Life's Little Surprises

We began our defense...

 Olivia proved what an amazing storyteller she was... Looking at the jury and smiling in that charming way of hers , she spun a tale of a toxic work place led by Jewel Baxter, who had a grand design of the type of employee she wanted  and the type of office she wanted and anyone who bucked was offered an early retirement...If they refused, they were evaluated weekly, sometimes daily..with the results almost always being negative.. 13 people lost their jobs this way , 27 willingly took an early retirement and the rest of the 91 employees lived in fear of their jobs...

This climate she maintained , festered and grew a climate for murder...A murder any number of people could have committed..

Her niece Beverly

and husband Nelson marched 87 employees still working at the company up to the witness stand..

Witness after witness testified with no fear of reprisal now that Jewel Baxter was dead of the very toxic workplace that she and her lieutenant, Tamika Hastings had created...You could see the relief in their faces that these two were now dead..

They called 27 people additional people who had testified in Connor's wrongful termination suit..which was still being held up in litigation  about how they were offered an early retirement because they didn't fit the age ,look or general disposition of the employee that Jewel Hastings wanted...

Kyrie called up 13 people who had also been victims of this....and they identified people, some who we had called up who were part of a pipeline of snitches and informants who willingly gave Jewel information on other employees..

It was long and tedious ,I admit and it dragged on for about a week...

ADA Mcafferty screamed relevance...screamed that neither Jewel Baxter or Tamika Hastings were on trial, They were the murder victims...He said.. "This show trial the defense is putting on is taking the focus away from the real guilty party here..The defendant!" he said..

"Yes...Mrs. Bennett-Alexander..Where are you going with this?" asked the Judge..

 "Your honor we were trying to show the toxic workplace and environment created by the two murder victims that created the climate for their murders."said Olivia..

''A climate that could have created any number of suspects..." said Beverly..

"You've made your point quite eloquently ladies...We get it...Now Move on." said the Judge..

Try as he may...ADA McCafferty couldn't budge any of our witnesses who held up better than his witnesses had under us , nor had he been able to dig up any dirt on them to discredit them....

Josie and I kept copious notes and kept passing them to Liv, Bev, Nelson and Kyrie..

.

After two days we began attacking the so called evidence against our client..

 Nelson presented Credit card receipts and Debit card receipts, time stamped that clearly placed our client in Atlantic City on the night of the first murder...Tamika Hastings... There was no way he could have physically committed this murder.

His bank statements showed no transferring of any large sums of money to anyone.. His phone records were mundane...To friends and associates who did not work with him and family..

Regarding the second murder, which occurred three nights later, Kyrie had a receipt and store camera footage of our client in a Bodega , just an hour before the killing, which was 10  to 15 blocks away.. and street cam footage of him entering his apartment around the time the killing was said to have taken place... Meaning he couldn't have committed this murder physically either..

Josie and I passed more notes to a smiling  Olivia and Beverly..

Olivia argued the logic of why he would commit two murders with a supposedly stolen gun , with his fingerprints all over the gun and then leave the gun where police could conveniently find it... (In a trash can ,one block from Baxter's apartment complex..)

Beverly finally said that the gun had been stolen with the sole purpose of killing the two women and laying the blame on Connor Lewis, who like many employees and former employees had a legitimate beef with both women...

ADA McCafferty argued that this was all conjecture...

"I'm going to recess the court.. I'll see you all tomorrow "said The Judge...

In the hallway he stopped Kyrie...

"Ms. Austin , It is Ms. is it Not?" he said..

"Yes your honor..It's Ms."said Kyrie..wondering if this was yet another older man trying to make time with her..

"Judge Martika Anderson is some relation to you is she not?" he asked..

''She's my aunt...My mother is her older sister.." said Kyrie. now totally surprised.,but relieved!

"I know she's divorced....Uh is she seeing anyone? I uh couldn't help but notice her in the court the past  few days...I figured she came to see you practice..." he said..

"You like my auntie? Don't You???" asked Kyrie , smiling...

"The woman fascinates me....I-I can't take my eyes off of her when she is in the courtroom and I can barely concentrate.....I'd love to meet her and take her out on a date.." he surprisingly admitted..

"WOWWW!!!! Well....I uh don't think she's dating anybody seriously and I will mention that you asked about her.."said Kyrie, smiling...

