The Faithless Witness

 TWO WEEKS LATER-

The trial had been grueling and contentious....as well as emotionally draining....

Ms. Yvette, bolstered by  Me, Attorney Keith Jones, My wife, Attorney Beatrice "Bee Bee" Evans-Jones, Attorney Kahlil Ahmed and his wife Attorney Sofia Garcia-Ahmed..

presented evidence from boxes of  digital transcripts of payments coming from Wellington Accountsgoing to White Supremacist organizations and Alt Right Political Action groups..We even called in members to testify...

Attorney Lynn Strong, a real heavy hitter was good, she went hard on cross questioning all of our witnesses and forcing them to admit that they didn't know who was personally giving them money..

Cindy Biddell looked over at Greg Garland and smiled ruefully..

At times he was so angry, he was shaking..He looked like he wanted to cut her..

Sofia and Bee Bee did a good job of keeping him cool...Normally both of them dressed in mini skirts with their beautiful legs showing would have been more than enough to keep him cool, but not now..

Ms. Yvette was right, There was something definitely different about him...The killing of his fiance by white supremacists had opened a hole in him, a deep dark hole of which he had never been down before..and exposed an anger and a deep dark hatred none of us who had known him had ever seen before..

We couldn't say we were surprised by what had transpired in the past two weeks..We expected it..and used every legal precedent we had to back up our arguments..but that notwithstanding..We didn't have a smoking gun...Proof, solid proof.

Ms. Yvette, Kahlil and I presented cancelled checks signed by Cynthia Biddle going to one Ray Lapier..and now we had her... He was the ring leader of the cell of five that masterminded the murder of U.S. Attorney Tessa Greenleaf...

The Bomber and the other four guys were of no consequence...but he was the leader...The one who all of their residences name was in...His credit card..Issued by Wellington , that purchased all of the guns off the black market and bomb equipment...

We even had a check co-signed by a Wellington Associate for one of his Range Rovers..

This was Hard evidence to dispute....

We finally saw Cynthia Biddle blink...She got a look of pure horror on her face...The worst was yet to come..

Attorney Lynn Strong was good, damn good.. She argued that writing a check to someone for whatever reason was not proof of collusion in any wrong doing..She argued that what they did with the money after it was given to them was not her clients responsibility...

Bee Bee and Sofia argued to the contrary...

Finally Lynn Strong asked Judge Crater if she could have a continuance to weigh in the new discovery evidence...

Judge Crater sighed... He had been enjoying the arguments and the application of law on both sides..

''Alright...I think everyone needs a break...A continum is granted.. Three days...be here at 9:30 am sharp and be ready to proceed." he said and slammed down his gavel..

Greg Garland smiled for the first time...He hugged Yvette..

"Girrrll, you and your guys are the absolute truth...You've got em running scared..." he said.

"Running maybe, but not defeated...That Lynn Strong is good..Maybe the best I've ever been up against... Everybody just be cool...Loves , I am sooooooooo proud of the four of you...Take a breather.."said Ms. Yvette..

"Cool, what's on our agenda babes?" I asked Bee Bee..

''We've got to go grocery shopping..."said Bee Bee..

"Yeah, so do we...We can do it together..."said Sofia.

''And how about you two have dinner over our spot tonight?" said Kahlil.

"Sounds Like a plan to me.."I said...

"Yes and we'll bring Wine."said Bee Bee.

Yvette got on her cell phone

She called Gary...

"Gary...Are you real busy today? Can you take the rest of the day off?" she asked.

''Sure...Are you alright?" asked Gary..

"I don't want you to get too excited...I'm not going to do this too often in the future , but I need for you to meet me at home....I'll wear that new Red Lacy Baby doll you liked so much....Gary....Garyy??  " she sighed and put her phone back in her pocketbook..

II-

Gary was out of breath when he arrived at their home..

Yvette was sitting on the bed in her red lace baby doll...

"Oh My Godddd..."said Gary, his eyes nearly bulging out of his head.....

He began undressing hurriedly and pulled Yvette to him and began kissing her passionately..

"OHHHHHHH VETTTIE....OHHHHHHHH ANYTIME YOU NEED ME JUST CALL!" GARY MOANED.

Yvette smiled..

The bedsprings were soon squeaking very loudly.....The headboard of their bed was rattling and the sounds of lovemaking could be heard...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuu.." moaned Yvette...


"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.." moaned Gary.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Garyyyyy, ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.." she moaned...

"Vettie, I love you , I just love you soooo much.." moaned Gary, beside himself with lust...

He had gone from lifting her up and long stroking her..

"Ouuuuuu Gary, I love you too...I love you so much! You don't even understand how much I love youuuu." she cooed.

to throwing her on the bed and laughing gleefully as he stroked her.....Her arms around his neck...her head turning from side to side....both of her legs just shaking furiously....

