Puppeteer

Ms. Yvette taught us that a large percentage of winning a case sometimes relied on luck, pure luck...but to prepare well anyway... This morning we were coming in from the trucks outside with coffees for everybody and Churros..

When Ms. Yvette found a manilla envelope in her mail slot.. addressed to her.

TO THE ATTENTION OF MRS YVETTE JONES-LOCKWOOD

"Ouu look, Mail for me..."laughed Ms. Yvette.

''And it's not even your birthday." I said.

She laughed.."No ,not even close.." She opened it up and found a Zip drive... ''Naturally there is no return address...

"Let's take it upstairs and view it." I said.

"Newsy!"laughed Ms. Yvette..

We got on the elevator and rode up to our floor...

We entered our conference room where we found Sofia, my wife, Bee Bee, Kahlil and Ms. Jade waiting..

"Ummm, warm Churros." said Sofia.

''What do you have there Ms. Yvette?" asked Bee Bee.

"It's not your birthday is it?" joked Kahlil..

"Well it isn't is it?" asked Jade.

Ms. Yvette laughed.. "Yall got jokes...This was waiting for me this morning in my mail slot downstairs..I figure someone put it there last night , while we were downtown watch Lt. Tragg get his face slapped off." she said.

We all exploded in laughter remembering ADA Michelle Battles , who we would be facing in court slapping Lt. Tragg after he grabbed her and tried to admonish her for talking to Ms. Yvette.

Ms. Yvette opened the Manilla envelope with no return address , but addressed to her containing a zip drive. 

''Ouuuuuuu let's fire this up.." said Sofia 

 putting it into a laptop that was on our table as we sipped hot coffees and munched on our churros.

Ms. Virginia walked in just then...

"I smell Churros.....Can I have one? Ouuu what are you guys watching?" she said and took a peek..

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" she said.....

veiwing the screen....Our minds were blown too!

Meanwhile...Lt. Tragg was once again in our old office suite... as angry and unhinged as ever.. He hated that ADA Michelle Battles was talking to us. He wanted to know what had been said.

"I knew it!! I knew it!! They probably knew that I would be paying them a visit and they took a powder..It doesn't look like they've been here at all today." he said.

He stared into our former office...The door was locked and the lights were out... He stormed off in a huff after waiting for 30 minutes...

The Morning wasn't going well for him....

II-

THE OFFICE OF ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY MICHELLE BATTLES.....

"Sooooooo what do we have here? You say an anonymous source left this in your mailbox today eh?" said ADA Michelle Barnes, popping the zip drive into her laptop as we all circled her.

"It was addressed to me...No return address...

''Definitely Must See TV." I said.

''I know why you liked it...Nasty!" laughed my wife Bee Bee.

''It's like watching Pornhub..."laughed Sofia.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"laughed Kahlil.

"Here goes "said Jade.

The Loft belonging to Private Investigator Barrett Pinkston.

"So your husband came through with much needed information that helped me get through that Civil Trial....The Jury is deliberating..." said Jason Lockjoy...

"I was in the courtroom today...Don't try to bullshit me."said Paige....She was an Attorney herself..

That girl had a good legal team and they did what they had to do... If I can be perfectly honest, I think they had the better message, despite the job Tommy did... I hope they don't take you for too much." she said.

"That's what I love about you Paige...Your brutal honesty..."laughed Jason Lockjoy...

"I think you like more about me than that you horny devil..."she said..

as they kissed passionately....

''Where is Hubby tonight?" asked Jason Lockjoy.....

"He's in Atlantic City....on a case or that's what he told me." said Paige,

as they kissed passionately some more...

The kissing got hotter....

He slipped her panties down.....

.

They stood in the middle of the floor, kissing passionately.....

He bent her over her dresser and entered her doggie style..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU JASON...OUUUUUUUUUUU YOU ARE SOOO DAMN
BIG AND HARD!!! OUUUUUUUU!" she screamed..

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MYYYYYYYYYYYY GODDDDDDD!!!

UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMPH! PAIGE!!!" he moaned..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU JASON..YOU ARE A BEAST!" she moaned on the floor being plowed into...

They sat on the side of the bed and she moved up and down on him, kissing him softly...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU JASONNNNNN! UMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!" she cooed..

"AWWWWWWWWWWWW LAWWWWWWWD!" he yelled out!!!

and riding him ,cowgirl style...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU JASONNNNNN! UMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!! I'm losing my mindddddd!" she cooed..