''Would you? Thank you.."He said..   "By the way....You guys are doing a stellar job in there...I like attorneys who are prepared...You guys are well prepared.." he said as he walked off.

"Thank you, your honor.."said Kyrie..
II-

U.S. Attorney Tony Richardson sat in the courtroom that day also...

Judge Martika Anderson sat two rows in front of him....She didn't look his way...

The Judge in our case kept staring at her and smiling...

She noticed him and she smiled back....She didn't know him, but he was handsome...She looked closely at his hands...Good!  There was no wedding band....

She googled him...

He had googled her when he saw her the other Day..

Her Father, the Late Judge Martin Anderson.

Tony Richardson couldn't seem to get her attention...She was engrossed in whatever information she was gleening from her tablet.

The Judge had her attention...

It was as if Tony Richardson wasn't even there...

 "Auntay...Did you see Judge Lennon? He couldn't take his eyes off of Ms. Martika..He kept looking at her and smiling..." said Beverly..

 "I noticed...She was smiling at him too!" said Olivia...

"That could work out well for us...I wonder if he knows her niece is trying this case?" asked Josie.

"He knows...He's asked me if that was my aunt and if she was seeing anybody..He would like to take her out on a date."laughed Kyrie...

"Guys we are doing a good job...The jury is 11 to acquit, one undecided right now ,the way I'm reading them." said Nelson..

"It's time to pull out all the stops." I said.

 ADA McCafferty was furious... He glared at Lt. Tragg

''What is it with you and your lazy ,shoddy police work? They've taken apart every witness you brought forth and discredited them...Didn't you check? Of course not...And they're just pulling witnesses out of the woodworks...Didn't you talk to any of the people at their job?  Nooooo, why would I think that?" he said..

"Look....You've got a murder weapon...It is registered to him and his fingerprints are all over it...No way Olivia and Beverly can fight that!  We got this guy...He had motive...He shot both of those dames!"said Lt. Tragg..

"No he didn't...Have you been listening to the testimony at all?? I've got to drop the charges for Tamika Hastings.....He was in Atlantic City...They proved it!!...Now the only other one I can try him on is Jewel Baxter...who he has a flimsy alibi on....but if the jury thinks he didn't do one...They're inclined to believe he didn't do the other.....You left so many avenues open...Arghhhhhh!" said ADA McCafferty...

"Relax, they got nothing.." said Lt. Tragg..

III-

Judge Lennon called all of the Attorneys to the bench..

''Approach. In lieu of the evidence you and your team provided Mrs. Alexander,We are dropping murder charges against your client for Tamika Hastings." he said.

 "Thank You your honor."said Olivia..

 "What about Jewel Baxter??...If he didn't kill one...He didn't kill the other."said Beverly..

 "Yes...I would think so."said Nelson..

 Kyrie said nothing..

"Noooo..His alibi for Jewel Baxter is flimsy at best....The charge for her stands.."said ADA McCafferty...but he already knew where this was going..He already knew they were right!

Barney Ales , a burglar was called up next...He had been arrested earlier for a string of burglaries and his stolen good were retrieved from several pawn shops and returned to the owners..He was facing 25 years in prison unless he testified in this case..He didn't want Accessory to murder added to his record..

He testified that Lawrence Tepper, a former employee had fingered our client's house and told him to get him the gun, allowing him to keep $800.00 and some jewelry he stole...

McCafferty brought up his lengthy criminal history and admonished the jury not to believe a word he said.

Josie and I passed Kyrie our notes...

It was her turn to shine...She and Nelson blistered Lawrence Tepper with questions about his job, his relationship with murder victim Tamika Hastings...His feelings of betrayal by her and his hatred for Jewel Baxter, who insisted that Tamika break the relationship up and who later assisted in getting him terminated...

He denied knowing Barney Ales and said he never had Connor's gun in his possession...

Beverly produced the gun....She brought up that he owned one just like it and was a marksman, according to his last trip to the range..

ADA McCafferty asked for relevance..

Aunt Olivia came to the rescue...She asked Lawrence Tepper where he was on the night of both murders...He said he was at the movies the night Tamika Hastings was killed..

Olivia asked him what he went to see...and what movie theatre did he attend..

He said he couldn't remember...The Jurors groaned... He said he paid in cash...The Jurors groaned and looked at him side eyed..

She asked him where he was the night of the second murder...He said he was at the Bar..Josies..or possibly Aqua Bar or Stoleys...He wasn't sure.

