30 Days Later

Lt. Tragg was happy...Today was his last day on the Marine Boat and with the Harbor Unit..

He waved at his comrades...a "Great Bunch of guys" as they pulled off and left him at the Marina..


He had been gone a month and he had calmed down..No raging arguments with the lawyers or the detectives he usually went head to head with...Not being cursed out or called on the carpet by the Deputy of Operations... No fights in Sam Mother's Diner or Curley's bar.. It wasn't that bad..

He was peaceful, He was at peace..He wasn't so angry...he wasn't angry at all... He and his pals fished, drank beer and laughed and joked on the boat and patrolled the waters...

His girlfriend, Assistant District Attorney, April Taylor was back from San-Francisco and she brought him lunch every day...




in a nice lunch pail...

And in the afternoon-



 THE CONDO OF ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY , APRIL TAYLOR..


"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM"

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU"

"GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZ"

"I MISSED YOU!!!" said April Taylor..

"I MISSED YOU TOO!!...OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" moaned Lt. Tragg..

"Well come inside... I'm giving my neighbors too much of a view." she said.. She had on a yellow lace bra and matching yellow lace thong...

Lt. Tragg and ADA April Taylor were standing in her doorway kissing passionately..


"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU I'VE MISSED YOU ARTHUR....OUUUU, DID YOU MISS ME?" she asked.

"YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! YESSSSSSSSSSS" Lt. Tragg moaned as he ran his hands down into her panties ,squeezed her butt and kissed her passionately
in her living room...


"WOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU........OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUWEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! I wore this because I know it's your favorite..."she cooed

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH........AWWWWWWWWWW GEEEEEEZ!"he moaned....

as they made love on the living room floor.

"I called out sick today... I was sick... Sick with horniness..." she cooed..

"Well you know , what can I say?" he laughed..

She had heard he had been in at least two fights 'one in Sam Mother's Diner and another in Curleys and had been put on the Marine Boat because of his continued harrassment of Former attorney Virginia Shaw, 


a one time mentor of hers, who she once clerked for.

She heard she had been paroled and was now working as an Office Manager for McCluskey/Cozen/Connor and Pratt ,under newly minted Managing Partner, Yvette Jones-Lockwood and staff.





who she had gone up against in court a few times......

She didn't care about all that right now.

She had been gone for two weeks...She was horny and she needed what he was doing for her in bed right now..

She had been gone for two weeks, He hadn't been laid in six weeks, He had been slapped and beaten up in two fights ...He needed desperately to get laid and now he was.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! MEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!" she cooed.
her legs and entire body trembling like crazy, especially her left leg as sweat and tears rolled down her forehead..

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!! GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ!" he howled..
as the bed rocked and her headboard slammed against the wall.

She didn't care....All she cared about was having him in bed...

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH LORRRRRRRRRD!!!"he moaned.

"OUUUUUUUUUUU..WOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!! OH MY GOODNESSSS!"she said.

FOR THE NEXT NINE TO TEN HOURS, neither Lt. Tragg or ADA April Taylor cared about anything or anyone else but each other..

"OHHHH ARTHUR!" she cooed..

"OHHHHHHHHHHH HO HO HOOOOOOOOOO APRIL!" he moaned as he sat on the side of her bed and she eased herself down on him...

"VA VA VA VOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!" he cried out! Nearly delirious!!!


"OHHHHHHH ARTHUR..I WAS SOOOO HORNY!" she said..

"SOOOOOOO WAS I, I WAS LOSING MY MIND...." he moaned..

"WELL I'M HERE TO TAKE CARE OF THAT..OUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she moaned as she rode him, moving up and down slowly....

He hadn't had sex in a month....This was much needed by both of them!

It was another THREE TO FOUR HOURS before Lt. Tragg came like a gusher, exploding ........
and April Taylor had her fourth intense orgasm, both legs shaking..her head turning back and forth and tears streaming down her face....

"WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" he howled....

"OUUUUUUUUUUUU...WOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she cooed...

She couldn't believe she was still sleeping with this guy...She only meant to sleep with him once..but he was damn good in bed..and made her feel like no one, not even her ex husband -Jumpshot Jim could make her feel...That's what she did like about him.



