Alley Cat

 We entered the Visiting Room at Curran-Fromheld Correctional Center. The city jail known as "CFC" to most of it's inhabitants and people on the street.

James Bomer was walked in by a guard..

"Jimmy? Jimmy Bomer??? I remember you." said Beverly..

"Oh My God!! Beverly West and Olivia Bennett, We represented Alan Newsome better known as Alan XO, the rapper a few years back...Oh My God!!"said James Bomer..

"Ohhhhh yes, I remember... You're an entertainment lawyer.....We spoke on the phone and you came to our Office/Duplex once....We worked out a contract negotiation...Well I'll be..."said Olivia.

"A lot has changed since then...huh? You're both married women now and your staff has grown... I remember it just being you and Bev and Donnie Ray." he said.

"I was married then... This is my husband, Donnie Ray Alexander, Our Investigator.." said Olivia.

"Pleased to meet you...I remember you though...It was a few years back." I said.

"And this is my husband, Attorney Nelson East...He's one of our Associate Attorneys." said Beverly.

"Hello, pleased to meet you." said Nelson, who hadn't met him before.

He looked at Josie...I see your staff has increased Liv... I remember this young lady...She was your uh Receptionist or Office manager back then.." he said and smiled.

"I'm an Attorney now.. One of Olivia's associates.."said Josie.

''She became our Para-legal and then we sent her to law school...After she passed the bar, she came to work for us.." said Olivia. Who then looked at Bresha.. "And this is our newest Associate Attorney, Ms. Bresha Billips..She joined us last year.."said Olivia.

"I was the biggest fan of your client, Alan XO, I had pictures of him on my bedroom wall when I was a teenager..." gushed Bresha.. "He was so hard, so sexy." said Bresha.

"And like me...Sooooooo Gay!" said James Bomer.

"WHAT? GAY?? NAHHHHHH!" said Bresha.

"It's true..."said Beverly...

"Bummmed me out too when they told me." said Josie.

''You still dug his music right?" asked James Bomer.

"Yeah, I guess...but it will be next to impossible to fantasize about him the way I used to.." sighed Bresha.

Nelson put his arms around Bresha and hugged her slightly...He was always like a big brother to both her and Josie.

''So Jimmy, what's this trouble you're in?" asked Olivia.

"Carlton Caldwell is, was a young actor....He stars on that Soap Opera..."When The Stomach Turns." and he was on the NETFLIX SERIES, "The Undesirables", you've probably seen him in a few commercials too!. I represented  him.."

"Oh My God!! Yess.. I know who he is... The Hunk, The Black football player in the commercial for

Scott Toilet Tissue.." said Josie.

"YESSSSSS...And I'm seen him on the Undesirables.. He's Gay too?? WOWWWWW!" said Bresha.

"Ohhh, now I know who you're talking about...Wowwwwwwwwww, I would have never guessed." said Beverly.

Nelson whispered to me.. "I thought he might be."

I said nothing, I just smiled...

"I was his lawyer and agent...I represent a number of people, Gay and Straight... He and I flirted back and forth.. He was a curiosity, uh an itch I uh wanted to scratch....It wasn't love... I truly love Alvin...Carlton and I made a date to hook up..A Day I wasn't in the office or court or some litigation..That was yesterday...After Alvin left my place.. I showered, got dressed and hooked up with Carlton...We uh really got it in..I was exhausted...The man was insatiable..I fell into a deep sleep...I didn't hear a thing..We must have left the door unlocked because whoever killed him slipped in silently while I was asleep and Carlton was in the shower and shot and killed him and then dropped the gun on the floor and left. I'm no killer, Olivia...Beverly, you know me...Why would I kill Carlton?? He was my client for godsakes..My friend...We had just finished having some mind blowing sex...I was too tired to kill him, even if I had wanted to." he said.

''Did Carlton have any other lovers? perhaps a jealous boyfriend or something?" I asked.

"If he did, I didn't know about them... That was my one and only time being at his place.." said James Bomer.

''Well the prosecution has a witness.. A neighbor who claims he heard you two arguing and heard the gunshots.."said Nelson.

"I mean it's flimsy...but they have a murder weapon, with a silencer...No Prints..No DNA left at the scene and one so called witness who said you two were arguing. It doesn't look too good."said Olivia.

"That witness is lying..he didn't hear any argument because there was none..We were kissing from the time I got there and then we fell into the bed...and and how did he hear the gunshots when the gun had a silencer on it?" I was there, I was asleep and I didn't hear anything...Their witness, probably that guy who was banging on the wall say "QUIET THE NOISE" is lying." said James Bomer.