"AWWWWWWWWWWWW LAWWWWWWWD! I'M LOSING MINE....AHHHHHHHHHH!" he yelled out!!!

They were making love for the next NINE TO TEN HOURS.....

unaware that the entire thing was being caught on a micro-camera, hidden in her room without her knowledge and certainly without Jason's knowledge..

"Ohhhhhhhhhhh Myyyyyyyyyy, He and Mrs. Pinkston? Paige Pinkston... That's the wife of the Private Investigator in his employ...Ohhhhh wowwwwwwww! and this was being recorded...So At some time...Mr. Pinkston must have seen this...He or somebody!!!!Hmmmmmm this goes to motive....He was supposedly in Atlantic City...but we have no proof of that....Here is another suspect to look at...."said Michelle Battles.

"And thus ,why we are here...We think this man, her husband is worth looking at...Our client Ms. Jost was at dinner at Bottom of the C. until Midnight...as proven here by the tracking of her smartphone and smart watch....She was at her condo alone from around  2:00 AM until morning when she met with us for the hearing...Her date didn't spend the night, but he'll tell you he dropped her off..She had no reason to kill this man....and she lived a distance away...She has told me that she never knew where he lived."said Yvette.

"I saw the transcripts from your very successful civil trial. I think you're right....Let me look into this..okay??..I'm ...I was pretty close to dropping the charges anyway. Give me some time...I'll call you." said ADA Michelle Battles.

"Good enough.Thank you  Michelle." said Yvette.

"I really like her."said Bee Bee.

''Me too! She's real people."said Sofia.

"Yes Thank You!" I said.

''Yeah, she's real people."said Kahlil.

''This gives me time to do some more investigating." said Jade.

At A rooftop Martini Bar... Private Investigator Barrett Pinkston sat with Attorney Thomas Dylan ,having drinks.. He and Dylan were not exactly friends...They were drawn together because of their now deceased partner...

"Paige and I are getting a divorce..She moved out yesterday." said Private Investigator, Barrett Pinkston..

"Oh Really?  You guys have been married for what? 5 years now? What Happened?" asked Attorney Thomas Dylan pretending to be interested..

"Yeah really....Somebody sent me a Manilla Envelope with a zip drive in it...On the zip drive in full stero and high definition video is Paige and our late mutual client...Jason Lockjoy making love on my kitchen floor and in our bed....our marital bed all night long...I returned home from Atlantic City early and it was outside my door with my name on it...It was disgraceful...I'm glad the neighbors didn't get ahold of it.. I watched it immediately....I nearly lost my mind,I was so angry....I showed it to her..I woke her up and showed it to her....I called her a slut and told her I wanted her out...out of the condo in 48 hours.....I was so furious....I nearly lost my damn mind.." he said....He stopped short of saying anything else.

"You didn't uh do anything rash did you?" asked Thomas Dylan.

"You're a lawyer, but you're not MY LAWYER TOMMY!!! Anything else I say might make you an accessory." he said..

Thomas Dylan just stared at him blankly....a cold chill went down his spine as he sipped his drink.

III-

Nightfall-

It was a little after noon...Tuesday...We had the rest of the day off...Nobody bothered to have lunch...

We all went home...

We were all at home...We rarely had a whole day off to do nothing...We all decided we were going to make the most of it.

Bee Bee was wearing a sheer see through Baby doll.....She had just taken a hot shower and walked into our bedroom..

My eyes popped out of my head..

She giggled..

"Oh my goddd..look at you...You act like you haven't seen me before......WOW!!! That boner is massive." she said and put her hands over her mouth..

I pulled her towards me...

"Let's forget about court today." I said , hugging her..

"I've already forgotten it." Bee Bee whispered..

I undressed and took her into my arms and kissed her softly....

"Ummmmmm, ouuuuuuuuuuuu you are so hard....I've already forgotten...It's about to be a good afternoon for you!" she exclaimed as she stroked me lightly...

Our kissing got hotter more passionate....

"Ummmmmmmmm, you too!" I said.

"Yes" she agreed! "OUUUUUUUUUUUU HOT STUFF!" she cooed

"OUUU YESSSSS! YOU ARE SO HARD AND SOOO DAMN BIG! MEOWWWWWWWWW!" cooed Bee Bee softly... as I lifted her up ...and entered her slowly.... She was so warm, so wet, so welcoming..I was losing my mind...

"AHHHHHHHH...OH MY GOD!" I moaned as I lifted her petite body, slipped her panties to the side  and entered her slowly..

"WOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU, MY GOOODNESS...UMMMMMMMM!" she moaned..

We lie across the bed, kissing and practically slobbering over each other....

I slipped her panties  down and off...

Soon we were making love passionately on top of the bed..Not thinking about the case....or the events or non -events as they were of the day.

She rode me like a surfer rides the waves...I didn't know if I was coming or going!

For the next EIGHT TO NINE HOURS, all we thought about was each other..

The same was next door at Kahlil and Sofia's house..

"Come here mamasita....I want to comfort you after the disapointing day we had of not going to trial." said Kahlil..

Sofia and Kahlil were kissing passionately in the doorway of their bedroom....

"Papi you look for any excuse to take my clothes off."laughed Sofia.

as they stood in the middle of their bedroom..

"But I don't mind...I want to take my clothes off for you papi." she said.. he slipped her top off....

as he slipped her panties off!

She eased down on him...driving him mad with desire...

They were riding each other hard....

on the side of the bed kissing and 

on the bedroom floor.....going at it..

He bent Sofia over the side of the bed and entered her doggie style..

"AYE!! AYE MIOS DIOS! OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU PAPI! AYEEEE YI YIIIIII!" she moaned..

"AWWWWWWWWWW!  AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! OH MY GODDDD SOFIAAAA!" he moaned loudly...

And before long they too were making sweet love in the bed......Their bedsprings squeaking loudly for the next EIGHT TO NINE HOURS....

Ms. Yvette called Gary, told her she was home for the day...And within a half hour.. He was home.. He had taken the rest of the day off.. He said he wasn't busy..

Gary and Ms. Yvette soon caught up with us..

They began  making sweet love...

the moment they closed the door of their home.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU OHHHHHHHH GARY!."she moaned..

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH VETTIE, YOU ARE MY SWEET SWEET GIRLLLLL,LAWDDD!" he cried out..

She had remembered times when she wasn't getting this much action...When she 'd be lying awake ,staring at the ceiling..alone...unable to get to sleep! Knowing guys wanted to share this bed with her, but knowing that that was all they wanted and not wanting to have the rep as a "pass around girl"..So she guarded her virtue with care..Suffering mightily for it..Sleepless nights...sometimes getting up and exercising to take her mind off of sex.The sex she wasn't having.

That was not the case now...Gary wanted it constantly and they were putting a hurting on this bed....She found herself wanting him constantly now too!....Hornier than she'd ever been before.. and both of them steaming up their windows several nights a week..

EIGHT TO NINE HOURS had passed by.

 Bee Bee and I were fast asleep in each others arms..

Sofia and Kahlil were in each others arms and still kissing, almost asleep.

And Gary and Ms. Yvette were sound asleep..

Down the street from us ,Ms. Jade and her husband, Danny were heating things up and steaming up their windows. She had told him she was home for the day and he had taken the rest of the day off.

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH JADEEEEEE!" he moaned.

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HUSBAND!!! OUUUUUUUUU!" she moaned..

It was her dream come  true.. She was an American Citizen, Had an amazing job and amazing friends who were like family and she was married and a homeowner... 

"UMMMMPH!" he moaned loudly..

"OHHHHHHHHH I WANT TO LOVE YOU LONNNNNNNNG TIME!!! OUUUUUUUUUU!" she moaned.

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW JADDDDE!" he cried out.

Another EIGHT TO NINE HOURS of sweet lovemaking.....It was as though we all had the same thoughts when we got home..

And six doors away, Ms. Virginia was getting her daily dose of her husband, Judge Jetty Dukes.. He hadn't had to work today...When she came home...He practically jumped on her.

"OUUUUUUUUUU JETTY!" she cooed..

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW LAWWWD GIRL...UMMMMMMMMM!" the Judge moaned...

"Big Daddy wants to get in your panties" he said.

"Don't you always?" she asked.

"Yesssssssssss!" he said..

"You are sooooo nasty." she laughed in between hot smouldering kisses..

He slipped he panties down...

"OHHHHHHHHHHHH MYYYY GOD VIRGINIA!!!!!" he cried out..

"OHHHH JETTY HUSH UP!" she said, laughing

"I never get enough girl..." he moaned..

"OUUUUUUUU I KNOW...I KNOWWWWWW!" she moaned..

He was laying serious pipe and like us ,she was getting a good work out. NINE TO TEN HOURS OF IT! Her legs were trembling, her head was moving from side to side.. Her orgasms were so intense, she found herself  crying like a little girl.. She slapped Jetty across the face several times, she felt so good..

