Curly's Bar was the most stylish cop bar I had ever been in...Very upscale...owned by "Curly" Nelson, a retired Homicide Detective... A lot of the clientele was Attorneys, Cops, retired and active and just regular neighborhood people...
I had been here only once before...This was my second time...Today...I was the guest of an Assistant District Attorney..Karen Page..I barely knew her...So I was surprised that she had called and asked me to meet her here..
I saw her from a distance...She motioned for me to come over and sit with her..
''Hello Kevin...I'm Assistant District Attorney Karen Page..." she said and shook my hand..
"Hi....I'm Kevin Morris, but of course you uh know that.."I said. She was a petite and pretty blonde with shapely legs...the same age as me...
"Two of my very dear friends recommended you highly...which is why I called you here ." she said.
"You wanted to meet with me in private...Are you hiring me?" I asked.
"I am..."she said.
"Who are these two friends?" I asked..
Just then, Lieutenant Tragg walked in....
"Oh God....I've got to find another bar to hang out in.." she sighed..
I saw him from a distance...He was headed our way....
"I can suggest a few..." I said and smiled..
"Karen...Is he bothering you?" he asked..
''Why would you think that?" asked Karen..
"Does your wife know you're here Morris?" he snarled...
"She does." I said..
"No Arthur, you can't join us....Those two seats are reserved..." said Karen..
"Reserved?" asked Lt. Tragg incredulously...
"Yes! For Us! Hi Karen, Hi Kevin, Hello Lieutenant!"came the honey sweet voice of Attorney Olivia Bennett-Alexander
"Hi Karen! Hi Kevin, Hello Lieutenant!" came the voice of Attorney Yvette Jones...
They both sat down with us...
I kissed them both on the cheek...I was actually relieved to see them and glad Lt. Tragg wouldn't be joining us....I really didn't feel like sparring with him today.
Beer and Hot wings arrived for the table and
Citris Martini's arrived for all three women...
Lt. Tragg looked perturbed that he couldn't sit with ADA Karen Page... He found a table, two tables away and sat by himself ,staring at our table the entire time..He was furious that I held the attention of the three lovely ladies.
"These are the two friends who recommended you highly...Olivia and Yvette..." said Karen..
"Kevin worked on two cases for me shortly before my Niece and I
began my law firm
and I hired my husband, Donnie Ray to do my investigating.."said Olivia.
''And Kevin has helped me and my attorneys
out from time to time,
pinch hitting for Jade..He's the best..."said Yvette..
I loved Yvette's modern building and their incredible cafeteria..
"He's the only investigator my cousin
Kayla uses.."said Olivia..
"There you have it...my two dearest friends from Law School...If they recommend you...You're aces with me.." said Karen...
''So what is this about?"I asked. I was already tangled up investigating Leslie McKenzie...I really didn't want to get tied up in anything else right now..
"LESLIE MCKENZIE....I believe you are already working on her...A day before he died..A young man named Trevor Wilson came to me with a fantastic story about how a casual conversation with her led to her starting a go fund me...Two Go fund me's...One on Facebook and one on Twitter..He told me how she has amassed a near fortune...and doesn't have cancer....He told me he was going to you to get you to look into it further...I did a little digging myself..Let's compare notes...He's dead now..Murdered...You should be able to talk about it." she said.
"Here is what I know...She was born and raised in Philadelphia PA. Leslie Allison. We were the same age...She attended and graduated from North Catholic High School..She attended Community College, graduated with an Associates Degree in Liberal Arts....
That was it..Arrested for Pandering, Charges suspended...Arrested for Soliciting, Charges suspended,
Arrested for possession with intent to distribute, controlled substance...Charge dropped to a misdemeanor, served six months in Women's Detention Center, released..Time Served..
Worked at the Acme Meat Packing Company....Three years, fired for habitual lateness, Worked at the Cocoa Cola Bottling Company, Three and a half years...left, worked as a Court stenographer, Fired for abandonment of job...Worked as a waitress for Olga Diner...worked for six years...Fired for stealing..
Married Mitchell "Mitch" Mckenzie, a truck driver she met while working at the Cocoa Cola Bottling Company...where she had gone back to work for after being let go at the Diner..Currently unemployed!
