VENTURES: Positive I.D.

THREE DAYS LATER-

We were having lunch in our conference room with our friends from the WRONGFUL CONVICTION UNIT and THE INNOCENCE PROJECT , to our extreme surprise..Lt. Tragg had done no press conferences..The Body had not been identified yet and we had gotten involved in another case altogether...We had teamed up with the Innocence Project and Wrongful Conviction unit and gotten a young attractive teacher who was arrested and convicted of sexually abusing one of her students thrown out...The who thing had been a lie and her conviction of two months ago was completely thrown out...

We had gotten some Guava Punch and some cubans and grilled Italian Stuffed Sandwiches off of our favorite food truck ,outside of our building..

"Vettie thank you and your guys so much for assisting us on that case....I was surprised you all wrapped it up so fast....and thank you again for allowing us to use your office for the next two weeks while the city engineers construct real offices in our suite..."said ADA Karen Page of the Wrongful Conviction Unit...

"Not a problem...This case allowed me to work with my hubby for the past two days..." said Yvette, who was sitting on Gary's lap..

As an Investigator for the D.A.'s Office now , he was shared by Rockland Cambridge and Karen Page...He loved to come down here and work with Karen and her staff...It meant he got to work with his wife and her staff too ot at least see them...He smiled, but said nothing...He was enjoying Yvette's warmth and her great fragrance as well as some of the tastiest sandwiches he had ever eaten..The combonation was driving him insane.

"Gary, you and Jade did an excellent investigative job. That stupid Lieutenant who made the arrest...Kicking down her door with a tactical squad reminds me of another Lieutenant who shall not be named, who didn't investigate any of the allegations at all..."said Karen...

"Maybe they are cousins..."said Jade...

The room erupted in loud laughter.... It was so nice having our own suite in this building...We had a lot of freedom and we were away from the eyes of the larger firm and the partners.

Bee Bee smiled and rubbed David Charles's back...

''We are going to miss you next week...You'll be off and staying across the street from us at Olivia and Beverly's place." she said.

'Yeah, but it'll be different....I'll be by myself.." said David Charles.... It would be the week before he and Natalie would be getting married.. It was customary that the groom not see the Bride for one week before the wedding. Most of us guys hated it..

"Oh it's just one week silly...Then you can have me for a lifetime.." said Natalie, laughing and flattered that a guy liked her that much that he didn't want to be seperated from her for a week...

''Awwwww that is sooooo cute." said Sofia..

''Hey David...We all hate that custom, but we've all had to do it..."I said.

"Yeah man...we've all had to do it..It's kind of like a rite of passage...You'll be alright...We'll all stop by, play some cards, listen to some music.. Olivia and Beverly won't mind..they are very accomodating..and they'll feed you too!"said Kahlil..

Again, we all laughed.

''Believe it or not...I didn't like the weeklong seperation either."said Jessica Sanchez-Burrows..

"That's because I was laying some mean pipe.." whispered Chip...

''Quiet Papi, not in here..but yes, you were and I missed it...OUUUUUU!" blushed Jessica, rubbing his legs..

'We've all been there...For the record, I don't like the "custom" either...My poor Hubby was about to die, not having me for a week.."laughed Virginia...

''Yessss lawddd!"agreed Jetty...

Brooke and her husband, Sean arrived just then with their sandwiches...

''Sorry we are late...That line around that truck was longgg and Sean took so long to get here...I had to order for him.." said Brooke as she sat down.at our table...

"Hey Yvette, guys, I have some news for you....I don't know if you know...but the Medical Examiner's Office has made a Positive Identification of that body found floating in the river a few days ago.. It is Lenny Fischer...He was identified by dental records and DNA from family members... His death is listed as a Homicide.. Due to a gunshot wound to the head and the fact that his body was weighted down with cement overshoes and covered with tarp..."said Sean...

''Well, now we wait and see what happens next..."said Ms. Yvette.

"Let's see...The Lt. Tragg Press Conference.." I said.

"He's got a body now and a name.." said Kahlil..

"He'll jump to conclusions and arrest someone..."said Bee Bee.

"The wrong person as usual." said Sofia..

''Yeah that's about it.. but we are more than ready...We prepped all of the charactor witnesses and his alibi witnesses as well during this case we worked with you Karen..." said Yvette.

"You guys have been busy the past few days...I've noticed.."said Gary..

"All we need to do now is find a Judge." said Jade.

"And a Jury..."laughed Yvette.

II-

The Apartment of Trevor and Candance Hamilton...

"UMMMMMMMMMM CANDACE,,,,,OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"moaned Trevor as he slipped his wife's panties down..and continued to practically slobber over her as he kissed her passionately...

