Husbands And Wives

 72 HOURS LATER-

Early in the morning, the wee morning hours...you could hear the sound...the sound of our bed squeaking...Squeaking quietly...This was a new bed...Nowhere near as loud as our last bed...

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmph..." I moaned...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh Donnie Ray, ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu baby, I love you so much..." cooed Olivia..

"Lawd girl...I love you too.."I moaned..She was so wet, so warm inside...so soft and she smelled like a newborn baby...I slowly lost my mind every time we made love, everytime we kissed....I just could never get enough...

We had turned in early around 9:00 pm and had been kissing and making sweet love ever since we had gotten to our room...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.." moaned Olivia....

''My goodness Mrs. Alexander....you are putting it on me.." I moaned..

''Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu yes..Yes big daddy, you aren't doing so bad yourself...Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh.."she moaned.

We had moved the bed out so that the headboard wouldn't slam up against the wall...It wasn't and we were going to town...

It was nearly four in the morning and I watched as Olivia had not one, but three intense orgasms....She was looking at me ,astonished that I hadn't came yet.She started kissing my neck and licking it and blowing softly in my ear and like clockwork...I came like a gusher.....Shaking and sweating...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu babyyyyy.." I said...

''Darling..." she cooed..

We held each other tightly.....

Olivia wrapped the cover around her...

"I don't know what it is you do to those other men...but I know what you do to me...Lawddd!"I said..

She giggled...

''Oh Stop it Donnie Ray...We have to get some sleep baby...You looked like you were going to go on all night..." she laughed...and kissed me softly as she curled up under me and dozed off..

I might have tried to go longer.....Soon I was out like a light myself..

Below us...Her niece, Beverly and her boyfriend..Nelson were also going at it...

"Damnnn girl...What are you doing to me?" he said..

"What are you doing to me? she asked.....

For nearly six hours they had been making sweet love..making up for lost time...A day maybe...Beverly came so hard, she immediately broke into tears...crying like a little girl ,she felt so good...Which made Nelson come so hard, he felt like he was about to die...

"I never thought I'd say this..but I can't get enough of you Nelson.." she said breathing hard as she sat up in the bed...

''I can't get enough of you either!...Damnnnn baby!" said Nelson, breathing heavy....


''You said you wanted to hit that thang...so I let you."she said ,smiling devilishly..


"Yes you did...I'm going to need to take my vitamins."he said ,laughing..

Nelson was too weak to sit up...He had come so hard...He was completely drained...

"Ouuu,I wanna do it some more..but..I'm just..." he moaned..

''That's okay baby...you did enough...ouuuuuuuuuuu mama is tired...woooooooooooooooo...but happy...Wow!" she said...

Beverly bent down and kissed him and smiled as he pulled her to him and kissed her passionately......She put his arm around her and tucked her head up under his arm...Soon she was asleep too!

We did have work to do....

II-

We did have a case....We were trying to find Jason Manley's wife who had run off with his young son...or so it was believed.

Olivia and Beverly were representing Jason Manley..In his divorce and in the matter of custody...

Olivia had represented Jason years before ,when he had been in college and was accused ,along with a buddy of the drunken sexual assault of a young woman in his college dorm room..She had gotten them both off at a terrible cost to herself personally...By the end of their case..Her marriage had dissolved..Though no fault of Jason and his co-defendent and she had suffered a miscarriage...Definitely his father and the Senior Partner at her then law firm's fault..Both men had since ironically been murdered in unrelated incidents..

Olivia didn't say, but somehow I know, she felt that their deaths was karma ,for them causing her to lose her baby!
Since then she had quit the huge Law firm she had worked for and started her own law firm and she and her co-attorney and niece, Beverly West were representing Jason yet again..With a difference...This was her firm, she was the boss and even if his father were alive and here..She no longer had to jump to his tune...It was however nice that his father wouldn't be here though...He was facing judgement in a much higher court!

Today we were in the office working on strategy, both legal and investigative...

 I took a sip of coffee that Josie had prepared for us...

She looked over at Nelson, who was hanging out with us today and was drifting off to sleep...

''Damn Bev..What you do to him last night..?" she asked..

''Nothing he didn't do to me.." she remarked..

''Freshie" joked Olivia ,while laughing and kissing her niece on the cheek...

"Okay Guys, Here is what we do know.."said Olivia, starting off the meeting...

Jason Manley went to work for his now late father's investment banking firm and proved himself and began to rise to the top of the ranks on his own...His proud father was actually pleased with his son for the first time in his life...."she said.

