Birdy's Revenge

A Friday morning found all of us sitting around the office..Nobody had any pressing court cases and it was that rare day that we all could relax....

I had played a gig the night before and was relaxing at my wife, Attorney Olivia Bennett-Alexander's desk...with my wife....sitting in my lap..

I was holding her and she was leaning her head on to my shoulders... Her niece,Attorney Beverly West and our office manager, Josie Boyd had just come in with lunch, Hoagies from Sam Mother's Diner...

"Hey Auntay, D.R.....Let go of each other for a few minutes so you can get these Hoagies..."joked Beverly....

"Leave em alone Bev..They are so cute together.." smiled Josie....

"That's okay Josie...I pay my niece no mind...You should see her and Nelson...But I do have to get up Donnie Ray,so I can get napkins for all of us."said Olivia, smiling and getting up....

Just as she did...The doorbell rang...

"Damn it...I knew it...As soon as we get ready to eat..."I said...

"I'll get it.."said Josie...who answered the door...

A white man..tall, athletically built, young, well dressed stood in the doorway...

"This is Alexander and West ,Attorneys at law is it not?" he asked..

"Yes it is....May I help you?" asked Josie..

"I don't have an appointment...but could you ask Mrs. Olivia Bennett-Alexander if I could have a minute of her time? Tell her it's States Attorney Lance Roderick..." he said..

"Okay.."said Josie, who walked into our inner office..

"Mrs. A. It's State's Attorney Lance Roderick...He'd like to talk to you." she said.

Beverly looked puzzled....Just three weeks before we had just faced off against him in court..

"Wonder what he could want?" she asked..

''We'll never know just sitting here...Bring him back "said Olivia to Josie...

Josie brought him back....He smiled imperiously...He looked around...He smiled...

"Nice little operation you have here....Just you two attorneys?" he asked..

"For now...Yes...Overhead is low, manageable."laughed Olivia..

"That makes sense..."he said, smiling...First time he had ever smiled at Olivia and Bev.

"Sooooooo, to what do I owe the honor of your presence?" she asked...

"I want you to represent me." he said..

Beverly was incredulous...

"You What?  We just faced off against you in court...just a few weeks ago..Your Judge friend was trying to put me and my auntay in jail for contempt..." she said.

"I know...He's no friend of mine...Not anymore."said Lance Roderick...

''So what is this about?" I asked.

"I'm going through a divorce....I want your wife and possibly her niece to represent me." he said.

"Really? What has that got to do with the good judge?" she asked...

''And I want to sue Judge H.Stanley Stanlison for damages...Psychological and emotional distress to boot...You should appreciate that...It will give you a chance to get a little payback for what he put you and your niece through.." said Lance Roderick..

"Am I hearing this right? YOU ARE SUING JUDGE H. STANLEY STANLISON?" asked Olivia...

"I am..." said Lance Roderick...

"For what? What does this have to do with your divorce?" asked Olivia...

He pulled out a zip drive...

"Here, see for yourself....I got this in the mail three days ago....I've been so angry I didn't know what to do with myself..."he said.



II-

We placed the zip drive in one of our laptops.....

A shapely and very attractive auburned haired woman was in her kitchen washing dishes when the doorbell rang.

She walked to the door...

"Oh hi Judge....How are you doing?" she said.

"Hi Laurie...Is Lance in?" he asked..

"No....You know he's not in...You wouldn't be here this time of day if he was."she said and smiled..

He smiled sheepishly....

"He took it pretty bad..Losing that case..."he said..."I did all I could to help him..but those two lawyers he was up against were way above his paygrade....in experience and court savy."said Judge H.Stanley Stanlison...

"You guys didn't have much of a case....Everybody knew Teddy Cruser and Alice Singeltary were screwing each other...Lance knew it.....and that that poor girl was just a smoke screen, what does Lance call it...Collateral damage?" she laughed..."I'm in the kitchen, you can come in...Can I fix you a drink?" she asked as she walked in the kitchen..

"Uh no...No...."he said.

She finished washing the dishes....

"Let me help you with that." he said and smiled sheepishly...

"What do you want?" she asked...and smiled slyly....

"Heh,heh,heh...What do I always want??" he laughed as he put the last dish up...