She was covered by his insurance, Cyclops Insurance...Or so she said." I said.
"I told you Kevin is thorough.." said an approving Olivia Bennett-Alexander..
"The Best.." said Yvette..
What they both had in common was my wife Sepia...
Sepia sold Olivia her present Office/Duplex
and Sepia rented Yvette's apartment to
her and
those of her four contemporaries and her investigator Jade..
Both women dearly loved Sepia and I...
"Yes....I found out that much about her and it is disturbing....I was going to meet with you and Mr. Wilson again before his murder,..."said ADA Page..
"I was working with Attorney/Insurance Investigator Bonnie Shay on this woman and this is what we found out I said , telling them about the conversation the day before..
"I looked into that Leslie Mckenzie person you were talking about..We dropped her and her husband almost a year ago...I know they are both going around saying that they had a $1500.00 dollar deductible ,but that was a lie."said Bonnie..
"I thought so...Earlier in the year, Leslie Mckenzie created a GoFundMe and Facebook page claiming she was diagnosed with Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer (HNPCC) and was receiving treatment from oncology specialists at the "Abraham Cancer Center” at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. The actual name of the facility is the Abramson Cancer Center.
Through her pages, Smith claimed she was facing tremendous medical bills, travel costs and other payments related to child care and missed work. She also said her insurance coverage held a $15,000 deductible.
Mrs. Mckenzie managed to raise over $110,000 through her fundraisers which she deposited to her multiple bank accounts,I found out. But with the increased donations also came skepticism.
"She was very vague about her diagnosis and treatment and really suggestive photos, like a selfie on the bathroom floor, "About to give up on life but also please donate to my GoFundMe,'"
Terri Price, McKenzie's high school friend, who works for me..(We Distribute her Podcast. Told me that she brought McKenzie on as a guest on her podcast "The Ever Lovin Truth" over the summer. During the interview, McKenzie defended herself against her detractors.
"If anyone straight up came up to me and was like, ''I think you’re faking this,' I literally would say, 'Okay, you’re coming to chemo with me on Monday,'" she said during the interview.
There was no chemo for her on Monday or any other day...I checked with all of the area hospitals and Cancer specialists...It took some time...but I got it done.."I said.
''Wow ,our investigations must have overlapped each other...I came to the same conclusions and checked all of her bank accounts."said Bonnie.
"Did you also know she started a GoFund me on Twitter saying she had Breast Cancer and she said pretty much the same thing..That she was facing tremendous medical bills, travel costs and other payments related to child care and missed work. She also said her insurance coverage held a $15,000 deductible. My mother in law and her boyfriend gave her $2500.00 and two of my employees gave her $400.00. She has pulled in close to a million dollars total in over a year....Half a million dollars that is unreported on her taxes...She states her employer is the Cocoa Cola Bottling Company...but I checked..She hasn't worked there in six months...and get this..she has no children...So why does she need money for child care?" I asked.
"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu she's a slicky....."said Sepia..
"The question is...What can we do?" asked Bonnie.
"We can meet with her...Talk to her..and maybe just maybe, she'll quietly give the money back."I said.
"Oh My God, you've got a real grifter on your hands." said Yvette, astounded by what I had told her..
"You can talk to her all you want...She's not going to admit to anything and if you make her too suspicious she'll just take down the website and move the money."said Olivia..
"Livy's right..she's not going to return that kind of money."said ADA Sharon Page..
"I anticipated that...I've got operatives watching her multiple accounts which now amount to over a million dollars....I've got a man on her husband...who appears to be innocent of the whole thing and I have the names of the donors..including my mother in law who she got for $2500.00 and two employees of mine who she got for $200.00 a piece." I said.
"Oh you are good...If I ever go back into Private Practice...I'm going to keep you on retainer.."laughed Karen...
We All laughed out loud...
Lt. Tragg stared at us...He couldn't make out what was being said...but he knew I was giving Karen information about something..Something big...
"She knew Trevor Wilson and he had told her he was going to the authorities...And now he's dead...Where are you on the murder?" I asked.
Karen sighed..
''Arthur Tragg is on it.." she said.
