Division of Labor

This Morning we had a crowd at Breakfast...

In addition to our regular crowd, we had guests....

"Okay guys and Gals, Dig in...Breakfast is served..." said Alfreda...

"Oh My Godd! do you guys always eat like this?" said Sonya Still, our former client and guest, who was sleeping in our basement apartment this week..

"Everyday they do.." said Lee Phillips, who along with her boyfriend, Matthew Akes , drove up to our Office /Duplex to have breakfast with us...

"The two of us stayed here during my immigration trial...We had a hot breakfast like this every morning."said Matthew , who was off from work today and hanging out with us.

"Oh My God!!! I'm going to enjoy this week!" laughed Sonya. 

"So dig in, make yourselves a plate...And we want to thank all of you,Sonya, Lee, Matthew...It's nice to have help with a case..." said Olivia.

 

"It gives me time to do a little investigating...and to take Shortcake with me."I said.

"Oh Goodie!"said Beverly, who loved going out with me when I was investigating....

Nelson helped himself to Waffles and Pancakes...

While Josie helped herself to Eggs to order....

Bresha had both Eggs and Pancakes...

"More people to help me with the dishes after we are through..." laughed Alfreda as she made herself a plate and sat down.

"My boyfriend took the day off from work and decided he wanted to hang around me today, So I said, If you do you're going to make yourself useful."laughed Lee.

"Sounds like you put something on him and he's sprung for the day."whispered Sonya.

"Oh I always do that.."joked Lee...

"Okayyyyyyyyyyyyy!"laughed Sonya... "I like her!" she said looking at Matthew..

"I can work on research with the girls or Jury preparation and selection with Nelson...It's your call Olivia."said Matthew.

"Oh you're an Attorney too?" asked Sonya.

"Yes I practice International Law at the Consulate, but I understand Defense work."said Matthew.

"Lee works at the Women's Law Center, You'll learn that we have a network of Attorney friends who help us out from time to time and who all live around here."said Olivia as we sat down and ate our food.

 

"This is the most help we've had on the legal side in a long time.." I said.

"Get enough to eat?" said Beverly jokingly to her husband...

"Yeah....You know I'm going to work it off." said Nelson, smiling slyly.... Either in the gym and spa at the Bridge Building or in bed on top of her...She knew exactly what he meant,.

"He's got a tape worm in him Beverly.."laughed Josie.

Bresha laughed loudly...

Alfreda smiled and shook her head.

HONOLULU-

Deke and Judge Thelma Harper were still in Honolulu in their hotel with an Ocean view...

The cool breeze blew in their room from off the ocean...

They lie in their bed, drenched in sweat...after a night of passionate lovemaking...

"OUUUUUUU DEKE!  DEKE!! YOU ARE A BEAST!! OUUUUUUUUUUU!" moaned Thelma, one of her legs still shaking....

"AWWWWWWWWWW LAWWWWD!" he moaned......

"Let's get up, get dressed and go out on the town, get some breakfast...." she said...

"Okay..." he said, trying to catch his breath....

They took a nice hot soapy shower together.....

"Ummmmmmm Deke, a vacation in Hawaii,.This is beautiful...I've never been here before, never dreamed of this... This is just incredible..Thank youuuuuuu!" she said.

"You're welcome baby!" he said softly..

II-

In Our Law Library, Josie was running the show today....

Josie had her laptop out and case files in front of her...

''Sonya as you'll find out once you become a working attorney, this is the dull boring work attorneys do that you don't see on TV or on the news...The gathering of facts....We research Laws pertaining to this case...all of them... Laws and rulings pertaining to like or simular cases...and predicates.." said Sonya.

"Like during my trial when you guys tied Bruce Greene up so much and the Judge had no choice but to side with you....You guys were so on point."said Sonya, who was teamed up with Josie this morning.

"That's right and we look at the autopsy report, crime scene photos and reports and witness statements to make sure they are consistant, which is what Lee and I are doing here." said Bresha, who also had her laptop and case files with her.

Lee smiled.  "I'm doing a little bit of both here, hoping we don't miss anything." she said

Turning on her laptop...

and studying her case files...

Alfreda and Olivia looked on at them...

"You've got your young ladies trained well Olivia, they are like a well oiled machine."said Alfreda.