He put his arms around her waste and hugged her...He kissed her neck...

"Uhhh you need to stop...right now....Ouuuuuu Stanley,You're hard as a brick..My goodness..You just got here.."she said and laughed...

''Where are the kids?" he asked..

"In day care.."she said..

''Where is Lance?" he asked..

"You know where he is...Where else? At work...He's trying another case today..."she laughed...

"Damn...isn't that something? That leaves you and me here...Alllll alone, doesn't it?" he said slyly...

She laughed...

"Funny how that works out doesn't it?" she smiled..as he ran his hands up under her dress...she softly fondled his erect penis...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...Oh my goddd.."he moaned...

"Don't you have a wife at home? To do this for you?" she asked...as he slowly slipped her panties down...and slipped her dress off.... She didn't act the least bit surprised or try to stop him....It was almost as if this was routine...as if she was used to this...

"You are sooo naughty Judge.."she said laughing...

"Oh my god, red panties...red bra...oh lawd..."he moaned...as he unzippered his trousers and they fell to his ankles...

"Stoppp it...you are getting a little too excited."she said....

"Ummmmph..oh my God Laurie....you are driving me crazy...I couldn't concentrate on my work today...All I could think about was you.." he moaned...

"You are sooooo baddddd..."she cooed as she softly stroked his engorged penis..."Ouuuuu...look at you...I'll bet I could balance my wrist watch on that thing..."she laughed..

"You could balance more than that on it."he joked..

"Ouuuuuuuu,ohhhh myyyy ,Stanley, you are badddd."she cooed and giggled...

Sweat ran down his brow and his eyes seemed to roll into the back of his head....

"Ohhhhhhhhhhh.. I'm losing my mindddd..."he moaned...as she continued to rub him softly...and smile at him...

Soon he had entered her from behind and was going to town.....

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..LA...LAAAAAAAAAAAA..." he moaned softly.....

"Oh my god, Stanleyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy...ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...we shouldn't be doing this....ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.."she moaned as her brown hair fell into his face....

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmph, why notttt?Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..LA...LAAAAAAAAAAAA.."he moaned as he stroked her slowly against the kitchen sink....kissing her neck and thrusting harder...

Within minutes they were both on the kitchen floor...going to town.....

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..." she moaned..

"Laurie ,oh my god.......ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.."he moaned...

"Ummmmmmm.." he grunted..

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuu..ohhhh my goodness..ouuuuuuu...Stanley...Ohhhhhh my god..." came her shrill voice..

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...""Ohhh baby, give it to meeeee....ummmmmmph...Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..LA...LAAAAAAAAAAAA.."he moaned...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... Stanley...Stanley......ouuuuuuuuuu, more, more... ohhhhhh..."

"Sock it to me Stanley...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...this feels sooo damn good...I needed this,ouuuuuuuuuu...you don't know how I needed this...ummmmmmm... "she moaned.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh gooooddddddd lawdd it's soooo goood...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh damnnn girl...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sweeeeet jesusssssssssss ..arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.."he cried ...out!!"Morrre...Morreee....morrre...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..LA...LAAAAAAAAAAAA.. "

"Stanley..ouuuuuu..Stanley....OHHHHHHH. Stanley I'm cumming...ohhhhh my goodness..ouuuuuuu!"she wailed...

She was sweating profusely....So was he.....

"Ohhhhhhh,ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, here it comes...here it comes....ohhhhhhhhhhhh...Laurieeeeeeeeee..YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS,SWEET BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!Ouuuuuu LA laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa." he yelled...

"Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssss..ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, Stanleyyy OHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh goodnesss!!!!!ohhhhhhhhhhhhh!" she yelled...

They were rocking so hard... they looked like they were going to go through the kitchen floor...

They both began shaking and holding each other...They were both climaxing.....His bottom lip was quivering...She was shaking and sweating profusely....breathing heavily.....

"Oh My god, Stanleyyy..ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.." she screamed.

"Laurie.....Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my god!SWEEEET, SWEET BABY!"he screamed as he came harder than he had in awhile.

She got up...put her bra and panties back on and slipped her dress back on...Her hair was a mess...He pulled his trousers up, tried to fix his shirt and tie...Put his wrinkled suit jacket back on...

