The Survivor

On a side street , Ms. Jade was meeting with an informant..

"My Boss didn't tell me his girl was so good looking." said the detective as he and Jade walked along the side street..

Jade blushed..

"Thank youuuu...He didn't tell me his detective was so flirtatious either." she said and laughed.

The detective, Jack Langston... laughed...

"His name is Oswald   Burpee....He's a naturalized American Citizen..He was born in Moscow. His parents defected years ago.

He's a suspected fence...We' and the Criminal Investigation Division have been watching this guy for months. He Fences High end merch...No cheap stuff...Only the highest price stuff...Artwork, Jewelry,et al...If the artwork your client says was worth millions...Chances are , a thief would take it to him and he'd get a price for it...He lives in an expensive condo in town...He moves alone and in silence...And he doesn't deal with a lot of people , so it's been hard to get an undercover near him...

We were able to clone one of his phones and we know that he was talking to someone, someone we weren't able to identify about some artwork...Artwork he said was hot...Artwork he said he was going to look for a buyer for outside of Philly...We have alerted the FBI...

He had someone giving him information...disturbing information , Information only law enforcement would be privy to...We never found the Mole.. but we strongly suspect the mole might have been the recently murdered Detective McCoulough....We just couldn't prove it!  " said Detective Jack Langston.

He passed Jade a tumbler of coffee..

"He told me how you like it.....Three creams, Three Sugars.."said Detective Jack Langston.

Jade smiled. "Tell Danny, I said thank you...and thank you for the intell." she said.. As they turned and walked into two different directions.

Jade got in her car and began driving..

She wasn't driving long before she realized she was being followed.

 She couldn't make out the driver, but she was definitely  being followed...She stepped on the gas at next green light  and took off..

And thus began a chase through the city streets...

between Ms. Jade and whoever was after her....

Jade swung her 2020 Nissan Rogue into an alley, shut it off and rolled out of the car with her gun cocked..

A man wearing glasses with a dispassionate look on his face got out...

He pulled out his gun with a silencer... He took aim...

Ms. Jade was quicker on the draw...She fired three shots from her .40 caliber....More than she needed.

The first shot went between his eyes and exited out of the back of his head, killing him instantly...The second and third shots hit him in his chest....

He was dead by the time he hit the ground....

SOME TIME LATER, the body was being removed from the street.. Ms Yvette and all of us were at the scene.

"Jade ,I'm so glad you're alright." said Ms. Yvette.

"At any case...I'm in better shape than he is." laughed Jade.. though nothing was funny about somebody trying to kill you.

''Wow ,this case just got real serious." I said, hugging my wife, Bee Bee.

"We must be close to something."said Bee Bee.

''Something Somebody doesn't want us to know."said Sofia.

"Yeah, like the real killer of Detective McCoulough."said Kahlil.

"Well this guy is from Jersey City...His name is Matt Kelm, a suspect in about 12 contract killings..

He works clean and neat....Guess he wasn't so clean or neat this time."said Lt. Danny Ho.

Detective Michael Schlapp was there...He was surprisingly very quiet! No sarcasm, no smart remarks...He almost looked a little pale...Paler than usual.

"I'll need that gun....Any reason why this jamolk was after you...?" asked Lt. Tragg , not trying to hide his sarcasm!

''I haven't the foggiest idea."said Jade.

"It IS LEGALLY REGISTERED?" asked Lt. Tragg snidely..

" Of Course. I work for attorneys...It would be.."said Jade, snidely....

II-

"Let's look at this case.... They have the murder weapon...A .40 caliber pistol, found in the dumpster behind the art gallery." said Ms. Yvette.

"If I just offed someone...Especially a cop...and I went to the trouble of bleaching the gun down to remove my prints and DNA....Why would I so callously toss it in the dumpster behind my gallery? It doesn't make sense." I said.

''We've got to hammer that home to a jury..we need a jury of rational thinkers." said Bee Bee.

