Match

 We were awaiting the verdict in the fourth....That's right, the fourth trial of our client, We had had three hung juries.. The first one, 11 to convict ,one to acquitt , the second trial, 7 to convict and 5 to acquitt and the third trial,  A 6-6 split.. Here we were at the finish of the fourth trial. Exhausted...ready for a verdict in our favor. 

Clyde Clawhopper, A street entreprenuer , accused of murdering his rival. We originally took this case pro bono, but his large street following raised a quarter of a million dollars towards us , his defense..

"I thought taking on U.S. Attorney Todd Dellums was tough Neicey Poo, but your girlfriend is tougher than he was.." said my wife, Olivia..

''She's no friend of mine.. I knew her in law school...She was always competitive with me, Kayla and Jazzy.  She always thought I took Wallace from her....

Then her and Kayla competed for a guy that eventually went to Kayla.... 

Jazzy, She just didn't like Jazzy." said Beverly..

They were talking about Assistant District Attorney Abigail Wilson...A very talented  young attorney who worked and prepared just as hard as we did...and who proved to be very up to the task of going against us..

"I think we got our point across to this jury.... Nelson, you out did yourself with this jury." I said.

"That might be our edge.. Since we didn't identify a killer.." said Nelson.

"This trial is more exhausting than the ones we had against Todd Dellums." sighed Josie.

"Wowwww...this is the first time I've been involved in one trial with so many hung juries..." said Bresha.

Lt. Tragg, the arresting officer had brought in a circumstantial case that looked a lot better than his last few cases... He sat looking smug and triumphant..

"You got this kid...Olivia and Beverly and her crew finally met their match in you.." he said self assuredly....

''Here comes the Judge and the Jury." said ADA Abigail Wilson.

Judge Cecil Holmes  held court..

"Has the jury come to a decision? he asked.

"We have your honor." said The Jury Foreman...

"Bailiff, bring me the verdict..

The Bailiff was Barney Drescher, who had just been a defendent himself in a murder trial.. 

Defended successfully by our good friends, Yvette Jones-Lockwood, Keith Jones, Bee Bee Evans-Jones , Sofia Garcia-Ahmed, Kahlil Ahmed and Jade Lee-Ho.

Judge Holmes read the verdict and then passed it to Barney Drescher to read..

"THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA VS. CLYDE  CLAWHOPPER , COUNT ONE,

MANSLAUGHTER , FIRST DEGREE- NOT GUILTY

COUNT TWO MANSLAUGHTER , 2ND DEGREE, -NOT GUILTY

COUNT THREE - 2ND DEGREE MURDER- NOT GUILTY

COUNT FOUR - 1ST DEGREE MURDER- NOT GUILTY

COUNT FIVE- USE OF AN INSTRUMENT OF CRIME- NOT GUILTY."

"So be it.. The jury has spoken.. Mr. Clawhopper, you are free to go...

He gave me a bear hug..

"Thank you soooo much Mr. Donnie Ray.. You believed me...You believed in me...Thank you for getting your wife and team in on this...And thank you Nelson." he said, tears streaming down his face..

"You're welcome man..." I said. I ate at his Jamaican and West African food truck often when I was in town investigating or playing a gig at Mulberry Street..We talked about cooking and food..I liked him.

When I saw Lt. Tragg and his men arresting him and I heard the details..I went to my wife about it, about representing him...

I remember her saying to me that day "How can I say no to you? About anything , Of  course I'll defend him... Now come over here and give mama some sugar." she said.

She rewarded me with a butter soft kiss...Not a bad person to work for.

''We told you we were gonna be with you until the wheels fell off. Thank you for not bailing on us, especially after that second trial.." laughed Nelson..

He hugged Olivia, Beverly, Josie and Bresha individually, thanking them profusely..

"Oh you're welcome...You are so welcome.." said Olivia.

"Thank you for believing in us and sticking with us...We never thought we'd get three hung juries." said Beverly..

"We sure didn't...but you hung in there with us and we hung in there with you and we won in the end!" said Josie.

"Good Luck to you.." said Bresha..

Assistant District Attorney Abigail Wilson had suffered her first loss in court.. This was the first time she had had a hung jury...Three in a row and a loss...It was kind of like an omen...

She had a lot of respect for us and the job we had done... She walked over to us..

"Hello Bev...it's been a long time hasn't it?" she said.

"It has been." said Beverly..

"I see you and your cousin are still tight...She defended you in that civil suit last summer and Jazzy defended your colleague in the same suit...." said Abigail..

