Between Nights and Days


 Assistant District Attorney Beatrice "Bee Bee" Newton had been in this room before...usually standing behind detectives and advising a suspect to co-operate and reminding the suspect what kind of time they were looking at...

Today she was sitting where the suspect usually sat and staring down Lt. Tragg's face.



"Why'd you do it kid?   Why did you do it?  I know you two were going through a nasty divorce and we'd all heard about how he plays around...Catching him in that love nest must have drove you off the deep end...You didn't even see the email he left on his computer..telling somebody that he knew you were on to him and he feared you were going to kill him...Just make it easy on yourself.. Just write down what happened."said Lt. Tragg softly,passing her a pen and a piece of notebook paper.

She pushed the paper and the pen aside...

"You need to mop these floors and empty those waste baskets....and put some Febreeze up...This room smells like Urine,Vomit and underarm odor...Peeeeeeeee youuuuuuuu." she said.

The room did smell bad... it was even getting to Lt. Tragg.


"So that's all you're going to say huh?   he said.. "You have the nerve to go all lawyer on me huh?" he asked her..

 


 "That's all she needs to say....She is a lawyer after all." said Olivia.

"AWWWWW...OH NO..YOU GUYS AGAIN?" said a disgusted Lt. Tragg.

"I guess we are just stuck with each other." said Beverly...
Nelson was quiet...

As was Josie...




and Bresha...


Lieutenant can we have the room?" asked Olivia.



"Geeez...Yeah..." he said and he left the room...



"Just sit tight...you're doing fine...We are gonna try and get you out of here..."said Olivia.
It was already Thursday and a little too late for Night Court.. "It may take a few days." she said.
She didn't have to explain to Beatrice to be quiet and not discuss her case with anybody unlike our other clients...Beatrice, a seasoned Prosecutor, knew the drill.

"Thank you Olivia." said Beatrice.


"Give us a list of charactor witnesses." said Beverly.


"What? Oh Of course! You're a sharp girl, just like your auntie."said Beatrice..

She wrote the names, home addresses , phone numbers and email addresses of 25 people, all in the legal profession or the world of politics.


"Now we've got all weekend to track these people down." said Nelson.

"Let's divide it into threes... I'll take some and Bresha will take the rest." said Josie.


"We'll get the job done faster." said Bresha.

"You've got quite the team there Olivia...You've trained them well." said Beatrice..  High praise indeed from a woman who gave us our toughest challenge yet in court and came close to beating us.

She was handcuffed and walked upstairs to the holding facility known as "The Cooler."


I was at the medical examiner's office examining the bodies of the two murder victims.





I studied what was left of the male's head....I studied the angle the bullet entered his head.....

"Hmmmm....Beatrice is five foot, five at best...She would have had to of fired upwards...This shot was fired from the middle...Look at that." I said.


"I love talking to you Donnie Ray...You think like a doctor..."joked Hazel...



"And you know this gun ?  His fingerprints are the only prints on the gun.."said Marcy.


"Hmmmmmmmm very strange indeed." I said.




II-

THURSDAY NIGHT- CURLEY'S BAR-COUPLE'S NIGHT






 

"It's a shame we couldn't get Beatrice arraigned tonight..The timing was off." said Olivia.
 
"I was at the M.E.'s office today...You know what I think?  I think this was a murder suicide.. I don't think Beatrice had anything to do with this."I said.


''Well that's always good for our cases."said Beverly with a smile.
"Oh for sure."said Nelson with a smile.

"If we can convince a certain Lieutenant that this was a murder -suicide, maybe we won't have to go to court.."said Josie.
"Don't bet on it."said Paris.

"Talking to him is like talking to a brick wall..He never admits he made a mistake, never apologizes.."said Bresha.
"I hate people like that."said her husband, Tony..

"So do I."said Alfreda.

"Come on, let's not spoil our night...It's bad enough he's here after have been on that boat for the past month."said Rockland.



