VENTURES: Head To Toes

Two Orders of fried eggs were plopped down on the counter..along with Hash browns, Sausage and Coffee..

Two men getting the exact same thing was indeed interesting..

One was Former District Attorney and candidate for States Attorney, Bryce Barnes , he was nursing a hangover... Today the Federal Trial of his opponent Tanya Mosley began on charges , he secretly leaked to the Federal Government.. He hadn't counted on her hiring the Big Guns she had hired.. Yvette Jones -Lockwood and her attorneys and noted attorneys Olivia Bennett-Alexander and her crew.

They were heavy hitters and at this very moment appearing in court...

with his nemesis..States Attorney Tanya Mosely, their client

and that queer attorney of hers..Alvin Davis.

Mosley had an Army of Attorneys...How was she footing the bill?

He was worried.. even though Assistant U.S. Attorney William Strong.

was good, damn good... He had lost to Olivia and Beverly and their team recently and had had trouble with two other local attorneys in seperate cases.

He worried about well Bill Strong would do against these two teams of attorneys, one team who had beaten him before and that annoying Alvin Davis...He had drank himself into a stupor the night before and had slept in his car in the parking lot of Curleys..

He had awakened this morning and driven to Sam Mothers for breakfast..

The Person sitting next to him was Lt. Arthur Tragg of Homicide.. Both of his eyes were black and swollen nearly shut.. His lip was swollen one of his cheeks was purple..He had clearly been in a fight and from the looks of things ,had gotten the worst of it..

He looked up at Bryce..

"Damn Bryce..You smell like a saloon..What did you do bathe in Tequilla? He asked...

''Damn Artie, you look like you got kicked in the face by a mule." said Bryce Barnes.

Sam Mother laughed at both men as he took their empty plates...

At this moment.. We were gathered in the courtroom at three defense tables with our client.

We had gotten there early and were prepared..

Tanya Mosley smiled and was confident..she waved at the Press as she entered court..

Attorney Alvin Davis smiled and waved at the press..

U.S. Attorney Bill Strong entered the courtroom.. He was not alone.. He had a team too! We knew about his team.. He had someone watching us..We had someone watching him.

Jeff Abrams, A Noted U.S. Attorney who was an expert at Political crimes was on his team..Harvard Educated. Donnie Ray had seen him hanging around Bill Strong and had snapped a few photos of him and got a run down on him.

Karen Sysma , a U.S. Attorney, Yale Educated , who like Jeff Abrams was an expert in prosecuting political crimes..neither of these people had ever lost a case..

Jade Lee had seen her meeting with Bill Strong and had snapped photos of her.

Rounding out the team was young attorney Rachel Valentine, a spitfire who couldn't wait to do battle with Olivia and Beverly and Yvette and her team as well...She had followed their careers and next to Bee Bee was an expert... She was Georgetown Educated.. She thought they were brilliant, but had won their share of cases and due for a fall. Donnie Ray and Jade had seen her hanging around Bill Strong..

Neither Olivia , nor Yvette liked to be surprised by anything in court.. Both had great investigators who made sure of that...

We had gone to a small courtroom in Camden again and had mock trials for the past three days leading up to this trial..

Jazzy, Kayla, Ray and Dabnis took turns playing prosecutors and had fun really giving it to us..

Even ADA Rockland Cambridge, who we had actually gone up against before got into the game...he was the best and the hardest on us.. We appreciated his help.

Bresha's husband, Tony Billips, an attorney himself sat on the mock jury..He was absorbing everything..It was a learning experience..

Jessica and Chip also sat in on our Mock Jury...

We brought our office managers, Alfreda and Virginia, who hit it off quite famously....to serve on the mock jury too...We took nothing for chance..

Afterwords we loaded up our two buses and ventured into Camden.. Donnie Ray knew of a great Soul Food Joint..

where we We chowed down afterwords.

We had taken nothing to chance..We had prepared as well as we could and we were as ready for trial as we possibly could be.

Judge John Bedford was the Judge presiding over the trial... he was amazed at how many lawyers were in the courtroom...

He expected this to be a great battle.

You could cut the tension with a knife!

II-

Kahlil and I took center stage with the "Master" Nelson East....who even Ms. Yvette, herself, a master of Voir Dire was impressed by..

The three of us were a three piece juggernaut....

