World Of Trouble

 At her stylish condo, Attorney Brenda Jordan answered her door..

''What are you doing here?  Your girlfriend cut you off, because she's working a case and needs to concentrate?" she laughed.

"I needed to see you that's all." was all Lt. Tragg was going to say... Everything Brenda ascertained was true, but he wasn't going to admit it..

He walked in without being invited ,,,

Kissed her passionately

and hiked her skirt up...

He tried to slip her panties down...She removed his hands and broke out of his embrace..

"Heyyyyyyyy hold up... We had a nice little fling during my trial, but I thought it was understood that it was with no strings attached.. I'm not your girlfriend or your side piece..." said Brenda.

Lt. Tragg stood there and then turned to leave...She took his hand...

"But since you're here and we've gotten started...we uh might as well uh finish..." she said seductively..

"VA VA VA VOOOOOOOOOOM!" said Lt. Tragg..

As they retreated to her bedroom and for the fourth time began making sweet love..

"OHHHHHHHHHH ARTHURRRRRRRRRR!!! UMMMMMMMMM!" she moaned..

"AWWWWWWWW SWEEEET BABBBBYYYYYY!" he moaned..

"OUUUUUUUUUU UMMMMMMMMMMM MEOWWWWWWW!" she cooed as they gave her bed a good work out!

And meanwhile in our new building 

and new conference room/law library...

Bee Bee and Sofia were busy researching laws and predicates and looking up like cases..

''Despite all of this..on essence all we have is Barney's depiction of what happened." said Bee Bee.

"The alleged crime scene was wiped clean and we don't have a witness or any physical evidence to dispute Barney's story or confirm it." said Sofia.

''Yeah, but neither does the prosecution...We might try to get all charges dropped for lack of evidence."I said.

"That's not a bad idea..what do you think Ms. Yvette..The Preliminary hearing is tomorrow." said Kahlil.

"I could try to run that by McCafferty...He doesn't want to lose another case and look foolish...Lt. Tragg has absolutely nothing here." sighed Yvette.

''White Boy Rick is still out there. somewhere..He's the other witness we know about." said Jade.

And in Kensington-

Richard Rubino Jr. aka "White Boy Rick" was enjoying breakfast.

He hadn't been seen in a few days.. He was starving...he gulped down his breakfast with wild abandoned... he looked up and saw three familliar faces.

"HOLA RICKY...It's been a long time." said Detective Carlotta Rodriguez-Wallace.

''A lot of people are interested in seeing you Ricky about a lot of things." said Detective Jimmy Barlow.

"Go ahead, finish your breakfast...We'll wait...Then you're going downtown with us." said Detective Tyriq Pile..

Ricky looked up..He saw a battallion of armed policemen.. Outside, three of his bodyguards and three perspective customers were all in handcuffs...

Carlotta's phone rang..

It was Sirena, Detective Sirena Pile

and her partner, Detective Tony Hopkins.

"Hey Lotta, Me and Hop arrested three girls who were at the house that night and a guy, Primo Williams...Primo Williams  is the guy on the video driving the car from the house on B. Street." said Sirena..

''Good,I got another call...Hello." said Carlotta,.

It was Detective Duke Baylor and his partner, Detective Angie Belton-Barlow.

"Hey Top...It's me Duke.

Angie and I , Narcotics and Vice arrested 39 of White Boy Rick's associates ,this morning. The streets in Fishtown and Kensington are going to be dry today and for awhile.. We found the stash houses too!" said Duke.

"Great!  Okay Ricky....Time to go." said Carlotta..  

He was astonished....He got no forewarning...He was read his rights and handcuffed..Charged with multiple  Drug  and Conspiracy to distribute illegal controlled  substance charges .

D.A.'s investigator Gary Lockwood called his wife..

''Vettie, good news.. The cops picked up White Boy Rick and his entire organization... Part of an ongoing drug operation.. White Boy Rick is at C.I.D. headquarters, the rest of the gang is in Central Booking..But you might want to get to C.I. D. with some subpeonas...ASAP." said Gary,

"That's the best news I've heard all morning...Gary, I love you so much...Thank you."said Yvette.

"I expect to be duly compensated this afternoon after work." said Gary..

"Oh but of course." said Yvette.

II-

We arrived at C.I. D. headquarters in record time...

Lt. Danny Ho had beat us there.. He was there to formally charge White Boy Rick with the murder of bailiff Christopher Dougherty...

We arrived with a Subpoena

for him to testify as a defense witness in the trial of Barney Dreschler..

