CHAPTER 50

She was a beautiful one he thought as he watched her parade herself in front of the mirror. He was thoroughly enjoying looking at her body when he noticed the scars across her stomach. He was intrigued with them, wondering how she got them, whoever did that to her was sloppy because she survived. It would be different with him.

There wasn't a phone call to wake Tylo up the next morning, she thought maybe he got the hint and moved on. She thought about the encounter with Frank the night before and was convinced that Mabel was trying to play matchmaker. She would have loved to stick around and see how Mabel explained why she had been there, it was obvious by the look on Frank's face, he did not know she was there.

Frank was mad as hell at Mabel for the stunt she pulled, but the investigation was getting more time consuming so he had to suck it up. He had spoken to Mabel about keeping Veronica until the weekend, since Alex was going to be undercover from Wednesday though Friday. He was hoping some kind of break would come in the case before another innocent woman is murdered.

Cody had made sure Alex's picture was distributed to the Chicago PD so they would not interfere with the team's undercover work. Alex had put a red rinse in her hair and green contracts for her eyes. She was ready to go. At roll call, Alex's picture was distributed for the evening shift so they would not pick her up working the streets. He wanted to laugh out loud because the best of the best didn't have a clue to where or whom he was going to strike next.

Tylo was getting more at ease; the mystery caller had not contacted her. Maybe he got tired of the player not playing with him. Alex wasn't getting anywhere; of course she didn't have a clue of who she was looking for. All she could do was to work on the profile that Monica had worked up. White male, late 30's, some kind of grudge, and very clever.

They patrolled the city blocks watching the streets; he was looking for someone in particular. Alex caught his eye and he said to his partner, "There's the UC, should we have some fun?"

"Man, are you nuts didn't you listen what was said at roll call?" His partner replied.

"Yeah, but if we don't do a little hassling, her cover won't be as good." He reasoned.

His partner pulled over by the curb and they both exit the car. "Shit." Cody said.

"What's wrong?" Frank asked.

"Our friendly officers just parked and are walking the sidewalk."

"Didn't you send the info?"

"Yeah. Should I warn her?" Cody asked.

"Go ahead."

"Oh sweet thing, this is your sugar daddy. Be advised you have two blues walking towards you. Nod your head if you understood."

Alex spotted the blues, they were suppose to stay clear, but she would handle them. She nodded her head to let 'Sugar Daddy' know she knew.

They approached Alex and he said, "Evening red."

Alex gave him a smile and said, "Evening yourself."

"New to the area?" He asked.

"Just trying to catch a ride, officer. Is there a law against that?

"Depends on what happens during the ride."

"I can assure you it's just a ride."

"Alright now, be careful."

Nothing compared to the one he picked, he would do this one just because. He was anxious to get home and see the real raving beauty.

Frank wanted to call Tylo all day to thank her for helping Veronica, but never found the time. She probably wasn't expecting him to call either, but just the same, tomorrow he needed to do it. At one in the morning they called it a night, they were still at square one.

He got home, got comfortable, and sat down in front of his computer. He viewed the house live and seems Tylo has bedded down for the night so he went to the disc of the early hours. He cropped and made still photos; he was drooling as he printed them. He thought 'wait until she sees these beauties'!!!!
