THE OFFICE OF SPECIAL PROSECUTOR LISA HAYDEN-

"These are the dossiers you wanted on the Attorneys who will be arguing for Rahim Muhhamad's exoneration...

I understand he was transferred to a Holding Facility here in Philadelphia a few days ago.. He's been visited by these Attorneys, His two sons and their wives and his daughter and her husband...They even brought grand-children he hadn't seen before.... The Attorneys brought food and everything...It was real festive...Too good, much too good for a killer like him... His victim doesn't get to dine with her grandchildren.." said former FBI Agent, Now A High priced Private Investigator named Bert Vandenberg, who was very attracted to Lisa Hayden... He was sitting down trying to hide the huge bulge in his trousers, which unknown to him, she had noticed and was quite impressed by..

"If she was alive, Nora Daniels would not be eating dinner with any grand children...I'm just saying.. She and her husband, detective Jack Daniels didn't have any children and she was planning to divorce him at the time of her death...Just to keep it factual Mr.Vandenberg..." she said and smiled.

"But of course " said Bert, smiling...his erection growing even larger...

He poured himself a cup of coffee....

''Are you nervous Bert? There is no need to be.. Thank you for the dossiers on the Attorneys I'll be facing.. They're uh all young, very young..At least four of them are....but I see they've been involved in tons of trials....Their Boss is very astute..I've heard of her...She recently made partner.....She has trained them well....You got anything on Stewart James..

The Attorney in the two Original trials?" she asked..

Before Bert could answer, Lt. Tragg barged in the room...

"YEAH, I KNOW ABOUT HIM.....HE's AN OLD RUMMY...HE'S RETIRED FROM PRACTICING LAW IN THE COURTROOM, BUT HE TEACHES LAW IN BAYSIDE AT MIDDLETON LAW SCHOOL...HE'S OF NO USE TO YOU..HE WON'T TELL YOU ANYTHING AND HE WON'T COME NEAR THE PROCEEDINGS....HE'S LEFT THAT IN THE HANDS OF HIS ONE TIME STUDENT, YVETTE JONES-LOCKWOOD!" bellowed Lt. Tragg before getting a good look at her..

"Well VA VA VA VOOOOOOOOOOOOM!" he thought to himself.. "I'm Arthur Tragg, Lieutenant Arthur Tragg at your service baby!" he said raffishly...

"Yes , I know who you are.. You were one of the detectives who made the arrest...I understand your partner, Domenick Evans is now an inmate at Stanga State Correctional Facility, serving Life for murdering the very ADA who prosecuted this case originally..." said Lisa Hayden... "Oh, I'm Lisa Hayden...Special Prosecutor on this case..." she said.

"VA VA VA VOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! I'M ARTHUR TRAGG, LIEUTENANT ARTHUR TRAGG OF HOMICIDE AND ANY HELP YOU NEEEEEED!!! I'M ON IT, ABOUT IT AND HERE TO REPRESENT IT BABY...YEAHHHHHHH!" he found himself saying..

Lt. Arthur Tragg put the B. in Buzz Kill as far as Bert Vandenberg was concerned...The excitement he had had for Lisa Hayden had subsided and was replaced by irritation at Arthur Tragg even being here.

"That won't be neccesary Artie... I'll be doing the investigation for this case.. She's hired me." said Bert Vandenberg.

''Bert please! I believe I am a little closer to this investigation than you are....I was there you know..Heh heh Heh..." laughed Lt. Tragg to Bert's chagrin.

"That is correct! Bert is my investigator...but any insight into this case you can give me would be much appreciated." said Lisa Hayden diplomatically...She wanted to avoid a "pissing match" between the two men... She knew how Cops and P.I.'s often got territorial about things..

''And listen...perhaps you and I could uh go out for dinner, I know a place that makes steaks this thick." he said using his thumb and his fore finger to describe the steaks...and the driest Martini's ever... A couple of drinks, some dinner, some quiet conversation and uh you know...We might get to know each other better you know? I could uh better fill you in on this case in uh ruh private setting, heh , heh ,heh." he laughed.

