"Deadly Vice" Chapter 3 Posted










Someone is hijacking loads and killing off drug dealers in South Dade, Florida. Detectives Sookie Stackhouse and Andy Bellefleur are called in by Lieutenant Castillo to become members of a newly formed Miami Dade Drug taskforce.
Detectives Gina Calabrese and Trudy Joplin have junkie hooker Ginger in protective custody, and Ginger spins the detectives quite a tale of strange activities at a club Thor, where her bartender boyfriend Longshadow works.

Although she and her new task force partner, Detective James "Sonny" Crockett, did not get off to a great start, Lieutenant Castillo has asked Sookie to go undercover with a reluctant Sonny to get close to club owner Eric Northman, and assigned Detective Bellefleur to partner with Detective Stan Switek.

Sookie is scarily accurate at getting into the heads of others but finds that some of the employees and patrons of the club are a trifle difficult to read. Once she meets Eric, a ladies man by all reports, Sookie finds that he is not exactly what she was expecting. She is bowled over by his Nordic good looks, deep blue eyes and charming demeanor, and Eric finds that he is not immune to Detective Stackhouse even though he is playing with fire when he suspects she is a cop.

Is Northman involved in the disappearances of numerous known drug trafficers and has he been hijacking shipments of blow from under the cartel's nose?

While Sookie is getting to know Eric, Sonny finds himself fascinated with Pam, a part-time stripper and co-owner of the club. Switek and Bellefleur take the bug van to stake out the comings and goings at the club, but Stan is having recurring sightings of his idol and being teased incessantly by the rest of the task force members.

Yes, Bubba is back. I thought this was the perfect venue since Stan Switek worshiped the ground that the singer walked on and even impersonated him on occasion.

Chapter three is available on FF.net.
