Countdowns

Monday Afternoon....Two days before the hearing....

Ms. Yvette was preparing to go to Gary's house...

Jade, Myself, Bee Bee, Kahlil and Sofia had all left an hour and a half before...We were ready to deal with the lawyer representing HUSTLER's, The Gentelmen's Club that was also being sued and the lawyer representing  Nathan Jurgens...The real estate mogul accused of sexually assaulting our client, Jessica Lee.. A Distant cousin of our investigator... Jade Lee..

 Jessica Lee was a former colleague of ours when, Bee Bee, Myself, Sofia and Kahlil were in law school...

Jessica's mother, A Chinese woman from a village in Mainland China,  was actually

Jade's first cousin.. Jessica's father,  was a White American Merchant Marine

Jessica, an American Citizen was born in New York City and moved to Philadelphia when she was 12...She worked as a High priced Exotic Dancer and sometime call girl at HUSTLER's Gentlemen's club....We were suing them for providing an unsafe work environment for the female dancers, which made it possible for Ms. Lee to be sexually assaulted...

Ms. Yvette put a few briefs into her briefcase and picked up her pocketbook... She looked up and staring at her was Nathan Jurgins himself..

"Ms. Jones.....Ms. Jones we meet again..." he laughed..

"Not by choice...What are you doing here?" asked Ms. Yvette.

"Look my company has decided  to stay on with your firm...My partners say that they need your firms expert representation. Not just here in Philly, but in other cities we have business interests in like New York, Chicago, London, Tokyo and Los Angelas..  Ever been in Los Angelas Ms. Jones?" he asked.

"I was in San Diego last year, with my boyfriend....I didn't quite make L.A.  Maybe next time."said Yvette..

"Look you guys aren't really going to represent a client , who is suing another client are you? I mean who does that? Huh? Really?" he asked.

"Look I'm getting ready to go home for the day!....In two days I suppose this company will make history okay?" said Yvette.

''Let's be real here Yvette? Can I call you Yvette?" he asked.

"That is my name." Yvette sighed..

"You've got nothing.....Nobody at that club will talk to you , They won't  talk to your investigator or those four young attorneys who work for you....Why I doubt if they'll even admit that I was there...I mean I uh don't even remember if I was there that night...You don't have any proof that I had sex with her...Consensual or otherwise...All you've got is her word against mine and I assure you....My word goes a lot further in this town than some former stripper at a Gentlemen's Club..." said Nathan Jurgens..

"How did you know she was a FORMER stripper??....I thought you didn't know her? Did you know she's an Attorney now?  She graduated from Penn Law around the same time as my young charges..."said Yvette..

"Really?  Then she ought to know that she has no case...You have no case and my lawyer is going to make you all look very foolish in the hearing two days from now. I don't wish to see that...From what I hear you are a smart young attorney on the fast track to making partner...and you're not bad on the eyes either...my my my...." he said..

"We are done here."said Yvette..

"Look, I uh was serious when I said I find you extremely attractive...I do....I love a little brown sugar every now and then..and a sassy one like you really turn me on!" he said, getting into Yvette's personal space.. "This boyfriend...uh , He a lawyer too?" he asked inching closer...Yvette could feel his hot breath and see his trousers standing out like a circus tent..

"He works in the District Attorney's Office..." said  Yvette, inching away from him.

"Ohhhh really? I know Gil Garcetti, quite well. That's your boyfriend's boss......Now why don't you shut this thing down and play nice for daddy?" he asked …...moving closer and putting his hands on her waist...

Yvette moved his hands off of her  firmly....

"My daddy is deceased....Now like I said...We are done here.!!.....Good Night Mr. Jurgens.." said Yvette, who brushed past him and headed for an open elevator..

She was lucky to get away from him...The door closed just as he got up on it..

He stomped his foot angrily !






II-

At Gary's house...Yvette smiled at him...

 "I knowwwww it was you that sent me that DVD with the evidence I needed of  that creep being in that club with Jessica....I know it was you.." laughed Yvette.

Kissing him softly...She opened his blue floor length bathrobe..Naturally he was wearing nothing under his robe and was already as hard as a brick.. She smiled seductively....

Gary laughed..

"I don't know what you're talking about.." he said innocently...

Yvette showered ....She put on her Night shirt as usual and then walked into his bedroom..

"I bought this yesterday from Bridget Jones's store , especially for you....for being such a good boyfriend and helper.." she said and took her nightshirt off..

Revealing a lacey lavender bra and panty set...with snaps...Gary's eyes literally bulged out of his head..

