Suspicion Of Murder

 We didn't ride the train in with the others this morning...We drove in Ms. Jade's SUV... We were headed straight to central booking.

Sofia sat up front with Jade...

who was driving!

Kahlil and Bee Bee and I sat in the back with Ms. Yvette.

Ms Yvette had her laptop out...I peered over her shoulder...

She was looking up our client, Olive Gordon, now arrested and charged with Suspicion of Murder.

While at Central Booking in the "Fishbowl", the nickname detectives gave the interrogation room.

Lt. Tragg had gone out to Sam Mothers and ordered breakfast to go for both he and Olive..

and for Olive Gordan, he ordered New York Strip Steak and Eggs, Hash Browns and Coffee..

They both were hungry and devoured their food.. Olive thanked him for breakfast....She was famished after her arrest last night in Curley's and sitting in here in this dank, smelly room for hours...getting little to no sleep on the table..

Outside of thanking him, she said nothing else...She was exercising her right to remain silent.. She knew that if it wasn't for the fact that she was a white woman, blonde and considerably attractive, she would have got none of this.. She doubted if his many black suspects got offered a candy bar and a soda out of the vending machines...and Lt. Tragg certainly didn't eat in here with them...

As she finished her meal...She listened as he laid the evidence against her to her.. She was seen by several neighbors entering the apartment of Lee Oliveri on the fateful night... Her prints and DNA were all over the apartment, which meant nothing...She had lived with him.,She was often there...Seminal fluid was found on the wall and the floor, indicating they had sex... They did not...He was trying to get sex from her and ejaculated a little sooner than he would have liked..  Semen and his blood was found on her dress, that she was wearing that night...He had ejaculated wildly on her during their struggle and she had touched the body when she discovered him dead.. Neighbors claimed they saw her exiting his apartment with a few dresses...They were her dresses that she came to pick up...but that was an hour before he was shot to death....He was alive when she left...She listened as he talked and ate and said nothing...

"Doll, we got a lot of physical evidence against you and witnesses...Would you like to cop a plea? Or Maybe  make a deal...I know these ADA's...I can maybe uh swing something in your favor...You have no priors...You're a lawyer...Do something to help yourself out here." he said.

Olive smiled.  "Thank you for the breakfast Lieutenant" was all she would say.. She collected her plate, styrofoam cup and plastic knife and fork and deposited them in the close to overflowing trash can...

Lt. Tragg collected his plate, styrofoam cup and plastic knife and fork and deposited them in the close to overflowing trash can...He was still drinking his coffee..

"You got nothin to say huh?  Is that it?  You think because you're a lawyer you can finagle your way out of this huh?" he asked.

"I believe that is our job Lieutenant!" came the familiar voice of Yvette Jones-Lockwood.

"Crimminy!" he said as he turned and saw the rest of us.

"Hmmm besides Coffee, I smell Steak,,Did somebody have steak in here? And Hash Browns??" I asked.

"You're making me hungry Hot Stuff, Stop it!"laughed Bee Bee.

"Yeah stop it...We were busy finding a judge and a time for arraignment...We haven't eaten yet."said Sofia.

"Tell Me Lieutenant, Do you treat all of your suspects to breakfast?? Take Out from Sam Mother's joint?" asked Kahlil.

"No of course not Kahlil.. Only if they're Blonde, have great legs and a short skirt..."said Jade.

"Keep it up with the lip...When I pull your license...you won't be so lippy then will ya Jade?" he snarled..He despised Jade and would like nothing better than a reason to pull her P.I. license..

"  Olive You hang tight...It's Friday...but we got you a 1:00 pm arraignment today...I'd normally ask for the room, but the smell in here is making me nauseous...You've been here eight hours....so you may be used to it... Just hang tight..We'll see you in court at 1:00 okay?" said Yvette.

"Thank you Yvette, guys." said Olive..

"Come on troops, let's grab something to eat." said Yvette.

II-

COURTROOM B- 1:52 PM

We sat in the courthouse waiting area, after a great breakfast at Sam Mother's Diner that was not interrupted by Lt. Tragg.. He had eaten at the jailhouse with our client. 