"That sounds uh...uh ruh, very nice..but uh...I uh want to concentrate on this case right now....Can I take a rain check?" she said diplomatically.

''Sure Baby, Sure....It doesn't rain that long..Heh Heh Heh" he laughed.

Bert Vandenberg was livid...but he couldn't show it...

"Well Artie if uh you don't have anything else....We'll be seeing you...We were having a private meeting here." said Bert Vandenberg..

"WHAT?" said Lt. Tragg, standing there balefully staring.

Miles Away...We were all in our building, safe and secure from Lt. Tragg...

Having Breakfast with our friends and fellow attorneys.

"Vettie I heard that you've got the gears in motion for this hearing...Your client has already been transferred here to a secure holding facility and has got to see his family...That's so nice and makes him feel a lot better. You know, human contact." said Jazzy.

"After you get his conviction overturned....and I know you will, I want to look into getting him some money from the State to compensate hm for 12 years of hell." said Dabnis.

"You won't believe this Dabnis, but I was going to look into talking to you about that.,..I know what you did for Judge Percy Reynolds and this is far , far worse...What this man has had to go through."said Yvette.

"He was just two weeks from being executed, when we got this motion for a stay of execution..

Ms. Yvette is a great teacher and Attorney, She taught me so much in how she handled this motion, How she and Ms. Virginia wrote it up." I said.

"YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!" agreed my wife Bee Bee....

"We just didn't use the same type of language or have everything in place the last time.."sighed Sofia.

"But, you live through these things and you learn." said Kahlil..

''Don't be getting down on yourselves... I remember that case...I was there with you...You did everything humanly possible and your briefs for a stay of execution were flawless, but it was a different kind of case, you didn't have a sympathetic client.. He was already convicted of a murder, he did committ, He then escaped, helped hold up a sporting goods store and another murder was committed. He didn't commit that one, but it was hard to get sympathy for a man like that..This is a different type of case guys...You have a Father of three, a family run business and a client with no priors, not even a parking ticket , accused of something that is circumstantial at best.. You guys were alright...We got a real shot now..." said Ms. Yvette.

"Yes...I remember that case.. You guys were young attorneys and you did great considering the circumstances.. You have nothing to be ashamed of... Sometimes, you don't always get the results you want, even with the hardest work and the best intentions." said Ms. Virginia.

''We do.. And if Lt. Tragg stays out of our way, I can get some real investigating done."said Jade.

"Oh My God...He's been on a rampage the past few days...

I stopped in Sam Mother's a few days ago with Jazzy , Brookie and Natalie. We all had seperate court appearencess...

He whined and complained and harraunged us, asking us where you guys were... he still doesn't know we all work in the same building or anywhere near each other.. He wouldn't get up from our table..So we got our orders to go and just left." said Kayla.

''Good Thing I wasn't there.."said Kayla's husband, Ray.. ''Hey Vettie, I wanted to know if my man Tony here.could Piggy Back off of you guys, come up and work with you, Research, Trial preparation..It would be good training for him." asked Ray.

"I uh wouldn't be any trouble...I'd uh just watch." said Ray...

"Of course you can come up ...We can still use a little help... The girls with Research and The Guys with Juror selection...and you can help me and Virginia with the reading of original trial transcripts, from the second trial..I;m going to put you to work...No standing around looking." laughed Yvette.

"I'd be most appreciative... My wife told me how much she enjoyed working with you guys when she was interning."said Tony...

Speaking of his wife, Bresha Billips...Who works for Olivia and Beverly as part of their team..

"Bresha was, is a doll baby...She worked with me and Chip too...."said Jessica..

"And if you're anything like her..You'll learn a lot being a part of this kind of investigation....Jessica and I worked with Olivia and Beverly on a death row case recently...We stayed in Greene,Pa.

with the condemend man and Liv, Bev, Donnie Ray, Josie ,Nelson and Bree communicated with us constantly..helping us win his exoneration and release. Through Daily Portal reports." said Chip.

"I remember when you guys were away for a week and Liv and company were communicating with you and you guys saved that guy from execution, got him released." said Yvette.

