Space Ghost
Chapter 21
Kate, Ryan, and Espo were back in the office after searching Coonan's apartment. They didn't find much except a box of DVDs that they had brought back with them after tagging it and checking it in. Now it was signed out so they could search each and every DVD to see what was on them. Maybe it would be helpful in their investigation.
"What's going on in there?" Espo nodded at Captain Montgomery's office. The lead prosecutor was in there with him and they were both yelling at each other.
Kate could only shake her head as she put her box down and opened it. "Here you take these. And Ryan, these are yours. I'll take the rest." This was going to be long and boring but what choice did she have?
Then suddenly the office door opened and the lead prosecutor came storming out. "Goddamn incompetents. Stupid precinct can't do a goddamn thing right." He pushed everyone out of his way, stabbed at the elevator button, and disappeared inside it.
"Beckett, my office," Roy yelled from his office.
As she went Espo opened his first DVD. "BRO!" He showed what was in his DVD to Ryan. Ryan hurriedly opened his and showed him the same thing. Espo looked for a knife to cut the bag open. He wetted a finger, touched the powder, then taste tested it followed by spitting it out. "Heroin. The good stuff." Both of them opened the other DVDs quickly and carefully.
Beckett made it into his office. "Sir?"
"The video of the confession is gone," Roy said grimly.
"WHAT!? How can that be? That camera never left this office." The implications of that were too horrible to contemplate.
"Well it is and without it the prosecutor isn't so sure of his case. Our word against a really good lawyer might not be enough. Cops covering cops." The blue line circling the wagons to defend their own and against a US senator, no less.
Kate wanted to say that would never happen, however she knew it would under the right circumstances. "What now, sir?" They needed to find that tape and find out who took it. Depending on just when it disappeared it could still be in this building.
"We do our jobs. Without that tape we need something else. Something we can present to a jury," Roy told her. "Stolen right out from under our very noses. If it was Bracken he's well connected and not to be underestimated."
"Damn it!" She had been so close and maybe still was. She just needed more evidence to prove it. But she had a name and she was going to put it to use.
Roy dismissed her. "Get back to work, Beckett. We have a lot to do."
Kate had just made it to her desk when Ryan and Espo intercepted her with their find. Espo went first and opened his DVD to show her. "Heroin, Beckett. The good stuff."
"What did Montgomery want?" Ryan questions her.
"The tape of the confession is gone and without it the prosecutor isn't going after him. Maybe not even for attempted murder." Hers, she meant.
"WHAT!?" Ryan looked around to see how many eyes were on them. "How is that possible? Right out of the middle of the precinct?" Ryan whispered that last part. "How did he even know?" Ryan whispered that part even softer. They hadn't had him that long.
"Where is he now?" Kate asked both of them.
"I'll find him." Ryan left them.
"Hide one of these. Better yet take it to Lanie to analyze. I'm going to find out where Bracken is now." Kate sat down at her desk and activated her computer. "Espo, watch your back." If they got in to steal a tape, what else could he do?
"You don't have to tell me twice." It wasn't safe even in their own precinct.
Espo was gone and Ryan was back and as Kate saw him walk her way he looked a little pale. "Coonan's dead," Ryan murmured.
Kate was totally shocked. Just what the hell was going on around here?
"Stabbed by the look of it. No sign of a struggle and no visitors in the log. If he was still zoned out he might not have even seen him coming." Ryan hated even the thought of it. "You know what this means."
"Bracken's in DC at the moment," Kate said.
"SHIT!" They were in big trouble. If Bracken could kill from long distance and that person could get into the precinct and do all this, they had big, big trouble.
"See if you can find out how he gets from DC to New York and if he's scheduled to be here and where. I'm going to find out who this Johnny Vong is." His name was all over these DVDs.
It sounded simple enough so Ryan went to his desk to get to work.
Kate wasn't going to give up. Not ever for any reason. She finally had a name and just needed proof.

Rick had been invited to Lais and Alexandre's ship and since their pool had been mentioned he was wearing his swimsuit. Swimsuit, not birthday suit. But as he walked in and dropped his towel he saw Lais swimming toward him and stopped at the pool's edge.
"Little over dressed, aren't we?" She was nude and swimming in the pool. That was when he saw her bikini and towel on a different lounge chair.
"Alexandre and Alexis?" He didn't need them walking in on them.