The next morning, after a shower and a shave..Lt. Tragg was back on the streets..and back in Sam Mother's Diner...


They probably had forgotten that his thirty days were up....His "favorite people " were having breakfast in Sam Mother's this morning after a court appearance.

"Oh Damn it...We got careless, We forgot his thirty days were up!" said Olivia, seeing Lt. Tragg enter the diner.
"It's actually been 32 days, but who is counting?" said Donnie Ray.
"Damn it..It's been soooo nice.."said Beverly.
"Well I'm glad Virginia isn't here...You know how triggered he gets when she's around." said Nelson.
"Yeah, at least our case is over and we don't have to come in here again for awhile."said Josie.
"I'd rather go downtown and eat with our friends anyway."said Bresha.







Their breakfast orders unfortunately were arriving as Lt. Tragg was coming in...


"You think maybe he'll just march by us and leave us alone?...We aren't involved in anything that had anything to do with him."said Beverly, who like the rest of her team, wanted to eat her breakfast in peace.

"Not a chance." said Donnie Ray..

''Just ignore him...Don't say anything to him." said Olivia.


"Yeah just ignore him." said Nelson.


"Oh damn, here he comes." said Josie.

Bresha shook her head.


He walked over to their table, naturally...It was as if he couldn't help himself.

''Welllllll if it isn't the so called Best Defense Attorneys money can buy huh? Isn't that what the papers call you? They should call you guys the magicians the way you use every imaginable stunt to bend the law and get your client off..." he sneered..

No one said a word...At least not to him....


"Pass me a sausage Honey Bun." said Nelson.

"Here you go baby. Pass me the Hash Browns." said Beverly..
''Anybody need any Orange Juice?" said Olivia.
"You can pour me a cup Liv." said Bresha...
"I'm good." said Josie.


"Soooooo the silent treatment eh?" sneered Lt. Tragg, who stood there as we continued to eat and refused to even acknowledge his presence.


"ARTIE!!!! YOU ORDERING OR WHAT? BECAUSE IF YOU'RE NOT!! GET OUT" bellowed Sam Mother.


That caused him to sit down at the counter and order his regular.. Fried eggs over easy, Hash browns, Sausage and Hot coffee.







His breakfast arrived..


"Relax Sam, I was just talking to them...I've been gone for a month.." said Lt. Tragg..


"And you know what? It's been pleasant...No fights, No arguments...No nothin...Just people eatin and my cash register going cha-ching. I want to keep it that way...So when you come in...Leave people alone. Order your food, sit the hell down and MIND YOUR BUSINESS!! Ya hear?" said Sam Mother.

As usual, it was if a word hadn't been said.. What Sam Mother said went in one ear...and out the other..
He was admiring Olivia... "She is a good looking woman,"  he mused to himself.

Olivia came up with her company credit card and paid for our bill....


Lt. Tragg looked at her...

"Hmmmmmm having your own firm of magicians pays well doesn't it? Company card!" he said.

Olivia ignored him totally...She didn't like what she did being referred to as "magic" or "stunts" or her staff of well trained attorneys being referred to as magicians simply because he was too stupid to do a thorough investigation and because time after time they not only provided reasonable doubt, but also solved the crime in court... She acted as though he was not there.
''Thanks Liv,. you want your receipt?" asked Sam..

''Yes, Thank You Sam." said Olivia.


"Got to keep your books balanced eh?" he said.
She ignored him!





Beverly, Josie, Bresha, Nelson and her husband, Donnie Ray had left and were already in their SUV..

Olivia quietly left...

Sam knew he wasn't going to see them or any of the others for a long while.

"You see that Sam? They gave me the silent treatment...What the hell is eatin them?" said Lt. Tragg.



"Yeah, I wonder." said Sam Mother, shaking his head.. "This guy just doesn't get it!" he mumbled to himself.


II-

He hadn't seen Yvette or any of his other sparring partners since his term on the boat was over.








For Yvette's part , a lot of she and her young associates cases were handled in litigation in her new suite's conference room or the building's conference room a few floors down.


