CH. 8
Everyone was on their job handling the business David related to his girlfriend Ophelia. Ophelia was on the internet researching Dream Catchers. Vanessa was on the phone checking up on the numbers that Nikki gave her. Nikki was just pulling up on W. Link Road in Wyandotte, Michigan. She recognized the vehicle parked out in front of the house. It was her cousin Detective Latrina Days’ car. Nikki parked and watched as she saw the officers on the outsidesurveilling around the house. She got out and started approaching the house.
Officer Nelson held his hand up, “Hold right there. You can’t enter the premises right now.”
Nikki standing close enough to pass Officer Nelson her business card, “How are you officer, my name is Nikki and I noticed Detective Days’ vehicle (Nikki pointing over to Detective Days’ car). I’m her cousin and private investigator. Is it possible you can let her know I’m out here?”
Everyone was huddled together in the living room of the house they were searching when Sgt. Rhodes walkie-talkie went off, “Sgt. Rhodes, Officer Nelson here, come in.”
“Sgt. Rhodes here, Officer Nelson is everything clear out there?”
“Check, Sgt. Rhodes is everything clear out here?” Clears his throat, “But we have a private investigator out here, Detective Days’ cousin.”
Latrina heard the message and replied to Sgt. Rhodes, “Sgt. That’s my cousin Nikki, she must know something or investigating something that would have made her come all the way out here.” She gestures her two hands together about three inches below her chin as if she’s praying giving him an obscure look, “Please Sarge, just one favor I ask, can she come in?”
Sgt. Rhodes seeing the hurt in her eyes after he saw the pictures of her daughter she showed him made him realize it was meant for her cousin Nikki to show up, “Officer Nelson, escort Nikki in --- over.”
“Roger,” Officer Nelson responded. “Nikki, its okay, come on.”
“Thank you,” Nikki responded.
The two approached the entrance with Officer Nelson opening the door allowing Nikki to enter. When Nikki enters she sees her cousin Detective Day holding pictures in her hand shedding tears from her eyes. She rushes over to her grabbing her to comfort and find out what’s wrong with her, “What’s wrong Trina?”
Trina lamenting even more passes Nikki the pictures.
“Oh my God, Leslie, where did you get these pictures and what’s wrong with that guy on the couch?”
Detective Day answering in a sobbed voice, “I found these pictures upstairs in the closet alone with other pictures taped to the wall inside of a closet. The guy on the couch is dead,” Detective Day said.
Officer Bingham walks over toward Detective Day and Nikki, “Did I hear you say you found those pictures upstairs on a wall?”
“Yes, “Detective Day responded.
“Can I have a look at them?” Officer Bingham asked.
Detective Day passes the pictures to Officer Bingham. He takes a brief look at them, passes them back and walks over to Sgt. Rhodes.
“Hey Sarge,” he whispers.
“Yeah,” the sarge whispers back. “What’s the big secret, why are you whispering?”
“Detective Day just showed me some pictures of her daughter. She’s in the basement, their all dead, all six of them lying on wooded tables.”
“Damn Officer Bingham why didn’t you say this earlier?”
“I did, that is what I was telling you about that was important downstairs you have to see,” Officer Bingham responded.
Sergeant Rhodes stood up and looked at everone, “Ok everyone listen up, were about to search the basement and after that we’ll continue our search upstairs. Detective Day, you can stay up here with your cousin Nikki.”
“No Sarge, I would like to continue the search as well,” Detective Day replied.
“All is said. Then Nikki could you stay with your cousin?”
“As long as it’s not a problem with you,” Nikki responds.
“Everyone behind me,” Sgt. Rhodes commanded. “Detective Day, everyone be prepared to the worst.”
Sgt Rhodes proceeded walking from the living room into the dining room making a quick right leading to the kitchen. Now he’s making another right heading to the door leading to the basement. After taking five steps down stairs as everyone followed, Sgt. Rhodes became disheartened after seeing the children lying on wood tables that looked like some wood someone had just cut and drilled together. He stops and turn around while holding onto the rail with his right hand putting his left hand up in the stop position, “Hold right there.” He lets go of the rail and presses his chirp button. Chirp, chirp, Sgt. Rhodes to dispatch, come in dispatch.”
Ophelia’s back at the office fulfilling her duties. She is dialing her first number, 313-555-1125. The phone rings three times before someone answers. The phone picks up on the other end, “Hello.”
“How are you, is this the Lighthorse residence?” Vanessa asks?
“Yes it is. May I ask who is it I’m speaking with?”
“Yes you may Ms. Lighthorse. My name is Vanessa and I’m calling on behalf of a non-profit organization. We have a team of pro-bono lawyers that look into the cases of the wrongfully accused. Are you the mother of Andrew Lighthorse?”
“Yes I am,” Ms. Lighthorse responded.
