Godsend 8: The Value of a Woman (Godsend Short stories Series)

by K Elliott

  Bernard said, “Are you a policeman or something?”

  “Special Investigator, Sex Crimes division. You can finish fucking her, and getting your money’s worth, but let this be your last night involved with Ryan Madison’s escort service.”

  Chapter 16

  WELDON GLASSER SHOUTED, “Who’s there? I never asked for room service.”

  Echo closed the door and headed for the bedroom in Suite 311. He stepped into view, aiming his silenced handgun. A tall, slender, white man was sitting up in bed with a young white girl. Echo walked up to the girl and said, “Is your name Kira Millsap?”

  The girl nodded affirmatively. The covers were up to her shoulders as she leaned against the headboard. The gunman scared her more than the man in bed with her.

  Echo said, “How old are you Kira? If you lie to me I’ll kill that man beside you.”

  She said, “Twelve.”

  Echo looked at Weldon again. “You the same Weldon Glasser with that stupid-ass infomercial, advertising your eBook series for children?”

  Weldon said, “What’s going on here? I was always assured I would have privacy and anonymity when dealing with Echelon. If you’re a new floor guard, you have no right to use a key card to enter my suite. Dale Oates will hear about this!”

  Echo said, “Kira, get up and put your clothes on. Right now. I’m taking you to the lobby downstairs. When the police arrive, I want you to tell them everything Mr. Glasser has ever done to you. Tell them everything.”

  The girl got out of bed and began getting dressed.

  Echo said to Weldon, “My partner explained to me how he punished a pedophile down in Room 308 earlier tonight. I wouldn’t dare let him get more creative than me.” He walked around the bed to Weldon’s side and ripped the thin telephone cord from the wall and the back of the phone.

  Weldon said, “Mister, I’m so sorry. I thought you were part of the Echelon organization.” Damn fool still hadn’t tried to show remorse for messing with a child.

  Echo tied one end of the cord in a small slipknot, leaving a loop the size of his fist. When the girl was dressed he said, “Kira, I’m gonna walk you to the elevator and-” He paused to consider another idea.

  The child said, “I’m not supposed to leave the room unless one of the guards comes to get me.”

  Echo looked at her and felt pity. “No more guards, Kira. They were bad men, and you won’t see them ever again. We have to leave, so let’s all take a walk down to Room 319.”

  Brian was still in the supply room with Ryan. He had recorded a full confession about Milana Rockerson’s murder. Ryan was now hog-tied with the jump rope, resting on his belly, and Brian was sitting on the five-gallon bucket.

  Brian said, “As a matter of business, I can understand why you and your woman killed Milana. I don’t agree with it, and your ass needs to be punished, but I understand why you did it. But help me understand why you have grown men raping children in your well-run escort service.”

  Ryan had water in his eyes, the result of being hog-tied with dislocated shoulders. He cut his eyes across the room and saw Eddie still crumpled on the floor in a nasty puddle of dark blood. “I...I guess I didn’t consider it to be rape. I was willing to see things differently when it came to making more and more money.”

  Brian said, “You’ve been running this shit for five years. You admitted that Echelon had grossed more than $22 million, tax-free. All that money just so you could end up like this? What do you need so much money for? What the fuck do you do with it?”

  “I used some to live comfortably and put the rest up for future investments.”

  Brian smiled. “In other words, you can’t figure out how to spend all the money, yet your service keeps violating children and putting discount on the value of a woman.”

  He got off the bucket and walked closer to Ryan. “Your business is illegal, so you obviously have a lot of cash on hand. We’re gonna make your woman tell us where you keep your cash then anonymously donate every dime of it to all the children that got raped by the Echelon over the past five years. And if you don’t have records of those kids, then me and my friends will take two weeks to kill you and your woman.”

  Ryan recognized that the man apparently had a soft spot for kids. “I’ll tell you where our money is kept, just in case Valerie decides to lie to you guys.” If he was not going to be able to enjoy the money, neither was his woman.