 "He 's better than that Lieutenant Clark on anyday..."said Yvette.


"Yeah I know Clark...He's real old school and a bit of an asshole at times."said Gary.

"You're right about that...I wanted to clock him a couple of times during our trial."I said.
"Lt. Tragg is bad enough...but not as bad as Clarke." said Bee Bee.



"Our Client's name is Beatrice and her nickname is Bee Bee too!" said Beverly..
"NOOOOOOOOOO!"said Bee Bee.

"Another Bee Bee."laughed Sofia.
"But you're the coolest Bee Bee." said Josie ,hugging Bee Bee.

"Awwwwwww!" said Bee Bee.


"One Bee Bee is enough." said Kahlil.

Jade was sitting on her husband's lap,leaning her head into his shoulders..

Danny was holding her tight...
"This is a nice night...The weather is getting warmer." mused Virginia

"Yeah"said Jetty , who held her tight on his lap.

"I love Couples night."said Jazzy, who was sitting on her husband's lap and sipping a Martini..
 
"I love after Couples Night.." laughed her husband, Dabnis slyly...

"Yeah because you've got me tipsy and you can easily take advantage of me." laughed Jazzy.


"Olivia you got another case huh?" said Kayla.

"Yeah, that ADA we ran into in the shoe store...She's been accused of killing her husband and another woman." said Olivia.


"WOW!  This is the second time you've won a case and the opposing counsel has hired you to rep them." laughed Kayla's husband, Ray.

"I know...I could make a cottage industry out of this."laughed Olivia.


"I swear Olivia, they could make a TV show out of you and Beverly's cases." laughed Jessica.
"I'd watch it...Every week with Buttered Popcorn."laughed her husband, Chip.


"So would I..and I'd tell people...I knew her when."laughed Karen Page.

"I would too."laughed Yvette.

"Stop it...Both of you.."laughed Olivia.

"Don't forget to give me the exclusive Liv."said B.L.


"I suppose you guys have your work cut out for you huh Bev?" asked Natalie,

"Oh Yeah, tomorrow we still have to run down all of our charactor witnesses and we have a lot.."said Beverly.


"We still going to Bayside after Brunch on Saturday?" asked David.

"I don't see why not." said Nelson.


"Good! Friday Night You guys can relax and have nice cold ones at No I.D. Bar with us."said Brooke.
"By then you would have earned it."laughed Sean...

"We sure would have."laughed Nelson.

"I know Beatrice....I'm handling her divorce from Bill." said Zoey.

"You were handling her divorce...No need for that now...He's dead." said Lem.

"And she's accused of his murder. I know her too!  Just in passing...I don't believe she's capable of murder." said Renee.


"When I was a bailiff...She was always courteous to me in the courthouse." remembered Tyrell.


"Well, you guys have your work cut out for you...I wish you well." said Lee.
"Thanks Baby Girl." said Olivia, hugging Lee.


"Yeah , Good Luck." said Lisa's husband, Matthew.
"Lt. Tragg is back...Look at him over there... He's as happy as a clam.."mused Nina Rios-Diaz.
"He certainly is and I see why" laughed her husband, Carlos Diaz.


Across the bar at their table.. at least 10 beers had been downed...and ten more replaced them..
Kelly Ann, Judge Kelly Ann was tipsy and unlike anytime we had ever seen her...Very Horny and open to Lt.Tragg..

"OHHHHHH ARTHUR, I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE BACK OFF THAT BOAT...I'VE MISSED YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!   "I'm as horny as a cat" she whispered in his ear.



"SO AM I KID....AWWWWWWW LAWWD!" he said.

They began kissing passionately.......


"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMM" he moaned as he kissed her...


Slipping his hand up her dress and pulling at the waistband of her panties..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!"

She wasn't that drunk...She removed his hands and pulled her dress back down..