"Ouuu Trevor, what has gotten into you? Here of lately, you can't keep your hands off of me...We are doing it every day now...WOUUUUUU!"exclaimed Candace Hamilton.

He didn't answer.

They were in bed making love for the next EIGHT TO NINE HOURS, both of them cumming numerous times before they finished..

They took a romantic hot shower together afterwords....

"Ouuuuu Trevor, you haven't been this romantic in years....Constantly making love to me nearly every day, twice a day sometimes and three times on Saturday....Ouuuuuuuuu how many orgasms can a girl have?" she giggled.

"Trevor I certainly appreciate the attention you've started giving me... I almost thought you were a seeing another woman..."laughed Candace as they sat in the living room..

''Me? Another woman..I thought you were seeing another man....That fancy dan photographer,Lenny Fischer...Apparently he's left town...probably run off with another rich man's wife." scoffed Trevor.

"Lenny??? Me and Lenny??? Oh My God!! He's an attractive man, but he was Gay...."laughed Candace hysterically...

"GAY??? HIM?" said her husband in astonishment..

"YESSSSSSS! He did some photography for me... In fact ,I was going to surprise you with it...I'm in some hot new lingerie I bought...You think I'd disrobe in front of a straight guy? Poor Lenny...They found him in the river yesterday...Somebody murdered him!! He didn't leave town...He was shot and weighted down and dropped in the river. I don't know what kind of monster could be so cruel."said Candace..

"Yes...I wonder..." said her husband Trevor, who suddenly had a cold chill down his back...He hadn't known Lenny Fischer was Gay and he hadn't known that the body had been discovered at the bottom of the river, where he had deposited it , after shooting him dead three weeks before...

And at Ms. Yvette's house...

"I'm all yours tonight babyyyyyyy." Ms. Yvette laughed, looking at her husband..

''Vettie, you smelled so good today and your body was so warm and cuddly as you sat on my lap that...that I just found myself falling in love all over again.."said Gary....

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWw and you had a huge boner and you want to screw my brains out right?" said Ms. Yvette, smiling wickedly....

"Yeah! Something like that!"said Gary as they began kissing passionately..

''Ummmmmmmmmmmm, well I can't wait!" said Yvette jokingly.....

Gary slowly slipped her panties down and off

and sat her on top of the dresser drawer in their bedroom, spread her legs apart and entered her slowly and softly...Ms. Yvette gasped...

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...OHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY GODDDDDDD!

OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!" she cooed loudly....Her head turning from side to side..

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM VETTTIE....VETTTIE GIRRRRRRLLL ...MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM MYYYY LAWWWD!" moaned Gary as they both wound up in bed in the throes of passionate lovemaking...

"Ummmmmmmmmm Hot Stuff....NOWWWW...NOWWW IS THE TIME TO RAVAGE ME!" whispered Bee Bee to me...

"You know I'm always down for that.." I laughed..

We kissed passionately....

I helped Bee Bee out of her clothes

Unsnapped her bra

and slipped her panties down...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUU BEATRICE....UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!" I moaned...lifting her up and slowly entering her....

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...OHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY GODDDDDDD!

OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!" she cooed loudly....Her head turning from side to side.. 'As much as I hate my name...I love it when you moan it.." she said to me..

"OH MY GODDDDD, BEE BEE..." I cried out..as we crashed on to the bed..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU HOT STUFF!!!!" Bee Bee cooed ,staring at me in amazement..

as we began making love....

While next door...

"OUUUUUUUUUUU PAPI" moaned Sofia...

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWW MAMASITA!" moaned Kahlil..

"I love the way you moan my name..." said Sofia....

"I love moaning it."said Kahlil..

"You so silly" laughed Sofia..

She was trying to devour his lips..

She slipped her panties down..

and eased herself down on hs waiting and hard penis...moving up and down...

and eventually winding up in bed, making love...

"UMMMMMM PAPIIII!" she cooed..

"AWWWWWWWW MAMASITA!" he moaned loudly...

"I've missed you soooo much baby."whispered Jade to her husband...

"Yeah, we've both been working pretty hard.."said Danny ..."And speaking of being hard..." he said.

"I know...I know....OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU." cooed Jade..

As Danny removed her bra and panties...

She moved up and down on Danny as he was nearly delirious with pleasure....

and they began making sweet love...

''Jetty my goodness...Are you hard all day long?" asked Virginia in amazement as she softly stroked his huge penis...

''ALL HARD AND BIG LIKE THIS!" she said softly..

