THE OFFICE OF ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY  HARRIET YELLER-

Party girl, engaged to Alan Redding jr,  Carter Baum III, Reid Wilson

Romantically linked to Assistant District Attorney Roger Dantly, Judge Raymond Stevens and  Wayne Heckleberg....

"Hmmmmm Ole girl certainly has been around, hasn't she?" she thought, after looking at her dossier..

She was interrupted by a staffer bringing her a vase of Red and white Roses.. There was a note on the vase..  The Roses were from Lt. Tragg.

He walked into the office ,ten minutes later...

"Good morning, Look we got off on the wrong foot....Let's start over...We are going to be working together on this case...I'm the Lieutenant with Homicide...I made the arrest...I was thinking maybe we, you and I could go out to dinner....I know a place that serves Steaks this thick!" he said using his forefinger to describe it..."Or we could have seafood...A little dinner some  quiet conversation..Heh Heh heh!"

"Heh heh heh heh, Lt. Tragg I need some more work on this case...You've given me no information on the murder victim...I need you to go and get the full autopsy...and I need a credible motive established..Your theory of him breaking it off with her doesn't jibe...He gave her 100K that last night they were together...She's using that money to pay her legal fees...bet'cha didn't know that....I need more information on this case..It's weak...Very Weak!" said ADA Yeller.

"Well I think we could discuss this over a nice dinner and a nice port of wine."said Lt. Tragg.

"NO!  Get me some more information on this case Lieutenant!" she said dismissively...

"Well uh what about us uh going out to eat?" asked Lt. Tragg, totally ignoring what she had just said.

"We are not!  I need some more work on this case...You've given me no information on the murder victim...I need you to go and get the full autopsy..I need more information on this case..It's weak...Very Weak!" said ADA Yeller.

He stood there staring balefully at her...

She looked up from the dossiers on her desk..

"Was there something else you wanted?" she asked.

He didn't answer...He turned and angrily walked out of her office...

At the Penthouse of Odell Sleet

We all sat in his comfortable conference room with him and another one of his attorneys, not his fixer.

"Odell, your Penthouse and Your Conference Room is beautiful...Thank you for seeing us."said Olivia.

"Thank You" said Beverly as a servant poured steaming hot cups of coffee for the six of us.

"Three Creams, Six Sugars...Thank You.."said Nelson.

"I'll take the same."said Josie..

''So will I."said Bresha.

"Mine is fine Black." I said.

We sipped our coffees...

His other Attorney was an Afro Cuban woman named Ciara Cologne....

"Hello...My Associate, Mr. Hunt spoke to Josie yesterday...He couldn't be here this morning...He had some other business to take care of...but he has briefed me completely on everything...I speak with full authority for Mr. Sleet." she said.

"Olivia, Beverly....associates...Welcome to my humble abode...Let's get down to cases...What is this about?" said Mr. Sleet.

''As you know we are defending a young lady accused of  murdering Wayne Heckleberg, a man you had a business relationship with..." said Olivia..

"Mr. Sleet's Business relationship with Mr. Heckleberg was a limited one...They weren't close friends or business associates." said Ciara Cologne.

Beverly pulled out some documents.

"This shows that you as well as a few others invested huge chunks of money into his accounts most of last year ....With the promise that the retailers he was planning to buy would turn over huge profits,only that never happened...and by November, you were out close to one billion...You were the biggest loser of the nine people he suckered into these investments.."said Beverly.

"What you didn't know was this was an elaborate Ponzi Scheme.. Mr. Heckleberg had been siphoning money out of various Hedge Funds...and his house, was unknown to most up for sale..he had put it on the market and was planning to move out of Philadelphia soon...Just weeks before his death..."said Josie.

Nelson pulled out some documents.... "This was sent to you and the eight others involved that he was under investigation by the SEC and The IRS....These are copies...These letters are all a matter of Public Record.. I know your Attorney , Mr. Hunt informed you of this..."said Nelson...