"Who is the Case Detective on this?" asked Olivia.

"That Jackass Keystone copper, Lt. Arthur Tragg." snarled James Bomer....He had the same disdain for him that seemingly everybody that knew him had.

"Well, there you have it.." said Olivia.

"That explains so much!" scoffed Beverly....

''Shortcake, you and I need to look at that crime scene as soon as possible." I said.

"I'll write up a formal request.."said Beverly.

''Where is Alvin? I need to talk to him?" said James.

''He was too broke up to see you...All of the details about you and another man in bed and murder was too much for him...Because he's so personally involved in the case, He thought it would be better if We took on your defense.."said Olivia.

"We are going to try to get you arraigned as quick as possible.. We have to be in court tomorrow for another case, so Hang tight.." said Josie..

"What about Alvin? I have to see him."said James Bomer.

"Give him some time." said Bresha.

"Meanwhile we have to prepare our closing arguments in the Guyton Case and line up a Judge for you." said Nelson.

"Be of good courage Jimmy, We'll work this out!" said Olivia as we got up and left.

As we were leaving we saw a young man being uncuffed and released..

"Hey you guys..... Olivia Bennett-Alexander, Beverly West and crew huh?" said the man..

''Yes...and you are?" asked Olivia.

"Oh I'm Griff... Roderick Griffin... I uh live in the Oscar Wilde Lofts where that murder took place..I heard you are defending the accused murderer...Maybe I could use you guys in the future." he said.

"You're being released...You don't look like you need our help." said Beverly...

"Well you never know...perhaps I can be put on a retainer." he said.

"Sure...what were you in for, If I may ask?" asked Olivia.

''Suspicion of Car Theft....It was a case of mistaken identity..So I'm being released.. I had a half way decent Public Defender." he said and laughed.

"Well if you feel like you want to be on retainer.. Here is our address, stop by." said Nelson.

"I'll do that..Thanks." he said. and walked out of the door in front of us..

"If he had a Public Defender, where is he or she?" asked Josie..

''Yeah?" said Bresha

"They have so many cases..They don't have time to come up here for every release...They just make sure it's done." I said.  I knew that from working as a cop in New Orleans.

"My Husband's right girls... His Public Defender is on to the next case.. They need more of them, but most of you law school graduates want to work for a nice boutique firm like mine instead." joked Olivia, nudging Bresha.

Bresha giggled as we left the corrections center.

We exited the parking lot

and piled into the SUV...

"If he wasn't being a horny ole Alley Cat, he wouldn't be in this mess." scoffed Bresha.

"I know...Guys always got an itch they need to scratch, Gay or Straight." said Josie.

"And Girls never have an itch they need to scratch?" asked Nelson

"Sure...and we are better at not gettin caught." said Beverly....

All Three girls howled with laughter..

"OKAY?" said Josie, high fiving Bresha..

"That's right." said Bresha.

Beverly laughed....

"We are outnumbered Nelson, Four to two." I said as I pulled out of the parking lot.."And you, three to one sitting back there." I said.

''Yeah I know." said Nelson, who was surrounded by his beautiful and sexy wife and two beautiful and sexy co-workers...He could be in a worse situation..

"The girls are right about one thing...If he hadn't of been an ole Alley Cat, He wouldn't be in this mess..He reminds me of my ex-husband...and his excuses everytime I found a pair of panties or a bra in  his car or my car that weren't mine." said Olivia.

II-

Attorney Alvin Davis sat in Sam Mother's diner attempting to have breakfast..

''There you go Alvin.. Two eggs Over hard with the yokes fully cooked..Just like you like em and fresh bacon.... Here come s your coffee.." said Sam Mother.

As hot steaming coffee was poured.

"Thank you Sam." said Alvin..

His recent courtroom victory had all but been blighted by the news that his lover was involved in a sordid murder and in bed with another man..

The arrival of his nemesis, Lt. Arthur Tragg didn't make it any better..

''Wellllllll good morning counselor...How is your boyfriend doing up in stir? You found him a Judge yet for arraignment or are you going to let him stew?" he laughed...

"Why don't you go jump in the lake?" asked Alvin Davis.

"I'd slap the hell out of you if I didn't have to be in court this morning for the conclusion of another trial." laughed Lt. Tragg.

"Oh if you're involved in it.. I'm certain the prosecution is going to lose.. With your lazy police work, leaving things out, not reading reports, failure to interview more than one suspect.. Overlooking obvious evidence. Defense Attorneys salivate when they hear you're the case detective on a case... I know I did." said Alvin Davis as he continued to eat his breakfast...