"Oh....doin it on the kitchen floor was rough on my knees..."he said smiling...

"Maybe we shouldn't be doing this in my house at all."she said..

He peeled off a few hundreds...

"Or maybe you shouldn't be taking my money eh? These extra dollars come in handy huh?" he said..

She slapped him in the face...

"I'm not your whore..."she said..

He pulled her to him and began kissing her passionately...Within minutes he had her dress up and had his hands down in her panties again...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."she moaned...

"You got me so excited just now....uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.." he moaned....

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..Stanley...you got me excited too..ouuuu"she moaned..as she continued to kiss him....

She unzippered his trousers and began to rub his engorged penis harder and faster until he exploded with pleasure...in the kitchen sink.....

"Ummmmmm,ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu LA ..laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.." he moaned....

"STANLEY!! IN MY SINK??? I have to wash my dishes in that sink.."she said laughing...

"I-I couldn't help myself...I -I couldn't control myself...Ouuuuu LA...laaaaaaaaaaaaaa.."he moaned...

(Click!)

Beverly giggled...."Ouuu LA laaaaaaaaaaaaa..." she said...

Josie laughed too..."Too much..Too much." she said laughing uncontrollably...

I didn't laugh...but I smiled...I never imagined the old judge to be so randy...

Olivia gasped...

"Oh Myyyy."was all she would say...

Olivia was so proper and prissy in public...I smiled at the thought of what a completely different person she was in the bedroom in the throes of passion....It was like she was a different woman.

"Seen enough?" said Lance Roderick...."That's my wife...or soon to be ex -wife..."he said..

"Who sent this to you?" I asked..

"I don't know...It came in the mail..." he said.

"You still got the envelope it came in?" I asked..

"Yeah."he said..

"Somebody was in your house...Somebody wired your house..I suspect it was the same person that sent us zip drives with the two legislators having sex."I said.

"I always thought you sent those Mr. Alexander."he said.

"No..I didn't...Somebody other than me sent these zip drives..."I said.

"I don't care who sent it..The fact is...My wife and a man who was like a father to me were getting it on in the kitchen...And here he is surging...In the kitchen where our children...our children eat breakfast...Where we wash our dishes..." he said, now visibly in tears....

"Don't Cry Lance...We'll take your case....Josie..get me some  tissues."said Olivia..

"Yes Mrs. A."said Josie...

Beverly whispered in my ear...

"Ouuuuu LA laaaaaaaaaaaaa.."she said...She sounded very sexy ,the way she whispered it...She didn't want to be seen laughing in front of the man,so she followed Josie into the next room...

I heard both girls going..

"Ouuuuu La Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..." and laughing as silently as they could...

Although I imagine it was personally painful for Lance Roderick...It was funny....It was all I could do to keep a straight face...

I smiled wryly.....


III-

And sooo...Two weeks later, Lance Roderick, The States Attorney sat in an empty courtroom with Olivia, Beverly and myself...Representing him in his divorce and his suit against Judge H.Stanley Stanlison...

You can imagine the look on Stanlison's face when he walked in the courtroom and saw the three of us sitting with Lance Roderick....His jaw just about dropped...

This time...He was not the judge...He was not in control...He was in effect..a private citizen...a plaintif in a lawsuit...

He looked at Lance with a steely gaze when he walked by...

"Lance ,I can't believe you would do this to me!"he said.

''Excuse me...would you please refrain from speaking to my client....If you have any questions you can direct them to Beverly or myself."said Olivia.

He sneered....

"You are really enjoying this aren't you?" he said...

Beverly smiled..

"I know I am."she said.."Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..LA...LAAAAAAAAAAAA.."she said,laughing her head off...

I couldn't help it...but I laughed too!

He angrily stomped his foot and marched over to his seat next to his attorney...He glared at Beverly like he wanted to choke the life out of her....

This was a non-jury trial...with just a Judge overseeing the case...

Lance's wife Laurie was crying profusely as she walked in with her attorney....

"Oh Lance...I'm so sorry...I'm so sorry...I never meant to hurt you...I swear...Give me one more chance...one more chance...one more chance...one more chance...one more chanceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...He meant nothing to me...I swear..I swear..Can we work this out? Please.....oh lawd Lance...I love you baby...Only you....Ohhhhhhh."she wailed..