''He met the future Mrs. Manley, Chase Ellsworth, a young attorney, shortly after her signing with the firm. .,She had only recently left the Public Defender's Office in New York City.... Born here in Philly..She came from working class roots..Went to Little Flower High School, Bachelors  from Temple and a J.D. from NYU in New York City...worked as a Public defender in New York City for a year before returning to Philly and a job with the Investment firm.Jason noticed her shortly after she arrived and began a brief courtship ,

She became pregnant with Junior's son...This was 11 years ago..the boy is now 10 years old...."said Beverly...

''Old Man Manley demanded a paternity test..In fact, from what I found here...A couple and without a doubt...the baby was Jason's child... A battery of lawyers got her to sign a pre-nup before she was even proposed to....The two got married quickly , the child was born and after several years of marriage..Jason and Chase Manley were legally seperated ,pending divorce...on the grounds of -"I said.

"I know this one...Irreconcilable Differences." said Beverly...

''YOU ARE CORRECT MAM! DING DING DING DING DING!" I said..

Olivia busted out laughing and looked at Josie...

"I love these two..They are so much fun to work with." she said..

''All of you are fun to work with...I can't think of a better job."she laughed and then looked at Nelson, who was sound asleep...

Beverly looked at him and smiled..

''Poor Thing! ,Auntay..I'll be back....Wake Up bae..I'm going to take you upstairs and let you sleep in my room..,Come on.." she said gently as Nelson got up and Beverly put her arms around him and walked him upstairs..

Olivia looked at me...

"Jason brought me papers...signed affidavits from his son's school...Where the Teacher and the Principal say his son was acting out and that the mother seemed a bit put out...There is a signed affadavit from the child psychiatrist saying that the mother is both Manic -depressive and possibly Bi-Polar.. This right here is enough to not only get him his divorce, but sole custody of his son..." she said.

"He hasn't contacted the police yet about the boy's disapearence..but he did give me a phone number." I said.

''A ten year old with a cell phone???...Wow!"said Olivia..

"Not uncommon now of days.."I said.

"I called the number and naturally it went to voicemail...buttttttttttttt....by hitting the cell tower of it's provider...I got a ping and a location....."I said.. "When Shortcake comes downstairs we are going to go fishing." I said.

''Can I go too? I've got nothing else to do.."said Olivia...

I smiled..

"Josie..watch the store...When Nelson wakes up...Tell him we went fishing and we'll be back soon." I said.

''He's gone for the night..but if he does wake up...I'll be sure to tell him." laughed Josie.

III-

The signal lead us to the Northeast Airport....The city's other airport...Much smaller....A lot less people..

"Oh My God...we might be too late....He might be on a plane somewhere..Out of the country..."said Beverly..

''Let's not jump to conclusions baby..."said Olivia.

"Your Auntay's right Shortcake...Something tells me his cell phone was dropped off here on purpose..To lead us here and make us think that he got on a plane, while he is somewhere else all along.."I said.

"Bait and Switch."said Olivia..

"Exactly.."I said.

"Auntay...D.R.  ,I think I found something...Dial that number on your phone Donnie Ray." said Beverly..

She had found an Iphone...I dialed the number and it rang.....

"We found his phone.." said Olivia...

''Yeah but all that proves is that he was here or somebody was here with his phone..We don't know where he is..or who took him.."I said..

''Yeah...but we might have a shot at that.."said Beverly, pointing to a surveilance camera above.....

"That camera may have filmed the entire thing." said Beverly...

"Good Girl...This could be the break we need." I said.


IV-

Some hours later we called Jason Manley back into our office...

"Liv, Beverly, tell me we've found my son." he said.

''No ,but we've found his phone at the Northeast Airport.." said Olivia..

''Donnie Ray scrubbed the Airport security cam back 72 hours and we found this ."said Beverly ,showing him a tablet with

Video footage of his son with a woman and a man...He dropped his phone on the ground...He gets into a child seat in the back of the car...The woman gets in the passenger side and the man drives off with them..

"Do you know these people?" asked Olivia..

''Never seen em before in my life...Must be some of my wife's lowlife friends.." said Jason..

''OR YOURS!"came a shreiking female voice... It was Chase Manley..

I had tracked her down ,She was staying with relatives in another part of the city..I told her I was a Private Investigator and given her an update on everything..She was under no legal obligation to come with me..but she agreed ,provided she could bring an Attorney...And she did...Our Old Friend, Arthur Trout...

''Olivia..Beverly...Nice diggs....I wondered when I'd get to see them." he said smiling...

''We've had a standing lunch date for months Arthur..You've never stopped by." joked Olivia.. He laughed.

