Social Studies

"Closing Time Kids" said the curator of the Law Library.....We had been studying from the time we got off work until midnight every night for the past week....




Me, Sofia, Bee Bee and Kahlil, finding and writing up every wrongful death predicate we could find, especially ones dealing with suicide and emotional torture..To our surprise there were a few cases...

It was kind of fun, kind of like a treasure hunt...This was what Ms. Yvette
called the not so glorious, down and dirty work that every successful attorney must do....The kind of work not seen on television or in the courthouse..But that pays off when you present it before a judge and jury.

''Everybody give me their food order...I'll drive over to Jakes and meet you back at the spot...Who's spot are we meeting at?" I asked..

 "Mine and Bee Bee's, we've got the larger place..."said Sofia..
"Yeah....and you guys can stay over if you want..."said Bee Bee...

''Cool...I'm Hungry and Sleepy." said Kahlil..

We were all too exhausted for sex tonight...So if we were staying, we were sleeping... It was so weird..Now that we were couples, we didn't feel the need to have sex every single time we spent the night with the girls..If we were exhausted..The four of us just slept...Tonight was one of those nights.

We had compiled a mountain worth of precedents for Ms. Yvette to use...

Within the hour, I returned with everybody's order from Jake's..

His Fantastic Grilled Hot dogs and Chips and a Grilled


Burger for myself...
and Cokes for everyone...


This kind of work was bearable because we were friends and we enjoyed hanging out with each other..

 "I can't believe we are doing all this work for this silly case...It makes no sense." I said.
 "Like Ms. Yvette said...Gwen O'day can't accept the fact that her brother killed himself and she has to find someone to blame...Someone to pay..."said Bee Bee.
 ''And who better than the woman who curved her brother for four years...?" said Kahlil...
"I can't believe an attorney as renowned as Charles Bartlett O'Hare is even taking on a case this weak."said Sofia..

Bee Bee smiled..

''Don't say it." I said.



She, Sofia and even Kahlil all blurted out- "WHOOO HOOO!"

We all laughed!






II-


TV Host B.L. Benz never to be out done had Gwen O'Day and her flamboyant  Attorney, Charles Bartlett Ohare on his show HARD BOTTOM

'So Gwen, your brother's horrific suicide at the Rivershark Stadium two weeks was ago was brought on by you say extreme emotional stress caused by one of our city's Assistant District Attorneys and you are suing her for wrongful death? Are you serious?" He asked..

"I'm Dead Serious B.L." said Gwen O'Day..

"I am Charles Bartlett O'Hare and Whoo Hooo, we have Whooo hoooo proof of said ADA having a Big Sexy Night with her late brother and leading him on to think that they had a future together. She's been doing this since they Cock A Doodle Doooooooooooooo met in law School...Wheee Heeeeee!" he said..

B.L. Benz looked perplexed..

At his local watering hole, Lt. Tragg was laughing his head off..

''He needs me...Look at that Wack adoo he has on his show...He's really desperate for ratings now...He'll book anybody..."laughed Lt. Tragg...

B.L. got his wish though...

The next week...Ms. Yvette, Ms. Jade, ADA Karen Page, Bee Bee, Myself, Sofia and Kahlil all appeared on his show for two nights to tell our side of the story...







We seemed to have a lot more credibility with our story than Gwen O'Day and Charles Bartlett O'Hare...

Public sentiment appeared to be on our side..and for B.L.  Ratings too...

In his watering hole, Lt. Tragg agreed..

''For once I'm siding with Yvette Jones and her young snot nose attorneys...I hope they beat the pants off of that Gwen O'day and her nutty Attorney...." he said,.. "Did you hear that guy? Making all those  weird noises..?" laughed Lt. Tragg..

"He's got a  degenerate brain dis order that makes him make those noises...He can't help it.."said Curly..

''Wow Curly..I'm impressed."said Lt. Tragg..

"I know some things Artie." said Curly.


III-

At the condo, the late Sean O'day had lived in... Jade Lee and Gary Lockwood, Investigator for the D.A.'s office  walked in...

