VENTURES

COURTROOM A-

This was a different type of trial for us...It wasn't a murder trial...We were representing a young woman who had taken her supervisor to court for harrassment...Not sexual harrassment but job harrassment..She had accused her supervisor of trying to have her fired from her job at Amalgamated Securities Inc.

We had been arguing the case of Laney Talley for the past week..

"Ms Talley was continuously harassed by her supervisor, Marsha Spaeth for a period of six months because her plan was to get rid of her so she could bring in one of her friends.." said Olivia.

Our client, Laney Talley smiled...

"This supervisor, Marsha Spaeth came to work in Ms. Talley's department and within months, 26 people, 26 people found working under her so unbearable they resigned and or transferred to other departments." said Beverly.

"We have had these 26 people testify here.... The department Ms.Spaeth worked at prior to this department had a party celebrating her leaving, that's how much they hated working under her." said Nelson, who had had these former employees testify.

"My Boss's husband is a very good investigator..... He planted operatives inside of the office and he investigated every single one of the things Ms. Talley was written up for.... Every single one of these offenses were made up..."said Josie.

"Of the 26 people who resigned or transferred out of the department, 15 were replaced by close friends or associates of Ms. Marsha Spaeth....This kind of corruption should not exist...

I sat with My wife, Olivia ,her niece Beverly and the rest of the team and I smiled...

Marsha Spaeth sat contritely at the second table...

Her Attorney, Our old adversary Veronica Slipp, formerly of Slip ,Skip and Tripp insurance company, now in private practice was railing about how all of our evidence was hearsay...None of it based on facts.

Olivia countered with...

"But so much Hearsay, so many people, people who don't know each other, saying the same thing, come on now!" she said and rested her case..

The Jury, made up of 9 people who worked in offices and understood office politics understood the conditions, understood what it was like working for an overbearing supervisor with a god complex like

Monica Spaeth who lived to make people's lives miserable...

We sat in the waiting area sipping our coffees..

"I thank you soo much for representing me...I was so stressed out, so tired of getting up going to work everyday under that harpie....I decided to do what no one else had dared do..Rather than run from her, resign or transfer to another department to take it to her, to make her feel the fear and loathing I and everybody else has faced under her.. Even if we lose and I lose my job it was worth it , to make her sweat.." said Laney Talley.

"Laney you're not going to lose and if by some chance you do...We are going to appeal."said Olivia.

"We've been through five trials with one client...4 Hung Juries before we got an acquittal in the fifth trial. We can hang with you...This case is nothing like that." I said, talking about a recent murder trial we were involved in.

Beverly put her arms around Laney Talley...

"We weren't going to abandon you....My Grandmother and your mother were great friends and I remember Your Mother used to watch me and Kayla some days when Auntay and Mom Mom were out of the house and we always had such great times." said Beverly..

''And all three of you became Attorneys...My Mom was so proud of you three...."said Laney...

"We were only too glad to help you Ms. Talley..." said Nelson.

"Soon to be Mrs. Allen...I'm getting married soon..." said Laney Talley..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUU CONGRATULATIONS!" said Olivia, hugging her..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUU CONGRATULATIONS!"said Beverly ,hugging her..

"CONGRATULATIONS!" said Josie, who also hugged her.

"CONGRATULATIONS!" said Bresha.

Monica Spaeth watched us from a distance..

"They act like they've already won this case.....If they lose....She's fired on the spot and I'm going to sue the panties off of her..." she said.

"Just be cool..."said Attorney Veronica Tripp who wanted a victory over us...She was still angry about us besting her in her attempt to sue ADA Monique Raye.

"The Jury has come to a decision...Everybody back in the courtroom " said the Bailiff.

"WOW THAT WAS QUICK...IT WASN'T THIRTY MINUTES!" said Nelson.

"I'm not surprised." said Olivia as we piled back into the courtroom...

"ALL RISE FOR JUDGE JERRY CARTER!" said the Bailiff.

Judge Jerry Carter was the Judge we usually tried cases against in Night Court...This was one of the rare times he was hearing a daytime case.

"Has the Jury come to a decision?" he asked

"Yes we have your honor." said the Jury Foreman. She gave the verdict to the bailiff who gave it to the judge.

He read it and smiled...He then passed it to the bailiff. "Read it." he said.

"We the jury rule in favor of the plaintiff, Ms. Laney Talley and we award her 4.5 million dollars as a result..

Olivia and Beverly leaped into the air and high fived each other..

"WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" they exclaimed...

"Come here, give mama some sugar!" said Olivia ,taking me into her arms and kissing me..