To finally mounting her in bed, making sweet, slow love to her....

Yvette had had three to four intense orgasms in the EIGHT TO NINE HOURS of lovemaking...

She was embarrassed at the noise her bed was making...She hoped her neighbors couldn't hear it...

Her headboard sounded like it might split in half.....

She was equally embarrassed at the noise she was making....Gary was driving her out of her mind...

She was driving him out of his mind too!

Gary didn't seem like he wanted to stop....but soon he couldn't help it...He came and he came hard like a flowing gusher..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" he moaned....

They continued kissing....

"Did you like that daddy?" asked Yvette...

"Ouuuuu I loved it baby.." moaned Gary

Gary lay in between her legs with his head resting on her breasts.. Both of them were drenched in sweat....

"Now what's really bothering you? This trial getting to you?" he asked.

Yvette looked over at her clock...

"It's gotten very intense. We forced them to ask for a continuance."whispered Yvette...

"That means that they know you're serious and that you've got them over a barrell..You're winning baby girl." he whispered...

"Well for the time being..  She's good, the best I've ever gone up against." she said as she got up and walked to the kitchen to get a bottle of water...

"You're good , the best I've ever -" he said.

"Don't-  I know......"she giggled..

"Well, it's true after all.."laughed Gary.

"You wanna do it some more? asked  Yvette..

Gary pulled her to him and kissed her gently and ran his hands into her panties...

"You have to ask?" he whispered and laughed raffishly...

"No you horn dog!!!..I already know."Yvette laughed...

"OUUUUUUUUUU! OH MY GOODNESS, YOU ARE SOOOOO HARD! GARY!!! You don't make any sense.." laughed Yvette..

"Neither do you!" said Gary, laughing raffishly...

They wound up back on the bed...Making sweet love for Another THREE HOURS or so...

"Ummmmmmmmmm you never.....you never get enough do you?" she asked..

"No, I don't...you've got me spoiled...All this good lovin.." he said..

"I knowwwwwwww!" Yvette giggled....as her bed continued to squeak out of control.

"OHHHHHHHHHHH VVETTTTIE!" he moaned..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUU, UMMMMMMMMMMMMM GARRRRRRRRRY!!!!" she cooed.

While they were making sweet love, we were nearby shopping for dinner!

We were finishing up in the supermarket..

"Wow we had quite a day in court today...We nailed it..Forced them to ask for a continuance."I said, Jubilant as we entered the check out line..

"Don't get too excited...She's good and if I know right.She's looking up predicates right now and trying to find someway to discredit what we found.."said Sofia.

''So maybe we better spend tomorrow and the day after going over everything we have presented..As if we were her, so we can be ready."said Bee Bee..

"That's a good idea.."said Kahlil..

"Helllooooooooo guys and gals!"came the voice of Ms. Jade.

"JADE!! Where have you been?" asked Kahlil, hugging her..we hadn't seen or heard from her in a week..

"I've been winning your case for you...I've found a witness willing to testify that he personally withdrew the money on orders from Cynthia Biddle that went to the late Ray Lapier, leader of the white Supremacist Cell that Assistant U.S. Attorney Tessa Greenleaf was investigating..and that Lapier visited both of them at headquarters on at least two occassions."said Jade.

"Is he a recently terminated employee?" asked Bee Bee.

''Yes and uh, he's in Hospice...He's dying...Terminal Cancer..He doesn't have much longer to live..I'm talking about weeks..I'm going to need you guys to pull some strings to get him to be able to leave and be able to testify.."said Jade.

I immediately pulled out my phone.

"I'll call Ms. Yvette right now."I said.

"Uhhhh it's been a long day...Let's not bother Ms. Yvette right now..We can talk to her tomorrow, Nothing she can do today.."said Sofia.

"We are having dinner at our house tonight..Join us Jade." said Kahlil..

We joined Sofia and Kahlil at their home for dinner..

The smell of steaks on the grill propogated the room....

Five Baked Potatoes

A Huge Salad

And a Nice Port of Wine that Bee Bee and I supplied rounded out our meal..

"Sofia, Kahlil...Everything is just Delish..."said Bee Bee..

"Thank you Girlfriend...We should do this more often.."said Sofia..

"I know...Even though we are next door to each other...I miss us all being in the same building."said Bee Bee..

"Oh I do too." said Sofia.

"You need a Subpeona for this guy to be able to testify...I think I can get you one...I know a Predicate..

Let's meet tomorrow Jade at the courthouse...I can manage this for you." I said.

"That will be great...Kahlil, Sofia, your house is beautiful and dinner was excellent..I'll have to have you all over my house for dinner soon."said Jade.

"You're quite welcome Jade." said Kahlil..

