the fingertips of her right hand over 
her lips, finally pushing them inside her mouth.  She licked her 
fingers, trailing her tongue all the way down to the fingernails, 
as if she were licking a cock.

  "Again."
 
   Claire took her saliva coated fingers and penetrated herself 
again.  She fucked herself briefly before moving her fingers 
into her open mouth and sucking loudly.

  "Aah, that's good Claire.  You're a good little girl."

  Claire increased her efforts.  She alternated her thrusting 
fingers from mouth to pussy and back again until she was 
dripping.  A small pool of fluids was forming between her 
legs.

  "Beg for it, Claire," Stone hissed.
   She didn't reply.
  "Beg for Tommy's cock!"
  "No."
  "You're a dripping slut.  Beg Tommy to fuck you."  
  Claire's resolve weakened.  She needed to end this.
  "I want it," Claire whispered.
  "Say it, whore.  What do you want?"
  "I want Tommy to . . ." Claire could not finish.
  "Fuck you?"
  
  "Yes," Claire sobbed.  She could no longer tell if she was 
acting out a fantasy or living a nightmare.  Her fingers froze. 

  "Say it louder," he insisted.
  "I want Tommy to fuck me," Claire gasped.
  "Keep fingering yourself."
 Claire resumed fucking herself with her fingers.
  "Say it again."
  "Please, fuck me," Claire begged.
  "Fuck you where?"
  "In my pussy."
  "What about your ass?"
  "Yes, fuck my ass.  Fuck me with your cock."
  "Make me feel it, Claire."
  "Please fuck me," she sobbed.
  
Claire heard a long low moan.

  "Do it, Claire, masturbate.  Make yourself come."

Claire paused.  Nervously, she turned her eyes away from 
him toward the door.  No escape.  She realized there was 
no way out.  Her hesitation thrilled him.  Then in shame, she 
obeyed his command.  There was nothing else to do.  Slipping  
her fingers over her sopping mound, Claire rubbed herself. 
Her body trembled.   

Her horror at the thought of what would happen to her if 
stopped stroking herself was stronger than her disgust of
Stone, and what he was forcing her to do.  Claire's moans 
conceded her state of arousal.  She was his play toy.  She 
shuddered. 

Claire screamed in a high-pitched wail, shaking her head from 
side to side in a frantic effort to deny herself the pleasure of 
the climax that was building inside her body, the pleasure she 
desparately wanted to avoid.  But her orgasm kept building.  
The electric sensation flooded through her.  A wave of pleasure 
swept over her.
      
Claire could not stop climaxing.  Her heart thundered in her 
ears.  She lost control.  Her body trembled more powerfully 
then ever, shaking from wave after wave of mind numbing 
orgasm.  And she started to cry.  Tears streamed down her 
face.  It was the final humiliation.  Stone had forced her to 
masturbate herself to a climax.  

Her dignity had been shattered.  She was mortified.  She had
shared her most intimate act with Stone, more intimate then
sex itself.  He had watched her climax with her breasts hanging
out over the top of her bra, her skirt taut between her spread
legs, and her shoes planted firmly against the mirror window.
Claire could see her own image.  She could see herself in the
mirror.  She was ashamed.  Her dignity had always been of 
paramount importance to her.  Tears streamed down her face.

Claire moaned in misery.
"I'm not done with you yet, Claire."

  "Kiss me, Claire"

Claire puckered her lips and kissed the air.
 
  "No, kiss the mirror."
Claire moved her lips to the mirror.
  "Lower."
 She moved lower.
  "To your left."

 Claire obeyed.  She pressed her lips against the cold glass,
kissing, twisting her mouth in a gross parody of a kiss, leaving 
a circle of smeared lipstick.

  "Once more."

Claire kissed the glass again, closing her eyes.  When Claire 
opened her eyes, her lips were pressed hard against a spurting 
cock on the other side of the window.  The lamp in her booth 
was off.  The mirror was now just plain glass.  Claire had 
expected some sort of trick from Stone, but not this.  Never 
this.  The face behind the glass was not Luther's.  It was her 
brother, Tommy.  Claire watched has her brother's cock gave 
one final spurt that dripped down the side of the glass.

  Her heart sank. 
  Claire was devastated.
  She was degraded beyond imagination.

