Little Ironies

One Week after the Brutal "Marcus/Nelson Murders" as the press dubbed them.. 
 
Lt. Tragg made an arrest. He arrested Attorney Harvey Bailey, the partner of the dead attorney...Peter Marcus, his partner and his estranged wife, Felicia Nelson-Bailey.


"Really Lieutenant? Handcuffs....I'm not John Dillinger...I'm a respected Attorney." said Harvey Bailey,.


"Respected? 
I don't know about that counselor....Right now you're a suspect in a double murder." said Lt. Tragg.


As reporters and media people snapped photos...


"I am going to hire adequate legal counsel....I am Innocent...I can't wait to have my day in court to address these egregious charges." said Harvey Bailey, ever the performer to the press..


"You! Dummy up....Not another word out of you..." snarled Lt. Tragg, who smiled at the press and said..
''We have made an arrest in the Marcus /Nelson double homicide....A court of law will decide his fate." he said.


Within the next hour, Harvey Bailey found himself in the "Fishbowl" the nickname the detectives had for their interrogation room...His first time there as a defendent....


"MY GOD MAN, THIS ROOM SMELLS GHASTLY!!!.......MY GOOOODNESS!  PEEEEE YOUUU!"
snarled Harvey Bailey...


"The Smell of this room is not your concern.... Let's talk about the murders of your partner and your wife..." said Lt. Tragg.


"I'm exercising my right to remain silent.... I would like some coffee though and a phone so I can call an attorney to rep me..." said Harvey Bailey.


"OH WOULD YOU???? HAHAHAHA...THIS AINT THE WALDORF PAL.." laughed Lt. Tragg.

"It certainly doesn't smell like it....!" snarled Harvey Bailey.


"That's been taken care of Mr. Bailey...I have been hired to help with your defense." said Olivia Bennett-Alexander..


"I got them Harvey, they're the best Money could buy..." said Kyra...



"I know... I've heard of Olivia and her team and the big cases they've had over the years....Long time no see Olivia." said Harvey Bailey sheepishly...

He remembered how shoddily he had treated her and young Nelson East years ago..when they were young Public Defenders. 

 He was a little ashamed...She and Nelson had both grown into fine attorneys and were now about to defend him!!! Strange how things turn around... He hoped they didn't hold anything against him.

"Yes it has been a long time...Funny how things change....One day you're taking a case away from me and my associate and writing us off, and years later...Here we are about to defend you...Life is funny isn't it?" said Olivia.

"Touche Olivi!!!... I deserve that!! It really is funny, life's little ironies.... I see you are with your niece and Mr. East is still with you..." said Harvey.

Beverly was a young attorney, just starting out when he encountered Olivia years ago.
And Nelson, her right hand man was fresh out of law school himself.
"Yes... He's married to my niece !" said Olivia.



"OHHHHHH I See!  And you've added some additional pieces.." said Harvey.
"Yes, this is my husband, Donnie Ray Alexander, my principal investigator..
and additional attorneys, Josie Boyd and Bresha Billips." said Olivia,.



"A very formidable legal team. Nice group you have behind you." said Harvey Bailey.


"OH MY GOD!!!!...YOU GUYS LATCH ON TO ANY CASE THAT HAS THE LEAST BIT OF CONTROVERSY ATTACHED TO IT!" said an angry Lt. Tragg..
"We could say the same about you!" said Beverly quietly...


We didn't have to ask him to leave the room...He angrilly left the room and slammed the door.


"Give me a list of people who can vouch for your good charactor...Here write their names and addresses down on this piece of paper...Email Addresses, Phone number the works." said Olivia.


"For the arraignment....Right..Good thinking." said Harvey Bailey.

He began writing names, addresses, email addresses and phone numbers on a sheet of paper..  After he finished, he passed it to me...

"I suppose it's your job to run these people down." he said dryly to me.


I looked at him and smiled.

"I'll check their credibility out as well." I said.


"He's a good man!" said Harvey Bailey.


"Oh he is....In ways you'll never understand. We are not going to discuss anything regarding your case in here....Just sit tight and in two or three days you are going to be arraigned..."said Olivia.


"Good thinking....I like the way you guys operate..."said Harvey Bailey....

