Blindsided

 PORT RICHMOND SECTION OF PHILADELPHIA., THREE DAYS LATER!

Breakfast time..

The smell of Hot Coffe wifts through the air..

Bacon sizzles on the grill..

An Omelette is being cooked to order...

Dak Alexander sat in the restaurant in his native Port Richmond Section...Far from where he was now living and enjoyed breakfast...

A young woman he had spent the night with ate with him....

"Last night was amazing." she said as she enjoyed her breakfast..

Dak finished his meal and sipped his coffee..

"It was baby...Now what have I got to do to get you to let me spend another night with you?" asked Dak, smiling sheepishly..

"I'd say you should  thank the lady for her time, pay your bill and stand up...You're spending your next night downtown in the cooler pal! " came the voice of Lt. Tragg.

"WHAT?" said Dak Alexander...

"You're under arrest for the murder of Kay Norman, The Attorney...Read him his rights boys and hook him up!" said Lt. Tragg..

The uniformed officers handcuffed and read him his rights...

As usual, there were several police cars outside..

and lots of reporters..

As Lt. Tragg brought him out in handcuffs and made him do a perp walk in front of everybody...

Of course you know he didn't make this collar on his own...I sent him an anonymous tip by way of Paris's voice on a burner phone..

He didn't know Paris, so there was no voice recognition...

I sent him both smartphones, with typewritten instructions of what to look for and the addresses of three witnesses who put him at the scene of the crime...

Lt. Tragg usually acts with a lot less, but this time he had enough..enough to make a  credible arrest for once in his career...

II-

In the Fishbowl, the interrogation room's nickname..

Dak Alexander sat and just grinned at Lt. Tragg...

"You got nothin on me Lieutenant.." he smirked..

"I got more than enough you cheap punk...You're goin down for this..Somebody somewhere sure doesn't like you....They sent me more than enough evidence to take you down pal...Question is...WHO did you piss off?" said Lt. Tragg..

"Gooood Morning Lieutenant..."said Olivia..smiling as she and her team walked into the Fishbowl.

''We thought we'd pay you a visit before we head out to breakfast.."said Beverly, smiling..

"Yeah...We see you have Mr. Dak Alexander there."said Nelson..

"Nice and tidy, so he can't go anywhere."said Josie..

"By the way...Good Collar Lieutenant...Damn Good Collar if I don't say so myself.."I said, snickering..

"No..No..No..No..Noooooooo!! , Don't tell me you're representing this scum..."said Lt. Tragg..He was clearly blindsided by us showing up....

"Relax...We are not representing him."said Olivia. "For once, we agree with you...He is scum!" said Olivia.

"But  we are glad you are here so you can witness this...Mr. Dak here is a material witness in our murder case..The Ellery Hammner case...This is a subpeona....One for you Mr. Dak"said Beverly who put it in his hand..and a copy for you my esteemed Lieutenant.."said Beverly..who gave Lt. Tragg the copy.

"See ya in court Dak."said Nelson, smiling..

"Bye Now!"

Josie giggled and waved and followed the others out...

''Damn good collar lieutenant" I said and smiled..

Lt. Tragg sighed....He was relieved that we weren't defending Dak Alexander....He smiled at him..

''Well laughing boy...Looks like your dance card is filled.,,Guards, take him upstairs to the cooler." he snarled..

Dak Alexander was no longer smiling...In fact he seemed quite annoyed. This arrest and now a subpeona in another case completely blindsided.

 We headed to Sam Mother's diner for Breakfast...  It was the first time we'd ate out in awhile.. 

We all had five plates of Shrimp and Cheese Grits...

and cornbread...with butter...

"Ummmmmm this is sooo good!" said Josie, really enjoying her food..

"It's different!' I said with a smile..

"Husband...You did a thorough investigation of Dak...It's a shame you had to drop all of those "anonymous tips " to Lt. Tragg and allow him to get credit for his arrest..He'd of never made the connection.."said Olivia as she enjoyed the food..