"ALL DAY LONG....JUST BEING A FEW FLOORS DOWN FROM YOU, KNOWING YOU AND ALL THAT SEXINESS IS IN THE SAME BUILDING WITH ME!" he said.

He helped her out of her clothes, kissing her passionately...

He nearly fainted as he slipped her new thong off of her...

and within minutes they were in bed, Making love....

III-

Lt. Tragg did what he did best...Address a Press Conference...

" The body found in the river has been identified positively as Gay Photographer , Lenny Fischer...Of course I knew it was him the minute the body was found, but I wanted to give the M.E.'s office the chance to make a Positive I.D..I didn't uh want to jump to conclusions...."said Lt. Tragg.

"Like you've done in the past eh Lieutenant.?" said a reporter in the crowd..

This was met by laughter...

"THAT'S ENOUGH LOU....I WANTED TO WAIT UNTIL A POSITIVE I.D. WaS MADE!! IT HAS BEEN MADE AND AN ARREST IS IMMINENT!" said Lt. Tragg..

A world away in our building...We were all eating breakfast....

Our cafeteria had several monitors which showed the local news...We all saw Lt. Tragg's press conference while we ate..

''Did you hear that pack of lies Vettie?" said Dabnis.

"I sure did..."laughed Ms. Yvette.

"Better to see him on Television while we eat than for him to actually be in our presence."I said..

"You're not lying about that."said Bee Bee.

"The city doesn't want another lawsuit...So they muzzled him until a positive I.D. was made." said Jazzy.

''Exactly...Exactly." said Sofia.

"The Brass probably read him the riot act..."said Kahlil.

''It wouldn't be the first time." said Kayla.

"Talkin bout...Of course I knew it was him the minute the body was found, but I wanted to give the M.E.'s office the chance to make a Positive I.D..I didn't uh want to jump to conclusions....What a crock!! The Brass read him the riot act, told him to keep his mouth shut until he was sure."said Ray.,

"Yeah, but now we are sure that that was Lenny..."said Ms. Jade.

"WOWWW!" was all Tony could say.

"Looks like you guys may have a new case if he arrests your client.."said Jessica

"He did say an arrest was imminent."said Chip.

"Once again, he'll rush to judgement, jump to conclusions and arrest the wrong suspect."said Virginia.

''Soooo, what are you going to do Vettie/" asked Jetty.

'That all depends on who he arrests."said Yvette..

Karen Page, Natalie, David, Brooke and Sean all walked in and the conversation changed..

"Natalie, I'm going to miss you and David...but when you come back, you're going to have new offices, real offices...that you were accustomed to when you were at City Hall. You'll have your privacy..."laughed Karen..

''That means you won't be ab;e to stare at me all day long.."laughed Natalie to David..

"Yeah I've got to chill out with that."admitted David..

"That's Okay...I'll come in your office every now and then..." said Natalie, softly rubbing his hands..

"You two are a little too mushy..."laughed her best friend, Brooke.

''Ahhhhh leave em alone."laughed Sean, who even though he worked down the street, joined us for almost every meal now.

Later at the Medical Examiner's Office.

"It's not everyday that I get a visit from attorneys."said Dr. Hazel Baylor.

We stood in the morgue ,staring at the bodies lying on the tables...A gruesome sight that we had somehow got used to over the years...

"I was just curious about the body you guys fished out of the river, Lennyy Fischer...I know you said he was shot and then weighted down and dropped in the ocean, but I suppose you have no idea when he was murdered or how long he was in the river?" asked Yvette.

"You have a client Vettie? Lt. Tragg did say an arrest was imminent..To answer your question...Time of death is not an exact science...This is only a scientific guess but this body had been underwater for at least three weeks and we are theorizing that Mr. Fischer was shot and killed and dropped into the ocean on the day he disapeared...but like I say, it's not exact science."said Hazel.

"That's good enough to know... In answer to your question..We think we will have a client.. A Young man approached us and paid us a retainer a few days ago... He said that Lt. Tragg has brought him in for questioning for the past three weeks since Mr. Fischer vanished and be believes he's going to be charged with murder eventually...Especially now since a body has been discovered." said Yvette.

"He is such an asshole...Did you see him on the news this morning?" said Hazel.

''Sure Did...He said an arrest is imminent..which is why we came here..To begin laying the foundation for our defense." I said.

"Imminent Arrest notwithstanding."said Bee Bee with a smile...

"He is such as asshole....I truly wish he wasn't on the force anymore and that he was replaced with another Detective." said Hazel.

"You know...I feel the same way..." said Sofia...

''We handle a lot of cases...but I have to say, the ones that involve Lt. Tragg do tend to be the most dramatic...and interesting."said Kahlil..