"Watching another movie on your ship. They should be gone for almost two hours, maybe more if they get a snack. So strip and get in." Lais didn't turn away as Rick pulled down his swimsuit and tossed it on his towel.
Lais only had eyes for him as he walked toward her. It was true that she'd seen a lot of him. She'd had him in her mouth and inside her a lot of late, but that didn't stop her from enjoying the view.
Instead of slipping into the water and ending up next to her he jumped in and swam for the far end. All under water. "Oh, no, you don't." He wasn't escaping her so she turned and braced her feet against the wall and pushed off. It didn't matter. He still had a head start on her.
Like Rick she was underwater while trying to catch up to him. Then she saw him do a turn against the far wall, coming her direction. The little shit was going to pass her! Not just pass her but pass under her. Lais had to surface. She took in a deep breath and then tried to get back on his tail.
Rick stopped at the wall and came to the surface to get some much needed air. Just as he had recovered he saw her speeding at him but it was too late for him to get out of the way. Her hands pressed into his chest and she raised up above the water right in front of him. "That was cheating." He had never told her that he knew how to swim that well.
"Surprise!" Rick announced and saw her smiling until she kissed him. "You're not half bad yourself," he said after breaking from the kiss.
"It was a good way to stay in shape without having to spend money on exercise equipment. Early on I was spending it on nursing school." She hadn't been used to being rich. Her first modeling job hadn't earned all that much, but the following ones got bigger and bigger.
"So if I get a boo-boo…" Rick smiled into her lips.
"I can kiss it and make it feel better," Lais replied and reached down to take his cock in her hand as she smiled at him.

The movie was running though neither of them were watching it. Instead they were kissing heavily and Alexis's shirt was wide open as Alexandre's hand roamed across her chest with an occasional pinch of her tiny pink nipple.
But Alexis wasn't idle herself. His pants were open and she had his cock in her hand. She was alternating stroking his cock and rubbing her hand over the head. She was even playing with the opening at the tip that she had learned was a hot spot for him.
When Alexandre moaned into her mouth she was ready for him and did her best to catch all of his climax. After she was sure he was done, she broke from the kiss and licked her hand clean. "Have you considered taking me in your mouth?" She seemed to like the taste of his climax so why lick it from her hand?
Alexis was a little shocked at his offer. She did love the taste of him and was content with what they were doing. "What do you suggest?" There was only just so much area to move around in these seats even if they were large and plush.
In response Alexandre stood up directly in front of her. All Alexis had to do was lean in since he was right in front of her.
She was used to holding his cock so she started with that before finally giving his cock a quick lick. Then she placed his limp cock in her mouth and heard him groan from the pleasure it was bringing him. Alexis soon had him hard and she had also learned that his cock could only go just so far or she would choke on it. His cock also filled her mouth almost completely. It was all she could do to get him into her mouth and still have room to swirl her tongue around.
Then she felt his hands on her head, forcing his cock into her mouth. She choked on his cock and then suddenly he climaxed. In order to get all of it she opened her throat and instantly found more of his cock in her mouth. She had learned something. Now instead of licking her hand clean, she was licking his cock clean.
Alexandre's shaky legs from his climax had him on his knees in front of her. "Scoot forward." She was wearing pants and he reached out to undo them. As he pulled he lifted her ass off the chair.
"What are you doing?" She wasn't ready for him to be inside her. Plus they certainly weren't going to do that here. When they did that it was going to be in a bed.
"You did me so I'm going to do you." Alexandre tugged and all that remained between him and her core were her panties that had a large wet spot. "Scoot forward some more." He placed his fingers under her waistband and pulled her panties off; it was easier when she lifted her ass off the seat.
Alexandre pushed her legs apart and for the first time got to see her core. There was hair but she was keeping it short and it was a really light orange color. Even more so than the hair on her head. He could also see the area shine since she was wet. This was his idea, but he wasn't really sure just what to expect so he reached out with his mouth and tongue slowly. The second his tongue touched her she sucked in a deep breath. In no time he was licking everywhere until he felt her hands on his head and that stopped him from moving all over. He concentrated on where she sent his head.
"OH GOD, OH GOD!" Alexis had used her fingers on herself before and had actually had an orgasm. Except that felt nothing like this. This was absolutely amazing. "OH GOD!" Alexis groaned loudly as the second orgasm of her life washed over her and it was incredibly intense. But Alexandre didn't stop. He just kept licking and licking and had gone back to licking all over the place. Then suddenly he inserted a finger into her.