"Okay...we had a bad business relationship with Mr. Heckleberg, but has that got to do with your defense of Ms. Davis? Asked Ciera Cologne.

"It goes to motive....My client was in a sexual or romantic relationship with Mr. Heckleberg...she had no reason to kill him...She hadn't invested any money in his Ponzi Scheme...but all nine of you men lost loads of money to him and one of you , one of you killed him..."said Olivia.

I passed his lawyer , a subpoena..

"That's a court summons...We want you to appear in court...Simply to tell the jury about Heckleberg...The other gentlemen have already been served... You know...The M.E.'s Office still hasn't officially called this a homicide..It's still listed as "Inconclusive."  With your testimony and their lack of a motive, We all might walk out of court free and clear." I said.

"I have an alibi for the Night of the uh so called murder Mr. Alexander... I was at the Egyptian Club...You know the exclusive hedonistic gentlemen's club...I believe you defended someone accused of a murder in there some month's back..I was there all night and into the morning...Check it out...I'm known there..I'm sure I'm on the video cameras..."said Odell Sleet, laughing.. "I'm a big fan Mrs. Alexander." he said.

''Oh Really?" laughed Olivia.

"We will certainly look into this.. Is there anything else Mrs. Bennett-Alexander?" asked Ciera Cologne.

"No , We are done here...Thank you for meeting with us."said Olivia.

"Despite the Subpoena...It was a pleasure meeting all of you."said Odell Sleet.

It was hard to dislike him, He was such a pleasent man..

Me, Beverly, Nelson, Bresha and Josie followed Olivia out.

Of Course I checked his alibi out..

He was where he said he was...At the Egyptian Club, the stylish Hedonistic Gentlemen's Club... Just like he said he was....His Credit Card said it...I saw him on the club's video monitors...and the staff I interviewed told me..His alibi checked out!

II-

I returned home...Olivia and the gang were waiting for me and the food they ordered for lunch had just arrived.

"You're just in time. The Food Just got here...." said Olivia, smiling as usual.

"His Alibi checked out...He indeed was at the Egyptian Club on the night and Early Morning of the murder. I saw him on the film footage...His Credit Cards Bear him out and I talked to the staff..He was there all night and early into the morning." I said, Munching on the Onion rings and salivating over the thick juicy Burgers placed in front of all of us...

''Well you didn't think he was there at the man's house did you?  This man bilked him out of a Billion dollars...The last place he'd be is over Hecklberg's house...He might have strangled him."laughed Beverly as she munched on her burger..

"We KNOW our client was with him, in bed making love....She said she wasn't aware of any Red Bull being in the house."said Nelson, who was also chowing down...

"This sounds strangely familliar to another case we had dealing with spiked Red Bull." said Josie.

"Yeah...I knowwwwww.....They said over at the M.E.'s Office that one set of prints on the can was definitely Wayne Heckleberg's, the other was our client and there was another unidentified set of prints on the can.....

"Not only that...There were six more cans of Red Bull in the Fridge....The same unidentified fingerprints were on those cans...and get this...Those cans were tampered with...All six cans  had a lethal dosage of Viagra and Amyl Nitrate  ground up into the mix...Meaning Heckleberg could have died at any time..He had already downed one can they found in the trash and had swigged half of a can before he had sex.... " said Nelson..

"Amber told me they were in bed making love for close to EIGHT OR NINE HOURS......He was non stop and really excited.."said Beverly...

"WHAT A STUD MUFFIN!" said Josie..

Olivia howled with laughter....

"This killer had a knowledge of his heart condition and just what it would take to send him over the edge...and it was done so well that the M.E.'s office was calling the cause of death inconclusive.." I said.

"Oh No...they're calling it a Homicide...Here is the full report." said Bresha..."It was upgraded from "Inconclusive to Homicide...For once, Lt. Tragg was right!" said Bresha.

"ALFREDA!! YOUR BURGER IS GETTING COLD!" Olivia yelled from the conference room..

"I'm coming." she responded..

"I'm about to Cum myself." said her husband, Rockland, who had her in the kitchen..

