Who's Ya Daddy?



48 HOURS LATER-

It took some time...but my wife and Beverly and I showed up at a court hearing in San Juan for Dominican Model, Troy Juan , who was being held as a "Person Of Interest" in the death of Victoria's Secret model Annalisa Phillips...

Her death was all over the media....Everyone was talking about it and speculating...



Olivia ,Beverly and I argued for his release.....based on the fact that it was over 24 hours and he hadn't been formally charged with anything...Something that would have never happened on the main land...

He had no prior record....In Lieu of that...He was released....

The Press was all over it..They took photos of the four of us walking out of the court room with him..


We noticed another man...Well dressed , but kind of scruffy addressing the throng of media people...It was Attorney, Darin Walker....
"I don't understand how this loser attracted the attention of such highly esteemed attorneys as Olivia Bennett-Alexander and her niece , Beverly West...but the word in a lot of legal circles is that they go out of their way to attract big headline grabbing cases to increase their public profile... I suppose it works to their favor!" he said laughing and fielding more questions...


He turned and found Olivia standing behind him....

"You can't imagine what people say about YOU in legal circles Mr. Walker..." she said.


Nelson walked up to her...He passed her a report...An Autopsy report....


He had been at the Medical Examiner's Office this morning....


Olivia read it....Then Beverly read it..

She looked at Olivia , who nodded...She passed it to Darin Walker....

"My client would have been released anyhow....Ms. Phillips was not murdered....She died of an apparent overdose of  alkyl nitrites and Fentynol....You know what  alkyl nitrites are don't you Mr. Walker?" asked Olivia sarcastically...

"I know what they are..." he said sarcastically....

On the street they're called "Poppers"  Poppers is a slang term given broadly to the chemical class called alkyl nitrites, that are inhaled for recreational purposes. Their primary recreational uses are as club drugs and as part of sexual encounters...Mixing that with Fenytol was not wise...Her poor heart simply gave out at the height of sexual excitement for her.
"He gave them to her..." said Darin Walker..."That makes him liable for her death..." he snapped..

"I'm afraid not....They didn't hook up until 9:00 pm that night....Troy Juan was at a photo shoot....We have witnesses and film footage... Annalisa was at a club where she scored both the poppers and the fentynol from persons unknown...She made three calls...One was to you...Probably lying, saying she had to work late....Then another to Troy telling him where to hook up and then one to the same hotel ironically that we are staying at...booking a room...." I said...

He looked at the documents I showed him and then looked at me like he wanted to kill me..

"What are you??  A Cop?" he asked...

"No...but I used to be one...A Homicide Detective..."I said.
"You're her investigator....Her Husband!!" he said.

"Glad you keep up with my life..." said Olivia...

"So you just happen to be down here on vacation and in the same hotel as my girl and this cheap punk and just happen to represent him eh?" said Darin Walker..
"Actually, we are not here on vacation and we didn't know she and Troy were in our hotel...We actually came to see YOU!" said Beverly...

"See me about what?" he asked incredulously...

"A little girl...She's almost one years old...Annalisa's daughter...Tiffany Phillips...You claim she's your daughter....We are working for someone who claims that's not true..."said Olivia..

"He's full of crap.. He's jealous and he's trying to get his hands on her fortune..." said Darin Walker..

"That's funny...He said the same thing about you.." said Beverly...

"Look, that's my daughter....And that's all there is to it..." said Darin Walker..


''Well we brought his DNA sample with us...All we need is yours and a swab of the little girl's mouth and we can put all of this to rest....If you are the biological father...We are out of your hair.." said Olivia.

"Oh you're out of my hair if I say you are...None of you are getting anywhere near my daughter..." said Darin Walker...

"If there is a will...It's going to be contested and we can get a court order to make you comply...You know that.." said Beverly...

"Look my girl ,my fiancé, the love of my life is dead, I'll not be bullied by your scandalous accusations.." he said.

"Aw knock it off man...Your Girl?? She was found naked in another guys hotel room...And she went there on her own...If she was YOUR GIRL, she sure didn't act like it 48 hours ago." said Nelson...

"WHY YOUUU!" he said lunging angrily at Nelson.... I stepped in between them...

"Settle Down...Settle Down....We'll see you in court...." I said.




Olivia, Beverly, Myself and Nelson were photographed as we walked down the courtroom steps...Our client...Troy Juan   didn't even thank us for springing him.. He had long gone...

II-
In Philadelphia, in a Tony Bar...Attorney Elwood Barnes...Olivia's ex husband sat staring at us on the television screen...
He turned to the man sitting next to him...

"That's my ex-wife..." he said proudly...

He looked at Olivia..


"Her? ,Olivia Bennett-Alexander...??? You were married to her..?" he asked..

"Yes...Back before she was famous...Back when she was just a Public Defender..."said Elwood...

He ordered six more fingers of Whiskey...

The man was skeptical...but he looked at Elwood and said..

"She was a Public Defender, here in Philly...Her and her niece....I remember reading that....Wow! She's come a long way from those days...She's got her own firm now and defending some real heavy hitters.. Her and the niece and her new husband are always in the news..Wow man, you shoulda hung on to her...You had no idea she was going to be this famous huh?" he said.

"No...I didn't...That could be me and her in that news conference...Me and her...I'd of talked her into sending the niece packing....That coulda been me and her!" cried Elwood..

The man looked at the bartender, who shrugged....

Elwood broke into tears as he ordered and downed six more fingers of whiskey...

"Damn, I screwed up!...Damnnnnn!" he kept saying through tears......