"Kayla and her husband 

live across the street from me

 and Jazzy and her husband live three doors down from me.. This is my husband, Nelson." said Beverly..

"Pleased to meet you...You did a hell of a job counselor." said Nelson.

"Not good enough...You guys beat me..." she said. "All you guys are married now huh?..Wow!  I'm almost there.. I'm engaged to an Attorney that works in town." she said and laughed.

"You did a great job Ms. Wilson. You were a worthy adversary...I was impressed..." said Olivia..

''You taught me a lot.."said Josie..

"Yes, me too!" said Bresha..

"No! YOU GUYS TAUGHT ME A LOT! You all are so nice...Most defense attorneys don't have such good words for me.. I appreciate the praise...but really, you guys ,you guys put me through a test...I'll never forget you...but uh I don't want to see you guys anytime soon." she said.

"Likewise I'm sure." I said 

and we all laughed..long and hard.

Lt. Tragg sighed..he couldn't believe we were all laughing and talking now.. We had all been trying to kill each other in court just awhile ago and here we all were laughing as though we had been on the same team...He couldn't do it.

The Local press was once again letting him have it.

"Damnnn Artie.. and I was rooting for you...I thought you had this one."said one reporter..

" What's this 0-102?" asked another , met by laughter...

Lt. Tragg was showing amazing restraint... He usually would be in mortal combat by now... He simply said.

"Alright that's it.. Interview over!" he said and walked away, amid clapping and laughing...

We had already left....So had Abigail...

We began to file into our vehicle...No way we were eating in Sam Mother's today...

"I just want to take off my heels and rest my feet." said Josie.

"I know that's right Josie Girl....Well Niecey Poo...Abigail didn't seem that bed...She actually seemed quite nice...It has been years since law school.. Apparently she's moved on.." said Olivia to Beverly..

"Yeah, I guess she has.I told Jazzy and Kayla we were up against her and they both said they didn't envy me."laughed Beverly..

Bresha slid in the back seat with Olivia, Beverly and Josie..She took her heels off too..

"I gotta run in my pantyhose...I just bought these." she mused as she leaned back..

''Don't you hate that?" said Beverly..

"I know right?" chimed in Josie.

"Everybody in? I know a place we can go and just chill out." I said as I took the wheel.

"Lead the way.." said Nelson..

II-

We all went to a tony rooftop restaurant that we had recently discovered for brunch....

We chose to have breakfast, Pancakes and sausage, Hot Coffee and mimosas.

"Great job guys...You've got the next two days off...Get some much deserved rest..." said Olivia.

"YAYYYYYYYYYY!" said Beverly...

"Thanks Liv!" said Nelson...hugging his wife, Beverly and squeezing her tightly...

"I'm going to go home, take a nice long bath and catch up on my sleep before my husband gets home." said Josie.

''Ouuuuuuuu girl, me too!" laughed Bresha."

Just then a familliar face walked up to our table.. It was Assistant District Attorney Abigail Wilson.

"Oh My God!! This is like an episode of the Twilight Zone, I can't seem to get away from you guys... Hello..This is my uh fiance, Attorney Albert Walker.. Albert this is...."She said.

"No need for introductions...I know Mrs. Olivia Bennett-Alexander, 

we both worked at Bach and Roach at one time and plus, she and her team is always on the news... and her niece, Beverly and her husband, Nelson and I all worked a case together with uh your friends,

 Jessica and Chip Burrows , 

when I was at the Innocence Project...That was a good case." he said.

''Yes, I remember that case..from a few years back." said Nelson..

''I think that was before you and I got married Nelson.That was a good case." said Beverly..

"Yes, I remember you left Bach and Roach a few days after I did.."laughed Olivia.

"Bunch of racists...I was glad to get out of there... I know you were too Olivia." said Albert.

"Small World isn't it? I know Jessica and her husband  Charles too...We all took part in a legal seminar last year." said Abigail..

"Indeed." I said. I smiled, but I noticed he was already wearing a wedding band on his left hand.. She did say he was her fiance... and at the courthouse, she said she was "almost there" as far as being engaged.

"Oh Well, enjoy guys!" said ADA Abby Wilson as she and her "fiance" walked away...

"I know it's the cop in me..but I distinctly remember her saying in the courtroom that she was "Almost there" as far as being engaged...Did something change within an hour?  Plus he's wearing a wedding band already." I said.

"I peeped the wedding band too!" said Josie.

