II-

PHILADELPHIA PA.

THE OFFICE OF ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY, ROCKLAND CAMBRIDGE-

"Wow if I didn't know better...I'd say this was out of a movie." said one of the crime scene investigators..

The man had a neat hole in his forehead and two holes in his chest.....and a wet fish in his mouth...He was laying in the middle of the floor and his lifeless eyes were staring at the ceiling...

Deputy Coroner ,Dr. Marcy Martin was looking at the body...She had on latex gloves and a thermomenter...

''Hmmmmm from body temperature , he's been dead all night..Six or seven hours...and from the lack of blood on the floor...I'd guess he was killed somewhere else and dumped here." she said.

"But how?? With the security in this joint how could someone do that and not be seen?" asked a CSI guy...

"Not my job to figure out.." said Dr. Marcy Martin...

"That's right it's my job...What have we got here?" asked Lt. Tragg...

"White male, mid thirties...Three gunshot wounds, one in the head and two to the chest and torso and uh ruh a fish in his mouth.."said one of the CSI guys...

"He's been dead at least six hours...according to body temperature..."said Dr. Marcy Martin..

''Where is Little Ms. Attitude, Dr. Hazel Baylor today? She sat this one out/" asked Lt. Tragg.

''She's Off today...She's at a wedding out of town."said Dr. Marcy Martin.

"On A Wednesday?? Amazing! Who is the dead guy?" asked Lt. Tragg.

'' His name is Bernard Kowalksi...He was uh ahh a confidential informant for the D.A.'s office... He had information on corruption in the D.A.'s Office." said Sgt. Brice.

"This is Rockland Cambridge's Office...I hate that prick...Where is he anyway?" asked Lt. Tragg...

"He's off today sir." said Sgt. Brice..

''Is that right ? Hmmmmmmmmmm....You got an address on him?" asked Lt. Tragg..

"I do...He just bought a new house...Here's the address." said Sgt. Brice.

"Oh he did huh? Interesting.." said Lt. Tragg.

Dr. Marcy Martin sighed.. "Here we go again...another wild goose chase." she whispered to one of the CSI guys...He smiled and nodded..

"Okayyyyy if you guys are done processing this crime scene.. Get him out of here...Get me the Autopsy report on my desk ASAP.." he said to Marcy...

As the body was put in a body bag, strapped to a gurney and carted out...

A little while later.. At Rockland's new home.. Lt. Tragg arrived in an unmarked police car, along with

three police cruisers and six uniformed policemen

''Doesn't look like anyone is at home Lieutenant.. Did you notice...He's around the corner from some of your favorite people...Olivia and Beverly and their crew, Yvette Jones and her crew and those other young lawyers?" said Sgt. Brice.

"Yeah, how about that??...Rockland buys a spanking brand new house...A co-operator is slain in his office, a co-operator who was talking about CORRUPTION IN THE D.A.'s office...Hmmmmmm." said Lt. Tragg.

"Awww come on Lieutenant....Rockland Cambridge is as straight as an arrow....You don't think he's involved in this do ya?" asked Sgt. Brice.

"I go where the evidence leads me..." said Lt. Tragg.

The Wedding and Reception was over.. Everyone had packed up and was headed back to Philadelphia.

Alfreda and Rockland were alone at last in their hotel room....Man and wife...Mr. And Mrs. Rockland Cambridge...

This was a day he thought would never come..

He couldn't take his eyes off of her..

Bridget, who couldn't attend the wedding had given her satin bikini panties and satin garters and hosiery

Rockland's eyes bulged out of his sockets.....

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW OH MY GODDDDDDD ALFREDA, COME HERE!" he said.

''See something you want?" she asked him seductively..

"YOU KNOW WHAT I WANT!" he moaned.

His eyes bulged out of it's sockets , watching her undress....She giggled....

They stood in the doorway, kissing passionately...

"Ohhhhh my god, you are sooo sexy.." he moaned..

"I'm flattered that you think so.,"Alfreda said , taking his clothes off and marveling about his size and girth..

"Oh My lord, you are HUGE!" she said.....It seemed as if he'd gotten bigger..

''Alfreda you know that..." he said shyly...

"Yeah I know...but....wouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" she exclaimed, putting her hands over her mouth...

''Alfreda, a lot of men think you're sexy...You don't see the way heads turn when you walk into a room sometimes." he said.

'I just need YOU to think so...Now come here. Handle this business." she whispered.

He tossed her on the bed...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Husssssssssssssssssssband.." she moaned... It felt good to say that..