  Chapter 17

  VERANDA WAS AT the front desk in the lobby. She was on the phone with a 9-1-1 operator, reading the long message that had been left on the computer monitor by Kiandra. She said, “My name is Veranda Speilman and I’m thirteen years old. I’m at the Hiatus Inn on Brevard Street, here in San Diego.” She glanced at the two girls who were waiting in the lobby’s armchairs. They were all scared.

  The operator said, “What’s your emergency, honey?”

  “Me and two other girls my age have been raped. We were forced to work for the Echelon Escort Service. Some men came here and killed some people and hurt the pedophiles.”

  Echo and Kiandra were sitting in the Escalade watching Veranda talk on the phone. He said, “Let’s go. Drive around back so I can take care of one last thing.”

  Kiandra began driving. Etceterra was behind her in the Ford Explorer. Brian was in the backseat area of the Explorer, and Ryan was in the cargo area, still hog-tied.

  Kiandra drove around to the back of the three-story hotel.

  Echo said, “Stop right here.”

  Kiandra looked up and saw two white men gripping the roof of the building, each holding on with both hands. The two men were ass-naked from the waist down. She said, “Why did you leave them like that? They could have climbed back onto the roof and got away.”

  Echo said, “Nope. Why do you think they’re still hanging on? I made them loop the end of a telephone cord around their dicks and nuts. They can’t hold on to the rooftop with one hand and loosen the cord with the other. And since they’re both tied to the same cord, they can’t move much without yanking each other’s shit off.”

  She shook her head. “Only you would have thought of something like that. If they fall from that height it wouldn't kill them, you know?”

  Echo said, “I know, and that would put a lot of tension on the cord.” He got out of the SUV and walked closer to the building. He said to the pedophiles, “I’m gonna get you fellas down from there, but I want you to stick around until the cops get here. Okay?”

  The men agreed as they looked down at him.

  Echo removed his silenced handgun from inside his leather coat. He aimed at Weldon and shot him in the leg. Weldon hollered but was still hanging on to the ledge. Then, Echo aimed at Denis Colliver’s ass. He fired another shot and hit the man in the lower back.

  Denis hollered out and released his grip.

  Echo turned and walked back to the SUV. He heard two bodies hit the ground, but he didn’t even look back to see the damage. The moaning suggested that the men were broken up and castrated.

  Chapter 18

  ECHO’S WIFE AND daughter weren’t thrilled about living in California, but he knew they would get used to it. They lived almost two miles from Brian and Janelle’s place in Acton. As Echo backed the Ford Explorer out of the two-car garage, he looked back and said to Ryan, “Did you sleep good?”

  “I didn’t sleep at all.”

  “Well, it’s almost noon. Time to wake up now. You got a busy day ahead of you.” Echo began driving down the street. “I just got the call from my partner. Your woman’s flight arrived, and she’s waiting at the storage facility in a rental. You did the right thing.”

  “You didn’t leave me much of a choice. Valerie would have done the same thing to me. I didn’t want to call her, but....”

  Echo used his prepaid cell phone to make a call. After four rings, a woman answered. Echo said, “What’s up?”

  “Who’s calling?”

  “We just fucked in the shower the other day; you forgot about m
e that fast?”

  “Oh, it’s you, the sneaky rapist. You know my boyfriend dumped me because of what you did to him. He was pissed because I left with you.”

  “He’ll get over it. I called to thank you.”

  “For raping me?”

  “No. Your information was good. You’ll never believe who I have all tied up in the truck with me.”

  She said, “That’s an easy one. It’s all over the news, the raid at the three Hiatus hotels. Ryan Madison is wanted for questioning, so I guess he’s in your custody.”

  “Good guess. Just wanted you to know that your friend Milana will get justice.”

  “I’m impressed. You seem so unprofessional, but I’m impressed.”

  Echo said, “You busy tonight?”

  “Why?”

  “I wanted you to invite me over and give me permission to get in the shower with you.”

  She laughed. “You are crazy. I appreciate what you’ve done for Milana, but I don’t really know you.”

