The Name of the Gentleman is John Toilet(pronounced Tolay)

 DAYBREAK...

Ms. Yvette lay peacefully on top of her husband, Gary, who was snoring...She smiled at him...She sighed and thought of the past 45 days...

 

Mrs Yvette Jones-Lockwood-Managing Partner- McCluskey/Cozen/Connor and Pratt West

Myself, Attorney Keith Jones

My Beautiful wife, Beatrice "Bee Bee" Evans-Jones

My sister from another mother- Sofia Garcia -Ahmed..

And my homie, Kahlil..

Ms. Jade...

and our office manager consultant, Ms. Virginia..

Her entire team... Had been quite busy.. We had worked a big Innocence project case with neighbors,and building mates...Jessica Sanchez-Burrows and her husband, Charles "Chip" Burrows. It resulted in a reversed verdict and an eventual acquittal...

The next week before we could catch our breath, We were working a Wrongfully Convicted case with building mates. Karen Page, Brooke Marks, Natalie Charles and her husband, David Charles.

We also worked again with Jessica and Chip..

which resulted in another acquittal.

And just last week We worked with our favorite people....Olivia Bennett-Alexander, her husband, Donnie Ray, her niece, Beverly West-East, Her niece's husband, Nelson East, Josie Boyd and cutie patootie, Bresha Billips, their newest attorney.  We tried that case in federal court 

We all got to work side by side with Brooke's husband, Sean Marks, a Federal Public Defender, who asked for both teams help with this... 

 

It was a major sprawling case...but with Olivia's team and our team helping him out... He got acquittals...

It had been a fabulous 45 days.....We ate at Sam Mothers sometimes after court..

and late nights at the cafeteria in our building which was open until midnight for those people who worked late..

It was a busy time....We hardly realized that 

Lt. Tragg had not been around to pester any of us.. No one gave him a second thought....

 We had been to Curleys , several times during the week...Not Just couples night..With no one standing in the middle of the floor, whining and complaining and wondering if we were drinking and driving and saying he didn't want to have to arrest us for DUI or any of that foolishness. It was a relief not to have o deal with his snarky remarks and attempts to aggravate someone or insult someone or force someone into a confrontation... It was pure heaven. Today it would be over..Tomorrow ,he'd be back!

He had been serving a 45 day tour of duty on the Marine Boat ,out on the river, away from all of us...We really enjoyed the respite, but he was due to return to Homicide tomorrow and hoist us into our next case.. A quite bizzare one....

Ms. Yvette realized it was time to get up... She eased herself out of Gary's embrace and went into the bathroom... After coming out of the bathroom, she stared out the window..

After awhile, her husband Gary awoke and came up behind her..

He put his arms around her and squeezed her tight...

" Whaty's the matter with my Vettie girl ? Couldn't sleep?" he asked.

"Couldn't sleep any more...Just looking out the window at the early morning sunrise.." said Ms. Yvette..

"Ummmmmmmmm mind if I look with you.?" asked Gary...

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm " he moaned , squeezing her..

"Sure you can......Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, you feel sooo good!" she said.

"So do youuuuu!" he said, squeezing her tight and kissing her earlobe....

''Ummmmmmmmm you woke up with that boner.?My good ness!!" she asked... rubbing the crotch area of his pajama bottoms...,

"I was dreaming about you.." he said, smiling...

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! Good Answer......" she moaned.....

They kissed passionately in the dark of the early morning........

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu your lips are so damn soft....they drive me wild." he said..

"My breathing drives you wild Gary." she said in between slow, soft kisses..

He slipped her panties down...

"OOOOOOOOOOOP OUUUUUUUUUU!!! I should have known this is what you had in mind.." she laughed..

"All Day, All the timee.." he laughed..

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMM" he moaned...as they stood near the bathroom door, kissing and slobbering all over each other...Him squeezing her butt...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU GARY!! " she moaned silently..

His pajama bottoms dropped, he stepped out of them....

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU GARYYYYYYY!!!  LOOK AT YOU!!!!!! MYYYYY GOODNESS!!!!"she said...

He lifted her up and slowly entered her........She was so warm,so soft, so very wet....He was slowly losing control of himself.. He didn't know if he was coming or going..She felt the same way too....

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU GARYYYY!!  UMMMMMM GARY SWEETIE, OUUUUUU YOU ARE ALL UP IN THIS HERE...OUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she moaned silently..

