At a High rise in town...Attorney Helen Gist walked into the office of Arthur Tate.
''Hello Arthur, here are your tickets...Roundtrip to London..." she said.

II-
Nightfall...It had been a very interesting first day...We had made very little headway into this case...but we had shaken somebody, at least one person up..That person being Helen Gist...We still didn't know if she or who had killed Lloyd Johnson...but we did know that there was a connection...And she didn't want to talk about it.. Still , we were lawyers, not cops..
We were all at home...
Bee Bee was wearing a sheer see through Baby doll.....She had just taken a hot shower and walked into our bedroom..My eyes popped out of my head..
She giggled..
"Oh my goddd..look at you...You act like you haven't seen me before......WOW!!! That boner is massive." she said and put her hands over her mouth..
I pulled her towards me...I didn't say a word..
I pulled her towards me...I didn't say a word..
"Ummmmmm, ouuuuuuuuuuuu you are so hard...." she exclaimed as she stroked me lightly...
We lie across the bed, kissing and practically slobbering over each other....
The same was next door at Kahlil and Sofia's house..
Sofia and Kahlil were lying across the bed..
Kissing ,fondling and laughing..
They had skipped dinner and gone straight to the bedroom..
They had made love early into the morning hours....Nearly breaking the headboard of their massive bed.. Yvette smiled..She had had this bed, since she left home for college...She had remembered times when this bed never got this much action...When she 'd be lying awake ,staring at the ceiling..alone...unable to get to sleep!
before they too were making sweet love...
Gary and Ms. Yvette were way ahead of us..
They had been making sweet love since Ms. Yvette got home for the day...They had skipped dinner and gone straight to the bedroom..
That was not the case now...Gary wanted it constantly and they were putting a hurting on the legs and the headboard..She knew a new bed was in their immediate future..
Bee Bee and I were fast asleep in each others arms..
Sofia and Kahlil were in each others arms and still kissing, almost asleep.
And Gary and Ms. Yvette were sound asleep..
She answered her phone..
"No...Not a soul...Either your informant is very good at vanishing or he or she is still in there somewhere..."said Gary...
"Well, We have a Judge to see."said Sofia.
"I hope we don't look too sexy..."said Bee Bee..
"That's impossible.."said Kahlil.."Awwwwwwwwwww" said Sofia.
"Awwwwwwwwwwwwww"said Bee Bee..
I just smiled..

''We do our research...Several Cases in your courts by uh Lock 15 employees or clients ended quite favorable for them...Cases tried by the late Lloyd Johnson and a few times by Helen Gist..You've got quite a thing going.. I understand both of them were getting paid well too!"said Sofia..
He got as Red as a beet , but for a different reason.. 'What is this, a shakedown?" he asked.."Who are you?" he asked...
"As your attorney, you don't have to say another word..Tell your boss, Yvette nice try..."said Helen..Sofia pulled out an envelope and passed it to the Judge..
"Ouuuuuuuuu Gary!" moaned Yvette...
"Whyyyyyyy? Whyyyyyy?" she thought to herself... She looked over at Gary..He was snoring..She laughed..
Judge Foster
and Attorney Gist met with Judge
John Ohanlon...He's the ring leader.. They had a two hour meeting...The all emerged looking deftly afraid.
Yvette smiled.. "You always look out for me." she said.
Sofia and Kahlil were in each others arms and still kissing, almost asleep.
And Gary and Ms. Yvette were sound asleep..
Ms. Yvette heard her phone ringing vaguely...She got up and grabbed her phone off the night stand.. It was 3:30 am.
"Hello." she said.
"Hello Mrs. Lockwood..You don't know me...but I know you...I've been watching you and your young associates for the past few weeks..You defended Cecil Butts and got him off..and now you're Special Prosecutor...I understand, you're looking for the killer of Lloyd Johnson . I am the connection between him, the killer of that court clerk, Moe Decker, who was my friend and the connection between two judges and an attorney...I know you talked to and shook up Helen Gist...She's just the tip of the ice berg..Two federal judges are involved..I can help you connect the dots... You need to meet me right now at the Law Library...It's open all night.." came the voice..
"Are you serious?" asked Ms. Yvette..
Ms. Yvette hated to get up out of a comfortable bed...especially after she had been thoroughly satisfied by Gary...She wanted to sleep in post coital bliss like she usually did...But she had to look into this.
She took a quick shower , brushed her teeth and lotioned down afterwords...
She got in her car and headed downtown to the Law Library, which stayed open 24 hours..
"As serious as Cancer...I can help you connect the dots...I couldn't meet you during the day...It had to be here and now...Please meet me as soon as possible.. I'm on the 5th floor, aisle 4...I'll be waiting..."came the voice.
(click!)
She put on her sweat suit and wrote Gary a quick message...
She left a lipstick kiss at the end of it, under her name...
Even at this hour, young attorneys were inside, looking up predicates and laws, preparing for cases...She had done it herself years ago before her best friend, Olivia opened up her practice and allowed her and her associates to use her facilities when they weren't at work using their own law library.