"That's why your boyfriend is sitting in CFC thinking about that needle he's going to get for murder one..Heh Heh heh...., You know, the murder of the guy he was cheating on you with..HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Sam I'll take my coffee to go.." laughed Lt. Tragg.

"Here Artie, now go...please!" said Sam Mother.

passing him his coffee.

In court...

Judge Keith Morrison called the court to session.. The Guyton trial was over and the jury had finished deliberating..

We rose with our client Lilly Guyton,

accused of a sensational murder of two people... It had been in the papers for weeks... We had fought an uphill battle against the special prosecutor brought in 

Maureen "Reeny" Thomas, who had been on top of her game and very tenacious...For all of our preparation.. she had been equally prepared ...She hadn't touched a drop of alcohol and was always on time..

Lt Tragg had his grubby little hands up her skirt, rubbing her legs and palming her butt, looking as pleased as punch...She gently removed his hands several times, before moving over a chair.. He was certain she had won the case.,

"Has the jury come to a conclusion?" asked Judge Morrison.

"Your honor, we have." said the Jury Foreman..

The Bailiff gave him the verdict to read..  He read it and smiled a little.

"Read it." he said.

"IN THE MATTER OF COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA VS. LILL GUYTON ON THE CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER, NOT GUILTY..

ON THE SECOND CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER, NOT GUILTY

ON THE CHARGE OF SECOND DEGREE MURDER, NOT GUILTY

ON THE CHARGE OF SECOND DEGREE MURDER, NOT GUILTY

ON THE CHARGE OF FIRST DEGREE MURDER, NOT GUILTY

ON THE CHARGE OF FIRST DEGREE MURDER, NOT GUILTY.

ON THE CHARGE OF USING AN INSTRUMENT OF CRIME TO DO BODILY HARM, NOT GUILTY..

AND ON THE LAST CHARGE OF SIMPLE ASSAULT OF A POLICE OFFICER, GUILTY!(She had kicked Lt. Tragg in the groin)

"Ouuuuuuuu what does this mean, the one guilty verdict?" asked Lili Guyton..

"Oh that? That's a misdemeanor...You might get a fine...The court will give you credit for time served..That's nothing."said Beverly..

"The important thing is you aren't going to jail.. You won't face the death penalty...You're going home tonight baby!"said Olivia.

"Oh thank you so much...My long nightmare is over." she said and hugged Olivia and Beverly..

"Oh you're welcome."said Olivia.

"You're welcome...It was worth it ,to once again knock that self serving sneer off the face of Lt. Tragg."said Beverly.

And she hugged me and Nelson as well..She had nice plump breasts and a very curvaceous body which I must admit did feel good up against me..

"You're welcome." I said..

"Yes, you're welcome." said Nelson..

"Thank You Josie, Bresha.." she said, hugging them

"You're welcome, good luck to you." said Josie.

''Yes, good luck to you." said Bresha.

"I'd like to thank each and every one of the jurors....You are free to go....Exit by the doors..Your checks will be distributed to you there,,,Court dismissed." said Judge Morrison.

"Two witnesses perjured themselves on the stand.. And two others changed their stories completely.. They were all lying.. They just didn't like that girl... I'm going to bring all four of them up on perjury charges."said Maureen as she walked off.

without saying a word to Lt. Tragg..

He was livid...This was a record two bad cases in one week...He stomped his foot and kicked a trash can over...

We had wisely not eaten in Sam Mothers the entire time leading up to and during the trial. We had also avoided Curleys bar.. All of us..And he knew not to come to our Office/Duplex for fear of being carted off to jail..

He was beet red..

And the press was letting him have it..

"Hey Artie ,Ever think about becoming a shoe salesmen? As a Detective you'd make a great shoe salesman." asked one reporter..

This was followed by guffaws of laughter...

"Have you ever arrested a guilty person?" asked another..

''Defense Attorneys love you don't they?"said yet another.

"THAT DID IT!! LOU...I'VE HAD IT UP TO HERE WITH YOUUUUU!" he screamed and charged after the reporter.. Several reporters stood in his way and a fist throwing, chair throwing brou haa haa began with uniformed officers trying to restore order..

"And on that note we are out the side door." said Nelson , rushing both Beverly and Olivia out with him..

"Right behind you husband.." said Beverly..

"He is unhinged.."said Olivia..

"Yeah, I would tend to agree, but let's get out of here." I said , rushing to the door..

A chair flew over Josie's head.. 