The same was true of her contemporaries. Assistant District Attorney Karen Page of the Wrongful Conviction Unit, Jessica Sanchez-Burrows and her husband, Charles "Chip" Burrows of The Innocence Project



and Jazmine Coley, Kayla Bennett-St Jacques, their husbands, Dabnis Coley and Ray St. Jacques and young attorney, Tony Billips..




They were all thrilled to be in their new building, far away from the downtown area...
With it's ultra modern and fancy cafe and good food...
and a gym to work out of..

As long as they didn't have a court case..They didn't have to venture into town and risk running into Lt. Tragg and even when they did have a court appearence.. They headed back to their building afterwords..

They kept as much distance between themselves and Lt. Tragg as possible..


Riding home together on the train...



in the relative comfort and safety of their neighborhood.


Across the street from them, Olivia Bennett-Alexander and her associates had their meals at her Office /Duplex..


Olivia, Beverly ,Donnie Ray and Alfreda, their office manager were excellent cooks and they prepared Breakfast and Lunches and sometimes dinners right there on the premises..








and like the others, a lot of their cases were handled there in their conference room..


They hadn't had to go to court in awhile... They had their pick of bars, Josie's, Aqua Bar, Stoleys and the Mermaid Crabhouse to attend after work.




and Saturday Mornings...

Mabel Jenkins Soul Food Joint

or this new place, Pancake Pantry in Bayside was the new breakfast spot for everybody.

Curley missed their presence in his bar...
As did Sam Mother in his diner..
Olivia and her associates did order take out food from him through UBER and DOORDASH as did the others on weekends..but he missed their laughter and huge tips..Now he was stuck with Artie.


He was a little better now of days... He hadn't been in any fights or arguments lately...

and his girlfriend, Assistant District Attorney , April Taylor was a major calming influence..

They'd take a table in the back and kiss for an hour or so after they ate their food..


and apparently she didn't mind him groping her and reaching under her dress and yanking on the waistband of her panties..

she would gently remove his hands and coo- "Mr. Handsyyyyyyy...we are in public...take your hands off my pannnnntieeeees."

Which made him chuckle with delight. She was the only one who could control him, the only one he'd listen to.

Sam wondered at times if she was nutty as Artie was... She did seem to be intelligent and a good attorney from what he had heard...Artie must be laying some good pipe in the bed.


Still, he had this maddening obsession with former Attorney Virginia Shaw..He never could forgive her for sentencing former Deputy of Operations and his mentor, Vern Dule' to 10 years in prison. Those other 12 guys, he didn't care about...They were younger...and in under six years, every last one of them had been released..but Dule' , the thought of doing one day in prison was more than he could handle..

He was found hanging in his cell, a few days after he entered prison... He didn't deserve that... He had been a good cop, a cop's cop for years.. Yes , he and his cronies were burying cases...and embezzling a huge amount of public funds...but his service to the city as a beat cop, a detective, a Sgt, a Lieutenant, a Captain and finally Deputy of Operations ought to have meant more than his indescretions ,he reasoned.

He found it ironic, that she herself, Former Assistant District Attorney, Virginia Shaw, Ms. High and mighty went to prison herself , a few years later for 2nd Degree Murder. She was disbarred and sentenced to 20 years to life..

Now after serving only 7 years...7 years!!! she was paroled and not only that, working for a law firm,
Yvette's firm,

McCluskey/Cozen/Connor & Pratt as a damn office manager. All the office managers Yvette could have hired and she hired her. 

The fact that Virginia Shaw did more time than any of the 12 white men she sent to prison on corruption charges seemed to have slipped past him. They all did under 6 years...She did a little over 7 years before being paroled.



Even Olivia's office manager, Alfreda Johnson , who he despised equally wasn't an ex-felon...She was the mother of Olivia's bratty little niece, Beverly West.,

who she had had with Olivia's much older brother.. Former All City Football Great, Jimmy West.




 and Liv hired her as a favor to her older brother or simply because she was Beverly's mother..

That he could at least understand.. but why would Yvette hire Virginia.???


There was no connection...Other than they had known each other back when Virginia was an ADA.