He had opened her slacks and was marveling at her panties.

They were kissing passionately...

Alfreda fixed her clothes and straightened herself up..

"Okay...that's enough...Go back to work, Horny Toad.." she said, smiling..

"Alright...but it's going to be hard to leave you..." he said..

"It's very hard....I felt it.. You are one lovesick Puppy, you know that Rockland/" said Alfreda.She kissed him slowly and softly one last time.

"But I love you....Now go to work..." she said with a smile as he exited.

She walked into the conference room...  Beverly passed her her burger and her share of onion rings..

"Ummmm , still warm and smells soooo good." said Alfreda.

"Yes...they wrap em up real well."said Beverly.

"Donnie Ray, Men like Odell Sleet don't get their hands dirty...You know that...And he made sure he was seen someplace very public..."said Nelson.

"Yes he did! He or one of those other men has the money to hire someone who hired a slick assassin to do Heckleberg in quietly and make it look like an accident.. Whoever this killer is...He or she is good, They work clean and my guess is...They probably never even met Mr. Sleet." I said.

"I was on the phone with Hazel...She said they sent that extra set of prints to the Criminal Investigation Divison and The FBI /ATF units in their building..They're going to run those prints through Interpol." said Olivia.

"Do you want that last Onion Ring Bree?" asked Josie...

"No, you can have it!" said Bresha.

"I thought Sleet's Attorney, Ciera Cologne was sharp...but where was Hunt? His main attorney?" asked Olivia.

"I don't know...Sleet said he had other business to attend to...but on the days leading up to the death of Heckleberg.. Hunt made three calls to France...Blocked numbers and transferred 1 million dollars from a dummy account in the Caymen Islands to a French Bank account..Also a dummy account...And ordered round trip tickets from Paris to Philadelphia for someone.. I don't know who...I'd like to ask him about that." I said.

I didn't know it then, but I'd never get to ask him those questions...

at this very moment In A Parking garage in downtown Philly...

A young man sat in the dark by his car, waiting...

"You're late." he said.

"I'm sorry! It takes time to round up this kind of cash...As agreed, one million before and another million after the job is done..You did good work...Unfortunately...There has been a sort of glitch...No fault of yours, but this crime has been identified as a murder...My employer doesn't want any loose ends..so you uh have to go..being a loose end..This wasn't personal, strictly a business decision, one that we regret."said Attorney Alan Hunt..There was no money in his briefcase...Only a pistol!!!!!

He pulled out a pistol with a silencer and fired three shots into the man's chest, The man recoiled in horror and pain....

"ARGGGGHHHHHHHHH YOU BACKSTABBER!!! ARGHHHHHHHH! I DON'T BELIEVE EEEEEET, I HAVE BEEN SHOT!! OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" screamed the man in pain

He pulled out a small .38 smokeless and returned fire striking Attorney Alan Ruck in the side, in the chest and in the left buttocks...

"AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH BALONEY!!!! AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I DON'T BELIEVE IT...I'VE BEEN SHOT, AWWWW
LAWDDDDDDDDD! I'VE BEEN SHOT IN THE ASS..AWWWWWWWWW! " he said and collapsed a few feet away....He struggled  to breathe...one of his lungs had been punctured...His glasses fell off and he slumped to the ground, dead...very dead...as his blood ran like a river on the asphalt....

A small crowd appeared ,having heard the gunshots to find to their horror, both men ,lying in pools of blood.

The other man lie in between two parked cars, gasping for air...before he too, died!

"MAMA!" was his last word.....

III-

HOURS LATER-

"Looks like these two fellows shot each other..."said one of the CSI men....

"This one between the two cars has three gunshot wounds to the chest....It didn't stop him from firing three shots from this .38 smokeless into his attacker.. Body is still warm.. I'd say he's been dead two hours."said Dr. Hazel Baylor.

"Same with this one here , been dead about two hours. This man here took three shots...one in the left buttock, one in the side and one in the chest that punctured his lung.. He's got a gun that looks like it has a silencer on him.."said Dr, Marcy Martin..