"ARTHUR, if you weren't my boyfriend...I'd slap your face.. Those are for your eyes only, not the entire bar." she said...


"I'm sorry...MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!" he moaned..


Curley, the bar's owner and a retired detective loved it...No fights, no arguments...Just people buying alcohol, drinking and canoodling peacefully...


COUPLES NIGHT!



The Best thing about couples night was after couples night..When we were all at home...


TENDER WAS THE NIGHT!

We were all home and in bed. At least Olivia and I were..


Olivia couldn't wait  to ease herself down on me...


"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU DONNIE RAYYYY!" she moaned as she rode me cowgirl style..

"I JUST LOVE YOU SO MUCH!" she cooed..
"AWWWWWWWWWWWW  LAWWWWWD! OLIVIA, I'M CRAZY ABOUT YOU!!" I cried out....
Olivia's mood  tonight also boded well for me in the bedroom...






Olivia's bra and panties  slipped off the minute she entered  our bedroom., so did my trousers ,boxers and shirt...


"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.." I moaned.



as we headed straight for the bedroom...


"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Donnie Ray, Give it to me Daddy....Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.." she moaned.

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu yes baby!" I moaned as she moved up and down on my rock hard penis...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu don't stop...ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.." she moaned....

 "Ohhhhhhhhhhh, Ohhhhhhhhh baby....Ouuuuu,easy Donnie Ray...ouuuuu" she moaned...

"Damnnnnnnnnnnnn gurlllllll.ohhhhhhhh, you feel so good." I moaned... as I thrusted faster and faster inside of her....She was so round, so soft, so warm..

"So do youuuu..ouuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" she cooed



 "Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...ouuuuuu, you're as hard as an iron pipe..ouuuuuuu.." she cooed as she moved up and down...up and down...


I spread her legs open and entered her again......

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU WOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! YOU'RE SO HARD!!
SOOOOOOO BIG!!! UMMMMMM!" she moaned..

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH GIRRRRRL! " I cried out loud


She wrapped her legs around me so she could take all of me in and I continued....as she moaned and groaned...We slowed it down some and got into a slow rhythm...

"Ouuuuu,ummmmm, I love you so much Donnie Ray." she moaned.. as I humped her over the bed...

"I love you too Olivia...LAWDDDDDDD knows I do....OHHHHHHH GIRRRRRRL!"I moaned..nearly out of breath as we continued to make sweet love...





  EIGHT TO NINE HOURS of sweet and intense lovemaking went by....


She laughed and then tossed her head back...moaning softly...Her body quivering softly....Her breathing getting heavy...

"Ohhhhh...Ohhh my god Donnie Ray...Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.."she moaned...

"Ouuuuuuu...Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Olivia....Ohhh my goddd.."I moaned as she moved up and down on me...

TWO MORE HOURS of sweet lovemaking followed...We were both enjoying ourselves immensely.....

  

Olivia riding me softly and slowly and me nearly losing my mind....

 Olivia was sweating profusely and laughing one minute and crying the next....She began to climax slowly,intensely...her body shaking and she smiling the sweetest smile I had ever seen....


"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm...ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu....Donnie Ray baby, we have  to get some sleep, tonight! .Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuu Yessssssssssssss..." she said as she moved up and down and kissed me softly..


"I know baby.Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my godd!"I said..


"So we need to get to sleep soon..." she said..


ANOTHER HOUR slipped by and I began to cum like a river...


"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..."I moaned, shaking.....

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuu,That's my guy..ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...That's my guyyyyyyy" she moaned as she herself began to climax...She held me tightly and continued to kiss me as she came and came hard...

 She kissed me softly as I continued to cum like a river....

"I am so grateful for you Donnie Ray..." she said, as tears ran down her face....


''I'm grateful for you too, Olivia." I said as she lie on top of me and softly drifted off to sleep....


And a floor below us in another room....
Beverly and Nelson were standing in the middle of the floor kissing passionately.......