Olivia and I and Yvette sighed...
II-
At my mother in law's loft...Charles had come over....She was wearing some new lingerie she had purchased...He was quite impressed
So impressed..he had it off and on the floor soon after Jeanne modeled it for him...
''Ouuuuuuuuuuuu....ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm...Oh my god Jeanne, you're driving me crazy..."moaned Charles Mack....
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh work me , work me daddy, work me like a job...ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, oh my goodness..." moaned Jean...
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!" he yelled..
''Charles please!!! ouuuuuuuuu, I'm about to GET it ,aint I?" said Jean.
"Yessss lawddd, youse about to GET IT GIRL!!!.Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" he moaned..
She laughed...
She had wanted to tell him he had been hustled, but she didn't want to hurt his pride...or make him think she was in his business..The only way to get him in a good mood and have his attention was through sex...
''Glad you're enjoying yourself..but you have to calm down.....I know it feels good to you baby...Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, lawd...ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! but this is so...ouuuuuuuuuuu! So goooood! Ouuuu work me daddy!" she giggled..
"Sounds like it feels good to you too baby!"he said.
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh it does...ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu it does......lawwwwd!" she moaned..
The bed was squeaking out of control and the headboard was slamming up against the wall so hard, the paint and the plaster was coming off...
''Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...oh Charles...ouuuuuuuuuuuuuu give it to mama, give it to mama strong....YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU YESSSSSS!!!" she moaned...
''Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."
"Ohhh baby, give it to meeeeee....ummmmmmph..."screamed Jeanne
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....Jean...Lawd, Jean ...ouuuuuuuuuu, more, more... ohhhhhh..."he screamed....
"Sock it to me Charles...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."
"LAWDDD woman, what are you doing to meeeee?"he said...
"What am I doing to you? What are you doing to MEEEEEE? wouuuuuuuuuuu lawd!"she cooed...
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh gooooddddddd lawdd it's soooo
goood...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh ...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sweeeeet
jesusssssssssss you are a demon in the
bedddddddddd...arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.."he moaned loudly.... "Morrre...Morreee....morrre...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. CHARLES..ouuuuuu......OHHHHHHH."
she wailed...
The bed was squeaking loud and the headboard was rattling....
People walking by the window stopped...Then smiled sheepishly and kept going.....
EIGHT TO NINE HOURS SLIPPED BY....Jeanne hadn't had this much sex and this long since she was a young woman....
Even the young prison guard she had been involved with years ago didn't go this long...She was convinced that Charles was on something...Cialis, Viagra or something...He didn't make any sense..going this long and being this hard...
Her legs began to tremble....So did his...He was sweating profusely....She was having an intense orgasm.....and he was cumming like a river....
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooouuuu , ohhh Charles..." she sighed..
"Lawd woman...you are too damn sexy..." he sighed.. breathing heavy...
"You're too damn horny....You don't have to jump on top of me every time you come over..." Jeanne giggled...
"I suppose not...but lawd...you is the sexiest woman I've ever known..." said Charles..
''Charles...I'm gonna tell you somethin and I don't want you to get mad okay?" said Jeanne..smiling at the compliment!
"How am I going to get mad at you?" he asked...Still trying to catch his breath..
"That $2500.00 you told me about....I know that's your money and I wasn't tryin to be all up in your business but that was a hell of a lot of money to give up...I had Kevin look into the donor...She's a phony...she had another gofund me on Twitter ,claiming to have Breast Cancer....she told us she had Colon Cancer....Pass me my laptop...I'll show you.."said Jeanne....
She got two of Kevin's employees for $200.00 a piece...She's got a record of arrests and multiple jobs and no children...Remember she said she needed money for her children? she's got none...Plus, I saw her in Victoria's Secret, the day I went to buy these and she was as healthy as a horse..When I confronted her..She laughed in my face.....You got took honey...I'm sorry.."said Jeanne..
"Damn.....I'm from North Jersey, close to New York City....and I got took by two people....This little slick ass white girl.."said Charles..
"Who Else took you honey?" asked Jeanne..
"You baby!...I'm completely taken with you.."said Charles...
"Awwwww.."she said..