"OH GOD! Don't stop, please don't stop." Alexis felt her third orgasm rushing up fast.
| 00 | 00 | 00 | 00 | 00 |
They were back to sitting in their seats and while both of them were still naked they were content just as they were. "We need to do that again." Alexandre would love to keep doing what they had just done.
"Yes, please." She still wasn't ready for intercourse, but this had been amazing.

Rick and Lais were sitting next to each other, naked with their feet in the pool. "Still love me?" Being loved by someone was what she badly wanted. She wanted someone to love and be able to be loved back just as passionately.
"Very much." Rick leaned across to give her a quick kiss.
"Good, because I love you very much." Lais twisted so she could slip her arms around his neck.
"I'm glad the Preservers picked you and sent you back. I wasn't sure what I was going to do when I got here. Fight Xindi, I understood that part. But was I going to do it alone and what about Alexandre? He deserved to find someone. I just didn't know how I was going to do that." Live somewhere in Brazil and find a way to get from home to their ship quickly and easily and not be seen.
"I had the same issue. Fight Xindi but just how would we live when we got here? Even now we're designing a place to live but those mountains are a little remote." He still didn't know how they were going to purchase food when their supplies began to run really low.
"How are you handling his school work?" Rick had Rosie, but what was she doing?
"I'm teaching him, but I'm not really a teacher so I fear for him."
"Send him over. He can learn while Alexis does. We have a teacher that he can use as well," Rick offered.
"Really? It's not one of those teachers that the Preserver put on my head, is it?" It had been quick but she was an adult when they had done it. Her son was still a kid.
"No, I'm still not sure just how that things works. No, we have Rosie. She's a robot and has programs that can help Alexis be a heart surgeon or anything else she wants to be. She can do the same for Alexandre." Rick didn't see why it wouldn't work.
"Thank you!" Lais felt her tears well up. Her son meant the world to her. Actually both he and Rick meant the world to her now.
"I'm glad to help." Rick kissed her and felt her reach for his soft cock and stroke it. "Keep that up and you're going to start something," he warned.
"You promise?" Lais smiled and after she had him hard she found herself on her hands and knees on the pool deck being fucked.
| 00 | 00 | 00 | 00 | 00 |
Rick was thinking it was his turn on the bridge only to find Alexis already there. Instead of questioning why he asked a different question instead.
"I offered Rosie to Lais so that Alexandre could use her for his schooling. His mom is home schooling him but she doesn't feel that she's up to the task. Do you mind sharing Rosie with him?" They seemed to be getting along so this shouldn't be a problem.
"No, I don't mind. Sounds like fun." They would actually end up spending more time together and Alexis liked the sound of that.
"Good, he starts in two days, then. …How are the movies coming?" They only had just so many Earth movies to watch.
"Fine, we're almost out of Earth movies." Alexis turned her head to look at her screens since she greatly feared that a blush was painting her face. They weren't actually watching the movies at all, even if they did start one. They spent the movie kissing and had moved on to oral sex recently.
"I'll see if I can download some more." He wanted to stay away from any movie that was filled with violence. However, he wasn't sure just what to do about horror movies. They usually had violence in them but the circumstances of that violence was different from using weapons to kill people in military movies.
Alexis saw something on her screen. "That woman you saved is sending another signal directed at you. She says she wants to talk to you again. What did you do last time?" Her dad hadn't said anything about helping her other than using the medical bed.
"I… She'd signaled earlier and said she wanted to talk. A man got there just before I did with the intent of killing her," Rick said.
"OH, NO!" Alexis's blush left her almost instantly. He had obviously saved her since she was signaling again. "Did you find out why?"
"Well since I used the same ray on her killer that I used on that rhino trying to destroy New York City, yes. But I don't know what she wants now." As far as Rick was concerned she had what she needed.
"So are you going?" Alexis asked.
"I don't know. We came here to protect the planet from the Xindi. Not get involved with all of the problems that people have or specifically one person." Rick needed to think about this. "If I help her does that make me morally obligated to help everyone else on the planet?" There were billions of people on this planet. He wasn't God and didn't have the time to help each and everyone of them. Where did he draw the line if he did start helping?
