The OFFICE OF STEPHON WHITE, ATTORNEY AT LAW

Judge Stephon White was indeed a Federal Judge, He also was an Attorney at law, with his own law firm...It was at his law firm, he was meeting with his girlfriend, Alma Johnson this morning.

"These are the attorneys that will be representing you...Their Boss, Yvette Jones Lockwood and I went to law school together.. She is brilliant." he said and smiled.

"I trust your judgement , These other four attorneys look very young...and three of them...look very familliar.. I think I know them..."said Alma Johnson..

"Don't let their ages fool you, All four of them are very good and are being groomed and trained very well by my good friend, Yvette, trust me.. I know. They tried a case in my court once.." said Stephon...

"It's 8:30, shouldn't we get going?"asked Alma...

"Let's grab some breakfast...and then catch the train over there." said Stephon..

"Okay, you're so good to me." said Alma...

They shared a passionate kiss....

They stopped in Sam Mother's Diner for Breakfast,...

A Nice Big stack of pancakes and sausages.. Alma had a glass of milk with hers while Stephon had a cup of coffee..

Stephon White looked around sadly... "Once upon a time..All of us lawyers, and cops hung out in here and ate and talked and laughed and joked...Now of days...I don't see em in here anymore.." he said.

The reason for that walked in the door, the unhinged Lt. Arthur Tragg of Homicide.

He stared at Judge Stephon White,,,,He had busted him earlier this year for murder...a murder he was ultimately acquitted of...A Murder in which the real killer confessed...Still he found it necessary to walk

over to his table..

"Keeping your nose clean your honor? No Murder indictments?? Against you of course, heh heh heh!" he said sarcastically.

" No! ARE YOU KEEPING YOUR NOSE CLEAN? TWO DUI's, TWO AUTO ACCIDENTS, TWO ARRESTS FOR PEEPING IN A WOMAN'S WINDOW!!! MY MY MYYY LIEUTENANT! You have been busy...How have those Sensitivity classes and the Alcohol and Drug Abuse classes gone?" asked Stephon White. "Any more arrests for violating C&D???" he asked.. "You spend more time in jail than most of your perps." he added and laughed.

Lt. Tragg was as red as a beet....He was livid!!! He turned and walked away....He had been beaten at his own game and embarrassed in front of a woman he did not know...He couldn't even order his food...He stormed out of the diner...

"Guess you shut him up!"laughed Alma..

"Yeah...not hard with that dim wit...Come on let's get out of here." said Judge Stephon White.

They got on the train and headed towards our building...down near Penns Landing.

"WOWWWW!!! I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THIS BUILDING WAS HERE!" said Alma.

Meanwhile in our office..

Bee Bee and Sofia marveled at Virginia's engagement ring..

"Ms. Virginia, that ring is beautiful..." said Bee Bee.

''Awwww thank you baby." said Virginia.

"I know you and Jetty must be over the moon."said Sofia..

"Jetty been over the moon." joked Ms. Yvette.

Kahlil and I came back with coffee's for everybody from Mocha Joe's

''We're back and with time to spare.." said Kahlil..

"Yupper." I said.

"Let's take these into the conference room." said Jade.

Stephon White And Alma Johnson walked in right on time...

"Hi Guys, we're here....This is Alma Johnson." he said.

"Hello." she said. She was a very pretty Brown skinned woman...A Bit young for Stephon White...She was only about two to three years older than Bee Bee, Sofia, Kahlil and myself..

"She looks familliar." said Bee Bee.

"I think I remember her from Girls High" whispered Sofia.

''Pleased to meet you..I'm Yvette Jones-Lockwood....I'll be the lead attorney...My associates are all in the conference room...come this way." said Yvette with a smile.

Leading them into the conference room.

II-

"Alma, these are my associates...

"Attorney, Keith Jones....

"Pleased to make your acquaintance..." I said.

"His wife, Attorney Beatrice Evans-Jones...We call her Bee Bee.

"Pleased to meet you." said Bee Bee.

"Attorney Sofia Garcia-

"Hola Mami" said Sofia...

"And her husband, Attorney Kahlil Ahmed..."

"Pleased to meet you." said Kahlil.

''And last but not least...our investigator, Jade Lee-Ho.." said Yvette.

