THE OFFICE OF ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY WILBUR PATCH

"These are the little shits I'll be up against on this case?  I've been practicing law longer than 4 of them have been alive.. I understand this man they are defending is a partner at their firm.... He should have gotten someone older and more seasoned to defend him... I'll eat these snot nosed kids alive...and their boss too...I owe her one from years ago. One of them is the son of a Judge I know... They'd better not try to get him as a Judge in this case or Jetty Dukes either, who is married to their Office Manager...I know the whole story!" he grumbled.

"You've got to take these attorneys serious...They've won a lot of cases....They may be young, but they are very experienced. Don't underestimate them.." said his second chair..Assistant District Attorney Holley Madison.

Lt. Tragg walked in just then.

"Good Morning Patch...." he said.

"Good Morning Artie....This is my assistant and second chair..Assistant District Attorney Holly Madison.

"Hello....Have you found any fingerprints or DNA belonging to the defendent at the scene?   I know you say the motive was his hatred for the victim...but I checked that office... He wasn't liked by many in that office...which gives us many suspects...and I am still worried about that phone call made to the defendant that couldn't have been made by him because he was already dead."said Holly.

Lt. Tragg hated a woman, any woman, be it a Medical Examiner or another Attorney question his handling of an investigation... Today was no different..

"I assure you...I am all over it...I've been a Homicide Detective for years...I know how to handle an investigation my dear." he said condescendingly.

Miles away in our building...

We were having a meeting in our conference room...

"Once again...I want to thank you all for a job well done on that negotiation... Now we can get back to working on Mr. Connor's defense.." said Ms. Yvette.

"They don't have much...No DNA, Fingerprint or other Forensic Evidence linking our client to the death scene.. Their motive isn't even clear... A Lot of people didn't like Attorney Glover."said Bee Bee.

"True, but he was at the scene, unconscious with the murder weapon in his hand...That's enough...

We have proof that a phone call ,which he believed was the victim called him there and he swore that he heard the victim's voice telling him to come inside, before he was slugged and knocked out."I said.

"Which brings me to my point..I finally ran into Richard Biggs...He took me to lunch yesterday and he demonstrated his talents...He can impersonate anybody's voice..Even mine...He had me in stitches...And he can throw his voice too!  He's a bit of a rascal..He tried to hit on me..He asked me if he could take me out on a date... I told him I was married...we just laughed it off." said Jade..  Ericka Coston had an alibi.  She was actually in court when the murder occurred." said Jade.

"But this guy wasn't....He called Mr. Connor from Glover's phone...Impersonated his voice... Glover was already dead...and when Mr. Connor got there...He threw his voice, made him think Glover was telling him to come in and then slugged him...Poured Bourbon all over him and placed the murder weapon in his hand...It's a perfect set up, a perfect frame and he is the only one who could have done it.!"said Sofia.

"And he would have a motive...He hated Glover too! As much as anyone else..Glover had screwed up the deal and tried to place the blame on him...." said Kahlil.

Virginia walked in with two Bouquets of Roses...They were already in Vases and with water...

"Vettie these came for you.." she said smiling and passed her an envelope..

Yvette thought the roses were from Mr. Cozen and the firm...They weren't...They were from her husband, Gary...

"Oh My God...They are both from Gary." she said.

"Ouuuuuuuuuu somebody is going to get something nice tonight..."said Bee Bee..

"Ouuuuuuuuu yeah!" said  Sofia...

Yvette laughed....

"Perhaps... Get subpoena's ready...I want both Ericka Coston and Richard Biggs served..."said Ms. Yvette.

II-

That afternoon......Gary came home...

"Vettie, You home?" he yelled out..

"Yes, I'm upstairs in the bedroom." she yelled out..

"Did you get my flowers?" he asked.

"I did!  Now if you come upstairs and stop yelling...I'll show it to you." Yvette said seductively...

"Oh really? " said Gary...Who practically ran upstairs and entered the bedroom ,only to see Ms. Yvette dressed in a playboy bunny outfit...

"OH MY GODDDDDDDDDD!" he exclaimed.