"With pleasure." I said as we kissed passionately..

"You too...Come here." said Beverly ,motioning to Nelson..

"Awwwwww Lawwd!" moaned Nelson as the two of them kissed passionately.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU LOOK AT ALL THIS LOVING!" said a victorious Laney Talley.

"This is customary after a win." said Josie.

"Yeah, let's the three of us walk over to Sam Mother's Diner.." said Bresha.

"I'm going to appeal for a lower payout....4.5 Million is a bit much....Of course the company will pay it out...You don't have to worry." said Veronica Tripp.

"WHAT KIND OF LAWYER ARE YOU? YOU'RE THE WORST...YOU'RE FIRED! I'M GETTING ANOTHER ATTORNEY!" snarled an angry and disappointed Marsha Spaeth..

"WELLLLLL...I NEVER!" said Attorney Veronica Tripp.

II-

We had a good old fashioned breakfast....Shrimp and Grits, Cheese Grits and Shrimp and Grits Louisiana Style.

''Are you from Louisiana Laney or do you have any people from Louisiana?" I asked.

"I was born and raised here in Philly, but my daddy was from Baton Rouge... When he married my mama, his mother taught her how to cook all of his favorite meals, so we had an appreciation for Louisiana cuisine.." said Laney.

"Donnie Ray is from New Orleans and after I married him, his sister taught me how to cook all of his favorites too and I kind of have an appreciation for New Orleans or Louisiana Cuisine..So we have that in common Laney." said Olivia.

"So Laney what's in your future? You know you can't go back to that job after what you did to that harpie?" said Beverly.

"I plan to resign, first thing Monday morning, I'll have enough Money to hold me until I find something else." laughed Laney..

"You'll have 4.5 million dollars to play with, I think that'll more than hold you."laughed Nelson..

"You think?" said Laney....

We all laughed loudly.....

"Our cut is not so bad either, $250,000.00 a piece...after taxes."laughed Olivia.

"We all did well." I said.

"You think her lawyer will appeal?" said Beverly...

"She'll try , but she won't get anywhere...We locked our case down pretty solid." said Nelson.

"She better be glad her company is paying our settlement and not her personally." said Josie.

"I'll bet her company will be taking a hard look at her after this case...It was pretty embarrassing, all of the things that came out...All of the times complaints against her were sworn out and HR did nothing."said Bresha.

"A number of heads are going to roll behind this."laughed Laney Talley as we enjoyed our late breakfast.

That afternoon at the Offices of Amalgamated Securities- 4:45 pm.

THE OFFICE OF MONICA SPAETH-

John Whitten, the Deputy Director walked into the office of Monica Spaeth.. The Office had been eerily quiet all day...

"Hello Mr. Whitten." said Monica Spaeth...

''We had a rough day yesterday...We lost that defamation and harrassment case yesterday. The Compnay has to shell out 4.5 million dollars.." he said.

"I know Mr. Whitten and I'm sorry...I plan to fire Ms. Talley as soon as she comes in...She didn't come in to work today." said Marsha Spaeth.

''She resigned the day before the jury ruled in your case...The thing is...I just met with the Board of Directors.... They just terminated half of the Human Resources staff behind this and THEY WANT YOU GONE AS WELL!!" he said.

"You can't be serious....They want ME GONE? Wait a minute....I was going to get another attorney, we were going to plead for a lower settlement...please..." she said.

"The decision has been made... They fired half of the human resources staff and those 15 close friends of yours who replaced those people who resigned or transferred...They've been fired too....and now they want you gone as a show of good faith....They've already paid out the 4.5 million...I'm sorry Marsha, pack your things....and turn in your passcode keys this afternoon... I'm sorry." said John Whitten as he walked out of her office.

"WELLLLLL THAT CUTS IT!! I'VE BEEN FIRED....I DON'T BELIEVE IT!" she said, as red as a beet....

She began packing her things , neatly in two little boxes....She called Uber....

She looked up...

"What are you doing here???....Did you get canned too?" she asked..

The person pulled out a gun with a silencer...

"Hey, what are you doin? Heyyyyyy" she screamed...

Two shots were fired.....One went right between her eyes and out the back of her head, killing her instantly and the other into her chest, pulverizing her heart...

Her lifeless body slumped over in her chair....

Today was not her day..

III-

TENDER IS THE NIGHT!!

We were at home after a victorious day in court...

"UMMMMMMMMMMMM OH MY GODDDD OLIVIA!" I moaned.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU DONNIE RAY!" she moaned as we lay across the bed kissing.