"OHHHHHHHHHHH..AWWWWWWWW!!!UMMMMMMMMMMMMM YOU'RE MY SWEET GIRRRRL!!!! OUUUUU!!" he moaned..

He sat her on the sink, spread her legs and entered her while thrusting mightily.....

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW LAWWWWWWWWWD!!" he cried out...

They kissed passionately and stared at each other in amazement as Gary continued to thrust inside of her... Her body trembled.Her legs shaking....her head turning from side to side and tears streamed down the sides of her face....

"GARY OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!" she cooed.....

TWO HOURS slowly drifted by...

She had an intense orgasm....and it wasn't long after that he came and came hard....His whole body shaking.....

Yvette gave Gary one last long sloppy kiss....

"Ummmmm go in the kitchen and make yourself some coffee...Your Vettie girl has to get ready for work." she said..

Gary went into the kitchen and made himself a hot cup of coffee....

He sat in the kitchen sipping his coffee and watched his wife, Yvette Jones-Lockwood, Attorney at law and our supervisor run through her routine...Which was no different today than any other day..

She made the bed up...

Took a nice hot shower.. with a sweet and fresh smelling body wash, Lotioned down, put on a heavenly fragrance..

and proceeded to get dressed..

Put on a cute outfit...

Called her coffee order ahead and paid for it by phone..

".I just feel like a relaxing train ride today." she said to Gary..

"You guys really like that train ride don't you? I notice nobody drives into work unless they have an early court appointment..." said Gary, smiling. He himself took the train into work, a little later... Only Danny Ho

 drove to work.

"I do...and no court date today, I love it.." said Yvette.

and then she kissed Gary softly for three minutes..before applying her lipstick and hurrying out the door..

''See ya Babes.." she said.

"Yeahhhh, see ya..." said Gary...Who was more than aroused by that soft kiss from Yvette...

The train station was just one block from where we all lived..The train took us all straight to the door practically of our building....Today Ms. Yvette was surprised to see her across the street neighbors on the train.

"Olivia?? Donnie Ray?? Beverly?? Nelson??Josie ?? Bresha?? What are you guys doing on the train?" asked Ms. Yvette, pleasently surprised.

''Hi Vettie!everybody....We have a meeting in your building today, we are representing a client going before the legal ethics board."  said a smiling Olivia.

''We Shouldn't be there long ...We'll join you guys for lunch." said Donnie Ray..

"After all the cases we've all been working...This is an easy one." said Beverly..

"Yeah... We deserve an easy one every now and then." added Nelson.

Josie's husband , Paris wasn't going, but he had packed lunches for all of us and passed them to Josie  as they all boarded the train..He had law school today...

''See you tonight babe. Have a great day in school." said Josie.

Giving him a soft kiss.

Bresha was tickled pink to be riding with her husband today... She sat on his lap....

"Join the party guys.." he said as their train pulled off..

We were all on the train , headed to work in our building..The Bridge Building..a nice comfortable 45 minute ride.

''You know who is coming off the boat today..."I laughed.

"You mean Lt. Tragg? Yeah I know...It's been so nice with him gone." said Bee Bee.

"Doesn't he ever go on vacation?."said Sofia.

"You would hope! "said Kahlil and we all laughed..

"Yes you would hope he'd go somewhere and get lost...I mean really lost." said Jade.

We all howled with laughter.

We were joined by our other neighbors..

"I thought we were going to miss the train....Papi. you've got to leave me alone in the morning when I'm trying to get dressed.."said Jessica Sanchez-Burrows.

"I'll try harder...but you're so damn sexy." said Chip...

"Ditto, same here. I go through the same thing bruh...She purposely tries to turn me on in the morning when she knows we have to get dressed.." said Ray.

''Oh I do notttttt, he's lying Chip.." said Kayla, laughing..

"Freshie" said Jazzy, laughing, who then looked at her husband, Dabnis.. "And don't you say a word!" she said.

"I'm just enjoying the ride...I plead the fifth." said Dabnis..laughing.

Brooke smiled, She was sitting on her husband's lap, enjoying the ride and enjoying the camraderie..

Sean was tickled pink...He was just smiling from ear to ear...

Natalie was sitting in husband, David's lap..Smiling at him...

David was smiling...Rubbing her legs and her hips softly......

''What you got going on today lover?" asked Virginia, who was sitting in her husband's lap also..

"I'm hearing a case... A lawyer Olivia, Beverly and their crew is representing is coming before the board today..That's why they're on here." he said.

We all laughed and talked as the train pulled off and headed into the city...