And Deputy Special Agent in Charge of the FBI and ATF, Sharon Hopkins laid RICO charges on him.

White Boy Rick was in a world of trouble..Charged in a Joint C.I.D./Narcotics and Vice investigation of numerous Drug and Conspiracy Charges, Hit with Rico Charges by the Feds and Murder Charges by Robbery-Homicide, he now was subpoenaed by us as a witness in another murder case... Add to that that about 44 of his associates had also been arrested and his stash houses found...This was the worst day of his life.

"I can't tell you how long this guy has eluded us....." said a jubilant Lt. Sissy Van Buren.

''And then when we finally nab him...The whole world wants him."laughed ADA Keith Wallace.

"Well we certainly needed to see somebody that knew about this case...You got em all." said Ms. Yvette.

"Get Subpoenas ready for those three girls... I have them in custody...Hurry up and get to me by this afternoon." said Lt. Danny Ho.

Bee, Bee, Sofia, Kahlil and I handed him a subpoena a piece for each girl and the driver of Barney's car..

"Gee Yvette, your young lawyers are sharp...Sharper than detectives under my command." laughed Lt. Danny Ho.

"They are sharp aren't they?" laughed Ms. Yvette, who looked at us like a proud mother.

''Well, this ended up pretty good."said Ms. Jade.

At the office of Assistant District Attorney Cal McCafferty..

Lt. Tragg came in whistling...

''You sent for me?" he asked, smiling.

"WHERE THE DEVIL HAVE YOU BEEN? Did you know that since I last saw you.. Rick Rubino Jr, aka "White Boy Rick" the owner of the building where Drescher claims the murder took place has been arrested...??" said ADA McCafferty.

"ARRESTED ? BY WHO?? THIS WAS MY INVESTIGATION" protested Lt. Tragg.

"By Lt. Sissy Van Buren and her elite detectives of the C.I.D. ,along with Narcotics and Vice...He's a known drug dealer...They got him on Drug Charges. The Feds wasted no time putting RICO charges on him and Lt. Danny Ho charged him with the murder of Bailiff Christopher Dougherty.." said ADA Cal McCafferty.

"Okay." said Lt. Tragg..

"Did you also know that Yvette Jones and her four young attorneys subpoened him and three of his female associates and a male, also arrested in that early morning sting.. They are now privy to more info than I am concerning this case.. If you had been on top of this like I asked you...We'd be privy to this...Once again you have fouled up my case.' said Cal McCafferty testily...

April Taylor was there...Lt. Tragg was embarrassed being upbraided in front of her...

He was angry at her for not letting him sleep with her the past few nights... (she never slept with him when she was working on a big case..He hated that.) He angrilly stormed out of the building..

He angrilly stormed into our building and up to our old suite ,which was empty...He hadn't heard about Ms. Yvette's promotion and the fact that we had moved..

No one had taken over our suite yet, so it was empty and locked..

He angrilly stormed out of our old building, hoping to catch us at dinner, but that wasn't going to happen either.

We were many blocks away..

Safe from him...in our nice comfortable new cafeteria.

We were enjoying a nice comfortable meal with our friends ,neighbors and building mates, Jessica , Chip, Jazzy, Dabnis, Tony, Kayla, Ray and Karen Page...

III-

Officer Frank Hatfield's phone rang...

"YO! " he said.

'Don't yo me..where was the heads up mannn?" said White Boy Rick.

"What are you talkin about?" said Frank Hatfield..

"You haven't heard?  The Cops busted me this morning..The C.I.D, Narcos, Vice all busted about 43 of my associates and the Feds got into too...They got me for Conspiracy and Drug charges and RICO charges man, but that aint the half of it... They got me on a murder rap...That knucklehead, Chris Dougherty...YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO GIVE ME A HEADS UP.....I've paid you a lot of money over the years....THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE MANNNN!" screamed White Boy Rick, "THIS WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN!" he screamed.

"They must have kept this close to the vest...I didn't see anything about it in the 20's this morning and my girl over at the office where the warrants are sent out didn't call me at all...I swear, I woulda told ya..Don't I always Rick...Damn man, I'm sorry." said Frank.

"Oh you're sorry alright... I been subpeonaed by Drescher's lawyers...I don't plan on adding perjury to my multiple charges....You get me out of this or else I sing like New Edition man... I tell em about the murderous type favor I did for you eh? Your ex-wife huh?" said White Boy Rick...

''What can I do?" asked Officer Hatton.

