Today was Bresha's wedding... We took time off from the murder case we were working on..To gussy up and get dressed for Bresha and Tony's wedding..This had been a big year for her , Graduated from Law School, Passed the bar..Met Olivia and us and interned with us, which led to a permanent job and was now getting married to her law school chum, Tony Billips and moving into a new house soon...Bresha was bubbling with excitement..
She had asked both Olivia and Ms. Yvette to both be her maids of Honor.. I don't think I had ever seen that done before..but she thought so highly of both women, she couldn't dream of asking one without the other..
They both served as her maids of honor.. Her bridesmaids were of course.. Beverly, Josie, Bee Bee, Sofia, Jade, Jazzy, Kayla, and Jessie.
Tony was there with his best man, Paris.
His groomsmen were Dabnis, Ray,Chip, Keith Jones,Kahlil and Nelson.
Gary and Danny Ho were ushers..
and me..Me?
I was walking the bride down the aisle, giving her away... Bresha's father was deceased and she had no living uncles...She said she considered me like a father to her...Now how was I going to tell her no?
I looked out in the audience..
Of course , Alfreda and Rockland was there.. Alfreda had taken a particular liking to Bresha...She thought of her, just as she thought of Josie as another daughter...She cried as if it was Beverly getting married.,
Kevin and his wife, Sepia was there..along with their daughter, Kimberly...
Our friends in law enforcement, Super Cops, Detectives Angie Belton -Barlow and her husband Detective James "Jimmy Barlow, Detective Carlotta Wallace and her husband, ADA Keith Wallace,Lovely Lt. Sissy Van Buren and her husband, Eddie C. , Detectives Sirena and Tyriq Pile,
Detective 'Edwin "Duke" Baylor and his wife, Coroner, Dr. Hazel Baylor, Detective Tony Hopkins and his wife, FVI/ATF Special Agent in Charge, Sharon Hopkins were there..
Also in the crowd was Zoey Easter and her husband Lem.
and of course our good friend ,Attorney Arthur Trout
and his girlfriend, Mandy..
rounding out the guests were
Bonnie Shay and her husband Ronnie
Did Bresha and Tony, have enough people at her wedding or what? Tony was an only child with an older brother, who was incarcerated.. Both of his parents were deceased..He had one aunt who attended..
We had become his family too, just as we had become Bresha's family...We made sure the church was packed.
Nina Rios and her mysterious plus one also attended..
After the wedding...We rented Mulberry Street for the reception..
Alfreda brought in her caterer..Who did his thing..
There was enough food for everybody represented there...
A good time was being had by all... We were all happy...We had sent Bresha and Tony off good.!
In another part of the city, a good time was not being had by all...
The funeral of Patrolman, William Flaherty was taking place.. It was a small crowd as police funerals go... The truth of the matter...He wasn't liked by that many cops...
Lt. Tragg stood fuming... "None of my detectives are here... Not Reed, Malloy...Not their Lieutenant, Danny Ho, Not Sissy, Tyriq, Duke, Sirena, Carlotta, Angie, Hop, That Barlow Kid,none of em...This is a disgrace..Good cop dies and none of em showed their faces..."he snarled..."You'd have thought some of the people from the District Attorney's office would have been here..." he said..
"That's alright...His wife, the one that killed him...She's goin down...Death Row baby...and I'm gonna be there when they stick the needle in her arm..." he snarled..
II-
SUNDAY MORNING-
It was the day after Bresha's wedding...Olivia and I were cooking breakfast for our sleepy guests.
"Ohhhh you know we gotta send you two off right." said Nelson..
Josie and Paris had spent the night over last night..Practically all of their stuff was across the street in their newly furnished home...Josie was going to be staying with us until she got married..She had already left her old residence..
"Boy was that a break.." said Nelson...
"You got a better judge too! One that definitely won't be worried about the color of your underwear."I said..
"How about that?" laughed Josie...We all laughed.
Olivia cracked some eggs and made omelletes..
I made some potatoes...
and tossed some Bacon On...
Olivia put on a pot of coffee
And as a treat...We had some Hot Crossed Buns that Alfreda had left behind for us..
It was a nice easy Sunday Morning Breakfast....A Nice easy Sunday Morning or so we thought..
Our doorbell was ringing....and there was banging on the door....
"LIV, OPEN UP!! WE NEED TO TALK....YOU ARE MAKING A BIG MISTAKE DEFENDING THIS COP KILLER...THAT WAS A DAMN GOOD COP!!!" he bellowed....
He was waking up all of our neighbors...
"HEY MANNN, GO TO BED!!" bellowed Dabnis..
From across the street.. He was on the corner of the block that was caty cornered to us...
"SHUT UP! GET OUT OF HERE!" yelled Ray
from across the street..
