We were all in Sam Mother's Diner bright and early the next Morning.
The smell of Omelettes
Hot Grits with butter..
Hash Browns..
and Breakfast sausage was in the air as our platters were placed in front of us..
We all had freshly squeezed Orange Juice..
and Hot coffees..
''Well your guys will be on time for the prelim this morning." laughed Gary Lockwood to Yvette.
"I never worry about them...They're very mature and responsible.." said Yvette.
"We almost didn't make it.." giggled Ms. Jade to Lt. Danny Ho ,
who spent the night with her..and together they had made great sensual love most of the night!!
''Shhhhh"he laughed..
I had that smug satisfied look of someone who had gotten some the night before..
Bee Bee ,who was sitting close to me, almost in my lap had the glazed look of a woman in love on her face..
Kahlil looked very smug and satisfied
So did Sofia..
ADA Abby Sleet walked in...
She also had that look on her face that women have when they've gotten some good loving..
She looked rested and refreshed and had a glow about her....Had she and Lt. Tragg reconciled?
We would soon find our answer to that.. She smiled and waved to us..
Her order of Fried eggs
Scrapple
Hot Coffee
and Orange Juice..arrived,,
Whoever had made her happy and given her that glow was certainly not Lt. Tragg...We ascertained that as soon as he walked in...
"Abby...Where have you been for the past two days? I haven't seen or heard from you.." he said as he invited himself to her table..
"I've been working...Playing catch up on this case, which you have put me behind in....I hope you honored my wishes and weren't over my apartment.. Did you recanvas the crime scene like I asked..?" she said.
"WHERE WERE YOU?" he asked angrily...ignoring her questions.
"I don't think that is any of your business , and get up from my table....I didn't invite you to sit down and eat with me.." she said.
"Looks like there is trouble in paradise.." said Gary...
"Well One thing I am sure of...She didn't sleep with him last night...He said he hasn't seen her in two nights."said Yvette..
He tried a different tack...He began to talk to her softer...Gentler...
"Baby...Look...Did you get scared the other night? ..It was intense, me and you...I know...but it's alright...I can be gentle..." he said softly and slid his hand up her skirt...rubbing her legs softly...
"Ummmm, I can be gentle baby..ummmmmm, oh my goddd!" he said softly..tugging at the waistband of her panties..
She slapped him harder than ADA Yvonne Harris had slapped him...It was loud!!
"OOOF!" he said as he left his chair and landed on the floor..
The whole diner heard it, if they didn't see it...
She had slapped him so hard, he fell out of his chair on to the floor...
''WHAT DID I SAY THREE DAYS AGO ABOUT YOUR HANDS UP UNDER MY SKIRT???...NOW LEAVE MY TABLE!" she said...
Lt. Tragg was on the floor , rubbing his cheek...He was as red as a beet and very embarrassed.
"Oh My Goddd!" said Kahlil, who couldn't control his laughing..
"WOW!!" said Bee Bee
"Oh My God...I'm glad Dabnis isn't here.." I said..
"I know right? He'd be howling..bringing everybody's attention to it.." said Sofia..
"I think that slap brought everybody's attention to it.." said Gary...
Yvette didn't laugh...She just sat in disbelief...
So did Jade.
Lt. Danny Ho was laughing so hard, his sides were hurting...He was banging his fists on the table..
He knew he was going to hear about it later...but he didn't care, it was funny...
Lt. Tragg got to his feet immediately...He straightened his suit and left the diner...He didn't bother to order...
Danny Ho was laughing so hard, he fell to the floor....
''Get Up...It's not that funny."said an embarrassed Jade..
"Actually it is.." said Gary, who was laughing hard himself..
At this point, I was laughing hard..So hard my sides were hurting...
So was Bee Bee, who put her head on the table..and was shaking...She was laughing so hard....
Sofia was laughing so hard , tears were coming from her eyes..
and Kahlil kept everyone laughing by going..