''We'll see you in a few." said Olivia. "Come on guys let's go." she said.







We all walked out of the room...


Harvey pulled Kyra to the side..

"They uh don't know who your father is do they?" he asked.

"No they don't!!!...There is no need for them to know... How was his case going?" asked Kyra.


"Both of you are out of your mind!!!....I went to four straight State Appellate Courts and argued his cases and they all turned me down flat...His four convictions stand...I was preparing to argue on his behalf in front of the State Supreme Court when I got arrested and charged with this....I've got to tell you.. His chances don't look good.. The Governor is getting ready to set an execution date soon.... I couldn't even get the death sentences reduced to life..."said Harvey Bailey...

"Well we are going to have to try harder... I'll do some more research in the meanwhile." said Kyra.


"Just get me out of this mess first before I wind up in a cell next to your father..." said Harvey Bailey.

"That's why I got the best money could buy to defend you....Now sit tight." said Kyra....as she left.


II-

Later...We were at home that afternoon.
In our bedroom...

Olivia sat at her laptop.

Olivia liked to know as much about her clients as possible- She sat in bed with her laptop and studied  Mr. Harvey Bailey.

  "He's a little younger than my father and he's been in this law game a lot longer than I have..." she whispered to me..

She closed her laptop and smiled at me sweetly....with her index finger, she beckoned me to her...



I smiled at her...

"Let's make love." I said.

"Ummmmmmmmmm let's." she whispered...



There was a full moon out tonight....
"You Ready for me?" Olivia asked me.


"I'm always ready for you."I smiled as I began to undress..

and watched her unsnap her bra and slip her panties off..


"I know you are." she laughed...


"You've been staring at me since you got home, like a hungry wolf..." laughed Olivia as she slipped out of her bra and panties..

I hurriedly undressed

Olivia gasped...Oh My God...DONNIE RAYY!!!....Ouuuuu...you are huge!!!.Did you get bigger? Myyyy lawddd!  OUUUUUUUU!!" she exclaimed...as I  began sucking on her breasts.....

I didn't answer...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh DONNIE RAY!....ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.." she moaned.

"You're going to split me in half with that huge thing..What am I going to do with all of that?" she joked..

"You'll be fine..Just forget about your problems..." I said.

"What problems ?" she asked and then giggled, Kissing me and running her soft hands over my now engorged penis...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUU LOOK AT THAT THING!! WOWWW!" she exclaimed.


I thrusted my tongue practically down her throat and while squeezing one breast with my hand... and I lifted her up and positioned her on me as I entered her and began thrusting away...

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY GOD, OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH OUUUUUUUUUUUUUU HOOO HOOO HOOO HOOO, OH MY GODDDD YOU ARE ALL UP IN THIS!!!! UMMMMMMM!!!!! YOU MAKE IT SOOO EASY TO FORGET ABOUT ...OUUUUUU, THE PROBLEMS OF THE DAY!!! OH MY GODDDDDD!!!!" she screamed as I continued to thrust , harder and feverishly more.....

A HALF HOUR slowly oozed by...I felt so good...I wasn't even close to stopping..


"Ouuuu husband you are doing the damn thing...UMMMMMM, put me down....." she said..


 I laid her across our bed , a few minutes later and I entered her softly and gently and began to stroke her softly and slowly....She moaned and put her arms around my neck and drew me closer to her..I kissed her neck, between her breasts, her cheeks....She continued to kiss my lips and my ears and my chest...

"Ohhh My God...I can't believe how good this  feels!" she moaned..

"Me neither!" I said.


She wrapped her legs around my waste and we began to move in a slow, yet deliberate rhythm for quite some time...She matched me thrust for thrust and even kissed my shoulder at one point...She was so soft...so moist and smelled so good...I was losing my mind....She was shaking and looking like she was on the verge of crying the entire time.......

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...OHHH MY GOODNESS...OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" she moaned loudly ,obviously not caring who heard us....

.



We made sweet passionate and intense love like this for EIGHT TO NINE HOURS.. Olivia began to shake and gyrate and tears began to stream down her face again....I was surprised at how passionate she still was ..