Beverly showed footage from Josie's , Aqua Bar and Stoleys….He was not on the footage...

Nelson pulled out a credit card receipt..

"This is from a gas station....two blocks from where Jewel Hastings was shot...just ten minutes after she was shot...and this photo is of you in a tan drop top sedan...Same type of sedan three witnesses say was seen racing from the scene...Try again.." he said..

The Jurors groaned and shook their heads...

Lawrence Tepper refused to say anymore... He didn't have to....

It took the jury a half an hour to come back with the verdict...

Count One, Murder in the First Degree, Jewell Baxter....NOT GUILTY!

Since the other murder charge had been dropped...

Connor was a free man...He surprisingly took Kyrie in his arms...

He kissed Kyrie in the lips...

"I've been wanting to do that since the first day I met you...Thank you baby.." he said..

The kiss lasted a little longer than it should have and Kyrie returned his passion...We were stunned...

Had something been going on between these two we didn't know about behind the scenes?

"Ummmm that kiss felt nice...You are quite welcome.." she said smiling and blushing...out of breath

''And thank the rest of you too.."said Connor..

"You're welcome.."said Beverly, smiling at Kyrie...

''Yes...You're welcome Connor.."said Josie , also smiling at Kyrie...

''Wellll, this is a surprise.."said Nelson.

"Life is full of them.."said Olivia, philosophically...

"Indeed" I said.

 Judge Lennon was tickled pink....He couldn't stop giggling as he talked to Martika

She was giggling like a school girl and blushing...

The two were talking so animatedly, it was if none of us existed...He had her hemmed up in a corner near his chambers and had her rapt attention.....

Watching the whole thing was U.S. Attorney Tony Richardson, who was furious..He stomped his foot and stormed out..Wading through the reporters....Seeing Kyrie kiss her client passionately like that drove him mad...and even though he didn't want to admit it..Seeing Martika talking animatedly to the judge in the trial made him more than a little jealous..

A Throng of reporters was letting Lt. Tragg have it..

"Arrested the wrong man again huh Artie?" asked one..

"You know..You haven't been on Hard Bottom in awhile...B.L. ought to have you on Wrongly Convicted." said another one..

"No, How bout Wrongly arrested.." said another one..

They all guffawed with laughter...

"THAT'S IT LOU!!!....YOU ASKED FOR IT!!! YOUUU  GOT IT!" said Lt. Tragg as fists flew and the table was knocked over and people fell to the ground..Another Courthouse melee.

Judge Lennon was oblivious to all of that...He was staring at Martika..

"You know, that dress fits you really well...It shows off all of your beautiful curves.." he whispered.

"A lot of guys like this dress for some reason....You're no different....Thank you for the compliment." she whispered back to him as they stared deeply into each other's eyes...

and soon surprisingly  started kissing passionately....They walked to his chambers and closed the door! LOCKED IT!!

And Kyrie and her client, Connor

who were standing ,not too far from them, off to the side, were kissing passionately too..

as for the rest of us..

 "Come on...Let's go out the side door.." I said ,grabbing Olivia's hand..

''Where you go I will follow. husband"said Olivia..

"Follow Donnie Ray.."said Nelson..

 ''You don't have to tell me twice."said Beverly...

"Me neither."said Josie as the five of us exited out the side door into the driveway..

EPILOUGE-

Kyrie initiated a class action suit on behalf of Connor and his 13 co-workers who were wrongfully terminated...She won them all one million dollars a piece in damages....

Her aunt was  in court the day she won beaming with pride...

"My little niecy poo is coming along just fine." she said..

 Kyrie and Connor celebrated in a hotel...

spending the afternoon making sweet love...Guilt free , sweet love...Connor was four years older than her and he was not married...Making him perfect...He was a good lover too!

Judge Lennon and Judge Martika Anderson were more than just tickled pink with each other...

They wound up making sweet guilt free love every chance they got... In his chambers after a case, at her home, at his home...In her office....In his SUV....In the restroom  at the wine bar...

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMPH!" he moaned..

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu….ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Ouuuuuuuuuuuweeeeeeeeeeee.."moaned Martika.

Turns out  U.S. Attorney Tony Richardson wasn't the only man who could make her toes curl in the bed...

And back at our place...Olivia and I were relaxing...

She was wearing white form fitting bell bottoms and a denim blouse with no bra..