"OOOOOF!" imitating the sound Lt. Tragg made when he got slapped and fell to the floor..
Ms. Yvette walked over to Abby and sat down..
"Honey are you okay?" she asked...."Don't mind them...they aren't laughing at you..They're laughing at Lt. Tragg." she said..
"Oh I don't care about them laughing...I should have nipped it in the bud with him ,the minute he started doing that...I heard he does that to all of the female ADA's..."said Abby..
"Actually just the White, Blonde ones like yourself...That's his type, with the exception of ADA Yvonne Harris., she's brunette..." said Yvette, who smiled.
"You're nice and your associate attorneys seem nice.. I hope after all of this is over..We can all be friends.."said Abby Sleet..
"I think we all would like that." said Ms. Yvette.
II-
You could cut the tension in this preliminary hearing with a knife..
ADA Abby Sleet was on time and prepared...She played a great game of catch up...She called all of our character witnesses and grilled them hard on cross examination...Lucky for us...We had coached them and prepared them...Nothing much changed..
A lot that was being gone over was just a rehash of two days before..She was a damn good attorney and was going to be formidable...You could see the frustration and embarrassment on her face from what had transpired the past few days..Her Orgasmic outburst, her being late and missing the entire first preliminary and her playing catch up and inadvertedly giving us an advantage by having two more days to bring up new evidence..
The blame for all of this fell squarely on the shoulders of Lt. Tragg, who had not recanvased the original crime scene and hadn't interviewed any potential new witnesses...
She gave him a baleful glare..
For his part...He was as red as a beet and sat very surly and quiet...Not making a move...He was as usual now of days, LIVID!!!He did not like being embarrassed in public and getting the snot slapped out of him in front of us and knowing we were laughing at him behind his back made him a very unhappy camper.
Judge Mike King noticed that something was amiss....But he didn't say anything...
Yvette was prepared with our defense of Luis Felicidad...
She made a motion that these charges be dropped on the basis that the case was being made soley by a little blood splatter that was found on his clothing, that was transferred from him pulling his sobbing girlfriend from the scene of the crime..
Ms. Yvette noted that she had a lot more blood on her and was not arrested or charged..
Luis Felicidad smiled and nodded..
I brought up that a lot of this case was being made off of neighborhood rumors...Old rumors that there was bad blood between Luis Felicidad and his victim...
I brought up several neighborhood people, including his girlfriend's cousins and nephews and nieces who said that their aunt admired "his hustle"..He had a good job,He was in school and had a nice apartment and had changed her mind about him...
Bee Bee interviewed his sobbing girlfriend, Sarita Montanya
...The daughter of the deceased , who swore that her boyfriend did not harm her mother...That he pulled her out of the room after she found the body in a pool of blood.
Sofia showed their movie ticket stubs and their debit card receipts for the night from the movie theatre and the gas station in the minutes leading up to the murder.
Kahlil brought up the here to for unknown fact that Ms. Montanya was a drug dealer...She sold a package to two separate drug organizations...and took her money off the top.. He showed photos of the 2020 Mercedes Benz, the New Brick work..The modern kitchen and bathroom and shower..
"Very Nice things...Hard to afford on just a social security and welfare check." said Kahlil...
He produced witnesses that vouched for the fact that she was indeed selling a hot package on the street..
"This murder could have been a drug hit , gone wrong.." said Kahlil...
Abby argued the only thing she could argue..
''Calls for speculation.."
She tried in vain to break down our witnesses..but they stuck to their stories and were not rattled..
She shook her head in frustration...Lt. Tragg had done a poor investigation and she was not sure herself if this man was actually a killer...
She had to admit that we had put together a very nice and efficient defense...and that our investigator had done what a paid Police Detective had not..
She bowed to us out of respect...
Lt. Tragg was still angry from being slapped and embarrassed at Sam Mother's Diner.. He didn't look her way...