We were up against their attorney Rachel Valentine.. She was good, I'll give her credit.. but no match for Nelson, Kahlil or me..

The first two days we picked 7 jurors that we liked over her 2...

The third day we picked the final 3 jurors.

Total 10 jurors we wanted , 2 she really wanted...

Olivia, Ms. Yvette, Beverly, Bee Bee and Sofia smiled brightly and nodded their approval...

Alvin Davis stood up and clapped which brought the entire courtroom to laughter...

Judge Bedford wasn't so thrilled..

"Mr. Davis please contain your exuberance...Alright..We have a Jury...Trial begins tomorrow morning at 8:30 am...Be on time and be prepared for trial." he said.

''What is it with this guy and these early courtroom dates?" said Beverly..

"I know right?" said an equally angered Bee Bee.

"Because the World's Greatest Detective is back, we can't even get breakfast.." said Sofia.

''Says Who? He doesn't own Sam Mother's Diner.. I'm a little tired of always having him stand over our table when we are tryig to eat and always tip toeing around him."said Nelson.

''We all are, but no one wants to come to trial angry and upset." said Josie.

"You guys do know there is a nice cafeteria in this building don't you?" I said.

"Yeah..Let's meet at 7:00 am. " said Kahlil..

''Yeah, we can take the train or do you guys want to carpool? I can bring Josie, Bev and Nelson." said Bresha.

"Let's get a good night sleep and catch the train at 6:30." said Beverly..

"Sounds like a plan."said Bee Bee.

"Young people and their energy." laughed Olivia.

"I know right? That was us a few years ago."said Yvette laughing..

''A Mighty few years ago." Donnie Ray, who was a year older than Olivia, Yvette and Jade reminded them. Both Olivia and Yvette laughed in agreement.

Jade just smiled..

THAT NIGHT-

Judge Jetty Dukes rang her apartment doorbell.

She hadn't seen him in four days...Since he'd knocked Lt. Tragg cold for bothering her..

''Hi." she said. She was glad to see him.. He was glad to see her..

They kissed passionately at the door.. She could feel the bulge in his trousers...He was as hard as a baseball bat..

"Come in...Don't stand out in the hallway.." she whispered..

''Did you get the flowers I sent?" he asked.

"Yes...I got em.. I get them all...You send me flowers everytime we uh....Well you know." she said. and giggled.

"I appreciate how you make me feel.. I-I haven't felt this way in a long time.. I know I'm not your man and we kind of have a no strings attached type thing...which is cool..but uh ,I care about you..I care for you...I'm always gonna look out for you...I'm not going to let anybody hurt you...And I'm just glad you're surrounded by good people who appear to be taking care of you." said Jetty Dukes.

He had the utmost respect for both Olivia and Yvette and the people around them both..They had tried cases in his court and in front of the Legal Ethics board..They were both good Attorneys and they had trained a whole cadre of good lawyers..They took Virginia in with no judgement and were taking good care of her.. Not just with employment.. but with genuine friendship and fellowship.. She was always telling him of something she did with them outside of work, Shopping, getting a mani -pedi, new hair do, Taking her on the Mock Trials in Jersey, Having Diner with Sofia,Kahlil, Bee Bee and me , Jessica,Chip, Jade and Danny a few nights before.. The works.. He knew she was alright with them..That's why he clocked Lt, Tragg for trying to make her feel guilty and bad.. She had done her time, she had been disbarred after a distinguished career..She had paid her dues and suffered enough.

"Stop before you make me cry....I was gonna give you some...You had me at I care about you..I kind of know.." she joked, tearing up a bit..

"I'm serious baby.."said Jetty...

"I know you are.." she whisperd..

They kissed passionately.......

She took him by the hand and led him to her bedroom...

They continued kissing....

He undressed her slowly...

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MYYYYYYYYY GODDDDDDDD!" he gasped...unhooking her bra and slipping her panties off..

''Are these new?"he asked.

"Believe it or not.. I had panties and bras before I got locked up. YOU just weren't privy to them!" she laughed..

He bent her over the bed and entered her slowly...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU..." she moaned..

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MYYY GODDD, THIS IS SOOO DAMN GOOD, I CAN'T GET ENOUGH!" he hollered to the top of his lungs..

"OKAYYY, SHHHHHHHH..I HAVE NEIGHBORS." she laughed..