"Pleased to meet you Alma."said Jade.

''Same Here.. Stephon has given me the complete run down on you guys...I feel like I know you...So let me tell you about me... My parents died when I was 13....My Brother Lonnie was 18...by then he had already did a stint in Juvie... He took care of me.. He made sure I was fed , that I went to bed on time every night and that I went to school...Like you Bee Bee and Sofia, I went to Girls High.. I graduated three years ahead of you, but I remember you two and Kahlil..from Central.. You used to sell weed... I guess you turned your life around...Look at you..a Lawyer in a big time firm... I went to Temple and got my B.A. in Education...and to Lasalle like you Ms. Yvette, where I got my Masters in Education..My brother's drug money paid for my education. I know...I've always known what he was doing.. He started out running for Manny Spain, then he ran with the Roc Boyz...and eventually he started his own team that slowly took over as the old guys fell , to the point that he lives in a tony condo in town and doesn't even deal with the day to day...but everybody knows he owns and controls a large piece of the real estate here in Philly...

I teach school, First and second grade..and special needs children..I bought my house with my own money ...My car too! I don't have anything to do with my brother's business...All I know about what he does is what is in the newspapers..He was over my house for his nephew's birthday party....but I didn't see him with any weight..Drugs...I don't know how that Heroin got there..I swear...Lonnie would never endanger us like that... " she said.

"I thought you looked familliar." said Bee Bee.

"I remember you." said Sofia.

"I remember you two too!, Always together...I think I saw you guys at Temple. And now you're married to Kahlil here.. I thought he had a thing for you Sofia...even in high school..Always offering you a ride in his car.....and you Bee Bee, married to cutey pie here...Nice." said Alma.

I didn't know about everyone else...but I believed her...We couldn't help who we were related to..

Our good friend, Nelson East's Uncle was "Fathead Newton" who used to control the same area of Philadelphia that Lonnie Johnson now controlled..Nelson said he didn't know what his Uncle did until after he graduated High School...His uncle paid for his college and his law school...Said that he didn't want him to be what he was...Nelson was the straightest arrow I knew.

And Josie Boyd's father, Joe Boyd ran most of the mob in Black Philadelphia.. She and her mother lived far from him in New York City..She didn't know what he did until after she graduated from Fisk University...She returned to Philadelphia , shortly before he was gunned down by rival mobsters. Josie like Nelson was the farthest thing from a criminal you'd ever see..

I believed her...

I looked at my wife, Bee Bee, she looked sympathetic...

So did Sofia...

and even Kahlil..

I couldn't tell what Jade was thinking...She was shrewd...

"I'm looking at the charging document here... The DEA got an anonymous tip...and when they raided your house..They knew exactly where to look Ms. Johnson... Nobody gets that lucky...You were set up and on purpose....and what we have to do is find out by who and why." said Ms. Yvette.

Stephon White smiled, his eye brows arched..

"Huh? Seeee? I told they were sharp..So how do we proceed?" he asked.

''Well we normally ask our clients to get a hotel room and register under their own name and keep their car out of sight but..."said Ms. Yvette.

"My son? He can stay with my cousin....I'll stay with Stephon." said Alma...

"Oh well uh okay then." said Ms. Yvette.

"I'll pack a bag after I leave here...I'm on leave of absence from my job anyway until this is all settled.

Bee Bee handed her a Portal...

"You can communicate with us through this...We'll give you updates on how your case is going every two days...That way you don't have to come down here so much." she explained.

Sofia handed her a Burner phone.

"Write this number down...remember it..Call us on this phone if you need to call us..Don't call our personal or business numbers.."she said.

"You guys are criminal defense attorneys...You operate almost like criminals." Alma laughed.

"Just joking." she added.

"We like to operate in stealth...We don't want any chance of our defense strategy being leaked.. We have our office swept a couple of times a week." I added..

''That's for your protection too..We don't want you compromised.... BY ANYBODY!" Kahlil said.

"I totally get it and thank you..." she said....

''Well, that's all for now.. We'll talk to you in two days." said Yvette.

"Okay Vettie, Guys...Thanks again..." said Judge Stephon White...

As they walked out...Stephon waved to Virginia..

"Take it easy Virginia." he said.

"You too!" said Virginia, smiling.

