Need To Have It

Penns Landing was not where I felt We'd be meeting Attorney Ben Cref and his client, Perry Richardson, the realtor husband of our client, Georgia Bea Richardson...but here we were... driving up to a boat that was docked at Penns Landing..

Attorney Ben Cref wasn't at all what I had expected...I expected a fat overweight slob in sloppy clothing with coffee stains on his shirt and pants...He was anything but...Very trim, tall, with an immaculately tailored suit and a fresh haircut and a nice smelling fragrance...Actually, quite handsome... I was actually surprised that my wife hadn't been attracted to him..

He saw Olivia walking towards him and his eyes nearly popped out of his head..

"Olivia Bennett...It has been awhile...Lawd Jesus girl, but you are still exquisite...When I found out that you were representing my client's wife...I jumped at the chance to set up a meeting.." said Ben Cref.

"It has been awhile Ben...Is your client on the boat?" she asked..

He smiled slyly...

"He'll be coming along in about an hour...I uh wanted some time for you and I to talk,get uh reacquainted..."he said slyly..

Just then ,I walked up...I had been parking the car...

He looked at me with both surprise and disdain...

"Who are you?" he asked...

I just smiled..

''A lot has changed Ben...I guess you didn't notice that my name has changed..It's Olivia Bennett-Alexander now...I'm married...and this is MY HUSBAND!  Mr. Donnie Ray Alexander...He's our firm's investigator..."she said and took my hand in hers..

He looked like he'd drank a can of dried paint....

"HUSBAND?....Ohhh you got married again...Well congratulations..."he said and smiled at me and extended his hand...I smiled and shook his hand..

"Pleased to meet you."I said.

"I-I-I didn't know you were coming with anyone..I only prepared breakfast for two.."he said.

"Oh...because I brought my staff..."said Olivia..

''Staff?" he said.

He looked up and saw Beverly and Kayla..

"You remember my niece, Attorney Beverly West don't you? She used to work at the public defender's office....and this is my cousin...Attorney Kayla Bennett."said Olivia ,smiling proudly...

He looked them both up and down and smiled slyly...

"Damnnnn, Olivia...does your family have nothing but good looking women ,who are attorneys??"he said....eyeing both Beverly and Kayla salaciously...

I smiled at the whole thing...The fact that he thought he was going to get into something and the fact that he said what Meek Rollins and I had already said just weeks before when Kayla arrived..

''Well don't just stand there...Come in..Come in...I'll call and have extra food delivered.."he said.

The four of us entered his boat...

"Nice Boat you got here...Life has been good to you huh?" I said

"Yes it has...As it has been for your wife...I don't know if she told you, but she and I go back...We both worked at the same prestigious law firm...and look at us now Livy...Both of us in Private Practice...Huh?" he said.

"Yes ,look at us now.." said Olivia dryly...

"You got a nice looking staff, your niece and your cousin..." he said.

"My cousin is visiting us from Atlanta...She's consulting on this case...It's just Bev,my husband and me for now." said Olivia...

He looked at me..

"You're a P.I. ,I take it?" he said.

"Yes I am.." I said.

"Used to be a cop didn't you?" he asked.

"Homicide Detective." I said.

"Yeah..I've hired a couple of P.I.'s..They were ex Philly P.D. too..."he said.

The food arrived...It was delicious...

He eyed both Beverly and Kayla..

"I always thought Beverly could pass as your sister Livy..But your cousin here could too....My..My..My..a family of lovely women.." he said.

"But moving right along...You called this meet for a reason...You want to proffer a deal of some type.." said Olivia..

"My client is just concerned about your investigation and how your defense of his wife is going." he said.

"Ben stop playing...My client didn't kill that girl and she was filled with drugs..drugs purchased by your client to relax her so he could perform sex acts with him....She was conveniently filmed by your client dragging the body from one room to another...We can prove that under those drugs..There is no way she could have committed murder." said Olivia.

"So who do you think did this then?" he asked.

"Who do you think did it?" asked Olivia.

"It's not for him or I to determine that.....We just want you to know that I didn't do it!"came a booming voice...It was Perry Richardson, Uber- Successful and famous realtor...He towered well over six feet, was a bit overweight....brown skinned with sandy gray hair...and an imperious manner about him...as though he was lord and master over all he surveyed.