"It's sooooooooooooooo goooddd...Oh my godddddddddddddd it's soooooo gooood Oh my Goddd Donnie Ray....ohhhhh don't stoppp, don't stopp...don't ever stop...ouuuuuuuuuuuu" she screamed as I mounted her from behind in the bed...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! Ayeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, Ayeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..
OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!" she screamed...as she pounded her hands on the bed....

I came like a gusher....

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!" I moaned...

She smiled....Her mouth was wide open as she stared at me...



"Wow!  THAT WAS AWESOME...WOW! OUUU HUSBAND...YOU WERE JUST SHOWING OFF IN THIS BED!! MYYYY GOOODNESS! I DON'T BELIEVE YOU!!!! OUUUUUUUUUUU! I HOPE YOU ARE DOWN FOR MORE , BECAUSE I AM....OUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!" she exclaimed....

I smiled and gently felt her breasts...I gently kissed both of them....


She leaned over and kissed me again..

"OUUUUUUUUUU!" she moaned...

"OHHHHHHHHHHH!" I gasped...

She straddled me and opened her legs wide and eased herself down on me..

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM YOU WANT SOME MORE?  OUUUUUUUUU YOU WANT SOME MORE?? " she asked me softly...

"YESSSSSSSSSSS!" was all I could manage to get out...I was hard again!!!

"You were so..so intense....You made me cum like four times..OUUUUUUU!." she smiled..She was still shaking as she continued to kiss me...


She gave me a nice sloppy, wet kiss....I pulled her to me and kissed her too..She felt my still very hard and engorged penis...Her mouth opened wide..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!" she screamed.




"You make me hornier than any woman I've ever known"..I whispered...

"Ouuuuuuu...you just want some more..Flattery will get you everywhere, .."she laughed as we continued kissing and she mounted me ,easing down on me slowly again...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...UMMMMMMMMMMMM!" she moaned.....


"Oh My goodness!!!! DONNIE RAY!!!!  OUUUUUUUUU!" she replied smiling and slowly kissing me as I entered her again...She was so warm,so moist...so inviting..

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Donnie Ray...ohhhh my goddd!..Ouuuuuuuu..." she cried out...as the bed began to squeak....The headboard slammed against the wall....She stared at me almost in disbelief.....

Another TWO TO THREE HOURS of sweet and tender lovemaking continued....We were both going to be very tired tomorrow ...but neither of us cared at the moment...Not like we had to be anywhere at any time..

She began to blow softly in my ear ,in between soft , wet kisses..which turned me on even more...and within TWENTY MINUTES... I exploded like a gusher ...Holding her tightly....Her body shook a little too..Tears ran down the side of her face..her body began shaking and her head turned from side to side...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...myyy goodnessss..OUUUUUUUUU!!!! OHH MYY godddd! " she exclaimed...still shaking like a church woman testifying......

We continued to hold each other for a few minutes.
 ..

"You okay?" I asked...

"I'm just fine...wouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...ummmph...ummph..ummmph! YOU ARE SOMETHING ELSE!" she said, smiling serenely....

"SO ARE YOU!" I said ,out of breath...  

She smiled...Soon she was lying on top of me...She said she liked that position...

We both dozed into a nice peaceful and deep sleep!



And downstairs, 

\
Nelson and Beverly were staring deeply into each others eyes....



 Beverly motioned to her husband ,Nelson...

"Come here...Unzip my skirt..Take my clothes off" she said playfully...
"Ohhhh my god with pleasure....", Nelson exclaimed...He liked playing this game with her, slowly undressing her...

He unzipperd her skirt and she slipped her top off...His eyes nearly bulged out of his head...


Beverly giggled..She loved getting Nelson hot and horny...

He took his clothes off slowly and just stared at her
He gingerly unhooked her bra...


..Slipping her panties down and off..
She smothered him with wet ,sloppy kisses...Kisses that were driving him to near delirium!!!


"OH MY GODDDD NELSON, YOU ARE HUGE!!! I'M ABOUT TO GET IT, AINT I?" she giggled..

"YESSSSSSsss!" was all he could manage to say as she softly stroked him...

He entered her...She was wetter than usual...This was driving him to near delirium...

 Nelson got to do what he had been daydreaming about all day, make love to Beverly

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!" he moaned..

