A Dish Best Served Cold

 

"Okay Everybody...Let's saddle up!" said my wife Olivia, as we piled into the buses, one by one....

PRELUDE -THE THURSDAY BEFORE LABOR DAY

Everyone had taken off from work early today and was busy piling on the buses... Everybody was off Friday....

We were headed for Nelson's two beach houses at the shore... We decided to leave early....2:00 pm ,so we could get an early start... I drove one Bus , Gary drove the other and Rockland drove the Catering truck....We parked them behind the Beachfront Houses...

We arrived  at 4:30 ,Thursday afternoon...This gave everybody time to get their rooms set up and get things rolling..

We all unloaded our suitcases and things and got set up in our rooms..

In house one.. was Olivia and I,Donnie Ray Alexander , Beverly and Nelson, Josie and Paris, Bresha and Tony and Alfreda and Rockland.. We were all on the second floor..

"Since we have to leave Sunday Afternoon, it's good we came down Thursday afternoon...This is even better"said Olivia.

"Sure is...We have tonight , all day tomorrow , Saturday and Sunday until about 2:00 pm or 3:00." I said.

''Either way, we get back in time to unload and chill out the rest of the afternoon.." said Beverly..

"Come on, Let's get these grills set up." said Nelson..

"It's good we have tents to set up...just in case it rains." said Josie..

"No rain in the forecast....I checked." said Paris.

"Great..because I bought some new bikinis I'm dying to wear this weekend."said Bresha.

"And I'm dying to see you in them" said her husband, Ray.,

"This is so nice..So relaxing..I plan to just relax on the beach or here....This place has central air..I might just stay here inside."said Alfreda.

"Anywhere you go, I will follow baby!" said her husband, Rockland.

On the third floor was our good friends, Yvette Jones -Lockwood and her husband, Gary,  Keith Jones, his wife, Beatrice "Bee Bee" Jones,  Sofia Garcia- Ahmed, her husband, Kahlil Ahmed, Jade and Danny Ho and Virginia and Jetty..

" I love this place...Central Air...Comfortable beds..."said Yvette.

"Yeah me too!"said her husband, Gary,....

"As soon as we get set up...Let's go next door.. That's where the beer is and the card games."said Keith Jones.

''Right behind you honey bunny.But they'll be bringing food over here too!" said Bee Bee.

"Let's go next door..."said Sofia..

"You go ahead.. I'm helping Nelson ,Gary and Donnie Ray set the grills up and the tents.." said Kahlil.

"Ouuu nice..Tents with both grills...We bought a lot of meat..."said Jade..

"Olivia said she wanted to cook it all off before it expired...She had a lot of it in her deep freezer..She needed space." said Danny Ho.

"What are you going to do? Olivia, Vettie , Zoey, Jade, Karen and me are going to play Spades and drink some beer." said Virginia..

After I help Donnie Ray, Nelson, Danny and Gary get the grills started, I guess I'll be here with you guys...The youngins will all probably be next door..That's where the games are."said Jetty.

Each house had a beautiful kitchen and a downstairs area for lounging and hanging out...

Next door in house two

"This is so nice...Wowww...our second time here babes." said Tyrell.

"Ouu Yes...I could sure use this rest....This came right at the nick of time."said Renee.

Tyrell and Renee got their room set up...They were sharing this house with  Jazzy, her husband, Dabnis, Olivia and Beverly's cousin, Kayla, her husband, Ray, Jessica and her husband, Chip, Brooke and Sean, Natalie and David, Karen and her boyfriend, B.L. , and Zoey and Lem...  

This was a couple's retreat, for want of a better word.. Tyrell and Renee liked all of us, and loved the little community we lived and worked in...

"Last get together before the end of Summer...This was right on time."said Jazzy.

"It Sure was..and this place is perfect...."said her husband, Dabnis.

"Ouuuuuuuuuuu I'm just going to relax and make love all weekend." said Kayla.

"Is that a promise?."said Ray, laughing....

"I've got the games set up in the living room and tables and chairs for card games." said Jessica.

"Crank up the music and let the games begin.." said her husband, Chip..

"I could use a cold one right now.."said Brooke.

"Take your pick baby doll." said  Sean

Like times before....There was plenty of Beers and Sodas on Ice....

"I smell the Burgers and the Dogs on the grill...You hungry baby?" asked Natalie..

