"Liv I'm so sorry...I couldn't get you Judge Reynolds...This Guy..Judge Allen Cox was the best I could do.." said ADA Karen Page of the Wrongful Conviction Unit..
"That's okay...We've got to go with what we got.."said Olivia..
''We couldn't get Judge Reynolds everytime.."sighed Beverly...
"Any of you guys know this guy?" asked Josie.
"I know him...He's been around...I thought he was dead.."said Nelson..
Beverly snickered...
"I never practiced before him...but I vaguely remember him..."said Olivia..
"Is that good or bad?" asked Louise..
"It means there is a 50/50 chance....That's all it is anyway.."I said.. "You're going to be a lawyer...You'll see." I said, smiling at our client..
"If I don't wind up in jail the rest of my life.."sighed..Louise..
"Hey, have a little faith in us.."said Olivia..
"We have been known to win a few cases." joked Beverly, trying to make her cousin smile.
II-
"ALL RISE FOR THE HONORABLE JUDGE ALLEN COX." said the Bailiff..
The Judge walked in...He was short...Shorter than Beverly..Had a receding hairline and wore thick glasses..
He eyed the courtroom..
"Olivia Bennett-Alexander and Beverly West....I wondered if they would ever practice in my court....I recognize Nelson East...He's been with Olivia , since she and Beverly were Public Defenders, I believe I heard that he married Beverly awhile back!...Wow! I don't know who those other two are with them.." he thought..
He spotted the ADA...Contessa Cox...His ex-wife..
''Contessa... What is she doing, slumming? She left me for some fast talking Attorney , who appeared in those late night commercials..The damn fool died in a boating accident, now she's back here in the D.A.'s office and I'm the Judge...My how the mighty have fallen...but she was good in bed and she looks like a snack right about now...My word..." he thought...
And then his eyes feasted on him...Lt. Arthur Tragg...
"That son of a bitch Tragg...He's a Lieutenant now...I remember that $125.00 ticket he gave me back when he was a uniformed police officer...Cocky little son of bitch...I swore if I ever got a chance to stick it to him I would...Today might just be the day.." thought the Judge..
"A hem, your honor today we are here asking that this defendant..Louise Johnson be held with no bail. She is charged with the Capital Crime of Murder in the first Degree.....She poisoned well known Politician and former U.S. Attorney and now Congressman Wardell Clemmons...It appears to have been a crime of passion." argued ADA Contessa Cox..
"Your Honor my client is the victim of one overzealous detective's rush to Judgement..There is no baring for these charges at all..She has no priors and is not a flight risk.."said Olivia.
"She is a recent graduate of Georgetown Law School and if not for these egregious and un warranted charges would be getting married tomorrow.."said Beverly....
"Clearly your honor our client has suffered enough already." said Nelson..
"I agree!!...Bail is set at $1000.00 dollars." said Judge Cox.
"WHAT?" screamed Lt. Tragg..
"I'll be damned...That petty, petty little man...Still mad that I ran off with the Attorney in the late night slip and fall commercials...I'll be damned...I should have stopped by his house and slept with him last night...That would have softened him up. I've passed this way before...Damn!" Said ADA Contessa Cox..smiling and shaking her head..
Olivia gave the bailiff a check for $100.00 and Louise and all of us walked out of court together that afternoon..
''We've Passed This way before.." she sighed, grateful for our good fortune..she really didn't want to see this scared young girl sitting in jail for days on end awaiting trial.
"Oh My God Cousin Olivia, Cousin Beverly..I don't believe it.Thank you so much." said Louise..
"Don't thank us yet...Thank us when we get you off.."said Beverly..
''Damn, I wasn't expecting that..It wasn't Judge Reynolds, You think maybe he talked to him?" asked Nelson..
"No, the ADA is his ex-wife..Think about it Nelson, you remember the story...It was your first year with me...A year before you started Niecy Poo." said Olivia, kissing Beverly on the cheek..
"Ouuu...I need to hear this story.."said Beverly.
"Yes...I hate to admit it...But I'm curious too.."I said..
"Me too...Spill the tea Liv." said Josie..
"They both started out as Assistant District Attorneys...and they were both very good...very good prosecutors...Then she left and got a job at a very reputable law firm...She took up with an Attorney there who was just starting to make a name for himself...He did a lot of uh what we call Slip and Fall cases and had a few commercials on TV...Late night TV..She divorced Judge Cox and ran off with this guy..."said Olivia.
''So they got married?" I asked.
"No...He had a boat...Out on Penns Landing and he had spilled a lot of gas on the boat..He was smoking a cigarette at the time and the boat exploded..Killed him....It was purely an accident..But they hadn't gotten married and there was no insurance policy...Nothing and he didn't leave a will...She didn't get jack!"said Olivia..
"A lawyer that doesn't leave a will, Imagine that!" said Beverly..
"Yeah....I remember that story and shortly after he died, the Law Firm they worked for went belly up...broke up into different parts.."said Nelson..
''So what happened?"said Josie..
"Well you see what happened... Allen Cox went on and became a Judge....and she is back with the D.A.'s office as an ADA.."said Olivia..
"WOWWWW! How the mighty fall." I said..
"Let's go get some hot food.."said Beverly..
"That's a good idea.."said Louise..
III-
We all wound up at Sam Mother's Diner..
Having some good comfort food...Smothered Pork Chops and some Ice teas...
"Ummmmmmmmmmmm this tastes sooo good.." said Louise..
"I'm so happy they got you out baby..."Said Alfreda..
