Murder Is A Dish Best Served Cold

At a very tony downtown hotel....
In their equally tony rooftop bar...
A Citris Martini..
and a Mango Martini was being served...
Attorney Nelson East peered over at his wife, Beverly West.. and gushed...

"I think that's the fifth one for both of us... I'm starting to get a little buzz..... Damn Bev, you're the hottest woman in here.." he said.

"You sure that's not the liquor talking?" said his wife, Beverly West...
"No.... it's not... I'm staring at you , the same way I stared at you years ago, when your aunt Olivia introduced you to me as her niece... I had seen photos of you before... Your Aunt alsways bragged about you being in law school and how proud she was of you and Kayla... She talked about helping you and Kayla study for the bar and how you guys aced it... I saw your graduation photos...but when you walked through that door and I saw you in person...It was lights out!!! Game over for me... And even though I had other girlfriends before you and I finally got together...I always knew it was you...That you were the one...HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BABY!" he said and hugged Beverly...
"AWWWWWWWWWWWW! You're gonna make me cry Nelson..Happy Aniversary to you too!" she said.

"It wasn't love at first sight for me...but you eventually grew on me and I began to realize that you were everything I needed, everything I needed to make me happy and keep me happy and centered...and it didn't take me long to fall in love with you...even though I tried to fight it....But everybody around me could see it.. My Auntay, Cousin Kayla, My Mom-Mom...even Jazzy....I was in love with you as far back as when we were Public Defenders....but I just kept fighting what everybody around me could clearly see... Especially Jazzy..




I kinda wasn't speaking to her while you two were dating...but after you guys broke up and she announced she was leaving the Public Defenders Office, we became friends again and she told me that you loved me, that you couldn't help yourself ,talking about me all the time...I should have come to my senses then, but it took some time..Thank you for being patient and waiting for me..I Love you Nelson and I always will." said Beverly..


And the two of them kissed passionately.... Nelson ran his hands up her skirt and slid it up a little bit,,


taking a peek at her panties...

"Ohhhhhh my godddddddd!" he exclaimed.. They were beautiful....Aqua Blue stripes  and white with naval anchor designs on them.....

Beverly quickly pulled her skirt down and removed his hands..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUU ! NELSONNNN!!!!!! Control yourself!!!... That was supposed to be a surprise...That's why I got dressed up in Auntay's room...So you wouldn't see my outfit or my underwear.." said Beverly...who didn't want all of her "Business " exposed to a crowd of people... even though the small crowd wasn't paying any attention to them..
"Damnnnnnn! Well that was a nice surprise..." said Nelson, grinning from ear to ear...
"You are soooo nasty!! Beverly giggled!! " That's why we got a room here, so you could see em in private......Last time I was here...With Kayla and Jazzy and Hortense and murderous Mya...Three murders occurred here...all in one weekend...But I always liked this Bar they had here and that pool..


This is a nice place..I'm glad to be here on pleasure and not business.." said Beverly..

"Me too! Here comes our food Honey Bun." said Nelson..
"Ouuuuuuuuuuu It looks and smells Delish.... HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BABY!" said Beverly again..
They kissed passionately a little more.



Two thick New York Strip Steaks and Two Baked Potatoes arrived with butter just dripping down them.. After all of that drinking...They were famished...

Across the bar from them , another drama was unfolding.

"This is all of them...Seven letters sent to me, threatening me if we go through with our marriage... As you can see they were typed on an old style typewriter...with the "D" slightly damaged...and look at this last one..He cut letters out of the newspapers and magazines like a maniac and pasted them to paper...like a child...Maybe we should hold off on our wedding plans." said Katie Williams..

"No...We won't be bullied....I know a lawyer, a damn good lawyer named Olivia Bennett-Alexander...My Uncle swears by her and has her and her firm on his speed dial..We'll go to her and she'll put some heat on him, starting with a cease and desist order, a restraining order and a harrassment lawsuit...That will cool his ass off." said her fiance, Paul Wilson.

"You don't know him!  No lawyer is going to stop him..." said Katie Willows.