She could have cared less...She was thinking about Judge Tad Thornton
and the sweet love they had made last night and of falling asleep in his arms...Waking up this morning and taking a nice hot shower together and him walking her back to her apartment..
She felt so nice...
She smiled.
Judge King made his ruling..
"I have a good mind from what I've heard to throw this whole thing out...There is a whole lot of nothing here..but I'm going to keep it... It's Thursday...Trial begins Tuesday at 9:00 am sharp...Don't be late...Be ready for trial.." he said..
"Well Man, we tried,We almost won this thing in the prelims.." I said.
"This is soo crazy...That Lt. Tragg, How did he get to be a detective?" asked Felicidad..
"You know Luis my man ,That is a question that keeps me up at nights."said Kahlil..
Bee Bee cracked up laughing..
So did Sofia..
"You guys are too much... Just hang loose...but not too much.."said Yvette..
"I've got more digging to do.." said Jade...
III-
It was Thursday Night, Salsa Night..We were all at Aqua Bar....
"She slapped him out of his chair?" said Beverly West laughing loud....
''Slapped the crap out of him...Do the sound he made Kahlil.." said Bee Bee..
"Oooooof" said Kahlil..
Which had our entire circle in hysterics...
''That's what he gets...Nasty Buzzard always putting his hands up someone's dress...Where does he get off?" said Josie..
"That's the second time he's been slapped...He won't be getting off anymore." said Nelson..
Again everybody laughed...
"Man if I had of been there and seen that...He'd of had to pull his glock out and shoot me...because I would have laughed so loud....it wouldn't have been funny.."said Paris.
"We all said we were glad you weren't there..."I said to Dabnis..
"No I should have been there to see that!" said Dabnis, who was howling....and squeezing poor Jazzy to death...
"No you shouldn't have...but I must admit...I would have loved to have seen it..Ouuuu ease up, I'm not going anywhere...You squeezing me too tight."laughed Jazzy.
"That's how much I love you baby!" Dabnis joked to his new wife of only a few months...
''Well don't over love me..." said Jazzy, smiling...
Sofia explained in Spanish to Jessica what happened..
She cracked up and yelled "Punta"
"I know what that is.." said Chip, laughing..
As Salsa Bowls were brought to our table and we chowed down!
We all decided to drink Margaritas that night in honor of ADA. Abby Sleet.
At Josies where the rest of the gang was, the story was being told again..
"Liv as funny as it was...I was too stunned to laugh....She slapped him out of the chair..."said Yvette..
"Oh My God...But that's what he gets...Always sticking his hands up somebody's skirt....Nasty Buzzard.."said Olivia, who looked at Gary and Danny Ho..
"Oh My God...They are really getting a kick out of this.." she said, smiling..
Tears were streaming down Gary's face, he was laughing so hard....
Lt. Danny Ho's face was red and he was laughing hard too, just shaking..
"Livy Girl ,they've been carrying on like this since it happened and it was hours ago." said a smiling Yvette, who was looking at both of them and just shaking her head.
Kayla , who was hanging out with her cousin Olivia tonight laughed too..
"I'm so glad I 've had few dealings with that man.." she said.
Her husband Ray said..
"I'm glad too because I'd have to kill him.." he said.
"We aren't his type Kayla.. He likes Blondes...We are Black Girls.." said Yvette with a smile..
Yvette remembered spending Christmas with Olivia's family when they were in law school...and meeting Olivia's niece and little cousin...They were cute girls about 14, she and Liv were 23...she took them both,Beverly and Kayla as if they were her own little sisters.
"Oh Gary stop laughing...It wasn't that funny." she chided her boyfriend.
Gary was again laughing so hard, tears were streaming down his face...He was banging his hands on the table..
Lt. Danny Ho..glad he was in a place where he didn't have to worry about seeing Lt. Tragg was laughing uncontrollably...He looked like he was about to cry...
Jade just looked at Danny and shook her head..
