The Escape (Detective Jane Sparrow Book 2) (12 page)

“Jesus Amy reminds me never to piss you off.”

             
“I’m sorry I didn’t mean to be harsh. It’ just we are all upset about losing Jack and scared that it could have been you.  I was serious when I said that for the most part this team still hasn’t forgiven themselves for the first time you were taken. I know you suffered more than any of us in that situation but it doesn’t mean the team has forgot it either.”

“I know Amy thanks.”

Jane and Amy headed on back to Jane’s desk where the Superintendent and Ian were still waiting.

              “Dave left this boss when he collected the package. He said it was some more updated information on our first victim Helen Moore. He said you needed to read it ASAP.”

Jane opened the file confused as to what new information it could pertain to. As far as Jane was aware they had all the information about Helen Moore they were going to get except what the white powder substance in her hair was. But as to why that would come form Dave Jane had no idea. Jane then remembered that they hadn’t had the toxicology results back either yet but she thought that it would be too quick for that. Jane quickly scanned through the file trying to find the section that Dave had highlighted to show that it contained new information. It was about the victim’s stomach content Jane had forgotten they hadn’t had the results for that yet either. The analysis had came back showing that they had found tissue samples congruent with her having ingested her own eyelids. As well as the tissue that they found in the stomach contents being consistent with the shape and form of the eyelids, there was also another sample but they were unsure as to where that had come from. They were going to try and do a DNA sample but the tissue may be too degraded for proper analysis. Jane couldn’t believe what she was reading she had to re read it three times, physically and mentally her brain could not comprehend the information that is was trying to process. With the cruelty of Jack’s liver being removed while he was still alive and then being sent as a package to his grieving girlfriend. Jane didn’t think that Thaddeus could be capable of anything worse. But he had taught Jane a valuable lesson never to underestimate him because he had just managed a lot worse.

              “What is it Jane? You look like your going to be sick.”

“The Doctor analysed the stomach content for Helen Moore. He found tissue samples in her stomach that is consistent with her having ingested her own eyelids. Not only did Thaddeus cut and tare off her eyelids. He fed them to her.”

              “You have got to be kidding.”

“I wish I were sir. I thought it was bad enough with what he had done to Jack but were heading into a whole new level of psychosis here.”

Amy had only managed to hear the first bit before she had run off with her hand over her mouth to the bathroom. She definitely was suffering with nausea and this case certainly wasn’t helping. Jane looked up from the file after reading it one last time to confirm she had read it correctly to find that Eric and Annie were walking towa
rds her. Annie was still looking rather upset but a lot calmer than when she first came into the station.

              “Detective I just wanted to apologise before I left. Eric explained the situation to me a bit better and I am sorry for the things that I said. I am very sorry I am in deep grief for the loss of Jack and the shock of that, that package it drove me over the edge. I needed someone to lash out at and blame and it was easier to aim it at you I am very sorry.”

“I understand Annie please you have nothing to apologise for I am sorry. I am the Detective I am responsible for my teams safety when out in the field I should of made sure that Jack was safe, I should of made sure all of them were safe. I underestimated the man that murdered your partner I never expected him to go after my team. I’m sorry that that doesn’t make it better for you. If I could do anything to bring Jack back I would. I know I can say for all of us in this room Jack will be missed. He was very well loved by us all.”

              “Thank you Detective for being so understanding. As much as it is your duty to keep this team safe I hope you know not much would of changed Jack’s actions. He was old fashioned in his views to a degree it made him a gallant and brave man. And I know that he regarded you highly. I believe he would always stand in the line of fire to protect anyone he cared about. I forgot that for a moment. As he was brave I need to be now when facing life without him. Again I am sorry Detective I will be in touch in a more appropriate form if Thaddeus contacts me again.”

“Thank you Annie takes care. Call us if you need anything.”

              “I’ll walk you out Annie.”

With that Eric and Annie left the station. Jane rang Perry to say she was ready for him to come and get her as by this point it was past eight and the team had a lot to do tomorrow. They all waited with her until Perry arrived and helped to fill him in on all the new details of the case. The part about Jack’s liver and Helen Moore’s eyelids even managed to turn Perry’s stomach that was normally so solid on everything. Poor Amy had to fight the urge to be sick again as well.

“Ok guys were meet back here at say half seven and get cracking on with our large list of tasks. All of you be safe ok.”

Jane stepped into the car with Perry as her three tailing police officers lined up to escort Jane to wherever Perry had booked for them to stay the night. They drove in the car in silence for no more than ten minutes when they pulled over into a hotel car park. Nowhere near as grand and picturesque as last nights. It was a run of the mill motorway hotel but Jane didn’t mind as long as it had a warm bed and a hot shower that was all she really cared about.

             
“Sorry it’s not as upmarket as last nights hotel but I thought it would be a good idea as well as moving around a lot to change the pattern of the type of hotel we stay in. I don’t want Thaddeus thinking we are developing a pattern at all.”

“Perry the hotel is fine as long as it has a warm bed, a hot shower and you in I couldn’t care less what it looks like. Now come on let’s go check in.”