III-

THREE DAYS LATER-

"Keith I am so proud of you...way to take initiative...That was a great predicate you used.."said Ms.Yvette to me..

"This is the nail in the coffin Ms. Yvette." I said Proudly..

''Where is Kahlil?" asked Bee Bee

"He and Jade are bringing in our witness.." said Sofia.

Kahlil and Jade walked in with a man named Ben Astrid...He was so weak, that both had to help him into the courtroom...

One look at him and Cynthia Biddle slumped down in her seat...For the first time in the entire trial, the self confident smirk on her face was gone and replaced by one of pure fear!!

"Ohhhhhh hell" she said..

"Who is he?" asked Lynne Strong..

Cynthia Biddle whispered in Lynne Strong's ear...

"Damn it Cynthia , I should have known about him from the beginning...Damn it... Your Honor.. I object to this witness ,because he was not part of discovery and I did not have time to ascertain his possible testimony.." said Attorney Lynne Strong..

"You're just coming off of a continuance...You don't even know what this man is going to testify to or DO YOU?" asked the Judge..

"That is my point exactly.." said Lynne Strong..

"Well I for one would like to hear what he has to say...We'll hear the witness.."said the Judge.

Yvette called our witness, Ben Astrid  to the stand..

Jade, Kahlil and I helped him to the stand....

"Mr. Astrid, you are a former employee of the Wellington Investment Group, A Multi-National corporation is that correct?" asked Ms. Yvette.

"Yes, I was... I was diagnosed a year ago with terminal pancreatic cancer...My diagnosis gives me from just weeks to maybe a month to live...I am here of my own free volition, because I feel guilty about the death of that Assistant U.S. Attorney....I was the Assistant Comptroller for Wellington, so I saw where all of the money went and to whom it went..I was an intimate associate of Ms. Biddle....I am a conservative Republican myself..but I never went for her far far right wing politics and I warned her many times about the money she was lending to certain organizations.." he said.

Bee Bee produced a life size photo of deceased White Supremacist Cell Leader, Ray Lapier..along with photos of his deceased four co-conspirators and the bomber...

"You ever see any of these six people Mr. Astrid?" she asked.

"Only that one, Ron Lapier..He came by our office and had lunch with Ms. Biddle and she wrote him at least three checks for an undisclosed amount of cash, which I witnessed. He was rather scruffy looking, but she and he had a long talk about politics, how they both were opposed to Black Lives Matter and other things.." said Ben Astrid.

"If the court please...The Witness has Identified Ron Lapier, killed last month in a high speed chase with FBI and ATF agents who were serving a warrant for his arrest and identified as the leader of the small cell who conspired to murder AUSA Tessa Greenleaf, who had indictments agains Lapier and four members of his cell, all deceased for weapons charges, wire fraud and conspiracy."said Sofia.

A bailiff whispered in Judge Crater's ear...He frowned..

"EVERYBODY..I NEED YOU TO EXIT THIS COURTROOM IMMEDIATELY!!!  THERE HAS BEEN A  BOMB SCARE, FOLLOW THE BAILLIFS OUT INTO THE HALLWAY AND EXIT ORDERLY....WE WILL CONTINUE TOMORROW MORNING AT NINE SHARP!" HE SAID.

We began exiting the courtroom ...

Greg Garland was furious...He glared at Cynthia Biddle...

"This was you...but it won't help you....It's just delaying the inevitable.." he said.

Cynthia smiled snarkily at him...

"Come on...Come Onn, let's go." said Attorney Lynn Strong..hustling her out..

I joined Kahlil and Ms. Jade in helping Ben Astrid out of his chair and into the car that was going to transfer him back to Hospice...He was only supposed to testify one day...Now we might have to bring him back tomorrow..This wasn't going to be easy..

"Ms. Yvette, this was a set up...You know it."said Bee Bee.

"Of course it was...but it will be next to impossible to prove.and we are running out of time."said Ms. Yvette..

"What are we going to do now?" asked Sofia.

"Maybe we can videotape his testimony....Nahh Lynne Strong could argue that she couldn't cross examine him...We've got to try to get him back here again...Come on guys...Let's get out of here."said a disgusted Yvette.

IV-

SOME HOURS LATER-

"I'm so sorry Vettie.. I figured you'd want to know.." said Dr. Hazel Baylor as the body of our witness,

Ben Astrid was taken out of the Hospice.

It was a somber occassion....

''That's okay Hazel, thanks for calling me.."said Yvette..

''Cause of death was  cardiac arrest, sudden cardiac arrest.. He'll be autopsied of course, but right now it doesn't look like there was any sign of foul play.." said Gary, who was there representing the District Attorney's Office.

"I don't know...It seems fishy to me.. He was getting ready to blow the lid off , there is a bomb scare and he's dead just like that." said Bee Bee..