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM, I DON'T CARREEEEEEEE..." he moaned..

She laughed.. She loved the way she was turning him on...

They were on the floor going at it...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUU WOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU OUUUUUUUUUUUUU JETTTY....YOU ARE A BEAST!" she cried out..

After a while they were standing in the middle of the floor kissing passionately, while she was stroking

him slowly and softly...

"How does your boxers contain all of this?" she questioned him while softly stroking him, driving him crazy...

He lifted her up....and began long stroking her..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU YESSSSSSSSSSS....YESSSSSSSSS JETTY... YESSSSSS

BABYYYYY..OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU I LOVE YOUUUUUUUUUU!" she cried out..

"I-I LOVE YOU TOO!" he answered back..

She smiled at him...

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM YOU ARE ALL UP IN THIS!! AYE YI YIIIIIII, OUUUUUUUUUUU! I KNOW YOU LOVE THIS...UMMMMMM" she cooed loudly.

"I LOVE ALL OF YOU BABY...FROM YOUR HEAD TO YOUR TOES!" he yelled out.

This marked a change in their relationship. And they both knew it.

Jetty had a reputation as a womanizer, he didn't talk like this.. She had really done something to him..

He knew it and she knew it..

She rewarded him with a sloppy kiss..

He placed her on the dresser and pounded away, feeling so good , he couldn't believe himself..

Again she said it "OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU YESSSSSSSSSSS....YESSSSSSSSS JETTY... YESS BABYYYYY..OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU I LOVE YOUUUUUUUUUU!" she cried out..

"I-I LOVE YOU TOO!" he said again...

"ARE YOU MY MAN NOW?" she asked.. "OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU" she moaned as her body trembled.

"YES I AM... YESSSSSSSS I AM!" he shouted.. He was serious.

Neither one said anymore, They sat on the side of the bed and she moved up and down on him slowly and rewarded him with soft ,slow kisses...

She was sooo glad they were all going to be in court tomorrow ,because she was going to be late

the way she and Jetty were screwing.. NINE TO TEN HOURS later they both finally came.. Rather

he finally came..She had cum at least four times, maybe five..This man got on top of her and never wanted to stop it seemed.. He had been giving her bed a good workout ever since she got paroled..

The headboard had already cracked a little and the legs seemed like they might give at any minute.

She got up to go to the bathroom and to get a bottle of cold water...She could hardly walk after the hurting he had put on her...She felt good...better than she had in years..

She felt good, she fell asleep on his chest...He put his arms around her.....He palmed her butt..

"You are so nasty." she whispered and laughed as they drifted off to sleep..

III-

The Federal Trial of States Attorney Tanya Mosley began.....The Press and Media was kept out, but they camped outside the courtroom everyday..

Judge Bedford was as excited as a Super Bowl Fan.. He loved a good legal battle and this was set to be one.

U.S. Attorney Bill Strong was as good and as tenacious an Attorney as we'd ever faced.. He came prepared as we did.. and actually the case he prepared was better than I at least had expected..

His assistant Attorney, Jeff Abrams was good ,damn good...Had never lost a case.

He promised to make ''Short work of these snot nosed kids."

Karen Sysma was equally talented..

Rachel Valentine reminded me of us, Bee Bee, Sofia, Kahlil and me when we first began trying cases..

They laid out a case that looked pretty damning over Three days...

But that was why we prepared so hard.

Lead Attorney Alvin Davis was more than up to the task and so grateful to be bolstered by

and the brain trust that included..

Me, Keith Jones, Nelson East, My wife, Bee Bee, Beverly West-East, Sofia Garcia-Ahmed, Josie Boyd,

Kahlil Ahmed , Bresha Billips Jade Lee and Donnie Ray

This trial was covered by FOX News, MSNBC, CNN ,ABC, CBS, NBC...all of the national news outlets.

A Big deal was made out of the fact that we were young and people of color, African American, Latina Asian and Arab..and that the lead Attorney was a Black Gay man.,and battling so well against older more established Attorneys.. We were tearing apart all of their witnesses on cross examination and presenting a dissenting argument for every argument they posted. We had prepared well, surprised by nothing.

We were all enjoying ourselves...

Attorney Rachel Valentine was enjoying it too and even shared a joke or two with us during recesses.

We liked her.. We liked her a lot.