''And I remember she said ''I'm almost there.'' in court." said Nelson.

''Woooooooooo the drama continues." said Bresha.

''Don't it now???" laughed Olivia.

"You won't believe this...But I've met his wife...Years back , when we worked that case.. She came down to his office, when he worked at the Innocence Project...She was real jealous..." said Beverly...

"She walked in on me and Beverly sharing a kiss in the coatroom...It was only then she felt easy and comfortable around Beverly... I think she thought they had something going on." said Nelson..

"When she saw how hot you two are for each other, I guess it does make her comfortable." joked Olivia..

''Auntayyyyyyyyyy!" said Beverly, blushing..

"Whattttttttttt? You love your husband and HE OBVIOUSLY LOVES YOU!! That's something to be happy about..."said Olivia..

'He sure does... I remember when you first introduced Nelson to me...The way he looked at you, the way he made goo goo eyes at you Bev, I knew he was deeply in love with you already.." said Josie.

''Awwwwwww that's so cute." said Bresha.

Nelson blushed..

I smiled as we continued our meal.

III-/b>

The Case was over... They like us had had brunch...Assistant District Attorney Abigail Wilson and her "fiance" Attorney Albert Walker returned to her tony Condo...

It was beautiful....

"Abby...ohhhhhhhh My lawyer says my divorce will be done in another three weeks..We are almost there baby." he said, taking her in his arms..

"Ohhhhhhh, I can not wait...Then we can be married, Married properly.." said Abby..

As they kissed passionately....

"Ummmmmmmm, Ummmmmmmmmmm.." she moaned..

"Oh My god!" he moaned in between wet sloppy kisses..

Abby Wilson stood in the doorway...

"I'm a little nervous too...This will be my last time having sex with you until your divorce is final." she said.

Albert began to shake...He was nervous and turned on...

His eyes bulged out of it's sockets , watching her undress...

That dress , that tight Blue Pinstriped Dress that she was wearing was brand new.. She had purchased it for this trial, along with a matching bra and panty set. She really knew how to fill it up..

She had gotten cat calls and whistles from several men all day...Exactly the reaction she wanted... Albert certainly noticed...He couldn't keep his eyes off of her. She felt naughty and sexy all at once..

''Abby, you're one sexy woman!" he said.

"You are such a sweetheart Al...Here , help me with my zipper." she said. As he unzippered her dress and watched as she stepped out of it.

"I bought some new panties .You like?" she asked..

His eyes were bulging out of their sockets...

"I take it that's a yes." she giggled.

"YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!" he said,

"Ohhhhhhhh stoppppp!" she giggled.

''Where did you get these?" he asked.

''A place called Panty's Galore!" she said.

"I'm here for it." he said.

"You are so silly." she laughed.

He ran his hands down into her panties and kissed her butter soft lips..

" He gently unhooked her bra and slipped her matching panties down....

"You are sooooo hard and so damn big...ummm that's what I love about youuu!....Look at you....OUUUUUUUU!" she laughed.. Al  was huge! she thought to herself..

They stood in the doorway, kissing passionately...

"Ohhhhh my god, I couldn't wait.." he moaned..

"I know...I couldn't wait either," Abby found herself saying , taking the rest of her clothes off  and marveling about his size and girth..

"REALLY?" he said..

''Yes...Really!" she said. She was herself quite horny..

"WOW!" he said...

"Oh My lord, you are HUGE! Does your wife know what she has or rather had?" she asked......

''I think she does!?..." he said shyly...

"I hope so...but....wouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! Look at you....What am I going to do with all that?" she exclaimed, putting her hands over her mouth and giggling with excitement...

This got Al very excited..

He tossed her on the bed...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Albert...." she gasped... 

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmph."he groaned in his low baritone as the bed began to squeak and the headboard began to rattle..

''Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!  baby!" she squealed..

  Albert  lifted her up!

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SWEEET BABY!!!" moaned  Albert.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU TALK TO ME DADDDDDDYYYYYY!!!!OHHHH MYYYYY" cooed Abby..He was nearly to her stomach, she gasped..

They were back in the bed now, going at each other strongly.....

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMPH!" he groaned..


"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOO HOOOOO, OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
OUUUU HOO HOO...OH MY GOD!!!! OUUUUWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! OH MY GOD!!!! !!!!....OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!''Abby screamed..She was pleasently surprised...

The bed was squeaking loud now and the headboard was slamming hard against the wall...