 "Okay, this is definitely creepy..."said Ms. Jane..
''He's got photos of this girl on every wall in the place.." observed Gary...

"You got photos of Yvette all over your place." joked Ms. Jade...

"I do, but we are actually in a relationship..."said Gary..."And I'm actually crazy about her." admitted Gary.

"Awwwwwwwwwwwwww!  I'm just playing with you...Look....a phone..." said Jade...

Gary picked it up...He checked it for numbers...

"There is a California exchange in here...I recognize the Area code...I'm going to take this for further investigation..." he said..

'
''Receipt for that ring...and here are some old airline tickets....This guy kept everything.."said Jade..

''He clearly didn't entertain much.." noted Gary.

They both laughed.

IV-
The day before the trial we found ourselves at the law offices of our good friends, Olivia Bennett-Alexander and Beverly West...We had been there all morning...They were looking over our entire case and strategy for tomorrow's wrongful death hearing..

 "Thanks for seeing us Livy....I just needed fresh eyes to look over this argument and these predicates.." said Yvette..

"Vettie, we are only too glad to help you guys...By the way..we saw you on HARD BOTTOM the other night...You're becoming quite the star, I told you, you were next.."joked Olivia..

"He's very persuasive...His network is paying our closing legal fees and they will be filming the precedings… Did you know that B.L. is an Attorney?" laughed Yvette..


''Yeah....I googled him when he first came to us with that case.. He has an undergraduate degree in Communications /Journalism from Temple and he got his J.D. from Fordham University...He passed the bar in New York State and here in Pennsylvania.. I doubt he's ever tried a case in court though.. but he probably wants to....He may sometime in the future...For Ratings.." said Olivia, laughing..

 "As Silly as the entire idea of this case is...Our client is actually being sued for 100 Large for wrongful death and emotional cruelty.." said Bee Bee..
 "Normally we wouldn't be concerned but the Attorney representing her is Charles Bartlett O'Hare."said Sofia..
"From the looks on your faces, you have heard of him..."said Kahlil..


"He's a real charactor.." I said.


''Well you guys did an excellent job of gathering the right predicates and your argument looks stellar..."said Olivia.. "To Deal with this guy you can't leave anything to chance...He has some kind of Neurological condition that causes him to shout and make strange noises, but he uses that to his advantage...Behind that is a shrewd legal mind...Don't sleep on him..He's counting on it."said Olivia.

"We've thankfully never had to go up against him, but a friend of ours,

Arthur Trout did and he ate Arthur to pieces..

I was at that trial laughing at first when he did all of that "Whoooo Hoooo, Wheee Hee Hee..business...I thought ,this guy can't be for real...but guess what??...He won his case..He got the last laugh."said Beverly..
"Same here...I observed this guy in action too...He kept saying his name over and over..I am Charles Bartlet O'Hare...I laughed my ass off and then watched him eat my former colleagues, Robert Foxworth and Chance Howard Alive in court...."said Nelson...
"Well At least you guys are prepared for him and are taking him serious.."said Josie...
"Well since you guys are here...Here comes Alfreda with lunch....We knew you were coming, so we sent her to Jake's...."said Donnie Ray...

 "Hey Guys, sorry we took so long..This was a big order...and the line was out the door."said Alfreda , who was with her boyfriend, our one time adversary, ADA Rockland Cambridge..
''Hello Everybody." said Rockland..as he doled out
Grilled Burgers

 Grilled Hot Dogs and Chips
and Ice Cold Cokes...

We all were famished and as you can expect...We chowed down...
Meanwhile, Gary and Jade headed to Police headquarters...

"Danny said that they are already in contact with San Francisco P.D." said Jade..

"They've been waiting to hear this for four years....They may finally be able to close this murder case...It looks to me like Sean O'Day may have killed this woman's husband..."said Gary..

"If that is so...That changes the entire narrative of this case around.." said Jade...


(CONCLUSION NEXT)