"YOU ALL GO TO HELL!" Lt. Tragg yelled.. "I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT A FORMER ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY WOULD JOIN FORCES WITH YOU BUNCH OF AMBULANCE CHASING ATTORNEYS TO TAKE ON A LOSER CASE LIKE THIS...THAT WAS A DAMN GOOD COP." He continued to bellow.
"YOU KNOW...THERE IS NO MYSTERY THAT SHE DID IT!! SHE CALLED THE COPS AND STAYED THERE..HER PRINTS ARE ALL OVER HIS SERVICE REVOLVER!" he snarled loudly.
Beverly and Josie looked out the window...
"I'm afraid he is.." I said, also looking out the window.
''Pass me the phone Nelson....Up until now I've given him a break...but this is too much, It's early Sunday Morning and he is NOT going to make it a habit of coming to my home and harrassing me on a day when I'm not at work...He is on C& D." said Olivia..
"He's Out of his damn mind ,this early in the morning." said Dabnis.
''He's on C& D....Give me the phone."said Jazzy
"Mannnnn I'm one minute from knocking him on his ass."said Ray...
"Give me the phone." said Kayla.
"What is C& D?" asked Paris..
"That means Cease and Desist...He's not supposed to be 100 feet near any of us ,unless he has a warrant or a court summons..He's not supposed to be in this neighborhood period." said Nelson..
as he passed Olivia the phone..
Dabnis and Jazzy made the same call unknown to us.. So did Kayla and Ray...
Jessica and Chip also made a call...
''He has gone too far now..It's Sunday Morning." said Jessica.
'Under arrest? For what?" he bellowed...
She was mortified when the Uhaul truck
.
"Give me the phone." said Chip.
Without knowing all of that...I knew that this was going to go bad.....For Lt. Tragg..
A Philadelphia Sherrif's vehicle pulled up....
Two Deputy Sherrif's , one Black, One white got out of the car...
"Lieutenant ....I'm sorry to have to do this..but we have to place you under arrest." said the white one..
"You're in violation of several C& D orders...You're not supposed to be on this block at all without a warrant or court summons...We've received four calls complaining about you." said the Black Sherrif's Deputy, who patted him down, took his service revolver and his badge and then handcuffed him..
"I'm under arrest?? I'm a Lieutenant, A Lieutenant of Homicide...YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!" screamed Lt. Tragg...
They hustled him to the cruiser and put him in...
The Cruiser pulled off with Lt. Tragg in tow... He had been warned and he had scorned the C&D warning several times without repercussions...but not this time..
He wound up in the cooler. His arrival was met with loud hoots and laughter by the prisoners there who recognized him...This had to go down as the most humiliating moment of his life..
It had been a bad weekend for Lt. Tragg...
He had had a Uhaul truck come to Special Prosecutor Maureen 'Reeny" Thomas's condo..
carted her broken bed out... Her neighbors saw it and gasped and giggled a bit...
He had once again spoken to his friend Phil from Sleepys and had
a brand new smart bed delivered to her with a memory foam mattress.
She thanked him for getting the new bed back to her promptly....but told him they were NOT going to "test it out " or "break it in" She told him that one night they had together was just that...ONE NIGHT and that there were not going to be any repeats...
He walked away Livid...calling her an "ungrateful bitch"amongst other things..
He had nowhere to go...
Nowhere but here, The "Cooler"..
We stood outside talking with our neighbors..
''He's come by here during the week, ringing the doorbell and banging on the door and usually we just ignore him and he goes away...But this was too much...A Sunday Morning, when we were eating breakfast...I wasn't having it.. I made the call.." said Olivia.
''It had to be done." I said.
"It's bad enough he hassles us in Sam Mother's Diner and Curley's Bar.. but coming by here on a Sunday Morning was just too much." said Beverly..
"Yeah, maybe if we make that call enough times, he'll stop."said Nelson.
"He needs psychiatric attention." said Josie.
''He's trippin." said Paris.
"Mannnnnnn I couldn't believ this guy...Me and Jazzy were asleep and he woke us up with all that yellin."said Dabnis.
"I wondered if you guys were going to make the call....but I certainly did!" said Jazzy...
"I made a call too!" said Chip...
"He earned himself a nice little visit to the "Cooler" said Jessica.
"I was there...it wasn't pretty."laughed Jessica.
"I wish I had been there when that guy, Deke Richards knocked his ass out cold...That was classsic." said Ray.
"That's the same guy who came to me and Bresha's rescue when he was bellowing at us in Curley's the other night.." said Kayla.
''Vettie told me that he and Deke got into a fight in Sam Mother's place and Deke knocked him out.." said Olivia..
III-
We stood outside Courtroom D ..
"I'm an 11:00 am guy myself...Mannn, I'm nit used to these 8:00 am hearings....I hope the Preliminary hearing is later.." said Nelson...
"Here, this should wake everybody up.." I said passing each a tumbler of coffee.
before laying a sweet, soft kiss on my lips....