Judge H. Stanley Stanlison looked at her..

"Laurie.."he said softly...

"Don't look at me...Don't you ever say a damn thing to me again in life.."she snarled..She looked back at her husband..

"Oh Lance...I'm so sorry...I'm so sorry...I never meant to hurt you...I swear...Give me one more chance...one more chance...one more chance...one more chance...one more chanceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...He meant nothing to me...I swear..I swear..Can we work this out? Please.....oh lawd Lance...I love you baby...Only you....Ohhhhhhh.I'll do anything you want...ANYWHERE YOU WANT...ANYTIME YOU WANT IT BABY!"she wailed..

Lance Roderick looked at her...

"I can't look at you right now Laurie....I gave you a decent life...You didn't have to work..You didn't want for anything...And how do you reward me???You throw yourself around like some five dollar whore...Letting some man surge into our kitchen sink...The damn kitchen sink....I'm sick to my stomach..."he sneered...

"Lance...Lance...Let us work out the details...Don't say anything to either of them..."said Beverly gently to him...

Hard to believe just weeks before...He was in a bitter courtroom battle against both Bev and her Aunt...Amazing how things turn around...

The arguments began....Olivia produced...Exhibit A....The only exhibit...

The zip drive with the incriminating video of the judge having sex with Laurie Broderick....

The Judge smiled wryly upon seeing it and glared at H.Stanley Stanlison and chuckled....

Stanlison's Attorney was visibly shocked...He looked like he'd drank a can of paint....He put his face in his hands...I didn't know if he was laughing or crying...

Laurie's attorney...A woman was disgusted....

"Oh My God..In the damn sink?  Oh this is just disgusting...." she said.....Laurie looked like a chastised child.

Laurie's attorney asked contritely....

"What do you want Mrs. Alexander?"

"Joint custody of the children.....and sale of the house....to be divided equally." she said..

"Let me keep the house ,don't do this to me..."wailed Laurie...

''Sale of the house will give you more than enough money to buy a smaller residence..."said Beverly..

"You get to keep one of the three cars...and you get child support only..No Alimony....and your pre nup is voided."said Olivia...

Laurie's Attorney quickly agreed...

"Sounds fair enough to me...Done!" she said..

Judge H.Stanley Stanlison got it worse....He was being sued for Psychological and emotional cruelty...and causing the end of the marriage.

I gave them enlarged photos of the Judge and Lance Roderick at Sixers games...playing with Lance's kids...At dinners,Social Events...et al...

Beverly and Olivia argued how the Judge had a paternalistic relationship with States Attorney Lance Roderick and how he was a mentor to him...and how it broke his heart to be betrayed by the wife he adored and a man he came to view as a second father...A man who treated him more like a son than his own son, who he wouldn't go to see during his son's last days of life...

This was cut throat...but effective...

Olivia and Bev even called Laurie to the stand to ask her how all of this began..

"It started last year around Christmas....The Judge gave me a card with $5000.00 in it...He told me that that was just for me...a Christmas gift....I told him that I couldn't accept such a huge gift...He said that he wouldn't hear of it...That He knows I could use a little extra money of my own and that he hated seeing me have to ask Lance for spending money all the time.."she said.

''So this was the first of several gifts right?" asked Olivia...

"Yes..I should have told my husband..but I didn't...I banked it...Then a few weeks later...The Judge gave me a very expensive piece of jewelry and another $5000.00...I asked him why he was doing this...I asked him why wasn't he buying these things for his wife? He said that I was a nice woman and he was just looking out for me...so again..I was silent...I should have said something.."she said.

''So he was just giving you these things and not asking for anything?" asked Beverly...

"Yes...and then around Valentines Day....Lance was working on a big case and he cancelled dinner..I was naturally pissed....The Judge came over...He gave me an envelope with $10.000.00 in it and he bought some wine...The kids were over my mother's house...That was the first time he made an advance towards me...At first I rebuffed him...I told him to stop....That this was inappropriate...I even tried to give him his money back....He told me there was a lot more from where that came...I told him,I didn't want it...He wouldn't take no for an answer...He told me that nothing in life is free...He pulled his pants down and one thing led to another...and the next thing I know...We were on the couch, kissing and eventually making love...I felt horrible....Then the next week,I got an envelope in the mail..Another $10,000.00 and soon another afternoon visit from the judge....We made love in the garage...Then two weeks later we made love in our bedroom....I felt like such a slut..I am soooo sorry...I never should have let things get to this point."she sobbed...