"The Calloways both said that they had been working closely with Detective McCoullough , but we subpeonaed his records and there is no mention of any interaction with them in his records at all!"said Sofia.

"Either all references to them were erased or someone is dirty...an inside guy, who needed them to be the fall guy for this." said Kahlil.

"He didn't have a partner did he? He was working alone."I said.

"Jade said that her contact told her about a guy named Oswald Burpee...

He's a suspected fence..She said Robbery -Homicide  and the Criminal Investigation Division have been watching this guy for months. He Fences High end merch...No cheap stuff...Only the highest price stuff...Artwork, Jewelry,et al...If the artwork  stolen from the Calloways was worth millions...Chances are , a thief would take it to him and he'd get a price for it...He lives in an expensive condo in town...He moves alone and in silence...And he doesn't deal with a lot of people , so it's been hard to get an undercover near him... The cops were able to clone one of his phones and they know that he was talking to someone, someone they weren't able to identify about some artwork...Artwork he said was hot...Artwork he said he was going to look for a buyer for outside of Philly... The FBI. was alerted.. He had someone giving him information...disturbing information , Information only law enforcement would be privy to...They never found the Mole.. but they strongly suspect the mole might have been the recently murdered Detective McCoulough....They just couldn't prove it! "said Yvette.

"If McCoullough was the mole , then he had to be working with someone else...Someone who decided to cut out the middle man..."said Bee Bee..

"But that has nothing to do with the Calloways...We all agree that they were the fall guys..."said Sofia.

''Gary and I are their alibi's..We were there...We heard the shots...Both Calloways were in the room with us..We can testify to that.. we also want to know how Lieutenant Tragg got on to that gun.." asked Yvette.

''How does he always get on to something.? An anonymous tip." laughed Kahlil..

We all broke out into raucous laughter...

Halfway across town in the condo of one of our former clients, Ex-Judge ,Pinkney Bach..

Judge Julie Wong and Pinkney are enjoying a very rare afternoon together at his condo...He's been out of work for a few weeks and Judge Wong was off for the day..

"I'm so glad you could spend the afternoon with me Julie." he said.. Since they had first made love ,He hadn't been able to get her out of his mind...He called her everyday, sometimes three times a day..

She couldn't believe he had feelings for her at all...Especially sexual feelings for her..She was simply amazed and totally enjoying the sex she was having with him...

They were sitting on his couch, kissing like two teenagers....She had unzippered his trousers and was softly rubbing his penis, which was as hard as a brick...and huge, she observed..

He unhooked her bra and slipped her panties off....

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh Judge Bach, you are fresh.." she giggled..

She eased herself down on him and gasped....."OUUUUUUUUUUUU YOU ARE SOOO DAMNNN BIG!" she said..

She slowly began to move up and down on him and give him the softest kisses...He didn't know if he was coming or going...

She straddled him and began to move up and down on him, riding him like a surfer rides the waves and experiencing not one, not two, but several intense orgasms...her legs quivering, her head moving from side to side..

They eventually wound up in his bedroom where they made crazy love for the next NINE TO TEN HOURS...

Afterwords , After a nice hot shower together and getting dressed, Judge Wong looked at her watch..They were sitting on his living room couch talking...

"I've got to go....Pinkney....You are a very nice young man, but you take up a lot of a girl's time..I've got to review this upcoming case before me..I understand you know the attorneys defending the two people , a husband and wife , Matthew and Vanessa Calloway..

accused of killing that detective.. The State doesn't have much of a case.

Lead Attorney, Yvette Jones-Lockwood, She's represented you three times...A Sexual Assault Case and two murder trials..My you've been a busy man!

Attorneys Keith and Beatrice Jones....They just recently married...They've been in my court together and seperately...I really like them..,

And Sofia Garcia Ahmed and her husband, Kahlil Ahmed...They too have been in my courtroom together and seperately...

