OFFICE OF SPECIAL PROSECUTOR- Larry Peppers

Gil Garcetti had brought in a Special Prosecutor from New York to handle this case.. because no one in his office wanted to prosecute one of their own....



He studied the basis of the case


He was also studying the attorneys he'd be facing. He had dossiers of us on his laptop.




"This Case is weak....I need you to recanvass and look at everything...Leave no stone unturned...Do you understand... I don't want any surprises Detective." said Larry Peppers.

"I understand and I'm on it." said Detective James Tragg, cousin of Lt. Tragg..


Today was all hands on deck in our law library... Even Olivia was helping Beverly, Josie and Bresha with the research on this case of like cases...there were few, laws most likely pertaining to a case like this and general laws... 


 






Nelson was next door in the media room looking at potential jurors, their race, age, political views, employment and economic status to determine the right juror for this case.





Olivia was looking at street cam views of the comings and goings in that hotel that night.......






Josie in addition to doing research was busy giving Josh Hoffman updates on the progress of his case.






Bresha was doing her research like the rest.....





Alfreda delivered Foot Long Hoagies to them for lunch...


and Cokes.





II-


I spent the morning at the Medical Examiner's office...

I was looking at the body of Valentina Natchios. Someone had done a number on her neck...
"What have you found Hazel?" I asked Dr. Hazel Baylor, Deputy Coroner.


''Well she had sex that night with at least two men...We found semen from two males inside of her body...and on her panties... Some of it is a match for Joshua Hoffman, but then the rest is another man. Get this...We got some DNA off of some skin cells on her neck...it's not Hoffman's DNA...It belongs to the mystery man...We are waiting to get a hit from the DNA Database...I'll give you a heads up but you have to know...I have to call the police first."said Dr. Baylor..

"I understand...Just don't forget me..."I said with a smile..."Thanks Hazel...."I said.


I next went to the Hilton at Penns Landing..


I went to the hotel room....I wanted to find foreign DNA...DNA that I could use to compare to the mystery DNA....The Mystery DNA in The additional semen and saliva and skin cells found on the woman's neck.
''What are you doing here?" came the voice of  Detective James Tragg.


"Probably the same thing you're doing....Recanvassing...looking for additional evidence."I said.


''Evidence of what? Your wife's client strangled that girl...It's open and shut..;..Now I want you to leave my crime scene." said Detective Tragg.


I showed him a piece of paper...It was signed by a Judge...It allowed me to investigate the crime scene as part of the defense.

He ripped it up... "Like I said ,Leave my crime scene or we'll be talking about suspending your license." he said.  He was every bit as arrogant and bone headed as his more famous cousin.



I made a phone call and explained what had happened...


''Who are you calling, your wifey?"he smirked. Actually I was calling his boss, The Deputy Of Operations.



I passed him the phone...

"Hello....OH YES SIRRRRR SIRRRR!...NO I AM RECANVASSING....YES, HE TOLD ME THAT A JUDGE SIGNED OFF ON HIM....I-I ripped it up sir....I'm sorry....NO MY HEAD IS NOT UP MY ASS SIR!   NO I HAVEN'T DISCOVERED ANYTHING NEW SIR....YES SIR SIRRRRRRRR!  I'M SORRY SIRRRRRR!" he said...He was as red as a beet when he passed me the phone.
''Don't contaminate my crime scene and I want to know whatever you find." he said, trying to still sound as if he had some authority...


Was it possible to have an entire family of buttheads?   I suppose so. I walked in the bathroom..I found two discarded condoms in the waste basket...I slipped them into a plastic bag and slipped it into my suit jacket. I bowed my head and quietly left...






III-


"So James Tragg is not much better if better at all than our favorite Lieutenant."laughed Olivia.

"He might be a little worse...Lt. Tragg has mellowed out a little in the past year." I said as we lie on the bed, kissing.

"That's because Kelly Ann has chilled him out....Like my niece says, the Power of the Pan-tayyys." she laughed.

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 couch in our living room ,kissing like two horny teenagers.

Tonight she was hopeful about this case and of us launching a decent defense...

I was hopeful too!..



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


"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.." I moaned.



as we headed straight for the bedroom...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Donnie Ray, Give it to me Daddy....Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.." she moaned.

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu yes baby!" 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...

"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....


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......

"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, we have  to get some sleep, tonight! .Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuu Yessssssssssssss..." she said as she moved up and down and kissed me softly..


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


"So we need to get to sleep soon..." 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 naked, kissing passionately.......

"MMMMMMMMMMMMM!" she moaned...

They had just taken a nice hot shower together.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU YOU ARE SOOO HARDDD!" she exclaimed...


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, come here,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...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....

"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...

''We gotta get some sleep baby... 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.



Usually on Thursday Night, We were all at Curley's... We had discovered a new restaurant we liked...We were there tonight.




Plenty of Tacos...


Beers
Vegetable Trays

Fruit Trays



and more beer.

 

"This is something different from Curleys..."said Olivia.
 

"Yeah...it is different...but we get to eat." I said, smiling.
"These Tacos are delish..."said Beverly...
"I love this place.."said Nelson.