''We have such a great ,close knit group of friends...I've never seen anything like this before...Such a brain trust." said Virginia.,

II-

Tony Billips was a godsend...He turned out to be a whiz at Trial research...

Helping Bee Bee and Sofia with looking up Predicates, Like Cases and Laws related to this case..

he said he had done this type of work for the Senior Associates at his previous law firm.

And in our media room...

David Charles was a quick study on Jury selection and a marvel at how we went about picking a juror from the jury pool.. Jurors Jade had done a complete breakdown on...

He learned quick and was able to jump right in and help Khalil and I..

Ms. Yvette and Jade studied witness statements from both trials and noticed how they differed slightly....

"It's been 12 years..Some of these people have since died." sighed Ms. Yvette.

"And some of their memories are fuzzy, but we have what they said on record as our guide."said Jade.

She was looking at Crime Scene Photos and reading the Autopsy report again...

Ms. Virginia, although no longer a practicing attorney, due to disbarment, had been reading the trial transcripts so much and been so much a part of this that she felt as if she was a practcing attorney...The only thing she wouldn't be doing was going into the courtroom...She was so grateful to Ms. Yvette for making her feel a part of things...There are other places she might have worked , where she would have been completely shut out...Her opinion wouldn't have been asked for , for anything...She was grateful to be working here with Yvette.

"Hey Guys look at this..." said Jade. "It's a photo of Detective Jack Daniels...The husband of the slain murder victim...You know he didn't come to either trial.. He wasn't needed to...I suppose...and he wasn't photographed that much....He only did a few interviews on Television, but look in almost every photo his hands are behind his back or hidden...but look at this one..a rare one." said Jade.

"OH MY GOD!!!" exclaimed Yvette..

"He's missing two fingers..." I said.

''His pinky and his ring finger!" said Bee Bee.

"Ewwwwww that is nasty..."said Sofia.

"Wait...this weird hand print and DNA was found on the murder weapon in addition to Rahim's fingerprints...and this weird handprint...with two missing fingers...was found in Rahim's house..

"It was never identified and the two detectives treated it as an afterthought...It was buried and at the last minutes...The ADA buried it and it was not allowed in the trial.. The Jury never knew about it in either trial...It was ruled inconsequential." said Sofia.

"I wonder if when Tragg and Evans did their investigation they discovered this and one or both of them decided to bury this.. meaning they both knew there was a possiblity their fellow officer , their fellow detective was responsible for this all along." said Bee Bee.

"They knew it and those two and the ADA all covered it up!" I said.

"If you're going to make that charge, you need proof and proof we don't have... We don't have time to delve into a conspiracy, but what we do want to do is prove that there was someone else there, someone else who more than likely committed this murder...My money is on former detective Jack Daniels...I don't know how he made it on the police force with that kind of impairment..." said Ms. Yvette.

" He was injured in a woodshop accident when he was a teenager in high school in which he lost two fingers on his left hand...That injury kept him out of The Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard... He graduated from Community College with an Associates Degree and was surprisingly accepted at the Police Academy, where he was an Honor Graduate...The Other Honor Graduates in his class were get this.. Present Captain, Eddie Cantrell, Our own Lieutenant Arthur Tragg and Jack Daniels.. The Three of them graduated together...

Domenick Evans was Lt. Tragg and Jack Daniels training officer... Jack Daniels, Arthur Tragg and Eddie Cantrell went from Beat Cop to Roller to Detectives... With Jack and Arthur making Sgt before Eddie Cantrell...By the time Eddie Cantrell made Sgt. both Arthur Tragg and Jack Daniels were on the short list for Lieutenant....Jack didn't make Lieutenant...but both Arthur Tragg and Eddie Cantrell did..With Eddie Cantrell now making Captain...

Domenick Evans , Arthur Tragg and Jack Daniels were all Detective Sgt's at the time of this murder...with Evans having so many complaints and write ups against him that any forward movement on his part was a dream...Same with Jack Daniels, Insubordination, numerous civilian brutality complaints, drunk and disorderly and numerous restraining orders and cease and desist orders against him by his wife, who had moved out and had filed for divorce...