I hated to rule against them...and any other time I wouldn't have..They're always polite, always well prepared for trial..and always very knowledgable.. But you can't release cop killers, even perceived cop killers out on bail...It doesn't make you too popular with the police, who you have to work with and there are all kinds of nuts out there who might take a shot at them...For  their own safety, I'm keeping them locked up.." said Julie Wong.

"I know them all quite well...They have acted as my attorneys in those three big cases. As a Judge, I understand your position too. It's the way we have to do business..  Those two were arrested by that boob Lt. Tragg...If he handled the case the way he handled mine...Yvette and her young associates won't have any problems getting an acquittal...They'll probably solve the case for him too!

Their investigator, Jade Lee is a hell of a better detective than Lt. Tragg on any given day of the week.."said Pinkney...

"You need a job! I just love the way you analyzed that situation. Perhaps I can get you a position in the D.A.'s office, you were an ADA once."said Julie Wong.

"I submitted an application there and a few other places...I expect to be working soon..." said Pinkney...

"But thanks for looking out for me.." he said and kissed her softly....

He pulled her to him...

"In the meanwhile...Let me work you like a job.." he whispered as he took her in his arms and they began to kiss again on his couch...

"Ouuuuuuuu Pinkneyy.....Ohhhhhhhhhhh I can't screw you all day like this in the middle of the week,

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Pinkneyyyyyyy...OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she moaned.

She was a good six or seven years older than him and yet, he felt so good with her, so comfortable.

"Ouuuuuuu, we are going to wind up back in bed and I really should be going." she said.

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHH PINKNEYYYYY, OUUUUUUUUU!!!" she moaned.

 Within a few minutes, they both wound up back in bed...Making sweet love....and against her better judgement and wishes, she wound up spending the night.

III-

Jade's gun was returned to her...

"Thanks Guys..." she said.. She had a copy of the Autopsy report with her.. Just as she was about to walk out she ran into him..

''Wellllll look who it is.. THE SURVIVOR!!!!" he smirked...blocking her way....

"Have you found out anything new involving the investigation?" she asked..

"Nothing that will help your clients....They're going to death row..Hahahahahahaha! They killed a cop."

said Detective Schlapp.

"So That means you've found nothing..." said Jade..

"You haven't either or you'd be sharing it with me....I'd hate to bring you in for withholding evidence..

Heh ,Heh , heh!" he laughed.

"I'd hate for you to bring me anywhere....Now if you don't mind...You're blocking my way Detective."said Jade, who was unafraid and unmoved by Detective Schlapp and he knew it.

''Everything alright Jade?" I asked.

Kahlil stood behind me..

''Why wouldn't she alright? She's with a cop." snarled Detective Schlapp..

"I believe I asked her." I said.

"I believe you'd better adjust your attitude counselor.." said Detective Schlapp..

"Seems to me the only one here with the attitude is you." said Kahlil...

"What are these , your bodyguards? Two lawyers....Hahahahahahahahahahahaha."he laughed.

"Get out of my way." said Jade, who pushed past him and walked out with the two of us by her side..

"HA! Bodyguards....HAhAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!" laughed Detective Schlapp! 

Jade ,Kahlil and I returned to the office...

"Hey guys...I got my gun back and the Autopsy Report you asked for.." said Jade.."I also got some 

Street Cam Photos and Business cam photos from across the way from the night of the murder also."said Jade.

''We ran into Detective Asshat and I'm not talking about Lieutenant Tragg." I said.

"He was trying to hassle Ms. Jade." said Kahlil..

''Well while you were gone...I got an anonymous tip also."said Ms. Yvette, which meant it was from Gary , her husband in the D.A.'s office.

"Apparently this Fence...This Russian guy..Oswald Burpee.

received several calls from a burner phone around and after both thefts....and that is in McCoullough's notes.. "said Yvette.