 "Well here we are guys...The Judge comes in a few minutes..." said Ms. Yvette.

"We got a good Judge." I said.

"Oh "We", you mean Sofia and I...got a good judge Hot Stuff."laughed Bee Bee.

"Yeah, but you guys did help!"laughed Sofia..

"We sure did...We steered you away from some obvious bad choices."laughed Kahlil.

"Here she comes now..Let's go inside." said Jade.

The Judge was Judge Pringle...A Judge Yvette was familliar with...She had lectured Olivia, Karen Page and her when they were in law school and she was a practicing attorney...Olivia had told Yvette , she had tried a couple of cases in her courtroom and now here she was trying a case in her courtroom...

"Oh My Goddddd! I know her...She lectured me, Olivia and Karen Page ,when we were law students at PENN. Judge Pringle....She's very knowledgable.." said Yvette, pleased with the choice.

"And we just thought she had a kind face." said Bee Bee.

''She kind of reminds us of our mothers." said Sofia.

Kahlil and I smiled..

Jade sat with us...She had no expression on her face.

The Prosecution team was interesting..

Gary Smith an independent attorney who was often called in to be a special prosecutor..He had only lost one time... To our friends, Olivia Bennett-Alexander, Beverly West and their team...

 

He had taken them through four trials, three ending in hung juries , before they finally got an acquittal.

He hadn't lost a trial since then...

Assistant District Attorney Bruce Green was going to be second chair and already there was a problem..He didn't like being second chair to anyone...He either prosecuted the case himself or he had a second chair...He was no one's second chair. He felt as if this was punishment for losing to both Olivia and Beverly and young Tyrell Jones...

Lt. Tragg didn't like any of this...he prefferred a pretty young blonde ADA....

"Your Honor, Ms. Olive Gordon has been accused of the brutal murder of her one time lover and gynecologist, Dr. Lee Oliveri... Her father, a former judge has a boat in the marina and a summer home in the suburbs....We feel that she is a flight risk and a danger to the community and should be denied bail." said Special Prosecutor, Gary Smith.

"Nothing could be further from the truth your honor...My client's Father, a retired and respected Judge does indeed have a Yacht at the Marina, but I highly doubt that he would aide even his daughter in breaking the law... And his summer home? What Summer Home?  They own a property in Bayside..Hardly a key getaway spot...it being only 5 miles outside of Philadelphia.  My client has no priors and is an officer of this very court..a distinguished attorney for years...We ask for at the minimum,, reasonable bail or for her to be released on her own recognizance." said Ms. Yvette.

Lt. Tragg shook his head in disgust...

Bee Bee and Kahlil presented 20 charactor witnesses, most of them Attorneys and Para-Legals from the Women's Law Project and a few uniformed policemen who knew her..

Judge Pringle agreed and released Olive on her own recognizance ,but ordered her to wear an ankle monitoring bracelet..

Her curfew was 11:00 pm on week nights and 12:00 AM on weekends....

''Well, no bar hopping for me"joked Olive .."But at any rate, that beats being in a jail cell any day.." she said.

"That's right! That's a healthy way to look at it." I said.

"Now let's get you out of here." said Sofia.

''We are taking the train back to work everybody....Jade has things to do." said Yvette.

We all quickly vanished from the courthouse...

and took the train back to work...

Jade found a record 5 GPS trackers on her SUV, placed there by Lt. Tragg or one of his underlings...She placed four in a manilla envelope, already postmarked to the Deputy of Operations... She placed the fifth on a random car....She giggled as she pulled off from the parking lot...

Back in our building, in our conference room , we gave Olive Instructions..

"Take this number and write it down, try to remember it....From this time and until the trial is over..You will not call our business phone or our personal phone...You will only dial this number."said Bee Bee.

I passed her a smart phone..

"You will call that number my wife gave you and contact us on this phone and this phone only..." I said.

"You guys leave nothing to chance do you?" asked Olive..