“Well we have been researching Andrews’ case. Would it be possible if I could check for the next available appointment I can schedule for one of our attorneys to come out and discuss with you how we may be able to assist your son?”
You could see the joy on Ms. Lighthorse face, “Why, yes, I would be pleased to speak with one of your attorneys Vanessa.”
“Thank you Ms. Lighthorse, I’ll be giving you a call back soon.”
“That’s fine and thank you so much for your concern.”
“Thank you as well and you have a blessed day Ms. Lighthorse,” Vanessa said.
“You have a blessed day as well, bye, bye.”
“Goodbye,” Vanessa responded.
Both parties hung up.
“Ophelia was at home handling her requests as well pounding away on the keyboard pulling up everything possible on dream catchers and printing it. Hours had passed by. She had a stack of sheets, maybe about forty to fifty sitting in the tray opening of the printer. She was getting tired and a little buzzed from the cognac on the rocks she was drinking.
The phone starts ringing, ring, ring, ring, “Hello.” She presses five accepting the collect call from David.
“Ha pretty, did you get a chance to talk to my Aunt Nikki? David asked.
“Oh yeah hunny, I spoke to her. She asked me if I had heard something about missing kids and then said she’ll check into that Lighthorse. About an hour later a news cast came on and they said there were six children found dead in the basement of a home in Wyandotte, Michigan. They even found the abductor in the living room on the couch dead.”
“Did they say how the guy on the couch died?” David asked.
“No, they just said authorities weren’t releasing any information until everyone was identified,” Ophelia responded.
Back at the Crystal House Donald was feeling good. He was trying to zip up his pants while Trina was stroking his manhood in the palm of her hands.
“Hold on ba’ I’m about to go in and get us a room, we can’t do out here in the parking lot.”
“Hurry baby I’m wet. It’s throbbing baby.” She’s talking slurrishly, “I want to feel you inside of me Daddy.”
Donald gets out of the car, “Be right back in a second, keep it wet for me now.”
Donald makes his way to the office. He’s in there for a few minutes or so while Trina’s inside of the car playing with herself with her eyes closed. Donald exits the office and makes his way back to the vehicle. As he approaches the car he could see Trina hand between her legs under her skirt as he witness her lips moving in the motions of her moans.
Donald opens Trina door, “Save some of that juice for me sexy.”
Donald takes Trina by the hand and escorts her out the car. “Baby I’m soaking wet. I got juice for you all night Daddy,” Trina responded as Donald escorted her to the room.
Room 118, Donald opens the door, Trina walks in and take her high heels off and flops on the bed with her legs open. She’s moaning rubbing between the crevices of her inner thighs, “Is this what you want Daddy? She’s a naughty girl, come beat her up.”
Donald had a bag in his hand with drinks inside. A fifth of Quervo 1800 Silver, two lemons, salt and two large plastic cups.
He set everything atop the dresser drawer, licked the back of his hand, put salt on it and said, “Let’s have a few drinks first.” He filled his cap up, downed his shot and licked the salt from the back of his hand.
“Anymore of that and I’m go want to tell you to,” Trina started singing, (“Beat it, eat it, taste it—now feel it up-baby, now-make her go—crazy, with, with---your lovin’, got a sexual feelin’ , to your sexual appealin’, that-makes-me-want-to-tell-you-to-tear-it-up). Now let me stop trippin’. Of course I’ll have a drink with you, but think you’ll be able to satisfy my needs when were done?”
Donald was fixing Trina a shot, “Definitely sexy, it will be guaranteed all night satisfaction from me.”
Donald sat down on the bed next to Trina and passed her the cap of Quervo 1800 Silver and had the salt in his other hand. “I want some lemon to,” Trina requested.
Donald got up and grabbed the lemon for her, sat back down and gave it to her. Trina licked the back of her hand and sprinkled salt on it, then took her drink like a man, licked the salt from the back of her hand. Then Donald grabbed her, they kissed and were like two wild horses untamed. Trina was wild just the way Donald liked it. Donald was already aroused and Trina was the total package, 5’7, 140lbs, 36c, caramel but a light caramel. The texture of her skin, no flaws were visible, her skin look with caressed. Her face had a polite brightness to it and the seductive move she was in had Donald reeled in. A lot went down in the room. The two of them sweat together in laughter staring in each others eyes. Donald still on top with a piece of sweat dripping from his nose onto Trina’s nose makes them laugh as they kiss. A kiss of passion.
Trina was really digging Donald. “I can do this forever,” Trina moaned seductively.
Donald still on top staring at her kisses her while he is rubbing her hair backwards. He rises up the both of them opening their eyes at the same time caught up in rapture. “Well you know what? I feel like this could be forever, if we were under the alter, I would say –I DO.-
Trina with her eyes closed and a smile on her face inhales and exhales with a moan saying, “Hmmm, hmmm, I know a place where that can happen right now baby.
