A Lovely Woman

THURSDAY MORNING!
 

Olivia and I were kissing passionately in the doorway of our domicile..

"If we don't stop all of this kissing, we are going to wind up back in bed...." said Olivia..

"Yeah , you're right and we've got work to do..." I said...

Downstairs ,our conference room table had fresh fruit and waters and a continental breakfast spread, care of Alfreda's caterer... Pastries, Hot Coffee, Doughnuts and Bagels with Cream Cheese and Jelly.

"Mommy, everything looks delish...I was sooo glad when you came to work for us.." said Beverly, hugging her mother and kissing her on the cheek.

"Baby, I was glad when Olivia asked  me to work for you guys...I'm so proud of you two, Big time lawyers and all and married to good men.."said Alfreda smiling.. She was married to a good man too now and a homeowner...Living right across the street from us...

Alfreda's son in law and Beverly's husband, Nelson kissed his wife first..

"Ummmmm damnnn baby, you're as sweet as honey." he said..

Beverly blushed and giggled..  She loved how much Nelson adored her, She wished she had seen it and appreciated it sooner...

Then he spread some cream cheese on his bagel and grabbed a pastry..

Josie and Bresha were already putting Bagels ,Doughnuts and Pastries on their plates and pouring themselves some coffee..

Olivia and I joined them...

"Alfreda everything looks great.." said Olivia , who sat in my lap....

"Mmmmmmmmmmmm I moaned..Munching on a pastry and moaning because Olivia was sitting on my lap..

As we ate, I began to talk... I began to run down what we know happened that fateful day...

Everybody didn't have the day off and at the U.S. Federal Building , a hearing was taking place in the office of Assistant U.S. Attorney Karla Williams.

Mr. Williamson you say your organization is a legitimate investment firm, but we have reason to believe your organization is just a front...That you've been taking investors money and funneling it into several offshore accounts, paying your investors just enough to keep them from being suspicious, while giving them IOU's for numerous amounts still owed..We've built a case up against you that results in Wire Fraud and Bank Fraud as well.." said AUSA Karla Williamson..

"You know this is bullshit..." said Teddy Williamson who slapped Lawrence Stephenson

An Attorney and Forensic Accountant who had helped us many times in the past in the head..

"WHAT DO I PAY YOU FOR HUH?? HUH?" he said angrilly....

Brendan punched him in the jaw....knocking him backwards...

"DON'T YOU EVER PUT YOUR HANDS ON ME AGAIN!!! YOU DON'T PAY ME TO COOK THE BOOKS....I DID AN HONEST FINANCIAL AUTOPSY AND THE NUMBERS ARE WHAT THEY ARE...I STAND BY MY WORK!!" shouted Brendan...

"GENTLEMEN...GENTELMEN...CONTROL YOURSELVES..." said AUSA  Karla Williams...

"Guys....Guys calm down there obviously is a mistake here....We'll have another accountant look over our figures." said smooth attorney Derek Buchanon, who was there with his wife,

Brittany Ainsworth Buchanon, also an attorney....She vomited in the waste receptacle for the second time this afternoon......

"I'm so sorry.,.." she said.

"That's okay... Derek, how many months is she?" said Karla, running cold water on a towel and administering it to her head...

''She's Two months."said Derek...

''Stephenson, YOU'RE FIRED!" said Teddy Williamson..

"I WANT MY SEVERENCE!!!" demanded Lawrence Stephenson..

"Derek pay him and after he pays you ,GET OUT OF MY SIGHT!" snarled Teddy Williamson..

Derek wrote him a check and passed it to him...

"HEY, THIS IS ONLY FOR HALF!!" screamed a furious Lawrence Stephenson...

"You did a half assed job , you get paid for half ass work..." said Teddy...

Lawrence Stephenson grabbed Teddy in the collar...

"You cheap son of a bitch. I'll kill you." he said...

"GENTLEMEN...GENTELMEN...CONTROL YOURSELVES..." said AUSA  Karla Williams...

"Teddy, Teddy, cool it... Ms. Williams, don't file charges yet...We'll be back with a different set of figures...I assure you there is nothing untoward about our operation.." said Derek Buchanon... "Thanks for the heads up." he said.

Brittany vomited again...She had a really bad case of morning sickness.

"Alright...Get her home...She needs to be in bed." said Karla..

"Yeah, I'll do that...Come on.." said  Derek, who seemed surprisingly irritated...

