Where There's A Will ,Maybe There's A Way

24 HOURS LATER-

In case you were wondering...We were enjoying San Juan the week were spending here in addition to the work...We were going to the bars and clubs and enjoying the nightlife...

and the girls were shopping, buying shoes and clothes...and site seeing during the day..

but make no mistake.. We were working...

We found a nice little Cantina , where we had the majority of our meals...

 Olivia was going over some legal briefs when I arrived...

 So was Beverly.....Neither of them was saying a word...

Nelson was reading the autopsy report...

I smiled..

"Damn...Why so glum people.. I've seen more life at the M.E.'s office..."I said and pinched Beverly, who broke the somberness and giggled and playfully swatted at me...

"Cut it out D.R." she giggled.

"You got any good news Donnie Ray....Any news at all?" asked Olivia..

I smiled....

"I love you...but that's not news.....I did a little digging and here's what I found....Troy Juan is no more Dominican that I am...His real name is Troy Johnson and he was born in Newark, New Jersey...His Mother is an African-American-woman and his father is Dominican...Educated in Newark Public Schools, did a year in New York City Community College, dropped out...Moved to Philadelphia and began modeling and appearing in local videos....Next stop, Los Angelas where he modeled , appeared in music videos and some straight to Cable and DVD D Movies.." I said.

Beverly and Nelson cracked up...

"D-Movies" they said..

I continued..

"I made some calls and did some more digging...He is telling the truth...He and Annalisa Phillips have been seeing each other off and on for close to two years , long before she got involved with either Neil or Darin...It's very,very possible they've been having a sexual relationship as long as he says....Thing is...It cooled off for about six months when she was in New York and Philadelphia and Paris with Neil and in that period Neil could have impregnated her...When she left Neil, she began dating Darin Walker, a slick Attorney who had been representing her and she moved in with him here in San Juan...She was still sneaking and seeing Troy Juan, just as she was doing the night she died.." I said.

"Missy was spreading herself thin..." said Olivia..

"She was spreading herself alright!" said Beverly...

''So Any one of these men could be the father..." said Nelson..

''Well I could certainly see why they all would legitimately think they were." I said.

"I called Darin Walker....I got no answer to my calls or my texts...Bev, Nelson and I went to his Villa and no one answered...There was no car outside either..." said Olivia..

"We have to call that Judge and have him order Darin to come forward and with that baby!" said Beverly...

"Way ahead of you." came a voice in the distance! Our food was just arriving!

II-

A shapely and attractive Latina woman with a purse walked toward us....She was Puerto Rican, but her lingo definitely sounded like she had either come from the States or spent some time there..

"You are Olivia Bennett-Alexander......I am Carmen Rodriguez- Attorney at law.." she said.

''Carmen Rodriguez....Carmen Rodriguez....Carmen Rodriguez....Ae you from Philadelphia by any chance?" asked Olivia.

"Born and Raised...You look familiar...Like one of my little sister's friends...Did you go to Girls High by any chance..?" she asked..

"Yes I did...Oh My God!   Are you? Is your sister, Detective Carlotta Rodriguez-Wallace?" asked Olivia..

At the mention of her sister's name, a gleam appeared in Carmen Rodriguez's eyes!

"Sure is...That is my baby sister..." said Carmen...

"We graduated together...From High School...I wasn't really close to her until later on in life...I was a Public Defender and she was a young detective...but I was friends with her friend, Sharon Ferrell..

We were in Law school together...She's with the FBI now.." said Olivia.

"Yes...I know Sharon...That was my sister's  shadow..Her partner in crime...They still work together.....Small World Mami" said Carmen...

It was a small world...I knew FBI Special Agent Sharon Ferrell when she worked in New Orleans.

Now married to a detective and living in Philadelphia...She was FBI Deputy Special Agent in charge -Philadelphia Region Sharon Ferrell-Hopkins.

"Please tell me you're not representing Darin Walker???..." asked Olivia..

"Noooooooooooooooo... Oh Nooooooooooooooooo..I represent Annalisa...Or rather I did represent her for a little while before she died...In the weeks before she died she seemed troubled, worried...She told me she didn't trust Darin completely, That's why she came to me..." said Carmen..

"So she was thinking about dropping him huh? Getting some new representation?" asked Olivia..

''Bahhh, all he was interested in was getting her in the bed and getting his hands on her fortune.. I cared about her...She partied a lot and stayed high...and she had the attention span of a four year old. I did talk her into socking a little of her money away...I even had her talk to a financial planner and I had her write a will....It was like pulling teeth...Aye caramba!! But she was sober and straight long enough for me to get that done." said Carmen..

Beverly laughed...

''Wow good for you!" she said.

"Carmen, My niece and fellow Attorney, Beverly West....She's my older brother's daughter...We are 9 years apart....I know, we look like we could be sisters.." said Olivia..

"You get that a lot huh?" said Carmen...

''YES!!"said Beverly...

"This is my husband...Donnie Ray Alexander, ex-Homicide Detective, now my investigator.." said Olivia.

I smiled.

"Pleased to meet you." I said.