''Well if it isn't the concerned husband." I said.

He looked at me with disdain and replied..

"I don't know who you are and frankly..I don't give a damn....but if you aren't the lead attorney representing my wife...You don't need to be talking." he said.

Beverly smiled and looked at me...

"Donnie Ray..I believe he just told you to shut up." said Beverly..

"Well I am the lead attorney representing your wife and you will not speak to my husband or any of my staff like that again..If you do..We are done here Ben..Talk to your client." said Olivia...

"Okay...Now Liv....Perry, cool it now..both of you.."said a nervous Ben Creff.....

"You may have a relationship with this woman Ben,But I don't.." said Perry...Who looked at Olivia as though she were a disrespectful child.

"But you will soon....If you know what I mean Mr. Richardson and I KNOW YOU DO!" said Olivia, showing him the same disdain...

He again looked exasperated....

"I don't know who you are again young lady, but don't let your mouth-" he said before I interrupted him...

"Don't let her mouth do what?  I KNOW you aren't threatening my wife....You need to stop talking right about now.."I said, staring directly into his eyes...

"Alright..Alright...Everybody sit down...Calm down...Relax...There is no need for hostility.." said Ben Creff.

Kayla had been silent up until now....She finally spoke..

"You know if my spouse was charged with second degree murder...I would have been at every hearing...I wouldn't have chosen to leave town , the day after she was arrested and I gotta admit..It looks mighty funny that you've gone out and gotten yourself an attorney and set up some meeting away from everyone to proffer a deal, but actually to find out what our defense is or what do we know....but that's just me talking..I'm not the lead attorney..." said Kayla..

"Ben...I'm not going to take much more of this.."said Perry who looked at Olivia, Beverly and Kayla with equal disdain..

"What you're going to do is sit down and shut your mouth and we are going to show you what we have.....I'm not in the habit of repeating myself...NOW SIT DOWN!!" I said...

"Who do YOU think you're talking to?" he said.

I stood up, gripped him in his collar and shoved him down into his chair hard....Like most bullies he offered no resistance when met with someone who wasn't afraid of him and who might just kick his ass.

Olivia, Beverly and Kayla all looked astounded...They had never seen this side of me before..but I had taken all I could take from this fool..

Perry Richardson looked flabbergasted, but he didn't make any further moves......He was no fool.

Olivia put a DVD in the laptop and turned it on....

Ben Creff gasped..

There on the screen was Mrs. Richardson in Rubber and leather suits ,with a rubber ball in her mouth, on the floor on all fours...being whipped ...and dressed like a little girl ,being spanked by Mr. Richardson...

There was a scene of her on her knees sucking his penis dry and  of him mounting her on all fours in the bedroom, the garage and in the kitchen...dressed like a cowboy...

"Whoaaaa...Dude...What are you into?" he said and howled with laughter....Since we'd already seen it...We weren't the least bit surprised....

Perry Richardson was stunned..

"WHERE DID YOU GET THIS FOOTAGE???  WHERE???" he screamed...

And then the last scenes...With the murder victim...Angelique Houston were seen...

"You were doing her too? You didn't tell me that Perry...Dude..you are a killer.." he joked..

"In more ways than one....Here are emails...Emails you sent to Angelique Houston...Emails begging her not to leave you....But more important...the next to the last one..In which she said she'd had a change of heart and wanted to end your  arrangement..An arrangement that includes you paying for her condo..This is the rental agreement....Your signature is on it...And last but not least...My husband went back to your sister in law's house last night and had a long talk with your son....Here are emails your son sent to Angelique and she sent to him....They were having an affair too...And you found out about it..."said Olivia...

"Considering how imperiously you carry yourself and how you rule your roost with an iron hand...I'm betting you couldn't deal with that....You struck her with a blunt object in anger and killed her...You panicked...and then you remembered you had drugged your wife that night...You just calmly suggested to her to remove the body and you just happened to have the video cameras that you've placed all over that big house of yours, record her dragging the body in her drugged state and trying to wash the blood..You set her up...You bastard!"said Beverly...


His entire demeanor changed...