''Beverly ,Nelson and I used to do allof this ourselves for the longest...I'm glad to have Josie and Bree here and have the extra help of law student, Sonya and newly minted attorney Lee...Fresh eyes."said Olivia.

Next Door in our media room...

"I remember what you taught me during my immigration and murder trials....about picking jurors with the same education, same class status and if possible, same political beliefs as the client."said Matthew Akes.

"That's right if you want a true jury of the client's peers.." said Nelson.

"I took their lunch orders." said Alfreda.

"Good...They'll all be good and hungry when they finish up this morning." said Olivia.

And at Sam Mother's Diner, Beverly and I sat drinking Ice Tea.

I showed her telephone records , going back a year of Mr. Stockwell..

''Tell me Shortcake...Do you see a pattern?" I said.

She looked for awhile then she said.,

"Okay if we isolate business calls and look at these personal calls..  He calls these women twice, sometimes three times a day....He's calling this woman and she's calling him steadily for four months...Then the calls stop... Then he's calling this woman, twice, then three times a day for four months and then the calls stop....Then he calls this woman five times a day and she calls him and after six months , the calls stop...He must have really liked her..." laughed Beverly.

" Right! Then there are calls to a blocked number, don't know who that is...That just started up and then stopped suddenly.....Let's look into these women first.." I said.

The first number took us to a familliar building...The Bridge Building, where our friends worked..Naturally we stopped by to say hello.

We stopped by their cafeteria, where they were finishing up Breakfast.

I showed Jazzy a photo of the woman we wanted to talk to.. 

"I know her...She's a C.P.A.  She 's in an office down the hall from me..I'll take you there after we eat."said Jazzy.

"Would you? Oh that's so cool."said Beverly.

 

"Lt. Tragg was in here yesterday talking to her...He didn't see any of us luckily and he didn't choose to eat here."said her husband, Dabnis.

"Our secret is safe for now."laughed Beverly's cousin, Kayla.

"I'm happy for you...How's my Boo Boo?" said Beverly ,hugging her favorite cousin..

"Your Boo Boo is just fine."laughed Kayla...

"I take good care of her." said her husband, Ray.

"Oh I don't doubt that!" laughed Beverly.

"Hey Guys, heard you have another case.."said Jessica Sanchez-Burrows of the Innocence Project.

"That was pretty fast...Just like us."said her husband, Chip.

"Yes and Us.."laughed Karen.

"Hey Bev...Renee and I are coming over to have our hair washed and pressed or is this a bad week?" asked Natalie.

"Nah Come on Over....we don't work around the clock." said Beverly...

"I'm sure Nelson and Tyrell and I can find something to do." said Natalie's husband, David.

"Donnie Ray, the woman you're looking for isn't the most friendly woman, I should warn you...After her break up a few months ago...She was an absolute witch to be around."said Brooke.

"Yeah especially if she saw a happy couple kissing."said Sean.

"She must have seen you two's Public display of Affection in the hallway."laughed Zoey.

Her husband Lem laughed out loud...

"Heyyy Bev."said Renee.

"Hey Girlie." said Beverly...

"Hello Mr. Donnie Ray." said Tyrell.

"Heyyy Tyrell."I said.

Tony and Paris saw me everyday when they came to pick up their wives....I sat down next to them and sipped some coffee..

"And how is my other Auntie?" asked Beverly, hugging Ms. Yvette. 

 "I'm doing just fine...Where is Olivia and the rest of the team?" asked Ms. Yvette.

"They're at home working hard on this latest case..."I said.

"We've got a lot help...Lee and her boyfriend, Matt are helping us and Sonya Still, our last client happens to be the daughter of our current client and a law student who just graduated, but hasn't taken the bar yet...She's helping us."said Beverly.

"I was just going to ask if you needed our help....but I guess you don't." said Keith Jones.

"Well you have our moral support soror."said Bee Bee.

''Always that...Ouuuuuuuuuuuu Ouuuuuuuuu ooooop!" said Sofia.

"Thanks Sorors."said Beverly , hugging them both..

"So what brings you here?" asked Kahlil.

I showed him and Jade a photo..

"She does...I understand she works in this building."I said.

"A floor below us, down the hall from Jasmine...She's a real piece of work."said Jade.

"She's been hurt in love."said Virginia.

"That doesn't give her the right to behave badly." said Jetty.

"Drama Central huh?"laughed Nina.

"A Cardiac a day."I sighed..