"No...which is why we win cases...Jade is out interviewing as many people as she can in that condo Lee Oliveri lived in...All the people in the police report who said they saw you entering and leaving and who had so much to say about your relationship.." said Yvette.

"This is a Portal...We will give you daily updates on your trial..How it's going...So you don't have to come over here."said Sofia.

"There is a nice hotel ,not far from here...Check yourself in under your real name....Park your car in the indoor parking lot...You'll be safe there." said Kahlil..

"I'll go home and pack an overnite bag...maybe a couple and drive to this hotel tonight...I need a hot shower and a nice night's sleep in a comfortable bed...Thank you guys for everything." said Olive..

Virgina popped in the office... 

"It's Friday...I'm going home and freshen up...We going to No I.D Bar tonight..?" asked Virginia.

"Yeah, You can come back in the buses with Liv and the gang... They'll meet us there...I need a drink...I'm not used to doing this much work on a Friday.." laughed Yvette.

III-

The No Id Bar was our new hang out spot...Almost every Friday Night you could find us here...

Our group, Ms. Yvette, Gary, Me and Bee Bee, Sofia and Kahlil, Jade and Danny and Ms. Virginia and Jetty

 

 "This was the most work I've done on a Friday in a long time... I'm sorry Olive can't hang out with us."said Yvette..

"She could have until Midnight... Then one or a couple of us would have had to escort her back to her hotel room." said Gary.

"Yeah, I wouldn't have minded doing that." I said.

"Yeah but it's better this way...Giving her a curfew would make her feel like a kid." said Bee Bee.

"Yeah and what fun is that...They have a bar in that hotel don't they?" asked Sofia.

"They do..but it's not half as fun as being here with us."joked Kahlil...

"I interviewed everybody in that apartment complex and matched their statements with what they told Lt. Tragg in the original crime scene report." said Jade.

"I'm glad you didn't run into him...He's furious about everything you do that trumps his investigation..He's looking for any reason to pull your license."said her husband, Lt. Danny Ho.

"He's got nothing...She's a licensed private investigator and she's doing her job, working for her employer, the law firm...As long as she doesn't physically interfere with his investigation he hasn't got a leg to stand on."said Ms. Virginia.

"He rarely does!"laughed her husband, Jetty.

Olivia and her group,her husband, Donnie Ray, her niece, Beverly and Beverly's husband, Nelson, Josie and her husband Paris, Bresha and her husband, Tony and Beverly's sexy and hip mama, Ms. Alfreda and Rockland Cambridge. 

 "This is so nice... Other than shopping we've all been indoors this whole week.. I think everybody wanted to get out tonight."said Olivia.

"Yeah...I know I did..." said Donnie Ray...

"Me too! " said Beverly..

Her husband Nelson squeezed her tight and kissed her on the cheek...Beverly giggled.

Josie was a little tipsy, after downing six beers...

So was her husband, Paris, glad that neith one of them was driving.

Bresha was tipsy too she leaned back into her husband's arms...Tony softly squeezed her breasts.

''Watch those hands mister!" she joked.,

"I am watching them and everything else too!" Tony laughed.

"Ummmmm I needed a cold one tonight and I know you did too!"laughed Alfreda.

"Yeah, after the week I had, this feels good." said her husband Rockland...

 And the rest of the gang.. Jasmine "Jazzy" Coley, her husband, Dabnis Coley, Olivia's cousin, Kayla and her husband, Ray, Jessica Sanchez-Burrows and her husband, Chip, Natalie and David and Brooke and Sean and Zoey and Lem...

"It's nice to be out tonight...You were turning me into a porn star...Every night and then in the mornings! WOUUUUUU!" said Jazzy...
 

"I couldn't help it...The rain does things like that to me."laughed Dabnis..

"Oh My God Ray....You want it around the clock, every night... My coochie needed a break. I'm glad we came out tonight.."said Kayla.

"It's not that I'm horny all the time Kayla, it's just that you're so sexy.." explained Ray....

"Papi I'm drunk!" said Jessica..

''So Am I...Glad we aint drivin."said Chip.

