The Curious Case of Lester Sams

 

TWO DAYS LATER-

PHILADELPHIA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT-

"Our flight leaves in a few minutes."said Deke Richards..

"Thanks for Breakfast Deke..Thanks for everything...I'm going to treat you when we get to Honolulu.."

said Judge Thelma Harper..

"Nonsense, you treat me to enough.......at night...heh heh heh."laughed Deke.

"Awwwwwwwwwwww you're so sweet.." she laughed..

She gave him a slow soft sweet kiss...

that got hotter and heavier by the minute....

"UMMMMMMMMMM I LOVE YOU DEKE!" she said softly...

"I LOVE YOU TOO!" he said.

Meanwhile, we were pulling up in front of Cakeman Raven's Bakery...

Everything looked so good..

I was driving....Nelson and I stayed in the car...

The "girls", my wife, Olivia, her niece, Beverly, Josie , Bresha and Lee, who was helping us with this case went inside.

"Shame we didn't get involved with this case from the beginning...That makes two people who wound up in jail that we could have gotten out if we had taken them through night court."said Olivia.

"Three.....Yvette's client wound up in jail too...Again. Deke lost on arraignment....At least they got to pick their jury." said Beverly.

"Which is why they got an acquittal and not a hung jury." said Josie.

"Remember...We had to hung juries after that and they were with juries we did pick....Just depends on how good the ADA is...Bruce Greene was determined to win that case."said Bresha.

"I sure hope we don't have to tangle with him again."said Josie.

"He probably doesn't want to tangle with you guys either...He's lost two in a row and after three hung juries before it....He's probably all burned out." said Lee.

"Oh Poor Poor Him." said Olivia,laughing.

They filled up two Thermos's full of coffee...

Ordered some doughnuts fresh from the oven...

Pastries 

and Bagels with cream cheese and jelly....

''After sitting in jail for several days he'll welcome this food from the outside."said Beverly with a smile.

We parked in the parking lot of the Men's Correctional Facility...

Our sworn enemy, Bull Bailey was there this morning to search us.... He was different today...Actually polite and cordial.

We met in a brightly colored visiting room...We laid out the spread we brought....

Our client, Lester Sams...a ruggedly handsome man about 10 years Olivia and I's senior walked into the room...He was pleasently surprised at the coffee and bagels and doughnuts and pastries... He smiled.

"Yall are trying to fatten me up huh?  Hello...I'm Lester Sams... I already know who you guys are..I mean, who doesn't?" he laughed.. 

''Well we are glad of that.. This is my husband, Donnie Ray...He's my investigator..He'll be investigating your case."said Olivia.

 

"Hello Mr. Sams, Pleased to meet you." I said.

''And you're Beverly right?" he asked.

"That would be me... And this is my husband, Nelson...like My Auntie and I, he is also an Attorney that will be working on your case."said Beverly.

"Hello Sir.Pleased to meet you." said Nelson.

"Now who are these three lovely ladies , who I do not know?" he asked.

''Allow me to introduce the rest of my staff,  Attorneys Josie Boyd..." said Olivia.

"Hello Sir. Pleased to meet you." said Josie...

"Attorney Bresha Billips" said Olivia.

"Hello Sir. Pleased to meet you." said Bresha...

"And a young attorney working with us as a consultant- Ms. Lee Phillips." said Olivia.

"Hello Sir. Pleased to meet you." said Lee.

"You know, Deke Richards told me he had to leave town and that he was sending some capable attorneys....I didn't believe him...I didn't think my case was high brow enough for him and he was blowing me off...but he wasn't lying...He sent the best..." laughed Lester Sams..

''We are uh repaying a favor." said Olivia.

"Oh I see...He's farmed out his last few cases from our firm.." said Lester Sams.

"You work at Deke's law firm? You're an Attorney?" asked Beverly..

"No I'm a Para-legal....I have a law degree, from Middleton School of Law , but I've failed the Bar Exam twice...My daughter on the other hand, who you will meet has graduated from Middleton and is about to take the bar exam..She's smart...I'm sure she'll pass." said Lester Sams.