"Mr. and Mrs. East....Wellllll fancy meeting you two in this place." said Private Investigator and Former FBI Agent, Bert Vandenberg..
"Hello Bert." said Beverly...
''We are celebrating our wedding anniversary...6 years..."said Nelson..
"WOWWWW! CONGRATULATIONS YOU TWO....You give new meaning to the term, POWER COUPLE!" laughed Bert..
Beverly laughed....
''So you out just enjoying the night Bert?" asked Nelson..
"I wish...I like this bar....I'm here to meet a client... Enjoy your meal you two...Congratulations.."said Bert as he walked away..

His Babyfaced client, Wealthy Hedge Fund Manager, Stephen Bowers III sat alone
Nursing a Citris Martini. He saw Bert walking towards him..

"You're late." he said.
"Traffic was murder... Anyway...your suspicions are correct...Katie and Paulie are still seeing each other as evidenced by these photos taken by my operative just last night....




There was photos of the two kissing and making sweet love in Katie's loft downtown...

Seeing the photos of Katie and Paulie made him grimace and nearly brought him to tears....
"ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH!" he yelled out.

''Would you cool it?  They're in here...They're across the bar...Look!" said P.I. Bert Vandenberg..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" moaned an angry Stephen Bowers III...
''Paulie! Stephon is in here..See him sitting across the bar with that other man?" asked Katie.
"I see him....Let's give him something to really look at." said Paulie..
He took Katie in his arms and kissed her passionately... 
Meanwhile, totally oblivious to that drama, Beverly looked in Nelson's eyes...

"That meal was incredible....Do you want another drink?" asked Beverly...

"No! I just want you!" said Nelson...
"I want you too!" whispered Beverly....
"Check Please!" said Nelson...

They paid their bill and headed towards the elevator that would take them downstairs to their room..

Meanwhile , sitting a distance away from where they had been sitting.

''Come On Paulie...Let's get out of here." said Katie..
"Okay" said Paulie, who paid their bill...

As they were walking out...

Stephon Bowers III stuck his foot out, causing Paulie to trip and fall...

"HEYYYYY WATCH WHERE YOU'RE WALKING!" he jeered..


"Why you little rat!!" said an angry Paul Wilson.. getting to his feet....



"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?" said Stephon Bowers III, Punching Paulie in the jaw, using Brass Knuckles..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUF!" Paulie groaned! 

The punch broke his jaw and knocked him unconscious...


Bert sighed and hustled his young rich client out of the bar...

"You little asshole, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU??" he yelled as they headed for the elevator..

Katie knelt down....she looked at Paulie's unconscious body....as a small crowd of onlookers who had seen the altercation go down gathered around them...

"SOMEBODY CALL AN AMBULANCE!!!" she screamed out!


II-
It was a beautiful night...

Nelson and Beverly were two floors below and unaware of what had happened in the bar almost immediately after they had left...



Beverly and Nelson were finally alone in their room....


The kissing got hotter in the room....

"HAPPY ANNIVERSARY NELSON....I LOVE YOU!" whispered Beverly..


"HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BEVERLY....I LOVE YOU TOO!" whispered Nelson..


As they began kissing some more...

Nelson slowly slipped Beverly's dress over her head...He gazed at her pretty panties..

"OHHHHHHHH MY GODDDD!" he exclaimed.

"YOU LIKE THEM?" she asked..

"I love them." he said..

Beverly giggled...

and then unsnapped her equally pretty bra  and slipped it off..

Nelson's eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets///

"OH MY GODDDDD BEVERLY! ANCHORS AWAYYYY!" he moaned..

Beverly giggled...She loved that she turned him on so much!

"YOU ARE SOOOO SILLY!" she laughed..


''Meooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!"she cooed and leaned over and kissed him passionately... 

 "Ummmmmmmmmmmmph....ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.." he moaned...

Beverly could see that his trousers were standing out like a circus tent... ,

She softly rubbed his erection and continued deep throat kissing him....as he undressed... She continued stroking him softly.....


Nelson sucked on her breasts and kissed her breasts, her neck and her cheekbones and finally her lips....She moaned and leaned her head back......She was giddy with excitement....

Nelson started by kissing Beverly from her mouth down to her breasts, He began giving her french kisses,He moved his lips slowly across her breasts down to her body, She trembled a bit..