"Looks like this guy here must have shot that guy over there in between the cars first...but guy by the car was still alive and shot him, judging by the trajectory of his shots...in the butt, then in the side and one to the chest..."said a CSI guy...

"This other guy took all three of his ,center mast...It's a wonder he had the strength to return fire.."said another CSI guy.

'Yeah I know..."said another CSI guy...

"Thank You for calling me Hazel." I said as I looked at the bodies of two men I had never met... The French man known as Frederick Gaspari and Attorney Allan Hunt, who was supposed to be at our meeting with Odell Sleet, but who was not present because he had other business to attend to.. Other business that cost him his life...Attorney/Fixer/Bagman and killer...now dead himself. With him dead ,unfortunately the trail to Odell Sleet somewhat ended...The money trail all lead to Hunt, not Sleet.

''Sure... Olivia told me you all were supposed to have a meeting with Attorney Allan Hunt yesterday...Well there he is, over by those cars.. Attorney Alan Hunt." said Hazel.. "This other man, I have no Idea who he is."said Hazel.

"I do..His name is Frederick Gaspari, He's a European Assassin, a suspect in close to 33 murders...He's on our most wanted terrorist list...He works clean ,with poisons mostly....And by the way Donnie Ray, his fingerprins are the unidentified set found on your Red Bull cans in the Heckelberg Case.. This is your murderer."said Sharon Hopkins, Deputy Special Agent in Charge of the FBI /ATF

who arrived with a squad of FBI Agents..

"Donnie Ray!!! What are you and all these Feds doing here? Why was I not called first...Did you call them here Hazel?" asked Lt. Tragg.

Hazel didn't answer...She walked away from him...

''This man here is Frederick Gaspari, he's a European Assassin, a suspect in close to 33 murders...He's on our most Wanted Terrorist list...He works clean ,with poisons mostly....And by the way Lieutenant, his fingerprints are the unidentified set found on your Red Bull cans in the Heckelberg Case.. This is your murderer..."said Sharon.

"He did the deed...but that babe hired him...Amber Nicole Davis is loaded.."said Lt. Tragg.

''You can't be serious....yeah she has the financial means to have hired him...but I don't think she did and that second body over there bares me out... That's Attorney Allan Hunt, he works for Odell Sleet, ever heard of him? He's one of several guys who lost a load of money to Heckleberg in a Ponzi Scheme...That goes to motive...Amber is innocent..." I said.

"Leave the courtroom arguments to Liv.....She's the Attorney..You're just a retired cop who's still playing detective and gets to sleep with the boss." he said.

I was about to belt him when U.S. Attorney Todd Dellums stepped in..

"It's alright Donnie Ray... "As you can see this is a Federal Matter Lieutenant...No Need for you to be here...So run along."said Todd Dellums.

"This is part of MY INVESTIGATION!!! MY MURDER INVESTIGATION!!!...YOU DON'T COME HERE AND RUN ROUGH SHOD OVER ME!" snarled Lt. Tragg..

''Wrong!!, the ADA on your case told me that you have done next to no investigating on this case..She asked the M.E.'s office about the extra pair of unidentified prints that you never even questioned anybody about...This guy here is a Most Wanted Terrorist and this lawyer here is some kind of bag man...This is now MY investigation...Back off.. If you have any foolish notion about swinging on me.. Know that I'll lock you up for a month and nothing your Captain or Deputy of Operations will be able to do for you, now get out of these guys way."said Todd Dellums.

Hazel laughed openly...

"Okay guys, wrap em up, let's get em out of here... AUSA Dellums , we'll have the full autopsy reports at your office as soon as possible" she said smiling.

This incensed Lt. Tragg to no end...

"Thank You Hazel," said Todd Dellums as everyone started to file out.

Lt. Tragg was livid...He stood there angrilly staring at them all...

As the bodies of both men were placed in body bags, put on stretchers and wheeled out..

THE NEXT DAY-

We decided to have lunch at the Bridge Building with our friends and neighbors.

