Ted & Alice & Justin



 I sat in the back of the courtroom watching my wife, Attorney,Olivia Bennett-Alexander and her niece, also an Attorney, Beverly West tackle their latest case....


They were defending an attractive young African-American woman named Gail Langford.. 

She had been fired for refusing to engage in a plot schemed up by our very married State Legistlator, Edward "Teddy" Cruser...

I'm Olivia's husband, Private Investigator, Donnie Ray Alexander....Ex- New Orleans P.D. Homicide Detective..Now the chief (only)investigator for my wife's law  firm, Alexander and West.



 My wife had a soft spot in her heart for Gail... Gail was a law student...in her final year of law school at Penn Law..Her alma -mater...She had been working as a Legislative aide to defray some of her law school costs...

Olivia told me she had modeled on weekends in New York City to defray costs when she had been a young law student...She showed me some of her photos...Even then she was smoking hot...I had told her that!

Beverly hadn't modeled, although she could have...She had worked as a para-legal under the great attorney ,"Hoagie" ,who had also tutored her aunt and just about every black attorney of note that I had met in this town since I'd been here....
She too had a soft spot for Gail Langford , who was merely a pawn in a larger game...

My intial investigation had turned this up...

It had already been leaked that State Legislator , Edward "Teddy" Cruser and State Legislator, Alice Singeltary had been having a hot and steamy affair...

They both were busy denying it of course....

Their steamy affair is note worth because both Legislators are Republican and very pro-family values...anti gay marriage and proponents of traditional marriage...

But as all of the media had reported months before, the real trouble came when these two allegedly used their taxpayer-funded offices to maintain and cover up their relationship.

 Edward "Teddy" Cruser allegedly pressed his aide, Gail Langford to leak a rumor – making it seem as if it had come from one of his political enemies – telling state GOP activists that he had been “caught behind a notorious Philadelphia  nightclub having sex with a man. "

The scheme, apparently, was based on the idea that the leak of a bogus claim would become a distraction for a while, but once it was discredited, it would be harder to then accuse Teddy Cruser of his actual extra-marital affair with Alice Singeltary.

 As he  put it, the plan was designed to “inoculate the herd.”
But when Gail Langford refused to participate in the scheme, she was demoted and soon after fired without explanation.

Her mother and father came to us...and told us her story...It didn't take Olivia or Bev any time at all to decide to take her case..




Edward "Teddy" Cruser is a married father of four, Alice Singeltary is a married mother of three.  The two ultra-conservative lawmakers often invoked their Christian faith in pursuit of new legislation governing gun rights, abortion and marriage.

Both were still in office and still arguing that they had done no wrong... but our client was out of a job..a job she wanted back..and a job she wanted back pay for...

This is what my wife and Beverly was arguing for in the courtroom...

They weren't having an easy go of it today..They were arguing before Judge H. Stanley Stanlison...A well known and respected jurist who had been an Assistant District Attorney and A successful defense attorney in private practice before becoming a judge...

He clearly had no sympathy for Olivia and Beverly's argument and didn't hide the fact that he was clearly slanted towards the State's attorney, Lance Roderick, a very ambitious, young white attorney who seemed to be tickled pink that he was going up against the celebrated Olivia Bennett-Alexander and Beverly West

II-


I watched as Olivia and Beverly walked out of court with Gail Langford  by their side..

Mr and Mrs. Langford walked over to them....

"We can't thank you enough for taking our daughter's case Mrs. Alexander and Ms. West."said Mrs. Langford.

 "I don't know if you should thank us just yet Mrs. Langford...We aren't doing too well in there...The Judge shot down every motion..."said Olivia, who looked both tired and defeated...

"I saw that...I'll bet he's Republican or on their payroll.."said Mr. LAngford...

"You sound just like my dad Mr. Langford.."laughed Olivia...


"We've got tomorrow...We have a few more motions to make sir."said Beverly...

Gail smiled...

"I believe in you two....I've got one more semester to go and I graduate and then I'll take the bar....It's not the money Ms. Beverly , Ms. Olivia..It's the principle of the thing...Those two liars, those two phonies are still in office, still lying ,still perpetrating a fraud and I'm out of a job...I didn't do anything wrong Mrs.Alexander, Ms. West..I did my job...I refused to do any extra-curricular activities...They're trying to say that my work wasn't up to par..but that's a lie. Everybody in the office knew they were screwing...We found Mrs. Singeltary's bra in the office once...And we found discarded condoms all the time...They shouldn't be allowed to get away with this...It's not right."she said passionately...