They had an ironclad pre nup in which he was to get 2.5 million in the case of a divorce and nothing more.. She was in the process, according to her attorney, our friend, Arthur Trout

of cutting him off completely at the time of her death.." said Jade.

"You've got your motive right there..."said Ms. Virginia. "That's a hell of a motive... he was her husband.. before he moved out... He had access to her panty drawer...He removed those panties and that bra...He broke into Rahim's apartment and he placed them there...That's why his handprint is in two places in Rahim's apartment and on the murder weapon." said Virginia.

"For a cop, that's pretty sloppy...Why'd he snatch a clean pair of panties and a bra? He should have gone in the hamper and taken a pair she'd at least worn." said Tony..

"Look at the type of guy who set this up and look at the two boobs who did the investigation...Even if you give them the benefit of the doubt and say they didn't know about this...That still proves they did a shoddy investigation." said David Charles.

We all laughed.

"Do we have his fingerprints or DNA?...As a civil servant , they should be on file."I asked.

"Surprisingly..his prints vanished from his civil service file about...wait for it...12 years ago, never to be seen again...And since he wouldn't be in VICAP and nobody bothered to search the Civil Service records then, it is a moot point...But I did discover one thing...He eats and drinks at a Lobster spot here in Philly... He prefers to eat and drink alone.. I can get it the old fashioned way...."said Jade.

"I want him served with a subpoena... I'm sure if he's watched Television, he would recognize, me, Keith, Bee Bee, Mamasita or Kahlil..but you Jade and maybe Virginia , he wouldn't recognize.." said Yvette.

"I'm down....You need prints and DNA right? I can get it..."said Virginia..

"Get that subpoena ready and I'll serve it."said Jade.

"Guys...we got him!" said Ms. Yvette.

"We'll solve the mystery of Three Fingered Jack" I said.

"Yesss!" said Bee Bee.

"We won't let them supress this evidence.Not this time." said Sofia.

"I just pray we get a decent Judge." said Kahlil.

III-

At A Hip Bar, not far from our building.... Special Prosecutor, Lisa Hayden and Private Investigator, Bert Vandenberg... were having drinks...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuu Bert you told Arthur Tragg we would meet him at Curley's tonight...We're as far from there as possible." laughed Special Prosecutor Lisa Hayden..

"I did that purposely...It was the only way to get rid of him...We gave him how many hints huh?" said Private Investigator, Bert Vandenberg...

"He had the nerve to put two of his tracking devices on my car and one on yours....Like I wasn't going to find it.. Hell I was in the FBI for a number of years...I did this for a living. I disabled three of them and tossed them in the trash...and the one...I left in your office...Tha ought to slow him down...I wonder how long it'll take before he realizes we gave him the slip? " laughed Bert Vandenberg..

"Ouuuuu you sound like you wanted me all to yourself ." laughed Lisa Hayden.

"I did! I find you very attractive,,, I'd like to get to know you better outside of this case...I would have never got to say that wth Arthur Tragg sniffing around you....us.." said Bert Vandenberg...

"Ouuuu, I'm kind of attracted to you too Bert." she laughed..

He was with Lisa Hayden, alone, halfway across town She was quite a drinker.. He thought he introduced her to Tequila..but he was wrong!! It had an amazing effect on her...It made her horny as hell, She unzippered his trousers at the bar and began fondling him...He had his hands up her dress, deep into her panties....both of them were moaning to the point that other patrons unaware of what they were doing were looking at them.

They bought two bottles and devoured both bottles completely within THREE HOURS!

He was trying his best to control himself, but he couldn't.. He had to firmly remove her hands and fix his clothing..

''Bert let's go to a hotel....There are a few in this area," she said, pulling out a Credit card....It's on the city's dime." she said.

"Oh My God!" said Bert...

Within an hour, they had both checked into the Sheraton, which was not far from our building...

Her key was barely in the door before they were engulfed in smouldering hot ,kisses..

He had her blouse open and off and was fumbling with her bra.....

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW SWEEET BABYYYYY!" he moaned.

