THE OFFICE OF ATTORNEY HARLAN DIXON- TWO DAYS LATER!

Harlon Dixon was amused...

"They're very good...and very troublesome..."he said.,

"I can't tell you how many people have asked me to investigate these attorneys...They are no slouches...

believe me...back off of them." said Private Investigator, Bert Venderberg...a former FBI agent turned P.I.

"It is they who will have to back off of me."laughed Harlon Dixon... "They have absolutely nothing to work with." he laughed.

 

 "Marcy where have you been?  I thought I'd hear from you by now." said Yvette,.

"Auntie Grizelda and I couldn't come to an agreement...I kept telling her not to trust Harlon that he was just out to get her fortune,,,but she wouldn't believe me...We couldn't come to an agreement and she told me if I kept talking against Harlon, she was going to cut me out of her will altogether..So I left...I went to Toronto and I stayed there...Now she's dead...She's dead and Harlon is about to inherit a quarter of her fortune...It's not fair..It's not fair." said Marcy Lewis.

"Unfortunately...it's all legal and there isn't much if anything we can do about it..She wrote it up that way." I said.

''We looked into Harlon..He had three other old wealthy clients...and they all included him in their wills and all of them died in months,,,, One , a man fell or was thrown from atop a skyscraper.... Another man

was hit by a speeding car....and a third , another man had a fatal accident in which his boat exploded..."said Bee Bee.

''All three deaths were ruled accidental and not further investigated.. and all three men had Harlon in his will and he inherited millions."said Sofia.

"He hasn't been in court in years...Hasn't represented any clients and certainly hasn't done any pro bono work...His brand of lawyering has been most profitable."said Kahlil.

"Yes, very profitable...I'm looking into all three of these "accidents"  said Jade.

"There is a codizal in Grizelda's will.   If either of you, Harlon or yourself is convicted of a crime...Your portion of the inheritance is void  and sent to the other." said Yvette.

"Mrs. Morales called us...She wanted to talk..She was angry."said Virginia.

"Mrs. Morales was my Aunt's housekeeper for years..If anyone knows where the bodies are buried...No pun intended..She would..She didn't like or Trust Harlon either..."said Marcy.

"Then that's who we need to be talking to...Sofia...go with Jade...talk to her." said Yvette.

"I'm on it!" said Sofia.

II-

THE NEXT DAY-

The House sat somber, eerily quiet..

Several UHAUL Trucks pulled away....Practically all of the furniture in the house and expensive artwork was gone....

Sofia and Jade drove up..

"This is strange...Mrs. Morales told us to meet her here today." said Sofia.

"Yeah but that was two days ago...I've talked to the neighbors... No one has seen her in two days."said Jade.

"The Uhaul guy told me...that Harlon gave him the keys to the house and told them what to take and where to take it. but other than that...No sign of her."said Sofia.

"This is odd, very odd." said Jade.

"I know."said Sofia.

And at the Office of Harlon Dixon-

"This is a very modest office for one as wealthy as yourself" said Ms. Yvette.

"I am very frugal if that's what you mean and I suspect it's not.  Just what are you getting at Mrs. Jones-Lockwood.?" asked Harlon Dixon.

"I have a very good investigator...she looked into you...Apparently you've had three other wealthy clients...All thought very fondly of you and all included you in their wills and then met very untimely deaths within months...making you a very wealthy man...Grizelda Lewis being the fourth."said Ms. Yvette,

"I'm a good lawyer." he laughed.

"You must be...You haven't been in a courtroom in years...You've done no pro bono work, you haven't even been in many litigations...You've just been shmoozing with your wealthy clients."said Bee Bee.

"No law against that....I have been rather fortunate...Perhaps as your legal career grows you'll be as fortunate...I am assuming you got in this law game to make a little money didn't you?" he smirked.

"Have you talked to Mrs. Morales lately?  I know she called you a little after midnight a few days ago." said Yvette.