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu I'm zooted David..."said Natalie, laying her head on his shoulder and stroking him underneath the table..

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh...Awwwwwwwww lawd....I've got a little buzz myself."said David..

 "This is so nice... Other than shopping we've all been indoors this whole week.. I think everybody wanted to get out tonight."said Brooke.

"Yeah it was nice getting out." said Sean..

"Glad we aren't driving home huh?" said Zoey...

"Yeah, really." said Lem.

Our newest neighbors, Tyrell and Renee were with us tonight too!  They were the only couple who weren't on the buses.. They drove here in Renee's car. and were parked near us in our building's indoor parking lot, which stayed open 24 hours.

"I've been here before... I was the only Black person in here... This is uh a hipsters club." said Renee, who was watching her drinking, since she'd be driving..

"Looks like we took it over." said Tyrell..

"Next time you guys, go home first...Olivia will wait for you if she knows you're coming...She'll bring you up...There is plenty of room..." I said..

They were grateful...Grateful to be here and be a part of us.

There was plenty to drink...and a nice relaxing night, with no bother from Lt. Tragg or anyone else..

IV-

At Lovers Lane...Lt. Tragg followed a signal that came from a Path finder, the same year and make as Jade's..

The car was bouncing up and down...It was obvious ,two people were having sex in the back seat...

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!"

"AWWWWWWWWW LAWWWWWD!! I'M ABOUT TO BLOW MY LOAD!!UMMMMPH!"

"OUUUUUUUUUUUU DON'T CUM YET!! NOT YET!! OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

came the sounds from the back of the SUV as it bounced something furious..

"Somebody's nailing Jade in the back seat and that didn't sound like Danny...Let me get my phone ready."he said

He crept up on the car and readied his phone...

He saw a pair of panties on the headrest.....

A familliar face rose up - "ARTHUR!!!!!!!!" it was Assistant District Attorney Jill Jones..."WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?? PUT YOUR PHONE AWAY!!!" she screamed in horror..

"OH MY GODDDD!" Lt. Tragg screamed in horror...Jill didn't drive an SUV, so who did? He was about to find out!!!

Her enraged date , her very muscular date leaned out the window...

"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU? A PEEPING TOM?? YOU DEGENERATE!!!!" he said and punched Lt. Tragg in the nose, knocking him out cold..

"Come on baby, let's go back to your place...Too many perverts out tonight." he said.

They pulled off, leaving an unconscious Lt. Tragg lying there..

OUT COLD!!!!

We went home...It was a nice way to end a work week.

It had been quite a day.....

We were all at home now...

Bee Bee was wearing a sheer see through Baby doll.....She had just taken a hot shower and walked into our bedroom..

My eyes popped out of my head..

She giggled..

"Oh my goddd..look at you...You act like you haven't seen me before......WOW!!! That boner is massive. wouuuuuuuuuu, look at you!!!!" she said and put her hands over her mouth.."Wouuuuuuuu look at that!" she said.

I pulled her towards me...Is this something you bought at Bridget's store the other day?" I asked.

"The Panties are...I had this baby doll.." she giggled...

I undressed and took her into my arms and kissed her softly....

"Ummmmmm, ouuuuuuuuuuuu you are so hard....Ouuuuuu, look at youuuu!" she exclaimed as she stroked me lightly..

"Look at youuuuuuu!" I exclaimed...Slipping her panties down.

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMM!" I moaned, humping Bee Bee over the bed..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she cooed softly..

Soon we were making love passionately on top of the bed..Not thinking about Olive's upcoming trial;

The same was next door at Kahlil and Sofia's house..

Sofia and Kahlil began the night kissing ,while she was trying to undress....

"Ayeee Papi, you couldn't wait!" she said...

"No I couldn't." he said , kissing her passionately in the doorway and unhooking her bra..

Sofia and Kahlil were lying across the bed..

Kissing ,fondling and laughing..

Kahlil took Sofia in his arms and spun her around, still kissing her.. She laughed loudly and with glee ,speaking in spanish.... This turned Kahlil on...

and he slipped her panties down...

