Blue Corvette

TUESDAY-

Our trial was supposed to be starting today...but because of Judge Masterson's untimely death, the trial was postponed until further notice...Lucky for Nancy Green , she was not locked up...She was free to go to work and do anything she wanted until trial...Anything except leave the city of Philadelphia.. On this overcast Fall day....We were all in a local coffee shop near Nina Rios's home, where she was staying...Having coffee...

"What does this mean, my trial being postponed?" asked Nancy, who wanted to be done with this.
"It means they have to find a new Judge and get him or her up to speed on the trial particulars..That can take a few days...Don't look to go to trial before next week." said Olivia.
''Don't worry, Olivia and her people have this thing all under control, you're going to be vindicated..."said Former Assistant District Attorney , and now Staff Attorney for the Women's Law Center, Nina Rios.

More Coffee's and Pastries appeared.
"Believe it or not Nancy, we are still doing research on your case...It's just not as intense as the weeks before."said Beverly.
"We set them back on their heels..They'll be hard pressed to do any better than they did...They know they're in Hot Water now." said Nelson.
"And more good news for you...I've located a witness who didn't want to talk to the police who says he saw a car sitting in front of his door, a car that's not usually there with tinted windows just before the shooting..He even gave me the license plate number and I ran it down...It was a rental car...but I found the car rental and the name and credit card number of the person who rented it.. I'm going to be talking to them soon." I said.
"The element of surprise is clearly with us..."said Josie.
"Trust and believe, consider your exoneration a done deal."said Bresha. "By the way...Your husband's funeral is tomorrow...Are you going?"asked Bresha.
 
"No....I don't think I'm wanted there...His family believes I murdered him...and he beat the hell out of me, I told them and they did nothing...No I'm skipping his funeral..To hell with him...and I truly hope he is burning in hell."said Nancy...
"Wow! Tell us how you really feel" said Olivia

Nina laughed....

WEDNESDAY-


Three weeks after his murder, Detective Sgt.Daniel Green was funeralized and laid to rest...

Lt. Tragg was there and of course used it to call a press conference and make it about himself...

"I CAPTURED THIS MAN'S KILLER...HIS WIFE....HIS ANGRY WIFE....I ARRESTED HER LESS THAN 24 HOURS after this good man, this good cop was brutally gunned down in his living room...But she is a lawyer and she has friends, friends who are slick attorneys, good at subverting the law, good at getting guilty people off...This is why this woman, this killer is free, free right now on bail...but that's coming to an end soon...She's going to be tried and found guilty....Justice will be served!" he bellowed.

THURSDAY-


Judge John"Bat" Masterson was funeralized and laid to rest the very next day..Just one week before...He had been presiding over our preliminary hearing..




Kevin "Slapshot" Johnson and Sharrone Stokes were back on their heels in a hearing they thought was going to be a slam dunk....it turned into a disaster for them...






Olivia and her team were having a field day....and they hadn't even begun their defense yet...

He shook his head... He told an aide one day before the prosecution rested... "The Defense is eating the prosecution for lunch...This case is weak as hell...I don't even know how they got an indictment...If they don't get in gear...This case is  going to get away from them..It's getting away from them now.. I have to give it to the defense...They came to play...They came prepared...I can't help the prosecution, even though I want to."

He had no idea that this would be the last case he'd be officiating. Here one week later, he was being funeralized.

Lt. Tragg was at this funeral... He couldn't wait to get back to the trial...He wondered who the new Judge would be.


And in a townhouse in Olde City-

"You're going to be the Judge in the Nancy Green case?" asked a surprisingly jubilant Sharrone Stokes.
"Yeah, I was assigned yesterday....I read Judge Masterson's notes and looked at the other notes on the case...I'm ready." said Judge Keith Morrison.
"Ohhhhhhh thank you...Thank you...I can recuse myself from this train wreck."said Sharrone.
She kissed him for close to SIX MINUTES...