Bill Strong and Jeff Abrams didn't like the chummy cordial relationship Rachel Valentine had built with us and they fired her the day before they closed their case..

They had laid their case out in SIX DAYS!

Now was our turn!.

For the first THREE DAYS of the defense.. Olivia and Beverly and their crew ran the defense.. It was text book defense.. They presented Tanya's ex-boyfriend who came with proof that he paid for their trip to Cancun and several witnesses with receipts proving that the money was taken out of HER 401 K account, technically making it her money and used to pay some medical bills and utility bills during a particularly bad period in her personal and medical life. Their witnessess were coached well by both Nelson and Olivia and were unimpeachable during cross examination.

For the next THREE DAYS, Ms. Yvette and myself, Bee Bee, Sofia and Kahlil ran the defense.. Like Olivia and Beverly, it was a text book defense..

We kept Jeff Abrams and Karen Sysma tied up in legal knots.....Just as Olivia and Beverly had once again frustrated Lead Attorney Bill Strong.. We brought up Abrams and Bill Strong's contribution to Royce Barnes's campaign.. and again dared them to prove that any of the money taken was used for anything untoward and we argued.. It's HER MONEY...Not the City of Philadelphia. We even showed that she had been paying the account back in increments for the past few months.

Bill Strong was showing signs of stress and anger..He tossed his suit jacket up in the air in frustration everyday after dealing with all of us.. The trial was not going the way he had planned it..

Lead Attorney Alvin Davis made Bill Strong

so angry asking him about his relationship with Royce Barnes and the huge contribution he made to his campaign..that Baillifs had to come between them twice during the THREE DAYS they faced off against each other..

He may have been frustrated with Both Olivia and Ms. Yvette and their teams..

but he had a mutual respect for us all and had no personal ill feelings against us at all, He thought we all were very good attorneys and investigators, who he might use one day.

Alvin Davis, on the other hand, he personally despised and wanted to rip his head off.

AFTER FIFTEEN DAYS, The trial was over.. Both sides made their final arguments and rested their cases..

Now it was up to a jury to decide on Tanya Mosley's innocence..

She appeared before the press..

"I believe ,if you've been watching the trial, my attorneys more than proved my innocence and poked holes all through the government's case..I can't wait to be vindicated..And after I am, the person responsible for this whole thing.. Attorney Royce Barnes will answer some questions himself in a court of law.. I have sued him for this and other slander." said States Attorney Tanya Mosley

as cameras snapped and questions were asked.

Lead Attorney Alvin Davis spoke to the press..

"It was a long and hard fought battle...I had some great attorneys working by my side.. Olivia Bennett-Alexander and her Associates and Yvette Jones-Lockwood and her associates.. I'd go to war with these two teams any day...They are fabulous and worth any price paid for them...I mean it.. They're the absolute best... Together we took this farce of a trial, this kangaroo court apart like a surgeon." the flamboyant attorney said.

We all stood behind them smiling, but we didn't comment at all..

The U.S. Attorneys refused to comment to the media.

"Counting their chickens before they're hatched wouldn't you say?" asked Jeff Abrams.

''Yes, I'd say.." said Bill Strong softly,..

"They were damn good.. Most of em are PENN graduates.. PENN is turning out some damn good attorneys...wow! They were well prepared...I mean nothing surprised them, nothing rattled them.. I wish I was that polished when I was their age, just starting out.." said Karen Sysma, who was more than impressed with all of us.

''They're NOT just starting out..With the exception of one of them, who passed the bar last year, the rest of them have been practicing for at least four years or more and they've been mentored by two veteran defense attorneys their entire careers.." snarled Bill Strong.

Royce Barnes stood in the crowd...He had attended the trial everyday and he was worried..Really worried that the government had blown it..

Lt. Tragg also stood in the crowd.. Biggest case of the year so far and he had nothing to do with it..

He felt left out... He was certain the FEDS had made their case... He was certain his "favorite " people were going to suffer a heartbreaking loss.

Yvette had told Virginia she could close up the office early today...Today was the day we rested our case.

She did and Jetty Dukes

who had spent the night and taken off work was there when she got home..

He Had her undressed in record time..

and had her legs in the air and panties on the floor in record time!~

IV-

THREE DAYS LATER-

This trial had been long enough.. FIFTEEN DAYS and now after a three day deliberation, we were back in court..