"It was an accident...I-I-I-I- lost my temper...Does anybody else know about this?" he said.

"We have to share this with the D.A.'s office."said Olivia..

"No please!!!..Please don't!!!...I couldn't take the public humiliation...I'll..I'll do whatever you want...Whatever you want." he said.

"Soooooo Perry, you're going to bend over and point in the direction we tell you...."I said.

Ben laughed....

"Olivia..You're thorough if not anything else...and your husband is good...But you and I both know that he can't use this DVD in court!!!...Whether you share it with the D.A. or not." he said.

"We don't intend to....Between the paperwork, and the emails ,which we certainly can use..We have more than enough to acquit Mrs. Richardson and shine a light his way.."said Olivia... "AM I MAKING SENSE TO YOU NOW MR. RICHARDSON?" asked Olivia glaring angrily at him...

He was as red as a beet and had slithered down in his chair...

"Oh Lawd, please....please...I'm a sick man...Have mercy on me..Please!" yelled Perry Richardson...now sweating profusely...He clearly hadn't expected all of this.

"Alright Livy...Can we make some type of deal here?" said Ben...

Perry Richardson blurted out...

"I have a problem....I'm a freak...I'm a sex addict...I-I need to have  it...I need it two and three times a day and in several different ways... I need to have it..I 've got to have it!"he cried..

Kayla looked at him ,smiled and shook her head...She thought about the last time she had sex with Brian Nixon in Atlanta in that motel..

"Kayla...Kayyyyla..ohhhhhhhh my god, this is soo damnnn goood...I know..but I can't..I had to see you,I had to have you...You don't understand baby...You come in the office everyday,looking so good, smelling so good It's just more than I can take.......and today you had on that short dress and those fishnet stockings...I nearly lost my mind honey..I got to have it.." he said looking at her hungrilly and lustfully...like a wolf waiting to devour a helpless sheep.."

How pathetic both of them sounded..Thought Kayla as she allowed a smile to come across her face.

Perry Richardson looked at her and then Beverly..

"Seriously...I-I-need to have it...Constantly...." he said.

"I believe you..."said Beverly...

"Nothing feels more relaxing than an orgasm...or three or four orgasms..."he said..

"AMEN! YESSS!! YESSSSSSSSSSSS" said Beverly unaware that everyone in the room was staring at her......

Kayla and Olivia gave Beverly the side eye and then all three women busted out laughing...

Ben Creff looked at me and he busted out laughing...

"Okay Liv...Let's uh get down.....To Business that is." he said and slapped his palm on the table and continued laughing...

For the first time...Olivia busted out laughing....

The only person not laughing was Perry Richardson...All of the sudden the blustery and boistrous villian was now a helpless little boy..

"I have a problem....I-I-I need to have it...I'm sick...I'm a sex addict...I need to have it!I've simply got to have it!" he mumbled ,oblivious to everyone around him...

II-

A week later, The District Attorney's Office dropped all charges against Georgia Bea Richardson...

Ben Creff and his client..Perry Richardson made a plea agreement...Manslaughter, with provisions for sex addiction therapy...He was looking at 5-10 years in prison with most likely a parole in five years....It was the best deal he could get and far less time than he actually deserved..

"I don't know how to thank you Olivia and your girls.." said Georgia Bea Richardson..as she walked out of court with Olivia, Beverly and Kayla..

"Just doing my job Mrs. Richardson..." said Olivia..."What are you going to do now?"
asked Olivia..

"I'm selling that house for one thing...and I want a divorce...Can you handle that?" she asked..

"Yes..I can....And I know of two good realtors who can take your house off of your hands.."said Olivia...

"My son is going to college next year....I'm going to buy a smaller place for me and him..."she said.

"Good for you."said Olivia...

Terrence was standing in the corner talking to Beverly and Kayla...

"So you two are cousins...and that's your aunt? Wow!  All three of you all look like you could be sisters....Damnnn....Your aunt is married and you got a boyfriend right Bev?" he asked..

Beverly smiled..

"Yes Terrence and I'm a little too old for you..." said Beverly...

"I'm mature for my years...for real ,for real.." he said.

Beverly smiled and laughed...

