Last Rights

THURSDAY NIGHT- CURLEY'S BAR- COUPLES NIGHT-
 

"I miss Natalie, David, Brooke and Sean...I guess they are eating the last meal with Darlene Butts at this moment at the prison." said Natalie.
 

"Yeah, I wonder what she's having?" asked Dabnis.

"The Average last meal is usually a Cheeseburger, Fries and a Coke."said Kayla.

"Yeah for the mediocre...but if it was me...I'd pick Lobster and Steak...."laughed Ray...

"Yeah you would...I would have Tacos and Churros..." said Jessica.

"I'm with Ray, Steak and Lobster for me.."laughed Ray...

"I'd be nervous, I don't think I'd be interested in eating at all." said Karen...

"WHATTTTT? I'd be famished and make them pay for it..They're taking my life after all." said her husband, B.L.

Serendipity laughed out loud....

"I'm with B.L."laughed her boyfriend, Kevin.

"I don't think I'd want to be in Natalie and Brooke's place...I mean after all they prosecuted her." said Natika.

"I remember...I put them on that case and after Darlene Betts was convicted and sentenced to death they felt terrible about it...They went to Judge Baines and begged for leniency. They had put a deal on the table for Life without parole, she refused it and went to trial, got convicted and sentenced to death...They really felt bad about the way that turned out...They were in tears..." said Deputy District Attorney Lester Burke.

"She decapitated someone...That was a horrible crime!!...I don't feel too much sympathy for her.." said Monique Raye..

"I agree, but I would have felt bad sending an 18 year old to her death." said newly minted Judge Rodger Cockrill.

"How Old is she now?" asked Zoey...

"Twenty Nine or Thirty." said Lem.

"Wow...Thirty....And she did this when she was 18....I'm sure she's not the same person she was then." said  Renee.

"Did you know when she was 25, she strangled or tried to strangle another inmate...She went on trial and was convicted and got an additional 25 years." said Tyrell.

"Oh My God!!  She is a Monster!! A Psychopath!" said Lee.

"Pretty much!" said her husband, Matthew.

"Well the die is cast...No pun intended...In a few hours she'll be having her appointment with destiny."said Nina..

"You have such a way with words." laughed her husband, Carlos.

The Drinks Arrived.... 

"I wouldn't trade places with Natalie and Brooke for anything in the world." said Olivia.

 

" Have you ever been to an execution?" Donnie Ray asked Olivia.

" No...and I hope I don't have to go to one either.... I'm a Defense Attorney, I've saved people from execution." said Olivia.

"Same Here Aunt Olivia...That's why I'm a Defense Attorney." said Danny Bristol.

" Same here." said Alexa Pratt.

"I've never had to attend one either and I'm like Auntay...I don't want to attend one either." said Beverly.

"I'm going to be sure to talk to Natalie, Brookie, David and Sean when they return about their experience." said Nelson.

"They've been to one before...but this is the first time it is someone they know." said Josie.

"Someone they actually prosecuted." said Paris.

"That's got to feel some kind of way.."said Bresha.

"I personally wouldn't attend it...I'm sorry." said her husband, Tony.

"WOW!  I can't imagine how they must feel...I can't wait to talk to Virginia when they come back tomorrow." said Alfreda.

"Yeah me too!" said Rockland..

Toni Robinson was sitting on her boyfriend's lap...Not involved in the conversations concerning what was going on at the prison right now.

Eric Sellers ,who had recently passed the bar was basking in the glory of being an Attorney..

More drinks arrived., 

 "I haven't heard from Virginia...but then I wouldn't...They're probably having dinner now."said Yvette.

She was sitting on her husband, Gary's Lap...

"I've never been to an execution....but I know you guys have." said Gary.

"Yeah, one...I tried hard to stop it.."said Keith Jones..

"And it was someone we knew personally....Sofia and me." said Bee Bee.

"He was a Born Loser and malcontent...but still , he was someone from the neighborhood, Someone we knew." said Sofia.

"Yeah...a neighborhood guy...At least Brooke and Natalie didn't grow up with this girl."said Kahlil.

"They prosecuted her...and became friends with her after the conviction."said Jade.

"The Stuff Movies of the week are made of." said her husband, Danny...

"Virginia knew her when they were both incarcerated...She taught her how to read, helped her get her G.E.D."explained Jetty..

It was a weird night....

II-

The Prison had a nice cafeteria....

''Darlene is your mother coming?" asked Natalie.