  “Charelle, you worked as a call girl for Ryan. How well do you know your clients?”

  “Well, that was...not the same. Besides, I don’t like that lifestyle anymore.”

  “What, getting paid to fuck? I wouldn’t pay you a roll of nickels. I don’t pay for sex, not directly. I’ll make a deal with you.”

  “What kind of deal?”

  “Let’s me and you have a fuck fest, and you give me some good head. Just give me four hours.”

  She said, “What’s in it for me? I still haven’t heard your deal.”

  “I’ll bring Ryan with me, and you can get a little revenge for yourself. He’s tied up in the worst way. You can cut his ass, piss on him, burn his feet, whatever. I have to deliver him alive, though.”

  She said, “That’s sounds like a tempting offer. I figure the bastard owes me at least three thousand dollars. Can I possibly get that from him?”

  “Don’t think so. My partners are meeting his woman at a storage facility. He says they have $5.2 million in cash stored there, but my partner’s gonna split it all up between all the underage kids that’s been violated by the Echelon service.”

  “That’s nice of your partner. Very nice. Meanwhile, I’m going to struggle with my bills because you made my boyfriend dump me.”

  “Ryan says he has lots of other valuable shit in his storage unit. Rent a moving van, and I’ll help you load it all on one condition.”

  “What’s that?”

  “Let me fuck you whenever I feel like it. I’m married, and the woman you saw me with at your boyfriend’s place is my side woman, but I want you to be my other woman.”

  She said, “I’m convinced, you are definitely crazy. That’s out of the question and won’t happen in this century.”

  Echo said, “Well, I guess I’ll let the police discover the merchandise after my partner picks up the money.”

  “What kind of merchandise is it?”

  “Ryan says he has almost $700,000 worth of jewelry, collector’s items, and antiques in the unit.”

  Charelle said, “And how long do I have to be your other woman?”

  “I’m on my way over there. We can discuss the details after we fuck, but you better have some good head to get a good deal like this.”

  Chapter 19

  RYAN MADISON was on the floor in Charelle’s bedroom. He was on his belly, still hog-tied, and had been carried inside like a damn suitcase.

  Echo and Charelle were in her big bed, having sex. He was on his knees behind her, pumping all ten inches up in her doggy-style. He gripped her small waist with both hands and looked back at Ryan as he slowly long-stroked Charelle. He said to Ryan, “Does Valerie have an ass like Charelle’s?”

  Ryan did not respond.

  “Boy, you better answer me before I take a fuck break to put a footprint in your ass. You’re lucky I ain’t making you watch me fuck your woman. Now tell me what the fuck she looks like.” He kept stroking Charelle, and their skin was slapping together now.

  Charelle was making sexual noises, doing her part to make Ryan feel worse. She was enjoying herself, and he was in agony.

  Ryan said, “Valerie and Charelle share some resemblances, but Charelle has more weight below, while Valerie’s breasts are bigger.”

  “Wait a minute.” Echo pulled out of her and asked her to turn around. He held a C cup breast in his good hand and began sucking the nipple then licking the areola. He stopped and looked at Ryan again. “Your woman’s titties are bigger than these pretty muthafuckas?”

  For some unknown reason, a surge of pain shot through Ryan’s left shoulder. He hollered out briefly and water came to his eyes. “Yes, they are bigger.”

  “Hey, man, you ain’t trying to die on me are you? I’m just trying to show you that money ain’t everything. Watch how much fun we have with no money.” He had Charelle get out of bed and drop to her knees while he sat at the foot of the bed. When she put half of his erection in her mouth and began bobbing her head, Echo said to Ryan, “This is the type of fun we’re gonna have when you are somewhere in hell.”

  Ryan said, “What is the point of making me watch you? I’ve told you everything. Could you just kill me and get it over with?”

  Echo felt an orgasm trying to activate. He grabbed her head and stopped her. “Do you plan to swallow if I come?”

  “Yes, but I want you to fuck me again before I do.”

  “Turn around and let’s do it on the floor. I can hit you from behind while you ask Ryan anything you wanna ask him.”