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" she moaned.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" he moaned.
"You're going to recuse yourself?" he asked, trying to  catch his breath...
"Yes because you're my boyfriend.. I can't be there and you can't be asked to be fair if you're looking at me.." she said.

"So I'm your boyfriend?" laughed Judge Keith Morrison...

"YESSSSSSS , AREN'T YOU?" asked Sharrone.


"I'm your mannnn baby." he said..

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuu, yessssssss, you're my mannnnn!" she cooed..He slipped her blouse off as he kissed her and began to unhook her bra...

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....oh yeahhhhh!" he moaned.

"You're my sweet ,sweet mannnnnnnnn!" she cooed in between more kisses.

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AND LOVING EVERY MINUTE OF IT!" he moaned.
Slipping her panties down....
"Ummmmmmmmmmm you'd better." cooed Sharrone.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" she cooed as he lifted her up and entered her......

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" he moaned....



II-


A SOUTH PHILLY BAR-


I entered this bar, one of only three African Americans in the bar....and by far the best dressed...

I was looking for a low level wiseguy....A Gambler named Joseph "Little Joey" Genovese....Not a made guy, but a big time gambler in both Philadelphia and Atlantic City....



His 2022 Blue Corvette Stingray was positively identified by the neighbor, I talked to...They even got the license plate number right....I traced the car to him... The car was parked outside Danny Green's house during the time it was reported he was shot.

Daniel Green was deeply in debt....He was into Little Joey for 150 Large....

"Little Joey" was at a booth in the back...talking to Daniel Gillies, a "Made man"  Peter
"Little Pete "Gianni. Little Joey was with Little Pete's crew....Little Pete was just recently made and the one thing he didn't want was controversy, un needed heat...

"Joey are you stupid??? Are you crazy?? You offed a cop?? a Damn cop??Geezuz Joey his funeral is today...The whole city is upset over this." exclaimed Little Pete ,who had just returned from Atlantic City with his girlfriend..


"He owed me money Pete...150 large...He had only paid me a quarter of it...He kept giving me excuses, the guy was a degenerate gambler.. So I made an example out of him...You don't pay, you die...right..Hahahahahahahahahaha!" he laughed.


Pete slapped him hard...

"You idiot..You don't pop cops..It brings unwanted heat...." he said angrilly.


"Look they arrested and charged his wife....He was beating her...They said it was a revenge thing....They don't have a clue it was me...Hahahahahahahahahahahahah...Her trial was supposed to start today...but get this..The Judge died...on top of some young girl...He came and went huh?" he laughed....
Pete cracked up laughing until I invited myself to their table..

I sat down and smiled..

"What are you guys drinking?" I said... "Bartender...double up on their drinks...It's on me." I said and tossed some dollars on the bar before sitting down again... I used to do this when I was a Homicide detective in New Orleans when facing Wiseguys...

They could look at my suit and shoes which was tailored and very expensive and surmise I was either a cop or a gangster....

"My name is Donnie Ray Alexander....I'm an Investigator...I represent the Attorneys who are representing Nancy Green, the wife of the policeman who was murdered a few weeks ago... See naturally we don't think she is guilty because she was at work all morning...and we have a witness who said your car, Mr. Genovese was sitting in front of their home across the street from where the murder occurred , right around the time of the murder...In fact...They gave me your license plate number ,which is how I tracked you down...Brand new Vette, Sky Blue....Impressive...We would like your presence at the trial when it starts up on Monday..." I said.

Neither man said a word to me the entire time I was talking.


I plopped a subpoena in his lap...I smiled and got up..

I smiled and stood up and walked out of the bar.. I was wearing a kevlar vest and trauma plate under my suit which made me look bigger than I actually was..and I was carrying my .38 smokeless and a .22 on an ankle bracelet, just in case I had any trouble..but I had no trouble at all.

"Petey...Petey I swear...I didn't see anyone around ...Look...I'll get some of the boys, we'll find this talkative witness ,close his mouth."said Little Joey...

"Relax....You'll do nothin Joey...Pack some things... Get out of town...Go to Atlantic City for a few days...I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT!!!" said Little Pete.