Her husband Carlos laughed.

III-

We went to the office of Beverly Keith....an Attorney who worked for a Pharmecutical Company.

"Hello...I'm Attorney Beverly West-East...I'm one of the Attorneys representing Lester Sams, the man accused of killing Mr. Stockwell.. This is my associate....Investigator, Donnie Ray Alexander..." she said.

"We have a few questions to ask you if you don't mind." I said.

"I'll tell you what I told that policeman yesterday, that Lt. Tragg...I DID NOT KILL HIM!   I WASN'T IN TOWN WHEN HE GOT KILLED...YOU CAN CHECK!...I WAS IN L.A.  I DIDN'T KNOW HE WAS DEAD UNTIL TWO DAYS AFTERWORDS WHEN I GOT BACK IN TOWN!...BUT I'M NOT SAD HE'S DEAD..Not at all.

Orlin Stockwell did some legal work for my firm, I assisted him....He wined and dined me for a month, constantly calling me..At all times of night, breathing heavy and wanting to know what color my bra was or what color panties was I wearing...I thought he was cute at first....I went out with him, two or three times and then we slept together.....I couldn;t get rid of him after that for about four months...And then just like that, nothing...No return calls, No texts, no nothing....I went to his office and he was laid up with another girl..Had security usher me out...Ouuuuuuu I hate him....I'm glad he's dead....Give me your address and I'll donate some money to his defense fund..." she said.

WELLLLL, That was that.

We left the Bridge Building and headed for our second destination...

Beverly drove...

I spoke to Olivia via Zoom....

"So the first woman checked out huh?" asked Olivia.

"Yeah...her credit cards, debit cards, phone records  and airline tickets bare her out....she was in Los Angelas the day of the killing and didn't return to Philadelphia until two days afterwords...But she hated his guts...Said she'd donate money to his Defense fund.." I said.

Olivia laughed and laughed at that....

"Strike off Beverly Keith." she said.

We next went to another office building... The Office of Sylvia Weinstein, Esquire.

"Hello...I'm Attorney Beverly West-East...I'm one of the Attorneys representing Lester Sams, the man accused of killing Mr. Stockwell.. This is my associate....Investigator, Donnie Ray Alexander..." she said.

"We have a few questions to ask you if you don't mind Ms. Weinstein." I said.

This woman, Sylvia Weinstein wasn't nearly as hostile...In fact she offered us Coffee and Cake.

"Orlin Stockwell did wonderful legal work for my firm...We were quite pleased with him and he made no bones about the fact that he was quite pleased with me..He wined and dined me quite a bit last year...and pretty soon he began calling me...Calling me constantly....We began dating...but I always felt he had another woman.....I wasn't sure... Soon we began sleeping together...a lot...Once, sometimes twice a day,one time three times a day...The man was an insatiable horn dog...This went on for four or five months...Then he just ghosted me...No more phone calls or texts..Nothing.. I stopped by his office a couple of times and was told he either wasn't in or I had just missed him..I can take a hint...I just left,.

It was fun while it lasted.

I don't care about him...and I don't have trouble getting a man...I'm dangling two men as we speak..If you want to know where I was, the night he was killed... I was in Atlantic City...You can check." she said.

As we headed to our third and final destination....

"She checks out...She was in Atlantic City at the Borgata the night he was killed."said Beverly.

"We can check her off our list...On to the next person."I said.

The Next Person was surprisingly somebody we knew....

Assistant District Attorney Diane Baronski.

She was mortified seeing us...And she ushered the two of us into her office...

"Olin Stockwell called you on your personal phone and at this office five times a day and you called him at least as many times going on for about four or five months.."said Beverly..

"We met last year at a Christmas party....He was all over me...Had his hands up my skirt, rubbing my legs, trying to slip my panties down...I had had a lot to drink....We slipped into this office and closed the door, dimmed the lights and pulled my curtains and we made love all night long and into the next day, Christmas.... I was so embarrassed when I woke up and slipped out the next morning." she said.

"This was last year?   It appears he was juggling at least two other women at the time."  I said.

"I didn't care....I just didn't want Jake to find out...Then about four months ago he began calling me again....I told him I didn't want anything to do with him and for him to leave me alone... but he kept calling four and five times a day....I called him back asking what could I do to get him to stop calling me...He said to sleep with him again....I said absolutely not and I threatened to take legal action against him if he didn't stop.... He didn't stop...He'd call me late at night and demand to know what I wearing, asking me what color panties I had on...I was about to take out a restraining order against him at the time of his death...Beverly...Donnie Ray...You know me...I'm no killer....I didn't kill him, I swear."said Diane Baronski..

