As usual, Tom Jordan was relaxing in his rather spacious TV room for the evening. The detective had just finished up some reports for the chief; he'd have to take them into his office himself in the morning, since his partner had some kind of doctor's appointment that was supposed to last for a few hours – a physical or something. He didn't really do or know much medical-wise, but he wasn't concerned about it. They were partners, so he'd know if something was wrong with the guy.
Tom, on the other hand, had planned for some company this evening. He was a hard-ass at work, but he was good at being a hard-ass at home as well. Fortunately for his piece of mind, no one save a certain friend of the male persuasion knew about his very private night-time activities. That friend, however, was far more than a friend; he was an active participant. He wasn't thinking about the company he'd be having within the hour at the moment, though; the recent string of rapes gripping the city had made women afraid to go out at night. It weighed heavily on his mind, both as a cop and as a human being. No one should suffer at the hand of a rapist – no one. It was more than just a physical rape, he knew. It was a mental rape, an emotional rape, and – for some women, at least – a spiritual rape. He could handle thieves, murderers, and drunken idiots; it was the rapists that pissed him off, and the serial rapists received the full force of his wrath when he chose to unleash it. The sad part was that Tom was one of the few hard-nosed cops left who subscribed to the old school of crime fighting: if they did something even you couldn't live with, beat the livin' shit out of 'em.
Tom lit up a cigar and put leaned back on the couch, an old relic from the seventies when orange polyester was prevalent and popular. He didn't really like it that well, but it was surprisingly comfortable and he wasn't about to throw it out just because it wasn't fashionable; that was a waste of money, after all. Why buy a new one when the old one was still functional and comfortable? If it wasn't broken, he always said, don't fix it. Fortunately, Steve – his friend for the evening – tended to solve his problems every few nights. That's what boyfriends were for, after all. Oh, he liked girls well enough; what guy didn't? Every once in a while, though – more often of late, perhaps because of all the hookers he seemed to keep running into that wanted protection in return for their 'wholly unbiased opinions' (yeah, right) – he needed something other than a cunt and a pair of melons. Every so often, he needed a cock.