Beverly's Bra and panties were already off and hanging on the wicker chair in the hallway....


"Ouuuuuuuuuuuu Nelson......ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu baby, I need you inside of me....." she moaned...

"Girl, I can't wait...I need to be inside of you...ohhhhhhhh..awwwwwww" he said as he led her to the bed....They didn't bother to uncover the sheets....

Nelson was gentle with Beverly.....He softly kissed her navel and her breasts and her eyelids and her earlobes and eventually worked his way to her sweet lips...Her body was trembling something fierce...

By the time he did enter her warm and moist center, she was near the point of climax......


Nelson entered her softly and gently and began to stroke her softly and slowly....She moaned and put her arms around his neck and drew him closer to her..She wrapped her legs around his waste and they began to move in a slow, yet deliberate rhythm for quite some time...She held him tight as if she never wanted to let go...She was so soft...so moist and smelled so good...Nelson was losing his mind slowly....while continuing to stroke her masterfully....Beverly's body began to tremble something crazy...
, her head turned from side to side...tears streamed down her face.....
'UMMMMMMMM...OUUUUUUUUUUUU YOU LOOK SO HAPPY....YOU'RE ENJOYING ME A LOT AREN'T YOU?" she asked...

He hugged her... 

"I AM SOOO ENJOYING YOUUUU!" he moaned softly...

She laughed...

"UMMMMMMMMMMMM, I AM ENJOYING YOU TOOO!! OUUUUUUU!" she cooed. Once again...her body began to tremble something crazy... , her head turned from side to side...tears streamed down her face.....she was having another orgasm....

  Nelson and Beverly made sweet and slow passionate and intense love for EIGHT TO NINE HOURS straight.... She felt as though she was climaxing several times....then in a huge wave....Nelson climaxed furiously and hard....not yelling , but shaking mightily.....then taking a deep breath and collapsing on top of Beverly....drenched in sweat....


She looked up at him and gave him a juicy and wet kiss....

He surprisingly felt himself getting hard again...and began to move slowly inside and out of her....



"Ohhhhhhhh My goodness...NELSONNNNNNN!  Again?? OHHH MY Godddd!" she yelled out...

Continuing to ride him and kiss him on the side of the bed....





"YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!" He moaned....

Beverly straddled him and began to ride him again....Her body trembling...her head turning from side to side..tears streaming down the side of her face....


''Baby, sweetie..We gotta get some sleep..We've all got a lot of running around to do, tomorrow." she said ..Then she just laughed..Nelson was too into this to even listen to what she was saying..



 

  They made sweet love for at least another TWO HOURS AND A HALF!...Beverly could see how much Nelson was thoroughly enjoying this experience....

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...I'm cumming...I'm cumming..Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" she said and began to shake and gyrate and turn her head from side to side....Crying like a little girl and sweating profusely....She couldn't believe how good she was feeling at the moment..

Nelson was one of maybe two other lovers she had had , who could make her cum like this...

He began cumming like a gusher....and shaking....

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" he moaned...



"Oh yes Nelson..Yes....Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...niceeee...ummmmm."
she moaned, kissing him as he continued to cum like a gusher...

''We gotta get some sleep baby... she whispered...




Nelson agreed , he was breathing heavily....His breathing soon got softer and he drifted off to sleep.

Beverly shook her head...That was okay...He had earned it...He put in some work tonight! she reasoned...

She put his arms around her and rested her head in the crook of his arms...He hugged her tightly...She smiled..



III-


The next day...




Beverly and Nelson took the Lincoln Navigator and began looking for half of the 25 people Beatrice named as Charactor Witnesses...All of them were sympathetic and agreed to help in any way they could..

Josie drove to the courthouse, She got us a court date of 8:00 pm on Tuesday...
Then she and Bresha began looking for the other half of the 25 people Beatrice named as charactor witnesses....All of them were sympathetic and agreed to help in any way they could..Just like with Beverly and Nelson.