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY GOD!!! WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!" he said.

He had practically jumped on top of her !!!!!!

"Garrrry please....ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu ,oh my god...." moaned Yvette...as the bed sunk beneath their combined weights....

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.." she moaned in between laughter....

"Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww lawwwd!" he cried out...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU YES....YESSSSSSSSSSSSS, TALK TO ME DADDY!!! OUUUUU YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!" she screamed out...

"Yvettttte….OH MY GOD!!!! YOU ARE THE SEXIEST WOMAN ALIVE!!!."moaned Gary...

"Well thank you...That's a little much, but I'm glad you think so.....ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Gary....ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..YESSSSSS....Ouuuu YESSSSSS!  UMMMMMM!"she moaned.

Gary's bed was squeaking out of control now and his headboard was slamming hard against the wall..

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.....OHHHHH LAWWWWD!" he moaned..

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM...OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Garrrryyyyyyyyyyyy, thank you...thank you so muchhhhhh!" she moaned...

 "ANYTIME!!!! ANYTHING FOR YOUUUUUUUUU...OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" he moaned hard...

"OHHHHHHH GARY, I LOVE YOU SOOO MUCH BABY!" screamed Yvette to the top of her lungs...

EIGHT TO NINE HOURS of sweet tender lovemaking followed... Gary was so turned on, he didn't feel himself coming like a gusher...At least not at first.....

Yvette's legs were shaking, her head was turning from side to side and she was crying like a baby...

Yvette continued kissing Gary softly, slowly and pretty soon he was hard again and

and on top of her , continuing to make love...She was grateful to him...He wasn't supposed to be involved and at great risk to himself he had done her a big favor...He deserved more...Plus she was totally satisfied...She wanted more!!!

And ANOTHER THREE HOURS of slow , sensuous lovemaking is what they both got..

III-

The NEXT DAY- ONE DAY BEFORE THE HEARING

Sam Mother's Diner was packed today.... Me , Bee Bee, Kahlil and Sofia sat in a booth ,waiting on our food.. We were joined by some good friends..

 "Hey Bev, Nelson, Josie..."I said..

 "Hey You guys.."said Bee Bee..

 "Hey Guys...We haven't seen you in court lately...Lot of outside litigation huh?" said Beverly...

 ''Right Now...I long for outside litigation...phew...We just finished a doozy in court today.."

"It'll be nice to kick back after that trial."said Josie..

 "You guys are finishing and we are starting a hearing tomorrow...Our client is suing her former employer and one of it's customers..." said Sofia..

"Hopefully we'll wrap our case up in time for all of us to hang out together...We haven't hung out in a minute."said Kahlil..

"I know...We miss you guys.."said Beverly...

At Another table...Ms. Yvette sat with ADA Karen Page, Olivia and Donnie Ray...

"You guys finishing up a case and we are getting ready to start one.." said Yvette..

 "You know, if you guys finish in time...Nelson has a time share in Ocean City...We've been before..It would be real nice if you guys could join us...You know ,in a week or two..."said Olivia.

"You and B.L. could come also..."said Donnie Ray to Karen..

"Ouuuu that sounds nice.."said Karen...

Just then, Lt. Tragg walked in...

He had Jessica on his arm, He scanned the room..He saw all of us...and he smirked..

Jessica spoke..

"Ms. Jones, how are you? We ready to go tomorrow?" she asked..

"Ready as we'll ever be." said Yvette..

''Arthur and I went to the Zoo, we fed the ducks and then we went on the fairy over to Camden to the Aquarium..Now we are stopping here for a bit of lunch.."said Jessica, gushing..

"Never figured you to be such an animal lover Lieutenant."said Donnie Ray, smiling raffishly...

"Oh yesss...I'm very much into uh Natural things.." he said smiling sheepishly...

"Ouuuu Lieutenant are you blushing?" asked Olivia, smiling..

"I don't believe so Oliva..I don't do things like that!...Now if you'll excuse us.."said Lt. Tragg, taking Jessica by the hand and smiling at Olivia and Yvette, who despite their often adversarial relationship in court  with him, were two women he actually had come to like.

''That's our client...What the hell is she doing with Lt. Tragg?" asked a puzzled Ms. Yvette..

"This was all a little show ...I guess he calls himself making me jealous."said Karen..

''Well, are you?" asked Olivia, laughing...

''Hell No...She can have him...At least he isn't bothering me.."said Karen...

"That's our client...What the hell is she doing with Lt. Tragg?" I asked..