 In a blind rush, Claire bolted from the fantasy booth.  Stone 
met her in the hallway, pressing a videotape into her hand.  
Claire had earned the tape, but she was too humiliated to 
even ask for it.  Clasping her unbuttoned blouse together with
one hand, and holding the video tape in the other hand, Claire 
ran out of the Fantasy Club.  All she wanted was to escape.

                    723 East Park Avenue
                        Apartment 327
                     New York City, N.Y. 
                       Monday July 25th                

     For several days, Claire deliberately avoided her brother, 
Tommy.  She left for work early and came home late.  She 
was too humiliated to face him, but relieved that her ordeal 
was over.  Claire hoped that with time, Tommy would forget,
and forgive.  Stone phoned her at home one evening when 
Tommy was out.

   "Hello, Ms Kincaid."
Claire recognized his voice immediately.
   "We have nothing to discuss Mr. Stone.  Just one bite of the 
apple. Did you forget?"  
Claire was ready to hang up, but Stone's words stopped her.
  "Did you enjoy the videotape?  It's Tommy's favorite."

Something was wrong.  The hair on the back of Claire's neck 
stood up.  A feeling of dread crept over her.  She found the
videotape Stone had pressed into her hand when she fled the 
Fantasy Club.  Claire inserted it in the VCR. It was the wrong 
tape.  My God!  This was a tape of Clair in the fantasy booth.  
My God, thought Claire, Stone had videotaped her through 
the mirror.

"You bastard!" Claire yelled into the phone.
"Tommy, loves your video.  He has seen it dozens of times.  
No one else has seen it.  I should sell it as a porno video so
millions of men could watch it and fuck you in their dreams.  
Your reputation would be ruined."
"What do you want," Claire sobbed in defeat.
"I want you to have sex."
"I'd die before having sex with you," swore Claire.
"Not me, Claire.  I want you to fuck Tommy."
   
  Claire Kincaid's felt her life spinning out-of-control.   The 
room started to turn.  She fainted.

  When Claire revived, Tommy was standing over her.  He 
was rubbing his crotch.

"Tommy," Claire asked.
Tommy looked down at his sister.
"Yes?"
"Do you want to fuck me?"
"I sure do."
Tommy took his shirt off and unbuckled his belt.
"Is Stone forcing you to do this?"
Tommy kicked off his shoes.
"No."
"Then why are you taking off your clothes?  It's wrong
to have sex with your own sister."
"It's wrong but I can't stop thinking about it.  After watching 
the videotape of you fucking yourself, and begging me to fuck
you, I can't get you out of my mind.  I want you."

Tommy dropped his pants to the floor.  He was already
fully errect.  Stone had been exciting Tommy by showing
him the videotape of Claire's pornographic performance 
in the fantasy booth.   How many times had Tommy seen 
the video?  Claire had masturbated to save her brother 
Tommy from a possible murder conviction.   Now Tommy 
was going to screw her.  All of Claire's good intentions 
were turning out wrong.  Stone had twisted everything 
around.  Claire had given up trying to help Tommy.  Now 
she just wanted to save herself.

  Seeing no way out of this forced incest, Claire took off 
her clothes and layed down on the bed.  Tommy climbed 
on top of her.  He was awkward.  All elbows and knees. 
His hot cock throbbed insistently against her thigh.  There 
were no condoms.  Tommy would not be using a condom,
but there would also would be no baby.  Claire was on the 
pill.  

  Once he had a goal, Tommy pursued it with a simple 
minded determination.  His hands were clumsy and 
fumbling.  He was excited.  He would not be stopped.  

Claire felt her resolve hardening along with her brother's 
errection.  She could not do this.  She could not fuck her 
own brother.  Claire kept stalling him.  She told Tommy, 
she had to get comfortable and moved the pillows.  But 
Tommy was insistent.    Without warning, the telephone 
rang.  Claire answered the telephone, but it failed to slow 
down Tommy's mindless lust. 

"Hello, this is Dr. Cook's Office calling from the Metropolitan
Health Center," said a deep rumbling voice.
Claire could feel Tommy's hands pushing her legs apart.
"Hello," said Claire.
"Is Ms Kincaid home?"
"This is Ms Kincaid speaking."