Brittany got up...She too seemed irritated..

They all left the office....

"Wow, that was some bust up." said Nelson.

''I've been a Homicide Detective for years, before I met you.. and one thing I know.. Most murders have a motive, a single reason for happening...right? You know that as seasoned attorneys." I said.,

''You've got my attention now go on..." said Olivia.

"Yes, you've got mine too!" said Beverly, smiling.

"Okay, Lawrence has a motive, He's been fired and he and the deceased were involved in a fist fight and in the heat of anger he threatened to kill the deceased Teddy Williamson... He's the perfect fall guy for anyone else who had a motive to kill him.." I  said.

''So what you're saying is that someone with knowledge of the termination and the fist fight afterwords could be responsible." said Josie.

"That's exactly what I'm saying." I said.

''Who better than someone with first hand knowledge of the incident?" said Bresha.

''Okay, let's eliminate Assistant U.S. Attorney Karla Williams

"She's a personal friend, who we've worked with before and she's as straight as an arrow...PLus she was prosecuting the man for Mail and Wire Fraud or about to...She was giving him time to clear his name." said Olivia.

"Well there is Derek Buchanon, Teddy's Attorney...I know him personally...Beverly and I worked a case together when I was working for Mr. Foxworth...He's as smooth and as slick as canned grease." said Nelson..

"I know him too....He's equally as handsy as Lt. Tragg...He knew I was Nelson's girlfriend at the time and he kept sending me letters with his phone number on them asking me to call him and asking if we could meet alone for drinks, and trying to sneak and feel my butt and pretending he accidentally just happened to touch my boobies...A quick and hard slap in the face ended all of that." said Beverly..

"Isn't he married?  To the other attorney representing Teddy Williamson, Brittany Ainsworth Buchanon?" asked Josie.

"Honeyyyy, being married has nothing to do with a man wanting sex.." said Alfreda, who was sitting with us , having a continental breakfast..

"Brittany is his second wife..He was in between wives when Nelson and I worked a case with him..His first wife lives here in the city.." said Beverly...

''Well his present wife, Brittany

is quite pregnant with his baby...I saw her in court finishing up a case and she got quite sick a few days ago.. I helped her get to the ladies room in time.. She's got morning sickness real bad...She shouldn't even be working right now." said Bresha.

"Okay....I've heard what you all said.. I'm going to trust your judgement.. This Derek Buchanon... I don't know him, but I'm going to get to know him... And people, I'm just going by my gut instinct...It's never failed me yet...The person who killed Teddy is somebody that was in that room that day!!!

II-

At The Bridge Building...Where most of our friends and neighbors worked... 

Assistant District Attorney Sharrone Stokes  was watching  a wrongful conviction case come to an end..

"Hi Karen...You were the first person I went looking for when I returned to town... I have to thank you so much for helping me when I was in law school.. I owe you.." said Sharrone.

''Aww it was nothing.. I remember when you were a detective, you always brought in good strong cases.. You were responsible for a lot of my success as a prosecutor.. and I know as an Attorney you'll be just as good., I heard you're trying a case against some friends of mine.." said ADA Karen Page.

''Yes... Olivia Bennett-Alexander, Beverly West and her team.. 

If they're anything like they were at the arraignment.. I'm in for a bumpy road."laughed Sharrone.

"They are good in court...I lost a few to them....before I became a part of the Wrongful Conviction Unit.. Now I work with them occassionally... They're awful nice people.. Olivia and Yvette Jones-Lockwood...Yvette Jones then were room-mates and lived across the hall from me in law school." said Karen Page.

"Small World.I lost my only case to date against her and her team.." laughed Sharrone...

''They are equally good." said Sharrone.

"They work in this building...A few floors up...and the Innocence Project is right down the hall from me."said Karen...

"I was there before I stopped down here.. I put in a resume there and met two delightful young attorneys..

Jessica Sanchez-Burrows and her husband, Charles Burrows.. I really liked them..." said Sharrone.

''I then dropped a resume over at the Women's Law Center...A few blocks from here.. I really like it there and I hope I get a shot ." said Sharrone.

''You're tired of sending people to jail too aren't you? I was getting ready to resign before Garcetti created this office.. It's just an office of one... but I like it.. I like the people that work in this building..

I like being able to hire friends like Olivia and Yvette and their teams and Jessica and Charles to handle cases

and I like the freedom to go and come when I please." said Karen.