''And this is my niece's significant other.. Attorney Nelson East..." said Olivia..

"Pleased to meet you.." said Nelson...

''So she has a will?" asked Olivia.

"Yes...It's all legal and signed by a Notary..I have a copy of it right here...I called Victoria's Secret and I talked to your friend, Dominic in Philly...He told me you all were down here and asked me to meet with you guys and share notes as a favor to him. She left half of her fortune to her mother back in Northern Jersey and the rest to her little girl, Tiffany upon her 18th birthday! There is some money  in trusted to the natural father.. " said Carmen...

''And who did she say it was?" asked Beverly...

"She didn't...She told me she didn't know...She said She had been sleeping with Neil Johanssen almost daily in Philadelphia...but when she came back to Puerto Rico, She was sleeping with Darin one night and sneaking off with Troy Johnson every now and then..." said Carmen..

I smiled..

''So you know who he really is too huh?" I laughed.

"I knew him from back home....I was a model while I was in Law School...I remembered him...He's older than he says he is too!" said Carmen..

I could believe she had been a model....So Had Olivia..

"So she doesn't name the natural father in the will?" I asked.

"No, she wasn't sure....I saw Troy on television claiming it was his baby....and I know Darin swears it's his...I wanted to get them together and do a DNA swab.....Troy has given us a Urine, Saliva and Blood sample...I have it in my office.." said Carmen..

''We have Neil Johanssen's DNA  samples..She told him he was the natural father before she came to Puerto Rico....She had a falling out with him and said she wasn't going to put his name on the birth certificate...So she knew...She was lying.." said Olivia...

" We couldn't find Darin Walker..or the baby...They may have skipped." said Beverly...

"He can't go too far.. He doesn't have much money...Only the money she gave him...Kind of like an allowance.. He hasn't tried a case or actually worked in two years...He lives off of his wealthy clients.. He has a few girls on the island he lives off of..." said Carmen..

"Give me their names and addresses...I'll find him." I said.

"I will but can we order? I am famished.." said Carmen..

"Works for me." said Nelson...

We ordered food and drinks and sat and socialized..

It was a pretty nice little joint as these places go.

III-

I cut Olivia, Beverly and Nelson loose ....I instead traveled through San Juan myself looking for Attorney Darin Walker...I visited quite a few of his lady friends.. They told me where to look for him.. Local watering holes..  It wasn't hard to find him surprisingly enough...He was drinking with two men at another Cantina...

"Well Attorney Walker...How nice to run into you again...I take it you got my call or my text at least?" I said.

He ignored me...He knocked down three fingers of Tequila...

I had left him three calls ,saying I needed to talk to him and a text message...All which went unanswered...

"If you don't mind...I'm drinking alone." he said to me... "Bartender, Tequila Port por vour.."he said.

"Oh I just want a few minutes of your time." I said..

One of the men he was drinking with turned to me..

"He said HE DRINKS ALONE!" he said forcefully to me...

I smiled and ignored him....

"Counselor...We have a will, written ,notorized and signed by Annalisa Phillips , which is with another Attorney who is representing her...She has Troy John's DNA samples and My wife and her niece has Neil Johannsen's DNA Sample...All we need is yours and the little girl's and we can clear this mess up.." I said.

"Not gonna happen." said Darin Walker...

A second man looked at me...

"I don't think you hear so well...He said HE DRINKS ALONE!" he said..

The first man said...

"I think we ought to improve his hearing..."said the other.

The first man slugged me in the stomach and the second man hit me in the jaw....I found myself leaving my feet and crashing into a wall...I saw Darin Walker smiling....almost laughing...A lot of people scattered...

I slid down into the street....People around began to scatter....

The first guy attempted to kick me, but I grabbed his foot and twisted it hard...

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmph.." he moaned and I pushed him backwards....

I then cracked the other man in his jaw and placed some nice lefts and rights in his face, knocking him backwards.. He attempted to swing, but I blocked it and landed some nice lefts and rights into his mid-section, forcing him to bend down in pain and another uppercut ,which nearly tore his head off that sent him falling to the ground...

Darin Walker paid for his drinks...

I turned around ,only to be clocked twice by the first man, who was limping....he had hit me so hard ,I was nearly seeing stars...He lunged...I blocked his punch and hit him hard in his stomach...I clocked him in his jaw just once and he joined his friend on the ground...Out like a light...

The crowd cheered....

A man passed me a finger of whiskey...

"For you Amigo...You really handled yourself with those men....I like a man who can handle himself..."he said.

I quaffed the whiskey down....and thanked my benefactor...The two goons were still sleeping it off in the street...People walked by both men and laughed...

Of course...Darin Walker was gone!!!  He had used our little brouhaha as an opportunity to take a powder and skip.......

It was near night...Another day wasted....I headed back to the Hotel...

Olivia was just coming out of the shower when I got back...

"Donnie Ray, what happened? You're hurt.." she said...

"Oh...I'm none too worse for the wear...I had a little scuffle with some very aggressive boys...They should be waking up about now.."I said and managed a smile...