  Tommy had managed to get his hips between her legs.  She 
could not keep them closed.  He had won.  Nothing would
stop him now.  Tommy ignored the fact that Claire was talking 
on the telephone.  He would fuck her as she talked.

"We're calling to notify you about the test results for Tommy."
  Claire felt Tommy's fingers probing inside her.  She was wet.
His cock pressed insistently against Claire's inner thigh.
"What results?" Claire asked.
"The HIV test taken last week came back positive."

Without a word, Claire dropped the phone.  Stone was going 
to kill her.  He was using Tommy to kill her.  In a panic, she 
tried to push Tommy off.  But he was too heavy.  He pushed 
her back onto the bed.  Tommy had a weak mind, but strong 
muscles.  He would win this battle.  Claire felt the tip of his
cock touch her outer lips getting ready to thrust himself inside
her.  Claire knew.  She was dead.

  Frantic, Claire whipped her head from side to side looking 
for a weapon.  She was fighting for her life.  Without thinking, 
she grabbed a pair of sissors off the night table.  She stabbed 
Tommy several times in the back.  He screamed in pain. His 
screams, and the sounds of something falling were heard by 
Stone on the other end of the dropped telephone.  Claire ran 
to her closet.  She yanked a gun out of her underware drawer, 
pulled a raincoat on over her naked body and fled.  Claire 
intended to kill herself.  Suicide was the only option left.  

   Claire wandered aimlessly for hours before returning to 
her apartment.  She had rejected the idea of suicide.  If she 
killed herself, Stone won.  He wanted her dead.  She was 
determined to live.  She wanted to defeat Stone.  Her 
apartment was empty.  A pool of blood had soaked into 
her bed. Tommy was gone.  A note was taped to the 
headboard of the bed.

                          "Taking care of the body.
                            Sorry things went bad.
                            I will never tell anyone.
                                           Love, Luther"

  My God thought Claire. Tommy was dead.  Stone had 
disposed of the body.   She had killed her own brother.  In 
a daze, Claire stripped the bed, soaked the sheets in cold 
water, and made up the bed with fresh sheets.  The routine 
domestic actions helped numb her mind.  It stopped her 
from thinking.  She was a killer.  Claire did not sleep all night.

In the morning, the telephone rang.
"Claire, it's Stone."
She did not answer.
"Claire, everything is going to be OK."
"Nothing will ever be OK," Claire mumbled.
She dropped the phone, and started crying.  Still wearing her
raincoat, Claire cried herself to the sleep.

When Claire woke up, Stone was holding her.  His hands were 
caring and gentle.  It felt good to be held.  But Claire's anger
ignited.  Stone was touching her again. His arms were around
her.  It would never end.  He was reponsible for the death of
her brother, Tommy.  Silently, she slipped the gun out of her 
raincoat and shot him 3 times at point blank range.  

Stone was dead.

  Detectives Brisco & Logan promised to make a slam 
dunk case of self-defense in testimony before the grand 
jury.  Stone was an ex-convict previously convicted by 
Claire Kincaide who stalked her.  He broke into her 
apartment for revenge.  

  But there are a few loose ends.  In Stone's pocket was 
a key chain with a large white rabbit's foot.  The key 
opened the door to Claire's apartment.  It belonged  to 
Claire's brother, Tommy.  Tommy was missing.  Claire 
did not know where he was.  In addition to breaking into 
Claire Kincaid's apartment, Stone was suspected of foul 
play in the disappearance of Tommy Kincaid.

                                    
                              La Guardia Airport
                             New York City , N.Y.
                               Saturday  July 30th

   Detective Logan was returning his daughter, Megan, to her 
mother.  She was departing on American Airlines fllight 818 
from New York to Tampa, Florida at 10:00 am.  He shared 
joint custody with his ex-wife.

  After his daughter, Megan, pre-boarded, Detective Logan
noticed a disturbance at an adjacent arriving flight from Florida.
Tommy Kincaid was sitting on the floor surrounded by  3 
airport security guards.  He was crying, and yelling that his 
rabbit's foot was lost.  Detective Logan intervened.

"Tommy Kincaid, I'm Detective Logan.  I work with your
sister.  Do you remember me?"