  Charelle assumed the position, and when she felt Echo enter her she smiled at Ryan and said, “This feels great, especially since you’re sponsoring this new relationship.” Her face contorted when Echo’s dick reached something inside her from an angle. She closed her eyes, opened her mouth, and murmured a sound of pleasure.

  Echo was ready to put her on her back and pin her knees up to her shoulders.

  Charelle looked at Ryan again and said, “Tell me about the merchandise in your storage unit. Is it stolen?”

  Ryan said, “There’s nothing in my storage unit but old furniture and lot of cash. I’m afraid your new boyfriend cheated you out of a good time.”

  She looked back at Echo.

  Echo smiled at her and kept pumping. “I can’t believe a modern-day pimp is trying to cock-block.”

  She said, “You just keep finding new ways to rape me.”

  Echo laughed. “Here we go again. This ain’t rape.”

  Charelle pulled Echo’s dick out of her then turned to face him. “I don’t know why, but I like you.” She bent down and started giving him head again.

  Echo said. “Not as much as I like you. If I bought a big house and moved a few women in, would you stay there if you didn’t have any bills to pay?”

  She came up for air and said, “Sounds interesting. I might give that a try for a year or two.” She began sucking him again.

  Echo grabbed her head and pumped her mouth. “I’ll start looking for a big place tomorrow. You need to help me find two other fine-ass women like you.” Then, he looked at Ryan and said, “You can turn your head now; I’m about to get this nut off.”

  Chapter 20

  ECHO WAS STANDING at Aaron Rockerson’s door with Valerie Larson. They were both well-dressed, but her hands were cuffed behind her back.

  Aaron opened the front door of his lavish home and said, “Mr. Louis Raymond?”

  “Yes, sir. I called you thirty minutes ago. I’m with Godsend Investigations.”

  “Please, please, come in.” He stepped aside and allowed them to enter his front room. He looked at the Escalade and the Ford Explorer before closing the door.

  Echo said, “We ran into a few problems. The white guy that came to talk to you is outside, but the black guy was roughed up pretty badly. He can’t even go home for a few weeks, because he doesn’t want his family to see him in such condition.”

  “I’m sorry to hear that.” He looked at Echo’s bandaged hand. “W
ho’s the lady in handcuffs?”

  “This requires some explaining. You wanted your daughter’s killer here unharmed. This woman is your daughter’s killer, and her name is Valerie Larsen. Once you pay the balance of your $75,000 fee, she will cost you $600,000. The problem for you is, I have her man out in the Explorer, and he’s responsible for killing your daughter too. He’s fucked up pretty bad, though, but you’ll still owe another $300,000 if you want him. His name is Ryan Madison. As you probably know, the cops want him.”

  Aaron said,” I don’t mind paying for the both of them, but how solid is the evidence?”

  “We recorded a confession from Ryan. He explained how, when, why and exactly where Milana was killed. He said he beat her and that Valerie cut her throat. When we caught up with Valerie, we recorded a confession from her, and you’ll hear how well it corroborates with the details Ryan gave us.”

  Aaron studied Valerie. The woman was extremely attractive at age thirty, and her D cup breasts made her more noticeable. He said to her, “Those things real?”

  “Yes,” she said then cleared her throat.

  Echo reached back and smacked her on the ass. “Her ass is soft like a balloon, too.”

  “Good. Bring Ryan inside. He can watch me have a little fun with her before I become the judge and jury.”

  Echo said, “Your new balance is $947,000 cash. Let’s settle that payment first.”

  “Sure. In fact, I’ll just round it off to a million even. I really appreciate what you guys have done for me. Wait here.”

  When the man left, Echo turned to face Valerie. He unbuttoned her dress shirt at the top then used his good hand to dig her right breast out of her bra. “Damn, that’s a real titty.” He leaned forward and began sucking the woman’s breast. The long nipple turned him on. He stopped and said, “If I knew those were real I woulda fucked you before I brought you here. You wanna spend the night with me at a hotel and I’ll bring you back tomorrow?”