He placed a hand on both of her shapely legs and slowly spread them, Instead he kissed her vagina  even squeezed it slightly with his lips,



They continued kissing...Nelson spread her legs and slowly entered her moving in and out... Beverly was so wet...smelled so good and her skin was so soft that Nelson was nearly in  a dze, not knowing if he was coming or going..


 "OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU....UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM ,OHHHHHHHHHH MY GODDDD!!! OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU, NELSONNN!" she moaned. Her entire body was trembling....

 Beverly was near delirium.. .. He kissed her between her legs for a few minutes He moved slightly lower, kissing along her inner thigh. He licked & kissed her inner thigh... Then he began deep throat kissing her again...

She was breathing heavily and her body was shaking.. "OH MY GODDDDD NELSON....UMMMMMMM!" she cooed. 

 "OHHHHHHHHHHH BEVERLY....OHHHHHHHHHHH!" Nelson moaned.

"YOU'VE DREAMED OF DOING THINGS LIKE THIS TO ME FOR YEARS HAVEN'T YOU..OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU, OHHHH MY GODDDDD!" she moaned.

"YES....YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS, OUUUUUUUUUUUUU YESSSSSSSS!" moaned Nelson.

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM, YOU NASTY BOY!" she cooed..





"Ouuu husband...Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"Beverly moaned...She was very close to having a very intense orgasm....So was Nelson.. Her body was trembling...

 "OH MY GOD BEVERLY...OUUUUUUU!" he moaned.

And she mounted him...allowing him to move in and out of her as she slowly moved up and down...Neither of them could believe it..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUU NELSON I'M IN LOVEEEE." Beverly cooed.

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH BEVERLY, I'VE BEEN IN LOVE...UMMMMM. SINCE THE FIRST DAY I LAID EYES ON YOUUUUUUUU...OUUUUUUUUU!" He said.

"AWWWWWWWWWWW"she said as they moved up and down in the bed....




She rode him like a surfer rides the waves, while kissing him passionately...

Waves of pleasure went through both of them as their bodies trembled...

THREE TO FOUR HOURS LATER!

They were in bed and he was mounting her missionary style...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU WOUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" Beverly screamed to the top of her lungs...She was having an intense orgasm...her body trembling, tears flowing freely down the side of her face and her head moving from side to side...

 "OH MY GOD BEVERLY...OUUUUUUU! It's SOOOOO DAMN GOOOOD!!" Nelson moaned. moaned.

They made sweet, sweet love for the next NINE TO TEN HOURS with no interference from anyone.. Both of their phones were cut off... No one in the world mattered except the two of them...



When it was over ! Beverly lie peacefully on Nelson's chest, breathing softly....

"I love you Bev." Nelson whispered to her...

"I love you too Nelson." she whispered to him as she drifted off to sleep.. a very peaceful sleep....


At the hospital....

"He's fine Ms.Willows... he suffered a slight concussion and a fractured jaw... He's under sedation now, He's resting..." said a nurse..

"Oh Thank God!  "said Katie Willows....She looked at the card in her pocket.. The Card that Paulie had given her.

OLIVIA BENNETT-ALEXANDER /BEVERLY WEST- Attorneys at Law

"I know where these guys live and I've heard of them... I've had it with Stephen... It's time for him to hurt some." she said angrily...


III-

TWO DAYS LATER-

We were all up in Olivia and I's domicile to welcome Beverly and Nelson home..

"There's my babyyyyyyyyyyy! I missed you so much!" said Olivia, hugging and kissing her niece and rocking her back and forth...
"Awwwwwwwwwwww Auntayyyy!  Everything was just wonderful!" said Beverly, gushing..
Nelson smiled sheepishly...
"Mannnnnnn I'm surprised you can walk.." I jokingly whispered to Nelson..
"Awwwwwwww man, you just don't knowwww....Ouuuuuuuuu!" said Nelson, who looked exhausted.... He didn't have to tell me.. I knew he and Shortcake had had marathon sex....
"I missed you girl...My favorite dish partner wasn't around..."said Josie..