"Damn shame this guy's name didn't come up during the first trial..He slipped through the cracks...I think he killed Elena Hamnner because she rejected him...You know, she slept with him a few times, made him think that they had somethin goin on and then switched up on him and didn't get the divorce...It's on all of those letters you found.."said Nelson.

"Glad you didn't turn those over to Lt. Tragg...He killed Elena and framed Ellery...but his attorney, Kay Norman was with Ellery, she was his alibi...He frightened her into not showing up in court...Her close friends say she was deathly afraid of something or someone those last days of her life...She was really nervous, Especially after a second trial ended in a hung jury." said Beverly..

"We have a completely new narrative...We've got to work on how we spin this...Also, we still have to find our other witness...Frank Barber." said Olivia..

"I may have located him! His ex-wife and a few close associates have told me that he's been staying in Atlantic City....He's returning in a few days....Gary Lockwood and his boys will be waiting."I said.

"Oh you are just the sweetest mannnnnn." said Olivia to me..

She rewarded me with a soft ,sweet kiss..

Beverly looked on and smiled...

III-

At his townhouse, there was a knock on his door.

Judge Keith Morrison answered his door..

''Wellll what a pleasent surprise..Never thought you'd visit me here." he said.

''I just needed to talk.." said ADA Yvonne Harris.

"You've got that Ellery Hammner trial coming up....This is the third trial for him huh?" said Judge Morrison.

She sighed and sat down...

"Is this a bad time? I I mean you weren't planning to go out somehwere were you?" she asked.

"No..No...In fact I was getting ready to relax...listen to a little music and drift off in my lounge chair..I had a long day today...Three trials...Speaking of three trials...This is the third trial for that Ellery Hammner fella...First two trials ended in hung juries...Who is his defense attorney? This doesn't usual happen to you." said Judge Morrison with a smile..

"It does when you're facing Olivia and Beverly...and their team..

I have to hand it to them...They're good...her husband is one of the most thorough investigators I have ever seen....and the two other attorneys...I believe one is Beverly's husband and the new girl are both equally good....Basically I'm exhausted.....I'm exhausted with this case...I'm exhausted dueling with them...I'm just exhausted period." sighed Yvonne.

"I imagine they're exhausted too! They're used to winning ,just like you are....All of you, brilliant attorneys...It must be fun to watch you guys battle it out in court. I understand Lt. Tragg was the arresting officer..Hahahahahaha and they weren't able to dissect his case? He must have brought in a halfway decent case, for once.."laughed Judge Morrison...

"Yeah, for once.." she laughed..

He dimmed the lights and turned on Alexa... He had some smooth and acid jazz playing..

The dark room and the music eased Yvonne's anxiety...

She sat on the judge's lap and kissed him passionately.. Nobody knew that they occassionally slept together....

This would be the third time...They didn't have a defined relationship...She wasn't his girlfriend...She just liked sleeping with him...She thought after the first night they spent together..two years ago that that would it...but she had slept with him earlier this year and here she was, about to sleep with him a third time!

She threw her entire life into her work...the law...so this was the closest thing she had to a social life..They stood in his living room and kissed passionately...

He unhooked her bra and slipped her panties off..

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu my goodness... WOW!" she said as she took both hands and massaged his erect and engorged penis.. 

 "WOW! You've got a big one!" she exclaimed...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.." "Ouuuuuuu girl, what are you doing?" he asked...

 "Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm….you'll find out." she said and smiled..."Myyyy goodness.look at that thing!"she exclaimed..

Soon they were in bed, making sweet love... He was driving Assistant District Attorney Yvonne Harris crazy..

EIGHT TO NINE HOURS of non stop lovemaking in that bed and he didn't seem like he was even close to stopping..This frightened her the first time they made love...His stamina...But the multiple orgasms didn't...His gentleness...His patience didn't...She really truly liked Judge Morrison.

"Judge..ouuuuu Are you on Cialis or Viagra, my goodness.." said Yvonne Harris, trying to catch her breath..

"No...Not yet...maybe in a few years.." he said... He was breathing heavy too..pounding her from behind.......