H. Stanley Stanlison sunk down in his seat....He looked as if he might go through the floor..

His lawyer looked at him with pure disgust...

When fall the mighty!

III-

Wasn't much either attorney, Stanlisons or Laurie Roderick's could argue about...We had solid proof...

Lance Roderick was granted his divorce and part custody of the couple's children...He allowed Laurie to keep the house and one car...He moved into another home...And only had to pay child support...No alimony....and their pre-nup was voided...

He is presently dating a young attorney he worked with......Laurie is raising her children and not currently seeing anybody!

Judge H.Stanley Stanlison was ordered to pay Lance a very substantial sum of money....And his wife in turn sued him for divorce...

She was represented by Robert Foxworth, who got her the house and both cars as well as a substantial amount of cash...

He glared at both Olivia and Beverly as he left the courtroom..

"You two got your revenge eh?  I won't forget this Ladies...You'd both better pray that neither of you ever show up in my courtroom again." he said.

"You don't know how much I pray that I never see you again." said Olivia...

Beverly and I cracked up laughing....

He stomped his foot and stormed out of the courtroom...

I was tempted to howl -'Ouuu La Laaaa." but he and the judge and the attorneys had heard that enough today!

They wouldn't have to worry about that....News of his tawdry affair had hit the news media and he was censored by the Bar Association and promptly removed from the bench....

Judge H.Stanley Stanlison eventually wound up in private practice and looking for a law firm to work with...He lives in a small apartment....He is very bitter , It has been said that he has started drinking heavily!

They would never have to worry about appearing in his courtroom again...He no longer has one...

EPILOUGE-

WASHINGTON, DC- A WEEK LATER-

Justin Theorix sat at the bar drinking by himself....He was quite surprised when he heard Olivia's voice..

"Hi Justin."she said.

He nearly jumped out of his seat...

"Hi Justin."said Beverly...sitting on the other side of him...

''Oh My God..Bev...Livy,What are you guys doing in D.C.?"he asked...

I peeled off a few dollars....

"This is for his drinks and some drinks for the two ladies "I said.

He looked nervous...

"What is this about?" he asked..

"Oh I think you know....I uh found the private investigator you used...Lee Spann....He was pretty good..placing micro-cameras in Lance Roderick's house and in the State Legislature..and taking such good photos of so many people doing what they shouldn't ought to be doing...and mailing all of those zip drives to so many different places...He is good...He was worth every dime you paid him." I said.

Justin laughed...

"He said I paid him and YOU believe him?"he  said.

"He doesn't strike me as the type who tells tales...Little Birdy..."I said.

Justin laughed...

"Doesn't matter Justin, We know it was you...and we don't care...Thanks to you...We won our case for that young girl who was fired unjustly...and Lance Roderick paid us handsomely for handling his divorce and his lawsuit...How did you know he'd hire us to represent him?"asked Beverly...

"I didn't know that he would hire you two....but you have to see the poetic justice and irony in it all."he said,laughing and sipping his drink..

"Oh I do...I do..."laughed Beverly.

'' It was priceless taking that nasty Judge Stanlison down..I should say...EX-Judge...He has been removed from office..."said Olivia...

"Has he?" laughed Justin...

"Yes...and his wife has left him...He's living in an apartment in downtown Philly and I heard he's looking for a job in private practice now.."said Olivia...

"I'm sure there are plenty jobs open for a process server." I said..

Justin spit his drink out...and howled with laughter.....

"Now that was funny..."he said.

I laughed too and slapped my thigh...

"Yeah...It was..Wasn't it?" I howled.....

''You got your revenge Justin...you ruined the man...And I can't think of a more deserving man...but does it feel as good as you thought it would?" asked Olivia..

Justin looked at Olivia and smiled..

"YES!...YES IT DOES! BETTER!!"he said...

"Well Alrighty then!" laughed Olivia....

The four of us busted out laughing and toasted.....