''Speak for yourself...It also tends to be the ones where he is the most unhinged... You don't have him threatening to pull your license all the time." said Jade.

"He threatened to call the State Board on me a few days ago..."said Hazel as we all laughed.

IV-

The crowd at this club was jumping...This wasn't a gay club...but it was what you might call "Gay friendly..

The D.J. was really jamming tonight...

A fellow attorney and LGBTQ Activist, Rod Singelton was sharing a table with Effrom Burke tonight and his good friend and also fellow attorney Rita Jackson...

"I told you this club was the bomb Effrom...You should've brought Lenny here...he woulda loved it.." said Rod..

''Yeah Poor Lenny....A toast to Lenny." said Effrom..

"I know you two had just broken up...but I know you would have never harmed him... I couldn't believe the cops kept dragging you down there in the weeks he was missing... I heard they Positively Identified the body they found in the river as his... He was shot in the head..I hope he died quickly and painlessly..

He was weighted down and dropped in the middle of the river...so cruel..." said Rita Jackson.

"Let's raise our glasses to Lenny." said Rod..

''To Lenny" said Effrom...

They raised their glasses and toasted the memory of their fallen comrade...

"Hands up laughing boy...You're under arrest!" said Lt. Tragg , who led a full tactical squad into the club, causing the music to stop and Patrons to scatter.

''Effrom Burke. you are under arrest for the First Degree Murder of Lenny Fischer,. You have the right to remain silent...Any and everything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law...You have a right to an attorney...if you can not afford an attorney one will be provide to you....You being an attorney I'm sure you understand those rights don't you? Cuff him boys."said Lt. Tragg..

Effrom cooly allowed himself to be handcuffed... He turned to his friend..Rita....

"Rita...Call that number I gave you..."he said as he was led out....

"I will." said Rita...

The Press just happened to be there when Lt. Tragg walked out with Efform in handcuffed..

Lt. Tragg was playing the roll of the hard boiled Homicide Detective to the hilt with his expensive tailored suit...His equally expensive shoes...Every Hair in place and make up...He looked like he from central casting as he kept a grim exterior as he and the handcuffed Effrom Burke, did the perp walk...

Effrom knew the press weren't here by accident...He knew that glory hound Lt. Tragg tipped them off, probably anonymously and they were there for his arrest...He smirked cooly as he was placed in the police car...

HOURS EARLIER-

Yvette was home....

She took a hot shower, lotioned down

and got comfortable in her gray Victoria's Secret night shirt that came to her hips..

Gary made her her tea and then went and sat on the couch, watching TV..

He had said he was going to let her get some sleep tonight..and he was serious.

Yvette felt neglected...She went and sat on his lap, facing him...

''What's wrong with you? usually about this time, I have to fight you off of me." she asked..

"Vettie you need rest..I kept you up all last night...I thought you'd be tired tonight." said Gary..who was again entranced by how good his wife felt sitting on his lap, how good she smelled...and how soft and cuddly she felt.. He was getting a massive erection and she could feel it and he couldn't hide it.

"I feel great.....and you feel hard.." said Yvette in her babyish voice..

She gave him the kiss of life...She ran her hands inside his bathrobe, inside his boxers...and discovered he was as hard as an iron pipe..

"Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, sure you don't want to do anything?" she cooed in between smouldering kisses...

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, well as long as you don't mind....OUUUUUUUUUU!" Gary moaned.

"I DON'T MIND....OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU YOU ARE SO HARD...AND SO DAMN BIG!!!

OH MYYYYYY GARY!" she said.

Devouring his lips...

He slipped her panties down and off..

and they made love on the couch....

Yvette moving slower and slower...driving Gary delirious.....

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" he moaned..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU HUSBAND!" she cooed.

EIGHT TO NINE HOURS later...Yvette had an intense orgasm...So did Gary....

"Gary, honey.now I'm sleepy." said Yvette.

"I'll bet you are ,Come on ,let's both get some sleep.."said Gary.. He lifted her up and carried her upstairs to the bedroom...

"Awww honey you are the best!" said Yvette.

She rewarded Gary with a sweet kiss..

They had the best and most relaxing sleep ever that night.... until around 4:00 in the morning..

Her phone , which was on the charger was still on....She crawled off of Gary and picked it up..

"Hello!" she said in a sleepy voice..

"I hate to wake you up Ms. Yvette...I'm an Attorney too...My name is Rita Jackson...I'm a friend of Effrom Burke...We were at an after hours club tonight...He was arrested and charged with murder by Lt. Tragg...He told me to call you at this number, to let you know." she said.. "Go back to sleep...I'm really sorry about this." she said.