"BERT, I'M AS HORNY As A CAT IN HEAT!! MEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!" she cooed.

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm BERTTTT! " she moaned as they kissed passionately....

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH VA VA VA VOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!" he cried out.

as he slipped her panties down...

He bent her over the sink....

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.......OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH GODDDDDDDDD!" she moaned. She was having an intense orgasm already! Her body trembling.

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.....OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU LISAAAA!" he moaned....

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW..VA VA VA VOOOOOOOOOOOM!" he moaned.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she moaned.. She was passionate enough when sober, but drunk she was even more horny and more passionate..

They were on the living room floor really going at it....

Drunk, She was prone to do things she had never done before...They sat on the side of the bed and she moved up and down on him and kissed him passionately.

They went in the bedroom and made sweet love for the next NINE TO TEN HOURS.

She admired his stamina. He admired hers...She was driving him to near delirium...

She rode him cowgirl style...riding him like a surfer rides the waves..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.......OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH GODDDDDDDDD!" she moaned. She was having another intense orgasm! Her body trembling...

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM...OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WEEEEEEEE!" he screamed out, cumming so hard, he felt as if he was going to die..

It was near daybreak and she was still kissing him passionately...

Within a few minutes , he found himself mounting her again.....

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU BERT!!! YOU DIRTY BOYYYYYYY!!! OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she moaned..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.....OHHHHHHHHHHHH SWEEET BABY!"

he moaned...

The bed was squeaking something terrible.....Outside their room, the bell hops and the maids were looking at each other and smiling sheepishly at the noise that was being made...The headboard was slamming against the wall.....

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YOU DON'T KNOW HOW LONG I'VE WANTED TO DO THIS TO YOUUUUUUUUU, UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM" moaned Bert..

"I SAW THAT HUGE BULGE IN YOUR TROUSERS THE MINUTE YOU WALKED IN MY OFFICE,SO I CAN IMAGINE....OUUUUUUUUUUUUU...OUUUUUUUUUUU OH MY GODDDDDD BERRRRRRTTTT!!!" she moaned loudly...

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW..VA VA VA VOOOOOOOOOOOM!" he moaned.

Another FIVE TO SIX HOURS easily cruised by.....

While They were in a hotel room canoodling....Miles away in another part of the city...A working class area there stood an old seafood and steak neighborhood restaurant....We had all been here with Olivia and crew before..We were here again tonight.

We sat across the street in Ms. Jade's 2021 Nissan Pathfinder.

"jade's information was correct..Like clockwork he comes in here every Wednesday Night ,same time" said Ms. Yvette.

"Yeah, I saw him...He's missing a pinky and a ring finger...Now if we can get that print...and some DNA." I said.

"Ms. Jade knows her stuff, she's come through for us before... Virginia's got the subpoena and the plastic evidence baggies Hazel lent us in that big pocketbook of hers... "laughed Ms. Yvette. 'she told me,some guy who wanted to sleep with her bought her that pocketbook before she went to prison...She always thought it was ugly and never took it out, but she kept it all these years...She said it finally came in handy for something." she said, laughing..

"At least you and I don't have to run after somebody and risk breaking a heel and or tearing our pantyhose."said my wife, Bee Bee , high fiving her friend, Sofia..

"Girrrrrrrrrrrrl Aint that the truth....Beverly and Josie have told me horror stories of their days serving subpoenas..." said Sofia.

Kahlil came back to the car with some coffees...

"Here you are ladies and Gent.. Coffee's , just the way you like em!" said a smiling Kahlil..

''Thank you Papi"

She rewarded him with a sweet kiss.

"Thank you Kahlil." said Bee Bee.

"Much obliged Homie." I said.

"Thank You Kahlil..." said Yvette.

Kahlil produced a box of doughnuts....

"He was getting ready to close so he gave me these at Half price." he said.

''Thank you Papi" said Sofia again..

Again, rewarding him with a sweet kiss....

''You're the man tonight Homie." I said.

"Yes you arrrrre Kahlil, Thank you." said Bee Bee.