"You got a staff?" asked Sharrone..

"No... I have an office inside the suite of a law firm who was kind enough to give me the space..

"Two of the Attorneys  that work for that firm, Jasmine Coley and Kayla St. Jacques got me the hook up as the young people say...  Jasmine Coley used  to work with Olivia and Beverly in the Public Defenders Office and Kayla st. Jacques is Olivia's first cousin, also an Attorney." said Karen.  "I have one really good investigator,

Gary Lockwood, who was a detective in Robbery-Homicide and a Lieutenant in Internal Affairs before deciding to work as an Investigator for the D.A.'s office.. I share him with ADA Rockland Cambridge

said Karen...

"I know Gary...We were both detectives in Robbery-Homicide...We used to be a thing...We had a Baby girl together... Our Baby died unfortunately...It was a long time ago...I understand he's married to Yvette Jones now."said Sharrone.

"Yes...how about you? You seeing anyone?"asked Karen..

"Not at the moment...These past few years...I've concentrated on getting my law degree and getting settled..." said Sharrone..

''Well you'd better get out there girl...You know what they say about all work and no play... 

You know I'm dating B.L. Benz...???"said Karen.

"The Guy on Television??  HARD BOTTOM  right?  OH MY GODDDD!!!!! REALLY?  I hear he's a lawyer too!" laughed Sharrone.

"He is.. Graduated from Columbia School of Law... He likes being on Television more than he likes practicing law." laughed Karen..

''Ouuuuuuuuuuuu girl, good for you!" laughed Sharrone.

Judge Keith Morrison walked out of the conference room... He took one look at Sharrone and was stunned. "She certainly knows how to wear that damn dress.." he thought ..

"Hello ladies." he said, smiling from ear to ear..

''Hello Judge..Thank you for overseeing our hearing this morning.. This is ADA ..."said Karen Page.

"Oh I know who Ms. Stokes is...She's tried a case in my courtroom..a very astute young lady..." he said.

still smiling from ear to ear and staring at Sharrone so hard, she was blushing..

They had talked a few times over  coffee during the time she was trying a case in his court.. He had asked her out once before but she had refused...She was no longer trying a case in his courtroom now.

"YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I KNOW WHO MS. STOKES IS....TELL ME WOULD YOU LIKE LUNCH? I know a great little place out near the Marina, if your business here is uh finished.." he said ,still grinning from ear to ear...

''Don't mind if I do..." said Sharrone with a smile..

Karen Nudged Sharrone and winked.

Sharrone giggled..

"Lead the way Your honor."

Halfway Across town at The Office of Assistant District Attorney, Sharrone Stokes

"Sorry, Ms. Stokes is gone for the day...She had a few personal appointments." said her assistant.

"Ohhhh, well here is my number...Could you have her call me?" asked Olivia, who had Josie, Nelson and Bresha in tow.

"I'll have her call you." said Her assistant..

Lt. Tragg walked in just then......

''I'm sorry Lieutenant, As I told Mrs. Alexander...Ms. Stokes is gone for the day....She had some personal matter she had to attend to," said the Assistant.

''Personal Matters? What kind of Personal Matters? I need to be brought up to speed on this case... And what are you guys doing here?  Where is your husband and  and that niece of yours?" asked Lt. Tragg.

"My My My...you do ask a lot of questions...I was here to see Ms. Stokes on lawyer business..You wouldn't understand."said Olivia politely..

"Then M AKE ME UNDERSTAND!!! IF IT HAS TO DO WITH THIS CASE..I NEED TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON! AND I BELIEVE I ASKED YOU A QUESTION!! WHERE IS YOUR HUSBAND AND YOUR NIECE????" bellowed Lt. Tragg.

"You wouldn't know what was going on , even if we told you....Good Bye Lieutenant, See you in court."said Olivia with a smile..  

Bresha cracked up laughing...

So did Josie..

Nelson smiled and hung his head....

"I see you haven't talked to your folks about showing me the proper respect, have you?" asked Lt. Tragg..

"No I haven't...We've all been too busy trying to free our client." said Olivia as she walked away...

Nelson, Bresha and Josie followed her, still giggling and laughing..

Lt. Tragg was as usual, livid.

III-

"Girrrrrl, your place is lovely." said Beverly...

"Yes it is." I said as we sat down..

