Rabbit Holes

TWO DAYS LATER-

We were in Judge Wong's courtroom for the exhumation hearing...

Judge Wong had seen a lot of us...She wasn't exactly linient...but she was fair..She knew her law..And we could expect her to be by the book.

which is why Olivia drilled into her protoge's Nelson and Beverly to be prepared...Preparation, Preparation, Preparation.... and they likewise were drilling this into Josie and Bresha.

Preparation, Preparation, Preparation... All day long before this hearing they looked up predicates , trial testimony from other hearings and laws around this...They studied the revised Autopsy findings...They were ready...

They sat at a long table with Tyrell and Myself..

Across the room from us sat opposing counsel and our one time client, Karen Walker,

The Attorney who would be a comedian..

With her was Tyrell's Older Brother.

Jarell Johnson..who immediately caught both Bresha and Josie;s attention...

"Ouuuuu he's cute!" whispered Bree to Josie..

"Yes he isssss." Josie agreed..

and His Father, Jarell Johnson sr.

"Pops isn't bad either for an older guy.."whispered Josie..

"No he isn't.""whispered Bree, giggling.. 

Bree's phone vibrated...She peered at it..

It was from Pinkney....

He had called her 12 times since she last saw him two days before... He seemed almost obsessed with her she thought.

II-

It was a good thing that Olivia told her young protoge's to come prepared because Attorney Karen Walker came prepared with a slew of arguments as to why the exhumation was unneccesary and should not be allowed..She had predicates and trial transcripts up the ying yang..

She was a lousy comedian...but as an Attorney, she was top notch.

Olivia, Beverly and Nelson were no slouches either as she knew from personal experience and they came loaded for bear...with their own set of predicates and trial history and transcripts to the contrary...

Jerell Jr. and Senior glared angrily at 

younger sibling Tyrell....Tears welled up in his eyes, but he ignored all of it...

Bree and Josie delivered the killshot...The original Autopsy report and the revised Autopsy report with testimony by 

Doc Gibbons.

and Dr. Hazel Baylor of the Medical Examiner's Office....

"You both have made very compelling arguments...Very compelling.. But I tend to agree with the plaintiffs in this case...This case has enough discrepancies to indeed have another look see..So I am ruling that the exhumation take place within a week from today and a second autopsy be performed..."said Judge Wong.

"YES!" said Josie, pumping her fists..

''We did it Auntay!" said Beverly..

"That's only a third of the battle won ladies...There is still much work to be done."said Olivia.

"Liv is right..."said Nelson..

"I'm going to start my investigation right away." I said.

''We've got company guys."said Bresha.

It was Jerel Johnson Jr. he walked over to us..

"Ms. Olivia, Ms. Beverly, Mr. East....I remember you guys...I remember when you were my brother's lawyers years ago when he was in and out of trouble...He'd be in prison right now if not for you guys and for that I am grateful, our whole family is grateful, but can't you see what he's doing? He's dragging you down this rabbit hole with him that's not going to lead anywhere.. Our father did not kill our mother..My brother is a slave to drama... This is meaningless..You guys have nothing, nothing but pure speculation."said Jerel Johnson Jr.

"Then you got nothing to worry about...Let us see this through." I said.

"It's a waste of your good time..Good time you guys could be using to defend someone who might really need defending."said Jerell.

''What are you afraid of brother? That I might be right?" said Tyrell.

"YOU?  Right about something?  HA!  That would be a first." said Jerell.

"Jerell, let us see this through....Don't you want to know the truth?" asked Olivia.

"I know the truth...My mom fell and hit her head on the marble floor in the kitchen...Plain as day.."said Jerell.

"How can you be sure, unless you were there.?"asked Beverly...

"Because I know my father and my mother....I thought I knew my brother before today."snarled Jarell, walking away...

I could see that the sibling rivalry ran deep between them...

"Pay him no mind.." said Tyrell.

Bree's phone vibrated again..

She looked irritated..

"Excuse me, I have to take this."she said.

Josie and Nelson watched her as she walked out of the courtroom.

III-

''Where is Bree ? asked Olivia, looking around..

''She went out that door."said Josie pointing.

"She had a phone call that she said she had to take." said Nelson.

"I'm bettin it's Pinkney....She said he's been blowing up her phone..We saw him yesterday...He was begging worse than Keith Sweat... Bree told him to step off."said Beverly..