"Olivia, Beverly, Donnie Ray, Nelson, Josie, Bree Bree...How nice to see you."said Yvette as we sat down with them...

"Hey Neighbors..." said Jade.

"Livy, always a pleasure."said Virginia, hugging Olivia.

"Hey Liv" said Virginia's husband, Jetty, who was sitting with her...

''Hi Guys...We just may wrap our case up in the preliminaries." said Olivia.

"In a morbid kind of way, we caught a break yesterday." I said.

''Hmmmm what's good today?" asked Beverly ,looking at other people's platter.

"You are." said her husband, Nelson, hugging her..

Josie had called Paris and told him to meet them here..

"I got great news Jo...I just got a job at Dabnis's law firm as an Office Administrative Assistant...I start working here in two weeks,,,And I still get to keep my pension from the city."said an excited Paris.

"That's great news Paris.."said  Bresha.

"I'm liking it more here everyday."said Tony, who never dreamed he'd be working with so many friends in one building..

"Man, nice to see you guys again."said Keith.

''We live across the street from each other and we go days without seeing you guys sometimes."said Bee Bee who simply loved my wife and her niece..

So did Sofia, who was equally glad to see us.

"What are we doing this weekend? Brunch at No I.D. Saturday Morning... Super Brunch Sunday at Josies, Anything else?/" asked Kahlil jokingly..

"We'll let you know.." said Olivia, laughing..

"Maybe we'll go Roller Skating at the rink in Bayside..We haven't been lately...Saturday Night.

"Bev , I know you guys are preparing for trial...Don't even worry about it." said Jessica.

"Yeah, we might just chill out Saturday Night." said Chip.

''Why don't we have a quiet couples night at Josies or No I.D." said Jazzy...

"That sounds cool...I'd be down for that.."said Dabnis.

"I would too...Beats staying in.."said Kayla.

"Let's do it at Josies...we'll have been at No I.D. that morning."said Ray.

"B.L. and I are going to Atlantic City this weekend."said Karen.

"That's nice...Win some money for me." said Brooke.

Her husband Sean laughed.

"Couples Night at Josie's is fine with me." said Natalie.

"Yeah it's close." said David.

At Our Office/Duplex, the lights were off and the doors were locked..

"Rockland you are soo horny...tooo horny. Maybe you'd better see a therapist about this." giggled Alfreda...

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm"groaned Rockland...

Kissing  Alfreda passionately...

"Ummmmmmmmmm Rockland, but when you kiss me ,like this I get horny tooo...Oh My godddd!" Alfreda whispered...

Her dress was off, Rockland's trousers were down...

Alfreda's panties were down and off and 

Rockland was hoisting her into the air...entering her slowly and softly... She gasped as he entered her..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU SWEET BABY!" she cooed....Her body trembling...and she having an embarrassingly quick orgasm....that left her smiling serenely and shaking her head...

Soon Rockland had her on the counter ,her legs spread apart...plowing away...

"UMMMM HANDLE YOUR BUSINESS...JUST HANDLE ALL OF THIS BUSINESS MANNNNNNNNNNNN!"Alfreda screamed...tears flowed from her eyes like those of a little girl....

Rockland looked like he was delirious......just in a daze...not sure it f he was coming or going....

While Outside our Office /Duplex

An umarked police car sat..

a Totally unhinged Lt Tragg was banging on the door and bellowing..

"OLIVIA,BEVERLY, DONNIE RAY FRONT AND CENTER, I WANT TO TALK TO YOU...I KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE OPEN THIS DOOR NOW!!! THAT'S AN ORDER!!!"

"Oh he gets on my nerves.." said Rockland angrilly.......

"Don't worry about him...You just handle your business.....Handle all of this business, OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU , I'm not about to stop and answer that door, arguing with him...To hell with him, just keep making me feel so damn goooooooooood....ohhhhhhhhh lawwwwd! "moaned Alfreda as Rockland continued to stroke her with wild abandon.