"Oh Thank you girl..." said Kiersey Buchanon....The First wife of smooth lawyer, Derek Buchanon..

I was shocked to learn that Derek Buchanon's first wife was African-American.

Beverly wasn't...She said Derek always had an affinity towards Black girls... She was certain that his new wife was for appearences...

Kiersey Buchanon was a lovely woman and hostess...

She offered us both some tea...

"Thank you for meeting with us Mrs. Buchanon.. I am an Investigator, working with the Attorneys who are representing the man accused of murdering one of your husband's late client's , Teddy Williamson

and Mrs. West-East here is one of the Attorneys I work for." I explained.

"So what has this got to do with Derek?" she asked.

''He's a witness against our client...We are just investigating every angle of the case." said Beverly.

"I know who you guys are... I see you on the news all the time..

You and your auntie ,your husband, those two other girls and you Mr. Alexander....You're married to Olivia." said Kiersey Buchanon... "So My question is , what has this got to do with Derek??? and more so what has it got to do with me?? We've been divorced for Four  years..going on Five now.  I knew Teddy Williamson, I didn't like him, but he paid my ex-husband handsomely for his services...He was dirty...I heard the Feds were investigating him." said Kiersey...

''We are just covering all bases...We plan to interview his current wife also."said Beverly.

"You guys don't fool me...You're fishing...You think Derek may have something to do with this murder don't you?   By the way, how is Derek and his Trophy white wife doing anyway?" asked Kiersey.

''They're expecting a little bundle of joy...She's pregnant."I said.

"She's having awful morning sickness ." added Beverly.

Kiersey got quiet at first....Then she laughed...  "Pregnant?? She's pregnant?? That's impossible...If she's pregnant it's not by Derek..." she said.

"We've seen her,,,She's pregnant." said Beverly..

"Why do you think we got divorced? We tried for two years to get pregnant...Derek couldn't keep his hands off of me...Everytime we turned around we were in bed, making love...It just wouldn't happen..

We went to doctors and fertility clinics... I thought something was wrong with me." she said.

I noticed a photo of a little boy and a little girl on the counter... Kiersey saw me looking at them...

"That's my son....He's Three and my daughter...She's Two... They aren't Derek's... After we got divorced, I got involved with another man...We still together, off and on... He's their father.. I make him wear a condom, two condoms... He just looks at me and I get pregnant... They with him for the weekend..Turns out it was nothing wrong with me.. It was Derek.. He's sterile!!!! His ego couldn't take it.. That's why we split..He can't have a child...So if his wife is pregnant.....It's not by Derek... TRUST AND BELIEVE!" she said laughing..

Beverly and I stared at each other.........

At PENNS LANDING... Judge Keith Morrison and Assistant District Attorney Sharrone Stokes drank much wine and had a delicious meal..

Naturally they talked about law and their ambitions for two hours... and then it got around to them...

"This food and all of this wine has got me feeling some kind of way..." he laughed..

"Horny?" she laughed...Now she knew she'd had too much to drink...She would have never said something like that sober..but she had noticed the huge bulge in his trousers ever since they had left the Bridge Building and headed towards this restaurant..

He had been feeling her legs and running his hands up her skirt for the past hour...She was well aware of this and surprisingly had not tried to stop him..

He gently tugged on the waistband of her panties, but did not attempt to go any further..

She smiled at him..

"You're fresh Your honor." she laughed.

''What are we gonna do about that ,huh?" he asked raffishly..

"Welllllllllllllll which of us lives the closest to here?" she asked.

"Check please!" he said.

They arrived at his Olde City Townhouse shortly...He lived just two blocks from Teddy Williamson's murder scene, she noted....

Once inside his house...

He took her in his arms and kissed her passionately....

"You don't waste time do you?" she laughed..in between kisses.

"Life is short baby." he said.

She giggled....She hadn't had sex in seven years and her body was feeling sensations it hadn't felt in all that time...

He had her out of that dress within minutes...

and slipped her panties down....

"OUUUUUUUUU YOUR HONOR, YOU ARE HUGE!!! AND SO HARDDDDDDD!" she remarked..

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, HE MOANED!!"

She eased herself down on him and screamed in pleasure..

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!OUUUUUUUUUUU!" as she began to move up and down on him....

He rolled over on top of her....

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" he moaned...

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!! OH MY GODDDDDdD!" she cooed loudly..