"Drescher's out on bail....Find him, make sure he don't make it to trial..That gets me out of the murder rap...otherwise....They'll hear all about YOUR PART IN ALL THIS PARTNER.." said White Boy Rick.

Officer Frank Hatton was nervous...He had to find out where our client was... But how could he without tipping his hand?

He was no longer at the hotel... Sissy Van Buren and her detectives had him safely stashed away in their safehouse.. We didn't know exactly where he was.

The Preliminaries began and ended within a week...

We appeared in court with our client and argued our case without calling any witnesses...

The trial began , a few days later...

ADA's Cal McCafferty and April Taylor argued their case that there was no proof that Drescher's story of being drugged during a poker game in Fishtown was  true.. There was no proof , no proof that such a meeting even took place..

They didn't know it but they were playing right into our hands..

Once again, we were in Judge Michael King's courtroom...

Lt. Tragg was still being handsy with ADA April Taylor..

She was no longer amused or horny...She was completely focused on this trial and she removed his hands several times before slapping him...

"OOOOF" he groaned , falling out of his seat...

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOIN ON OVER THERE?" asked Judge King.

ADA Cal McCafferty just shook his head in exasperation..

Our defense began... Ms. Yvette, Bee Bee and Sofia called the three young women , who were at the party... They testified under oath that yes they were indeed at a party with Defendent Drescher and  the murder victim, Brenda Hatfield , and the now murdered Chris Dougherty.. That they were all smoking joint and drinking beer... Only they were drinking bottles of beer that were in an ice chest... Dreschler and Brenda Hatfield were drinking out of a pitcher.. White Boy Rick instructed them not to drink out of the pitcher.. he said that was just for Dreschler and Hatfield, who they didn't know.. All three girls testified that as the night went on, Brenda Hatfield got sick and so did Dreschler and pretty soon, both passed out.. Chris Dougherty produced a pistol and fired a shot into the nearly dead Brenda Hatfield..

Everybody was shocked.. They said White Boy Rick took the gun from Dougherty and beat him senseless... They were all afraid...All of the male poker players quietly left the premises.. Rick instructed his main man ,Primo Williams to get rid of both bodies... He thought they both were deceased. Primo and Chris Dougherty loaded both bodies into the car and pulled off..

They didn't know what happened to Chris Dougherty... They said they never saw him again..

Despite blistering cross examination by April Taylor, who was not prepared for this at all, All three girls stuck to their story, which mirrored Barney Dreschler's story...

Kahlil questioned Primo Williams and on a 64 inch monitor  showed the jury, footage of Primo Williams and Chris Dougherty loading the bodies of the unconscious Barney Dreschler and the now deceased Brenda Hatfield..

Primo Williams testified that Chris Dougherty was enamored with White Boy Rick...Off duty ,he tried to dress like him, talk like him, carry himself like him...He said that White Boy Rick's cop friend wanted his estranged wife, who was in the process of divorcing him and her boyfriend, a bailiff knocked off.. Rick instructed them to attend the poker party... They came and they drank beers from a pitcher that was laced with morphine... No one knew Chris Dougherty had stolen Drescher's gun...And everybody was surprised when Dougherty shot Brenda Hatfield.. She may have already been dead.. And they thought Dreschler was dead..

After giving Dougherty the beating of his life..White Boy Rick instructed both of them to dispose of the bodies. They loaded them both in the car and pushed it into the river he said.

This was bombshell testimony that made the jury gasp!!

ADA Cal McCafferty cross examined him, but he stuck to his story...He already knew that this was not going to go well for him... He glared angrilly at Lt. Tragg... His failure to look at the Street cam footage , which would have proven that Barney Drescher was telling the truth was unforgivable..

Next I got to cross examine White Boy Rick....

He was only too happy to testify...He told us that Brenda Hatfield's husband, Officer Frank Hatfield wanted her dead and her boyfriend, Bailiff, Barney Drescher dead....He told him how to set it up..

He supplied the morphine they laced the beer with...They were supposed to be poisoned and burried somewhere.. Nobody knew Chris Dougherty was going to start shooting he said.

I asked him if he killed Chris Dougherty...

He took the fifth as I expected... Didn't matter, he had said what we needed to be said.

Ms. Yvette closed our defense's case..

"I am 100 percent certain we will get an acquittal.." said Sofia.

''Oh Most definitely..." I said.

"Ouuuuuuuuuu I imagine somebody won't be gettin any sweet lovin tonight." said Bee Bee.

Kahlil laughed..