And this is where our story begins!

II-

"I'm charged with killing Orlin A.Stockwell... He was a partner..A Managing partner at the firm...and he was world class prick...He talked to people like they were dogs...He was a petty , self-absorbed little man.

He was my direct supervisor.. I hated him...I'm not going to lie.

He gave me four bad evaluations in a row....One more and they would have had grounds to terminate me. It seems I could do nothing right...and he talked to me like I was his child... I didn't put up with that and we often had loud arguments...but he stopped short of terminating me...

He saw himself as some kind of ladies man also... I hated him.. I caught him sniffing around my daughter when she came to visit me...I told him job or no job I'd kill him if he laid his grubby little hands on her.  He laughed.

I needed my job....After my wife died... I sold our house and moved into a condo...I was paying for it..

My daughter lived there and I paid for her to go to and finish law school...No student loans for my kid.

Anyway....on the night in question...I was told by one of the other partners to deliver a letter to Stockwell's home.. Something he was supposed to have signed off on days before.. I reluctantly went to his home.. I found his door wide open and him lying on his living room couch butt naked with a bullet hole in his right temple.

I got the hell out of there with a quickness." he said.

"You were seen fleeing his apartment and you didn't call the police." I said.

"I was scared.....and with our history, sure to be accused of the murder, even though I don't own a gun."said Lester Sam.

"But that's exactly what happened..."said Olivia.

"Yeah I know..." said Lester Sam bowing his head.. "I swear, I didn't do this...Deke is an Associate Attorney at our firm...on a track to make partner....He's a friend...He didn't like Stockwell either, but they stayed out of each other's way...He agreed to take on my case despite the fact he was juggling two others...My daughter wanted to help...but she got accused of a double murder....You all know her...Sonya Still...." said Lester.

Our former client.

"Sonya Still?  We just defended her recently..." said Olivia.

"Yes you did and you guys did a marvelous job....Got her acquitted, now she's free to take the bar...Thank you.. She uses my late wife's maiden name of Still.. She's actually my Step-Daughter...but I've raised her since she was two...I'm the only daddy she knows.."said Lester...

"Understood, you are her daddy....She told us she had just graduated law school...but we never knew she was your daughter and close to taking the bar." said Beverly.

"Of course she didn't and of course you didn't know." said Lester. 

"Well, we are going to do everything we can to get you out of here Mr. Sams." said Olivia.

"You can call me Les.." said Lester.

 

''Alright Les...I'm going to do some digging and get back to you." I said.

"In the meanwhile, dig in, enjoy your bagels,doughnuts and pastries.."said Beverly.

"Yeah...let us know if there is anything else you'd like." said Nelson.

"We'll even bring you some hot home made soup next time we come up."said Josie.

"I'd like that a lot...A whole lot."said Lester Sams with a smile.

"Well, we've got our work cut out for us."said Bresha.

"I know....This is the fun part." laughed Lee.

And at our Office/Duplex as we spoke.

'So Lester Sams is your daddy huh? We just got finished defending you and now we are defending your daddy...Imagine that!"said Alfreda , who was entertaining Sonya Still, who had dropped by to see us.

"I meant to drop by here yesterday....I'm sorry I missed them...I want to help out on the case...I'm not yet a licensed attorney, but I am a recent law school graduate...I'm about to take the bar exam soon." said Sonya.

''Well in addition to the four lawyers on her staff...Olivia has already hired another attorney as a consultant....but I'm sure she wouldn't mind your help....The more the merrier..Still we'll have to see what she says when they return."said Alfreda.

Our day ended and we all filed out one by one...

As we filed out... Bull Bailey checked out Lee with a wry smile.

He found her very attractive and the fact that she was the lone female in our group not sporting a wedding band made her even more attractive to him...He smiled and said Good Night..

He stopped Olivia and pulled her to the side...Despite his animosity towards us for his current situation, he found Olivia extremely attractive and someone he felt could reason with..