"The calls then stopped, then there was a call made yesterday....Two calls from  the same burner phone to Oswald Burpee..."said Bee Bee.

"Here is where it gets cute...."said Sofia. " A call was made from that burner phone to the phone of Matt Kelm, the guy who tried to kill you Jade."said Sofia.

''Find who is on the other end of that Burner Phone and we find our killer." said Jade.

"Exactly!" laughed Yvette.

IV-

The next morning we sat in a booth at Sam Mother's Diner, having breakfast..

We all decided to have Sam's special...Steak and Eggs breakfast 

and steaming hot coffee..

"You know I keep threatening to stop eating in here because of the constant harassment by certain cops,but I can't...The food is so damn good." said Bee Bee.

"It is and I'm not going to let annoying cops keep me from it." I said.

'And speaking of Annoying people...Look who just walked in."said Sofia.

"Ohhhh hell."said Kahlil...

It was Lieutenant Tragg, but for once, he didn't come anywhere near our table.. That's because he saw ADA Diane Baronski siting by herself, drinking coffee..

"Well good morning my esteemed Assistant District Attorney" he said, all teeth.

"Good Morning Lieutenant...Did you recanvass that crime scene like I asked and did you get any new evidence ?" she asked.

'I'll revisit it today...but look...You've got all you need to put those two on death row for killing that cop!" said Lt. Tragg.

"Just go back over it please!" she said.

Detective Schlapp walked in..he saw us and walked over to our table..

He saw that all four of us had Sam Mother's special, Steak and Eggs with Hash Browns

Hot Coffee

He checked Bee Bee out..

He looked at me and Kahlil and laughed.

He smiled at Sofia..

''Do you four do everything together? I mean you sit together, you order the same thing for breakfast...

You live next door to each other...Uh What else do you do together? Heh heh heh!" he laughed.

''I'll tell you what they don't do...They don't entertain fools like you. Get away from their table and leave them alone." said Ms. Yvette, who had just walked in...

"Lawyer Lady....Did uh anyone ever tell you, you've got the most shapely and beautiful breasts... If it wasn't for this case, maybe...just maybe we wouldn't have to be enemies...Know what I'm sayin.??.Heh ,heh, heh." he laughed and went to place his hands on Ms. Yvette's breasts..

''Have you lost your mind? Don't you ever put your hands on me again! My husband will kill you!"said Yvette.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhh you're married eh?  Well I can be discreet!  Heh heh heh, know what I'm sayin?

heh, heh , heh!!!" he laughed.. His laughter was cut short..

Gary put his arm behind his back..and squeezed ...

"AGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! HEYYYYYYY!!" he yelled in excrutiating pain....

Gary spun him around and slammed him down hard into a chair , near another table.. several customers saw it and gawked..

Gary pulled his glock and placed the barrel on his chin..

"THAT'S MY WIFE LAUGHING BOY!!! TALK DISRESPECTFUL TO HER AGAIN AND I'LL KILL YOU!!! GOT IT!!!" snarled Gary...

Detective Schlapp didn't realize that Yvette was married to D.A. investigator ,Gary Lockwood.. but he now knew and was so frightened, he urinated on himself.. He didn't utter a word!

Lt. Tragg, ironically , the voice of reason spoke softly to Gary..

"Gary...Okay...Okay...put that gun away...I'll handle this...It's cool. I got this.." he said.

"Schlapp, OUT!!! YOU'RE EATING SOMEWHERE ELSE TODAY!!!! OUT!!!! And..and change your pants....Geeeeeeeeez!" said Lt. Tragg...Disgusted that one of his men had urinated on himself.

Embarrassed and physically shaken, Detective Schlapp got up, wet trousers and all and ran out of the restaurant....nearly in tears!!!!

"Bert, get a mop up here....Mop that floor and remove that chair...Gotta have it fumigated...For cryin out loud!" said Sam Mother...

Ms. Jade walked in just then...

"WHAT DID I MISS?" she asked.