II

Our day started out normal in our conference room where we had our after trial staff meeting.

''Well guys we have a lot to talk about today don't we/" said  Ms. Yvette...
 

Bee Bee and I discussed the Innocence Project cases we worked with Jessica and Chip...

While Sofia and Kahlil shared notes and comments concerning the Wrongfully Convicted case we worked with Karen, Brooke, Natalie ,David and Jessica and Chip..

Ms. Yvette finished by talking about the case we worked with Olivia, Beverly and their team and Brooke's husband, Federal Public defender, Sean Marks..

"We won all of these cases because we were prepared and we were teamed up with other professionals who view these trials the way we do...Good work people.. I'm proud of you all....Now we can reward ourselves with some easy days....Huh?" she said..

We all clapped and cheered and whistled..

Jade looked at the door . Ms. Virginia was coming into our conference room with a White man... He looked like he might be a client.

"Yvette, Guys..uh er this is uh Mr. John Toilet." she said, trying to hide a smile.

"Go ahead, get your laughs out of the way.....I've dealt with this my whole life.... My name is pronounced TOE- LAY......Tolay, not Toilet....It's French.  I own a plumbing company...One of the most lucrative Plumbing companies in this city." he said.

Kahlil and I couldn't control our laughter at this point...The man's name was John Toilet, despite how it was pronounced and he owned a plumbing company....This was just too much..

''Stop it you two." chided Bee Bee, who couldn't hide a smile herself.

"Yes stop it!" said Sofia...

"That's okay... I'm used to it...Like I said, this has happened all of my life... I'm here because I need your help and I'm willing to pay.." he said.

"That's the kind of clients we like...Paying clients, regardless of what your name is Mr. Toilet."said Yvette.

"It's Tolay...Not Toilet." he re-interated...

"I'm so sorry Mr. To-lay." said Ms. Yvette.

All four of us, Me, Kahli, Bee Bee and Sofia, smiled and hung our heads....This was too funny...

Even Jade and Virginia smiled and turned their heads...

"My problem is , I was left at the alter recently....Believe me I've heard all of the jokes.. She didn't want
to be known as Mrs. Toilet....That wasn't it...We had decided  she could keep her name, Melody Tolson...and she didn't have to hyphenate it....This was something more.." said John Toilet.

"Mr. To Lay...we're attorneys...Shouldn't you be going to a marriage counselor? Or do you want to sue for breach of contract?" asked  Ms. Yvette...

"No. I think she's in trouble...The kind of trouble where she might need a lawyer... Could you just talk to her?" he asked and passed her a retainer..

"You keep that money for now....I'll talk to her...give me an address...I'll go see her tomorrow. and I'll get back to you if this is indeed a problem we can help her with John.." said Ms. Yvette.

"Okay... here is my number....You can reach me there...and here is her number...." said John Toilet.

"Thank You." he said, leaving...

"Wellllllll, it's not everyday you get a client with a name like that,," I said smiling...

"I just googled him...He's not  a slouch... He graduated from Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburg with a degree  in Engineering....He has an MBA from our Alma Mater, University of Pennsylvania....He inherited his father's plumbing business and grew it into a multi-million dollar business..He might not look like much and may have a funny sounding  name, but Mr. Toilet , excuse me Tolay is loaded."said Bee Bee.

"Mrs. Melody To-Lay doesn't sound soooo bad...."said Sofia.

"People won't say Melody To-Lay...They'll say Melody Toilet... Mrs. Toilet...You know that."said Kahlil.

Jade and Virginia laughed out loud......

Ms. Yvette laughed along with us, but then said.. " His name is funny, but then again, I feel bad for the way we laughed at him when he was here asking for our help....I'm going to talk to him about legally changing the spelling of his name...How can anyone take him serious in business with a name like John Toilet....I mean, Tolay...?? It's French." said Ms. Yvette.

This was met with howls of laughter from everyone in the room...

And at a Rooftop Martini Bar somewhere in the city...A sinister meeting was taking place..

"I may have broken off my marriage to John, but I'll never marry you, you cad!" said  Melody Tolson...

"Come On...Did you really want to be known as Mrs. Toilet?HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

How unlucky was he to go through life with a name like that? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH" laughed Gyp Riley...

"I was a fool to help you...a fool, to momentarily fall for you....And now you're blackmailing me, after all you've done..." said Melody....