She looked fearful...

I believed her...

Beverly did too...but we checked out her story....

She was with Jake Patois...known to the females as "Lawyer Bae" at the time of the killing.

That night , Beverly and I returned home.

We were having Dinner....
 

''So All three suspects checked out." said Olivia.

 

"Yes, but there is one more person...an unknown caller who he called from a blocked number and who called him...We need to know who that person is." I said.

"That might be the woman that killed him.  All of these women kind of were betrayed by him after awhile."said Beverly.

"He was quite an operator."said Nelson.

"Quite A Dog!" snarled Josie.

Her husband, Paris laughed...

Bresha sat quietly on her husband's lap...

Tony quietly rocked her back and forth....

"We've got quite a crowd tonight.."said Alfreda, smiling..

"I see."said Rockland. 

"I love this. You ready to go home babe?" asked Lee.

 

"Yeah Babe!"laughed Matthew.

Sonya noticed that everybody was with their significant others...She wished she had a boyfriend.

In time, she thought hopefully.

IV-

Later that night....

We were all home, We had had an incredible day....

Olivia and I retreated to our bedroom... 

We were kissing like there was no tomorrow, right outside our bedroom door...

"OUUUUUUUUUU YOU ARE KISSING ME LIKE YOU WANT SOMETHING!" laughed Olivia.

"I DO!" I said and chuckled.

"Ummmmmmmm Donnie Rayyyyyy, Let's go in the bedroom and get undressed. so I can give it to you.." she cooed.

"OHHHHHHHHHH I CAN'T LET YOU GO!" I moaned...as Olivia, unloosened my tie and unbuttoned my shirt...

"You're going to have to let me go for a few minutes....Come on...Let's get undressed.." she cooed again...slipping out of my embrace for a minute...

We continued to kiss once in the bedroom.....I had her dress and her heels off....

"You are sooooo bad." she laughed...

She was down to her bra and panties...and we were still kissing...

''UMMMMMMMM We can rest...tomorrow is just another day.." she cooed.

"I welcome it too!" I said as I unsnapped her bra and slipped it off...

I slipped her panties down....and unhooked her bra.

"Ummmmmmmm you have the best panties and matching bras.." I said.

"Oh hush up silly...but I'm glad you notice." she laughed...

"Ummmmm Olivia, I want to screw your brains out..." I moaned..

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuu promises, promises.." she laughed...as we lie across our bed ,still kissing....

I flipped her over  and entered her very soft wet center slowly..........

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...UMMMMMMMMMMMPH!!!" I moaned..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU DONNIE RAYYYYY...OUUUUUUUUUUUUUU YOU FEEL SO DAMN GOOODD!" she moaned..

"OHHHHHHH SO DO YOU BABY!" I said.. It was true.. Olivia was warm and wet and smelled like a new born baby...and was so soft...I was on the verge of cumming right away..

Her body began to tremble and her legs began to shake, her head turned from side to side and she began to cry like a baby....she was having a very quick and intense orgasm.....tears were just flowing down the sides of her face....

She wrapped her arms and legs around me and deep throat kissed me as I plunged into her..

"OHHHHHH MY GOD!! OUUUUUUUUU YOU ARE A HORSE....WOUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she moaned loudly...

She was so wet, it wasn't funny....I didn't know if I was coming or going....

She was smiling broadly as we made sweet love....

There was something about making love on a nice night like this.....that was very special...

EIGHT TO NINE HOURS SLID BY SLOWLY!!

Olivia lie peacefully on top of me, sleeping like a baby...I had a wide grin on my face as I held her and rubbed her butt.

Beverly was startled seeing Nelson , butt naked and as erect as a board in the bathroom ,behind her as she brushed her teeth for the night...She was washing her mouth out when she noticed him..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU, Look at you..." she laughed..softly fondling his erection....

"MYYYYYYYYYYYYYY GOODNESS! LOOK AT YOU WITH YOUR BIG OLE HARD SELF...OUUUUU!" she said and laughed..

"Ummmmmmm" Nelson Moaned silently...and took Beverly in his arms..