Dante looked at her joyously and said, “Stop playin’ wit’ yo’ sexy self, we’ll have a drink to that.”
“You first and I’m following.”
Dante looks at her, fills his cap and chug it up. Licks his salt and taste a little lemon while Trina licks the back of her hand and has it out next to him. He sprinkles a little salt on the back of her hand, filled the cap and passed it to Trina. She downed it, passed the cap back to Dante as she licked the salt off the back of her hand, getting the lemon out of Dante’s hand. He put the cap back on the bottle as Trina got a light taste of lemon. They both placed their items on the table next to the bed caressing, hugging and kissing more. There were a succulent of vibes profounded between them. To Donald she was his princess. To Trina she felt comfortable, protected. Don’t forget the two of them buzzing in the club but the both of them were still having shots continuously. They kissed again. A long passionate one, both of them commenced moaning at the same time.
“Baby, I’m ready whenever you are, I can feel my soul-mate,” Donald said.
“Ooh I like that, someone who can take control, then I follow my throne, my king and I will be his queen.”
He takes Trina by the hand and grabs her under gear holding it out on his forefinger, “Come on let’s do it, I’m serious. I can be with you for the rest of my life,” Donald says. Trina grabs her under garments and started putting them on, Donald started putting his on making sure to keep the same paste as Trina while she was getting dressed. Trina is putting on her earrings while he is buttoning up his shirt. Trina is now getting ready to put her belt on as Donald walks over to her putting on his belt. He was precise with his timing as the both of them buckled up together. They looked at each other once more and began kissing.
Trina pauses on the kiss, “Hold on, wait a minute, what are we going use for our rings?” she asked.
“Where is the alter room that you’re talking about?” Donald asked.
“It’s in the Northwest Activity Center located on the corner of Curtis and Meyers. Family and I know a pastor that leases a suite there and he turned it into a 24hr. alter room for people who wanted a quick and simple marriage. All I have to do is call him; he’ll be there in about fifteen or twenty minutes, but what about the rings?” Trina asked again.
“I have a new men’s ring I bought last month. It’s still new in the box, never wore it. We can go and get it, then shoot up to the 24hr Super K-Mart, quickly pick out a women’s ring, you call the pastor when were on our way back to the city and we can all meet up at the same time.”
“I’m wit’ it, what are we waiting on?”
Donald grabs his keys off the table along with the drink, salt and lemon. Trina grabs her purse and the two of them whisks out of the room. Donald is a total complete gentlemen opening the door for Trina. Before Trina can get in, he turns her around and gives her another kiss with a firm embrace.
“So you’re going to be my wifey?” Donald asks.
“Will you cherish the moment and good times we just had in sickness and in health till death do us part?”
“I will,” Donald, answered.
“So like I said, what are we waiting on?” Trina asked once more.
Donald kisses her one last time, “Now we’re waiting on you to get in,” Donald says.
Trina gets in, Donald closes the door and in on the driver side. He takes in a deep breath and exhales, “Guess you’re about to be all mines princess.”
Trina rubbing him down starting from his chest down to his private part says, “And I guess all this will be mines my Knight in Shining Armor.”
Trina did not know she was about to commit to a multi-millionaire well-established real estate owner. She also didn’t have time to learn of the skeletons of his pass which brought the dark side of with the territory.
DeanteClankton, President and CEO of his real estate company, D’Clankton Realtors, LLC. He’s Driving west now on 8 Mile Rd. Pulls up in front of his house in Farmington Hills and ask Trina, “Would you like to come in?”
“No, you go on in and grab your ring. I have plenty of time to come in.”
Donald goes in grabs his ring and is back in the car within minutes. He gets in, puts the car in drive and takes off. “You do know I said we’ll go to a 24hr K-Mart, but that’s just for now. Were going later on to get a real ring that represents you as my wife boo.”
Trina glanced into Donald’s eyes zealously as she called the pastor. He picks up on his end of the line, “Hello, Pastor Gleamor.”
“Hi pastor, this Trina, I need you.”
“What could you need this early in the morning?” Pastor Gleamor asks.
My soul mate and I were thinking about eloping, but I told him about your 24hr. alter room. Is it available?”
“Yes, I could provide these services, but let me be honest, the ceremony is going to be very brief and quick and then four to six weeks you should be receiving your marriage license in the mail. It will take us approximately ten minutes to perform the ceremony and take care of the paper transactions, the cost is two hundred and fifty dollars.”
Donald is whispering to Trina, “Ha, what’s he saying?”
She whispers back, “He saying the ceremony will be brief and quick. The cost is two hundred and fifty dollars.”
“Ask him how long before he get there?” Donald ask Trina to ask the pastor.
“So how long will it take for you to get there pastor?” Trina ask.