"All I've done? All I've Done?  You stole those blueprints....There was no way I could get close...And the person I'm selling them to is willing to pay top dollar....What would your boyfriend with the absolute worst name in history think if he knew how you betrayed him?Not just by sleeping with me, but the ultimate betrayal huh?" he laughed.

"You're evil!" she said.

"Nah, I believe in getting ahead...." said Gyp... "speaking of the Head....I gotta go hit the head before I pay the bill and we get outta here..AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" laughed Gyp.

He went to the restroom....

AN HOUR WENT BY.....He hadn't returned..

Finally she tired of waiting for him and she paid her own tab and left.....

III-

We got in contact with Melody Tolson and gave her our address...To our surprise, She came in..

She marveled at our suite and our conference room..

"This is a nice set up you guys have here." said Melody...

"Thank You Melody...That's a pretty name..Thank you for coming...Allow me to introduce you to my staff....

"This is Attorney Keith Jones"

" His wife, Attorney Beatrice Evans-Jones , we call her Bee Bee."

"Attorney Sofia Garcia-Ahmed."

"Her husband, Attorney Kahlil Ahmed."

" And our Investigator, Jade Lee."

'"And I'm Attorney Yvette Jones."said Ms. Yvette.

"Johnny  asked you all to talk to me huh? An Intervention of sorts huh?   That's sweet...He's sweet...He's the man I should've married.." said Melody...

''Why didn't you?" asked Bee Bee.

"It's complicated...There's things going on that you don't know...Things he can't know...I-I wish I could explain..." said Melody...

"Uncomplicate it for us...Nothing you tell us will go out of this room..."said Sofia.

"No Nothing I care to repeat, but you can tell Johnny something...Tell him...Tell him that I love him..I really do...." said Melody, who got up and walked out...

"Damn, she's like Ice..." I said.

"Maybe John is better off without her." said Kahlil.

"I know right?" said Sofia.

"Well, we did all we could legally do....John isn't suing for breach of contract...We can't make her agree to marry him or even talk to him...That's not our jobs. We are attorneys, not relationship therapists. "said Ms. Yvette..

"He's young, not bad looking...and he's got money...He'll find somebody else...I'm sure."said Bee Bee.

"Yeah, just don't spell his name..." laughed Jade....

Ms. Virginia fell out laughing, which brought laughter from all of us...

While at the Rooftop Martini Bar where Melody had met with Gyp just a day before..

Gyp Riley was seated on the toilet...with a nice neat  bullet hole in between the eyes...Very dead!  The bullet had exited out of the back of his head and bounced off of the brick wall and embedded itself into the stall door...

"Ouuuu this is a nasty one" said one of the crime scene investigators...  He was shot with a small caliber pistol...it probably had a silencer on it...He was shot right between the eyes ...the bullet exited the back of his head and bounced off the brick wall and embedded itself here in the stall door.. Death was instantaneous."he said..

Dr. Hazel Baylor felt the body...It was stiff....

"Ouuuuuuu rigor has set in....He's been dead at least 11-12 hours....He died sometime last night!" she said.

"The Cleaning crew found him about an hour ago.....This place closes at 2:00 AM.... It doesn't open back up until 11:00AM..."said Dr. Marcy Martin

"You mean he sat in here all night and nobody noticed? Didn't they clean the bathroom before closing?" she asked.

"They cleaned the women's restroom.....I guess they didn't get to the men's.." said a CSI man...

Lt. Tragg walked in with three uniformed police officers just then...

"PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE  YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!! IT SMELLS LIKE HELL IN HERE!" he said.

"There's a dead body in here....plus it's the men's restroom." said Hazel sighing at Lt. Tragg's frat boy like ignorance...

''Dead guy's name is Gyp Riley...according to the drivers license in his wallet....He was shot with a small caliber pistol...it probably had a silencer on it...He was shot right between the eyes ...the bullet exited the back of his head and bounced off the brick wall and embedded itself here in the stall door.. Death was instantaneous." said a CSI Man...

"He was a private investigator, according to this license  we found on him also."said a detective at the scene.

''A Dead P.I. huh? No real loss to the world" snickered Lt. Tragg.

Hazel ignored his insensitive remark..."Rigor has set in....He's been dead at least 11-12 hours...." she said.

"WHAT???11-12 hours????"You mean he sat in here all night, dead on the toilet and nobody noticed? Didn't they clean the bathroom before closing? Didn't they smell it? PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE YOUUUUUUUUUUU!" he asked.

''Funny...I asked the same question." said Hazel....