"You know I love you don't you?" he whispered in her ear...

"You'd better love me..all the nasty things I let you do to me.." she giggled..

He slipped her panties down and off and tossed them over by the hamper next to her bra.

Placed her petite body on the sink, spread her legs and entered her softly and slowly..

and thrusted inside of her soft , wet baby soft body...deep throat kissing her, both of them delirious...

"If I had had any idea of the nasty things you wanted to do to me when we were in the Public defenders office..." she said.

"You'd of run away." he laughed.

"Noooooooo, I'd of gave you some a whole lot sooner.." she said in all seriousnes..

"I never knew you were so ,so huge and so hard and so damn good in bed..."said Beverly....

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMPH, well you know it now.."said Nelson.

"I sure do....OUUUUUUUUUUUUUU, WOUUUUUUUUUUUUU!YES I DOOOOO!" she cooed..

He lifted her up and carried her to the bedroom.. Thrusting away slowly..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU....UMMMMMMMMMM, OH MY GODDDDD!" she screamed out....

Her scream went through the vent and woke Olivia up..

"My neice is so loud...Nelson must really be puttin it to her." she giggled..

I pulled her down to me..

"So why don't you put it on me?" I asked..

"I thought I did.." she laughed...

I reached under her night shirt...and slipped her panties off again.. and hurled them into a corner with her bra.

"SOME MOREEEE!" I said..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU, MYYY GOODNESS!" cooed Olivia.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU OHHHHHH MY GOD YOU ARE INSATIABLE!!! !!!!!she cooed...

"AWWWWWWWWWWWW LAWWWWD!" I moaned..

Olivia spread her legs wide open and eased herself down on me again..

She straddled me and began moving up and down on me again..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!! WEEEEEEEEEEEE! OUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she moaned....

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I moaned...

We sat on the side of the bed , Olivia riding me and staring into my eyes and me running my hands into her hair...

"OHHHHHHH MY GODDD!! YOU ARE SCREWING MY BRAINS OUT!" Olivia screamed..

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH OLIVIA...." I moaned as we made sweet love.....for the second time.

While downstairs... Nelson and Beverly were in the throes of passion in their bed..

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMPH!"moaned Nelson..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" moaned Beverly....

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH..AHHHHHHHHHHHH!"moaned Nelson as they kissed passionately.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" cooed Beverly....

"UMMMMMMM...OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH GIRRRRRRRRRL!" moaned Nelson...

"OHHHHHHHHH MY GOD!! HUSSSSBAND!! UMMMMMMMMMM"cooed Nelson

making mad, passionate love for the next EIGHT TO NINE HOURS!

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUU, WOUUUUUUUUUUUUU!"moaned Beverly loudly..

"AWWWWWWWWWWWW, UMMMMMMMMM,OUUUUUUUUU GIRRRRRRL!" Nelson howled.

He came so hard, he thought he might be dying... Beverly also had an intense orgasm...that left her shaking and crying a little bit....

Beverly snuggled up under her husband....She was good and relaxed...She lie peacefully on top of  Nelson and soon was, sleeping like a baby...Nelson ,like me had a wide grin on his face as he held her and rubbed her butt.

And a world away in Honolulu...

"Have you talked to Olivia at all since we've been here?" asked Judge Thelma Harper as she and Deke walked through the streets of Honolulu.

"I called once...They've been up to the prison to visit him, took him food and they've all been busy doing research and picking jurors and interviewing possible suspects...They're on it."said Deke.. "Which is why I picked them." he said with a smile.

"I've seen them in court...They are really good...Always well prepared..Never needing a continuance...Always so well versed in the law...They were truly a joy to watch...Yvette's people are very good too!" said Judge Thelma Harper.

"I was in law school with both Olivia and Yvette....I saw ,even back then their potential...They both are mentoring young attorneys and training them well....I was surprised that Yvette made partner before me.. but not surprised that Olivia started her own practice... It was something she talked about as far back as when she was a Public Defender." said Deke.

''What do you plan for yourself Deke? Olivia has her own firm, her own attorneys, investigator and Office manager....Yvette is partner and has her own attorneys  ,office manager and investigator.

You need some young attorneys to mentor...You need an investigator....If they haven't made you a partner within a year, you need to consider branching out on your own....I can help you."said Thelma.

Deke turned to Thelma...

He kissed her..

passionately...