To make matters worse, Olivia and Yvette's young associates and protégé's loved her...They used to sit in Sam Mothers and Curleys listening to her stories and laughing for hours, back when they were coming in.

 They took her bar hopping and clubbing with them, to the shopping malls, out to special dinners in Cherry Hill and Bayside.. 

He just didn't get it!


He stood outside her apartment late one night.. listening to her and that sickening Judge, Jetty Dukes



making love..  Apparently she had him wrapped around her fingers...
"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUU JETTTY!"

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH VIRGINIA!" 

They both moaned as they kissed passionately...
"My friends think I'm doing something to you...I told em I'm not." she giggled.

"Girrrrl what you say? You've had my head spinnin since you got out..I don't know if I'm coming or going sometimes." he said.

''You're mostly cumming." she laughed.

He laughed too!

"YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSssssss!" he moaned.
"WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" he moaned...slipping her panties down.

She laughed out loud!
"OH MY GOD!!!! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!" she cooed..Kissing him and stroking him softly....
"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH GIRRRRRRRRLLLL, I LOVE YOU TOO!! OUUUUUUUU!" he moaned, lifting her up and slowly,softly entering her warm, wet center and eventually putting her on the counter and thrusting deep inside of her..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU JETTTTTTTTY.,YESSSSSSSSSSSSS.OUUUUUUUUUUUU" she cooed.

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU JETTTTY!" she cooed.

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH GURRRRRRRRRRL!" he moaned. As they sat 
on the side of the bed, kissing and moving up and down on him...
She rode him cowgirl style.. Her body trembled....Her left leg shook....Sweat and tears ran down the side of her face,,,

He was sweating profusely also and his body was trembling....


They were both very engaged for the next NINE TO TEN HOURS, making sweet love, the bed squeaking and the headboard quietly smacking up against the wall.

The night ended with them both sleeping soundly...

The two of them were sickening! He thought..



He finished his flask of whiskey.. He was so angry, he urinated in front of her apartment, underneath her first floor window one morning.

III-


One week back and he still couldn't behave..

The detectives and the attorneys , mostly people of color who he argued with were gone....but there was  reminders that even some white people didn't care for him..



Assistant District Attorneys Petey S. and Hayden King  began to get his negative attention...With Petey S. threatening to deck him.


Both were annoyed and tired of his smart remarks and standing glaring at them as they attempted to eat... He seemed to have a need to annoy people.

Jumpshot Jim Taylor, on the other hand,  taunted him because he did not like the idea of his ex-wife,ADA  April Taylor sleeping with Lt. Tragg...

And then there was her, 


Attorney Brenda Jordan, who he had had the pleasure of sleeping with a few times..He had never gotten over her and still wanted her..

She was having tea one afternoon...



when he walked in and invited himself to her table..


"Hello Kid." he said, smiling..


''I haven't seen you in awhile..How are you?" said Brenda.


"Horny and Hard.." he whispered in her ear...while running his hand up her dress, rubbing her legs..
she laughed nervously.


''Come on be nice." she said and removed his hands.

''Why don't you be NICE?" he asked, laughing. He was half serious.. He would like nothing better than to bed her once again...He had enjoyed her immensely when they had slept together those few times.

''I was very "NICE" if I recall, on four different occassions.I can't get any nicer than that." she laughed, speaking of four times the two of them did have sex, once at his home, the second time at the loft of a girlfriend of hers she was house sitting and the third and fourth times at her condo... She had no real intentions of a fifth time...She had told him this..

She had surprisingly enjoyed having sex with him...but she did not like him much as a person..That never changed and thus she could never see herself in a relationship with him and didn't want him to get the wrong idea and wind up developing feelings for her.


He ran his hands up her skirt again...feeling her silky lace panties.

"OH MYYYYYYYY!" he said.. She pulled her skirt down and removed his hands..


She pulled her skirt down and forcibly removed his hands....placing them on his lap....

"Okay, THAT IS ENOUGH!" she said. ''We are in public...Control your damn hands..Now come on, don't make me slap you!" she said.