"I take it you didn't find Darin Walker..?" she asked as she took a cold towel to my face...My  left eye was slightly swollen... "Sit down...let mama take care of you.." she said softly as she sat on my lap...

"Oh I did find him...I told him we have a will and that all we needed was his DNA and a swab of the little girl and we could clear this mess up...Needless to say...He was non-compliant as you and Bev would say and his playmates kept me busy while he skipped." I said..

"We can call the police...That's assault...We can charge him...We can sue him..." said Olivia.

"Slow your jets Livy....He at no time actually told them to attack me...Even though I think they had orders to do so,prior to my arrival..They appeared to be acting on their own..We could never prove anything...And those guys are probably in the hospital themselves right now..Sprained ankle...Broken nose...possibly a broken jaw..."I said..

"I'm so sorry Donnie Ray...I didn't mean for this to happen to you..." said Olivia..

"It's okay...It's what I get paid for!" I said..."That's why I didn't take you or Shortcake...I knew that where I was going was potentially dangerous.."I said..

''I don't pay you to get hurt.....You always look out for me and Bev...We both love you so much." said Olivia, who kissed me softly...

She was wearing a cute skirt and top....I removed the skirt and lifted up her top and sucked on her breast lightly....

"I believe youuuu, Ummmmmm...I feel sooo much better now.." I said...

"Ummmmmm, Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...I know you doo....ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh.." she moaned...

I lifted her up and laid her across the bed.....I took my clothes off slowly and then opened her bathrobe slowly and crawled into the bed...

"Damn, this is a big soft bed.." I said..

"It is..." laughed Olivia..

I quietly mounted her and entered her quietly...The bed was soft. and didn't squeak at all...

 ..."Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."
"Ohhh baby, give it to meeeeee....ummmmmmph..."she moaned...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....Olivia...Olivia ...ouuuuuuuuuu, more, more... ohhhhhh...You're nice and wet and soft..."I moaned.

"Ummmm Donnie Ray...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...ouuuuu...you can have as much as you want baby! .."she said..

"LAWDDD girl, what are you doing to meeeee?"

"Driving you out of your mind....Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.. lawwwwddd!!! Like you're doing to me.."

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh gooooddddddd lawdd it's soooo goood...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh  my god! Keep doin whatever you are doing...ummmmmmm"I moaned....

She laughed...

 Morrre...Morreee....morrre...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. Donnie Ray..ouuuuuu..Donnie Ray....OHHHHHHH."
she wailed...

"Ohhhh Olivia, Olivia,ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..I'm losin my minddddddddd!! "I moaned..

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...I love you soooooooooooooo much...ouuuuuuuuuuuu..Donnie Ray!"she said softly....

"I love you too babyyyyy...ohhhhh my godddddddddddd!" I hollered out! 

"I'm going to have to close that window.." laughed Olivia...

FIVE AND A HALF HOURS of good sweet lovemaking followed..

We couldn't get enough of each other.....

The bed really rocked...from side to side and up and down...

The headboard softly slammed against the wall...

We both came intensely and together....

"Ummmmmph , ouuuuuu   boy that was sooooo nice.."Ouuuuuuuuuuuuu.. said Olivia...

 "Ohhhhh yes baby!" I said...

"Ummmmmm...You're still hard...ouuuu, good and hard..ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" she said...softly rubbing me for a few minutes and then easing herself down on me again and moving up and down.

This went on for another hour and a half... 

"Morrre...Morreee....morrre...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. Donnie Ray..ouuuuuu..Donnie Ray....OHHHHHHH. Ouuuuuu I needed more...." she wailed... 

"Ohhhh Olivia, Olivia,ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..I'm losin my minddddddddd!! "I moaned.. 

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...I love you soooooooooooooo much...ouuuuuuuuuuuu..Donnie Ray! Thank you sooo much baby for makin mama feel sooo goood..."she said softly.... 

"I love you too babyyyyy...ohhhhh my godddddddddddd! You are quite welcome....lawwwwwd!" I hollered out! 

I softly exploded again... "Ummmmmmmmmmmmm.." I moaned.... '

'That's my guyyyyy..ouuuuuuuuuu that's my guy...Yesssssssssssss!" Olivia cooed softly.......as my body trembled.... Hers trembled too, tears just ran down her face like a gusher....She closed her eyes and then sighed....

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"

 "You feel better now? I know I do....WOW!   " she asked a little later...

"Oh much better." I said after a shower.....

"Let's go out..."I said.

"Out?  It's almost daybreak." said Olivia..

"I'm Hungry..." I said..

"After all of that screwing???.. You should be tired...Ohhhhh, you said you're hungry...I thought you said you were horny.... Okay...I'll go with you...Let me throw on a Sundress..." she said.

I laughed....

"I just thought about something...We don't need to swab the little girl....When she was born, they may have taken her DNA ...The records may be in the hospital..." I said.

"You know you may be right...That's brilliant...That's why I married you..."gushed Olivia..

"Well it's one reason..." I said slyly....

"Yesss...That too!" she said and smiled at me..

(CONCLUSION NEXT!)