Olivia is a very sensual woman....Her prim,prissy and professional appearance aside...behind closed doors, she was a completely different woman...We lie across the bed ,kissing like two horny teenagers.

As I've said before...When she is angry or worried...We have the best sex....She wasn't angry tonight at all. She was happy...We had won a big settlement in court for a family friend..

"Juries are funny" she always said... "You think they are going one way and they surprise you. I wasn't surprised at all the way they ruled... Nelson did a great job picking that jury as he always does." she said.

"Yes he did a great job...and let's not forget Beverly, Josie and Bree, they took apart Ms. Tripp's witnesses like surgeons...and they brought up predicates and like laws and the works just like you taught them"I said.

Olivia's mood tonight also boded well for me in the bedroom...

Olivia's panties and bra slipped off the minute she entered our bedroom., so did my trousers ,boxers and shirt...

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.." I moaned.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU" she cooed, softly caressing my erect penis.

as we headed straight for the bedroom...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Donnie Ray, Give it to me Daddy....Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..I don't want to talk about the trial anymore." she moaned.

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu yes baby! I don't either..." I moaned as she moved up and down on my rock hard penis...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu don't stop...ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.." she moaned....

"Ohhhhhhhhhhh, Ohhhhhhhhh baby....Ouuuuu,easy Donnie Ray...ouuuuu" she moaned...as she lowered herself down on me...She was wet and warm...She felt so good.

"Damnnnnnnnnnnnn gurlllllll.ohhhhhhhh, you feel so good." I moaned... as I thrusted faster and faster inside of her....She was so round, so soft, so warm....

"I told you I'd give you more tomorrow....Now here we are." she said.

"Yes, here we are." I said....

She wrapped her legs around me so she could take all of me in and I continued....as she moaned and groaned...We slowed it down some and got into a slow rhythm...

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...ouuuuuu, you're as hard as an iron pipe..ouuuuuuu.." she cooed as she moved up and down...up and down...

I spread her legs open and entered her again......She was warm and wet...very wet...It was the best feeling ever.

"Ouuuuu,ummmmm, I love you so much Donnie Ray." she moaned.. as I humped her over the bed...

"I love you too Olivia..."I moaned..nearly out of breath as we continued to make sweet love...

EIGHT TO NINE HOURS of sweet and intense lovemaking went by....

She laughed and then tossed her head back...moaning softly...Her body quivering softly....Her breathing getting heavy...

"Ohhhhh...Ohhh my god Donnie Ray...Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.."she moaned...

"Ouuuuuuu...Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Olivia....Ohhh my goddd.."I moaned as she moved up and down on me...

TWO MORE HOURS of sweet lovemaking followed...We were both enjoying ourselves immensely.....

Olivia riding me softly and slowly and me nearly losing my mind....

Olivia was sweating profusely and laughing one minute and crying the next....She began to climax slowly,intensely...her body shaking and she smiling the sweetest smile I had ever seen....

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm...ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu....Donnie Ray baby, , .Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuu Yessssssssssssss..." she said as she moved up and down and kissed me softly..

"OHHHHHHHHHHH baby.Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my godd!"I said..

"Take as much as you want!.." she said..

ANOTHER HOUR slipped by and I began to cum like a river...

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..."I moaned, shaking.....

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuu,That's my guy..ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...That's my guyyyyyyy" she moaned as she herself began to climax...She held me tightly and continued to kiss me as she came and came hard...

She kissed me softly as I continued to cum like a river....

"I am so grateful for you Donnie Ray..." she said, as tears ran down her face....

''I'm grateful for you too, Olivia." I said as she lie on top of me and softly drifted off to sleep....

And a floor below us in another room....

Beverly and Nelson were standing in the middle of the floor kissing passionately.......

Beverly's Bra and panties were already off and hanging on the wicker chair in the hallway....

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuu Nelson......ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu baby, I need you inside of me....." she moaned...

"Girl, I can't wait..." he said as he led her to the bed....They didn't bother to uncover the sheets....

Nelson was gentle with Beverly.....He softly kissed her navel and her breasts and her eyelids and her earlobes and eventually worked his way to her sweet lips...

By the time he did enter her warm and moist center, she was near the point of climax......

Nelson entered her softly and gently and began to stroke her softly and slowly....She moaned and put her arms around his neck and drew him closer to her..She wrapped her legs around his waste and they began to move in a slow, yet deliberate rhythm for quite some time...She held him tight as if she never wanted to let go...She was so soft...so moist and smelled so good...Nelson was losing his mind slowly....while continuing to stroke her masterfully....Beverly's body began to tremble something crazy...

, her head turned from side to side...tears streamed down her face.....