"Awwwwwww I missed you too Josie girl!" said Beverly...

"Welcome back guys." said Paris..
"Hey Bev, Nelson, missed you both." said Bresha, hugging Beverly...
''Awwwwww I missed you guys too!" said Beverly , hugging Bresha...
''Welcome back...That seems like a nice spot... Bree and I's anniversary is coming up...We might go there." said Tony...

"Come here Baby girl, let me hug you, you too Son in law..." said Alfreda..

"Hiiiiii Mommmy !" said Beverly, hugging her mother...


"Hi Mrs. J. " said Nelson.... "I mean Mrs. C." said Nelson..


"That's okay...I know what you mean." said Alfreda. It was a nice reunion.....

"Believe it or not...I'm ready to go back to work..." said Beverly.
"Yeah, Me too!" laughed Nelson..
"It's been kind of quiet lately, a couple of bond cases...a few negotiations...Nothing big.. I'd prefer to keep it that way for a change.." laughed Olivia.

We had no idea...our peace and  tranquility was soon coming to an end.
For at this moment in another bar..... 
"You idiot!!!... You just bought yourself a whole world of trouble...You physically assaulted that man with Brass Knuckles...It's illegal to even have those...in a room full of witnesses...They both can sue you for damages....DO YOU REALIZE THAT? and if called to testify, I'm not an attorney...and I'm not going to lie for you...They could also go to the police and have you arrested in addition, if they haven't already....Why are you so hung up on that girl?  You're loaded, you're young, single, reasonably good looking, you could have any number of eligible young women." said Bert Vandenberg to his client, Stephen Bowers III.
"I met her first and I liked her....I had her....NOBODY LEAVES ME, NOT UNTIL I'M THROUGH WITH THEM!!!She left me and for him.....I couldn't take it.. I lost my head momentarily."said Stephen Bowers III.

"Oh Yeah?  Well you may have lost more than your head bucko....You may have lost some money  and your freedom.." warned Bert Vandenberg.

IV-


The next day....We all were back to work....

Sitting in the conference room...

"Bree, here are the briefs on the Dorfmon Case... Could you take this down to Federal court and file it with Judge Stevens?" asked Olivia.. "You should like this...you're just blocks from the Bridge Building.. You'll get to eat lunch with your hubby today." said Olivia, smiling.
"Ouuuuuuuuuu yes...Thank you Liv... I'll do it." said Bresha, eagerly taking the briefs...
Josie whispered to Beverly... " So...I know your husband loved the Bra and Panty set that I picked out for you."
"Ouuuuu girl, that was good looking out,,,,That was the nicest set Bridget had in there for a long time... He loved it.. I couldn't keep him off of me." whispered Beverly as both girls laughed..
''Donnie Ray, you may have to sell me another ring.. I want to marry her all over again." said Nelson to me, laughing.
I burst out laughing...

"Must have been good.. " I said,laughing..

and in the Kitchen........

ADA Rockland Cambridge and his new wife, our office manager were kissing passionately...
"AWWWWWWWWWW...OHHHHHHHHHHH!" he moaned.
"If you don't calm down...I'm going to make you stop and I'm going in the front office, where I should be anyway.." said Alfreda
As she continued to kiss him passionately... They were like two high school kids making out in a car at a drive in.
Rockland unsnapped Alfreda's slacks...and was marveling at her pretty lace panties....

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm!" he moaned..

She snapped her slacks back up...


"Calm down Rockland...Everybody is in the next room....." said Alfreda..


The doorbell rang...


"OHHH, WHO THE HELL IS THAT?" asked an angry Rockland...always angry when he and Alfreda were interrupted...


"Oh calm down Horny toad!" laughed Alfreda as she went to the door..

Alfreda escorted a white couple into our conference room... The woman was very attractive with long dark hair.. The man was reasonably handsome, except that his jaw was wired and his face was a little swollen..

"Olivia, Beverly, My name is Katie Willows...and I would like to hire you....
This is my fiance, Paulie Wilson... His jaw is wired...it was broken a few nights ago....which is why we are here...We are being harrassed by a man named Stephen Bowers III...I was once engaged to him... I broke it off...He didn't take it well.." she said.