He was driving Assistant District Attorney Sharrone Stokes crazy..

EIGHT TO NINE HOURS of non stop lovemaking in that bed and he didn't seem like he was even close to stopping..

"Judge..ouuuuu Are you on Cialis or Viagra, my goodness.." said  Sharrone Stokes, trying to catch her breath..

"No...Not yet...maybe in a few years.." he said... He was breathing heavy too..

"Oh My god...you've made me cum about four times....Ouuuuuuu, it's been a long time since I've cum so much and sooo hard..ouuuu.." she said..

ANOTHER HOUR WENT BY

and ADA Stokes was having another orgasm...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" she screamed out....She licked his  neck and blew softly in his ear..

Finally he came....She breathed a sigh of relief...He was like a machine..She didn't know if she could take much more...Her legs were shaking....She was trembling...She felt as if she was having another orgasm.....

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMPH..." he moaned....continuing to come...He was trembling too!

He lie between her legs, breathing heavily....

They continued to kiss..

He lifted her up...

"OUUUUUUU WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" she cried out.. He was long stroking her in the middle of the floor....She was laughing hysterically and then crying like a little girl and having another intense orgasm...

He placed her on the bathroom sink and entered her again...She kissed hin very slowly and softly...

She held on for dear life, having another orgasm and trembling...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!" she moaned..

"AWWWWWWWW......AWWWWWWWWWWWW LAWDDDDDD!" he cried out..

He bent her over the sink and entered her doggie style..

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWww LAWWWWWDDD!" he howled..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU MEOOWWWWWWWWW!!!!!" she cooed.

TWO TO THREE HOURS PASSED BY...

Before they finished up in bed ...

with Sharrone sleeping quietly on top of the Judge's chest.... He had a smile from ear to ear...

While at our office/duplex-

"This is wow....Off the chain...Derek is sterile... Do you know that for sure?" asked Olivia.

"These are the Doctor's reports...Derek's ex-wife allowed us to make copies...They were trying to have a baby for years...They went to several fertility clinics..Derek was Sterile... She's hooked up with another man since they've divorced and had two children...It certainly wasn't her." said Beverly...

''Well, I guess not..." said Nelson..

"Well, if Derek is sterile and can't have babies..Then who is his wife pregnant by?" asked Bresha.

"Oh My God!!!! Do you think, Do you think Teddy got her pregnant?   And he knew that?" asked Josie.

"That would be my guess...He knows that the baby isn't his...And if he suspected Teddy was the father, why that's enough to set any man into a rage...A Murderous rage...and when Teddy and Lawrence got into that fight and he heard him threaten to kill him, well there was his chance, there was his fall guy." I said.

''Oh My God" said Olivia.

IV-

FRIDAY MORNING!

Sharrone woke up....she showered and got dressed...

She looked around the Judge's house..

She saw a photo of Attorney Keith Jones, one of Yvette's Attorneys..... she saw another photo of Keith Jones College Graduation.. Howard University and another of his law school graduation..

He was smiling and with his friends, Beatrice Evans, Kahlil Ahmed and Sofia Garcia.. They had all graduated from PENN LAW...they looked so young, so innocent..

Then she saw another photo.. It was a wedding photo..

It was Keith Jones and Beatrice Evans... Their Wedding Photo....

Judge Morrison was up and yawning..

"Keith Jones, Yvette's Keith is YOUR SON isn't he? and Bee Bee, Beatrice is your daughter in law." said Sharrone.

"You're just too bright for me kid, what can I say?  Yes he's my son and yes she's my daughter in law and  he was "My Keith" before Yvette ever heard of him...He's the product of a long ago relationship I had with a woman while I was married..I'm not proud of that..but I'm proud of him, the Lawyer and the man he's become.." said Judge Morrison.

"Where is your wife?" asked Sharrone.

"She's deceased.. cancer....It's been 10 years now...We had a great marriage believe it or not and she never discovered my uh indiscretion... I paid child support and I paid for him to go to college and law school..I tried to do right by him." said Judge Morrison quietly...

"I wasn't being judgemental, just asking.. We all have our past...I had a daughter...She died , about 7 years ago..Natural causes." said Sharrone.

"That why you left the police force?" asked Judge Morrison..

"Yeah...that and this law thing is me re-inventing myself." she said and laughed.

''Well you've done a hell of a good job." said Judge Morrison..

"Thank You!" she whispered..