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW LAWWWWWWWD!" Rockland moaned softly as he and Alfreda continued making love.

Finally ,surmising  no one was there...

Lt. Tragg  got in his car and pulled off.

IV-

THE NEXT DAY-

We agreed to meet Assistant District Attorney Harriet Yeller for Lunch at Sam Mother's Diner..

"Thank you for inviting us to lunch Harriet..."said Olivia.

''Yes, you realize after the events of a few days ago the dynamic has changed.." I said.

"I do...And I'm dropping First Degree Murder charges.. but I am still charging her with conspiracy to commit murder, I can't help but think with her being there that she had something to do with his death.." said Harriet Yeller.

"How bout she had nothing to do with it...She was just sleeping with the man?" said Beverly..

"Well what do you propose?" asked Nelson..

"Conspiracy To Commit Murder, 10-15, Parole considered after 5 years....That's about as generous as I can be." said ADA Harriet Yeller.

"Nah...No deal..We believe our client is completely innocent of these charges." said Olivia.

"You should at least float my offer by your client, let her decide...The Prelims are in a few days."said ADA Yeller.

"I'll contact her and tell her about your offer...but I'm 100 percent certain she'll say she pleads Not Guilty to any crime." said Josie.

"Uh Oh, look who just walked in the door!" said Bresha...

Lt. Tragg walked in the diner just then...He was incensed to see Assistant District Attorney Harriet Yeller sitting and having lunch with Olivia, myself,Beverly, Nelson, Josie and Bresha.

He stormed over to our table...

"I WANT ANSWERS AND I WANT EM NOW!" he bellowed..."OLIVIA, BEVERLY, DONNIE RAY, I was by your house yesterday....you weren't home.....I need to know whatever additional information you have gleemed concerning this case... first of all, but I'll get back to you...HARRIET, YOU FIRST, HOW DARE YOU GO OVER MY HEAD TO THE DAMN FEDS AND THE M.E'S OFFICE IN A CASE THAT I HAVE JURISDICTION OVER!!!" he bellowed.

"First of all, I have jurisdiction over this case...I am the one prosecuting this case...I asked you a week ago to get me some more information on the particulars of this case...I asked you to look into Heckleberg, to find out what he was in to.. You did nothing...I asked you to get me the finished Autopsy and Tox reports...To this date you haven't...When I went by your office, You weren't in...but on your desk was the sealed Autopsy Reports and Tox Reports sent over by the M.E.'s office...You hadn't opened them, hadn't even read them....You didn't know that our murder victim ,Wayne Heckleberg was on the verge of being indicted by the SEC and The IRS did you?  He was running a Ponzi scheme...At least 8 men, including Ms. Davis's father had taken a bath financially due to him...That's 8 suspects you could have at least questioned...Guess what..Donnie Ray questioned them and they've been subpoened as witnesses for the defense....Donnie Ray ,Olivia, Beverly and their associates have all read the autopsy and tox reports...which if they hadn't, they would be worthless as defense attorneys...So you have no reason to question them about anything....I just told you all you need to know...I was meeting with them to offer them a proffer...I have dropped First Degree Murder charges and downgraded charges to simply conspiracy....Now I want you to go out and find a possible connection between her, Attorney Allan Hunt and Frederick Gaspari....That is if the Feds will even talk to you..." said ADA Harriet Yeller.

"I don't need you to tell me how to run a police investigation... I AM THE DETECTIVE HERE! THERE WAS NO NEED FOR ME TO DIG ANY DEEPER..AMBER NICOLE DAVIS IS GUILTY AS HELL!!!  You're just charging her with conspiracy....That is a travesty.." he shouted..

Olivia, Myself, Beverly, Nelson, Josie and Bresha walked up to the counter while they continued shouting at each other and paid our bills..

"Thanks guys...I'm really sorry about him...I'm thinking of banning him from eating here.."said Sam Mother.

''That's alright Sam...We are used to him...We mostly ignore him."said Olivia.

"Thanks Sam.." I said.