"Your investigator is good... Yes..I left word with her that her services would no longer be needed because I plan to sell the house...Your investigator and your other associate are there right now discovering as much. Heh heh heh...I have an investigator too!"laughed Harlon Dixon. "As for Mrs. Morales...I haven't heard from her since that rather obtuse late night phone call." he said.

"She called our office the next morning...Said she needed to talk to us and that it was of such importance that she couldn't discuss it on the phone, but that we would need to hear this., I gave her my office's address and told her to meet with me....That was two days ago...I haven't heard from her since..and I tried to call her, but her phone has been disconnected."said Yvette.

"Hmmmm that is strange...I needed to talk to her about which account she wanted her severance wired to...That is strange indeed. I haven't heard from her either." said Harlon.

At the Morgue, Marcy, Kahlil and I looked at the body of Grizelda Lewis.

"She was starting to have delusions..She believed I was trying to cheat her out of her money...No doubt that Harlon Dixon egged those thoughts on." said Marcy.

"Dementia and Alzheimers is a terrible thing...It took my aunt out.,"said Kahlil.

"Yeah it's rough...I heard that it destroys the brain gradually and you lose all functions and then boom...you're gone!" I said,.

"Only she didn't die from that...She was being fed a steady diet of Arsenic for a period of months...It was in all of her prepared food...We need to talk to that housekeeper Mrs. Morales."said Dr. Hazel Baylor.

"We'd like to talk to her too...Only we can't find her."  said Kahlil.

"Did she prepare her meals?" I asked.

''Some of them...Auntie got so paranoid that she insisted Harlon be in charge of damn near everything..She didn't even want me in charge of anything,." said Marcy.

III-

LATER THAT DAY-

 

 "I'm worried about Mrs. Morales....She really sounded like she wanted to get something off of her chest."said Mrs. Yvette..

"Yeah like who was serving Grizelda her meals and what was in the meals."I said.

''She hasn't been seen or heard from in three days now...That's odd." said Bee Bee. "No movement on her credit or debit cards either."she continued.

"She had an address in our old neighborhood.. I'm going to check it out and see if she's there or if anybody knows where she is." said Sofia.

"I hope Mrs. Morales isn't dead!"said Kahlil.

"I've been thinking the same thing.  I don't put anything past Harlon Dixon."said Jade.

"It's a thought." said Virginia.

Tender was the night!

At Ms. Yvette's house.-

Yvette sipped her organic orange tea...

She loved sipping it before she went to bed.

"You got a big case?" asked Gary...

"Not yet, but I feel one coming...and real soon." said Yvette...

"Hmmmmmmmmmm!" he said and smiled..

He picked her up and sat her on his lap, straddling him...

She liked the feel of being in Gary's arms...Sometimes it took all of her worries of the day away...Now was one of those times....

She kissed him softly, slowly.....His lips like hers were soft....

then passionately.....He was always aroused when alone with her....She was very aroused herself right now..

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuu Garrrry!" she cooed..Her body trembling...

"AWWWWWWWW VETTIE GIRRRRRRL!" he moaned, slipping her panties down.

Yvette straddled him and eased herself down on him...her legs shaking as she did so...His legs shaking too as he felt her warm , wet center.....

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU GARRRY!"she cooed..

"AWWWWWWWW VETTIE GIRRRRRRL!" he moaned...''AWWWWWWW LAWWWD!" he cried out.

She stared into his beautiful green eyes...and kissed him as she moved up and down on him....

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she cooed..

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH GURL!" he moaned as she moved up and down on him and stared into his eyes..

Her head moved from side to side....Tears streamed down the side of her face and her body and his both trembled a little bit..

She continued to kiss him softly and slowly...

"OUUUUUUUUUU YVETTE DENISE JONES!!" he moaned.

"GARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRY!! OUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she cooed.

They stayed that way, making sweet love for the next FEW HOURS!.....

IV-

CURLEY'S BAR- THURSDAY NIGHT- COUPLES NIGHT!

"It's been a week and nothing...Maybe we don't have a case at all." said Jade.

 

 "Yeah...maybe there is nothing...I don't know what happened to Mrs. Morales.Whatever she was going to tell us couldn't have been that important." said Yvette.

