ROBERTO’S SECRET by Spanky De Bautumn

He considered himself straight so he even surprised himself when he would occasionally dream about making love to her and wake up with a raging hard-on. He wrote it off as just some crazy fantasy and knew that's all it would ever be for several reasons, the most important being that it could jeopardize the integrity of his job with the Bureau. So he kept his little fantasy a secret and Cody at arm's length. Now things had changed and he would have to befriend Cody if he was going to get her to assist the
Agency in catching the illusive Roberto.

Lamont Peterson patrolled the streets and served the people of Deer Park, Long Island for seventeen years. He retired a sergeant with a special commendation after his patrol car crashed into a telephone pole while chasing two car thieves, crushing his pelvic bone and leaving him with a noticeable limp. For the past two years, he headed security at the New York City branch of the Long Island Financial Group located across the street from the hotel where the Ambassador had been assassinated. On the day
after the incident, he was reviewing the surveillance tapes from the security cameras that watched over the main entrance and street in front of the LIFG building. During his second cup of coffee and third doughnut, he watched in amazement as the previous days' actions replayed right in front of him, caught by one of the cameras that had been accidentally jostled by the window cleaning crew the prior week and hadn't yet been repositioned. His call to the Agency had caused quite a bit of excitement and when
William Franklin entered the office; everyone was talking about their first break in the Roberto case. The camera had caught three good shots of Roberto in his jogging suit. One profile as he approached the Ambassador's entourage and two full-face shots as he looked back to make sure his work had been successful just before disappearing into the growing crowd on the street.