She gave him the slowest softest kiss possible..

Against our better judgement, we all wound up eating breakfast in Sam Mother's Diner this morning.

AUSA Karla Williams was our guest.

"I'm so glad you met with us today Karla... I would have liked for ADA Sharrone Stokes to have met with us too, but I couldn't get in touch with her and she wasn't in her office yesterday."said Olivia.

"Liv, I just hate that I'm a witness for the prosecution... Even though they did have a fight in my office, which I did witness...and your client did threaten him...It was all in the heat of the moment.. How many times have you heard someone say in a fight, when they were angry...that they'd kill someone?  It was heat of the moment stuff which I tried to explain to that stupid detective investigating the murder.. I just don't think your client did this.He 's not the type....But I have to testify truthfully to what I saw."said Karla.  "I see you have added staff since I last talked to you.

"Oh I know...We don't think he did it either... Naturally we would say that...but we really have an idea about WHO actually did that...but naturally you understand we are not at liberty to say anything right now. This is Bresha Billips, graduate of Middleton School of Law, first in her class..She joined us last year.." said Olivia proudly.

"Pleased to meet you." said Bresha.

"You're with a really good bunch of Attorneys Bresha.   I'm going to be lecturing at your former Law School next month." said Karla.

''Let me know the days...I might come through." said Beverly.

''Yeah , Me too!" said Nelson.

"You guys really must have no life, coming to a law lecture on a Thursday Night..."laughed Karla. "Tell you what..Come through and let's go to that skating rink afterwords.. I love the D.J.'s that spin there." said Karla.

"Ouuuu, a girl after my own heart...I'm down." said Josie.

I just laughed.

All of us had Hot Coffee, Orange Juice and Grapefruit Juice..  No one was eating.

Lt. Tragg would walk in then and see us all sitting at the table, drinking and talking and naturally he had to come over...

"Ms. Williams, I don't think it's a good look , you sitting here with these defense attorneys discussing the upcoming case in which you are a witness for the prosecution." he said.

''So what am I supposed to do.. get up?" she asked. "Go away....I'm an  Assistant U.S. Attorney..I can talk to whoever I choose and I know what's appropriate to talk about and what's not..I don't need YOU

to tell me who I can be seen with and who I can't.. Now GO AWAY!" she said loudly...

Once Again, he stood there with a dumb look on his face..

"ARTIE! ORDER SOMETHING OR GET OUT!" bellowed Sam Mother.

Lt. Tragg angrily walked to the counter...

"My regular!" he said.

Fried Eggs, Hash Browns and sausage were served 

with hot coffee..

THE OFFICE OF ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY SHARRONE STOKES.

Sharrone Stokes checked her phone..

She checked her messages and texts..She'd missed a gang from Lt. Tragg...Who cares? she thought.

She had missed a meeting and a group chat with us. She didn't want us to think she was blowing us off.

She got a text from Judge Morrison 

"LAST NIGHT WAS INCREDIBLE!!! THANK YOU!" it read.

She received a Bouquet of roses from him.

She smiled.. Then Lt. Tragg walked in..

''WHERE WERE YOU YESTERDAY?" he bellowed.

He was still talking to her as though she was one of his detectives , serving under him in Robbery-Homicide.

"I was  off." she said quietly...

"THAT DOESN'T ANSWER MY QUESTION. I NEEDED TO BE PUT UP TO SPEED ON THIS CASE!" he bellowed.

"Well if you could manage to keep yourself out of jail, you might have been able to do some real investigation and bring me something more to use.." said Sharrone.

"I've brought you a good case." said Lt. Tragg.

"You've brought me nothing...You've got three people who witnessed an argument and a fist fight and a threat in the heat of anger and nothing more. I don't have one eyewitness that puts him at the scene, I have no prints or DNA at the crime scene, no prints or DNA on the murder weapon, a stolen weapon that's been missing for six years and no other suspects.

Olivia and Beverly and that bunch are going to eat me for lunch...The Trial begins Monday...It's Friday...You've got all weekend to find me something more.. I suggest you get to it, Now go...I've got work to do." she said.

It was as if she were talking to a brick wall....He stood there with a blank expression on his face.

''So, who are these flowers from?"

"None of your business. I've got work to do...Please leave." she asked again.,

He walked out of the office... He had no intention of doing anymore than he had done.

(CONCLUSION NEXT)