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…talk to me daddy, is it good?" she cooed softly as the bed began to squeak and the headboard began to rattle..

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..Ohhhhhh my goddddddd! YESSSSSSSSS!" he moaned...

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM! ZADDDDDDDY!"she moaned softly.....

 


"TALK TO ME BABY...DO YOU LOVE ME?" she asked. 

"YES!!! YES...OH YESSSSS YOU KNOW I DO!!"moaned NELSON..who didn't know if he was coming or going... 

"Because I LOVE YOUUUUU TOOO!!! OUUUUUUUUUUU!!! .I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! YOU DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND!" she cooed...and once again got emotional and began to cry as Nelson thrusted faster...

EIGHT TO NINE HOURS SLIPPED BY!



"You are just showing off...Just showing off in this bed...."she said..

"Ohhhhhhhhh you are driving me crazy.." he moaned...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! You like it zaddy?" she cooed loudly..

"Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssss…you know I do...Ohhhh lawdddd!" he moaned in his deep baritone..

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh NELSON….ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.I wish we had been doing this back when we were Public Defenders...Why didn't you tell me you were this huge and could do it to me this long?." she moaned playfully..

"I tried to tell you." he moaned, playing along..

"YES YOU DID....YES YOU DIDDDDD!" OH MY GODDDDDDD!! WOUUUUUUUUU!.YES YOU DIDDDDD!she moaned.. 

She had already had three or four very intense orgasms that left her in tears.....And Nelson as usual showed no signs of stopping..

She blew softly into his ear..and played in his hair...

THREE TO FOUR  MORE HOURS and a half went by before Nelson began to come with wild abandon as did Beverly.. holding on to him for dear life....


"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she moaned..both of her legs shaking and her head turning from side to side...she found herself getting emotional and crying again..
After a short pause, Nelson began to make love to Beverly again ,slowly, tenderly, kissing her cheeks and hugging her gently....Her eyes were as wide as saucers...She couldn't believe his energy...His level of excitement...

ANOTHER TWO HOURS drifted by in which she had another very intense orgasm.....and looked up at him in amazement...at both his stamina and his excitement..as he came like a river....



He found himself more satisfied than he had been in awhile... He turned over and lay on his back with a big grin on his face...

"Ummmmmmm stop looking so...so satisfied " she said.
But he was satisfied...He pinched himself...He was actually married to Beverly and making love to her on a regular basis...The stuff dreams had been made of..



Beverly wound up sleeping on top of Nelson....He softy rubbed her butt....

"I gave you enough tonight to last for the rest of the week." she said.

She and Nelson  Both laughed loudly before drifting off into a deep sleep.


III-

COURTROOM A- TUESDAY NIGHT, 8:30



NIGHT COURT-


Attorney, Now murder defendant ,Harvey Bailey laughed.

"That Olivia is a shrewd one...Night Court...This is an old trick I used to use to get my clients out..Everyone knows Night Court Judges are a little more lenient.. Well not everyone...If more lawyers knew it, More lawyers would use it ." he whispered to Kyra.

who sat next to him...



In Philadelphia, Night Court only operates two nights a week....Tuesday and Thursday, Tonight was Tuesday...and fortunately...We got an arraignment date of 8:30 pm. 


The Judge in this case would not be the Judge in the actual case....
Lt. Tragg was not there... He was probably snuggled up with Judge Kelly Ann at her loft...


"OUUUUUU ARTHUR!" she cooed..

"AWWWWW KELLY ANNNNEE!" he moaned..
"OUUUUUU ARTHUR!" she cooed..

As they lie on the bed, kissing like it was going out of style..

Night court was too low profile for him anyway....No witnesses...No media..and a bunch of  Judges  and ADA's who were mostly older Judges and ADA's about to retire...It was lightweight. It was in session from 7:00 pm- 10:00 pm Tuesdays and Thursdays...We were quite fortunate to get a date.



The ADA that did show up was not going to be the ADA that tried the case...He had only the basic out line of the case at hand... He basically wanted to go home...So he didn't really put up much of a fight.

Olivia argued that our client, Attorney Harvey Bailey was a respected officer of the court who had no prior criminal convictions and no history of violence..She argued eloquently that this was a rush to judgement and that he eagerly awaited his day in court to fight these unjust and totally ridiculous charges.