"You know the best lawyers...Last year Olivia and Beverly defended you when you were in trouble, I remember reading about it." said Alma..

He remembered being defended by Olivia ,Beverly and their associates, Nelson East, Josie Boyd and Bresha Billips..assisted by Olivia's husband, Donnie Ray Alexander.. He had had a monster crush on Olivia in law school... They had almost got together after law school, but she got married....Years later when he tried again, after her divorce...She got married again....All during that trial earlier in the year, he carried a torch for Olivia that was painfully obvious ,at least to Olivia.. Which is why he didn't go to them to defend his new girlfriend..

"I graduated from law school with Olivia and Yvette...We've known each other for years.."said Stephon proudly...

"Good to know my man is a baller and runs with such ballers." laughed Alma..

She gave him a slow and soft kiss as they stood by the elevators.

III-

THE NEXT DAY-

''With any luck we can wrap this up before Thanksgiving... The Federal courts are really moving their cases up."said Ms. Yvette... "Jade , what do you have?" she asked.

"Well everything she told us, appears to be the truth...Mother and father killed in a fiery automobile accident when she was 13 and her older brother was 18. Their aunt finished raising them... Brother was very protective...She went to The Philadelphia High School for Girls...graduated in the top five percent of her class...Went to Temple, where she was on the Dean's List practically every semester, except when she pledged Delta Sigma Theta..."said Jade..

"Oh My God...she's a soror.."said Bee Bee.

"She had graduated by the time we pledged."said Sofia.

"Anyway...she graduated with a B.A. in education and she went to Lasalle where she got her Masters in Education , all funded by Big brother's money...She has taught First and Second Grade and Special Needs children at three different schools...Got excellent reviews at all of them...Is very active in her church...Leads Voter Registration drives....and an advocate for children with special needs like autism , ASHD and the like, not a single arrest on her record..no juvenile file.. When she was arrested a week ago for this, It was her first time ever being in any trouble...... THE DEA has impounded her car and is trying to take her home though...."said Jade.

"Keith, I want you and Kahlil on that... Stop the government from impounding her car and her house..she's only been accused, not proven guilty....and she otherwise is an innocent citizen...They have no right."said Yvette.

"I'm on it Ms. Yvette." I said.

"We are on it Ms. Yvette, come on homey...Your office or mine?" said Kahlil.

"Doesn't matter." I said.

"Okay...We'll use mine."said Kahlil....

"Ladies, you know what I'll need for this case right?" asked Ms. Yvette.

"Predicates, Research of Laws pertaining to a case like this.."said Sofia...

and a thorough research of federal drug laws period."said Bee Bee.

"That's right.....Get to it..."said Ms. Yvette.. "With any luck...since this isn't murder...We can wrap this up quick before Thanksgiving."sighed Ms. Yvette.

''Does Anybody get that lucky?" asked Jade...

"I know right?" said Ms. Yvette...

NOT FAR FROM OUR BUILDING AT THE MARINA....

Alma Johnson smiles...

'''This is sooooooooo cool, my brother allowing me to stay here on this boat while we sort out my trial."said Alma.

''Alma, this boat is bought with drug money...You know that...If the Jury or the media finds out about this ,it's not going to look good for you.."said a skeptical Judge White.

"Look...it would look even worse if they found out...you, a Federal Judge was my boyfriend and I was staying with you....You can't be involved in this...Bad enough, you secured my attorneys for me... Right now, nobody knows any of that.....or where I'm staying... They gave me this Portal and this phone... I don't have to leave this boat....I have my meals delivered to me...and I keep a low profile...I don't have to leave here to visit my attorneys...It's perfect....and you can stay here with me..."explained Alma.

"You would have made a fantastic attorney, you're so convincing...."laughed Stephon....

"Nowwwwww. take your clothes off and let's break this bedroom in..." she said. They began to kiss passionately and slowly... He removed her sweater.....

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" he moaned...

She slowly and descretely ran her hands down his leg, felt his hardening erection and squeezed it a little bit....Her eyes grew wide and she looked at Stephon..

"Whooooooo...How long have you been carrying that anaconda in your shorts?? Whoooooooo!" she whispered...and then giggled.

She slowly broke thier embrace as he slipped his suit jacket off and attempted to cover the front of his pants casually...