"As well she should.."said Olivia.

''Let's go upstairs, grab some lunch...She'll know where to find us." I said. as we filed out of the courtroom .

Just as we were leaving we ran into Attorney/Comedian-Karen Walker.

''Well hey guys..I wanted to talk to you in Josie's ,but I looked around and you were gone."she said.

''We wanted to uh beat the late night traffic...You know, uh everybody rushing to the parking lot." said Nelson..

That didn't come out right at all..

Beverly buried her head into the back of my suit jacket and was trying to hide her laughter...tears were running from her eyes..I could feel the mositure through my suit..

Olivia and Josie stood beside me, smiling...

"I'm glad you guys came and brought your other friends..At least I got a laugh out of you guys...That was a tough crowd..I don't know if they were too liquored up or what...Couldn't get a smile out of em..That damn Gus told me that he didn't want me back in there...Can you believe that?  But look..Here are tickets for you guys and some extras...I'll be perfoming at Mulberry street.. Opening for Reed Nelson, in two weeks, Come out and see me.. I've got a whole new act...Oh and you guys did good in there today, like I knew you would...See you later." she said and ran out of the courtroom..

"Ohhhhh lordddd!" sighed Nelson..."Is she for real?  She's a great Attorney, why does she feel the need to do comedy?" he asked.

Beverly and her Auntie ,Olivia were holding each other and laughing so hard, tears were running from both of their eyes..They were literally shaking, they were laughing so hard!

Josie was laughing too..

I spotted Bree on the phone...I motioned to her that we were going to the dining room to eat...

She nodded as we headed for the elevator...Then she continued talking..

"Look, I'm humoring you right now..I don't want anything else to do with you...You're a cheater and a drug addict...Two things I can't and won't abide with..." she said.

"I'm in the Judges Chambers right now...My pants are down to my ankles...just waiting for you...You remember how good it felt...I'm asking you to think about that and come in here and let's do it one last time....Come on baby....please?" he begged..

She was getting aroused ,despite herself..She was remembering their first night together...

He clapped his hands and the lights dimmed in the room..

He leaned over and began kissing her passionately... This guy who had been the perfect gentleman up until tonight was certainly not shy at all, He was very aggressive...She didn't mind..At one point she had wondered if he might be gay, he had seemed so timid.....Tonight, .She was certain now that he wasn't.. She returned his passion...

She began to take her clothes off, until she was down to her panties and bra..

She had bought a new panty and bra set for this night from Bridget Jones's store... ....

Pinkney's eyes popped out of his head upon seeing her in her panties and bra...She giggled..

He unzippered his trousers and stepped out of them, his socks and his shoes...

She noticed his boxers were sticking out like a circus tent...She gasped.. "Ohhhh my god..."

 He slipped his boxers off...She softly stroked his penis.. "Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmph" he moaned... 

 "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Pinkney...ouuuuuuu you're a horse amongst ponies...."she said..

 "Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.."he moaned as she softly stroked his bulging penis... She laughed a little..

They stood in the middle of the floor kissing and holding each other.....Bresha trembling a little.

They stood in the middle of the floor ,kissing slowly....softly..

.She allowed herself to softly stroke his penis... "Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Easy Pinkney, Easyyyyy."she cooed....

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Pinkney.Ohhhhhhhhh my godddd...Ummmmmmm, you are so hard!!...Ouuuuuu lawd!" she whispered... 

 In no time , They were lying on the bed.... Pinkney entered Bresha softly, gently...She was wet and warm...He was losing his mind...as he began to move up and down slowly at first and then gradually faster... "Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu PINKNEY!!!..Ohhhhhhhhh my godddd!!" she moaned... 

 NINE TO TEN  HOURS of lovemaking continued...He had come prepared for this night..He had taken a Cialis and drank a mini water before imbibing the wine..

The bed had been squeaking loudly and the headboard was moving and silently slamming against the wall.

Bresha managed to experience three to four orgasms....She wondered if he was on something...He didn't seem like he wanted to stop..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU PINKNEYYYYYY...OHHHHHHHHH!" she moaned as he plowed into her doggie style on the floor...

This was the moment he had been waiting for since he had first laid eyes on her ,waiting for Olivia and Beverly outside the courtroom...He was so glad it wasn't Yvette Jones and crew she had been waiting for.. His history with them was somewhat spotted he thought..