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmph.."he groaned in his low baritone as the bed began to squeak and the headboard began to rattle..

''Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" she squealed..

"HEYYYY TONE IT DOWN IN THERE!"came a voice from next door..

They ignored him and kept making sweet love.. Rockland lifted her up!

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SWEEET BABY!!!" moaned Rockland. He hadn't seen her for a week until today... He had stayed in a hotel in Cherry Hill for a week.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU TALK TO ME DADDDDDDYYYYYY!!!!" cooed Alfreda, who missed him something terrible and was just as horny....He had spoiled her , screwing her brains out at least four nights out of a seven day week..

"QUIET THE NOISE!" came the voice from next door...He banged on the wall loudly...

but Rockland and Alfreda were totally oblivious..

They were back in the bed now, going at each other strongly.....

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMPH!" he groaned..

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOO HOOOOO, OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
OUUUU HOO HOO...OH MY GOD!!!! OUUUUWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! ''Alfreda screamed..

"QUIET THE NOISE....I"M CALLIN THE MANAGER!" screamed the man next door...He pounded on the wall a little harder..

His lights were flashing on and off now..

The bed was squeaking loud now and the headboard was slamming hard against the wall...

EIGHT TO NINE HOURS seemed to slowly drift by....

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM! OHHHH ROCKLAND, you aren't making any
damn sense! OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU Myyyy LAWD!"said Alfreda..

''OOOOOOOU..AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" moaned Rockland.. He had dreamed about her all week...

"KNOCK IT OFF IN THERE...QUIET THE NOISE!!" came the voice from next door and more pounding on the wall...

THREE TO FOUR MORE HOURS PASSED before Rockland came and came hard....and Alfreda's legs began to quiver and then shake...her head turned from side to side and tears streamed down the side of her face..She was crying like a little girl..

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH FOR THE LOVE OF PETE, WILL YOU TWO BE QUIET?" came the voice from next door...

Alfreda continued kissing Rockland and rubbing his penis until it hardened again....

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu there it is!" she said..

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM! YESSSSSSS BABY! YESSSS!" Rockland moaned..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" Alfreda wailed..

''QUIET THE NOISE! I'M CALLIN THE MANAGER!"came the voice from next door!

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW SWEEET BABY!" moaned Rockland...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU YESSSSSSSS!" Alfreda cooed!

Rockland was engaged and on her again....

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!"he moaned..

"TALK TO ME BABY...DO YOU LOVE ME?" she asked.

"YES!!! YES...OH YESSSSS!"moaned Rockland..who didn't know if he was coming or going...

"I LOVE YOUUUUU TOOO!!! OUUUUUUUUUUU!!! Lord Knows I do...I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! YOU DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND!" she cooed...

I UNDERSTAND YOU TWO BETTER QUIET THE DAMN NOISE AND SETTLE DOWN!!!"came the voice from next door...The man was bamming his fists on the wall now....

THREE TO FOUR HOURS drifted by....

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW LAWWWWWWWWWWWD!" Rockland moaned as he began to cum like a gusher...

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM CUM DADDDY!"moaned Alfreda..who was as usual amazed at the man's stamina.. He got on top of her and never wanted to get off she often said.

Rockland lie in between her legs....exhausted...

Alfreda wouldn't let him sleep , she continued kissing him, rubbing his large penis...keeping it hard..Soon he was mounting her yet again...

''OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.. I CAN'T HELP MYSELF...OHHHHHHHHH..AWWWWWWWWWWWW LAWWWWD! " he moaned..

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM...UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM..LOOK AT THAT!! OUUUUUUUUUU WOUUUUUUUUUU!!!" she cooed..

They were at it again...The Bed was squeaking out of control...….The headboard was slamming against the wall...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Rockland,oou, it feels so good!" she cooed..

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" he moaned..

"I'M NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO SLEEP TONIGHT!!! QUIET THE NOISE!" came the voice of the man next door..who took his shoe and banged on the wall..

"SHUT UP IN THERE YOU TWO!" came the voice from next door...He pounded on the wall again...

"I can't believe this...I went down stairs had a few drinks, came back and they're still goin at it like two cats in heat.." he complained..

"They're on their honeymoon...That's the Honeymoon suite...Why don't you change rooms?"said the manager.

"Thank you so much...They don't make any sense.." he said.

They were standing in the middle of the floor now, Rockland was long stroking her..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU HOOOO HOOO HOOO HOOO HOOOOOO, Aye...Ayeeeeeeee, Ayeeeee, Ay yi yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii….OH MY GOD ROCKLAND!!!..OUUUUU!" she screamed.