They had asked a number of questions, which had me nervous..

but both Olivia and Ms. Yvette said that that was a good sign that the jury had paid attention.

These two women were like my sexy big sisters...It was a privilege to be mentored by them both.

Judge Bedford addressed the Jury Foreman , who was one of the two jurors that Rachel Valentine had chosen.

"Has the jury come to a decision?" he asked.

"Yes your honor, we have."

"Baillif bring me the verdict" he instructed..

He read the verdict..then passed it to the Bailiff

"THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA FINDS TANYA ELAINE MOSLEY NOT GUILTY OF ALL CHARGES!" he read!

"THANK YOU JESUSSSSSSSS!" screamed Tanya Mosley...

"BABYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!! WE PULLED IT THE HELL OUT!" said a jubilant Alvin Davis, pumping his fists and hugging and kissing Tanya.

Ms. Yvette pumped her fist and then was photographed doing the cabbage patch...

I cracked up laughing...

"Oh My God, I couldn't sleep last night..I was kind of worried."said a relieved Bee Bee.

"Girrrrrrrrrl me too! I wanted to call you." said Sofia.

"We'll all sleep good tonight."said Ms. Yvette.

"Yeah mannnn!" said Kahlil

"Ouuuuuu weeeeeeeee Glad this one is over." said Ms. Jade.

"Me too!" said Donnie Ray.

Olivia and Beverly high fived each other...They were photographed leaping into the air high fiving each other.

Nelson and Josie leaped into the air and high fived each other too...

And they both high fived Bresha...

The Press ate it up ,snapping photos and laughing..It's good to be in the winners circle.

Karen Sysma walked over and shook all of our hands, congratulating us on a job well done.. "If you're ever in D.C. look me up." she said. She was a good sport.

Bill Strong and Jeff Abrams weren't so magnanimous.. Both men hated losing..And they walked out of the courthouse quietly from the side exit..got in a waiting UBER and headed for the train station, they didn't wait for Karen Sysma.

"PARTY AT CURLEYS TONIGHT!!!! CURLEY HAS ALREADY RESERVED A SPACE FOR US!" said a jubilant Tanya Mosley, exonerated and vindicated at last.

Royce Barnes was sick to his stomach... He had gone too far with this accusation... He had lost and this and the fiasco at the dinner made him look like he was smearing her.... He was already way behind in the polls as it was.

THAT NIGHT AT CURLEY'S BAR

Tanya Mosley knew how to throw a party..Three Cold cut trays with bread ,mustard and mayo for sandwiches and a tray of Barbecued Buffalo Wings.. She had asked Olivia's office manager Alfreda to get in contact with her caterer two days before the verdict came back, She was so confident we had won the case.

Alfreda's caterer friend provided The three Cold Cut Trays and the Barbecued Wing Trays...

Beer and Drinks courtesy of Curleys... Cold Cut Trays and Wings courtesy of Alfreda's caterer friend..

This was not paid for out of Public funds in case someone was going to ask.. Our MCCP corporate card and Olivia's corporate card paid for the food and drinks and the reservation of the space for the private party. We had 21 tables set aside for our party...

"Eat Up, Eat Up...You guys deserved it.."said Alvin Davis, who stood and clapped and bowed his head.

We all laughed and stood and clapped for him,

"I love yall, all of yall and if any of you need a favor...You have a friend in me." said States Attorney Tanya Mosley...Always good to know.

The whole crew was here, Gary and Yvette, Me and Bee Bee, Sofia and Kahlil, Jade and Danny Ho,

Olivia and Donnie Ray, Beverly and Nelson, Josie and Paris, Bresha and Tony,Kayla and Ray, Jazzy and Dabnis , Jessica and Chip and Alfreda and ADA Rockland Cambridge...

We weren't worried about Lt. Tragg tonight ...Our area was roped off...It was a private party...Others had done this.

"I do hope Virginia comes...I invited her." said Yvette...

Lt. Tragg walked up just then, The swelling in his face had gone down and he was heavily made up to cover the rest of the damage done to his face.. He looked at all the food and drink and scanned the crowd.. All of his "Favorite" people. He was disgusted that they had won the big trial and were about to sue his friend Royce Barnes. He was angry that Curley had allowed them to rope off an entire area and have all of this food and drink there just for them, despite the fact that other people do this all the time.. Have private parties.

