Chapter 11

Kristen and Connie continued to date for the next two months while alternating sleep overs at each others homes. Kristen went to weekly sessions with Elizabeth and was eager to return to duty on April 21st. Connie was busy at the DA's Office and as each day passed, Ted Yates became a forgotten memory.

Mike Cutter tapped on Connie's office door, "Hey, you just about done?"

Connie looked up from her keyboard, "In about five minutes, why?"

"Jack has offered to take us out to dinner."

"What's the occasion?"

"We've managed to clear up fifteen outstanding cases with positive results."

"In that case I'm ordering the biggest steak on the menu?"

Mike chuckled and tossed the baseball he was holding into the air then caught it, "Do you want to call Kris and invite her along?"

"No, it's her first day back on the job and she won't be off duty until nine o'clock. Besides, she has plans for dinner with her partner and his wife."

Mike's features softened, "So how are you two doing?"

Standing up from behind her desk, Connie radiated a bright smile, "Kris is much more relaxed since Yates was sentenced and we are doing very nicely thank you very much."

"I have to admit, I've never seen you this cheerful before."

Connie snatched the ball out of the air, "I'm extremely happy Mike. Now let's go find Jack."

Later that week, Kristen was off duty and pottering around the kitchen. She was busy preparing dinner for Ed, Christine and Connie. It was five-ten and Connie was due home any minute and Ed and Christine were expected at seven. Kristen put the rib roast and the mini soy roast into the oven and closed the stainless steel door.

Across town, Connie was packing her portfolio and saying goodbye to Mike. He was busy telling her about his plans for the weekend as he walked her to the lifts.

Over in the near deserted shower block at Sing Sing Correctional Facility, prisoner Ted Yates was washing the shampoo from his hair. He suddenly felt strong arms lock around his chest and throat and he tired to turn around. "What the fuck!" he exclaimed as his body slammed into the hard tiled wall.

"Once a Marine, always a Marine," said a deep voice that Yates recognised as fellow inmate Keith Jackson. "It's time to pay the piper."

Yates struggled against the weight pressing into his back, but was no match for the six foot six former Marine who was serving a life sentence for murder.

"You were a son of a bitch when you framed me five years ago Yates, so now it's my turn to repay you," explained Jackson into Yates' ear as he shoved a shank into his right kidney. "The first one is for me."

"Oh fuck," cried Yates in disbelief and excruciating agony.

Taking out the blade, Jackson tightened his grip around Yates' throat then stabbed the disgraced former Police Officer in the rib area, "Second one is for raping and killing my sister then setting me up." The third strike pierced Yates' lung, "The last one is for what you did to my former Sergeant Kris Stanton. Oh by the way, you perverted fucker, my lawyer is working on getting me out of here because the state has reopened my case after your Internal Affairs investigation. I'll be sure to have a beer for you when I am sitting on the beach. You are a mother fucking coward Yates and this is what you deserve."

Yates couldn't speak or resist. The blood was rushing out of his body and flowing down the drain.

Jackson released his hold and Yates' limp body collapsed onto the tiled floor. Calmly washing off the blood from his torso and blade, Jackson reached for a towel and slowly walked away.

The last words Ted Yates ever heard were a whispered, "Semper Fi."

Connie was pouring two glasses of wine when her cell phone sounded. "It's Jack," she announced before handing Christine a glass. Grabbing the phone off the counter, she answered, "Hello Jack."

"Connie, are you with Kris?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Yates has been killed, the story's all over the news."

Connie sighed, "That's justice, thanks for the heads up."

"No problem, I'll see you tomorrow."

"Goodnight Jack."

Closing her phone, she rejoined the others in the living room and raised her glass, "Here's to my wonderful girlfriend's first week back on the job."

"Cheers," regaled Ed and Christine.

Connie took a sip then understatedly proclaimed, "Yates was killed in Sing Sing."

"Thank fuck for that," whispered Christine.

Ed looked at Kris, "Just desserts honey."

Kristen exhaled deeply, "Now I can breathe."

Later that evening, Kristen lay entangled in Connie's limbs when she said, "Move in with me baby."

Connie joked happily, "Is tomorrow too soon?"

"No way, if it wasn't so late, I'd go pack for you now."

Giggling, Connie kissed Kristen's nose, "It's only late because you insisted on making love to me for so long."

"I seem to recall it was you who attacked me in the shower and got the marathon rolling."

"Oh yes, that's right," conceded Connie. "At least we can sleep in."

Kristen stretched her long frame, "Well you can. I have an eight o'clock breakfast date with my lawyer."

Sitting up, Connie glared at Kristen, "Your lawyer?"

"It's nothing serious baby. Ralf will just be discussing the quarterly business reports with me."

"You have a business?"

"Actually I have three."

"I gather you invested your inheritance."

"I did and bought a struggling building and construction company and built it up over the years. When it started turning a substantial profit, I purchased a mechanical business then a florist franchise."

"That explains how you were able to have your garage built so quickly."

"Yes it does. My businesses offer top class service and are successful. I haven't had any money concerns for some time."

"I always knew you were smart."

Wrapping Connie up in her arms, Kristen kissed her on the jaw, "Allowing you into my life was the smartest move I ever made."

"Mmm, I'm so glad you did," purred Connie.

In reply, Kristen pressed her lips to Connie's.