"Thanks Petey...Thank you man...I owe you...I'm in debt to you." said Joey about to go in his wallet..


"What are you goin in your wallet for???, The private dick paid for everything..."laughed Pete..


"Thanks Petey." said Joey leaving the bar sweating and a little nervous...He had every reason to be sweating.



"Yo Cotillion...This is little Pete...We got a problem...Little Joey snuffed that cop...remember?  Well the cops don't know about it...but a Private Dick who works for the lawyers representing the cop's wife just dropped a subpoena in Joey's lap...If he has figured it out...The cops will too and soon...Somebody saw his car,,,,Joey is too flambouyant, too showy ,too loud and he talks too much...He's got to go...I think we should give the Philly P.D. and that woman's defense team a gift....Make sure when he's found that gun with the silencer he likes to use is found on it...Okay??? Cool! Call me when it's done." he said.


At our Office/Duplex-

''So you walked in the bar, just dropped a subpoena in this guy's lap and that was that?" asked Olivia.
"I'm here aren't I? I've confronted wiseguys half a dozen times in the same way when I was a cop and like so many of our clients have said before...I've got cop written all over me."I laughed.
"Homicide Detectives due tend to dress nicer and neater than the other cops.. but outside of Lt. Tragg, who does dress nice, I'll give him that.. They don't wear Thousand dollar suits ,sport seven hundred dollar Italian shoes and wear fragrances that cost half of their take home pay."said Beverly, hugging me.
"I'm just glad you're alright." she said.
"You may be right...but I had the look and the swagger...I haven't lost that... I walked in, invited myself to their table..There was another guy there...I bought em drinks, smiled and dropped the subpoena in his lap and got up and left....And that my dears is your case...That's how you get your client off.. Green was in debt to Little Joey 100 Large , Little Joey's car was definitely seen in the neighborhood around the time the coroners office say the murder occurred,,,,,and we know that our client was half a city away at her job...We have witnesses to attest to this...It's a slam dunk." I said.
"I have good news for us.  Judge Keith Morrison will be our new judge and when the prosecution appears it will be minus an Assistant District Attorney...I was in court earlier today and I got it on good word that Assistant District Attorney Sharrone Stokes will be recusing herself...The reason being..She is in a "personal relationship "with Judge Morrison and it would not be fair."laughed Nelson..
"I.E- They're sleeping together..."said Josie ,smiling slyly...


"AWWWWWWWWWWWW SUKI SUKI NOWWWW!" said Bresha ,Olivia and Beverly laughing to themselves...
"What's so funny guys?" said Alfreda walking into the room, holding Rockland's hand..
Her lipstick was on his collar.. 
He was blushing like crazy, trying to fix his clothes.....



They had been in the kitchen kissing passionately like two horny teenagers...we were so engaged in what we had been doing..




Beverly, Josie and Bresha in the law library in the building adjacent to our office...



And Olivia and Nelson in the Media room looking at potential jurors, and studying witness statements  and taking one last look at crime scene photos and the autopsy report...


that Alfreda and Rockland came very close to having sex in the kitchen area, but they stopped short of that...and had their clothes fixed and straightened up by the time I returned...Thank goodness.
"Ohhhhhhh Rockland Nooooo...We've got to stoppp..ouuuuuuu!" moaned Alfreda,.Her blouse open
and her slacks as well...
"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Alfreda I can't stop....I can't control myself when I'm around you..."moaned Rockland.
"Ummmmmmmmmmmmm try hard..."she said in between kisses before she put her blouse back on and fixed her slacks..
The news that Judge Keith Morrison was going to be our new Judge

and that ADA Sharrone Stokes, a very good Assistant District Attorney , who had also managed to  become our friend  was recusing herself because of her relationship with Judge Morrison...