"Ohhhhh my God." she said, running for the exit with Bresha ,holding her hand and running behind her.

"This is too much." she said.

III-

Assistant District Attorney Jill Jones and Lt. Arthur Tragg stood in the doorway of her condo kissing passionately...

His trousers dropped to his ankles..

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWW GEEEEEEEEZ!" he moaned.

She took her foot and closed the door.

"ARTHUR!!!!! YOU'RE ALL EXPOSED....STEP INSIDE PLEASE!!" she said.

They kissed passionately for the next HALF HOUR!

It was 10:00 pm at night...

Sometime later in her apartment complex...

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Lieutenant! " she moaned as they kissed passionately....

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH VA VA VA VOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!" he cried out..

He helped her out of her dress 

and her panties..

He bent her over the sink....

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.......OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH GODDDDDDDDD!" she moaned. She was having an intense orgasm already! Her body trembling/

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW..VA VA VA VOOOOOOOOOOOM!" he moaned.

They were on the floor really going at it..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she moaned.. She hadn't had sex within a few weeks..This was a release she felt she needed.

They went in her bedroom and made sweet love for the next NINE TO TEN HOURS.

She admired his stamina.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.......OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH GODDDDDDDDD!" she moaned. She was having another intense orgasm! Her body trembling...

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM...OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WEEEEEEEE!" he screamed out, cumming so hard, he felt as if he was going to die..

It was near daybreak and she was still kissing him passionately...

She began riding him slowly...

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" he moaned. This broad was a machine, did she ever get enough? He wondered..

They made love for another THREE HOURS!! He came and came hard again... Her body was trembling something crazy...

He showered and got dressed.. 

She was at the door in just her panties..

"Thank you for last night Arthur...Take me to breakfast...I have something to tell you." she said.,

They both sat down and had breakfast...Not surprisingly they both had the same thing..

Fried eggs, Hash browns, sausage and hot coffee.

"You said you had somethin to tell me?" asked Lt. Tragg as they ate their food.

''Yeah remember during the trial, the way it seemed like Me and Defense Attorney Alvin Davis had a personal grudge going?

''Well we do...I hate him...!" she said.

"That's no big deal...I hate the little queer prick myself." said Lt. Tragg...

"I hate him because he broke up my engagement.....

"The man you arrested for that murder a few days ago of the Black Actor....James Bomer..He was my fiance.. We were engaged to be married...

We grew up together...Went to the same High School.. He was All State in Football, Quarterback, took our High school to the State Championship... I was a Cheerleader..

We were a cliche' kinda couple.. Handsome High School Quarterback and the Captain of the Cheerleaders.. He was Prom King, I was Prom Queen...

We both went to Rutgers...and Rutgers Law school after that.... after he passed the bar...We kinda went our seperate ways for a time.. He spent some time in New York...

We hooked up again later...We both were living in Philadelphia...We got engaged... Something was different about him....

The night before our wedding...I caught him and Alvin Davis in bed...making love... It was very embarrassing for everyone involved...Naturally we called the engagement off...

I told my bridesmaids that I caught him with another woman...I kept his sexuality a secret...We didn't have any children or property so that was that.. My Father wanted to kill him...

Flash Forward years later and that old alley cat is a successful Entertainment Lawyer and out and proud.., Still with Alvin Davis...Still up to his old cheating ways." she explained..

"He broke up with you...for Alvin Davis????? He aint even a handsome man...Wowww.....You don't need him baby and I'm gonna make sure Bomer gets the death penalty for this.."said Lt.. Tragg, who had his hand up her dress and was palming her butt.,

At this very moment in CFC, Attorney James Bomer was using a laptop to get information on the attorneys who would be defending him.

He knew Olivia and Beverly....but he wanted to know their pedigree, where they went to school and all..

He was quite impressed..

IV-

He was checking us out and at our Office /Duplex, we were checking him out..

Olivia, Beverly, Nelson, Josie and Bresha were sitting around the conference room table.

"The two of them attended the same High School...They were a couple...They were engaged to be married...until his secret came out...The secret that dare not say it's name...That he was a closeted gay man. He and our good friend , Alvin Davis have been together for a few years.. They broken up at least two times before because our client occassionally plays away games." I chuckled.

"I just love the way you phrase things dear heart." said Olivia.

"Wow...They had history.."said Beverly.

"It makes sense.. They went to the same high school, same college, took the bar around the same time and even worked the same jobs for awhile." said Nelson..

''Sure was." agreed Bresha.

Alfreda heard them both and laughed..