She walked in, took the elevator to the 5th floor, Aisle 4.....she stood and waited.. Someone on the other side of the aisle moved a book...
"Ms. Yvette" came the voice.
"This better be worth my while.."said Yvette..
Several files were pushed through the hole in the aisle..
"It is..Check out the Bank records.. These are the income tax returns of Attorney Helen Gist and Judges
Barrett Foster and John Ohanlon... As you see they make pretty good money annually... Now check out their bank accounts for the past year..." came the voice.
"There is deposits from Lock 15 to all three of them for 150K on the second week of every month and the last week of every month...and the same for Lloyd Johnson...I knew he was doing good, but damn.."said Yvette..
"Those payments co-incide with a half dozen cases tried by Lloyd Johnson and Helen Gist in Judge Barrett Foster and Judge John Ohanlon's courtrooms... All cases that involve Lock 15 clients or employee, In the Civil cases...The jury almost always ruled in favor of the Lock 15 client... evidence vanished mysteriously or against all reason, jurors just sided with the defense.. In three of these cases,look at the jury foreman's bank records... Deposits of $2500.00 a pop, right before a verdict is rendered.." came the voice..
"This is Jury Tampering, Obstruction of Justice..and Bribery...."said Yvette.
"Damn right...Moe Decker was just a court clerk...He was in law school...His final year....He discovered somehow what was going on and he told me about it...About a week before he was murdered, he told me he thought someone was on to him...He made copies of everything he compiled...He said that if anything happened to him to make sure the truth got out...I don't know who killed him..But I knew that Autistic Boy, Cecil Butts , who was working there didn't do it...He is a very friendly and very non-violent boy by nature,as I'm sure you know.. You and your associates got him acquitted..and you got appointed Special Prosecutor to find out who killed Lloyd Johnson...I knew I could trust you." came the voice.
"Who killed Lloyd Johnson? Who Killed Moe Decker.??" asked Yvette.
"I don't know who..but I do know why? Moe Decker went to Judge Mason Dennehy and he was livid..He questioned all three of them and they vigorously denied any wrong doing.. He was going to present the Judge proof...The proof I'm presenting to you..He was murdered the next day and the killer made it look like the Autistic Boy did it..It was a good frame.. Aren't you surprised that the first Judge you had got removed suddenly and then you wound up facing one of the most brilliant prosecutors on the D.A.'s staff? One of those Judges has a lot of pull and he manipulated things, called in a few favors. I must admit....I looked at the youth of your associates and I thought that that boy was doomed, but you guys surprised me...You proved to better than even I thought and you got an innocent man acquitted."said the voice.
"Why was Lloyd Johnson killed.?" asked Yvette.
"Again, I don't know who, but Lloyd Johnson didn't like this..He knew that boy you defended was innocent, set up..and he didn't want to play ball any more.. He had a meeting with Helen Gist and Judge
Brett Foster..He wanted out...He wanted 300K and he promised he'd leave town, never to return...They thought that he'd break down if cornered by the Feds or the Police...So they decided...He had to go, that's all I know.. You guys are on the right track...Just follow the money...I've got to go now!" said the voice.
"How will I contact you?" asked Yvette.
"You won't...I'll contact you." came the voice.
Yvette stood there for a minute...She then walked to the other side of the aisle..Naturally , it was empty...
She walked downstairs....No one was there!
She stepped outside and walked into.....
"Gary!!!" she exclaimed..
"I woke up and the bed was empty....I got your message..I like that shade of lipstick you planted at the end of the letter...It was sexy!" he said laughing...
"Oh was it? Say did you see anyone come out of here?" asked Yvette.
"Since we are up...Let's go get an early breakfast..." he said.
"Okayyyyy!" whispered Yvette.. She loved this man!! She smiled at the thought of that!
III-
SOME HOURS LATER-
Ms. Yvette met with all of us and shared the information she had gleaned from the mysterious late night caller, we nicknamed "Deep Throat."
"This saved me two days worth of work...I was starting to look into the financial records of these guys..but this is more than I had found ,plus extra people...I didn't know about the jurors..or the rearranging of the prosecutors and the judge in our case..This ties everything together."said Jade.
Ms. Yvette pulled out a Zip drive and the files she had..."I've made three copies of everything...Keith ,these are the originals..I want you to take these to Olivia..Tell her to lock these in her safe....I'm going to lock a copy in our safe...A dummy copy. and Jade, take these copies and put them in our safe deposit box." said Yvette...
"They don't think I know that they've had a Private Investigator following us and gathering information on us..or that they bugged this office."laughed Yvette...
Our entire conversation had been in French.
She pointed to the listening device...Which we had discovered a day ago..
I stomped on it and smashed it... I then took the Zip Drive and Files and put them in my briefcase..
"I hope we don't look too sexy..."said Bee Bee..
"Awwwwwwwwwwwwww"said Bee Bee..
I just smiled..
While in a parking lot across the street from our office, Attorney Helen Gist sits with the P.I, she hired to follow us and bug our office..