"Looks like she's having Iced Tea."said Beverly..

Jessica and Lt. Tragg were sipping Ice tea and laughing sheepishly at each other...

Bee Bee, Sofia and Kahlil cracked up laughing at Beverly's remark...

 "Wow...What does she see in Lt. Tragg?" asked Josie..."She must not know him.." she added..

''Every dog has his day.."laughed Nelson...

I don't know what was going on...But Lt. Tragg and Jessica sat at a table ,laughing sheepishly, talking and drinking Iced Tea  seemingly oblivious to all of us..

Even Sam Mother smiled and shook his head.






IV-

HOURS LATER!

Ms. Jade was standing outside the house of former exotic dancer, Jackie Shannon...She was Jessica's closest friend...The one who fixed her up with Nate Jurgens...and who is seen on the video tape Yvette received practically brokering the deal and handing Jessica the baby doll she would wear to dance with Nathan Jurgens that night...

She had stopped working shortly after the rape and had vacated her apartment.....Jade had tracked her down to this house she was renting...and found her dead!!!!

"It looks like a suicide...An overdose of pills...and alcohol...I've seen it many times.." said Dr. Hazel Baylor..Deputy Coroner

'Wowww...so young..."sighed Hazel..

"You say she was a potential witness in a case?" asked Hazel..

"Yes..a civil suit....The client alleges she was sexually assaulted  at HUSTLER'S Gentlemen's Club.."said Jade..

"Pretty hard to prove sexual assault in a place like that...The girls dance nude and a lot of them go on dates with the customers."said Hazel..

"Yes I know....This was the one corroborating witness I had.."said Jade..

"Ohhh, sorry!" said Hazel...

While a few blocks away...

At Curly's Bar...

ADA Karen Page sat by herself, having a drink...

Lt. Tragg walked in with the young girl she had seen him with in Sam Mother's Bar earlier today He made sure she saw him and the girl sitting at a table, laughing, talking...ordering drinks... She really could care less and was relieved he didn't have his grubby hands up her skirt..rubbing her legs and trying to slip her panties down...She didn't miss that at all...

 Lt. Tragg was rubbing Jessica's legs and slowly running his hands up her skirt...She moved his hand twice...

''Arthur ,now we've had a great time today...going to the Zoo, the Aquarium and Lunch and all ,let's not spoil it.." she cautioned..

"Spoil it?...I''m tryin to move things along..." said Lt. Tragg..

"Things are moving along....Let's take things slowly..I just met you yesterday...And I've spent all day with you...." said Jessica.

But Lt. Tragg ignored her...he ran his hand up under her skirt and tugged on the waistband of her panties....He was turning beet red....

Jessica firmly removed his hand again..

"ARTHUR....IF I HAVE TO TELL YOU ONE MORE TIME....I'M LEAVING!" she said firmly and loud enough for

ADA Karen Page to hear it and laugh to herself..

"I don't envy you girl.Not at all!" she said to herself..

"Relax baby, here come the drinks.." he said..

The drinks arrived...

Jessica downed five drinks....

Lt. Tragg didn't drink anything...in fact he was getting ready to order more....

"No...I've had enough...I've got a slight buzz.." said Jessica..

"You can come back to my place..and uh sleep it off.." said Lt. Tragg..rubbing her legs...

"No, I can go to my own place..." she said..removing his hand again...

She spotted Nathan Jurgens in the bar...He was smart enough to know that this was a cop bar and she was more than likely with a cop...He stomped his foot in anger and slithered out...

"Arthur would you mind driving me home? The hearing I'm involved in is tomorrow." she said..Suddenly worried about seeing Nathan Jurgens.

''Sure Baby!" said Lt. Tragg, now excited..He paid the tab..

 "You Live here?" asked Lt. Tragg...They were in front of the Irish Pub....It was a nice clean block and a nice enough establishment, but not where he imagined she'd live.

 "I mean...I-I just thought .." he said..

"I know what you thought....I live upstairs....It's a condo....with a great view...

The condo upstairs is fabulous...you should see it!"said Jessica..

"Yeahhh baby! I'd like to see it." he said raffishly...

''But not tonight!! I've got to get some sleep....I've got to be at that hearing tomorrow."said Jessica.

"I can't come up for uh coffee?" he asked..

"There is a Starbucks down the street Arthur if you need coffee...Good Night...Thanks for the drinks and the wonderful time I had today....Could I trouble you to pick me up in the morning? " asked Jessica.

."Yeah.....No problem..."said a very livid Arthur Tragg as he turned and walked away..