"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?  DID YOU JUST HAVE YOUR HANDS UNDER HER SKIRT??" bellowed Warren Lloyd, her boyfriend.. "YOU DAMN FREAK!! YOU PERVERT!!" he screamed, enraged...He was just coming in the diner and had witnessed Brenda removing his hands...


"HEYYYYYY CALM DOWN PAL!" said Lt. Tragg. He didn't like being called out in public like this..His anger was bubbling.


Warren Lloyd was already angry that Lt. Tragg had been the one who had arrested him and put him on trial for a murder he did not commit..






"He'd of gone to jail for life had it not been for Olivia, Beverly and their crew...He had no love for Lt.. Tragg..None at all.

"Don't tell me to calm down you freak.!!!..I'll put you through that door." yelled Warren Lloyd.

"OH YEAH?" snarled Lt. Tragg...


"Artie! OUTTTT! GET OUT!!" yelled Sam Mother. The last thing he wanted was another fight in his establishment..


Lt. Tragg didn't really want to get involved in another fist fight...He left the diner, avoiding a costly fist fight.... The swelling in his face from his last two fist fights were completely gone..


IV-


On this night in Curleys...


Lt. Tragg walked in and he spotted three people he hadn't seen in two weeks.. Yvette Jones-Lockwood , Virginia Shaw and Olivia Bennett-Alexander..




Virginia was telling them stories about when she was incarcerated...They hung on to her every word.




They were enjoying drinks and talking quietly...


Naturally , he had to interrupt their conversation...

"Vettie, Liv? why are you listening to anything she has to say? She's no longer a lawyer like you guys...And even if she were...You're both on a higher level than she ever got...Look at her..She even works for one of you..." he snarled.


"You know, what my niece says about you is true...You have a knack for ruining anybody's afternoon..
Now the three of us were sitting here quietly , not bothering anybody...You could have come in here and walked right past us...Found some blonde , who is drunk and with enough bad taste to let you rip her panties off and who might even go home with you tonight..but you had to come over here and say cruel things to our friend..."said Olivia, who was getting tired of his constant bullying..

"Look we all know how you felt about Vern Dule' but he's dead....He's been dead almost 10 years now!
He did it to himself...His co-conspirators, to a man were all paroled and released within six years..Virginia here did over seven years...More time than all of them...She's done her time, been paroled so why don't you let it go? She works for me now and that's it...It's not like anything you can say is going to make me let her go...So you're wasting your time...You like to waste your time don't you?" asked Yvette.

''Now if there isn't anything else...You can go now!" said Virginia.


Lt. Tragg was getting ready to say something when he heard another familliar voice.

"Virginia...Virginia Shaw...How nice to see you?" It was April Taylor..

"April...How are youuuuuuuuuuuuuuu?" said Virginia..

The two women hugged...

''Hi Liv, Hi Yvette."said April, who as an Assistant District Attorney had faced them both in court..
"Hi April." said Olivia..
"Hi April." said Yvette..

"I am in Virginia's debt...I had just graduated law school and had passed the bar one month before I began clerking for Virginia.. I was as green as green could be.. A square little white girl from the suburbs.. Ms. Virginia took me under her wing and taught me how to be a real lawyer in the real world.
Had me working as second on her high profile cases.. broke me in...I owe her my career." said April.

''And look at you today...A successful Assistant District Attorney. Still a square little white girl from the suburbs though..Just kidding...Love ya doll."said Virginia, hugging April...

"Love you too....Give me a call, we have to have lunch one of these days." said April as she and Lt. Tragg went to a seperate table..

"I always liked April..She was smart.. a quick learner...but her tastes  in men.. Yuck!  At least her  ex husband, "Jumpshot Jim", womanizing dog that he is, is fine and handsome...What she sees in that wooden head keystone copper..I'll never understand.." laughed Virginia, who wasn't the least bit fazed by Lt. Tragg's cruel remarks.
"Maybe she likes getting her panties ripped off.."laughed Olivia.
''Yeah that's it. "said Yvette and all three women laughed..




Lt. Tragg and April sat in a corner of the bar kissing passionately....


Curley smiled.. Tonight would be peaceful.. No fighting, no slapping...No Arguing.. It would be a good night..
