Bobby and Ross work with Upstate New York Law Enforcement to catch the "Notorious Serial Killers."
CHAPTER FOUR: The Never wrong, Detective Goren
Operation E - Killers
By the time Major Case arrives, local law enforcement has the motel surrounded. As best they can … they are a force of nine. Two of which have called in sick. The two "women" have already checked in, although, mysteriously enough, no one has seen them. Alex has yet to arrive. Bobby calls her on her cell … he's nervous that they know of his sting and that they have kidnapped her en-route.
"Hey Bobby …miss me already."
"Terribly. Are you there yet?"
"No, I stopped at a book store … I picked up a forensics book for you. A little fore play for when I get back."
Everyone of course, is listening … he wants to crawl under the police van.
"Oh gee, thanks … well, safe trip, gotta go."
And with that, he quickly disengages the phone. He knows his Alex too well. The rest of the conversation could easily turn to phone sex … obviously … this was not the time or the place.
They all settle in and wait for her arrival. They stakeout the rooms of the "women" and Alex's room all next door to each other. Bobby's plan is well thought out and methodical … he will not allow anything to happen to the woman that he loves. They wait.
Alex arrives and checks into her room. Bobby has planted a bug in there so he could at least hear her side of a phone conversation … it paid off. In some ways … he wishes it hadn't.
"Hey Delia … I'm finally here. (silence) No, no. It was Bobby. (silence) Well really me, I seduced him. (laughing) I wanted more mighty sword stories to tell you and Annie. (silence) I know, right. I should write my own book.(silence) What should I call it? (silence) Delia, you're so bad. (laughing) Is that Annie laughing?(silence) I'll be right there."
Bobby … a very embarrassed Bobby … gets on his radio to make sure everyone is on alert.
"Okay … she's coming out of her room and heading into suite 78A - Registered to Delia Jones. Heads up ladies and gentlemen, they are notorious serial killers in there."
Alex knocks on Delia's door. The door opens and she's grabbed and pulled into a tight embrace. The door slams. Moments later, Alex screams. Bobby rushes the room.
"MOVE, MOVE!"
He breaks the door down. He doesn't wait for the uniforms or anyone else … he's going to save his Alex.
He goes busting through the door … Ross follows, Jeffries, Patricks, Wheeler, the local law enforcement uniformed officers. Ira hangs back in the van with his laptop … guns are drawn … they are screaming …
"NYPD … FREEZE!"
Alex, Delia and Annie are frozen. Standing in front of all of Bobby's peers, is a life size cutout of The Almighty Sword character dressed like Bobby with a dildo attached … that's why Alex screamed. One of Delia's hobbies was art … she thought Alex would get a kick out of the character cutout. She did! It was too funny and quite accurate. Annie's contribution was stopping at the porn shop and purchasing the largest dildo she could find. It was attached and swinging away.
It was very obviously Bobby … black T-shirt … which read … Detective Goren As The Almighty Sword! Cumming Soon to a Theater Near You. Rated 13 Wide. Delia had even placed black jeans balled up around the ankles … she left no stone un-turned … it was even commando.
Bobby stands there with his hand over his eyes, motionless. He wants to find that van again and crawl under it. He peeks through his fingers to see how accurate the Almighty Sword is … a little grin escapes underneath his embarrassment.
Ross places his hand on Goren's back … "Notorious serial killers, huh?"
Jeffries approaches him. "Damn Goren, are you really that big?"
Alex, with hands on her hips, retorts … "Yeah he is … a big jackass!"
Delia and Annie, now calming down from the shock of the door being kicked in off it's hinges … are swooning over Bobby.
"Oh Alex … his heart was in the right place … look, he's so damn cute. He's blushing, we've embarrassed him."
"Yeah Al, Deel's right. He's even shuffling his feet … give him a break."
Alex is standing there looking at him shaking her head. The local Captain looks at the cutout figure and back at Goren …
"I don't think she'll be mad at you for too long son … not if you're really packing that in your draws."
He pats him on the back and exit's the room.
Wheeler walks up to the cutout figure and asks Annie … "does that thing have batteries?"
Annie … looking confused, nods her head. Wheeler grabs it … "Evidence." And walks off with it.