"Isn't this nice Donnie Ray? Nelson and Beverly

 are out,

Josie's gone for the day, and I gave

Alfreda  the rest of the day off.. I know Rockland is happy...." said Olivia..

I kept staring at her...

"Verrrrrrrrrry nice...."I said, smiling sheepishly...

"If you stare at me any harder...your eyeballs are going to fall out.."laughed Olivia..

"You're not wearing a bra..."I whispered..

"Does that turn you on?" she asked..

''Well uh..."I said..

Olivia walked towards me...

"I take that as a yes.." she whispered...

Giving me the slowest , softest kiss ever and softly rubbing the crotch area of my trousers...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu that is a YES!" she smiled and giggled..


Olivia laughed at how fast I was getting out of my clothing...

"Oh My...Ouuuu  Donnie Ray..... Look at youuuuuu, ouuuuuuu, you have been missin mama.." she said..

I was fully erect and hard...It had been a few nights...

 She smelled like a new born baby and had skin as soft as one...She kissed me slowly,softly.....

''Calm down..Calm down...It's all good.."she said..

"Yes..Yes it is.."I said.

My boxers stood out like a tent and she smiled...

"Oh my goodness...Look at youuuuu!...." she said...

"I guess you can uh tell I'm a little excited" I said.

"Most definitely.....Wowzers..wouuuuuu, look at you.Ohhh myyyy..More than just a little" she said holding her hand over her mouth and laughing.....

I had a raging erection that I had successfully hidden up until now...She smiled at me...I pulled her to me and began kissing her passionately... She stroked it gently and smiled at me...

"Ummmmm come here." she said softly....

.

She fondled me softly and gently,which was driving me crazy...I licked and sucked her breasts...Which was doing the same to her...But she didn't say a word...She opened her mouth a little, but no sounds came out..


"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Mister Alexanderrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..............ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my goodnesss.........ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.."she moaned....

"Damn girl...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh." I moaned myself..

She took off her jean jacket... and slipped her slacks off, She wasn't wearing any panties either....

 I straddled Olivia on the bed... , We continued kissing...laughing ,silently....She kissed my neck, my chest, my cheeks and finally my lips...I kissed her breasts and her neck...finally, I was entering her luscious body....

"Oh My God....Oh my goddddddddddddd.."I moaned....

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Mister Alexanderrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..............ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my goodnesss.........ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.."she moaned....

Moving in and out slowly....Olivia moved up and down slowly....We both wanted to cry out..but we couldn't...

"Oh My God....Oh my goddddddddddddd.."I moaned....

Olivia laughed......

The bed squeaked a little bit , we smiled at each other......She began licking my neck and sucking on it,which made me begin moving deeper and deeper into her warm and wet lusciousness.......

She kept moving up and down and then from side to side...The bed was rocking and slamming against the wall...We slowed down a bit...She looked like she was climaxing...I slowed down immensely and moved in a little harder.....She let out a soft  whisper...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...Yesssss..Mister Alexander....Ohhhhh"she moaned...

''Yes...yessssssssssssssss...ouuu, " I moaned..

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh .....ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my god...ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu."she cried out!

The bed squeaked a little bit more ,but nowhere near like our old one...

"Mrs. Alexander...You are one naughty girl...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.."I moaned..

"Naughty is sexy!"said Olivia.

"No argument there Mrs. Alexander....ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..." I said.

 We kept on at it for THREE TO FOUR HOURS..We couldn't seem to get enough of each other..We managed to climax together, holding each other tightly for dear life...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Mr. Alexander...ouuuuuuuu that was soooo nice." said Olivia in between wet sloppy kisses...

"Yes lord....Yesss lord Mrs. Alexander...."I said.

She giggled and ran her index finger across my lips...

"Oh My God Donnie Ray, that was awesome..Whoooooo."whispered Olivia..Her legs were shaking...She was climaxing hard....

"Ohhhhh my lord!" she moaned....

I listened...I heard nothing....I smiled... We started kissing again...She fondled me softly some more...I was going bananas.....I not surprisingly felt myself getting hard again...and began to move slowly inside and out of her....once again!!! An HOUR AND A HALF WENT BY...

more kissing, more sweet lovemaking..another hour...

"Ohhhh my......you are something else Mister Alexander!!!.....Oh  My goodness...ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"laughed Olivia...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...."was all I could manage to say...