III-

COURTROOM A- 10:00 AM

The Murder Trial Of Nancy Green finally got underway....
Nancy sat with us, looking pensive, but not completely unpleasent....
Judge Keith Morrison was the new Judge...
Assistant District Attorney Slapshot Johnson was not happy about this at all... He missed having ADA Sharrone Stokes around to pinch hit and to clean up his messes...and this was a messy case...
Lt. Tragg wasn't happy either.. He wasn't happy with the Judge ,who he felt would lean towards the defense and he too was not pleased that Sharrone Stokes was no longer on the team.... He had faith in Kevin "Slapshot" Johnson...but he felt Kevin was off his game in this trial , He had been hit with too many surprises by the defense ....a defense that was primed and ready to pounce on any and everything and was indeed pouncing, every chance they got..Sharrone Stokes , at least held her own with the defense , kept them honest, he thought.







We sat composed and ready, Hair trigger ready for our chance...



Nelson and Kevin "Slapshot" Johnson began battling it out over Jury Selection...Sharrone Stokes might have given Nelson a better battle....but Kevin "Slapshot" Johnson had to rely on himself and he was no match for Nelson... with no surprise...Nelson got 11 out of the 12 jurors picked.....



Olivia and Beverly smiled glowingly at him...

Nelson blushed..
Beverly smiled at him and winked!







He knew when Beverly looked at him like that, it meant he was in for some extra hot , steamy sex tonight after the trial was over!

Lt. Tragg glowered at Nelson....He felt some how he had pulled a stunt to get what the defense wanted....He didn't like the way this was going at all..


Kevin "Slapshot" Johnson argued that Nancy Green, who he had to admit had endured a beating, angrilly retaliated by shooting her husband to death...

He had CSI people and people from the Medical Examiners office testify and show enlarged glossies of the body in death in the living room and the official cause of death...Three gunshot wounds....One to the head and two to the chest...

He showed photos of the door being open and the body lying on the floor in the living room for all to see as they walked by...

He emphasized that that showed the cruelty of this crime even more so..




Olivia, Josie and Bresha tore into his so called witnesses comparing their testimony now, to original testimony given to police and producing credit card and debit card receipts that proved where they were in relation to the actual crime...Proving that none of them witnessed anything...They either heard it second hand or in the news media like everyone else.

On cross, they got CSI and the Medical Examiners office personell to admit that because they had no murder weapon, they had no actual forensic evidence that their client shot and killed Detective Green.

They emphasized that because she lived at the residence , it would be natural for her fingerprints and DNA to be on some things in the house....


Lt. Tragg testified to how he'd found the crime scene and how "insolent and unco-operative the suspect acted when told of her husband's death...

It was a mistake putting him on the stand..

Beverly grilled him on what led him to arrest Mrs. Green in the first place...She asked him what evidence he had...If an eyewitness had told him they'd seen her at the scene...(No one had)or if this was just another one of his "Hunches"

He was beet red as he fumbled through answer after answer....The truth was...he had no good reason to arrest her..Beverly made that abundantly clear...


Nelson asked him if he ever considered anyone else might be responsible for the crime and if he had even searched for another suspect??

He again fumbled through his answers....Actually he never did consider anyone else, He never did recanvas and attempt to arrest another suspect and he had no real evidence that this woman was even guilty..
ADA Slapshot Johnson tried to save him with a barrage of objections...


Josie and Bresha met his objections with Predicates, Laws and examples from like cases..


Judge Morrison had to rule in their favor....He smiled.. He loved these young very well prepared attorneys... Kevin "Slapshot" Johnson had tried cases in his courtroom before and had been a Barracuda , reducing less prepared Attorneys of all ages to near tears and frustration....but this week, "Olivia's kids" were giving the bully, a taste of his own medicine.. They were nearly reducing him to tears..


and Lieutenant Tragg's testimony had nearly destroyed whatever case Slapshot Johnson was trying to make..A fact that was not lost on Slapshot as he glowered angrilly at Lt. Tragg.