At home, Olivia ,Alfreda and I sat in the kitchen drinking coffee and talking..





"Yesterday I studied the trajectory of entrance of the bullet in the head of William Newton....it's just too high to have been fired by Beatrice...She's five foot ,four at best...too short to have aimed that high and that straight,.  It was a close contact wound...The other thing that bothered me was , only HIS fingerprints are on the gun...Not hers...."I said.


"How did Lt. Tragg miss that?   We've got to share that with him."said Olivia.

"How did this guy make detective?asked Alfreda.


"Something else bothers me...The woman killed with him...Was a known prostitute...He wasn't having an affair with her....This was a hook up...."I said.
"Beatrice said she didn't know about the love nest property he was found in...."said Olivia.


"Here is something else that bothers me.....She worked for an escort company...THE SAME ESCORT COMPANY THAT EMPLOYED LORETTA LINCOLN,BRENDA LAYTON AND  SHEILA COOK..
all "escorts" tied to our former client, Lorenzo Taft and also women involved with William Newton...You know what I think?  I think we have a serial killer here...Mr. Newton has a very questionable past... He was an attorney...He represented all of these women at one time,including the woman who was killed with him..."I said.


"Two other young ladies were found strangled after Lorenzo was in custody....Check into them...
If William Hart was a serial killer... Then why would he commit suicide?"asked Olivia.


"Hmmmmm or did he?   This case is murkier and murkier." I said.



IV-


COURTROOM C- TUESDAY NIGHT 8:00 PM-


It was Tuesday....We had lucked up and gotten an 8:00 pm  Night Court hearing for Beatrice Newton, thanks to Brenda.  He had only spent

NIGHT COURT-

In Philadelphia, Night Court only operates two nights a week....Tuesday and Thursday, Tonight was Tuesday...and fortunately...We got an arraignment date of 8:00 pm. 

The Judge in this case would not be the Judge in the actual case....

Lt. Tragg was not there... He was probably snuggled up with Judge Kelly Ann at her loft...





So Happy to be off that Marine Boat and back in her bed again..

Night court was too low profile for him anyway....No witnesses...No media..and a bunch of  Judges  and ADA's who were mostly older Judges and ADA's about to retire...It was lightweight. It was in session from 7:00 pm- 10:00 pm Tuesdays and Thursdays...We were quite fortunate to get a date.


The ADA that did show up was not going to be the ADA that tried the case...He had only the basic out line of the case at hand... He basically wanted to go home...So he didn't really put up much of a fight.










We presented 25 charactor witnesses . We found two additional witnesses...All either fellow attorneys o rclose friends of Beatrice.


We argued that  Beatrice Newton,  an Assistant District  Attorney , an officer of the court with no prior criminal record was not a flight risk and eagerly wanted her day in court to face these ridiculous and mistaken charges.

The Judge liked us and respected us....He also knew of Lt. Tragg's penchant for rushing to judgement and arresting the wrong person... He knew beatrice personally and liked her. He easily released Beatrice on her own recognizance..

"Oh My Goddd!  Thank you all....That was the longest five days of my life." said Beatrice.

 

"Are you staying at your house tonight? You are welcome to stay with us."said Olivia.
 
"Oh No...I'm going home...I want to sleep in my own bed, Take a nice hot shower ."said Beatrice.
"Come See us tomorrow morning. You know where we are." I said.


"You're probably hungry, Come to Sam Mother's Diner with us and get some dinner."said Beverly.

"I could use some coffee."said Beatrice.


"Yeah so could I...Some coffee and a croissant." said Nelson.


"Sounds good to me..How about you Bree?" asked Josie.


"Yeah, sounds good to me." said Bresha.

We walked over to Sam Mother's Diner.
We all went to Sam Mother's diner for coffees...It was 9:30 pm.

A Gentle Philadelphia Night!