So did Jade... They  were looking at ADA April Taylor..

She was looking at Lt. Tragg with disdain... He had really goofed this case up... She was just glad she wasn't First chair in this case..

Lt. Tragg looked like he had swallowed a canary.

Our client looked over at Lt. Tragg and smiled.

IV-

THIRTY MINUTES LATER-

"Your honor ,in light of the testimony we have heard here, The people move to drop all charges against Bernard Dreschler...We believe ,along with the defense that a great injustice has been done here." said ADA Cal McCafferty... I could look at him and tell he hated doing this, but he had no choice..

''So Moved...This trial is over...Mr. Dreschler, you are free to go." said Judge King.

"YES!" said Barney Dreschler, he hugged Yvette, Jade, Bee Bee and Sofia.

"Thanks to my great legal team.." he said.

"You can thank the staff of thr courtroom you work for..They raised the money and paid our fees." said Ms. Yvette.

"Learn from this Barney, No More married women."said Ms. Jade.

''Especially if they're married to cops."joked Bee Bee.

"Si, meet some women outside of the courtroom."joked Sofia.

"Think he will?" Kahlil asked me.

"Personally ! No.." I said and we both laughed..

"I WON'T FORGET THIS!" snarled ADA Cal McCafferty..

Lt. Tragg looked sick on his stomach..

ADA April Taylor had already exited the courtrooom....Leaving Lt. Tragg

once again with egg on his face...

Nightfall..

Ms. Yvette was at home..

She sat on the side of the bed in her red baby doll..

Gary smiled..

"Look at my girl, Won her first case as a Managing Partner.. My sexy boss lady.." he said.

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuu"laughed Yvette.. ''Come here, time for your reward."she cooed.

She and Gary began kissing passionately...He ran his hands deep into her panties ,squeezing her buttocks.. 

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" he moaned.

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM" she moaned..

She slipped off her Black lacy lacy thong..Gary was delirious by this point.

He lifted her up and long stroked her..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU HUSBAND...OUUUUUUUUUUWEEEEEEE!" she moaned..

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH..OHHHHHHHHHH MY GODDDDDD!" he cried out..

"Ouuu Gary, what has gotten into you? Are you on something..??OUUUUUUUU!" Yvette moaned.

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!"moaned Gary.

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH GARYY!" moaned Yvette.

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMM VETTIE...I JUST LOVE YOU SOO MUCH BABY!" he moaned.

"MEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!" she cooed.

She rode him slow and softly....

NINE TO TEN HOURS of sweet almost non-stop lovemaking slipped by... They were both calling out tomorrow.

EPILOUGE-

Richard Rubino Jr. aka White Boy Rick and 43 of his associates were convicted on both State and Federal charges of Conspiracy to distribute illegal controlled substances, Cocaine, Heroin,Marijuana and Opiates. They all got from 25- 50 years in prison.

He testified that Chris Dougherty was murdered by Officer Frank Hatfield, who he claimed conspired to murder his estranged wife, Brenda Hatfield. He was never indicted for Murder or conspiracy to commit murder.

His main man ,Primo Williams did no time....His testimony saved his skin. He was released from custody.

Officer Hatfield was indicted for the murder of Chris Dougherty and Conspiracy in the Murder of Brenda Hatfield. He has dropped out of sight and is presently wanted by the FBI.

Attorney Brenda Jordan 

was serious about not being Lt. Tragg's side piece..

He found that out the next time he went to her condo...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she moaned.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!  YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!" she moaned. She was clearly entertaining someone else...

"OHHHH HO HO HO HOOOOOO!" came a gruff male voice.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...AWWWWWWWW MEOWWWWWW!" she cooed.

The bedsprings were squeaking....Lots of laughing could be heard.. He didn't know who she had in there, but it wasn't him.

ADA April Taylor wasn't answering any of his calls or texts.

He didn't hear any bed springs squeaking or moaning and groaning at her condo.. but she didn't come to the door or answer his calls or texts.

He walked along the streets with

a flask of his favorite whiskey...drunk and horny.

At our new building

and in our new Law Library /Conference Room..

Ms Yvette sat with us...

"Close your eyes guys and then open them up...If all of this is still here ,it isn't a dream." gushed Ms. Yvette.

"It isn't a dream Ms. Yvette." said Sofia.

"It's Real." said  Sofia.

"So Real." said Bee Bee...

"But it feels like a dream." said Kahlil, smiling.

''A dream I don't wish to wake up from." I said, smiling like the rest.

FOR CAITLIN-