"I told you I'll never wear this in Public again.....Only for you!" said Yvette...

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWwww VETTIE, I LOVE YOU!" he exclaimed, taking her in his arms and kissing her.

"I know you do!~And I love you too!" Yvette whispered in between slow, soft kisses...

Kisses that was driving both of them wild!

Gary undressed quickly.....

and slipped her panties down....

He squeezed her butt...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUU GARY!" she moaned.

"VETTIE GIRL, MY SWEET SWEET GIRRRL!" he moaned softly...

"YOU ARE MY SWEET GIRRRRRRRL!" he moaned...lifting her up and slowly entering her...as she lowered herself on him and began moving up and down...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU, WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" said Yvette, squealing with delight..

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH VETTTTIE!" he moaned softly....She was so wet...so soft and smelled like a newborn baby....She made him delirious with lust...He didn't know if he was coming or going...Neither did she!!!!

Yvette's body trembled...Her head turned from side to side and tears flowed like a river down the side of her face...She was having a VERY INTENSE ORGASM...

"UMMMMMMMMMMMM YOU ARE SOOO DAMN BIG AND HARRRD!! OUUUUUUUUUU!" she screamed out!!!

"OHHHHHH SWEEET BABY!" Gary moaned..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" Yvette moaned...She was having another orgasm behind the last one...Her head was turning from side to side and her entire body was trembling....

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.....OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME GARY??OUUUUUUUUUUU!" she moaned..

The made love for the next EIGHT TO NINE HOURS, both climaxing together...and laughing as they tried to catch their breath...

Yvette rested on top of him, one of her legs still shaking....

"You know, I can send you some uh different colored bouquets tomorrow..." said Gary, smiling raffishly...

"You are such a horn dog...You'll do anything to get in the bed with me..."laughed Yvette....

"It makes life interesting..."Gary laughed..

"I knowwwwwwwwwwwwwww....You feel good daady?" she asked.

"Yes lawd!" Gary exclaimed..

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I feel good...Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" said Yvette..

"Does that mean I get some more?" asked Gary....

"Yesssssss." said Yvette.

Yvette kissed him softly and then straddled him and eased down on his still hard penis and began moving up and down again..

"AWWWWWWWW....AWWWWWWW...AWWWWWWWWWWWW LAWWWWWWD!" yelled Gary.

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM ...OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU" cooed Yvette, as they continued making sweet love...

And at The Condos where Attorney Ericka Coston lived...There was a knock on her door..

She walked to her door... She wasn't entertaining tonight....but still she hoped it wasn't Richard Biggs....She knew he had a crush on her and she wasn't the least bit interested, she didn't want him to get his hopes up and she didn't want him coming by here thinking that he was going to get more than what he was getting at work, which was pleasent conversation.

She opened the door... No one was there...There was a letter on the ground in front of her residence... She picked it up and opened it...it read simply

WHORE!

Then she heard a voice- "FILTHY WHORE!" came the voice....She looked around, but she didn't see anybody.....

She heard what sounded like a woman's voice- "FILTHY SLUTTY WHOREEEEEEE!"

AGAIN!! She saw no one.. Frightened!! A Bit Un nerved...She slammed her door and locked it tight...

She sat on the floor near her door and cried.....

Down the street from Ms. Yvette and Gary's house...

We were all at Sofia and Kahlil's house for a little get together...

We had lots of Tacos, Salsa and Beer...additional guests were Jessica and Chip, Natalie, David, Brooke and Sean.

"Dig in folks , there is enough for everybody. " said Sofia.

"Yeah...we planned for a crowd." said Kahlil...

"Ummmmmmmm everything is delish girlfriend.."said Bee Bee..

"It is." I said.

"Thanks for having this...I didn't feel like clubbing tonight."said Jessie...

"Nah, me neither...."said  her husband, Chip..

"Thanks for having us over...."said Natalie...

"I imagine you guys work together the most...So It would make sense you all would hang out together some nights.."said Sean.

"Yeah we kinda do see each other a lot..." laughed David..