"My daddy always said that if you argue with a jack ass too long, pretty soon people can't tell you two apart...So we just ignore him." said Beverly...

"Maybe he'll mellow with age."said Nelson.

"Hope Springs Eternal."said Josie..

Bresha laughed.

"Imagine that" laughed Sam Mother as we all walked out..

We got in our SUV..

I found three of Lt. Tragg's GPs Trackers....I disabled them and tossed them in the waste basket...

We pulled off..

"You know what? You've done next to nothing as far as this case is concerned anyway...I don't need you in the courtroom...Don't bother to show up Monday...You're off this case as of now!" said ADA Harriet Yeller.

"You can't throw me off this case..I'm The Lead Detective!!!" said Lt. Tragg..

Harriet had finished her food...

"I just did...You're finished as far as this case is concerned...Don't bother coming to court Monday." she said and got up and walked to the counter to pay for her food..

He followed her to the counter-

''Wait a minute, wait a minute..We are on the same team here... We got off on the wrong foot...How about we go to dinner, talk it over?" he said.

"There is nothing to talk over..We are done here!" said Harriet... "Besides....you aren't my type." she said.

"WELL WHAT IS YOUR TYPE? OTHER WOMEN??" he snarled angrilly...

"YOU GO TO HELL LIEUTENANT!!" said Harriet, paying her tab and walking out...

SATURDAY NIGHT-

At A Hotel near the edge of the city...Our client, Amber Nicole Davis had been keeping a low profile..

but that still did not keep her from entertaining yet another Assistant District Attorney..

Philadelphia's most eligible bachelor, James "Jumpshot Jim" Taylor...

He had taken her out to a nice rooftop restaurant with a beautiful view of the city....

They had had a delicious New York Strip Steak, Onion Rings and Beers and Quiet conversation...

and had returned to her hotel room where she had been staying, awaiting trial...

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm JIMM......TAKE IT TO THE HOLE....OUUUUUU GO HARD IN MY PAINT!! " she moaned as they kissed passionately....

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MYY DAMNNNNNNNN!!!!!" 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.. LAWDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!" he moaned.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she moaned.. She hadn't had sex in a few weeks, since Wayne Heckleberg had died.....This was a release she felt she was entitled to.

They went in her hotel 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...

"Ouuuuuuuu Jim don't leave me..OUUUUUUUUUU please stay.." she pleaded.. She almost never begged a guy to stay...It was usually the other way around...

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.. He was calling out today...He was exhausted....

She was at the door in just her panties..

"Thank you for last night Jimmy..."she cooed..

"Anytime baby!" he said..

"ANYTIME?" she asked and felt his crotch...He was still hard..

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM YOU've GOT  A NICE BONER! How about right now?" she said..

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! MYYYYYY DAMNNNNNNN!" he moaned.

They started kissing...

"Ouu, you're still hard....you're a nasty boyyyyyy!" she giggled.

"YES I AMMMMMMMM!" he laughed.

Within minutes. his clothes were off..

and they were on her living room floor making love..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she moaned..

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" he yelled out...

SATURDAY NIGHT-

 We decided to bring our own food and have a "Couples Cabaret" at The No I.D. Bar...

We were such good customers that the Bar allowed us to have a section all to ourselves when we called ahead..

At our Table, We had Fried Chicken, Fried Catfish, Cornbread, Fried Shrimp,  Cole Slaw and and a sandwich and condiment tray...

We all arrived at around 6:00 pm.

"Jazzy came up with a good idea.. A couples cabaret...I love this...Everybody brought food.."said Olivia.

''Everybody is going to sleep late tomorrow...No Super Brunch...We need to be good and rested for trial Monday Morning.." I said..

"Auntay and I and Nelson have a trial strategy we've talked about...We may be able to wrap this thing up in the preliminaries."said Beverly...

''Wonder what Amber is doing tonight?" asked Nelson as he munched on a Fried Shrimp.

"I'm sure wherever she is , she has plenty of male company." said Josie..

Her husband Paris laughed as he made himself a sandwich and grabbed a piece of Fried chicken to go with it.