I entered her and begin to thrust inside of her deeply. I tried to catch my breath, Olivia wrapped her legs around me and her arms around my neck as if I was falling off a cliff.

"Ouuuuu Mister Alexander....ohhh my goodness..wooooooooooo.."she moaned..laughing and turning her head from side to side....

"Awwwwww lawddddd!" I moaned myself....

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Donnie Ray....my lord..ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...." she moaned...

"Girl, what are you doing to me?" I asked...I was losing my mind...

Olivia laughed and kissed me slower,softer....

"Nothin.....Just trying to make you feel goooooooooooooooood as usual...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..I know you've missed this for a few nights..." she cooed.

"Well...you're doing a good job...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..damn good job!!I almost exploded last night just looking at you...while you were asleep...but I know you needed your sleep working on this  big case..."I moaned...

"Glad you like it baby!I'm glad you didn't explode last night as you say..These are brand new sheets, now let me work on this big case ...ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm yessssssss!" she said...

It was my turn to laugh as we continued kissing and making sweet love...

"Mrs. Alexander...I love ittttt.."I said...

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..ouuuuuuuuuuuuuu..Yesssssssssssss...I love it tooo..ohhhhhhhh stop showing off....Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.."she cried out..

We quickly got into a nice deliberate rhythm.. I just wanted to go hard and fast, but she slowed us down. I could barely stand it.It felt so good...


"Take your time sweetie...Take your timeeeeeeeee....Mama isn't going anywhereeeee.." she cooed...

"Ohhhhhhhhh.." was all I could mutter...... The sound of her voice got me even more excited.....

I slowed it way down with deep, long strokes that made me feel like I was losing my mind...She kissed me softly and blew into my ears...

 Olivia began to shake and gyrate and  more tears began to stream down her face....

"Ouuuuuuuuu,Oh my goodness Donnie Ray , you really don't get enough...ouuuuuuuuu weeeeeee...do youuu?" she asked as I began stroking her again....I had not...

I said nothing....I just went about my business...Another TWO HOURS AND A HALF went by..I was so glad we could sleep late and didn't have to be anywhere tomorrow.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh goood lawd!" she moaned...

  She felt as though she was climaxing several times....then in a huge wave...she whispered in my ear...

''Oh My god...I'm cumming.....ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. You are outdoing yourself..ouuuuuu,ohhhhhh.." she softly cooed... , which made me climax myself..exploding literally and shaking  mightily...I put my hand over her mouth...both of her legs kept shaking...her head kept turning from side to side...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu ...ohhhhhhh my God....ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..I love you so much....." she moaned silently...

"I love you too baby."I moaned and came so hard,it scared me...

I again collapsed on top of Olivia...I lie there on top of her for a moment, then finally ,I pulled out and lie on my back...breathing heavily...She lie still...

"Wow! Everytime we miss a few days....I know you're going to put it on me sooo good." she said....

 "WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!" she yelled...Her legs were  still shaking and sweat was running down her face....

Finally she stopped shaking and had the sweetest and at the same time most devilish look on her face I'd ever seen...

She crawled on top of me and began deep throat kissing me...Wet and sloppily....and eased her self down on my still rock hard and wet penis...

"Time for one more ride...Ouuuuuuuuuuuuu, you are still so hard..." she giggled...

and began moving up and down...up and down....I was going crazy...Olivia was so soft, so warm...so moist...and feeling all of these sensations...Within another HOUR I came so intensely....so hard...that I practically passed out...and the last thing I remember was Olivia, climaxing and laughing....

 ''What's so funny?" I asked.

"The faces you make when you're about to....you know...cum!" she said.

I leaned up and kissed her passionately...We continued kissing until we

were making sweet love again....

"Ummmmm I can't believe you ." she said..

'We've got all afternoon." I said..

"True.." she said,laughing...

Best way to end a case...

Unknown to us...U.S. Attorney Tony Richardson stood outside our duplex...drinking a domestic beer..

He could hear Olivia and I making love....He gathered that Beverly, Nelson, Josie and Alfreda were gone...

"That damn Donnie Ray....I can't blame him....such a lucky guy." he mused and smiled.

He also gathered that Kyrie was no longer staying with us...He had no idea where she was...Or her Aunt..

He figured he had overstayed his welcome in Philadelphia...Time to go back to D.C..

It began to rain.....He walked over to his rental car across the street and got in and drove away...