Slapshot Johnson finally closed his case saying "Regardless of what you heard, this woman is guilty, she mercilessly gunned down her husband in the early morning hours and then rushed to work like it was nothing." he said..
Olivia smiled. she was proud of her Niece, Beverly and Nelson and especially Josie and Bresha and how they had handled themselves during the Preliminary Hearing and the Prosecutions case...Now it was our turn to put on a defense...
I was worried...Our witness..
Little Joey Genovese, who I believed was the actual killer had not showed up to court...
Yvette's husband, Gary Lockwood, an Investigator for the D.A.'s office looked into it..

He and a Tactcal squad of police did a door to door search in his neighborhood..No one had seen Little Joey in days or heard from him...His apartment looked like he had just left and was coming right back...
There were unwashed dishes in the sink....The bed was unmade...and there was five days worth of mail stacked up... His car keys were on the dining room table...and his car


The 2022 Blue Corvette Stingray was parked outside his house...with a full tank of gas and freshly washed...

There was no sign of him... His Credit Cards and his Debit Cards hadn't been used for anything in five days...

Had he skipped town?


We began our defense anyway without him..



Olivia and Beverly opened up their defense saying that Nancy Green was a much battered woman..


They showed 64 inch photos of her with black eyes...swollen lips....and discolored cheeks.. The jury gasped.

Former ADA and now staff attorney at the Women's Law Center , Nina Rios testified that Nancy Green, an Attorney who she supervised often came to work with Blackened eyes, a swollen lip and  or discolored cheeks and always said that she fell down the steps or she walked into a door.. Nina said that she never believed her, but didn't press her..

"As an ADA ,I prosecuted Abusive Husbands and now as an Attorney at the Women's Law Center...I represent and help women who are being abused , who want to get away and have a safe haven from this kind of man..." she said.


Josie and Bresha paraded 25 witnesses who also testified to Mrs. Green's appearence and her stories of being clumsy and falling down the steps or walking into doors...None of them believed her and all of them said her husband was a most unpleasent and imposing figure when he did come to the office to pick her up..


ADA Kevin "Slapshot" Johnson argued that despite what these women think, but never witnessed...Mrs. Green had not filed one, not one complaint of brutality EVER....He asked the jury why was that?


Nelson produced Two complaints... One filed by her in Montgomery County , three years before, when the couple briefly lived there...and another filed in South Jersey after she was punched in a restaurant there where they were dining..


Olivia produced two policemen who took both calls...They admitted that once they discovered her husband was a cop they spoke with her and convinced her not to press charges...to try and work it out..
She didn't press charges in either case.


Kevin "Slapshot "Johnson was caught completely by surprise, he hung his head and looked at Lt. Tragg and shook his head in disgust....He had brought him a weak case that had not been thoroughly investigated...He looked like a fool. He had needed to know about the previously filed cases..
He looked at me... I had done a thorough investigation of everybody involved in this case. he just shook his head.





Beverly and Josie produced 15 people 12 were Attorneys from the Women's Law Center, One was the man who worked at the Food Stand outside  and another two worked at a nearby shoe store..They all testified that they saw Nancy Green at 9:00 AM at her job, near Penns Landing...That she bought a Cuban and some coffee for her lunch ,that she was at work and that she ran out to buy Pantyhose from the Shoe Store...


ADA Johnson attempted to grill them hard on cross Examination ...but to no avail...He glowered at Lt. Tragg.

"DID YOU EVEN CHECK OUT HER ALIBI??" he snarled.



"I-I-I-I DIDN'T THINK I-I NEEDED TO!" he explained.



"YOU CALL YOURSELF A HOMICIDE DETECTIVE??? A LIEUTENANT??? MY GOD ARTIE, A ROOKIE WOULD HAVE DONE A BETTER INVESTIGATION...I KEEP GETTING SURPRISES IN THIS DAMN CASE!" he yelled.

Olivia smiled.. She knew she had surprised the prosecution.


Nelson and Bresha brought up the fact that Detective Green was a gambler and deeply in debt...They called three people a piece to testify that he was 150K in debt to Joseph "Little Joey" Morgan... They produced phone records between the two....many phone calls...

They produced Little Joey Morgan's extensive arrest record...