'UMMMMMMMM...OUUUUUUUUUUUU YOU LOOK SO HAPPY....YOU'RE ENJOYING ME A LOT AREN'T YOU?" she asked...

He hugged her...

"I AM SOOO ENJOYING YOUUUU!" he moaned softly...

She laughed...

"I AM ENJOYING YOU TOOO!! OUUUUUUU!" she cooed. Once again...her body began to tremble something crazy... , her head turned from side to side...tears streamed down her face.....she was having another orgasm....

Nelson and Beverly made sweet and slow passionate and intense love for EIGHT TO NINE HOURS straight.... She felt as though she was climaxing several times....then in a huge wave....Nelson climaxed furiously and hard....not yelling , but shaking mightily.....then taking a deep breath and collapsing on top of Beverly....drenched in sweat....

She looked up at him and gave him a juicy and wet kiss....

He surprisingly felt himself getting hard again...and began to move slowly inside and out of her....

"Ohhhhhhhh My goodness...OUUUUUUUUUUU! NELSONNNNNNN! Again?? OHHH MY Godddd!" she yelled out...

"YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!" He moaned....

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM, OUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she cooed softly.

They made sweet love for at least another TWO HOURS AND A HALF!...Beverly could see how much Nelson was thoroughly enjoying this experience....She was enjoying it too!

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...I'm cumming...I'm cumming..Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" she said and began to shake and gyrate and turn her head from side to side....Crying like a little girl and sweating profusely....She couldn't believe how good she was feeling at the moment..

Nelson was one of maybe two other lovers she had had , who could make her cum like this...

He began cumming like a gusher....and shaking....

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" he moaned...

"Oh yes Nelson..Yes....Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...niceeee...ummmmm." she moaned,

kissing him as he continued to cum like a gusher...

''Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu that felt gooood, OUUUUUUUU" she whispered...

Nelson agreed , he was breathing heavily....His breathing soon got softer and he drifted off to sleep.

Beverly shook her head...That was okay...He had earned it...He put in some work tonight! she reasoned...

She put his arms around her and rested her head in the crook of his arms...He hugged her tightly...She smiled..

The next morning-

"White female, 47 years only...death looks like is was by two gunshot wounds.... " said a CSI man as photos of the lifeless body of Monica Spaeth were taken...

"Her name was Monica Spaeth....She lost a court case yesterday which cost her company a cool 4.5 million... She got fired as a result." said One Detective.

"WOW! Not her day today was it? Loses a court case, fired from her job and murdered..Damnnnn!"said Another Detective.

"Body temperature indicates she was killed around 5:15-5:20 yesterday afternoon... The Air conditioning being on in here has kept rigor from setting in.."said Dr. Hazel Baylor, Deputy

Coroner.

'She was shot at close range with two .22 shells." said Dr. Marcy Martin, Deputy Coroner..

"I understand, a lot of people got fired yesterday in wake of her courtroom loss...Half of Human Resources, 16 people she had just hired and the company had to shell out 4.5 million....Ouuuuuu not her day....and a lot of people with motives to kill her." said Lt. Tragg...

"Bag her and tag her and get her out of here." he said. "Ladies , get me that autopsy report asap!" he said.

"He called us ladies , not girls! " whispered Marcy....

"How about that?" giggled Hazel.

The Body of Monica Spaeth was put in a white body bag and strapped to a gurney. She was rolled out of the office..

"Interview everybody in this building, especially on this floor....and get a guy on the street cams , the business cams across the street and the cameras in the lobby." said Lt. Tragg.

IV-

THAT AFTERNOON-

We were all having dinner that night at our home..

''Every thing is delicious Aunt Olivia, Aunt Alfreda.." said Daniel Bristol.

"Yes everything is delicious." said his girlfriend, Alexa Pratt..

"Well thank you Nephew." said Olivia.

"Thank you Nephew" chuckled Alfreda... She had been adopted by so many of our friends as an Auntie and a second mother...It made her feel good.

I smiled...

"I'm her only real baby." said Beverly joking...

"Awwwww you jealous???...You're my only baby." said Nelson, hugging her..

''Awwww you're so sweet!" said Beverly,

giving Nelson a sweet kiss..

"Awwww that's so sweet." said Josie, smiling.

"Speaking of sweet could you pass me a glass of sweet tea?" asked her husband, Paris.

Bresha giggled.

"The laugh of the conquering heroes."laughed her husband, Tony...

"Yeah they won that case in record time, what was it , Three days?" asked Alfreda.

"Yeah Three days "said her husband Rockland as he chowed down...It was so nice he thought, having a wife and good friends and enjoying a home cooked meal almost every night.