'What do you mean you couldn't make hide no hair of what they were saying?" asked Helen Gist, obviously angry.
"Hey just what I said..I'm not a fancy dan Attorney like you...everything they said sounded like they were speaking in French, I don't know what they were talking about.. All I know is that"ve all left except Lockwood and they went in seperate directions." said the P.I.
Citris Martinis
Judge Barrett Foster...A known womanizer, but respected Judge...
''Drink up girls..Drink Up " he laughed..
He was as bad if not worse than Lt. Tragg..
Bee Bee and Sofia sat on either side of him...His hands wandered up their skirts, rubbing their legs and occassionally rubbing their butts...He yanked on the waistband of their panties..They both constantly removed his hands and smiled, even though they both wanted to slap the hell out of him...
''So I've looked at your resume's ...You both graduated from PENN Law school..Outstanding...and you're presently working at McCluskey/Cozen/Connor & Pratt huh? Incredible..I'm guessing you heard through the grapevine that I'm leaving the bench soon and setting up my own practice soon and you two would like employment..." he said, rubbing their legs and again wandering up their skirts.."Ummmmmmph...Lawddd you both have nice shapely legs... Ummmmmmmmmph, you've got what I need...Ummmmmmmmmph.." he moaned..Nearly delirious..He was a s red as a beet...Just like Lt. Tragg.
"From what I understand...You've got more than enough to start a firm and then some.. You've been getting a payment of 150K every two weeks from Lock 15 ...Which is about 20 payments...and a recent payment of 95K..What was that uh a bonus?" asked Bee Bee.
The massive erection he had had , had now vanished...he had a look of pure fear on his face and he removed his hands from under their skirts..
"They are who they say they are Judge, Attorneys for McCluskey/Cozen/Connor & Pratt. Their Boss is now a Special Prosecutor who has the crazy idea that we had something to do with Lloyd Johnson's murder..."said Helen Gist.
"WHATTTTTTT? that's crazy."laughed Judge Foster nervously..."You could have made this easy and talked to us here..We figured you might not , so we brought these along.."said Sofia.
"These are called Subpeonas..Here is one for you Helen....We'll see you both in court." said Bee Bee as they both got up and left the bar...
"These are called Subpeonas..Here is one for you Helen....We'll see you both in court." said Bee Bee as they both got up and left the bar...
Kahlil and I sat outside in the car...
"Any problems?" asked Kahlil..
IV-
It had been a good day....
Ms. Yvette and her husband, Gary were kissing passionately... They had been out to dinner and had drinks and were home...
Gary bent her over the bathroom sink and entered her slowly....
"OUUU YESSS..YESSSSS...YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!" moaned Yvette...
He lifted Yvette up soon and began deep stroking her... Her head turned from side to side..tears ran down her face and she began to cry like a little girl..
"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU GARRRRYYYY! OUUUUUUUUUU!!!!" she cried out..
They began making sweet, sweet ,slow tender love..
"OHHHHHHHHHHH GARRRRRRY!" she moaned..
"UMMMM VETTIE!" he moaned.
EIGHT TO NINE HOURS slipped by slowly...She had had about three to four intense orgasms...
Gary came so hard, he thought he was dying....
She drifted off into a peaceful sleep in Gary's arms...She couldn't have been asleep that long, when she heard her phone ringing...
She frowned...
She got up...
Another Hot Shower.....Brushing of the teeth and mouthwash....Body Lotion and putting on some comfortable sweats..
She left Gary another cute little note..
With her trademark lipstick kiss at the bottom..
Once again she drove into town and headed to the law library, fifth floor, aisle four.
where she waited.
''Are you there?" she whispered..
A Book was moved..
"Yes I am...You guys sure shook up the hornets nest today...They are furious...
and Attorney Gist met with Judge
"That was the idea." said Yvette.
It's Helen Gist and that's her leaving...." came the voice.''Good now stay on the money, follow the money...Make them explain what the payments were for, put the pressure on Lock 15..here is a list of Lock 15 execs you might want to subpeona.... I brought you something.. Something that will help you make an arrest in the Lloyd Johnson murder.. This is a street cam photo taken at Lloyd Johnson's condo the afternoon he was murdered...It's time stamped.. Look who is at his door?" came the voice..
"She had a briefcase when she entered....But she's leaving empty handed.."said Yvette.
"Maybe! But that puts her there right in the time of the murder..You pop her...she may knock down the entire house of cards....She's already under court summons.." came the voice.
"Wowwwwww you're on it..." said Yvette...
"Yeah...Go get em girlfriend.. I'll be in touch...but no more this week..I promise...Tell your husband,I'm sorry." laughed the voice.
And just like that, Deep Throat was gone...without a trace...
Yvette looked around...There wasn't a trace of anyone..
At first...There was no sign of Gary.... Just as she was about to cross the street to the parking lot, she saw him..
He had two styrofoam tumblers of Hot Coffee..
"You're going to have to tell this guy to call you during the daytime...He can't keep taking you out of our bed." laughed Gary.
And she stood there on the corner and kissed him passionately in the early morning air.