THREE TO FOUR HOURS slowly drifted by....She was impressed with his stamina...

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!  OHHHH  MISTER WILLIAMS!!!, you aren't making any damn sense!  OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU Myyyy LAWD!"said Abby!

''OOOOOOOU..AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! ABBY!!! MISS WILSON OHHHHH" moaned Al.
"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu say my name baby...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" she cooed deliriously....

ABIGAIL!!!....OHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" he moaned..

"YESSSSSSSSSSS YESSsSSSSSSSS BABYYYYY!" she cried out

THREE TO FOUR MORE HOURS PASSED  before Al came and came hard....and Abby's  legs began to quiver and then shake...her head turned from side to side and tears streamed down the side of her face..She was crying like a little girl....She was having ,she believed her fourth intense orgasm and just crying like a baby...

Abby  continued kissing  Albert and rubbing his penis until it hardened again....

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu there it is! OUUUU Look at that!!!" she said..

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM! YESSSSSSS BABY! YESSSS!" Al moaned.. He couldn't believe his good fortune...This Assistant District Attorney  was a freak behind closed doors he mused.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" Albert wailed..

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW SWEEET BABY!" moaned Albert

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU YESSSSSSSS!" she cooed!

Albert was engaged and on her again....

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!"he moaned..

"TALK TO ME BABY...YOU LIKE IT BABY!?" she asked.

"YES!!! YES...OH YESSSSS!"moaned  Albert..who didn't know if he was coming or going...

"I LOVE YOUUUUU TOOO!!! OUUUUUUUUUUU!!!  I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!  YOU DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND!" she cooed...She was having her fifth and sixth intense orgasms...

"OH MY GOD.....OUUUUU MOREEEEE?" he asked.

"OUUUUUUUUU YESSSS...YESSSSS AND MORE , IF YOU WANT IT...I SURE DO!" she moaned..

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW..OUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" he moaned...


THREE TO FOUR  MORE HOURS drifted by....She was sitting on him, riding him hard.....

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW LAWWWWWWWWWWWD!" ALBERT moaned as he began to cum like a gusher...

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM CUM DADDDY! CUM FOR MOMMY!!! OUUUUUUUUUU!"moaned ABIGAIL!!!...

Albert lie in between her legs....exhausted...

Abigail wouldn't let him sleep , She continued kissing him, rubbing his large penis...keeping it hard..

''Ummmmm can I have a little more?" she cooed..

''OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.. LAWDDDDDDDD! " he moaned..He climbed back on top of her...This Assistant District Attorney  was a freak behind closed doors he mused, how lucky he was!

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM...UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM..LOOK AT THAT!!" she cooed..

They were at it again...The Bed was squeaking out of control...….The headboard was slamming against the wall...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu MISTER WILLIAMS,  BABY!!!!!!!, OUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she cooed..

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" he moaned..

.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU  MISTER WILLIAMS....YOU ARE DOING THE DAMN THING!" she moaned.. as the bed really began to squeak


"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW...OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" he moaned..

They were standing in the middle of the floor now,  ALBERT was long stroking her..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU HOOOO HOOO HOOO HOOO HOOOOOO, Aye...Ayeeeeeeee, Ayeeeee, Ay yi yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii….OH MY GOD ALBERT BABY!...OUUUUU! YOU ARE ALL UP IN THIS..OUUUUUUUUUU WEEEEEEEEEEEE!!" she screamed.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU HOOOO HOOO HOOO HOOO HOOOOOO, Aye...Ayeeeeeeee, Ayeeeee, Ay yi yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii….OH MY GOD ...OUUUUU!  ayyyee, aye yi yiiiiii" she screamed.

They were back in bed...going at it slower..

FIVE TO SIX HOURS DRIFTED BY

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMPH!" he moaned...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu lover...ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu this is soooooooo

nice...Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..YOU LIKE IT DADDY?" she cooed softly..

"YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!" moaned Albert as he came again like a gusher...

Albert lie in between Abby's legs, exhausted....too exhausted to move...Abby was  totally satisfied...She had never had this many orgasms and such strong ones at that...She held Albert's's head in her arms..She was so glad she was involved with him and close to marrying him.. 

.

It was almost 12 noon, The next day...What a night and early morning they had both had..

She walked into her bathroom and began brushing her teeth..She looked up and Albert was behind her..

He bent her over the sink.. She had a look of horror in her face..She couldn't believe he was still hard after the night they had had.. He entered her slowly and began to slowly move in and out..

"YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING!" she said , "OUUUUUUUUUUU, OH MY GODDDDD!" she howled  as he began to stroke her doggie style.

THREE DAYS LATER-

We had a special guest

Attorney Zoey Easter paid us a visit..

"So Nice to see you Zoey...I'm so glad you came down to visit and dish with your girls..."said Olivia.

''Working on anything interesting?  You know what we just got finished with." asked Beverly.

"Yeahh, I understand the Assistant District Attorney you were up against was Abigail Wilson.." said Zoey..

"You know her?" I asked.

"I've met her...My current client is really smitten with her..I'm working on his divorce."said Zoey.

"Would his name be Albert Williams by any chance?" said Nelson.

"Yes..You know him?" asked Zoey.

''He and I worked together at Bach and Roach years ago.." said Olivia.,

"Honey Bun, I uh mean Bev and I worked a case with him two years ago,." said Beverly.

''Awww, he calls you Honey Bun." gushed Zo.

Josie and  Bresha giggled.

''He and his wife have been legally seperated for a year...He in fact had to get a restraining order out against her.. His divorce is almost a done deal.,They don't have any children and he said she can have their house...He just wants out." said Zo.

"She introduced him as her fiance a few days ago... We ran into them at brunch , right after trial." said Olivia.

''I've told them both to stop doing that and to wait until the divorce is final."said Zoey.

''I think she did it when she saw me because she saw that I was married and that her former classmates,

Jasmine Jenkins, now Coley

 and 

Kayla Bennett, Now Kayla Bennett St. Jacques are married and I as well. She was very competitive, She's been that way since law school." said Beverly.

"Wowwwwwww that's bad to be so competitive and so jealous." said Josie.

"Some people are just like that...It'  a shame." said Bresha.

"That's a shame...but not our problem." said Nelson.

"Right...Not our problem." said Olivia.

I agreed..

Alfreda poured all of us a refreshing  glass of Ice tea.

IV-

A Brisk Philadelphia Winter afternoon..

Attorney Albert Williams walked briskly toward the parking lot where his car was...

He never saw his assailant.. An Assailant that was armed with a gun with a silencer..

He was hit in the back with three shots... He turned and was hit in the chest, two more times... He fell to the ground ,leaving blood smeared on his car, lying in an empty parking space, next to him.. He got a glimpse of the man just before he passed out.

"It's amazing...This guy took five shots AND HE'S STILL ALIVE!!" said one of the crime scene investigators..

"We got all five shell casings..He was shot at close range...I think this big thick coat may have sheilded him partially." said another man.

"We usually get called when the person is dead!" said Dr. Marcy Martin

"I know right...I'm relieved he's still alive, but he's lost  a lot of blood.. We've got to get him to a hospital." said Hazel.

An Unmarked police car rolled up as well as two police cars.

.. It meant one and only one thing...

Lt. Tragg had arrived on the scene.

"What have we got here?" he asked , kneeling down at the body on the sidewalk.

Marcy groaned.. "Couldn't it be any other detective besides him?" she mused.

Dr. Hazel Baylor was thinking the exact same thing.

"He's alive Lieutenant...he took five shots, three to the lower back and two to the chest..This big coat may have shielded him a bit." said a Crime Scene Investigator.

''He got a name?" asked Lt. Tragg.

"Here is his drivers license and his work ID...He's an Attorney.."said the CSI guy.

"Albert Williams, he doesn't work far from here." said another guy.

''Anybody see anything?" asked Lt. Tragg.

"No...He was discovered by that guy over there who was just coming into the parking lot...There is no street cam in this lot." said the CSI guy.

The ambulance arrived and Albert Williams was put on a gurney and shipped away.. It was good that for a change, a living victim was headed to the hospital and not a dead body headed to the morgue.

THE NEXT MORNING-

It was not a typical Friday Morning... We had no cases pending.. Beverly, Josie, Nelson and Bresha

were playing  a friendly game of poker on our conference room table.

Olivia and I were in the front of the office kissing passionately..

And Alfreda and Rockland

Alfreda and Rockland were in the kitchen, a room away, doing the same thing, 

kissing passionately.

We really were laid back this Friday Morning.

Then the bell rang!

''WHO THE HELL IS IT?" asked Rockland, furious at the interruption.

''I got it FREDA."yelled  Olivia.

Assistant District Attorney Abigail Wilson was at our door... She was teary eyed.

"OLIVIA!!! I couldn't think of anywhere else  to go." she said, crying profusely.