Olivia produced the witness who said they were afraid to talk to police...because they knew Little Joey was "connected"and they recognized his car at the scene and took down the license plate number as "Insurance."




ADA Kevin "Slapshot " Johnson jumped on that...

"SO WHERE IS THIS BOOGEY MAN THAT YOU TALK ABOUT??? WHY ISN'T HE HERE??" he snarled.

"He was subpoenaed...My husband gave him a subpoena.. He has not showed...The D.A.'s office is investigating it." was all Olivia could say..

"I felt bad... I felt like as hard as everyone had worked , this would be the nail in the coffin of the prosecution's case.. I didn't expect him to dodge a subpoena.

Olivia closed...She said that her crew...




Beverly, Nelson, Josie and Bresha did a credible enough job to win an acquittal....
"This was soooo easy,...I barely had to do anything...They did it all."laughed Olivia.
She kissed me passionately...

"Thank you baby, you still did an excellent job of investigating." she said.

I still wished I had done more ,like keep an eye on Litle Joey's movements.

"I think you pulled it out, I think we got a conviction."said Lt. Tragg,.

"Oh You do huh? What trial have you been watching? You really screwed the puppy with this one Artie...You may have rushed to Judgement in arresting her."sighed Kevin "Slapshot" Johnson.


Lt. Tragg stared balefully and blankly at him.


IV-
TWO HOURS LATER-

The Jury had come back with a verdict...
"I'm scared Nina."said Nancy, lightly squeezing Nina Rios's hand...
"You have no need to be...I think Olivia and her team presented a wonderful defense."said Nina Rios.
"We presented more than enough reasonable doubt...We had a good jury."said Olivia.
"I believe so....I never wanted to win a trial as much as I wanted to win this...I wish we could have won in the preliminaries.."said Beverly.
"I wish we could have too..." I said.
"We presented reasonable doubt....No thinking jury would convict her...They'd have to be as mindless as Lt. Tragg." said Josie.
"We did Fine and I read the jury...We've had them for a long time....We got this."said Nelson.
"The day you say otherwise, is a day I'll worry." said Bresha ,smiling.
"They did a fantastic job...They were prepared...They were really ready for anything, Win or lose, it was a learning experience going up against Olivia...She's done a marvelous job with the attorneys who work under her."said Slapshot..
"Don't Go all fan girl on me....They're alright...but they use a lot of stunts,legal loopholes.."snarled Lt. Tragg.

"Has the Jury come to a decision?" asked Judge Morrison.

"Yes we have your honor." said the Jury Foreman who passed the letter with the decision to the bailiff.
The Baillif passed it to Judge Morrison who read it..Shook his head and passed it back.

"Read it." he said quietly.

"THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA VS NANCY E. GREEN...WE THE JURY FIND HER NOT GUILTY ON THE CHARGE OF FIRST DEGREE MURDER!" he said.

"I'd like to thank the jury for your attention to this matter...You can grab your checks at the door..You are now dismissed."said Judge Morrison.
"OH MY GOD!!! IT'S OVER!! MY NIGHTMARE IS OVER!!" said Nancy Green...
"I told you...I told you they'd get you off.."said Nina Rios.
"Oh Olivia, Beverly forgive me for ever doubting you guys."said Nancy as she hugged them both..
"You're Welcome..."said Olivia.
"You should have never of been arrested." said Beverly...
"Oh Nelson...You are a genius when it comes to reading and picking juries."said Nancy ,hugging him and kissing him on the cheek.
"Welllll uh, what can I say?" laughed Nelson...
"Goofball."laughed Josie, playfully punching him on the shoulder.
"Do something fun tonight." said Bresha.
"Oh I plan to..." said Nancy ,hugging me and kissing me on my cheek..

"Thank you so much,  for everything." said Nancy...
"You're Welcome." I said.

Olivia and Beverly leaped into the air and high fived each other..

"WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" they yelled exuberantly...



Kevin "Slapshot " Nash took his loss graciously...He bowed and quietly slipped out of the courtroom...



Lt. Tragg was stunned... He actually believed he was going to see Nancy Green convicted in this case..