"Nah, she's too squeamish for this type of thing... She has sent the undertaker to pick my body up after uh it's over." said Darlene.

This was a weird conversation I thought...One that made me sad....

From the look on her face, I could tell that Brooke felt the same way....With the exception of Ms. Virginia, none of us had been her friends in life...Yet here we were spending her last hour on Earth with her..

"It's uh Thursday Night....I imagine the gang is all at Curleys huh?" said Sean, attempting to lighten up the mood.

"Yeah...I wonder if my husband came out tonight...I told him to go on and have a good time."said Virginia.

"Tomorrow is Friday...You'll be with him then." said Rufus McCain who was eating with us.

Darlene Betts asked for a meal she could never afford when she was on the outside..

New York Strip Steak...A Baked Potato and Lobster for her last meal...

Thanks to her we all got to feast on her meal... It was a great last meal.. We all chowed down.

We washed it all down with Cokes...

There wasn't much conversation.....What was there to talk about?  Our host was going to be dead in an hour...She had accepted her fate...So had we..

III-

Darlene conferred with a Catholic Priest and was given her final communion....Then with the Warden

The Priest and 12 armed guards.....

Darlene was walked down the "Last Mile.." past the row of cells consisting of condemned prisoners, all males..

Only one prisoner was making any noise...

Former Judge James Smith...

convicted of four murders and scheduled to die next...

"I DON'T WANNA DIEEEE....ARGHHHHHHHHHH I DON'T WANNA DIEEEEE!!!! LAWD HAVE MERCY! I DON'T WANNA DIEEEEEEE!" he screamed....

The once powerful Judge had been reduced to madness since his multiple convictions for murder..

We all were seated in the small room on the other side of the death chamber...

"It's so cold in here." said Virginia.

Rufus put his arms around her and held her....

Natalie was stoic...

I put my arms around her..

Tears flowed down Brooke's face....

Sean put his arms around her and held her tight...

The Sister of the young woman, Cindy Hayes who Darlene murdered was here also... She had no idea who we were or why we were there. She was here to see Justice done!

Darlene was strapped to the table...She turned her head so that she could see all of us...she managed a smile.

And the IV's were placed in her veins...

She was asked if she had anything to say...Any Last words.... She shook her head to signal no, she didn't...

The first chemicals flowed through her veins....And within minutes, she was sound asleep, even snoring a little bit..

The second chemicals flowed through her veins...paralyzing her organs, including her lungs, making it impossible to breathe...

and the final chemicals flowed through her veins, stopping her heart...

In all it took about ten minutes....  She was Dead!

After the doctor pronounced her dead...She was put in a white body bag and strapped to a  gurney....

A hearse from whatever funeral home her mother had contacted picked the body up and pulled off !

"WOW!  DARLENE will get back to Philly before we do." I said.

Rufus McCain, Virginia ,Natalie and Sean all laughed...

But Brooke didn't...She just stood silently...staring at the Hearse as it pulled off...She was engulfed with sadness...Thinking about a life wasted.

IV-

NIGHTFALL CAME-

Olivia's mini bus picked the five of us up and drove us home.

When we got home..

I went to the refrigerator....I grabbed a bottled water.

The cold water felt good running down my throat, some of it running down my neck.....

Natalie was in the bathroom.

"DAVID!  COME HERE!" called Natalie from the bathroom.....

I walked in.... Natalie was semi undressed...

She took me in her arms and kissed me passionately for a few minutes.....

"UMMMMMMMMMMMM I LOVE YOU!" she said.

"I'M GLAD YOU DO! I LOVE YOU TOO!" I said.

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

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" I moaned..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU" she cooed.

"GIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRL, I like these, they're so  sexy" I said..

"You think everything I wear is sexy!" she whispered..

"AWWWWWWWW LAWWWD, I KNOW I DO  These really turn me on...!!" I said.

"YOU'RE TURNED ON PERIOD!" said Natalie ,laughing.

I lifted her off the floor and entered her slowly, softly...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU   YOU ARE SO DAMN BIG ,UMMMMMM AND HARD!OHHHHHHHHH MYYYYYY!" she cried out..

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH  YOU ARE MY SWEEET GIRRRRRL" I moaned..

I placed her on the sink ,spread her legs and entered her again....thrusting slowly and kissing her...

"UMMMMMMMMMMPH!" I moaned..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU DAVID!" she cried out....

"OH MY GOD NATALIE JEAN!" I moaned.