“I should be there in about twenty minutes.”
“Good, we should be arriving at the same time,” Trina say.
“Ok, see you there in twenty minutes.”
“See you there,” Trina says as she hangs up the phone.
Donald pulling into the K-Mart Supercenter located on Telegraph, “Were here princess.”
“You got us here quick. That’s good,because the pastor said he’ll be there in twenty minutes.”
Donald is now parking in a spot across from the entrance, “Twenty minutes, we better put a rush on it,” he said.
Trina and Donald exit the car at the same time and enter K-Mart. They found the jewelry department and quickly chose a ring. They were in and out in less than five minutes. Donald taking Telegraph Rd. south entering the John C. Lodge Freeway south coming up on the 7 Mile exit makes a left, then a right on Meyers Rd. They pulled into the Northwest Activity Center located at the southeast corner of Meyers off Curtis.
“There is Pastor Gleamor car. I’ll call him and let him know were here,” She’s dialing, Pastor Gleamor picks up, “Hello.”
“Hi are you pastor, were at the door.”
“On my way down,” Pastor Gleamor answers.
Trina and Donald now at the door hug and give each other a nice short peck on the lips. Pastor Gleamor opens the door and Donald and Trina follows him upstairs where he performs his ceremonies. He opens the door, Trina and Donald follows him upstairs where Pastor Gleamor performs his ceremonies.
He opens the door, “Ok Trina, I need you two to come over here and stand in front of the palladium.” He reaches his right hand out, “I need two hundred and fifty dollars before we start the ceremony.”
Donald passed the monies requested and the two of them were married in no time. They both said their I do’s.
“You may now kiss the bride,” Pastor Gleamor acknowledges.
Donald picks up Trina and the both of them kisses passionately as if they were high school sweethearts. The pastor passes Donald a sheet on a clipboard, “Here, I need the both of your signatures and date it by the x-marks. I can then send your paperwork off and you should be receiving your marriage license in the mail within four to six weeks.”
Donald signs and dates it, then passes it to Trina. She signs with her maiden and new last name Clankton,dates it and passes the tablet back to Pastor Gleamor.
He takes the tablet, “Ok, that’s it. We are all done here. May the two of you live a long and prosperous life together?”
“Thank you Pastor Gleamor,” Trina said.
Donald giving the pastor a handshake says, “And I like to thank you as well for performing our ceremony on such short notice.”
“That’s no problem, that’s what this alter room is for. Occasions like this, require spontaneous, quick on the spot marrying. Propose today, and get married in minutes. Ok, I got to tale it on home. I still have important business to take care of in the morning.”
Pastor Gleamor, Trina and Donald all leaves the alter room now exiting the Northwest Activity Center. They get in their cars and depart.
“Man, I can’t believe this, one night in a bar and I’m married,” Donald said.
“See what alcohol will do to you. You don’t think you made a mistake do you?” Trina asked.
“Oh baby, this could never be a mistake being married to you. Look at you, you are gorgeous, I love you. Love at first sight, I’ll love you for the rest of my life,” Donald responded.
“I feel the same way, but now how do I introduce you to my daughter and family. She’s eight years old and no one has never seen you. How do I explain getting married on such short notice? How are we going to do our living arrangements?” Trina asks Donald.
“I have plenty of room boo. If you like, I would like for you and your daughter to move in with me. You can get your stuff together and when your daughter goes to school in the morning we can go out and buy a few things to prepare her bedroom and as far as you, if I got you, I got us.”
“You sure know how to make a lady feel safe and secure. Ohhh this is a good feeling I’m feeling right now. You know I want some more of that good loving big sexy before I go home and start preparing my things,” Trina says.
“Who you tellin’, I could never have enough of you. It’s only five thirty in the morning, we have the room till eleven. What about your daughter, doesn’t she have school in the morning?”
Trina is calling her sister Danita in the early morning hour as she is answering Donald’s question, “Of course she has school, but my sister will take her.”
Danita sluggishly answers the phone, “Hello.”
“Morning Danita, I know it’s early, but can you take Tina to school in the morning? I’ll be there shortly with something I hope to be good news,” Trina said.
Danita glances at the time on her cell phone, “Girl it’s five thirty five in the morning, what do you have so important this time of the morning?
“Danita I just need this one favor. I know it’s early, but if you can take her to school, I promise i’ll be home. I have something to tell you.”
“Go ahead and handle your business, I have the alarm set anyway. I got Tina. See you when you get here, I want to hear the good news,” Danita said.
“Thanks, see you when I get there.”
“Ok, bye,” Danita replied.
Both parties hung up.
Donald’s pulling back up to the hotel, “So what she say wifey?” Donald asks.
“Just like I said, she got her, now what are we about to do?” She ask as she gropes his manhood.
“You already know what we about to do, lets see who gives first