Sofia mounted herself on top of Kahlil and moved up and down slowly, while he kissed her passionately. She had two intense orgasms during this time , which caused her to speak in Spanish only.

He couldn't understand her, but he found it sexy.. It wasn't too long

before they too were making sweet love in their bed......

"Come here Vettie!" said Gary...

"I'm right here lover... All yours." whispered Yvette.

Gary and Ms. Yvette were way ahead of us..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU VETTIE, YOU ARE DRIVING ME INSANE!" moaned Gary as she rode him like a surfer rides the waves...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUU MY SWEET, SWEET HUSBAND! OUUUUUUUUUUU!" cooed Yvette..

They had gone straight to the bedroom..

"OHHHHHHHHH GARY, WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE SO DAMN GOOOD IN BED?" Yvette howled while having an intense orgasm...

"I DON'T KNOW, WHY ARE YOU SO DAMN SEXY?" he asked her.....

They had made love early into the morning hours....

Enjoying  their massive smart bed.. Yvette smiled..

The bed was sturdy and very very comfortable...It moved with their every move and was very comfortable and warm..It actually enhanced their lovemaking..

EIGHT TO NINE HOURS had passed by.

 Bee Bee and I were fast asleep in each others arms..

Sofia and Kahlil were in each others arms and still kissing, almost asleep.

As was Ms. Yvette and Gary, totally satisfied after a night of sweet lovemaking.

A few doors away at Ms. Virginia's house.. she had on one of the night shirts she'd worn when she was incarcerated..It was the only garment she had left from her time in prison...She would have thrown it away, but for some reason...It turned Jetty on...but then again...Jetty was turned on by her breathing, she mused..

"I 've got it on, does this make you hard?" asked Virginia..

"Baby,YESSSSS Lawd! " he said.

"The things that turn you on.....Is this some fantasy? Making love to an incarcerated female?? Don't answer...I'd rather not know." she laughed.

"Okay, I won't answer." he said..laughing himself...

"Ummmmmmmm Obviously." she said and unloosened his belt and unzippered his trousers...

"DAMNNNNN!" she said ,observing his erection......

"That's all for you baby!" said Jetty.....

"I hope so....MYYYY GOOODNESSS!  DAMNNNNN!"  " exclaimed Virginia.

"Now give daddy some sugar." he said and kissed her passionately in the doorway...

"I'm always giving Daddy some sugar." she laughed...

"Yesssssss" he said and squeezed her tight.. 

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!" moaned Jetty in between sloppy kisses.

"Oh Jetty, you sound like a moose, all that moaning...laughed Virginia...

Jetty stripped down to his boxers and lifted her night gown over her head...

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!OHHHHHH MY GODDD!" he exclaimed, slipping her panties down...and off..

Virginia was deep throat kissing him and now aroused herself..She couldn't stop...

Jetty lifted her ,parted her legs and plunged inside of her....

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH VIRGINIA!! OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!" he moaned...

"JETTTTTTTTTTYYY...OH MY GODDDDDDDDDD!" she moaned.

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMMMM UMMMMM!" he moaned..

This made Virginia giggle, right before she had an intense orgasm...

"OHHHHHHHHHHH MY....OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...OUUU..OOOOOOOOP!" she howled..

She mounted herself on top of him and began to move up and down and continued kissing him, having yet another intense orgasm....

Just as soon they were on the bed....

and in the bed , making love for the next EIGHT TO NINE HOURS...Virginia had her third intense orgasm that brought her to tears and Jetty came like a gusher.....

"Ummmmmmmmm... LAWWWWWWWD TODAY! THIS IS ALRIGHT!!! LAWD!" he exclaimed, squeezing her buttocks...

"You are so nasssssty.." Virginia giggled.... "Go ahead...they're yours.." said Virginia..

" For real??? Do I get some more sugar? " he asked raffishly...

"Sure, Horndog! " said Virginia, smiling and kissing Jetty until they both fell soundly asleep.. 

Her left leg, still trembling a bit....

.

While at the Holiday Inn, Olive stared out the window...wishing she had never gotten herself into this mess.