"You have a lovely home Sofia.." said Brooke..

"Oh Thank You Brooke." said Sofia...

The doorbell rang... It was Jade and Danny...

"Oh Hiiiiiii Guys.." said Sofia..

"Hiiiiiiiii everybody... Hi Natalie, David, Brooke, Sean...Jessie, Chip..." said Jade.. 

"Heyyyyy everybody.." said Danny....

A Nice afternoon of fellowship and good food....At least for most of us.

III-

At A Tony Rooftop Restaurant...The Next Night...

Attorney Richard Biggs was laughing and drinking and joking with Bee Bee, Myself, Sofia and Kahlil..

We were enjoying Martinis and Thick Juicy Burgers...

"You know...at first I hated you guys....but I realized....It wasn't your fault...You just got picked..You had no idea what had been going on...Anyway, you guys did a great job....I've heard about you guys...You and your boss are rising superstars in this firm...You bring in a lot of business and win lots of cases...Quite impressive for you to be so young and firm..." he said.

Despite the fact I was sitting next to her..He snaked his hands up Bee Bee's skirt, rubbing her legs..She smiled and removed his hands twice..

"I heard somewhere that you used to be an entertainer... You did impressions and was somewhat of a ventriloquist... Do some impressions." asked Bee Bee trying to lighten the subject matter and get his hands from up under her skirt...

"Yeah , Do some Impressions." I said.\

He really was good... He did a number of impressions.. Donald Trump, Joe Biden, Mitch McConnell, 

all four of us...Mr. Cozen, Mr. Connor, he even slipped up and did the late Frederick Glover...He showed us how he could throw his voice..Make it seem like he was behind us...

"WOWWWW! You're good!" said Sofia...

"And you did this in Atlantic City?" asked Kahlil..

"Yeah...I made good money in the Casinos as an opening act for the entertainment...Did I tell you I opened for Jay -Z once at the 40 club?" he said.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO, You Did?" asked Bee Bee.

"Really?"asked Sofia.

"I did...and that money put me through law school...I went to law school during the week, did my thing in Atlantic City on the weekends and voila.. I graduated with honors, took the bar and the rest is history....I know longer uh do my act... I don't need to...I make a good salary as an Attorney.."he said.

"WOWWWWWWWWWW! That's quite some story." I said.

"That's the stuff...Movies and TV series are made of."said Kahlil..

"You angling for an agent spot pallie?" said Richard Biggs and we all laughed out loud again..

He seemed like a nice guy...We all certainly liked him...

Jade walked up just then....

"Hi Guys.." she said.

He really had a thing for Jade....

"VA VA VA VOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!" he said to himself....

"Wellllll hello Jade!" he said...

"Hello, I see you've met my associates... I told them about your talents.." she said..

"I have other talents you know.." he said.. "IN THE BEDROOM" he whispered.. Making no secret of his sexual attraction to Jade.

"Ouuuuu don't be baddded....I told you I'm married...Just like they are.." she giggled..

"And I told you I'm discreet..."said Richard Biggs....whispering in her ear.

"Stop being bad....besides , I've got something for you....." she said.

"You doooooooooo! UMMMMMMMMMPH, I've definitely got something for youuu!" he laughed...

"It's called a subpoena!...We want to see you in court....As a witness for the defense of Robert Connor." she said, passing him the subpoena.

And in Bayside...at a trendy restaurant that same afternoon ,Ms. Virginia and Ms. Yvette were dining with fellow Attorney and McCluskey/Cozen /Connor & Pratt employee, Ericka Coston.

"Virginia Shaw....It's Virginia Shaw Dukes now....Wow...I remember when you were a high end Attorney making close to if not six figures per client...You always dressed to the nines and prison hasn't changed that...You still dress to the nines... I was always sorry about what happened to you... I remember you applied for a job here just before the unpleasentness...... I'm so glad you got paroled and was still able to get a job here at the firm..."said Ericka.

"Yes...I'm Office Manager and Consultant at the other office..."said Virginia.