"Sorry about your wedding being postponed.."said Rockland...
"I just want all this behind me.." said Louise..
"I'm surprised your room mate wasn't at the arraignment...In fact I haven't heard much from her at all."I said..
"I know..I called her...She hasn't answered..."said Louise..
"You can't stay in that Hotel room now...Both rooms are considered crime scenes.." said Olivia..
"You can stay at my place...I've got room." said Josie..
"Ohhhh thank you!" said Louise..
Just then Lt. Tragg walked in..
As usual ,he was livid..
"Louise ,Enjoy your celebration while it lasts...but you're going to jail..Your panties and your bra were in his hotel room as well as your dry cleaning and your prints are on the water glass...you can't unexplain that...Not even with the help of your Swengolies, Olivia and Beverly.." he snarled..
"I didn't kill that man...I don't know him...and you are an asshole.." said Louise..
"The mouth on this girl..." laughed Lt. Tragg.
"Lieutenant...We aren't trying the case in here..We are eating a meal...."said Olivia..
''So go away."said Beverly..
"Yes, Go away.."said Alfreda..
''Fine ,but like I said...This time..you two are going to lose."said Lt. Tragg..
Rockland waited until he was out of range and said..
"When this case came up...Every ADA I know...backed off of it...Not because of Olivia and Beverly, but because HE was the arresting officer..Poor Contessa got stuck with it..She didn't want it either."said Rockland...
"Why do I not find that hard to believe?" I said..
Nelson laughed...
So did Josie.
IV-
Olivia
was still up
when I returned home..
She poured me a cup of coffee..
"Thanks babe.." I said..
"So, What do you know?" she asked..
"The drink glass with her fingerprint is easily explained..Every room has identical water glasses...Two a piece...Their room is missing a set...While Big Daddy's room has four, The two the police have with her fingerprints and his two, that were untouched...The paper seal wasn't broken..So Why would she bring two water glasses from her room up to his suite , when his suite had two water glasses..?" I asked..
''Okayyyyy."said Olivia.
"She picked her dry cleaning up the day before she checked in to that room...It was in with her luggage..Why would she take it upstairs to his suite?...And last but not least...The panties and bra..were in her hamper...and yet they are on the floor next to his dead body...She was wearing a different pair of panties and a different bra at the time she was drugged and later arrested. Liv, that whole scene was staged....Somebody brought those things up there..." I said.
"The room mate?? But she was drugged as well!..She nearly died." said Olivia.
"But she didn't !And now she's missing... I interviewed 124 people, guests, employees..the works...Nothing, Nothing that can help...I need to know if any witnesses saw who was on that floor and in that room and there is one person...The lady who lives across the hall..The one who said she minds her business , who might know...She wasn't in tonight either.."I said..
"Well that's a start...Donnie Ray?" said Olivia..
"Yes Baby?" I answered..
''You said I make you hornier than any other woman you've ever known...Are you horny now?" she asked.
"VERY!" I whispered..
''I am too!"she said.
I pulled her night shirt up...ran my hands down into her panties and squeezed her butt...and kissed her passionately...
"Ummmmmm….ohhhhh Donnie Ray...ouuuuu you are....ouuuuuuuuuuu you areeeee.." she moaned..
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Olivia..Yessss...How are you going to sit here in front of me in that little night shirt and panties and I not be.?" I moaned...
"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu….I wanted you to be.." she cooed silently... ''Well I am..You got your wish.." I said...in between slow , soft kisses...
She eased out of my embrace...
"Wait, let me change....You get undressed.." she whispered...
She changed into her lavender see through nightie.. with matching lavender panties..
She had purchased it from Bridget Jones's shop -Lady Chatterlies Lover, Panties and Bras for the Discriminating Woman.
She had showered before I got home and had on a new lotion and fragrance..
She smelled great...as usual...Her skin was baby soft..
I loved it..
We kissed passionately in the middle of the floor of our home...
I bent her over the kitchen sink and entered her from behind..
"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...OOOOOOOOOOp! OH MY GOOODNESSS DONNNIE RAY!!!" she screamed..
Soon I was lifting her petite body up, going to town, long stroking her...
"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU HOO HOO..OUUUU HOO HOO HOO....OH MY GODDDD! OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH DONNIE RAY!" she screamed..
Soon, we were in bed...
"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuu girllll.." I moaned..
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh husband, ummmmmmmmmmm.."she moaned.. 'Ouuuuuuuuuu Donnie Rayyyy I love you sooo much, sooo much, you don't even understand..."moaned Olivia.... "I love you too Olivia...Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my godddd…" I cried out.. "Ummmmmmmmmmmm… ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu you like it daddy?" she cooed.. "I do.." I said.. "Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu I like it too!" she said..
We were making sweet love...Nice and slow and unrushed...
EIGHT TO NINE HOURS passed by and we weren't even close to stopping...
Olivia positioned herself on top of me and began to move up and down..
"OHHHHHHHH MY GODDDDDD DONNIE RAYYYYY! Thank you baby!" she bellowed..
"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.. Thank youuuu!"I moaned.. I didn't know if I was coming or going..
This bed didn't squeak, but the headboard did rattle....
ANOTHER TWO TO THREE HOURS SLID BY..... We were going to be tired tomorrow morning, but right now...we didn't care....
We were driving each other to delirium in that bedroom..
While at that hotel downtown , a mystery lingered.. Somebody murdered Big Daddy Clemmons and it wasn't little Louise Johnson...I knew that for a fact.