"So far it's just her calling, wanting to talk to you," Alexis pointed out. "She can't actually do anything to you in your suit. Maybe you should listen, say no, and leave." Problem was even Alexis knew he was a softy so the word no wasn't going to happen. "You could leave her a note asking why. If she answers and you don't like what she wants you don't have to help her. If it's because she wants you to help her… I thought you liked Lais." Lord knows Alexis liked Lais far more than she did Kate.
"I do like Lais. Quite a lot, actually." He was willing to tell Lais that he loved her but telling his daughter that he loved Lais was proving to be harder.
"It's up to you, Dad." Alexis had seen and learned enough for now.
"I've seen you spending a lot of time with Alexandre. …You know you're only 16 years old." Even if she acted several years older.
"I like him and yes, I know that." Alexis hated the way it sounded but he was delving into what she thought was personal and her dad could easily ruin this for her if he tried hard enough.
Alexis sighed since she hated the idea of fighting with him. "We haven't done anything." Provided that you didn't count giving each other orgasms through oral sex. It was also now that Alexis made a decision. "Do you know where Lais is?"
"On her ship I would suspect." Rick watched her leave the bridge. "And see to it that it stays that way. At least until you're 30!" He yelled the last part. If he found out they were having sex he was going to give that kid a piece of his mind. Or maybe a piece of his bracer.
| 00 | 00 | 00 | 00 | 00 |
Lais answered her bedroom door. "Alexis? What's wrong?" Lais looked past her and out into the hall. If her son had done something she was going to give him a piece of her mind.
"Can we use your medical bay?" Her dad was in their ship so using their medical bay was out.
"Oh, God! What happened? Are you hurt?" Lais was no fool. Loving Rick meant loving Alexis. They came as a package and she didn't want to see either of them hurt.
"I'm fine, nothing's wrong. I just need your help with something." Asking Lais for this was far safer than asking her dad.
"Let's see what's wrong." Lais guided her to their medical bay thinking something must be wrong and she could get answers there even if Alexis wasn't willing to talk about it. "Hop up and lie back." Lais patted one of her two medical beds.
"It's not that. I need…" Okay this was almost as hard as asking her dad. "I need birth control," she blurted. There, she'd said it.
"Birth control." That certainly was not what Lais had been thinking. However there were only two men around here and she was keeping Rick very busy satisfying her desires and the thought of him being with his daughter was sick.
"You like Alexandre…, don't you?" Alexis nodded slowly, looking down at the floor. Lais used a finger to lift her head up so she could look her in the eyes. "Does my son know this?" Again she saw Alexis nod only this time with a little more vigor. Then Lais went out on a limb given what Alexis was asking for. "Are you two sexually active?" Her son was 18 and likely full of hormones. Alexis was 16 and likely just as full of hormones.
"No…, I mean, yes. It's just kissing. …And other things," Alexis added so softly Lais almost didn't hear her. "We haven't done it yet." However, Alexis was thinking that one of these times they just might and she needed to be ready.
Lais smiled widely and embraced her. "You must really like him." Lais pulled back to look at her and watched a blush start to creep up as she nodded.
"What does your dad think about this? Or have you told him yet?" Lais was betting not. "Never mind, if you had you wouldn't be here. Okay, now I really need you to lie back for me. I need to verify what will work best for you." Lais patted the bed and waited for Alexis to lie down.
Lais knew what to use and where it went. "Now this won't hurt…much. Less than having your hymen break, which is still intact, by the way." Lais had checked that, too.
Alexis grunted from the pain of having a stem injected. "Since this is your first it's only good for three months. The more you use them the more your body will adapt to them then we can use stems that will last longer, up to a year but no more," Lais warned her. "You're sure you two are ready for this?" Meaning especially her given her age.
"I don't know. I just don't want an accident." She didn't want to be 16 and pregnant.
"Well for a 16-year-old you are the most amazing 16-year-old I've ever met." To actually plan ahead was remarkable for this age. She had lost her virginity at 17 and hadn't even thought about making sure she didn't get pregnant. She hadn't then, but she had a little later. Just not with the same guy. Ending up pregnant with Alexandre had been a surprise. An unpleasant one at the time, yet now she wouldn't change a thing.
"Now I need to find my son." Lais had plans.
"Please don't tell him." Alexis didn't need him thinking she was ready for that.
"I promise. I'm going to get him in here and give him a stem, too. Just in case." And bend his ear that if he wasn't nice to Alexis or got her pregnant so young she was going to skin him alive even if he was her son and loved him.