"Olivia....for someone who handles the volume of cases you handle, might you need an investigator?  I was a Homicide Lieutenant for years you know, with a high clearence rate and a pretty decent federal investigator also." he said.

"Thank you for your offer Mr. Bailey, but I have an adequate investigator.....Him!" she said...pointing at me..

"He used to be a Homicide Detective also." she added.

"Oh!  Well how about your girlfriend, Yvette Jones?" he asked.

"She has an investigator, Jade, who was a Homicide Detective in Tokyo and you know she's married to an investigator for the D.A.'s Office. I'll let you know if any of my other friends are interested..."said Olivia.

"Yes...Thank you." he said.

As we filed into our car.....Olivia said.

 

"He desperately wants to get out of there...He asked me if I needed any additional Investigative work done." said Olivia.

 

"He must have thought I was another one of your attorneys." I said.

"Regardless...I would rather not use his help in any capacity."said Beverly.

"That's the same for me." said Nelson.

"Me too!"said Josie.

"Ditto!" said Bresha.

"I didn't figure he'd be a good fit for our group....He asked about Yvette and I told him she had an investigator..."said Olivia.

"Not to mention she's married to one."said Beverly...

"He did find you quite attractive Baby Girl."said Olivia to Lee.

"Ughhhhhhh Don't play with me like that." said Lee.... 

This brought us all to loud raucous laughter...

 

As we all pulled off and headed home..

III-

HONOLULU-

Deke and Judge Thelma Harper arrived in Honolulu and got a hotel with an Ocean view...

Thelma peered out the window on to the beach...

"Oh My Godddd! This is beautiful Deke..Just Beautiful...Thank you for bringing me here." she said.

"Nothing but the best for you darlin!" said Deke...

He had ordered a bottle of champaigne, properly chilled.

They popped the bottle

and proceeded to drink the entire bottle.... Getting them both good and toasted..

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu I'm a little dizzy.."laughed Thelma..

"I am too! but not THAT dizzy.." he laughed..

"Of course you aren't" she laughed...

They began kissing by the window....

"Ouuuuuuuuuuu we are by the window Deke.." she gasped.

"Nobody can see us from this high up..." he said.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh my goddddddddd!" she moaned..

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!" he moaned.....

They began undressing... He slipped her dress over her head...

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH DEKE!  UMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!" she moaned.

"THELMA...OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! AWWWWWWWWWW LAWDDD!" he moaned..

She was wearing a matching Silk laced bra and matching Bikini panties... Deke was losing his mind..

His eyes popping out of their sockets...which made Thelma laugh..

"You are a trip..." she said, laughing.....

"YOU!  You are gorgeous." he said.

"Thank you." she said.

and continued kissing him...

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!" he moaned.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she cooed.

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THELMA!" he moaned.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU DEKE!" she cooed.

They lie on the soft couch....She straddled him and began moving up and down on him...

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY GOD!!! DEKE! OHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY GOD!!! OUUUUUUUUUUUUU! "OHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY GOD!!!You are sooooo hard and so damn big....OUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she screamed as the tears streamed down the side of her face and she began to tremble something awful...She was having a very quick orgasm....

"I DON'T BELIEVE THIS!" she said as she rode him like a surfer rides the waves... He couldn't believe

how wet and warm she was, how good she smelled....It was the best feeling in the world he thought.

They sat on the side of the couch and kissed passionately as she continued to ride him like a surfer rides the waves....

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY GOD!!! DEKE! OHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY GOD!!! OUUUUUUUUUUUUU! "OHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY GOD!!!" she moaned...

He flipped her over and entered her again...

OHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY GOD!!! DEKE! OHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY GOD!!! OUUUUUUUUUUUUU! "OHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY GOD!!!You are sooooo hard and so damn big....OUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she screamed as the tears streamed down the side of her face and she began to tremble something awful...She was having another  orgasm....

"I DON'T BELIEVE THIS!" she said as he stroked her with wild abandon....."You aren't doing this to me... OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH LAWWWWD!" she moaned..