We had faced Arthur a few months ago in another case in which his client was suing ours..The owner of a website in which cheaters shared confidential videos with other cheating spouses...

"You're representing Mrs. Manley?" asked Beverly...

"Yes Mam." he said.

''Well your client can tell us where the boy is first...No need in using him as a pawn in all of this unpleasentness.." I said.

"Unpleasentness?? You don't know the half of it...Do you know what it was like being married to him?? Being in THAT family...It was like being married to him and his late father..DADDY made every decision affecting our lives...What school the boy went to...The nanny was his pick...I was second guessed on everything and when I went to my HUSBAND for support...He never supported me.." screamed Chase..

''YOU'RE A PATHOLOGICAL LIAR!!! YOU'RE UNFIT....I"VE GOT DOCUMENTS HERE TO PROVE IT....Bi-Polar, Manic depressive...Alcoholic!!"he said and tossed the files at her..

Olivia and Beverly and even Josie were astounded at the loudness and the vitriol being displayed in the office,the three of them were taken aback..

Attorney Arthur Trout managed to get some order..

"ENOUGH!!! Now let's everybody sit down and calm down and let's discuss this rationally..." he said.

"He's lying...His Father paid the Nanny..Who he hired in the first place..His Principal of his school and his home room teacher to say all of those things about me..None of that is true..Now he wants to take my son..Not on your life." said Chase..

''Chase...where is your son?" asked Olivia softly...

"I don't know...Ask him." she spat...

''You think I'd kidnap my own son? Are you crazy??"said Jason....

"One of you is lying...One of you knows something..Now before we can do anything..We need to know where the boy is.."said Beverly...

"I'm telling you...I don't know...I'm telling the truth..." she said and began to cry...

''Ohhh boy, here we go...The tears.." said Jason...

Beverly whispered in Olivia's ear...

''Auntay,I think we are representing the wrong client.."she said.

"Baby, you are soooooo right..."said Olivia..

After Jason had left...Olivia asked Chase to stay behind.....

 ''What did you want to talk to me about?  Considering you're his lawyer...Should I even be talking to you?" asked Chase.

"Chase ,I perfectly understand if you don't trust me...I-I just want to tell you that even though I am your husband's attorney...I am not out to do you in...This is between us...Woman to woman...Years ago, I represented your husband in a rape case...when he was in college...His Father was good friends with my then boss...I was working for a very prominent law firm then... I got your husband and his friend an acquittal, but his father's constant badgering and my ex-husband's womanizing caused me to have a miscarriage.." said Olivia..

''Oh My God! So you know Mr. Manley and what a bastard he was?" said Chase...

"I do...and frankly...I don't know why I'm representing your husband again...but I am...This time on my terms..My firm....and with no interference from his father...I will do everything I can to make this divorce as equitable and fair as possible...without hurting you...I-I-I just wanted you to know that...Woman to woman."said Olivia..

"Thank You Olivia and I am not Bi-polar or Manic depressive....His father paid people to say that I was...I can't prove it..but I swear I'm telling the truth and I didn't have anything to do with whoever kidnapped our son...I swear..."said Chase..

''I believe you and I promise you...I will do my best to see that you are not slandered and not hurt anymore than you already have been " said Olivia.

"Thank You Olivia.." said Chase....

I believed Chase too...The cop in me said to follow the money...Tomorrow..I was going to look into the Late Mr. Frank Manley's financials and see for myself if there was a money trail leading to these people..and possibly others...


V-

After they were all gone... It was just the three of us...I was fiddling with the Tablet..

"I got a partial plate and a make of that car....I'm going to give this to the FBI...Maybe they can find the two kidnappers and the boy..."I said.

"I don't think they've left the city..I could be wrong..but I just don't think so..."I said.

"I believe Chase...I don't think she kidnapped her own son...and I don't think Jason did either.."said Olivia.."Just something in me..."she said.

"You think Old Man Manley had a hand in this  huh? Me too Auntay..One last rotten thing he did before he met his maker..."said Beverly..

"If you're right..We may just come out of this thing with a peaceful conclusion yet." I said.

We had no idea that standing outside of our office was another country heard from...

Private Investigator, Eric Johnson...sat in his car and stared..

"Damn Olivia, you and Beverly still look good...Especially you Olivia...I see you finally started your law firm..You got married again too and to your Investigator...Hmmmph..Imagine that!...Nicee...Real Nice..Still dealing with that Manley kid too...what a waste of sperm...Damn Liv...Hasn't that family caused you enough grief?" he said to himself..