I lifted her up again, long stroking her to the bedroom...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU DAVID! OHHHH MY GODDDDD!"  Natalie screamed out...her body trembling, her head moving from side to side and tears flowing down the sides of her face..She was having a very quick orgasm.....

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM GET IT BABY!" Natalie screamed out...her body trembling, her head moving from side to side and tears flowing down the sides of her face....as she eased down on me...Her body was trembling even more now....

"GET IT BABY!"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!" she moaned...
Sitting on the side of the bed , while she moved up and down on me...

"UMMMMMMMMMMPH! OH MY DAMNNNNN!" I moaned..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU DAVID! OUUUUUUUUUU!" she cried out....

"OH MY GOD NATALIE JEAN! NATALIE JEAN....NATALIE JEAN..AWWWWWW LAWWWWD!" I moaned.

"UMMMMMMMMMMPH! GIRL THIS IS TOO GOOD!" I moaned..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU DAVID!" she cried out....

"OH MY GOD NATALIE JEAN!" I moaned.

"I LIKE THAT YOU CALL ME BY MY GOVERNMENT NAME.....OUUUUUUUUUUU I ONLY LIKE MY FULL NAME WHEN YOU'RE SAYING IT!" she moaned.

"OH MY GOD NATALIE JEAN!" I moaned.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU DAVID! DAVID!!!! OUUUUUUUUUU!" she cried out....Natalie screamed out...her body trembling, her head moving from side to side and tears flowing down the sides of her face....

We lie on the bed kissing each other like kissing was going out of style..

I turned her over and entered her missionary style...

"OH NATALIE, THIS HAS GOT TO BE A DREAM.." I yelled out..

"THEN I'M DREAMING TOO! OUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she screamed out....

"AWWWWWWWWWW LAWWWWWWWWWD!" I moaned..

"OUUUUUUUUUU DAVID!" she said as she had another intense orgasm, her body trembling, her head turning from side to side,tears flowing down her cheeks...

She opened her legs wide and allowed me full access, while wrapping her arms around my neck..

"UMMMMMMMMMMPH! GIRL THIS IS TOO GOOD!" I moaned..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU DAVID! IS IT REALLY?" she cried out....

"OH MY GOD NATALIE JEAN! YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!! I WAITED ALL DAY TO DO THIS!!" I moaned.

"I KNOW....I KNOW YOU DID!!" she screamed out!

"UMMMMMMMMMMPH! GIRL THIS IS TOO GOOD!" I moaned..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU DAVID!I'M GLAD!!! OUUUUUUUU YOU'RE GOOD TOO!! OUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she cried out....

"OH MY GOD NATALIE JEAN!" I moaned.

We made love for the next NINE TO TEN HOURS!

"Ouuuuuuu I love you." I said with Natalie resting on top of me..

"I love you too!" she said as she dozed off into a peaceful and deep sleep.

While Next Door-

"What day!  I'm glad it's over."said Brooke.

"I could see it was uncomfortable for you." said Sean, smiling.

"You're right . It was very uncomfortable." said Brooke.

"Well, let me uh try to make you more comfortable. "said Sean.

"Yes, please." said Brooke.

They began kissing....

He slipped her panties down slowly...

"OH MY GOD BROOKE!!! YOU ARE JUST TRYING TO DRIVE ME OUT OF MY MINDDD!" he said.

"Oh Hush up!!!" she laughed.

Sean spread Brooke's legs and entered her slowly.... She was wet and warm and smelled good... He was delirious...

OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!! WOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she cooed.

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! LAWDDDDDDDDDDDDD! BROOKE!" he moaned...

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MYYYYYYY GODDDDDD!! OUUUUUUUUUUU
WOUUUUUUUUU! CHOCOLATE DADDDDDDYYYYY!!!" she screamed. Tears flowed down her cheeks!

Her body trembled and she had a quick almost embarrassing orgasm...

"OUUUUUUUUUUU WOUUUUUUUUU! CHOCOLATE DADDDDDDYYYYY!!!" she screamed again...

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW BROOKE, MY SWEET VANILLA!!" He moaned.

The bed squeaked loudly and the headboard rattled....

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU CHOCOLATE DADDY!!" she moaned.

She had another orgasm and then another orgasm after that, which really made her body tremble....

"WOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" She screamed out..

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HUSBAND!  OUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she moaned.

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM he moaned loudly...

They made love for the next  TEN TO ELEVEN HOURS!

"Chocolate Daddy ,I'm about to cummm.... OUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!"she cried out...