"Hopefully this little shindig isn't on the Public dime." he said sarcastically..

"If you must know.. My Caterer delivered this food..We paid for it.. just like we paid for the drinks up front.Tanya had nothing to do with the financing of it..Not that that is any of your business..Now could you go? "said Alfreda, disgusted at the insinuations of impropriety.

Naturally it was if she had said nothing..He stood right there defiantly staring and glaring at us... None of us was paying any attention to him tonight..We were eating and drinking and laughing and talking as if he wasn't there.. Our section was roped off, so he couldn't come inside and get into anybody's face...

"There's my girl.." said Yvette, ignoring Lt. Tragg. Virginia Shaw came in with Judge Jetty Dukes.

They were holding hands.

It had been a few weeks since he had had his face pounded in by Judge Jetty Dukes.. He stared at him with a seething hatred... He couldn't believe Virginia Shaw, once a distinguished Attorney and a former Assistant District Attorney, Disbarred and convicted of Second Degree Murder was paroled after 7 years and WORKING, WORKING at Yvette's law firm as her office manager..a big step down from the huge paydays she used to command. but seemingly very content, very happy. He just shook his head.

Judge Jetty Dukes, who he once arrested and charged with murder was definitely in her corner.

"Hi Yvette, this is uh Jetty Dukes, my special friend."said Virginia.

"Yvette and Olivia know me." said Jetty, laughing.. He briefly stared at Lt. Tragg, the man he had recently clocked in Sam Mother's Diner..

Both he and Virginia walked right past Lt. Tragg as if he weren't there.

"Yes, quite well.. "said Yvette smiling as she opened the rope and allowed Virginia and Judge Dukes in..

We all smiled and clapped as they came in..

"GOOD BYE LIEUTENANT!" said Yvette as she closed the rope up and walked back to her table, where someone passed her a hot wing...

No One was paying any attention to Lt. Tragg at all. We were all eating and drinking...This was one night he couldn't get anybody upset or angry...

Naturally he stood there seething..

"I AM SURE WITH ALL THIS DRINKING YOU ALL WILL NOT BE DRIVING WHEN YOU LEAVE!" he bellowed loudly...

"Olivia has two buses ,which will be here at closing.. Which brought us all down here.. Nobody is driving." explained Gary...

"You don't have to explain anything to him... THIS IS A PRIVATE PARTY, GET OUT OF HERE!"snarled Alvin Davis..

"You're cruisin for a fat lip buddy." snarled Lt. Tragg, who was certain he could take the little gay man, he thought..

''Come on Artie, leave them alone." said Curley, pulling Lt. Tragg away..

He walked away, seething at our party.

"I'm not bothering anybody Curls..I was just having a conversation with some of them." he explained.

He sat at a table and ordered several beers. Staring at our area...Watching us eat and drink.

THREE HOURS LATER, while downing a fifth cold beer , he noticed a familliar face walking in and sitting down by herself.

He recognized Assistant District Attorney Leslie Chance sitting across the bar..

He naturally invited himself to her table.

"Well hello Counselor.. I haven't seen you in about a month... How are you? What are you drinking?" he asked.

"You can't sit here!!!.. I'm expecting company..Look, it's 1:30.My company and I just came in here to get a cold drink to take the edge off...Please some other time.. Just leave.." she said.

"Company is here baby. I'm here to take the edge off your panties." he laughed as he snaked his hand up her tight skirt..rubbing her legs.. She removed his hands.

"You don't listen to people do you? You can not sit with me.. My company is feeding the meter, He'll be in shortly." she said..

He totally ignored her and snaked his hand up her skirt again, tugging at the waste band of her sheer,silky panties and accidentally ripping them...AGAIN!

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she screamed out, He had torn her panties again!~ She slapped him so hard, he fell out of his chair and hit the floor.

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUF!" he groaned..

Just as he was getting up..

Dr. Colgate, her date for the night...who Olivia and Beverly had recently defended walked up..

"YOU ASSHOLE.... DID YOU HAVE YOUR HANDS UNDER HER DRESS AGAIN?" he asked and then

Hit Lt. Tragg with 17 lefts and 17 rights to his face...then hit him in his stomach and then a right cross to his jaw that sent him sailing into a couples table and hitting the floor with two pitchers of beer splashing on him,,,

Dr. Colgate was furious...