"I DON'T BELIEVE IT!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT...THEY'VE DONE IT AGAIN!!!!! THEY ACTUALLY GOT HER OFFF!! ARGHHHHHHHHHH!" he snarled.

Nancy's boyfriend, Zack Taylor was standing in the crowd, waiting for her....

"Nancy....Here I am...I knew you'd be exonerated...I knew you were innocent.." he said.

"OHHHHHHHHHHHH ZACK!!!!" she said..

and kissed him passionately.....


"She had a boyfriend!!! She has the nerve to have been stepping out on Danny.....No wonder he was beating the shit out of her.." he bellowed.

"Which explains why you're single...You're a Neanderthal, just like your late friend Danny Green!...And he had three wives....Three wives too many...Three women's lives he destroyed...but my friend here didn't kill hm, but I wouldn't have blamed her if she had of.."said Nina.

"Don't waste your breath Nina...He's going to believe what he wants to believe anyway."said Olivia.
"Yes, come on.."said Beverly...
"Let's get out of here."said Nelson..
"I know a great Brunch spot.."I said.
"Thank God for Donnie Ray."said Josie.

"He knows all of the goods spots.."said Bresha.

The nine of us, 










Nina, Olivia, Beverly, Nelson, Me, Josie , Bresha , Nancy and Zack left  the courthouse together..





I took us all to a very nice rooftop restaurant and Brunch spot I knew...A Nice way to end a big case.



EPILOUGE-

A Few days after the trial.. The Body of Joseph "Little Joey" Genovese washed up on the shore...
He had been shot two times in the back of the head..

He had a gun on him with a silencer...



A Ballistics test proved that this was the gun that had killed Detective Sgt. Daniel Green....

Joey Genovese was listed as the probable killer of Detective Green and not Nancy Green.


Lt. Tragg was written up by Captain Cantrell and the Deputy Of Operations for doing a faulty investigation.



A Deli tray and an apology to Nancy Green... He begrudgingly did so..


One Friday afternoon-A week later-

Everyone was sitting on their front steps.....They were waiting for Olivia's buses to come to transport us to the Roller Skating rink in Bayside.

"After the week everybody had the roller Skating Rink will be a nice respite."said Kayla.
"Yeah, my caseload is finally empty." he said smiling...
"Ours too! We won a big case...one upping old Lt. Tragg."said Josie.,
"When they found that gangster's body floating in the river with the murder weapon on him, he finally had to admit that once again he'd arrested the wrong person."said Paris.
"'ll bet he feels like a big fool..."said Jessica.
"No more than he usually does.."laughed Gary..
"That man lives in our heads too much...We're going some place nice tonight and he won't be there.."said Yvette.
"He's not thinking about us...He's got a new car....He bought it from the Police Auction, a 2022 
Blue Corvette Stingray....It used to belong to that dead gangster they fished out of the river."laughed Gary.
"I remember the last car he had...That Muscle Car." said Keith Jones.
"That car was nice." said Bee Bee , who liked cars...
"It was until somebody blew it to Smitthereens." said Kahlil.

Sofia and Jade cracked up laughing..
"Nobody ever found out who did that."said Danny Ho...
"Probably somebody he pissed off.."said Alfreda..
"Don't look at me..It wasn't me."laughed Rockland.




Across the street..

"Those Buses should be here shortly.....Zoey and Lem can't make it tonight...They had another engagement.."said Olivia.
''Sorry to hear that."
"Virginia called.Jetty is driving...They said they'd meet us there." said Beverly.
"Okay, cool..."said Nelson..
"Tonight should be fun.."said jazzy..
"I'm ready to get my skate on..."said Dabnis.
"Oh My God!!! I don't believe it,Look!"said Bresha pointing..
"Look!" said Tony...


Lt. Tragg drove his new car. The Blue 2022 Corvette Stingray down our street...


He laughed at the expressions on our faces as he cruised down our block in his new car...Arrogant as ever....

We lived rent free in his head too!

FOR SLC