''Will ya listen to that? Just listen at that!!!" said the angry next door neighbor.....

The Manager smiled..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU HOOOO HOOO HOOO HOOO HOOOOOO, Aye...Ayeeeeeeee, Ayeeeee, Ay yi yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii….OH MY GOD ROCKLAND!!...OUUUUU! ayyyee, aye yi yiiiiii" she screamed.

They were back in bed...going at it slower..

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMPH!" he moaned...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu lover...ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu this is soooooooo
nice...Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.." she cooed softly..

"YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!" moaned Rockland as he came again like a gusher...

FIVE TO SIX HOURS had drifted by....

Rockland lie in between Alfreda's legs, exhausted....too exhausted to move...Alfreda was totally satisfied...She had never had this many orgasms and such strong ones at that...She held Rockland's head in her arms...She looked at the clock...They had spent the entire night and most of the morning in bed.. It was nearly 3:00 pm , the next afternoon...
.

Rockland woke up an hour later...He was astounded that it was nearly four in the afternoon...

Alfreda was up , but still in her white lacey babydoll and panties..He pulled her to him and kissed her softly and slowly.....

"Ummmmmmmm how are you Mrs. Cambridge.?" he said..

"I'm fine Mr. Cambridge..."she said..

"I'm hard!" he said..

"You are unbelievably HARD!!!!..Ouuuuuu I see! Myyyyyy goodness ..How are you so hard after last night and most of this morning??? You stay erect don't you? "she giggled, stroking him lightly...

''Around you...I do." he said softly...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh myyyyy..Good Answer, Good Answer!" she said....

After a few more minutes of kissing,

They wound up back on the bed again, making love..

"My goodness..Rockland is a stud...I never imagined when I first met him. He seemed like such a square, such a nerd. He sure fooled me."she thought...

''OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.." he moaned.

. "UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM...UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.. dadddyyyyy" she cooed..

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH BABYYYY!" he moaned...

TWO TO THREE HOURS drifted by before Rockland came and came hard.....

Alfreda decided to just sleep...

They'd go out tomorrow! She dozed off on top of his chest.....Rockland was snoring....She felt his penis.. It was still hard...She smiled and shook her head...

The next night, they both walked along the boardwalk...holding hands....

''I thought we were going to spend our whole honeymoon in bed there for a minute.." said Alfreda.

"We almost did..wow...You are just too damn sexy....I couldn't get enough of you...You just kept turning me on....WOWWWW!" said Rockland.

''Oh Hush up!.....Can I get some sleep tonight Horny Toad?...I'm too sore to do it anymore.." she said..

The truth of the matter was, Rockland was too exhausted to be able to do anymore himself...He was relieved that Alfreda wanted to sleep tonight..

He rubbed her hands softly...

"Mrs. Cambridge you most certainly can sleep tonight..Just don't wear any sexy underwear" he said and laughed.

" Sorry, all of my underwear is sexy... So you're going to have to just turn your head the other way Mr. Cambridge so Mrs. Cambridge can get some sleep. I like the sound of that....Mrs. Cambridge.." laughed Alfreda.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUU I like it too!" moaned Rockland.

They stood on the boardwalk and kissed passionately, totally unaware of the firestorm that awaited them back in Philly.

III-

ONE WEEK LATER-

''Sooo Sorry I couldn't make it to Alfreda and Rockland's wedding, but I hope she appreciated the sexy lingerie and panties and bras I sent to her." said our good friend Bridget Jones who owned two or three lingerie stores that all of the women in the area shopped at.

"I'm sure she did...Rockland did too!" laughed Olivia ,with a wink..

We had rented a Uhaul Truck...

Nelson and Paris helped to pack up the truck with the remainder of Rockland and Alfreda's things from out of our sub-basement.. and drive it around the corner to Rockland and Alfreda's new house..

Beverly's mother, Alfreda had left her a list of where she wanted everything placed..

Josie and Bresha and Tony, who took a day off were already in the house, doing last minute cleaning and straightening everything out... When Rockland and Alfreda came home from their Honeymoon...All they would have to do is move in..

They finished up at around 4:00 am..

I drove the Uhaul truck back...

With Nelson following me....

Everyone was in the conference room... Beverly, Josie, Paris, Bresha and Tony returned..

''All finished?" asked Olivia.

"Yup...When Mommy and Rockland come home tomorrow they walk right into their new home and ...and uh do whatever.." said Beverly, smiling..