Olivia looked at her and smiled..
"Wow...Listen at that passion, that articulation...She reminds me of myself when I was a young attorney..That's why I'm going to fight for you hard Gail..."said Olivia who looked re-energized...

I walked up to them just then and smiled...

"Mr. and Mrs. Langford...This is my husband, Donnie Ray Alexander...He's our firm's investigator..."said Olivia proudly...

I liked the way that sound..."Husband"

Mr. Langford shook my hand...

"You move like you used to be a cop." he said smiling..

Was I that obvious?


"I did..I was a homicide detective "I said.

"I was a cop too...I'm retired now...I wasn't homicide...I was Vice ,then Robbery, Then Special Victims unit..."he said..

"Ahhhh cop to cop.."I said smiling..

"Game recognizes game."he said and we both shared a laugh...


"We'll see you tomorrow in court."said Olivia as they waved and walked off...

"Nice family."I said.

"I sure hope we can help them....I sure wish we had another judge....I get the impression he doesn't like us.How bout you Auntay?" asked Beverly...

"Doesn't matter whether he likes us or not...We've got to find a way to bring credible evidence to support our wrongful termination claims."said Olivia..

"The key is whether or not there is an affair between Teddy and Alice.. They are saying it isn't...Mr. Cruser says she was fired for poor job performance..So we one have to prove that that was not the case...and two that there is in fact an affair."I said.

"You think anyone in that office will talk to us?" asked Olivia..

"Maybe not you two...but maybe me..I said.

"And how can we prove that there was an affair?" asked Beverly...

"Come on Bev...Everybody is talking about it....Do you think they are going to stop? I'm sure they're going to keep going at it...They're just not going to use the office as a trysting spot..."I said.

"Let's go get some drinks...I'm beat." said Olivia...

"Great idea." I said.

III-


 We went to a bar a few blocks from the courthouse and ordered drinks...

"I'm glad this is a jury trial.....If it depended on that sour puss judge, we'd be done.."said Olivia...

"I know...I prefer juries of twelve...Juries of six worry me..."said Beverly...


 "Well the jury is made up of four women at least...Two white,one Latina and one black and the two guys,one white and one Black is a nice mix...I think if we can sway them we have a chance..."said Olivia..

"Shame you girls can't use your obvious sex appeal this time..."I joked...Both my wife and her niece were attractive women and most of the time when they had male judges...they often got the benefit of the doubt....But not this time...H Stanley Stanlison was a no nonsense judge...Nothing moved him..

A young well dressed white guy walked over to us...

"Beverly? Is that you? Beverly West??" he said.

Beverly turned around and her mouth opened wide....Her eyes got as big as saucers....

"Justin??? Justin Theorix (Tha- Ree)" she said....

 They both laughed and hugged each other.....

Beverly turned and introduced us...

"Auntay...This is my friend, Justin Theorix....He's an Attorney I met several years ago....Justin,this is my aunt, Olivia Bennett-Alexander.."she said...

He smiled..

"Your Aunt eh? She needs no introduction...I've seen her on television many times...I'm well aware of your aunt...Pleased to finally meet you Mrs. Alexander.."he said and kissed Olivia's hand...

"Ouuuuuu...he kissed my hand...What a gentleman..."Olivia said and laughed...  "This is my husband,Donnie Ray Alexander...He's an investigator with our firm."she said.

"What's up man?" I said and shook his hand....

He smiled...

"Heyyy! I saw Beverly in court several years ago and I was impressed with her...I offered her a job with the U.S. Government...The Immigration department." he said.


 "I went to D.C. two times and interviewed ...I stayed at his home....Had a good time."said Beverly...

He smiled..

"She had the job too...It broke my heart when she told me she wasn't going to take it...But in wake of that...I don't blame her...She's a partner...a full partner in a law firm and from the looks of things...Making real good money in the private sector...Way more than she'd of made in the Immigration department..but more than being a Public Defender...You done good Bev......I'm proud of you Bev...I don't blame you for your choice. Working with such a distinguished attorney as your aunt here." he said.