''We just have to pound it to the jury what he said before the bomb scare.." said Sofia..

"I'm going through his personal effects..Maybe there is something he left behind.."said Jade...

Kahlil and I stood away from the fold..

"This is B.S.  This was no co-incidence....The Bomb scare, and now this guy's death...This was all part of a design..All in the same day after he delivers damaging testimony..No way this is a co-incidence." I said angrily....

"I know...I know man, you're probably right ,but proving it is another thing altogether..and we are runn ing out of time." said Kahlil.

Our Faithless witness was dead...

And Across town...

"Tell Me Jake, this job ever make you feel dirty? The things you have to do for a client...Specifically when you hate the client's guts, but they're paying you a fortune?" said Attorney Lynne Strong.

"No...I help put people behind bars..Not keep them from  going."laughed newly minted Assistant District Attorney, Jake Patais...

"Ohhhhh That's right, you work full time for The D.A.'s office now...How is that? Money wise it's a comedown from what you were making.." said Lynne..

"Yeah...it is.. I lecture at Drexel Law School a couple of times a month and out in Bayside at Middleton Law school, so I make ends meet.."said Jake..

''Where is uh your lady love tonight? That Assistant District Attorney who you've been bopping around with..?" she asked.

"You mean Diane? She's got a big trial...She's studying...We don't see each other when she's prepping for a big case.."said Jake.

"How cute..How swayy!!"laughed Lynne.

"I heard you're up against some old "friends" of mine...Yvette Jones-Lockwood, Keith Jones, Beatrice Evans-Jones, Kahlil Ahmed and Sofia Garcia -Ahmed." he laughed..

still thinking about the sting of losing to us.

''They aren't your friends....They kicked you and lawyer lady's ass in the courtroom , just like they're doing me now...They're good...damn good..a lot better than either I or my client expected...I'm going to have to really go into my bag of tricks to beat them or negotiate a proffer..Something more substantial than a measly 20 million."said Lynne.

"That's all that cheap broad is offering? She's a Billionaire or rumored to be..I would have held out for more too."laughed Jake..

"I don't wish to talk about her now...She'd have a fit if she suspected I am Jewish with her racist ass, Come on lawyer bae , get your clothes off..I didn't come over here for coffee and small talk" said Lynne as she began to undress..They had been out drinking and he had asked her if she didn't mind coming up to his loft for "coffee" She and he knew that that meant sex...It always had..

She slipped her panties off and unhooked her bra...Jake nearly lost his mind, watching her...She laughed....

"Look at you, as hard and as erect as a tent pole." she said.

L-L-Look at youuuu!" he said..

She just laughed out loud...

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM..OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU"

 squealed Attorney Lynne Strong  as Jake Patais plowed into her, doggie style and bent her over his kitchen sink just minutes later...

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH..AWWWWWWWWWW LAWWWWWWD!" Jake moaned..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU..WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MEEEEE?" Lynne moaned..as she fell to the kitchen floor and Jake mounted her...

"OHHHHHHHHHH!  OHHHHH!!! OHHHHHHHH!! UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM! WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MEEEEEEEE????" he moaned..

 

Soon they were sitting ,naked on Jake's couch, kissing each other passionately...while  she moved up and down on his rock hard penis..

"OUUU JAKE, HAVE YOU GOTTEN BIGGER SINCE THE LAST TIME WE DID IT? UMMMMM

YOU ARE AS HUGE AS A MULE!! OUUUUUUUU!" she cooed as she moved up and down....

and eventually into his huge bed...Where they were making love for NINE TO TEN HOURS!

Lynne Strong  had had four to five orgasms, intense orgasms...Jake was like a machine...she was close to tapping out...She had needed a release like this...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUU HOOO HOOO HOOO HOOOOUUUUU OOOUUUU WEEEEEE!" she cooed.. "OUUUUUUUUUUUU JAKEEEEE...DAMNNNN, JAKKKKKEEEEE!" she cooed..She was having another intense orgasm and near delirium...

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" he screamed to the top of his lungs as he finally began to cum and cum hard...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU JAKEEEEEEE, YOU'RE THE BEST.....OUUUUU THE BESTTT!" she moaned...as his bed heaved and heaved under their combined weights..Both of her legs shaking furiously....and tears streaming down her face....

"OH MY GODDD!!!....WOUUUUUUUU!" she yelled out.....trying to catch her breath!

She had been one of his law professors when he was a student at Harvard...He had gotten a lot of extra credit points after class..

The Moon was full tonight..

Lynne showered and got dressed.. Jake was snoring still, She smiled and left his loft....She hailed an UBER...

The Faithless Witness was dead, but she was afraid the damage had already been done...

(CONCLUSION NEXT)