"You know whatever is going to be.....What did you and Nelson do when you came back from your Honeymoon.?" joked Josie..

"I know what me and Jo did....Still doing it.."laughed Paris.

"PARIS!!!" said Josie, blushing like crazy."

Bresha laughed....

''What you laughing bout??...We still doin it too!.."laughed Tony... who squeezed his wife.

"OUUUUUUUUU!" Bresha blushed at being squeezed unexpectantly..

''Ahhhhhh to be young and in love...Newlyweds.. Liv I gotta get me a man." laughed Bridget.

"It'll come sooner than you know it.." laughed Olivia..

The doorbell rang.

"That can't be Donnie Ray and Nelson back so soon." said Olivia.

It wasn't! It was Yvette's husband, Gary Lockwood, an Investigator for the D.A.'s Office...

"Heyyyy Gary, what's up?" asked Olivia.

"Hey Liv, guys...I thought I would give you a heads up...We got a bit of a situation..." said Gary...

''What kind of situation?"asked Olivia , a little bit alarmed by Gary's grave look.

"Before he got married, Rockland was investigating a rumor of somebody in the District Attorney's Office being dirty, taking a bribe from a Russian Mob figure to look the other way in a murder case..big money...I was on to this guy, Bernie Kowalski...a two time loser....Who was co-operating with us...Somebody blew his cover and his body was found in Rockland's office last weekwith a bullet in his head and two to his chest and worse...a dead fish in his mouth....That's a message...from the mob...or somebody made it look that way....Unfortunately for everybody involved Lt. Arthur Tragg is heading up the investigation.."said Gary...

''Wouldn't Lt. Sissy Van Buren and the Criminal Investigation Division normally be involved in a case like that?" asked Beverly..

''Yeah, I would've took it straight to them and the FBI...but we were all at Rehobeth Beach at the Wedding last week...So Arthur Tragg inserted himself into the case, a case way above his paygrade....but here is the worst part.. He's looking to try and build a corruption case against Rockland, pin this murder on him...He says the fact that he bought a brand new house says it all..Where did he get the money??, et al.. All that... I told him the man was at his wedding..But you know how that is..Talking to him is like talking to a brick wall."said Gary..

''Rockland sold his house and paid for this house, which was much less with the money from that...There was no corruption of pay off."said Olivia.

"He is such a bonehead." said Beverly, furious..

"He's got a plain clothes guy in an unmarked car on that street waiting for Rockland to return.. He plans to arrest him."said Gary..

"On the day he returns from his Honeymoon?" asked a very angry Beverly...

"That Jackass..Can he do that?" asked Josie.

"I'm afraid he can and he is... I got it on good word he has a murder warrant drawn up already." said Gary.

At that moment..Alfreda and Rockland were returning to their new home..

Rockland lifted Alfreda up, put the key in the door..

"WELCOME HOME MRS. CAMBRIDGE!" he said jubilantly.......

"PUT HER DOWN MR.CAMBRIDGE AND PUT YOUR HANDS UP!!" came the command..

"WHAT? WHAT IS THIS? A JOKE??" asked Rockland Cambridge..

"IT'S NO JOKE CAMBRIDGE....YOU'RE UNDER ARREST!! MURDER!!" said Lt. Tragg.

"Rockland Cambridge you are under arrest for the murder of Bernie Kowalksi... You have the right to remain silent..Anything you say can and will be used against you..You have the right to an attorney, if you can not afford one, one will be provided for you...Do you understand these laws as I am reading them to you? "said Sgt. Brice , who handcuffed him.

A Tactical squad was deployed..

Several Police Cars were in front of his house and the Press

Was snapping photos...

As Nelson and I drove up..

Gary was also being handcuffed and read his rights.

"What's going on?" I asked.

''Was that Gary that got arrested?" asked Nelson.

"Yes and they arrested Rockland too!" said Olivia, angrier than I've ever seen her.

"HE IS SUCH AN ASSSSSHOLE!" screamed Beverly, nearly in tears..

"Hold it together baby!..We are going to get them both out tonight.. Somebody call Yvette." said Olivia.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUU I'M SOOO MAD!" said Alfreda.

"Don't Worry..Ms. Alfreda....We are going to get him out." said Josie.

"I'll go and get Ms. Yvette." said Bresha.

IV-

"The Fishbowl" the nickname the Detectives had for the Interrogation Room....

