Never Saw This Coming

Another day...Another Day in court....This trial had now gone five days....Four days longer than Beverly anticipated....

Both Olivia and Beverly had told me that most civil suits were boring for the observer....They got bogged down in legalize...that the average layman couldn't understand...This case however was anything but..It had everything in it to keep the average person interested...Well, One thing...SEX!

Attorney A.Rodger Cockrill balked when he saw today's visitor in the courtroom, my wife, Attorney Olivia Bennett-Alexander...who he believed had bested him in an earlier case...She arrived  with Beverly's boy friend, Attorney Nelson East....They both sat in the visitor's section..He believed she had told her client to record him making an unwanted and unwarranted sexual advance on her...A stunt that not only got his case thrown out, but nearly got him dis-barred and sued by the plaintiff's husband...He felt that that stunt was low and dirty pool...The animosity he held for Olivia was high..

Olivia in fact had not asked her client to record him...She had no idea that he had been making sexual overtures towards the woman...but when given the ammunition, she of course did use it...

Her niece, Attorney Beverly West , had been co-counsel in that case...She was now representing Ms. Kim Lee in a civil suit against businessman Lo Mein, who had gotten a back massage and then expected sex afterwords..A "Happy Ending" He had exposed his genitals to her and attempted to nearly rape her afterwords...He had ripped her skirt off and her blouse and chased her into the lobby in her bra and panties..Several witnesses had testified to that much...

Cockrill  had to know his case was weak...yet he dragged this trial on for five days and attacked and attacked Beverly as though he was arguing a capital case...

I passed Beverly an affadavit as I arrived a little late to the trial...Beverly read it and smiled at me...

She called Lo Mein to the stand...

"State your name sir." she asked..

"Lo Mein." he said.

"And you sir are a businessman right..You sell Restaraunt supplies and produce correct?" asked Beverly..

"That's right..."he said smiling uneasily...

"Are you married?" she asked.

"I'm divorced.." he said.

"In your divorce decree, your ex-wife stated that you were unfaithful...You liked to sleep with prostitutes."said Beverly.

"I OBJECT!! I CATEGORICALLY OBJECT!!! RELEVANCE!!!" he screamed..

"Where are you going with this counselor?" asked the Judge...

"I'll move along." said Beverly....she smiled seductively at the Judge ,who giggled like a school boy....

"Is it not true that you have three arrests for pandering and soliciting prostitutes?? Yes or No." she asked..

"Yes..."said Lo Mein ,sweating and scrunching down in his chair...

"And you go to a lot of these massage parlors right?" she asked..

"Yes...You have to understand....My job is very stressful and I need relief from the stress.." he explained..

"And as Attorney Cockrill says.. We all know what goes on in some of these places after a back rub...I'm no fool...I know....But this one...This one...There was nothing to make you think that that was going to happen was it?  My client didn't know why you were slipping her the extra money did she?" asked Beverly...

Olivia smiled at Nelson...

"Your girlfriend has got this in the bag...She's got those jurors and that judge eating out of her hands.."

Nelson smiled...

''She's good at that.."he said.

Cockrill tried to clean it up as best he could...but even he knew it was a lost cause... The six jurors came back and ruled unanimously in Kim Lee's Favor...Lo Mein was ordered to pay her an unspecified amount in damages and to never return to her Massage Parlor..

For the second time Cockrill had lost to Olivia and Beverly....Even though this time he was just facing Beverly...

Olivia hugged her little niece...

"You were great baby...I knew you could win that case...."said Olivia.

"As always...your husband's investigative work saved the day.." said Beverly, hugging me and kissing me on the cheek.

"Well...that's what I'm here for."I said smiling.

Nelson kissed Beverly passionately and whispered in her ear...

"I'm gonna rip those big girl panties off of you when I get you alone.."

"Ouuuuuuu Nelsonnnnnn." she said...blushing and sweating a bit...Nelson had changed since he'd been her boyfriend...He had quit the public defender's office...Gotten a job in the private sector...He was an Associate Attorney at Robert Foxworth's Law Practice ...and was way more aggressive with her sexually...It really turned her on...

I pulled Olivia to me and kissed her passionately...

"You know what I want right?" I said.

"What you always want sweetie....Me" she laughed...

"That's right.." I laughed...

Attorney Cockrill grabbed his briefcase and walked out gruffly, but before he did...Olivia grabbed him...

"Rodger...just so you know...I swear, I did not tell my client to record you...I had no idea she was going to do that...I had no idea you were making sexual advances to her.."said Olivia.

"Maybe you didn't...but you used the recording anyway." he snorted..

 

"And you wouldn't have?" I asked.

He stormed out in a huff..

Olivia put her arms around me and Beverly...



"Hopefully we won't have to deal with him again." she sighed..

 "We can only hope."I said.