Donnie Ray , usually stoic was laughing so hard , he was shaking...
"Is it that funny husband? You didn't even see it.."said Olivia, smiling and shaking her head.
The Private Investigator, Kevin Morris was in Josie's that night with his wife Sepia..He was no fan of Lt. Tragg...He was uncharacteristically laughing as hard as Danny Ho, Donnie Ray and Gary Lockwood when he heard the news..
"It's a good thing I wasn't there..He would have had to shoot me.."said Kevin,laughing so hard...Tears were coming out his eyes..
"See you never need to tell my husband anything like this..He just acts a straight fool.."said his wife, Sepia.
"He's in good company...You see how the other guys are laughing..:said Yvette with a smile..surprised that they were still laughing so hard..
Shrimp Baskets arrived as
as well as Fried Chicken....
Ms. Yvette and the gang decided to have Margaritas too in honor of ADA Sleet..
At Curly's Bar that Night..
B.L. and Karen Page heard about the incident from a patron who had been at Sam Mothers and witnessed it first hand..
They fell out laughing...
Surprisingly enough they were having Margarita's too!
IV-
Night Fall
And once again.. ADA Abby Sleet found herself on the first floor in Judge Tad Thornton's apartment..
She had taken a long hot bath and was relaxing...She had brought a change of clothes as he had asked..
"I cooked for you.." he said..
"Ouuuuuuuuu.." she said..
He prepared a Grilled Swordfish for her
with a nice white wine....
"Oh My God this is sooo good.." she said as the two of them ate..
After Dinner this led to more kissing
and more groping.. and of course more lovemaking..
Tad got to do what he had been daydreaming about all day, make love to Abby
"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!" he moaned..
"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…talk to me daddy, is it good?" she cooed softly as the bed began to squeak and the headboard began to rattle..
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..Ohhhhhh my goddddddd! YESSSSSSSSS!" he moaned...
"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!"he moaned..
"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU YES....YESSSSSSSSSSSS..OOUUUU HOOO HOO HOO" she moaned...
"YES!!! YES...OH YESSSSS!"moaned Tad ..who didn't know if he was coming or going...
"OUUUU WEEEE...OUUUUU WEEEE...OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU WEEEEE!" she cooed...
SEVEEN TO EIGHT HOURS SLIPPED BY!
"You are just showing off...Just showing off in this bed...."she said..
"Ohhhhhhhhh you are driving me crazy.." he moaned...
"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! You like it do you like it?" she cooed loudly..
"Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssss…you know I do...Ohhhh lawdddd!" he moaned in his deep baritone..
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh TAdddd!….ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.." she moaned.
She had already had three very intense orgasms that left her in tears.....And Judge Thornton as usual showed no signs of stopping..
She blew softly into his ear..and played in his hair...
THREE TO FOUR MORE HOURS and a halfwent by before Tad began to come with wild abandon as did Abby.. holding on to him for dear life....
"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she moaned..both of her legs shaking and her head turning from side to side...she found herself getting emotional and crying again...Something she never did before..
He found himself more satisfied than he had been in awhile... He lay on his back with a big grin on his face...
Lt. Tragg had dropped by to talk to her , to apologize , to see if they could get back on track..but once again, she was not home and he had no idea where she might be...
It was too late to go to Curleys or anywhere else...
He finally decided to just leave and head home..He walked down to the first floor...
He heard the bed squeaking like crazy...
"You are just showing off...Just showing off in this bed...."she said..
"Ohhhhhhhhh you are driving me crazy.." he moaned...
"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! You like it do you like it?" she cooed loudly..
"Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssss…you know I do...Ohhhh lawdddd!" he moaned in his deep baritone..
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh TAdddd!….ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.." she moaned.
He didn't recognize the female voice...but he knew Young Judge Thornton was getting laid..
He smiled..That should be him...
Tad Thornton was his type of guy...He liked him.. Lucky son of gun...He wondered who he had in his room?