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!! DEKE!!  BABYYYYYYY!" she cried out...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU GIRL!" he moaned..

As they made sweet love for TEN TO ELEVEN HOURS!

They lie on the couch cuddling...With her lying across his chest....

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU YOU ARE AN ABSOLUTE BEAST!" she said...

And the cool breeze off the ocean blowing through the window and on to their sweaty bodies..

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW LAWWWWD!" he moaned....

as they lie on the couch kissing and sweating....

until they both dozed off to sleep!

While in Philadelphia...

"Ms. Olivia ,I meant to drop by here yesterday....I'm sorry I missed you all...I want to help out on the case...I'm not yet a licensed attorney, but I am a recent law school graduate...I'm about to take the bar exam soon." said Sonya. 

"As you can see I have my four attorneys ,plus a fifth helping out....but, it's fine if you would like to help...I'll even pay you a small stipend."said Olivia.

 

"You can work with our young ladies....They do the research neccesary for trial preparation."I said.

"It's good education for you....And we'll help you study for the bar as well." said Beverly.

"And I can show you Jury Preparation later on..."said Nelson...

"OuuuuuuuuThank You." said Sonya.

"They did that for me when I was about to graduate from law school...and they helped me study for the bar afterwords." said Lee.

"I came at the right time....Sorry my daddy's life is on the line..."said Sonya.

"It's through dramatic times like this, that you learn the most."said Josie.

"You'll be alright." said Bresha.

''Sure will."said Lee.

IV-

Olivia sat on the bed looking at her laptop...

DEKE RICHARDS Jr.-

I walked in, I passed her some Tea. I had a cup for myself.

"Reading up on Deke? I thought you knew him...You were in law school with him."I said.

"Ummmmmmm thank you...this is so relaxing. Vettie raves about this tea. I was in law school with him..He was a year ahead of me and Vettie...but he liked us....He often studied with us...and he helped us out a lot... Karen too!  He really liked Vettie, but she was afraid of him...She felt that if she went to bed with him she'd fall in love and be ruined...hahahahahaha...She was funny like that..She'd sleep with some guys and it would be no thing...Others, she avoided..and those were the ones she really wanted. Like Deke, Like Gary..."laughed Olivia.

"Gary got her eventually!" I said and smiled.

"And you see they're married...I told her when we met Gary in Josies so many years ago that that was her future husband...I could see it...She couldn't and didn't want it...but look at her now...Happily married to the man and he's happy too..He was crazy about Yvette from day one..

Deke was a serious fellow..Serious abou law...All he ever wanted to be was a lawyer, like his father, the Judge...He was an excellent student and his work ethic paid off with us too..We became serious and good students...

He was serious about the women too and he deflowered quite a few women, white and black in PENN LAW while he was there..

After he graduated and passed the bar.. His father got him a nice cushy job at the law firm he is currently at and he made his bones as a Defense Attorney, a Brilliant one and is a Senior Associate today..  I'm surprised he hasn't made partner.... Part of that is because he has spent an enormous amount of time collecting womens panties and bras..."laughed Olivia.

"By the way....I'd like to uh collect yours...."I said and winked..

"You are soooo bad..." laughed Olivia, slowly and seductively slipping them off...

UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!" I moaned. "That was easy..." I said as we began kissing.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! Only for you...I love you." she cooed.

"I love you too" I said as we continued kissing..

Olivia straddled me and began moving up and down on me...

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY GOD!!! DONNIE RAY! OHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY GOD!!! OUUUUUUUUUUUUU! "OHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY GOD!!! ..OUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she screamed as the tears streamed down the side of her face and she began to tremble something awful...She was having a very quick orgasm....

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU THIS FEELS SO GOOD!" moaned Olivia.....

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!" I moaned.. It felt good to me too!

We sat on the side of the bed and kissed passionately as Olivia continued to ride me like a surfer rides the waves....

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY GOD!!! DONNIE RAY! OHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY GOD!!! OUUUUUUUUUUUUU! "OHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY GOD!!!" she moaned...

It was a beautiful night!