"Wow" she said...and wiped her forehead..."There is no need to cover that thing up....UMMMMMMM it's coming out, right now....WOWWWWWWWWWW!" she said.

He unzippered her skirt.. She kicked her boots off....

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MYYYYY GODDDDDD!" he exclaimed.. slipping her panties down and off...

"Slip my panties to the side." she whispered..

"I want em off." he said.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUU YOUR HONOR....YOU'RE FRESH!" she laughed.

He stared down into those gorgeous brown eyes of hers and he entered her like nobody's business...he wanted to savor this experience, like a fine diner...So Stephon took his time...He made slow, steady sweet love to Alma for close to EIGHT TO NINE HOURS!

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.......UMMMMMMMMMMM YOU FEEL SO GOOOD!" she moaned.

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...so do you." I said.

The big luscious bed squeaked and the headboard slammed against the wall......

UMMMMMMMMMMMM...... UMMMMMMMMMMMM OH GODDDDDD...OUUUUUUUU!" he cried out!

Alma's body trembled, her head moved from side to side...tears flowed like a river from her eyes..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! UMMMMMMM STEPHON!!!" she cooed.

Stephon couldn't get enough and neither could Alma. He entered her softly and gently and began to stroke her softly and slowly....She moaned and put her arms around his neck and drew him closer to her..She wrapped her legs around his waste and they began to move in a slow, yet deliberate rhythm for quite some time as he lifted her up and long stroked her...

''Ohhhhh my Godddddddddddddddd, oooHHHHHHHHHHHHH......Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..." she moaned ..."Don't Stop...Don't Stoppppppppppp...please...don't stopppp." she moaned, which turned him on more...

She rode him cowgirl style on the bed....

They sat on the side of the bed and she moved up and down, kissing him passionately.....

"OUUUUUUUUU DON'T PULL OUT!!!! DON'T PULL OUTTTT!" she yelled..

Alma matched Stephon thrust for thrust and even bit his shoulder at one point...She was so soft...so moist and smelled so good...he was practically losing his mind....

They made sweet passionate and intense love for close to THREE MORE HOURS!!...

Alma began to shake and gyrate and tears began to stream down her face....

"It's sooooooooooooooo goooddd...Oh my godddddddddddddd it's soooooo gooood! "she moaned... as they retreated to the Yacht floor...

She was so moist, so soft...Stephon was losing his mind...

He pulled out of her and exploded like a gusher...all over the floor.

She was out of breath herself....

"That was...whoooooo..That was amazing..." she said...

She lie on his chest, breathing hard, trying to catch her breath...

"Go home,pack a bag....Stay with me , here...I've give you some more...I promise..Ouuuuuuuuu!" she pleaded...

"Okay....Okay..." he said, trying to catch his breath...

IV-

24 HOURS LATER-

"I called Stephon's Office...They said he called out this morning..." said Virginia.

"I called Alma , using the Burner phone I gave her too...It went to voicemail."said Ms. Yvette.

"I hit the satellite tower ....She's not that far from us....Apparently she's about a mile away at the Marina on a Yacht....I did some research...That boat belongs to, wait for it...Her Brother...one Leon "Lonnie" Johnson. That's where she's holing up."said Jade.

"They doin the Hibbity Bibbity...Trust and believe.."said Virginia... "I know my ex-husband...He wouldn't pass up an opportunity like that." laughed Virginia.

"The Kids are in court this morning....Federal Court ,arguing for her house and car... I suppose they could argue in absentia...but it's not a good look." said Virginia..

To her credit...Alma was in court on time this morning...Alone. Judge Stephon White was nowhere to be seen.. perhaps that was even better ,since as a Federal Judge, he could not involve himself with her case or legal defense.

The Four of us, Myself, Bee Bee, Kahlil and Sofia were arguing in Federal Court on Alma's behalf..

This put us up against Assistant U.S. Attorney, Todd Dellums, an old frenemy....Bee Bee's former fiance and a very good attorney , who like us came prepared..

The Judge was John Bedford...A tough and fair Judge, who Olivia and Beverly had faced.

"Your honor....My client has a sterling record....She went to The Philadelphia High School for Girls...graduated in the top five percent of her class...Went to Temple, where she was on the Dean's List practically every semester." I said.