"The Cleaning crew found him....This place closes at 2:00 AM.... It doesn't open back up until 11:00AM...The Horrid smell is what drove them to the men's restroom where the body was discovered."said Dr. Marcy Martin.

"Well...clean him up and get him out of here.... Get somebody on these restaurant cameras...I want to know who this guy talked to...drank with and who followed him into the can.....Get a team on that....

Girls , get me the autopsy report as soon as possible. PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE...YOUUUUUU!" said Lt. Tragg..

The nearly mummified  body was removed from the toilet seat, cleaned up and placed in a body bag and strapped to the gurney and removed...

A Small crowd gathered outside as the body was loaded into a van that would transport it to the Medical Examiner's Office (Morgue)

IV-

At Dinner that night... 

Jazzy was hysterical..."You had a client named JOHN TOILET??" she laughed..
 

"You laugh...but dude is no joke..He's loaded and owns one of the most successful plumbing companies in this city...I've heard of him." said Dabnis..

"Wait a minute...His name is JOHN TOILET and he owns a PLUMBING COMPANY???" this is too much...Sounds like it would be one of my cousin's cases.."laughed Kayla...

"WOWWWWWW! That does sound far out.."laughed her husband, Ray...

"Laugh if you want....But Dabnis is right..."I  googled him earlier....He's not  a slouch... He graduated from Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburg with a degree  in Engineering....He has an MBA from our Alma Mater, University of Pennsylvania....He inherited his father's plumbing business and grew it into a multi-million dollar business..He might not look like much and may have a funny sounding  name, but Mr. Toilet , excuse me Tolay is loaded."said Bee Bee.

"Ouuuu, he is the real deal." said Jessica.

"Well if I had that kind of money....I'd change my name...I'd at least have it spelled the way he says it's announced...To Lay..." said Chip..

"I agree....Imagine walking around all your life with a name like that, John Toilet...."said Karen Page..

"To Lay...it's French." said Natalie, trying hard not to laugh...

David couldn't control his laughter....."Toilet- Tolay, Tomato, Tomato!" he said, laughing...

Neither could Brooke..."I imagine the kids must have teased him immensely.." she said..

 "Growing up in Philly? You know they did." said Sean.

"Oh for sure." said Tony...

"No Doubt" said Paris, who took classes virtually today , while he worked..

 "Yeah, his name does come with it's problems...His Bride to be left him at the alter...We tried to talk to her, but she wouldn't say why...I keep thinking something deeper was going on...and it had nothing to do with her husband to be's last name." said Ms. Yvette.

"I did too...but , it's out of our hands now." I said.

"Poor John...He seemed like a nice guy..."said Bee Bee.

''A Guy who deserved better than her." said Sofia.

"We are lawyers...We aren't the ones to handle that!" said Kahlil.

"He needed a relationship specialist..." said Jade.

"He needed a better class of woman.....She was a cold fish.."said Virginia.

'Well I don't have that problem..You're hot as hell baby!" said her husband Jetty....rubbing her legs and running his hands up her dress... "LAWWWWWWWD TODAY!" he exclaimed.. He was enthralled by his new wife...

"Okay, Okay...Just calm down and cool off horn dog!"laughed Virginia...removing his hands...

In a Basement Parking Garage of a Tony Downtown Apartment complex...

''Wow, this is two today huh?" said a Crime Scene Investigator..

"Yeah man, Imagine that!" said another one..

"Open the door, get her out of there." said another CSI man..

The door was unlocked....The woman was obviously deceased...The car was still running...

"Turn the car off!"  said one of the policemen on the scene..

"Her body is still warm...She's been dead about a half an hour.."said Dr. Hazel Baylor.

Lt. Tragg walked up...He looked at the body and then the car for registration and the dead woman's purse for ID.....

"Crimminy...This is the woman I was looking for...The woman who was seen drinking with our boy found on the toilet this morning, Melody Tolson...She was my number one suspect or at least a person of interest....Looks like maybe she offed herself." said Lt. Tragg.

''We don't know that yet...but I do know a thing or two about cars ,having owned a couple of lemons...This is an old car...In order for this girl to have died from Carbon Monoxide poisoning..It would have had to have run for up to two hours....I don't think the battery in this car could take that...I think this scene was staged...I don't think this girl even died in this car.....but an autopsy will bear me out on that." said Hazel...

"Hmmmmmmmm, well get me a full autopsy report as soon as possible.. In studying this girl..I found out she was engaged to be married and recently broke off her engagement... Find me a man named John Toilet....pick him up!" said Lt. Tragg..