Bobby sneaks a glance at Alex, but quickly looks back down at his feet … if he didn't know how much trouble he was in, her glare told the story. She grabs his hand and leads him to her room … Ira starts humming familiar porn music … bow chic a bow bow. Alex stops dead in her tracks and looks directly at Ira whom retreats quickly into the van. Snickers are heard all around, even Bobby has that adorable grin on his face … not that Alex will see it. When she looks at him, he hides it and looks remorseful for his actions.
She closes the door and he waits for the explosion.
"Robert Goren … how could you embarrass me in front of my friends and co-workers like that!?"
He looks at her stunned. He was figuring … How could you not trust my judgment? Or, I am a detective too, ya know? Or even, I did do a background check on them before I met them. BUT … who was embarrassed?
"Excuse me … You? Embarrassed? He now approaches her and uses his size … no, not that size … to intimidate her. First of all … Meg knows I go COMMANDO! I can't help it if I don't fit in briefs or boxers! But did you have to announce it to the world? And secondly … I can't help it if I worry about you. I do love you, you know? I was the one embarrassed back there … The Almighty Fucking Sword swinging away for all of Major Case to see! They already think I'm a whack job. Now I'm a whack job that should be a fucking porn star."
Alex can't help but laugh … she, since the first time she saw it … thought that as well. Not the whack job part.
"Who's fault is all of this, Bobby? If you had just trusted the fact that I was meeting friends and not serial killers … none of this would have happened."
"Why do you need friends, anyway? You have me, you have your family … why do you feel the need to meet these women and discuss romance novels?"
"We're not meeting to discuss romance novels … we do that on line. We came up here to un-wind … to escape our daily routine. I have more guy friends than girlfriends … it's nice to talk to other women."
"About my … ah … sword?"
"Yes … about your sword … that's what we talk about, among other things."
"Like what other things?"
"I talk about Nate and work. How I like antiques. Stuff."
He lets out an exasperated sigh … "I have to go face the music from Ross. I'll see you back in the city. Have fun with the girls."
He walks out without giving her a kiss. She follows behind feeling like she's the one that did something wrong.
Ross and the rest of team "Operation E-Killers" were all waiting for him to come out of Alex's room. They were all talking amongst themselves when he came out.
"Well Detective, I see that your Partner let you out alive."
"Yes Captain. I'm sorry for all of this."
"You know Goren … I have to say that usually, you're never wrong. It was your intense love for your partner that sent us on this wild goose chase."
"Yes Sir … I realize that. Does this mean …"
"It means that, I wish I had someone in my life that I cared for that much. Come on … let me buy you a beer."
"Sir?"
"Oh what the hell? I can finally say … you were wrong about something."
"Yes Sir … I suppose I won't be hearing the end of this anytime soon?"
"Considering the fact that it's going to be on the front page of the local news paper … I don't think so."
"Yeah Goren … Patricks runs up to him, he's all excited … can I have your autograph? I hear there's a movie producer in town. They heard about your … ah … prowess in the ah … bedroom. They want you to star in their next flick. They're calling it … Detective Goren's Big Glock."
He looks over at Ross. Ross shrugs and smiles … "This is why I'm buying you a beer … I think you need it."
"You better make it several."
"It's going to keep happening … It will die down, Goren. It may take awhile though."
Ira comes out from hiding. "Detective Goren? What's it feel like to be wrong?"
Bobby shoots him a look he only reserves for perps … Ira is not seen again in Upstate New York.
Bobby, the two Captains and Jeffries were all heading out … heading straight for the local watering hole, when Alex came up behind him and wraps her arms around him. He practically jumps out of his own skin.
"What's your problem Goren?"
"Oh no … I'm not giving you any more to talk about with your little friends. Go talk to them about your antiques … I'm off limits!"
"Okay, that's it! She shouts out … HE HAS A PENCIL DICK … HE CAN'T EVEN KEEP IT UP!"
She walks off with Delia and Annie laughing.
He yells after her … "Lola's in the city, ya know."
She stops and turns back to him. "She has man hands, Bobby"
"You and I both know, I don't have a pencil dick … I'm just saying!"
Alex wouldn't let him leave … he got his way. Bobby and his Glock, spent the week-end.