Lt. Tragg had waited a week before making an arrest in the Kowalski Murder... He hated arresting Gary Lockwood... A guy he had brought through the ranks, Patrolman, Detective, Sgt. and finally Lieutenant... He was now an Investigator for the District Attorney's Office..He was on the other team.. He had no qualms though about arresting and charging Assistant District Attorney Rockland Cambridge, a man he personally despised...

"Artie, you're making a big mistake...You're going to look like a fool before this night is through." said Gary..

"A Bigger Fool than he usually looks " said ADA Rockland Cambridge...

Before he could ask one question, he looked up... Some of his "favorite people" now flooded the room..

Attorneys Olivia Bennett-Alexander, Beverly West, Nelson East, Josie Boyd, Bresha Billips, Donnie Ray Alexander, Yvette Jones-Lockwood, Bee Bee Evans Jones, Sofia Garcia-Ahmed, Keith Jones, Kahlil Ahmed, Jade Lee -Ho, Jessica and Chip insisted they come along too... He expected some of these attorneys , but not this many....

''Wellllll the troops really came out huh?" he said nervously.. He was a little intimidated by these attorneys all together, Attorneys who had foiled him in court several times...Attorneys he had bullied in public places.. They weren't being bullied now...It looked as if the tables were turning... They were angry...Livid, like he usually was and he could feel it..See it.

"You've finally gone TOO FAR LIEUTENANT!!!! YOU ARREST A MAN RETURNING FROM HIS HONEYMOON!" said Olivia.,.

"HIS HONEYMOON?" asked Lt. Tragg. He was surprised!

"He and My Mother got married a week and a day ago...at Rehobeth Beach in Deleware, He wasn't in Philadelphia when that man got murdered, He couldn't have possibly have done it." said Beverly.

"Everybody in this room was at the wedding.. We have photos to show it." said Nelson.

Josie put the photos on the table to show him...

"Not just all of us...LOOK AT THE PHOTOS..... Some of your cops and Federal Agents were there, including your CAPTAIN....." said Bresha...

''And Gary Lockwood was there..He was the Best MAN..." I said. I was angry myself...You're going to let him go and drop these charges NOW! " I bellowed, surprised at how angry I was.

"My Husband was there...He didn't commit any murder...How could you think that? How Long have you known him? " asked an unusually angry Yvette...

''He wasn't arrested for murder....He was arrested for leaking sensitive information about an ongoing investigation to Olivia and Beverly..About our intention to arrest Rockland." said Lt. Tragg.

"How could you know that unless you illegally bugged Olivia Bennett-Alexander's Office or had your Private Investigator friend, Bert Vandenberg do it while we were all out of town?" asked Bee Bee.

She had hit the nail on the head.

''Either way...Whatever you heard can't be used in a court of law and you know that!" said Sofia.

"You know we are right.." said Keith Jones.

"You need to release Mr. Lockwood and Mr. Cambridge right now."said Kahlil.

Jade laughed and shook her head.

"WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHING ABOUT?" said Lt. Tragg, back in bully mode.

"You shouldn't be worried about her...You should be worried about the complaint of false arrest and illegal wiretapping of an attorney's office That we plan to charge if this goes any further than tonight!"said Jessica.

''Still feel like playing the bully?" said Chip..

Even Bull Headed Lt. Tragg realized he was skunked.. It was more than obvious Rockland and Gary were not guilty of Murder or conspiracy , but he had one last trump card to play...

"You bought a new house recently Rockland....Where did you all of a sudden get the money? A Russian Mob Payout right?" asked Lt. Tragg.

Rockland was furious..

"WHYYYYY YOU DUMB , POMPOUS JACK ASS!" he snarled and lunged at Lt. Tragg...

Gary and I got in between them.....

"I figured you'd bring that up.....Rockland sold his previous home a few months back...As soon as he got the balance from the bank.. He bought his new house which is much cheaper...Here is the bills of sale for both houses. Hardly any payout!." said Olivia.

Lt. Tragg held his head... "Olivia you don't leave any stones unturned do you?" he said quietly. He sighed. He hated to have to do this...but he had no choice.

"All charges are dropped...You both can go.." he said somberly... Which is as close as we were going to get to an apology,,,,

And just as he would do..We called a press conference as we all walked out with both Gary and Rockland..

ADA Rockland Cambridge addressed the crowd...

"This is the second time this BOOB, Lt. Arthur Tragg has arrested me on phony charges.. He is the dumbest cop on the Philadelphia Police Force and is a disgrace to the badge...Something ought to be done about him..." said Rockland..