"So you're not up here to try and take my niece from me with another job offer?" asked Olivia jokingly...

He smiled and raised both palms...

"Oh No...Noooo...I'm up here on personal business..But it is a pleasure meeting you Mrs. Alexander and seeing Bev again...You married Bev?" he asked..

"No...but I'm seeing someone...It's pretty serious." she said...

"Good for you..Good for you...Partner in a law firm, got a man...Doing just lovely...I love it girl..."he said.

"How long you in town for?" asked Beverly...

"Just a few days...I'm staying at the Marriott in town.."he said..

"Here is my address...You stop by...Maybe we can hang out.."said Beverly...

"Uh yeah...yeah..Maybe I'll do that before I leave."he said..  "So uh..I'm on my way out of here, while I still can walk..I'm a bit tipsy..." he said.

"You need a ride? Our car is outside...We have room...I can drop you off somewhere.."I said.

"Wouldn't dream of it Donnie Ray....I can call you Donnie Ray right?" he asked..

"Yeah,sure."I said.

"I'm catching a cab....Good night...Nice meeting you guys.....I'll check you out Bev...Meet your boyfriend and all."he said as he left...

"Byeeee."said Beverly as he left....

Olivia looked at her niece and smiled..

"He's cute Bev...I didn't know you had a white boy in your life."she said smiling sheepishly and looking at Beverly...

"I didn't....I mean...When he first started talking to me...Telling me how much he admired my work in the courtroom...I initially thought he was you know, kind of sweet on me...but he never made any moves,never did anything......He's no Larry North or Nelson East either.."she said smiling..

''Shortcake...You said you went to D.C. to interview twice...and you stayed with him..."I said smiling wryly...

"I know, but two of the three nights I was there ,he wasn't at home...And the night he did come home ,he and his guy friends were there...We played cards and drank and that was it...That was the first time..The second time I went down there...He slept in his room and I slept in an extra room..He was the perfect gentleman...Didn't try anything...Not a kiss...Nothing..I just figured ...He wasn't into sisters...But he was still a hell of a nice guy."said Bev.

"Nobody is that much of a gentleman shortcake...Maybe he's not into women period if you get my drift.."I said.

"Oh stop it Donnie Ray, put your gaydar antennas down."joked Olivia

"I'm just saying"I said and laughed...

"You might be right Donnie Ray...I don't know...I don't want to seem egotistical...but of all the guys I know...He's the only one who I can stay the weekend at his home and not have to worry about him pawing on my bedroom door."she said.

"So many layers to the Beverly onion... Come on ladies...Let's go home.."I said...

IV-

 And in a motel , outside the city limits...


"Ohhhhhhh Alice...Oh My God..." came the moans of State Legislator Edward "Teddy" Cruser

"Ouuuuuu, Big Tasty..." moaned State Legislator Alice Singeltary...

"Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssss...Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.." he moaned as they stood in the middle of the floor kissing passionately.....

"We've got to ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..stop this...people are already whispering...ohhhh my god...ouuuuuu Big Tasty..." she said.

"I can't stop....can you?  I've got to have you..." he said...

''What about your wife? You think she suspects?" she asked..

"She doesn't have a clue..She thinks I'm at a lengthy session of the legislature.."he said..

"My husband thinks I'm out with the girls.."she laughed...

Soon they were on the bed...He laid across the bed and she eased herself down on his engorged penis...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu  I like that...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.."she cooed..

"I like it tooo....ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh baby...."he moaned...

"Yes...."she said..

She moved herself up and down for close to an hour...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, oh my goodness...ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Big Tasty..."she cooed..

"Big Tasty likes...Big Tasty likes... jeeeez...I'm about to blow my load, he said as he continued to ease her up and down on top of him...

Soon they were in the missionary position...

"I said we were just going to do it once or twice and that was going to be it...but I can't quit..I can't stop..it's too good."he said.

"Me neither...I can't quit either...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."she moaned..

Unknown to them....Someone was outside their motel room snapping photos...

"That's right Mr. Cruse..That's right..keep on stroking...Your good thing is about to come to an end."said Justin Theorix.