"Good Morning guys and gals... I don't miss this.." she sighed with a smile..
We all chuckled as we sipped our coffee.
A Philadelphia Sherrif's Cruiser , much like the one that took Lt. Tragg away yesterday drove up..
We were meeting before activist Judge, Elise Cummings, who we had once represented and was no fan of Lt. Tragg's..She knew of his involvement in the case...
She argued eloquently all the reasons she thought that Kathryn should be held in custody for an hour and a half..It was almost like a fillibuster..
Olivia, Nina Rios, Beverly, Nelson and Josie argued just as long that this woman was terrified enough..
They came with graphic photos of Kathryn's face with black eyes, swollen and discolored cheeks and X Rays of when her collarbone had been broken last year... They brought up the 127 domestic complaints against her husband...Their argument was.. A trial and a reckoning was coming soon...No need for her to be further tortured and humiliated by being locked up... They argued she was not a flight risk.
Judge Clemmons was horrified at the photos alone...She granted Kathryn $10,000.00 bail..
The Women's Law Center was behind her 100 percent.They gave Nina a Blank check and she wrote it out for $1000.00 and passed it to the bailiff....
She wept openly and she hugged and thanked all of us...
And Just like that, the handcuffs were taken off Kathryn Flaherty and she was a free woman...
"THANK YOU ALL SOOO MUCH!!! I CAN'T ...I CAN'T GO BACK TO THAT HOUSE!!!" she said..
"This is a Portal....We will communicate with you through this from our conference room."said Nelson..
''I'm familliar with this." said Kathryn.
"I guess with Lt. Tragg around...one has to be careful..."said Kathryn... "By the way...I'm surprised he wasn't at this hearing today...Guess it was too early in the morning for him huh?" she laughed.
"Ahhhhhhhh noooo, he's here....He's upstairs....He's been here all night...He's in the "Cooler"...He was arrested yesterday for violating several cease and desist orders." I said..
For the first time in a long time..Kathryn laughed....
"This is a burner phone...we'll be able to communicate with you more directly with this and it's s clean, it can't be compromised." said Josie.
"Oh My God...He's locked up and I'm free...Oh My god , that is sooo funny.." she laughed..
Nelson, Josie and I cracked up laughing.
IV-
"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm, all for you husband.." she cooed..
"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Myyyyyyyyy!" I said..
We sat on the side of the bed, kissing, while she moved up and down on me..
and then for the next EIGHT TO NINE HOURS, we were in bed ,making slow, sweet love..
I pulled her to me and dropped my trousers...slipped her panties down
Hiked her babydoll up and bent her over the sink..
"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!" she moaned as I entered her.. "You've been wanting to do this all day haven't you? I saw the way you were starin at me in court.." she said.
"Yesssssssss!" I moaned as we went at it hard for about AN HOUR!
"UMMMMMMMMMMMMPH!" I moaned...
"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU" she cooed softly..
"YES.....YES....YESSSSSSSss..OHHH YESSSSSS!" Olivia cooed as we wound up on the living room floor for another HOUR....
I lifted her petite body up and began long stroking her..
"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU....UMMMMMMM...OHHHHH DONNIE RAYYYY...OUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!! YOU ARE ALL UP IN THIS...OUUUUU WOUUUU!!" she moaned..gasping for breath... Another HOUR passed by..
She took me by the hand into our bedroom where we undressed..
riding me slowly...while I stared into her lovely hazel brown eyes...
We could rest tomorrow...
Downstairs, Nelson and Beverly
were on the couch kissing until they couldn't stand it anymore...
Boxers, panties and bras came off
Josie and Paris didn't stay with us tonight...They were blocks away in Paris's nearly empty apartment..
"OHHHHHHH JO, YOU ARE DRIVING ME CRAZY!" moaned Paris..
and he lifted her petite body up and long stroked her in the corner...Beverly's loud howls of pleasure resonated outside the window..
"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU NELSON, YOU HITTIN MY SPOTS....OUUUUUU!!!"
she moaned..
"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH BEVERLYYYYYY!! UMMMMMMMMMMM!" he moaned.
They never made it to their bedroom , they wound up making slow and sweet love on their living room couch once again or the next EIGHT TO NINE HOURS....
Josie and Paris didn't stay with us tonight...They were blocks away in Paris's nearly empty apartment..
"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU PARIS....YOU'RE DRIVING ME CRAZY TOOO!" she moaned..
"MANNNN, I CAN'T WAIT TIL WE MARRIED AND WE CAN DO THIS ALL NIGHT!" he said..
"AND IN THE PRIVACY OF OUR OWN HOME...YOU WON'T EVER HAVE TO LEAVE!" Josie said.
"YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS" he moaned..
Josie giggled... "You're so silly..."
They continued , Screwing each other's brains out for the next NINE TO TEN HOURS!
Productive Day and Even more Productive Night!