"I see...That's what he did to your current fiance?" I asked.

"He hit him with some brass knuckles.." said Katie..

"Oh My God!" said a horrified Olivia.
"Ouch" said Nelson.

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuu" exclaimed Josie.



Paulie showed us all of the letters that had been written , threatening them both... Typed on a old typewriter with a damaged "D" key and one letter in which letters had been cut out of newspapers and pasted on paper...

"Josie, make copies of this....Everything... Then take the originals to Police Headquarters and file a complaint on her behalf...his behalf too.. You can go with Bree."said Olivia.



"On it Liv." said Josie.



"We are going to get a Cease and Desist and a Restraining order against him and have the police swear out a warrant against him for assault and battery..You should have called the police the night this happened." said Beverly...

"My Uncle is Attorney  James Hughes...You know my cousin, Assistant District Attorney Brittany Hughes...They both have spoken very highly of you and your firm...They swear by you."said  Paulie, just managing to speak.




"Yes...I know them both quite well...It's a small world isn't it?" said Olivia.

"Indeed" said Paulie, holding his jaw.
"Don't try to talk baby,, Olivia, thank you and your associates for your attention to this matter, we just want the harrassment to stop." Said Katie.

"Tomorrow we are going to visit him personally and inform him that it's going to stop." said Olivia.


THE NEXT MORNING, 7:00 AM




Stephen Bowers III was in his office early this morning... before anyone else arrived....He was sitting back drinking coffee when he heard footsteps in the hallway... No one was supposed to be here this early...It was one of the few times he had any peace..

He looked up..

"What are you doing here? Get out of my office!!!" he said..


a gun was raised and aimed at him...

His eyes got as wide as saucers...

"No please..please....NOOOO!!!please don't....I'm sorrry...I'm sorry. Please...Please!!! You want money? I'll give you anything you want... PLEASEEEEEE!" he begged.. tears in his eyes..

FIVE SHOTS WERE FIRED!! Three hit him in the chest....one went between his eyes and exited out the back of his head, killing him instantly and the last one went through his right hand...

He toppled over and fell out of his chair...landing on the floor by his desk!

Whoever shot him calmly walked down the hall and down the side door, exiting out of the back entrance..


The five of us were en route to his office with a restraining order and a cease and desist letter and a letter  informing him of our intent to sue him for damages on behalf of our clients..

I was driving...

"Usually it's just me and Shortcake on these little missions... We all must really be bored ,for all of us to be coming along for this.. " I said, smiling..
''We are!! We haven't had a big case in weeks...What we need is a nice juicy murder case." joked Olivia..
"Ouuuuuuuu be careful what you wish for." laughed Bresha who was sitting up front with us.
"I know right? "said Olivia, who turned around and looked in the backseat... Her niece, Beverly was sitting on Nelson's lap, kissing him passionately... "Hey you two!  HEYYYYYYYY! Come up for air!" she joked.


Beverly and Nelson ignored her and continued kissing passionately....
Josie just laughed....




8:15 AM, we pulled up in front of the building...

"This is a nice building." said Beverly...
"Yes, real modern." said Nelson..
"Ohhhhhh you two came up for air long enough to notice that huh?" joked Olivia.





Beverly, Nelson, Josie , Bresha and I cracked up laughing.... I put money in the meter, I didn't expect for us to be in here long..


We got on the elevator and headed upstairs to his office..


The minute we stepped into the office, we saw the lifeless body of Stephen Bowers III on the floor, one arm slumped in the waste basket, the rest of him on the floor in a pool of blood.

"Ugh Oh,looks like he had a visitor before us." I said.


''And they weren't too happy with him either." said Nelson..

"Oh My God." said Olivia....
"Don't anybody touch anything." said Beverly...
"Donnie Ray!! Is he.. Is he...?" asked Josie.

"Is he dead?" asked Bresha, finishing her sentence..


I took his pulse... He was dead!

"Yeah, he's dead...and from the feel of his body...It's still warm.. he hasn't been dead that long,,about an hour or so....We just missed running into his killer." I said.

"Lucky us." said Beverly...
"Call 911 and the police somebody." said Olivia.