"I knowwwwwwwwwww...And married to a Judge....Who needs to be an Attorney right?" Ericka laughed..."Yvette...You know...at first I hated you guys when you took over the negotiations that Frederick, Richard and I had worked so hard on....but I realized....It wasn't your fault...You just got picked..You had no idea what had been going on...Anyway, you guys did a great job, the firm got the contract back and you guys worked out an equitable settlement, It was a win for all involved.....I've heard about you guys...You and your four young associates and your investigator  are rising superstars in this firm...

You bring in a lot of business and win lots of cases...Quite impressive for you guys to be so young and diverse." she added.

"Oh Here comes our food..." said Yvette....

Good Pasta arrived and all three women ate and enjoyed their food...

"Dinner was fabulous girls...It's nice we female attorneys get out and eat and dish together...

"Yvette this wine is incredible." said Ericka.

This was very nice.. and I almost hate to do this..but this is a subpoena... I'd like for you to be a witness in the defense of our client Bob Connor.. We believe he is innocent of these charges against him.."said Yvette.

 

"Well I don't know if he is or not..but he wasn't one of my favorite people at the firm...butttt if I can help him avoid a prison term, that might work out in my favor." said Ericka.

Ms. Virginia smiled subtlety and continued to sip her wine...

IV-

THE NEXT DAY- COURTROOM B

Judge Julie Wong addressed all of the attorneys and gave us instructions on how the trial would run...

"The Preliminary Hearing will only last a week from now on... The Prosecution and Defense will be given two days to make their case...Then I will decide if in fact this case will go to trial...If so, Jury selection will begain Monday at 9:00 AM...Attorneys be on time, have proper questions ready for Voir dire ...Then once a jury is picked...Trial will begin promptly on Tuesday Morning...Be on time and be ready for trial." she said.

Yvette, Bee Bee, Myself, Sofia, Kahlil, Jade and Bob Connor sat at our table contritely..

''We understand your honor and we will be on time and ready for trial."said Ms. Yvette.

"Looks like Sunday we'll be turning in early Hot Stuff." Bee Bee whispered to me..

"Yeah...I guess everybody will.." I said.

"Olivia and Beverly are finishing up a trial...I know they'll be turning in early Sunday." said Sofia..

"I think Jessica,Chip, Natalie, David and Brookie are finishing up a trial too!"said Kahlil.

"Looks like you'll be in good company."laughed Bob Connor.

Sitting at the Prosecution table, was ADA Wilbur Patch, ADA Holly Madison and Lt. Tragg.

"Hah, look at Connor ,looking so smug, so comfortable... He'd better enjoy it now because I'm going to nail him to the cross.." said Patch confidently...

Assistant District Attorney Holly Madison didn't say anything...She just stared at us and wondered.

Lt. Tragg smiled smugly....Certain that "Yvette and her snot nosed youngins had met their match this time... He pinched Holly Madison's butt and smiled..

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuu! Cut it out!" she said to him...

He had that goofy pleased as punch look on his face as he rubbed her legs....

"Cut it out....Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu you're getting me hot!  OUUUUUUUUU!" she silently moaned...before getting up and sitting on the other side of Wilber Patch...

"What the hell is going on over here...Grow up!" snarled ADA Wilbur Patch...

Gary and Yvette sat in the playground across the street from where we all lived... It was mid afternoon...

'So what's going on this weekend, Sweet and Sexy?" asked Gary...

"So that's your new nickname for me?  I like it... We are all going to Josie's tonight...Fried Chicken, Fried Fish, 5 visiting D.J.'s and a comedian...a good one.....Then tomorrow morning, Brunch at No I.D. Bar..Tomorrow Night from what I hear...Everyone will be back at Josie's again and then Sunday, Josie's again for Super Brunch."said Yvette..

Gary held her in his arms..

"Sunday afternoon...We'll all just be chilling out..That's nice.. We'll all be close to home..

"And right now....I'm going to kiss my husband..." said Yvette as she turned and kissed Gary..

And for the next THIRTY MINUTES, they stood there kissing each other passionately , oblivious to the world around them and what lie ahead for them..

(CONCLUSION NEXT)