"Forget about it babe...A Big case will come your way before you know it." said Gary.

"I keep thinking that. but a part of me thinks that that big case is right on the horizon." I said.

"I find it so hard to believe Mrs. Morales was so eager to talk to us and then nothing." said Bee Bee.

"I went around the way yesterday.  Nobody saw her....And her other residence has someone living in it.

I couldn't even find her car." said Sofia.

"I think she's dead." said Kahlil.

"But who? How?"asked Jade.

"Why don't you guys file a missing persons report?" said Lt. Danny Ho.

"Yeah, that's a good idea. Sgt. Sam Smith is pretty good." said Virginia.

"If it means that much to you , you should until you get an answer."said  Jetty. 

"What do you think Vettie? " asked Olivia.

"It's what I don't wanna think."said Ms. Yvette.

 

"Don't think it then....Let the case come to you Yvette. I learned that as a Homicide Detective." said Donnie Ray.

"We need another trip to the shore." said Beverly...

"We don't wanna go too often...We'll get bored."laughed Nelson.

"I can't see that happening."laughed Josie.

"Besides...I think we go to Bayside this weekend." said Paris.

"Oh yeah...There will be that new D.J. spinning at the rink." said Bresha.

"He has a team of 4 other D.J.'s and dancing girls."said Tony...

"And that's particularly interesting to you right?" said Alfreda, smiling.

"Take the 5th Tony."laughed Rockland..

Hanlon Dixon was in the bar that night...Staring at us and our friends...while drinking tequila.

 

"That's Harlon Dixon, the Attorney over there."said Nina Rios.

 

"I take it you know him." said Carlos.

"I did...He was a halfway decent Assistant District Attorney...but that was years ago...I doubt if he's set foot in a courtroom since then..He represents wealthy clients...Old wealthy clients."said Nina.

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuu he's making money out of this law game." said Lee Phillips.

"Must be nice." said Matthew Ake.

 

"Yeah he ingratiates himself with wealthy clients, winds up in their wills and they have a fatal accident sometime later." said Jazzy.
 

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuu what are you insinuating?"laughed Dabnis, who had heard of him.

"It may be an insinuation , but it's a loud and obvious one."said Kayla.

"Yeah, but it has to be proven doll.."said her husband, Ray.

"It's a nice hustle however you look at it."said Jessica.

"He's making this law game pay off for him.In spades!" laughed her husband, Chip.

"One day he'll slip up. If the suspicions of many is true." said Karen.

"Yeah, the suspicions of many...." said B.L.

"I'm suspicious about the color of your panties today Natalie."her husband David whispered in her ear.

Natalie blushed.  "Ouuuuuuuuuuu listen how nasty you talk to me.. You should have paid attention when I was getting dressed this morning.Horny toad."laughed Natalie, rubbing her index finger across his lips.

"I will be paying attention next time I promise. Close attention." said David.

"And next time you won't have to ask me!" said Natalie, smiling devilishly..

before she rewarded him with a kiss...

"That's for always making me feel so desirable and sexy." she whispered...

"You're welcome baby!" said David.

as they continued kissing passionately...

Brooke and Sean were kissing passionately too!

"Those two can't keep their hands off of each other." mused Brooke.

"Reminds me of you and me..."said Sean as he took her in his arms and began kissing her.

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm!" moaned Brooke as she and Sean continued kissing passionately....

"I love Couples Night....I wish Josie's would do something like this."said Zoey.

"Well they do a lot..Karioke Night, Band Night, Comics Night..."added Lem. 

Renee and Tyrell were kissing passionately also.

"Yes they do..... and we can do this anywhere....except maybe Church." laughed Renee, who was kissing her husband, Tyrell.

"Mmmmmmmmmmm yes." moaned Tyrell.

Who never missed a chance to grope or kiss Renee..

But Yvette was laser focused on Harlon Dixon....

She knew though she had no evidence yet that he had something to do with the disappearance of Mrs. Morales.