Yvette smiled... "Thank you Kahlil.

Retired Detective, Jack Daniels sat in his regular seat... He ordered Three big glasses of Beer, A Lobster plate and some Shrimps and Cole Slaw...He always loved his seafood...Wednesday Night was the night he treated himself..He usually ate alone..

He guzzled down three big mugs of beer and made a loud burp! He laughed at what he'd done.

He had a copy of THE PHILADELPHIA DAILY NEWS.. he looked at the Sports section as he enjoyed his food. and then glanced at a news item on the second page.

Rahim Muhhamad...the new Muslim name the former Everett Johnson had taken had been scheduled to be executed in a couple of weeks.. His execution had been stayed..He had been transferred to a holding facility here in Philly, awaiting a hearing..

It had a photo of his attorneys.

YVETTE JONES-LOCKWOOD-LEAD ATTORNEY

KEITH JONES

BEATRIVE EVANS-JONES

SOFIA GARCIA-AHMED

KAHLIL AHMED

A Cold chill went down his spine...He had thought this sordid mess had been put to bed a long time ago.. 12 years ago to be exact... That old Rummy Stewart James had even won a new trial for him in 2012 and had lost again...He thought it was over and Muhhamad or Johnson, whatever his name was

conviction was a fore gone conclusion....Now these lawyers were bringing it back up, WHY? what was their stake in it ? he wondered.. Four of these five lawyers were so young, they probably don't even remember the case.. They were just kids, in grade school, maybe middle school when it happened. And even the lead Attorney...She looks like she was a young Attorney herself....he thought.

He was furious... The Original ADA was dead! His Old Training Officer, Sgt. Domenick Evans was himself in prison....the only one who could help him was Artie...Now Lieutenant Arthur Tragg... Imagine that....Out of the three of them, Domenick, Himself and Artie...Artie went the farthest....Him and Eddie Cantrell... He understood that Ed Cantrell was now Captain.... Affirmative Action he reasoned.. He had to call Artie.

"WOW...you made short work of that Lobster, those shrimps too! Must have been good huh?" said Virginia, walking by him..

He looked her up and down....She was an attractive and well dressed Black woman...Not the type that usually came in this place.

"Hey Don't I know you? Aren't you a lawyer ??" he asked.

''Well I used to be.. I got in a little trouble, got disbarred...Did a seven year bid upstate...I got paroled last spring."said Virginia.

"Yeah, I remember you...Virginia Shaw....Big time attorney....You were an Assistant District Attorney, you prosecuted the former Deputy Of Operations...sent him away for six years....He killed himself the same day he was supposed to surrender himself...A lot of cops were mad at you about that...And you wind up going to the joint yourself...Aint that nothin.....So uh what are you doin for yourelf now?" he asked.

''Well, I work as an Office Manager and Consultant for McCluskey/Cozen/Connor & Pratt, Attorneys at Law...I work for one of the partners...I got married to a Judge recently and we bought a house."said Alfreda.

''Wowwwww looks like things worked out well for you..." he laughed...

Jade walked up while they were chatting..

''Are you Jack Daniels sir?" she asked..

"Yeah, who wants to know?" he asked the very attractive Asian woman...

"Yvette Jones -Lockwood, Attorney at law wants to know..She would like your presence in court..As a witness in the case of Commonwealth vs. Muhammad." said Jade, slapping the Subpoena in his lap....

"SON OF A BITCH!" he yelled slamming his fist on the table! he had finished his meal and his three beers..He tossed some dollars on the table..and abruptly got up...He yelled at Jade.

"THAT CASE WAS SETTLED TWO TIMES, IN 2010 and 2012...WHY DON'T YOU GLORYHOUNDS LEAVE IT ALONE?? HUH??? JUST LEAVE IT THE HELL ALONE!!!" he screamed and stormed out...

He got in his car and pulled off at Top Speed..

He never saw us sitting across the street...

Jade walked up....

''He's been served." she said, smiling.

" I have all three beer glasses he drank from, knives and forks and even the dollars he used to pay for his meal.. I paid with my credit card.. Everything he touched is in here.. We have his Prints and His DNA...This should be more than enough."said Virginia.