"OHHHHHHHHHHH BROOKIE... SO AM I.... AWWWWW LAWWWWWD!" he yelled out.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU CHOCOLATE DADDY!!! UMMMMMMM THAT WAS SO GOOD!" she cooed..

"WOWWWWWWWWWWWW! You feeling better?" was all he could say... his eyes were glazed..

"OHHHH ZADDDY!  MUCH BETTER!" she said.

She lie on his chest.... His arms rubbing her butt...She smiled... She loved him so much...

The Day was over.... Tomorrow was Friday... A New day...

EPILOUGE-

Darryl Stephens, Darlene Betts Co-Defendent, who had been paroled and was now working for his Uncle's company agreed to an interview with B.L. on HARD BOTTOM after Darlene's execution.

He told B.L. that he hadn't thought about Darlene over the years and had worked to change his life after his imprisonment and release.. He was married now and had a baby on the way... He said she had written him , but he had never written her back...He said he tried not to think about that horrible murder that occurred so many years ago...

SATURDAY MORNING- 

We all met for breakfast at our favorite brunch spot, The NO ID BAR! Right across the street from where most of us worked.

It was good to be with our friends again..

"Nice to have you guys back!" said Jazzy.
 

"It was just a day, but we missed you guys." said Dabnis.

"We did...but none of us wanted to trade places with you." said Kayla.

Everybody laughed.

"We are laughing, but that's the truth." said her husband, Ray.

"I know Chip and I will be in your place eventually...We can use your insight." said Jessica.

"Not looking forward to that, but she's right." said her husband, Chip.

''We're just happy you guys are back and in one piece."said Karen.

"I interviewed her co-defendant, Daryl Stephens....It's as if none of this ever happened... He's working, got a wife and a baby on the way...He didn't want to talk about Darlene at all... Guess I can't blame him..He's so far awy from all of that." said B.L.

"I don't think I'm going to forget Darlene for a long time...I still dream about her some nights."said Natalie.

"Yeah, she has a way of sticking with you." I said.

"I hope her soul has found peace." said Brooke.

"I'm sure she has..." said Sean...

"Wowww! What an experience..."said Zoey...

"I have to tell you I don't envy you."said Lem.

"That crazy man, Judge James Smith is next on the State's Hit list..." said Renee.

"Oh wow!  I heard he's gone crazy in Stir." said Tyrell.

"Wow! You guys have some cases and meet some interesting people." said Toni Robinson.

"And for me, it's just beginning." said her boyfriend, Eric Sellers, newly minted Attorney.

"Ughhhhhhhhhh!" groaned Lee.

Her husband, Matthew just smiled...He knew our experience could his sooner or later.

"Ummmmmmmmm let's get our food while it's hot." said Nina.

"Yeah." said Carlos.

 

 "Nice to have you back Virginia." said Yvette, hugging her. Yvette had given Virginia the day off Friday!

"It's nice to be back..."laughed Virginia.

"Being back in prison didn't give you any flashbacks did it?" asked Gary.

"Nope...I was outside the walls, Outside the cells."laughed Virginia.

"Our girl is back and one piece.."laughed Keith Jones, hugging Virginia.

"We were concerned about you...the whole time you were gone." said Bee Bee.

"But you emerged intact...Like the strong woman you are..."said Sofia.

"Yes mam!  Like the Virginia we know and love." said Kahlil.

"Welcome back Virginia,." said Jade.

"She was only gone a day...You act like she was gone for a year or something."said Danny.

"It felt like it , being behind the wall again....I realized how time stops when you're locked up...It stops for you, but it moves on for everybody else on the outside." said Virginia.

Her husband Jetty hugged her and kissed her neck...

Daniel Bristol kissed Alexa on the neck...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuu...Stop it...you're getting me hot!"Alexa smiled and whispered 

"My Nephew loves him some you Alexa." laughed Olivia.

 

Donnie Ray placed a plate of Blueberry Pancakes in front of Olivia..

"Ummmmmm I'm full...I'm gonna sleep all the way on the bus ride to Bayside." said Beverly...

"Me too! I'm full."said her husband, Nelson..

"Natika, Serendipity and Monique are meeting us there....They drove in.." said Josie.

"They should of come and eaten breakfast first."said Paris.

"There is a big sale and they wanted to be in line when the stores open." said Bresha.

"I guess you girls aren't worried about it. huh?" said Tony.

"I know I'm not.." said Alfreda.

"That's nice." laughed her husband, Rockland... 

It was nice being with our friends again in warm surroundings...With no foreboding clouds over the horizons.