She was really fulfilled today...lying across his chest, sleeping peacefully....Her body still trembling.

CURLEY'S BAR-

While we were all at home screwing each others brains out.. Lt. Tragg sat alone in the bar, drinking a beer , angry at the turn of events..

"I'm tellin you, This Prosecutor is weak, the weakest one I've dealt with yet..I think she's gonna toss this case out...I really do!" he said

as he gulped down his sixth beer...

Attorney Elizabeth Mint walked in took a seat by herself and ordered a drink and fried shrimp!

"VA VA VA VOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!" said Lt. Tragg upon seeing her...

"Cool it Artie....You got slapped last night... Leave people alone.."said Curley..

But Lt. Tragg ignored him... He ordered another beer and another Mango Martini for her table and as was his style, he invited himself to her table..

''Ohhhhhhhhh you ordered this...I wondered where these extra drinks came from." she said, smiling..

"Well Helllllllllllloooooooooo...I never heard back from you about having a little dinner and uh quiet conversation...heh heh heh!" he laughed..

She said nothing....

Lt. Tragg ordered her another drink....Her Third... He in turn had his 7th and 8th beers....

They laughed and talked for the next THREE HOURS....Naturally, Lt. Tragg's hands wandered...Him rubbing her legs and slithering his hands up her skirt...with her removing his hands constantly....

''Sooooooooo are you uh still representing Melinda Jost? I hear you're a cracker jack Attorney." he asked.

"I work for the Television station... I have represented her in the past, but right now, she has a new legal team...repping her in her Civil Case and this criminal case..." said Elizabeth Mint. She removed his hands from under her skirt again...She was getting quite annoyed...

Yvette Jones, who I've known for years and her four young associate attorneys, Keith Jones, Beatrice Jones, Sofia Garcia-Ahmed  ,Kahlil Ahmed and their investigator, Jade Lee , they're pretty  good. Beautiful people too!" she said.

"BAHHHHH! Yvette and her snot nosed kid lawyers, they aren't so hot.." scoffed Lt. Tragg.

"Oh No?  I think they are !~They won a big judgement for her in that civil case and this ludicrous criminal case against her might not even make it to trial...That's what I hear anyway...I travel in legal circles...." she said and removed his hands again...He was palming and squeezing her butt...

" In Fact Lieutenant , This case has just as much chance of flying as YOU HAVE OF SHARING MY BED!" she said and got up....

"THANKS FOR MY DRINKS!" she said.

She got up and left......

Leaving Lt. Tragg with the bill for his eight beers and her three drinks, including the one she had been drinking when he came over and her shrimp basket.... He sat there with a baleful blank stare on his face..

Curley couldn't hide his glee...He just laughed to himself..

IV-

THE OFFICE OF DEPUTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY LESTER BURKE-

Lt. Tragg entered the office and saw Ms. Yvette, Myself, Bee Bee, Sofia ,Kahlil and Ms. Jade all sitting in a semi circle..He was surprised...

'What's this about?" he asked.

"Good Morning Lieutenant!" said Ms. Yvette, diplomatically..

"Good Morning Lieutenant!"I also said, echoing Ms. Yvette.

Bee Bee said nothing...She sipped her coffee..

Likewise, Sofia said nothing...She too sipped her coffee.

Kahlil was also quiet...Adding cream and sugar to his coffee and stirring it.

"You look tired Lieutenant, Out fighting crime last night?? Have some coffee." said Jade...

The entire room erupted in laughter...

As we all sipped our coffee.

Lt. Tragg didn't appreciate being the butt of the joke..

"YVETTE, MUZZLE YOUR PEOPLE!!! MUZZLE EM OR THEY 'LL ALL GET A TRIP DOWN TOWN!" he bellowed..

''And be charged with what? Ruffling your precious feathers. Another frivolous charge?".said our client Melinda Jost , who didn't hide her animosity towards Lt. Tragg.

She sipped her coffee..

Assistant District Attorney, Michelle Battles tossed some case files on the desk..

"Do you see these? These are legitimate cases I will be prosecuting...Legitimate cases with legitimate evidence... This case against this young lady is not in the pile and do you know why?? Because it is groundless...You don't have motive, you don't have opportunity...You have zero forensic evidence...You don't even have an eye witness...or any kind of witness...I don't even know how you got a warrant to arrest this woman...I intend to drop all charges against her for lack of sufficient evidence... I'm not going to walk into a courtroom with this weak case and be made a fool of... I just wanted you to be here and to hear it in front of the Deputy District Attorney." she said angrilly...