"Great Job....we have some doughnuts and coffees saved for both of you." said Ms. Yvette.

"Coffee and Doughnuts?? I want some of that Lobster and shrimps he just ate."laughed Virginia.

Jade, Ms. Yvette, Me, Bee Bee, Sofia and Kahlil broke out into loud raucous laughter.

We all got in the car, still laughing...

and pulled off into the Philadelphia Night!

IV-

Lt. Tragg sat in Curley's Bar until 1:45....It was quite obvious that Neither Bert Vandenberg nor Lisa Hayden was going to show.. He was livid.. Bert had purposely told him they were coming there and had spirited Lisa somewhere else to have her all too himself..

He tracked his GPs Tracking device to her office at city hall...It was almost two in the morning.. There was no sign of either of them..The office was empty and he found one of his tracking devices..

in the trash...

He stood there with a baleful expression on his face,...Once again, he had been made a fool of.. He kicked a metal waste basket until it dented...He was so mad...

Not a good night for him...

For us, it was another story....

"Hot Stuff, you couldn't wait could you?" whispered Bee Bee to me as soon as we got inside our house and in our bedroom.

"No I couldn't." I said..

Kissing her and helping her out of her clothing...

and slipping her beautiful lace bikini panties down and off..

I lifted her petite but round and curvy body up and entered that soft wet center...

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM HUSBAND, YOU ARE SO HARD, SOOO BIG!" she cried out..

Later I placed her on the bathroom sink, spread her legs apart and entered her again, slowly and gently...

She had a quick orgasm and held on to me for dear life..

We sat on the side of the bed and Bee Bee rode me passionately, moving slowly up and down and experiencing another intense orgasm..while kissing me slowly, softly...

and eventually settling down as we began to make sweet love.

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM PAPI" moaned Sofia, Next door... They tore into each other the moment the door of their house closed.

"AWWWWWWWWW MAMASITA!" moaned Kahlil.

They were kissing in their living room.. They didn't make it to their bedroom..

Kahlil helped her out of her clothes..

And right there in their living room , he lifted her up and entered her slowly...

"All those kisses you gave me tonight mamasita....You knew what you were doing." he said.

"Turning you on?" she asked.

"Yes.. Turning me on." he said.

He placed her on the kitchen sink and spread her legs open and entered her slowly...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" he moaned.

"Papi tomorrow afternoon , remind me to scrub this down real good with some Comet cleanser...We shouldn't be doing the nasty up on this counter." said Sofia...

On the couch She rode him cowgirl style, driving him to near delirium...

They wound up making love on their sofa..

"We haven't screwed on the sofa, since we lived in the apartments." said Kahlil.

"I knowwwwwwwww...I knowwwww." said Sofia.

And a few doors down-

"Gary you won't believe this, but I am soooo horny for you right this minute." said Ms. Yvette

"Why wouldn't I believe it? Whether you are or not...I'm hot for you." said Gary..

"You're always Hot for me and all hard and large.." giggled Ms. Yvette.

He slipped her panties down and off..

They kissed passionately in the middle of the floor as Ms. Yvette gently stroked him and he squeezed her butt..

"UMMMMMMMMMM GARRRY!" she cooed.

"AWWWWWWWWWW VETTTIE GIRRRRRL" he moaned.

He wasted no time humping her across the bed.

and on top of it..

Jade and Danny were of few words when it came to sex..

They quietly kissed passionately

They quietly and slowly made love well into the the early morning..

"UMMMMMMMMMMM LOOKA HERE,LOOKA HERE, LAWDDD!" exclaimed Jetty upon seeing his wife when she got home.

"I knew you'd be up when I got home , in more ways than one.. My goodness...Jetty,that thing is huge.." she exclaimed.. Stroking him gently..

They kissed slowly and softly as he slipped her panties down and off.

'Ouuuuuuuuuuuu....ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm...Oh my god Alfreda, you're driving me crazy..."moaned Jetty...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh work me , work me daddy, work me like a job...ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, oh my goodness..." moaned Virginia...