Tommy grabbed Detective Logan's leg in a hug.
"Can you help me find my rabbit's foot?"
"I already found it.  It's in the police property room.
"Do you know where my sister is?"
"Yes, she went to Luther Stone's funeral."
"Stone is dead?"
"Yes, he did something bad."  Detective Logan did not want
to mention his attack on Tommy's sister.  Tommy was already
upset.
"Stone was good, not bad.  He sent me to Disneyworld."
"Is that where you've been for the past week?"
"Yes.  I had fun."
"Your sister, Claire, will be glad to hear you're OK."
"Let's go find your sister, Tommy."
"I don't know my way home," Tommy said.
"Come with me."
Tommy took Detective Logan's hand.

               St. Luke's Memorial Cemetary
                         3582 Lake Drive
                        Saturday July 30th
                                                    
  Following the advice of her psychiatrist, Claire Kincaid 
attended the burial ceremony for Luther Stone.  It was 
intended to provide closure.  By attending the burial, she 
might avoid developing post-traumatic stress. 
      
  Detective Lenny Brisco and Claire Kincaid stood apart 
from Luther Stone's family watching the first shovel full of 
dirt dumped on the casket.  It was a small gathering.  No 
more then four not counting the minister, Claire, and Brisco.

  "Life is a mystery," repeated Detective Brisco mimicking 
the eulogy of the minister.  
Claire remained silent.
"Death is a mystery, too," continued Brisco.  He looked at 
Claire as if he expected her to answer.
"But not everyone's death is mysterious," finished Brisco.  
Claire looked at Detective Brisco.
"What are you trying to say?" Claire asked.

   Detective Brisco did not answer.  He watched Luther's family 
and the minister walk away.  They headed across the grass to 
their cars.  The funeral was over.  Claire and Brisco were alone.

  "There is no statute of limitations on murder, is there?  Detective 
Brisco asked Claire.
  "It was self-defense," said Claire.
  "I was talking about your brother, Tommy."
  "Tommy?"

Claire could not look Detective Brisco in the eyes.  He knows, 
she thought.  He knows what happened.

  "I read the note written by Luther Stone about disposing of 
Tommy's body.  You conspired with Stone to cover up Tommy's 
death, and  then you killed Stone so he couldn't blackmail you."

  Claire Kincaid offered a weak rebuttal.

"In the end, Luther Stone received justice.  Not courtroom 
justice, but justice none-the-less," she said.
 "But what about you?"  Det. Brisco looked at Claire.
He knows, thought Claire.
  "Me?" 
  "Which do you want, justice or redemption?"
After a long period of silence, Claire hung her head and 
whispered, "Justice should be tempered with mercy."
"Follow me to my car and I'll give you some hard mercy."
He cupped his groin.

  Detective Brisco was confident.  He knew people.  Claire 
was guilty.  He turned his back on her, and walked toward 
his car without looking back.  Claire stood still for a long 
time before making her first step.

   Inside the police car, Claire unziped Detective Brisco's 
pants.  She sucked him into her mouth without a word.  
Getting a blow job in a cemetary by an assistant district 
attorney right after attending a burial was a new one for 
Brisco.  A sense of unreality enveloped him.  He climaxed 
almost immediately.
 
  Someone shouted.  A man was running up the cemetary 
hill toward Brisco's car.  He shoved Claire's head off his 
lap.  It was Tommy Kincaid.  Claire heard Tommy yelling 
her name.  Tommy was alive.  He was running up the hilll 
with Detective Logan trailing behind.

  Detective Brisco zipped up, confused.  If Tommy was 
alive, why did Claire Kincaid just give him a blow job?

"Life is a mystery," Claire repeated Brisco's own words 
back to him.  She flashed him a quick smile before opening
the car door to run toward Tommy.
 
  Detective Logan joined his partner Lenny Brisco.  They 
watched as Claire and Tommy hugged.

"A strange case, huh?" commented Logan.
"Stranger then you'll ever know," agreed Brisco.

This story was based on the characters from the show 
"Law and Order".  The story was written in the bathtub 
with one foot controlling the hot water fawcet.  My big 
toe reminded me of a rabbit's foot, and thus the story 
was written.  The author got wrinkled like a prune, but 
the readers got "Redemption" by Dafney Dewitt.