"They miss us at Curleys tonight." said Josie.
"We aren't there....Lt. Tragg isn't there...Wow!  That place is empty tonight."said Paris.

"Nah, they still bring a big crowd." said Bresha.
"Yeah....We just won't be there."said Tony.

"I don't even care...I like this place...I think these Tacos are better than Aqua Bar."said Alfreda.

"I would tend to agree." said Rockland. 

 "This is a nice alternative to Curleys."said Yvette, munching on a hot Taco.

"Yes it is...Ummmmmmmmmm these Tacos are good.

"The Fruit and Vegatables are good too!" said Keith Jones
"Yes they are."said Bee Bee.
"Olivia and Beverly's trial begins tomorrow...It's nice that they won't be tipsy.."said Sofia.
"We'll probably be leaving here earlier tonight and all get a good night's sleep..Something we usually don't do on Thursday Nights."said Kahlil.
"You're correct." said Jade, also munching on a Taco.

"I love this place." said Danny Ho.


"So Do I."said Virginia.


"I love this place." said Jetty.

"This is something different from Curleys...and I like it"said Jazzy.
 
"We all love this place."said Dabnis.


"Slow down Dabnis, the Tacos aren't going anywhere...See? They're making more." joked Kayla.
Her husband, Ray who was eating two at a time himself laughed loudly...


"I'm glad you all like this place...My former client swears by this spot."said Jessica.


"It was a good choice." said her husband, Chip....


"Olivia do you have any idea where your client is right now.?" asked Karen.

"Hopefully he is somewhere lying low..."said Olivia.


"Yeah? well there is your co-defendent...She's not lying low." said B.L



Attorney Gretchen Bondi was sitting across from us and she wasn't alone.

She was with a young man who none of us knew...





They enjoyed a more than passionate kiss ,just before their tacos arrived.

Enjoying Tacos and laughing and talking and smiling at each other sheepishly.

"WOW, No grass grows under her feet...It's like she's forgotten about Josh Hoffman."laughed Natalie.


"Well don't forget...He's married."said David.

"He's seperated..His wife put him out...He's staying with Gil and Chris Garcetti." said Brooke.

''Well one thing is for sure...He's not in Curleys tonight with her."said Sean.


"No Panties for him tonight."said Beverly...

"At least not hers."said Zoey.

Her husband Lem cracked up laughing...."You two need to stop!" he said.


"He has much more to worry about...He goes on trial for his life tomorrow."said Renee.

"Doesn't she also?"asked Tyrell.


"No....Earlier today...A Judge dropped all charges against her., Stating insufficient evidence...but unfortunately, they wouldn't do the same for Joshua Hoffman..Tonight Gretchen Bondi is a free woman."said Olivia.

''She sure is."said Jazzy.


''YES SHE IS." agreed Natalie.

"WOWWWW! BUMMER! I know that guy....I graduated from Law School with him...We took the Bar together....Same Day.."said Lee Akes.


" Well, he's getting his supplemental education from Gretchen Bondi tonight. I had a feeling they were going to drop charges against her." said Matthew.

"So she's celebrating in a new Bistro with a new guy."said Nina



"Fooling around with her, he lost his marriage, got kicked out of his home and his reputation is tarnished....I wonder if she was worth it?" mused Carlos...




Attorney Gretchen Bondi and her young male friend continued eating their Tacos and smiling at each other sheepishly.

They enjoyed a soft kiss in the corner where they ate...

.

Kisses that got more passionate as the afternoon wore on...





IV-


THE MARINA AT PENNS LANDING, Thursday Afternoon-

In a small Cantina, Lt. Tragg displayed Crabs and Crab Legs on the table...Crabs he had caught from the river during his night duty on the Marine Boat. Crab Fishing had become his hobby.




This afternoon, he was eating with his cousin, Detective James Tragg.


"So you caught the Hoffman Murde case huh Jimmy?" said Lt. Tragg as they cracked crabs and enjoyed eating....

"Yeah...the trial begins tomorrow... These crabs are good... Artie...You get em out of the river?" asked James Tragg.


"Yup ,fresh outta the river....Have some beer." said Lt. Tragg.

They both swigged down mugs of beer..

"I know Hoffman has pull...Who'd he get as his lawyer?" asked Lt. Tragg.


''Auntie and Niecy...Olivia Bennett-Alexander and her niece, Beverly West and that crew..."snarled James Tragg.  


 











"DAMN!  They attach themselves to any case, any case that appears to be newsworthy, controversial...Who is the prosecutor?" asked Lt. Tragg.


"They brought in a Special Prosecutor out of New York....

"His name is Larry Peppers...He's a real prick! Garcetti called him in because no one on his staff wanted to prosecute one of their own." said James Tragg.


"Damn,...I hope he is successful...On a night like tonight I'd be in Curleys with my hand up my girls dress, kissing her and swilling down a beer...Instead I'm out here on the pier...Eating crabs with you and preparing to get on the Marine Boat and spend all night on the river...This was Hoffman's fault, he complained to the Deputy of Operations, said I gave him a bad case. He's gettin just what he deserves...I hope they send him up the river."complained Lt. Tragg.

The two men continued eating crabs...