Bresha laughed..."I'm certain Amber is not worried about us...right now." said Bresha.

"Yeah I'm certain someone is entertaining her."said Tony...

"Or being entertained by her.."laughed Rockland..

''Just stop it, all of you.." laughed Alfreda...

Yvette had a larger table than ours... She had Gary, Keith, Bee Bee, Sofia, Jessica, Kahlil and Jessica,

Virginia and Jetty and Jade and Danny....Like us there was a lot of Fried Chicken, Fried Shrimp and  Cole Slaw. Sofia and Jessica had Paella...while their husbands ,Kahlil and Chip had a sandwich and condiment tray....Jetty and Virginia had Fried Chicken, Fried Catfish and Cornbread...Fried shrimp and Cole Slaw...while Jade and Danny had Fried Rice and Egg Rolls...There was clearly something for everybody tonight..Foodwise..

"This is soooo nice...We couldn't have done this in Curley's which was my first choice...We wouldn't have had any peace..."said Yvette.

"I know...there would have been whining, complaining and telling us we should n't be drinking and driving, like we are children or something and he'd be standing up over our table watching us and whining and complaining...I'm just not for that tonight."said Gary...

"We don't have to worry about him Gary...We have each other , here, away from everything..Just us.." said Bee Bee.

"Yeah...let's just enjoy the night....And Not think about Lt. Tragg."said Keith Jones..

"Ouuuuuuuu Ms. Alfreda's caterer is the truth...I can't believe they fixed this just right."said Sofia, spooning some Paella on her plate.. 

"Yessssss...it was so nice of Alfreda to ask us what we would like.."said Jessie, smiling and once again glad to be part of this group and these people.

"That Paella is pretty tasty...Want a sandwich?" asked Kahlil..

"I may....in a minute." said Chip...

"This is some good eatin." said Jetty, enjoying the Fried Catfish and Cornbread..as well as the fried chicken..

"I knew you'd like it."said Virginia..

.It was so nice of Alfreda to ask us what we would like.." said Jade, who was scooping the well seasoned fried Rice on her and Danny's plates and munching on the Egg Rolls.

"Yes it was...There is something here for everybody..."said Danny..

At the third and final table.. Kayla and Ray, Jazzy and Dabnis, Natalie and David, Sean and Brooke and Zoey and Lem rounded the crowd out..

''Jazzy  girl, this was an excellent idea..A couples caberet....I'm betting we all sleep in late tomorrow.." said  Kayla.

"I know I am!"laughed her husband, Ray....

"I read about friends doing this in a magazine and I thought.. It would be nice for this group."said Jazzy...

"I've never done anything like this...It's nice."said Dabnis..

"Me neither." said Natalie., who was sooo glad to be part of a couple, to be married and be here with David.

Her Husband, David felt the same way.....

So Did Sean, who was doing his best to make Brooke feel at home...She was the only white person in the group...

But Brooke was fine.. Her best friend was Black, her husband was Black and she mixed with all of these people, African-American, Latino, Asian and Arab just fine..They were all her Brothers and Sisters as far as she was concerned.

"This is soooooo nice, so relaxing...I was gonna stay in this afternoon, but when Liv told me about this I said, I'm in..We'll be there." said Zoey...

"I'm so glad none of us has to drive back.....We get a bus ride.."said Lem..

With Food at the table..our own food, There was a lot of drinks being ordered and imbibed...

The Bar loved us!

And also that night...Miles away...

at Curley's Bar....

Lt. Tragg sat by himself..  He thought that maybe the lawyers he sparred with would show up tonight..It had been awhile since they'd been in Curleys....but they were nowhere to be found..Not one of them...He was angry about being kicked off the case...Angry at that bitch of an ADA who went over his head, who chastised him in front of Olivia and her crew...and Angry at that Judge who had kicked him out of the courtroom after he had been slapped by this same ADA...He really didn't like her...

He sat drinking his eighth beer....Angry as hell. This was not as good a Saturday for him as it was for the others.