"She graduated with a B.A. in education and she went to Lasalle where she got her Masters in Education , all funded by Big brother's money...She has taught First and Second Grade and Special Needs children at three different schools...Got excellent reviews at all of them...Is very active in her church...Leads Voter Registration drives....and an advocate for children with special needs like autism , ADHD and the like, not a single arrest on her record..no juvenile file.. When she was arrested a week ago for this, It was her first time ever being in any trouble." argued Kahlil.

"Your honor...She is the sister of Leon "Lonnie" Johnson, a major drug trafficker and DEA Agents found 25 Kilos of uncut Heroin in bricks, buried on her property last week, during a children's birthday party for crying out loud." argued AUSA Todd Dellums..

"A person can not help who they are related to...We do not get to pick our relatives... There is no proof , none whatsoever that Ms. Johnson has anything to do with her brother's alleged drug operation...To my knowledge, He has not been indicted , brought to trial or convicted of any crime to date." said Sofia..

"We are acting on assumption of innocence here... So it is punitive and just plain mean, to take her car and her home with no proof and no conviction as of yet for any crime."said Bee Bee.

Todd was livid... This was why he never wanted Bee Bee to follow him into law... He feared the day he might have to go up against her in court....It made him insecure....

"I am ruling that since indeed neither Ms. Johnson, nor her brother have been convicted of any crime it is premature to impound her car, or to take her home... I rule that these things be returned to her until there is time of a conviction of a crime."said Judge Bedford , who pounded his gavel... "Court is dismissed." he said.

Todd was livid...He tossed his jacket up in the air and kicked the table..

Bee Bee looked at him and shook her head, then turned away from him..

"You guys are the truth...Thank you soooo much!" said Alma, who hugged Bee Bee and then Sofia, then me and then Kahlil.

"You're welcome....Well part one is taken care of.."said Sofia..

"Yup. now let's get this possesion trial together...With any luck , we can wrap this up in a few days, just in time for thanksgiving.."I said.

"Nobody gets that lucky and least not us."said Kahlil...

She pulled out the burner phone we gave her and called Ms. Yvette...

"Hello...Ms. Yvette, your young attorneys are incredible...The Judge ruled in our favor...They were great...Super prepared, Super professional.. Just great...I am sooo happy to have my house and my car back." said an Ecstatic Alma Johnson....

And at the office... Yvette was ecstatic!!

"Well I'm glad they were able to get a ruling in your favor... They always prepare well...We don't prepare to lose..We prepare to win."said Yvette...

"Well, she got out of bed long enough to appear at the Federal hearing today.....I am pleasently surprised laughed Virginia...

"Hope springs eternal." said Jade.

HOURS LATER-

On a street corner in West Philadelphia.. speaking of eternal, a portly African-American man has met his eternal rest, thanks to two well placed bullets in the back of his head... He lie face down on the pavement.."

"I don't want to be the guy who has to lift this guy up on the gurney...."said one Crime Scene Investigator....which brought howls of laughter from the uniformed police at the scene and Medical examiner personell...

"Roll him over..."said Dr. Hazel Baylor..

"He was hit with two gunshot wounds to the back of the head...Looks like he never saw it coming..."said Dr. Marcy Martin....."Whew this guy is heavy....He must be 300 pounds.." she observed.

"His ID says he's a party planner and a caterer." said Hazel.

Police looked at the shell casings.

A Police Cruiser drove up... Three Uniformed policemen got out...and one man in a stylish suit...It signaled Lt. Tragg...

Lt. Tragg looked at the body...

"I know this guy, that's Two Ton Tony Watkins.... His day job is as a Party Planner and a Caterer...but everybody knows , he's the number two man for Leon "Lonnie" Johnson...a major trafficker in Narcotics...This is his bag man...."explained Lt. Tragg..

A group of DEA Agents walked up....

"That's right Lieutenant, that's exactly who he is and we've been watching him for awhile." said DEA Special Agent in Charge, Carol Redding-Cantrell. The wife of Captain Cantrell.. His superior.

"Well apparently not well...Somebody capped him tonight." said Lt. Tragg sarcastically...

Carol sighed... ''Well that may be true.. But he was our target...We were building a case against this man, hoping to flip him and turn him into a federal witness against Leon "Lonnie" Johnson, who has been on our radar for close to six months now. We'll take over from here.. He was a federal target. Our Authority supercedes yours." said Agent Carol Redding Cantrell softly...