They kissed passionately....
"Charles am I about to get it again?" she asked..
"Yessss you is about to get it...ummmmmmmmmmmmph.."he moaned in between sloppy kisses..
And soon they were back in bed, making love again....The bed squeaking loudly and the headboard rattling...
''Woooooouuuuuuuuu, where does this old man get his stamina from?" wondered Jeanne... III-
with Kool Kat and Bonnie Shay, I talked to every resident of the Apartment complex about Trevor Wilson..
To my surprise, most of them had been interviewed by Lt. Tragg already and they told us what they had told him...Next to nothing...Only a select few even knew the man...They knew that he was terminally ill with Cancer and was given only months to live...
They knew that he had had a falling out with Leslie Mckenzie.. None of the people I talked to liked her very much and they all knew she was a scam artist..
The camera outside and in the back of the building had been busted the after noon Trevor was shot to death… but both had been fixed and was working now..
A security guard had also been put at both doors...which was good , but it did poor Trevor no good now..
Leslie McKenzie came to the door...
''Who the hell are you?" she asked.
"I'm Bonnie Shay....Here is my card...I'm an Attorney and Insurance Investigator for Cyclops Insurance...You and your husband have lodged several phony medical claims with my company and you falsely used our company's name in your GoFundMe on Facebook and Twitter and on a Podcast...Neither of you are represented by Cyclops Insurance." she said.
"I'm a Private Investigator and I'm looking into your GoFund Me period...You've swindled three of my clients....One for $2500.00." I said..
She looked like she'd seen a ghost...She knew the Cat was Out Of The Bag!
Kool Kat peered out the window...
He saw two police cars drive up..and four uniforms get out..
"Hey Kev...we got company." he said..
I was surprised...
Lt. Tragg walked up the stairs and down the hall..
''What are you doing here?" he asked.
"That would be my business..."I said.
"Oh yeah? Well Homicide is my business..." he said..
"Boys, Hook her up.."he said..
"Leslie McKenzie, you have the right to remain silent...Anything you say can and will be used against you...You have the right to an attorney....If you can't afford an attorney, one will be gotten for you...Do you understand these rights as I have read them to you?" said Lt. Tragg..
''What's the charge?"snarled Leslie..
"Suspicion of Murder."said Lt. Tragg..
''He can't formally charge her with that..." I said.. I wasn't an attorney, but I knew that much..
Bonnie, who had been a former Public Defender and Assistant District Attorney also knew that..
"You're right...That means he doesn't have enough evidence ...He's going to foolishly try to sweat a confession out of her.."said Bonnie.
"She's a tough nut...She's been in the system before...He won't get anything out of her.."said Kool Kat..
''Well at any rate, at least he got the right suspect for a change.." I said.
The Three of us laughed..
IV-
24 HOURS LATER!
Sepia, Kimmie and I sat in Dunkin Donuts...
''Did you tell your mother that the little scam artist is safely behind bars.?" I asked.
"No Not yet...She wasn't home and I wasn't going over to Charles's place...I didn't want to hear or see anything untowards…"said Sepia..
Coffee, Hot Chocolate and pastries appeared..
ADA Karen Page walked up on the three of us...
"Oh Hiii Kevin...Is this your family?" she asked..
''Yes..These are my girls...My wife, Sepia and our daughter, Kimberly...Ladies , this is Assistant District Attorney Karen Page." I said.
"Hi...How are you?" said Sepia..Kimmie waved...
"Ohhh she's so cute.....Just when I thought he couldn't foul up this case , he did.."said Karen..
"Lt. Tragg? He arrested her on murder charges yesterday..."I said.,
"Suspicion of murder ...Not really a charge...and he held her for 9 hours without being able to charge her with anything...He had to let her go....She never mumbled a word..Now she knows we are on to her..."said Karen..
"I'll put a scope on her...she won't get far.." I said..
"Thank you...I'm afraid she may change up....Move her money..."said Karen... "I'm building a fraud case...a strong one based on what you and Bonnie Shay gave me and what my office found out on it's on..."said Karen Page..
At my mother in law's loft...Charles had come over....She was wearing some new lingerie she had purchased...He was quite impressed