"How bout your cousin..She got a boyfriend?" asked Terrence..

"No Terrence I don't...and If I were 18 or even 19..You would be just right for me...But I'm too old for you too and plus..I don't live here...I live in the ATL...and...I've been in Philly long enough...It's time I returned home..." she said.

"Man...yall fine..."he said.

"Aww Thank you Terrence...You're going to college in a few months...You'll meet plenty of girls there believe me..Girls your age and with your experience...You'll be fighting them off.."said Beverly.

"You think so?" he said.

"Sure." said Kayla who hugged him....Beverly kissed him on the cheek...

I stood to the side..

"Okay ladies...Time to Ride.." I said as we left the courthouse..

I drove and Olivia sat in the front with me...Beverly and Kayla sat in the back seat...

''So you're leaving?" said Beverly.

"Yeahhhh..It's time I return to Atlanta and to work...I've gotten myself together..I want to thank you and Cousin Liv...and you too Cousin Donnie Ray for your hospitality..."she said.

"Thank you for helping out on the case...It was nice having two very talented attorneys with me.."said Olivia with a smile..

''Wow! And you didn't have to go to trial..." said Kayla..

"That's the way we like it... It's a win!" laughed Beverly who hugged her cousin and kissed her cheek...

''Awwww..I'm gonna miss you...It was nice having a roomie.." said Beverly.

"You get some time off...You and Nelson should come and visit me in the ATL..I'll show you a good time..You too Cousin Livy, Cousin Donnie Ray..

''Atlanta is definitely on my list of vacation spots.." said Olivia..

"Well, since it's your last night here...Why don't we go someplace nice? Mulberry Street?" I said...

"Ouu yes...Let me call Nelson..." said Beverly...

"Good Idea Hubby...I could use a nice cold drink...." said Olivia...

It was a nice end to a strange case and a nice visit!

EPILOUGE-

Olivia handled Georgia Bea Richardson's divorce from Perry Richardson...but he couldn't handle his punishment...

Someone had passed him a cyanide tablet...On the eve of his sentencing...He was found dead in his holding cell..A suicide!...He had been a bully most of his adult life and like most bully's he was a coward...He took the coward's way out..

Kayla wouldn't find out until she got back to Atlanta...but all was not well in Brian Nixon's household...

"What do you mean it's not mine?" screamed Brian Nixon...

"I'm sorry...It was just a one time thing Brian...I'm sorry...You weren't home and..and Pastor came by and I was upset and he comforted me and one thing led to another and the next thing I know....WE WERE IN BED!!!!"said Brianna..

"WHATTTTT? PASTOR BLEDSOE?? HE's OLD ENOUGH TO BE YOUR FATHER!!" screamed Brian Nixon...

"Well he's not my father....but he sure put it down hard like a man should..whooooo." she said momentarily forgetting that her husband was standing right there...

"I DON'T BELIEVE THIS!!! YOU CHEATED ON ME..AND WITH PASTOR BLEDSOE....DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!." he screamed!

We were all at the airport to see Kayla off..

 Olivia hugged and kissed Kayla.....

"I'm going to miss you girl...Don't be a stranger and call me..Email me.." she said.

 "Oh Most definitely Cousin Olivia...I'll friend you and Cousin Bev on Facebook and Twitter." said Kayla..

Beverly was crying a little bit, but she hugged her cousin...

 "I'm gonna miss you girl...It was so much fun having you here and having you work this case with us.."said Beverly..

 "And I enjoyed working it with you guys...We have to do this again." she said.

"Who knows...Maybe we'll come to the ATL and help you out.."I said and hugged her...

"For sure cousin Donnie Ray.." she said and kissed me softly on the cheek...

"It was nice meeting you Kayla.."said Josie..

"Nice meeting you too Josie."said Kayla who hugged her...

She had a big smile and a hug and a kiss on the cheek for Nelson...

"Nice meeting you Kayla..." he said.

"Be good to my cousin..." she said...

"I will..." he said..

We watched and waved as she got on her plane....We continued watching as her plane took off and soon was out of our sight...Then the five us headed to the car...

I don't know...It was funny...She had only been with us for a month...But now that she was gone...The world around us seemed a little empty...Some people fill up your life like that!