"Oh My god...you've made me cum about four times....Ouuuuuuu, it's been a long time since I've cum so much and sooo hard..ouuuu.." she said.. Nearly several months ,since their last encounter.....

ANOTHER  TWO HOURS WENT BY

and ADA Harris was having another intense orgasm...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" she screamed out....She licked his neck and blew softly in his ear..

Finally he came....He had been just what she needed tonight....Her legs were shaking....She was trembling...She felt as if she was having another orgasm.....His whole body was trembling...

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMPH..." he moaned....continuing to come...He was trembling too!

She kissed him passionately.......after a few minutes...She wasn't surprised that he was ready for another ride...The Judge was a horn dog she surmised...

and soon she was on top of him moving up and down.......

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuu....ummmmmmmmmmmmph...OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU WEEEEEEEE!" she moaned..

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH BABBBBYYYYYYYY!!!!!" he moaned...Surprised at how passionate she was....This case was really bothering her , he mused...

ANOTHER TWO HOURS DRIFTED BY......He came like a gusher....She had another orgasm! She held him for dear life!

He slept in between her legs.. this was the best feeling in the world tonight , she thought...

A few hours later , She got up, showered and got dressed and left....Judge Morrison was still sound asleep..She hated to leave without saying goodbye...but she had gotten what she needed.. Now tonight, she needed to prepare her case.

She spent her day downtown in the law library looking over trial transcripts.....autopsy reports, arrest report and witness statements..

At our Duplex Office, 

Olivia, Nelson and Josie were bringing 

Beverly and myself up to date on  Trial Transcripts, The Autopsy Report, The Arrest Report and witness statements from both trials as well as new witness statements and the new defense strategy...

We worked from Breakfast through lunch.....until about 5:00 pm....

"Okay guys....we are done.....Let's go to Sam Mother's for dinner...Nobody feels like cooking tonight.

Alfreda, why don't you and Rockland join us?" said Olivia.

''Don't mind if I do."said Alfreda.

"Great idea....I'm certain you guys are starving as hard as you've been working.

IV-

At Sam Mother's Diner...We all had a late dinner...

We were famished...Having worked on restructuring this case...

"I feel good...Good and tired.."said Olivia..

"Well the retrial begins in a few days...We are almost ready...Just gotta find Frank Barber...I'm certain he was harrassed, threatened...by Dak and his goon...Jilly." I said.

"I heard you beat the stew out of that guy the other night Donnie Ray....It's quite obvious he wouldn't have intimidated you."laughed Beverly...

"This guy was so contrite after the beating Donnie Ray gave him that when we served him with a court subpeona....He didn't even get mad....Said he'd be there." said Olivia..

Nelson cracked up laughing....

"Now we just have to get Frank Barber and we've got his alibi...The alibi we couldn't get in the last two trials...The alibi that would have helped the jury acquit Ellery." said Nelson.

"They say third time is the charm.."said Josie...

who had taken her heels off and was playfully playing footsie with her boyfriend, Paris..who was smiling while we chowed down..

Alfreda and Rockland were dining with us too.... Our friends walked in...

After weeks of having breakfast and dinner at our homes....and lunches delivered to their offices by UBER and Door Dash, they like us determined that tonight was a nice night to eat out at the diner...

"Hey Liv, Bev, guys." said Jazzy as she and her husband Dabnis walked in hand in hand..

"I see you guys had the same idea huh?" said Dabnis 

"Hola...."said Jessica Sanchez-Burrows

''After we eat...We can all walk this food off.."joked her husband, Chip...

''Where? to the parking lot?" laughed Kayla.

Ray laughed himself..

"What's good guys?" he said..

While we were enjoying our food, some friends of ours we hadn't seen in a few weeks walked in..

"Well look who it is....I thought you guys might be out of town.." said Beverly..

''Heyyyyyy guys.."said Josie.

''Besides court, we've been busy getting our new house together.."said Attorney Keith Jones.

''We are so excited about being your neighbors soon.." said Bee Bee..

"Yeah, we've started moving furniture already...Some furniture...."said Kahlil..