You know of course our table howled with laughter..

For some of us... It was the second time seeing him get pasted within a few weeks.

Donnie Ray, Gary , Lt. Danny Ho and Rockland attempted to help him up off of the floor

"I DON'T NEED ANY HELP FROM YOU....GO ON BACK TO YOUR FUNKY PARTY!" he yelled at the four of them..And so they did..Snickering the whole time. Lt.Tragg got up off the floor and was a bloody mess..His hair was going in every direction.. His suit jacket was torn..His shirt was out of his pants...both of his eyes were once again nearly swollen shut..

his cheeks were swollen and his lip was even bigger now than it had been, His nose was bleeding profusely.. He was livid and ready to charge at Dr. Colgate, whom he despised.

"GET UP...GET UP SO I CAN FINISH PULVERIZING YOU...YOU PERVERT!" screamed Dr. Colgate.

"OH YEAH?? " snarled Lt. Tragg.

Curley was mortified.. He came in between the two men before they could get started fighting again and ushered Lt. Tragg out of the bar..

"Go Home Artie! Go Home!" said Curley...

Once again, his face was swollen...He was hardly recognizable..

The whole bar was laughing and cheering ..The noise level was incredible, especially at our group of tables. There wasn't a dry eye at the bar..Everyone was laughing until they were crying..

Curley bought both tables that had lost beer, Two pitchers on the house.. His guys cleaned the blood and beer off the floor immediately..

"Lt. Tragg really knows how to bring it out in people doesn't he?" sighed Olivia..

"Don't he though?" said her best friend, Yvette who scanned our tables..Everybody was laughing and pounding their fists on the table ,even their husbands...The kids were bad enough...

We had all made short work of the cold cut trays and the wings..They were all gone.. As were most of the drinks..

Virginia looked at them both and just shook her head..

"Everything I missed in prison." she sighed and smiled..

The three women laughed......

At 2;00 AM

Everybody loaded up on the two buses that were going to take us home..

States Attorney Tanya Mosley had a driver come pick her and Alvin up..

But Jetty Dukes wanted to take Virginia home in his car..

He spotted Lt. Tragg in the parking lot, still nursing his wounds...Seemingly waiting for a reason to follow somebody and charge them with a DUI.. It wasn't fair...A lot of people in that bar had been drinking and would be headed home.

Not wanting any trouble, Virginia talked Jetty into taking a bus home with her.. They could come pick his car up in the morning she said.

"You're my man now...I'm protecting my investment.." she said, smiling..

''Lawwwd have mercy girl.." he moaned.

They sat in the back seat and kissed all the way home...It had been one hell of a night.

EPILOUGE-

States Attorney Tanya Mosley, Exonerated and Vindicated rode high in the polls, She would go on to win re-election as States Attorney.

Her personal Attorney, Alvin Davis met with Royce Barnes and his attorney...

Barnes agreed to drop out of the race altogether if the Libel and Slander suit was dropped. The Suit was dropped and he dropped out of the race....

One Saturday, Olivia and Yvette dropped by Virginia's apartment..

"This is soooooo nice..."said Olivia.

"Beautiful apartment Virginia."said Yvette..

Virginia's bed room door was open..She had meant to close it. They saw her bed.

The bed was broken down.. The Headboard was split in half and all four legs had snapped off..

''Ummmmmmmm Hmmmmmm..She said she wasn't doin nothing to poor Jetty...."said Yvette.

"I know right? Trying to sound all innocent... "I'm not doing anything to him.. She's got poor Jetty's head spinning.. He doesn't know if he's coming or going.. Knocking out guys over her..and what not."joked Olivia as both she and Yvette laughed loudly and heartily...

''I'm so embarrassed.....I needed one of you to take me to get a new bed....

''Girrrrrrl don't even be embarrassed.. Me and Donnie Ray have broken down three beds...One in New Orleans, One in Atlantic City and one at our home." said Olivia.

"That's because she wears short skirts like this with orange hooker heels with her fresh ass..gets her husband all excited.."joked Yvette... " We haven't broken down as many beds as OLIVIA!!" Yvette said, "But we broke a bed in an Air BNB in Bayside... and we broke our old bed at home...."laughed Yvette.