Beverly, Nelson, Josie and Bresha interviewed 12 witnesses a piece....a total of 48 charactor witnesses who testified to his sterling charactor...


And Olivia argued again that he was not a flight risk...


The Judge was impressed with their oral arguments....but because of the severity of the allegations against Harvey he had to set the bail at 1.5 million dollars..


Harvey balked but told the Bail Bondsman to pay it...


The Bail Bondsman only had to put up $250.000.00 dollars, a quarter of a million...


And Harvey Bailey walked out of court a free man.

"Olivia!  You all were excellent if I don't say so myself." he said, beaming.


"YOU GUYS WERE INCREDIBLE!" gushed Kyra.

"Well Thank You Kyra!"said Olivia.
"This is just a small part of the battle." said Beverly.
"Yes...Now we have to prepare his defense." said Nelson.
"And from the looks of things , this won't be easy." said Josie.
"But we can get into that tomorrow..."said Bresha.

"Here is my business card... Go Home, get some rest, shower up....and come see us tomorrow at 11:00 am Okay?" said Olivia.

"Great but I'm hungry.....I know a place...Follow me." said Harvey.

"Lead the way." I said.


Harvey knew of a Rooftop Bar and Grille across town...
"Ummmmmm this place is a well kept secret eh Neicey Poo?" said Olivia.

"It's a great date spot...We've got to come back, eh Nelson?" said Beverly.
"Yeah and tell some of our friends about it." said Nelson.

"Ummmm everything is delish!" said Bresha.
"Yes, this is my first time here too!" said Kyra.

Olivia, Beverly, Nelson ,Bresha and Kyra  decided to have breakfast food.




Pancakes, Breakfast Sausage and Hash Browns...


Harvey decided to treat himself to Steak and Eggs..





He was a man after my own tastes...I ordered a thick juicy steak and an everything omelet also.


Josie was a little more conservative...She ordered a New York Strip Steak too,





But a regular Omelet to go with it..


We all had mimosas with our meals..

A Sweet ending to a nice successful night in court.


IV-



"Olivia, I remember you from High School... I went to Girls High...I was there when you were there.. I was a year ahead of you..."said Kyra.

"Oh Really? Small World!" said Olivia.

"I remember you were on the Swim Team...You won the regional championship and went to the State Championship...the year after I graduated." said Kyra.

"I didn't win the State Championship...So tell me about yourself Kyra...." said Olivia.

''I was adopted...I had very loving foster parents.. They took good care of me..They paid my way through Rosemont College, where I got a B.A. in Education.

I was a schoolteacher for years...I taught Middle School and High School... I didn't get into the law game until about 9 years ago, I went to Lasalle University for Pre-Law...Then  I went to Middleton School of Law in Bayside and got my J.D. there.

Mr. Bailey gave me a job at his firm and he mentored me... He told me to not just take the Pennsylvania Bar, but to take the Bar exams in the region, so I took the New Jersey, Deleware, New York and Maryland Bar exams.." said Kyra.


"I graduated from Middleton School of Law Also...So did my husband." said Bresha.
"You did? Small World?" said Kyra with a smile.

"That's what we all did. I mean as far as taking multiple Bar exams." said Beverly.
''When I met Olivia I had passed the Pennsylvania and New York Bar exams...She talked me into taking the New Jersey and Deleware Bar exams and since then, we've all taken the Bar exams in Texas and California." said Nelson.

"Because you never know where you'll be called to practice..." said Josie.

''And we have practiced in Texas and California over the years." said Bresha.


"I know...I've seen you on the news over the years...You've come a long way since the Public Defenders Office Olivia....Your own practice, Big Career defining cases...You've done well...I'm proud of you..Being a Philadelphian and all." said Harvey.
"Well thank you." said Olivia.


"Is Kyra an Associate Attorney at your firm?" I asked.


"She is...She started out as a Para-Legal while she was in Law School...After she graduated and passed the bar ,she became an associate attorney at my firm...I've mentored her over the years." said Harvey Bailey.

"Life's Little Ironies." said Beverly as we finished our meals..


and ordered coffees.