DDA Lester Burke concurred...

"Lieutenant it seems to me you've brought in a preponderance of these weak cases lately...I think you should really go back over your evidence before  you make an arrest...Make sure you have the goods,,,because a number of my Assistant District Attorneys refuse to try any case involving you...and we've had to spend money bringing in Special Prosecutors... We DON'T LIKE HAVING TO DO THAT!" said Deputy District Attorney, Lester Burke

"I DON'T NEED ANY OF YOU WITH YOUR FANCY LAW DEGREES TO TELL ME ANYTHING ABOUT POLICE WORK....I'M OUT IN THE STREETS, RISKING MY LIFE EVERYDAY!!!" Lt. Tragg bellowed.

"WHATEVER!  BOTTOM LINE I AM DROPPING THIS CASE....I AM NOT TAKING THIS TO COURT...NO SHOW TRIAL, NO HEADLINES FOR YOU!" bellowed Michelle who looked like she was close to attacking Lt. Tragg...It was clear she really didn't like the man.

"FINE THEN, FINE!!" said Lt. Tragg as he got up and stormed out of the office...

"Another Happy Customer." said Deputy District Attorney, Lester Burke sighing.

"Thank You Yvette, Thank you for all of your help..." said Melinda.

"You're quite welcome...We''ll be looking forward to seeing you on the news.." said Ms. Yvette, hugging her.

''And thank you too Ms. Battles." said Melinda....

"I prosecute people I think are guilty....every Now and then we at this office like to duck a few punches."said Michelle Battles.

"I like that." said Melinda who turned to Me, Bee Bee , Sofia, Kahlil and Jade..

"And thank you to my brilliant legal team.....You guys won me that settlement and got these charges dropped without a big trial... I am so relieved." she said.

''Believe me...We are relieved too!" I said.

"Yesssssssss....We had just finished a big trial..Now we can get some much needed rest."said Bee Bee.

"The Life of an Attorney." said Sofia.

"Indeed!" said Kahlil.

''Good Luck to you." said Jade.

"Well folks, I don't know about you...but I'm starving...Breakfast anyone?" asked Ms. Yvette.

''Anywhere but Sam Mothers." said Bee Bee.

"Yes, not today!" said Sofia.

"I agree...Let's go back to our building."said Yvette.

"Yes!" I said.

"Lead the way Jade." said Kahlil..

"Let's go." she said.

And so...With another case wrapped up...We all boarded the train and headed to the safety and peacefulness of our building.

EPILOUGE-

Private Investigator Barrett Pinkston  was arrested and charged with the murder of  Jason Lockjoy...He confessed and spared the city a trial and was sentenced to 30 years with no chance of parole for at least 15 years...

Attorney Thomas Dylan sat in his neighborhood bar, he smelled a familliar fragrance... He smiled..

It was Yvette Jones-Lockwood...

''You come here often Vettie?" he asked.

"I never come here...but I have been here before...with my husband."said Yvette non-chalantly...

"So what brings you here today?" he asked.

"I know you drink here... It was you wasn't it?  You sent me that Manilla Envelope with the footage of Lockjoy having sex with Barrett Pinkston's wife..You knew I'd use it in discovery  or go to the D.A.'s Office and proffer a deal for my client, which is what I did...Annnd let me guess , you sent a copy to Barrett Pinkston too...Did you know it would set him off the deep end and he'd murder Jason Lockjoy

?? Maybe you didn't...You also sent a tape recorded conversation you had with Barrett Pinkston to the police didn't you...with your voice muted out, right???? He's in jail for murder as he should be...My client is free and clear and no one is the wiser....Game set match...It took me awhile but I figured it out...You were behind the scenes, pulling the strings. The perfect puppeteer...Well played counselor."said Yvette.

"Yvette in addition to being cute and having an incredible body...You are also one of the smartest lawyers and people in general I know...but you uh give me wayyyy too much credit."laughed Thomas Dylan...

''I'd play it that way too Tommy."said Yvette. She knew if he admitted to any of the things she was accusing him of, he could be disbarred and possibly arrested.

He ordered a Lemon Martini for her....

"You remembered?" said Yvette, smiling..

"Some things...You never forget."said Thomas Dylan , with a smile..

As they continued drinking and talking.

FOR SLC!