He was drinking almost every night after work now....He couldn't come in Josie's, Aqua Bar, Stoleys or the Mermaid club anymore until he straightened himself out...He was making it to work just barely and still functioning as an Attorney....but at nights he was drinking and drinking heavily....People who knew him had never seen him like this before...He wasn't even picking up or hitting on women anymore...He seemed to no longer have a taste for it...

He had Slept with Tamika Carson , a few weeks ago when he was in New York and although the sex was hot and off the chain...He left feeling emotionally empty and flat...Something he had never felt before..Because usually he didn't have any emotion attached to his sexual partner...He'd sent her a friend request on Facebook weeks ago,He hadn't heard from her or gotten a response.. He even called her...The number was disconnected!! He was done with Tamika Carson.

"If I hadn't been such a fool ..that would be me and her in Puerto Rico fielding questions...What a team we would be..Me as the Lead Attorney and Liv backing me up....No Beverly...She'd of never of met Donnie Ray..." he said, tears and sweat just running down his face...

"Buddy, take it easy...Take it easy..." said the man..

but Elwood was lost....Lost in his own guilt and regret....He didn't know what he regretted most...Messing up with Olivia or Messing up with Zoey Easter...Both women had moved on...Olivia had started her own firm, partnered with her niece and had gotten remarried...








and Zoey was seeing another man...An Attorney named Lem Anderson....

How he hated him...He hated him because he had Zoey and he ,Elwood should be sharing her bed.. Not some young gun Attorney..Lem was tasting her butter soft kisses, probably making love to her , feeling her soft skin, her warm, moist center,probably losing his damn mind everytime she brought him to climax....just like he himself did ,during their brief fling in Ocean City....

He didn't know where Zoey was living now of days....She wasn't in her 12 Step Program and no longer went to her gym....He staked out the young Attorney's loft, but never saw her there...Rarely saw him...

He caught a glimpse of her going to work once or twice....but he kept his distance...

The bartender called Elwood a cab....Three men helped him in the cab and watched as it pulled off..

This was becoming a thing with him now, being put into a cab and sent home and having to come back for his car the next morning.

III-

Meanwhile in San Juan...

The four of us rode back to our hotel in a car I rented...
This car was a classic Thunderbird...It was old, but it was good on gas and cheap..

"D.R. this car is the coolest....Old, but cool....Just wish it had some A.C. "laughed Beverly, who was sitting in the back seat with Nelson...


"This car got a radio?" asked Nelson....

''Aww you got jokes today.." I said laughing as I drove through the streets.." I turned the radio on...but all of the language was in Spanish...

Olivia smiled...She at least understood the language...In addition to being an Attorney, both she and Beverly spoke fluent Spanish and French...

I was both in awe and envious of my girls...as I called them...

We drove through the streets...The humid air was blowing into our faces...We couldn't wait to get back to our air conditioned rooms...



IV-
Back in our room, I watched and listened as my wife spoke in both English and Spanish to several people on her phone as she lie across the bed in a T shirt and panties..

"Please tell me you weren't talking to judges?" I asked..

"Well, you and Bev went to the trouble to find them for me...I might as well call them...I found two willing to give us a hearing as soon as tomorrow.." said Olivia..

"Really?" I said.

"Yes and one speaks English...That's the one I'm going with...We'll order a paternity test.....And if there is a will, We'll contest anything coming to the little girl going to Darin Walker..." said Olivia...

"If he's not the father...He doesn't have a leg to stand on.." I said.

''Correct! He's not her husband, so he may wind up with nothing..." said Olivia..

"He'll have to work for a living..." I laughed...

''Exactly..." laughed Olivia..

"Mmmmm you are such a brilliant attorney ." I said pulling her to me and kissing her passionately...

"I have such a great staff, one of the best investigators in the world and a great attorney in the making for a niece.." said Olivia...

"Mmmmm, ouuu Donnie Ray....Ouuuuu.. and a sexy husband." she moaned..

"I got a sexy wife.....who's driving me crazy.." I whispered...

Olivia rubbed her index finger across my lip and laughed as we continued kissing...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.." she cooed..

"Lawdddddddddddd!" I moaned..

Just then there was a knock on the door...

We stopped kissing...I sat down at the table...Had to calm myself down......

 It was Beverly....

''Auntay...I'm sorry to bother you and D.R....but cue up the news on your Computer..." she said.

There on the front page of MSN News and CNN News was a photo of our former client, Troy Juan talking to reporters....

"I am thankful for Olivia Bennett-Alexander and Beverly West getting me out of jail.....No they are not my attorneys of record...I have an Attorney......Yes..the little girl is not Darin Walker's daughter...THAT IS MY DAUGHTER!!   I've been seeing Annalisa sexually for two years....in secret...and we had a lot of sex...A lot of sex......Let me tell you...In New York, Paris, Los Angelas, Miami ,Philadelphia and here....I'm certain that's my baby!   And I'm entitled to whatever is left over for the baby!  I intend to leave a DNA sample and test it against the child's DNA...We haven't been able to contact Mr. Walker though!" he said.

"YOU HAVE GOT TO KIDDING!" I said, now , no longer aroused...but angry!!!

"I wish I was kidding Donnie Ray....We got a problem!" said Beverly....

Olivia sighed....

"Damn it!" she said..

What A mEss...I think the Dominican dude is the Father!

Vanessa said...

The Father is Olivia and beverly's client in Philadelphia..She told him she was taking his name off of the birth certificate if he didn't straighten up and get a good paying gig! She lied when she said she didn't know!

Brenda said...

I agree with Vanessa, She knew who the father was when she returned to Puerto Rico...Why she lied to Carmen about it is beyond me..

Rita said...

A DNA Swab will settle the whole thing...Liv and Bev have their client's DNA...At best they can rule him out or Rule him in! Maybe the Dominican guy too!