She sat on him and moved up and down...Kissing him softly...and having another intense orgasm..

He was again on top of her thrusting away......and finally cumming like a gusher....

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!" he moaned...

She cuddled up under his arms...She felt good, she felt loved...This was too good to be true she thought..

She wondered if he were really in the Judges Chambers...She thought about having one last quickie with him for the road...but then again...There was never one last anything with Pinkney..Could she afford to go back down that Rabbit hole with him? 

She stood in the hallway pondering if she should go in the Judges Chambers...when someone beat her to it..Judge Wong!

"OHHHHHHHHHH MYYYY GODDDDDD!!! YOU NASTY BUZZARD!!!! PULL YOUR PANTS UP!!! PUT THAT THING AWAYYY!!! OHHHHH YOU NEED HELP, GET OUT...GET OUTT!!!

GET OUTT!!!OHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" she screamed..

Just a few weeks ago she had caught Lt. Tragg and a U.S. Attorney on her couch making love and now she had caught the embattled former Judge in her chambers with his trousers to his ankles , erect as a tent.. 

He needed help, he was a pervert!! she thought!!

Pinkney Bach pulled up his Boxers and zipped his trousers...He ran out of the office hurriedly...

Bresha laughed her head off...

She came upstairs and told us what happened..

Beverly, Josie, Nelson, Olivia and I laughed our heads off, what a day this had been!

IV-

ONE WEEK LATER-

Mrs. Mary Johnson, the mother of Tyrell and Jerell Johnson Jr. and wife of Jerell Johnson Sr's remains were exhumed..

Jerell Johnson Jr. walked over to us..

"Olivia Bennett-Alexander, Beverly West-East, Donnie Ray Alexander, Josie Boyd and Nelson East..I want you to know, I plan to issue a lawsuit to sue the five of you....The Only reason I'm not suing you Ms. Williams is because I know you're just interning with them...when I'm through, they won't have enough money to pay you...They'll have to sell that Duplex-Office they live in..They'll be flat broke." he said.

"That's provided you win." said Beverly, who now had a distaste for him..

''Don't forget, we are lawyers too..and we can defend ourselves"said Nelson.

''Don't argue with him...that's pain talking."said Olivia.

"He hasn't got the money to hire a lawyer to sue you guys...He's got two failed businesses that have already gone belly up and another one on the brink of bankruptcy...He's a lost cause....Pay him no mind."said Tyrell.

"WHY YOU JEALOUS LITTLE TWIT!! WHAT HAVE YOU GOT??? NOTHIN!!!" Jerell snarled and lunged at his brother ..

I got in between them...

"GUYS!!! GUYS!!! COOL IT!!" I said..

"This is such a tragedy ...This is tearing a whole family apart" said Josie..

"This family was torn apart long before this." said Bresha.

Doc Gibbons and Dr. Hazel Baylor were there supervising the exhumation and making sure the casket was put in the hearse....

Attorney Karen White walked over to us..

''Well I've been fired...This makes two times this week." she said matter of factly...

''What are you talking about?" asked Nelson.

''Well I lost my gig at Josie's...Gus had me yanked off the stage before I finished my set..You guys had already left,so you didn't see it.  And Now this clown, Jerell Johnson Jr. said he wasn't pleased that I failed to stop this and no longer wants my services...Good riddance...He was  a pain in the ass anyway..I just came to see it that's all."she said.

"His loss....You were good in that courtroom.."said Beverly...

''But not good enough...You guys won!"said Karen.

''Hey, you win some, lose some..every lawyer knows that."said Olivia..

"Yeah I know.. I happen to win more than I lose..I'm one of the top Attorneys at my firm..I'm close to making Senior Associate ...but now that I don't have to work on this case...I have more time to work on my comedy act...Be sure to come out to Mulberry Street in two weeks.I'm opening for Reed Nelson..See you guys." she said smiling as she walked away.

''Denial aint just a river in Egypt!" I said.

Olivia, Beverly and Josie laughed at that remark.

"Any more calls or texts from Pinkney?" asked Nelson..

"No ,I think he's moved on from me.. I hope he has.." said Bresha.

"Hope Springs Eternal Baby!" said Olivia to Bree.