""Yessss..." said Sofia..

"I'm almost moved in....It's just a matter of time now."said a smiling Jade..

as hot platters arrived and they too began eating.

What was nice was that we were all eating and not being disturbed by Lt. Tragg...

"Lt. Tragg is happy...He actually made a good collar and he thinks ADA Harris has a good chance to beat us in this third trial and give him two good collars..I imagine he is in good spirits now of days..."said Olivia..

"He hasn't been ringing our doorbell lately..."laughed Alfreda...

We all finished our meals in relative peace and paid our bills... Something we hadn't done in a long time...

We all retreated to the parking lot, got in our cars and headed home..

ADA Yvonne Harris walked in...She put her pocketbook and her briefcase down...

She ordered a Cheeseburger

and a cup of coffee...

She would not be as fortunate as we were...

Lt. Tragg walked in......Saw Yvonne eating alone and invited himself to her table..

He ordered a large coffee

and a hot dog.....

He rubbed her legs.....She removed his hands before they could go up her skirt...

''What do you want?" she asked, irritated that he had invited himself to her table..

"As you know I arrested a guy named Dak Alexander a few days ago....For the murder of Kay Norman, the Attorney we found floating in the river..." he said..

"Yes, I saw you on television..." she said..

"He was in custody about two hours and I got a visit from Olivia Bennett-Alexander and Beverly West and company.."said Lt. Tragg.

"Almost as if they were anticipating his arrest." said Lt. Tragg.

Now he had her attention....

"WHAT??? They're representing this guy?" she asked incrdulously....She knew that the retrial of Ellery

Hammner began in three days...

"No, they are not representing him...They gave him a court subpeona....He is going to be a defense witness in The Ellery Hammner case.."said Lt. Tragg..

"Really? what does he have to do with my case?" asked ADA Harris.

"All I know is the woman he is accused of killing, Kay Norman, was both Hammner and his late wife, Elena's attorney....She was that alibi witness who never showed up.."said Lt. Tragg..

"That YOU were supposed to find.....Now she's dead....and get your hands from under my skirt.."she said, removing his hands...She tossed a few dollars on the table...

''Still I thought I'd give you a heads up, didn't want you to be blindsided..."said Lt. Tragg...

"I seem to remember another witness they subpeonaed who didn't show up...a Frank Barber...Have you found him?" asked ADA Harris.

"He appears to  have left the city."said Lt. Tragg..

"Do you have a BOLO out on him?" she asked... "Take your hand off my leg.." she said.

''A BOLO? He hasn't committed a crime."said Lt. Tragg.

"Refusing to show up in court after being served a lawful  subpeona is a crime Lt. Tragg." she said.

"I'll get on it....but I would hate to muddy the water...I'd hate to make things harder for your retrial....Doesn't that get me something?" he said , smiling sheepishly and leaning in for a kiss.

Yvonne diplomatically moved away...

"Thank you for the heads up....I want to be as transparent as possible..Find me Frank Barber..!Good Night Lieutinant ." she said and walked out...

into the early fall night...

Once more, at his townhouse, there was another knock on his door!

Judge Keith Morrison answered his door....He smiled upon seeing ADA Yvonne Harris..

"Oh My God!!!...Two nights in a row?? To what do I owe this honor?" he said.

"Keith, Can I- Can I stay with you tonight?" she asked..

He looked around and then pulled her inside.... He unzippered and helped her take her dress off..

He began kissing her passionately...

"Of course you can, did you think I was going to tell you no?" he said..

"No....I know you're a big horn dog...." she giggled...as she kissed him in the dark...

"I'm horny as hell for you right now.." he said..

"Ouuuuuuuuu Your honor...such nasty talk." she laughed..

"AWWWWWWWWWWW LAWWWWWWWWD!" he moaned...as she moved up and down on him...

The bed was squeaking loudly....The headboard was shaking as if it might come loose....

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, OHHHH GODDDD!!! OHHHHHHHHHHH!" the judge moaned...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she cooed as they made sweet love well into the night!