"Yeah...said Beverly.

II-

 While we were at trial....At her home...ADA Nina Rios and her new man, Connor were french kissing in the middle of the bedroom floor...

"Connor...What are you doing at my house this time of day?" she asked him,smiling..She really didn't care..

 "I had to see you Nina...I couldn't get you out of my mind...."he said..

"You mean you were horny!." said Nina smiling wickedly...and rubbing his trousers...She could feel his erection ....

He was horny for her...This was becoming more than just a job for him....He was really starting to like Nina...and he knew he couldn't allow this to happen...She was only supposed to be a mark.

"Can't lie to a lawyer." he said...

"Especially not when she's horny too."laughed Nina slyly..

He pulled her to him and kissed her passionately ...She seemed to melt into his arms...They kissed for close to twenty minutes...

She didn't notice that he had placed two tracking devices in her house....

Connor rubbed Nina's breasts...She didn't move his hands....

 He unstrapped her top and kissed the tips of her breasts through her bra.....She continued kissing him passionately....and moaning..Her hands ran across the crotch area of his trousers...She felt how hard he was..

''Aye Mios Dios...You are as hard as an Iron Pipe! Ouuuuuuuu.."she said...sweating and panting...


He lifted her blouse....She had on a purple lace bra....He slipped her mini dress over her head..she was wearing purple sheer bikini panties with white lace.....They both devoured each other's lips passionately right in the doorway..


"Ohhhhh Nina...Ninnnnnnnnnnnna ,ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..." he cried out...


Within minutes...they were kissing and humping on the bed.....

 He entered Nina...slowly, very slowly....
''Ayyee Mios Dios.." she moaned.

He took his time and entered her and went in and eased out ,slowly, savoring her wetness and her warmness like a diner savors a fine steak...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.."moaned Nina as Connor
began to make sweet love to her...on her bed...

She wrapped her legs around his waist ,so he could take all of her...and he didn't disapoint...

The bed was soon rocking back and forth furiously...the headboard softly slamming against the wall...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuu...Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...Ayyeeeee Mios Dios....Ouuuuuuuuuuuuu.."she screamed..

 Three hours turned to six and Nina and Connor were still going at it.. He knew he was planted in her camp and her life to get information...but he wasn't faking this...She was really making him feel good.. The sex was incredible and he was actually beginning to feel attached to Nina Rios..

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Connor....ummmmmmmmmmmmmmph.ouuuuuuuuuu."cooed Nina...

"Nia..ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh,you are driving me crazy.."he moaned..

He loved her curves...her huge breasts...her soft lips..

Just thinking about all of this made him come like a gusher....

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.."moaned Nina as he came furiously and his body shook....

She had climaxed at least four times during the past five hours....She slept peacefully...

While she slept...He went into her computer and copied a lot of her files and emailed them to various places as he was instructed...

He got dressed and quietly left her house....



III-

We were still at court...



Kim Lee and her family thanked Beverly profusely and left....

"Thank You So Much Ms. Beverly..."she said...Hugging Beverly...


Lo Mein walked by...He stared at Kim's cleavage  so hard she had to cover her top...


"You Nasty Dog, Lo Mein." she said..


He giggled and walked out.

''Well you guys...Let's celebrate...Let's go get something to eat and have a few drinks." said Beverly..

"Sounds good to me." said Olivia...

"I know a steak joint ,not too far from here...Great food."I said.

''Donnie Ray, you sure you didn't spend some time in Philly before you met me?" laughed Olivia.

"He's a musician Auntay...He was here before...but damn...He still knows more places than he ought to."laughed Beverly...

"Hey Bev...Isn't that Connor? Nina Rios friend....??" asked Nelson...

"Yeah that's him...His suit is all wrinkled...He looks like he just got out of bed.."said Beverly...

Olivia  smiled-

"Maybe he did.." she said.

"Who is he talking to? Isn't that Cyrus Proctor...Nina's Republican opponent for States Attorney?" asked Nelson.

"It is...but they're just talking...I imagine ,In the circles this guy runs in...He knows all of the players."I said.

"Maybe...but they sure seem chummy...but it's probably nothing." said Beverly...

Olivia stared at him...

''So that's her man...I can't help but think I know him from somewhere else.. "she said...then dismissed it..

"Ahhh, it'll come to me...Let's go eat."she said as the five of us left...

''Alright..I did what you asked Cyrus.."said Connor.

''Good...and I just wired your money into your account.. Good Boy.. What is it?" asked Cyrus Proctor..

"Those people over there....That was Olivia Bennett..." asked Connor.

"The Attorney?? Yeah, what about her?" asked Cyrus..

"Years ago.. She defended me.. She was a Public Defender then..."said Connor..