Again two officers followed Jane and Perry through into the hotel reception they were to be the security detail on Jane’s hotel room for the night. The other escorting officers were to stay in the car park and do a lap and check of the perimeter every hour. They reached the reception desk to find the young gentlemen behind talking rather animatedly to another member of staff about his weekend plans and how his last date went. He paid no attention to the fact that there was two police officers with Jane and Perry and that they were all standing there as he continued to talk. Jane could feel the impatience pouring off Perry to the point that he actually interrupted with a very loud cough and “I’d like to check in please’. The young girl that the obviously gay young gentleman was talking to looked absolutely mortified. The young man with his over the top hand gestures, perfectly styled hair and what seemed to be a permanent affixed tan gave them a disdainful look as his latest rendition of his date was interrupted as he checked them in. It wasn’t until that he actually looked up from his computer screen and saw the two police officers that he started to regard Jane and Perry with any interest. The escorting police officers requested chairs to sit on as they were going to be keeping guard at their hotel room for the night that he pretty much became overwhelmed with excitement at the potentiality of gossip.

              “Ooh I love a man in uniform. So come on give me the gossip what’s the big security detail for. I don’t recognise them so they can’t be famous?”

              “I’m sorry sir but its classified information. The chairs sir?”

              “Ooh spoils sports. Go ahead and take the ones from the lobby over there. I’ll be on reception all night if you two handsome boys need anything ok Huns.”

Jane and Perry headed on up to their room and left the security detail setting the chairs and position up for the night at the door. Their room was nothing special or fancy it was just a standard double bedroom. Jane knew Perry was going to want to talk about what Annie had did she saw it on his face the minute he heard the update. But to be fair Jane was over it. There was no point thinking or worrying on something that she can’t change.

“I’m going to go jump in the shower would you care to join me Mr Fierce?”

              “Yes, yes I would but first I want to talk to you about what happened with Annie today. You need to talk to me….”

“Stop right there ok. I don’t need to talk I’m over it. Annie had the right to say what she did it’s a horrible time for her and she was upset. But there is no point of me thinking or worrying over it, its something I can’t change. Jack is dead the only thing I can do is catch Thaddeus. Which off course I will. But firstly what I need is for you to come take a shower with me and then give me a good seeing too. A few orgasms and I should be able to relax nicely enough to have a good relax and sleep with my gorgeous man.”

              “What, is your gorgeous man coming to join you after I have had my wicked way with you?”

Jane patted Perry with a playful smack on the bum as she shuffled past him to get to the bathroom.

“Always the joker I meant you, you big buffoon.”

Jane grabbed Perry by the arm and pulled him into the bathroom with her before he could protest. Before they had even made it into the shower they both had become overcome with the excitement of the hot kisses and flurry of clothes to the floor. They were both enveloped in each others arms and were caught up in the moment of it just being the two of them like no one else in the world existed. Perry had Jane scooped up in his arms and pinned to the back of the shower that wasn’t the biggest. The water cascaded over them as Perry drove into Jane bringing her to the edge of climax. Jane was secretly pleased with the fact that she was still capable of the acrobatics it took to have sex in the shower. Perry then did something that Jane had never thought of before but the feeling was so intense and overwhelming. He brought the showerhead down and turned the pressure down and rested it between Jane’s thighs. Letting the steady water flow tease over her excited clitoris. The newfound sensation bought Jane over the edge and she climaxed with such force she nearly lost her footing. Perry had to hold her up from collapse. There was something so primal, intense and carnal about having sex in a situation where you’re meant to be getting clean. Perry had already buried the length of his erection into Jane’s vagina again and was pumping with great rhythm that worked well with the steady flow of water that was back in place to cascade over their stimulated bodies. It felt like hours that they stayed in the shower enjoying the warmth of the water and the connection between both their bodies. Both knowing that as soon as they step out of the shower and go back into the main section of their hotel room they are going to be reminded of the dismal situation they are in. But Jane also knew that they were going to have to break apart soon as she needed to go to bed if she is ever to make it up in the morning. Jane also knew that she couldn’t stay connected with Perry much longer like this the pit of her stomach was starting to ache from clenching in orgasm too much.

“Come on you we should get out. I’m starting to go wrinkly being in the water for this long.”

              “Ok if we have to.”

Jane and Perry begrudgingly separated their entwined bodies and stepped out. Perry tightly wrapped Jane in a towel to prevent her from getting cold as he plodded off still stark naked to find her a robe to put on.

When they had both finished preparing themselves for bed they wandered into their hotel room hand in hand and snuggled down into their bed sheets for the night.

             
“Get some rest Jane you have got a long day ahead of you tomorrow. I’ll still be here in the morning.”

Perry could tell that Jane was about to protest about not wanting to go to sleep but she thought better of it anyway.

Jane awoke in the morning feeling bright and rested ready for the day ahead and all its tasks. She could smell the soft aroma of coffee and toast waiting for her and she could smell and sense the sweet aroma of Perry beside her. She opened her eyes to find him watching her adoringly. Jane thought that most people probably found it creepy knowing that someone is laying there watching
over them but Jane found it endearing that Perry liked watching over her as she slept. Jane thought he was doing it more now than ever because he had such high concern for her safety. Unfortunately Jane was in no position to play down the threat to her, or play him off as being a hypochondriac, she really was at threat. As they ate the breakfast that Perry had called down for Jane filled him in on the plans she had for the day. Technically if everything went to plan Jane and Amy would actually only be leaving the station once, which Jane knew would please Perry. Perry had a lot of weight and admiration amongst his old colleagues within the drug and gang community but mostly he had strong associations. Many valued him still as a friend so he promised that in a safe manor he would throw his weight around within that community to apply pressure to find Thaddeus. With that and the amount of footwork that Eric and Ian and a small select team were going to be doing they hopefully will be cutting Thaddeus world of connections down a notch.