"I'm afraid not darlin, this is MY HOMICIDE INVESTIGATION!"said Lt. Tragg..

"No it's not... This is a Federal Investigation....He's a federal target....She had an indictment for his arrest today....She just didn't get to him in time. I have the indictment right here. "said Assistant U.S. Attorney Todd Dellums.

"Well La deee dahhh.... All bets are off now counselor. Get out of my way and get off my crime scene.."said Lt. Tragg...

"Look, I've had a bad day today...Don't compound it...by making it any worse..Now Back up damn it!"said AUSA Todd Dellums. " JUST BACK OFF! THIS IS A FEDERAL INVESTIGATION!!!" said Todd..

"You didn't get enough the last time I knocked you on your can, did you? said Lt. Tragg, who was frustrated at Dellum's federal agents spying on him and getting arrested everytime he went near one of us...and just itching for some revenge...

He belted Todd Dellums in the jaw, spinning him around..

The tension broke...The fight that was spoiling between them raged again...

Todd Dellums punched him in his face with 17 lefts and 17 Rights and hit him in his stomach,,backing him up... He landed 6 more left and six more rights to his face...Lt. Tragg was taking a beating..

Todd was taking the frustration of losing to us in court today to a showdown with Lt. Tragg for the third or fourth time.

Lt. Tragg was so angry he hit Todd in his face with 17 lefts and 17 rights of his own and delivered an uppercut which sent him flying into the crowd,

Before anybody could grab him, Todd returned to the fight.. punched him in his face with 17 more lefts and 17more Rights and hit him in his stomach,,backing him up... He landed 6 more lefts and six more rights to his face...Lt. Tragg was taking a serious beating tonight ..as astounded onlookers watched. He looked dazed, confused...His face was unrecognizable.....His suit jacket was torn in two places..and blood was trickling from his nose and his mouth...His lip was swollen and purple...

Lt. Tragg swung two haymakers that completely missed...He lost his balance and fell to the ground like a drunken sailor...Tonight was not his night.. The crowd of bystanders clapped and laughed...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUU......OOOOOOOF...UGHHHHHH!" he groaned, getting to his feet slowly..

Of course, Dr. Hazel Baylor was enjoying the hell out of this... She despised Lt. Tragg and could be heard laughing the loudest...The CSI guys and uniformed police knew that they had better not be seen laughing..

Marcy smiled and shook her head..

Carol Redding shook her head...

She grabbed her phone and made a call...Her husband had told her of Lt. Tragg ever gave her any trouble to call the Deputy of Operations.. That was what she was doing. This had gotten way out of hand..

Lt. Tragg got to his feet. He staggered...

Lt. Tragg's perfect hair was all over the place, his shirt was out of his pants...his tie was loose, his suit jacket was torn... Both of his eyes were nearly swollen shut and blackened.. His nose was bleeding and his lip was swollen...His cheek was discolored..He looked a mess.

One of the police officers passed him a cell phone.

"Call for you Lieutenant. It's the Deputy of Operations." he said.

He snatched the phone.

"Yes sir... I'm sorry someone woke you sir... I know what time of night this is... No sirrrr, I am not out of my mind...WHAT?? GIVE THE HOMICIDE TO THE FEDS??? ARE YOU SERIOUS SIR??" No my head is not up my ass sir... I hear that you are serious... I am to give Special Agent in Charge Carol Redding-Cantrell my full co-operation...Yes sirrrr, Sirrrrr... No sir, I do not have an attitude...Yes sirrrr, sirrrrrrrrrr , Good Night ,sirrrrrrrr. No sirr, YES SIRRRR SIRRRRRRRR, I fully understand sirrrrr!" he said.

He was livid....He looked at Carol.

"It's all yours Mrs. CANTRELL!!! " he said snidely.. "Come on Boys,let's go home." he snarled, walking away..He didn't even look Todd Dellums way..

The crowd really got a show tonight.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Todd Dellums was no better..His hair was all over the place, his shirt was out of his pants...his tie was loose, his suit jacket was torn... Both of his eyes were nearly swollen shut and blackened.. His nose was bleeding and his lip was swollen...He too looked a mess.