"All the more reason you shouldn't be hanging around this courthouse...or me...I'm sure she and Nina have met or faced each other in court at some time in their careers... It's time for you to vanish..."said Cyrus Proctor.

"You know...I -I like Nina...She's really a nice woman..."said Connor.

"Yeah, Yeah, Yeah...If she knew what you really do for a living....Who you really are...She'd be the first to send you to prison...How nice would she be then???...You've been paid...Now get lost."said Cyrus.

IV-

Sometime later that afternoon as we were all coming from dinner.. We ran into ADA Rios on the street...

''Wellllllllllll look who it is...The future State's Attorney." I said smiling..

"Thanks for the early vote of confidence Donnie Ray....From the looks on your faces , you guys just had a big meal and considering it's this tony restaurant...I take it the little lady here won her case today."said Nina looking at Beverly...

''I sure did..."beamed Beverly with pride...

"Guess you can tell when we are happy huh?" laughed Nelson...

''Sure can.. Shame you guys have eaten already....I wanted you to meet my fella...He's supposed to meet me here for drinks and dinner...Tomorrow I make my formal announcement of my plans to run for the Democratic nomination for States Attorney.." gushed Nina..

''We saw your fella...At the courthouse...This afternoon....From the looks of him...you really put it on him girl..He might be sleeping it off." laughed Olivia..

Nina Rios blushed...She dialed her phone....She got a strange look on her face...

"Something Wrong honey?" asked Olivia..

"Yes...I just called him and it says his number is out of service...So I dialed his work number and it said the same thing...it's out of service...That's odd..." she said..

FBI Deputy Special Agent in Charge, Sharon Hopkins walked up just then...She was flanked by nine FBI agents...

 "Heyy Sharon, How are you? " said Olivia...

 ''Wow..everybody is out tonight."said Beverly smiling...

"I have a feeling this isn't a social call and you're not out for a summer night's walk."I said judging by the nine FBI agents flanking her...

"Hey guys...No this isn't a social call..This is a call I wish I didn't have to make." said Sharon..

" Sharon? What is this about?" asked ADA Nina Rios.

"Nina ,I don't know how to say this...but..The Drinkwater Case...That was a serious Federal Prosecution that was pending...I don't even know how you got this information, but you apparently sent sensitive information from your home computer to several news organs....It wasn't hard for us to trace it to your computer ,even though you sent it anonymously..."said Sharon.

"There must be some mistake.. I was privy to that prosecution, but I had nothing to do with it...How would I have any documents pretaining to it? I certainly wouldn't leak any information to the press...You know me...I've worked closely with you and The C.I.D. and The DEA as well as the FBI on sensitive investigations...I wouldn't do that." said Nina..

"I didn't want to believe it Nina...I swear, but it was traced clearly to your house and your laptop...I have a warrant here to search your house and impound your computers...And what's more...I have to place you under arrest." said Sharon....

"Sharon come on...This has got to be a mistake.. We know Nina.. She's our friend.. " I said.

"I know Donnie Ray...That's why I wanted to be the one to arrest her...and not somebody else who didn't know her..She'll be down at the Federal Building for booking...I'm sorry guys...I'm sorry Nina...Read her her rights. "said Sharon...

"Oh My God Nooooo."said Nina Rios as she began to cry...She called her boyfriend Connor one last time...

"It says Out of service...What is going on?" she asked as she was handcuffed by the FBI and taken away...

A group of reporters began snapping photos...

"How did the press know about this? Who leaked this arrest to the press?" snapped Sharon, who hustled Nina into a waiting unmarked car and spirited her off...She looked at us one last time...

"I'm sorry Livy, Bev, Donnie Ray....I love her too." she said and got in her car ,along with the rest of the FBI Agents and pulled off...

Nelson and I hustled Olivia and Bev out of the crowd and into our cars and we drove the other way...

"Nina wouldn't do something like this...She was obviously set up...I have to help her." said Olivia as we rushed through the throng of people...

''You mean WE have to help her Auntay. " said Beverly.

"Baby you just finished a big trial...You must be exhausted...I can't ask you to get involved in a case like this.." said Olivia.

''You didn't ask...I volunteered...What did you used to tell me when I was growing up about how sometimes you have to pull up your big girl panties and soldier on?" she said and looked at a smiling Nelson and said..
"And don't you say a thing."she said and smiled..

Nelson just chuckled..

Every fiber of my being said that this was a set up....I knew Nina Rios and she was as straight an arrow as there ever was...I was going to get to the bottom of this...

As the four of us rushed away....None of us saw...Connor, standing across the street, crying profusely...

He had set Nina up...She could be disbarred and face four years in federal prison...her life ruined.. He had done this for money...It was what he did...He had been paid handsomely...He should be happy...but he wasn't....Nina had loved him, trusted him.. She clearly never saw this coming.

The city was a dark, lonely place tonight...