"Hungry and Thirsty.." said David..

"Well Make yourself a plate... Everything is cooking. "said Karen, who had helped me, Gary, Tony,B.L., Paris, Nelson, Keith and Kahlil.. with the preparation of the meats.

"Oh Look, More Food!" said a smiling B.L.

Beverly, Josie and Alfreda brought Bowls of Pork and Beans, Creamy Pasta Salad and Cole Slaw into both houses..

For everyone to eat with their meats..

Everybody was going to chow down today and tomorrow and Saturday.....

"Oh my God, I don't know where to start first.."said Zoey...

"I'm goin for that seafood and the beer." said Lem.

Alexa was set up in both houses with a wide selection of Classic R& B, Neo Soul ,Smooth Jazz and Classic Hip Hop on the play list...

There was Backgammon, Jessica and Sofia liked a good game of Backgammon...

Chess...Rockland liked a good game of Chess... So did both Olivia and I.

and cards for those who played Spades, Poker, Bidwhist  and or Pinocle..Something for everyone...

And the food...  Multiple grills were set up with Burgers and Dogs..

Chicken and steaks and Hot Sausages..

and especially the Seafood grill.....

"Wow ,the last big getaway before the summer ends huh?  Wowwwww!"said Bee Bee.

"I know girl, right?  You guys ever come down here in the Winter? I mean you could...Both of these houses have Central Air..." said Renee.

"We haven't , but that's a thought...We could all sit inside and have Hot Cocoa and Hot Toddies...."said Sofia, laughing..

"Maybe we can run that by Nelson" said Tyrell, smiling..

''So how do you like your new home and the neighborhood Renee'? It's been a couple of months now." asked Jazzy...

"It has been wonderful!" said Renee ,leaning her head on Tyrell's shoulder.

Tyrell hugged her..

"This neighborhood has everything you need....Three Shopping centers..A Movie Theatre....Three major clubs, Josie's, Aqua Bar and Stoleys...A great sandwich shoppe..a nice church, which we plan to join.and transportation... I mean you want for nothing around here." he said.

"That's why we like it!" said Beverly..."I've loved this neighborhood from the time me and my auntie moved around here..I'm just glad all of you guys moved around here too! Now it truly has everything." she added.

"I feel the same way." said Josie.

"Me too!" said Bresha.

"Yeah we all feel pretty much the same way...We were lucky to get a good realtor, who was able to get us all houses on the same block practically." said Kayla..

''Yeah, We loved the new houses around here." said Bee Bee

"Ouuuuu yes." said Sofia..

"Same with us...We are a few blocks down, but this is a nice area..." said Natalie.. 

We were all having a great time....

A FEW BLOCKS AWAY-

Former Special Prosecutor, Gary Smith was celebrating the weekend in a Beachfront house... An Attorney friend at his firm was allowing him to use it for the weekend...He was entertaining his female guest... Unlike us.. They were the only two there..

"You enjoying yourself..?" he asked his date...

"Ohhh Yes....You say this is your colleauge's place?" asked his lady friend..Ruby Peterson.

''Yes, one of the Attorneys at my firm.. We're pretty tight....He has let me use this Beachfront house before." said Gary Smith...

As the two toasted and drank their martini's....

They began kissing after they finished their drinks...

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Gary.....you're so fresh..." she said..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU BABY!!!" he moaned..

She had met him just a month before in Josie's.....They had laughed and talked all night long... She told him she was a court stenographer and he had told her he was an attorney... They hit it off quite well..

He took her out for drinks at Stephen Bristol's Rooftop Carribean Restaurant and then to Bottom of The C.  They next went out for drinks at Curley's and he proposed the idea of them spending Labor Day Weekend at his friend's Beach house.

"It'll just be the two of us all alone." he promised..

She readily agreed.. This was their first time kissing... She was enjoying the kiss.

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" He moaned......

She could feel him getting harder and harder...She smiled...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she cooed

He slipped her panties down...When she purchased these she at first thought they might be a little risque.. then she decided they would be just right..

She gasped as he lifted her up and entered her...Her eyes got as wide as saucers....

"OHHHHHHH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDD!" she yelled out in total surprise...

"WOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she yelled out

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMPH!" he grunted....

He placed her on the bathroom sink , spread her legs and entered her again... Her body trembled something fierce and she held on to him for dear life...Tears flowed like water down her face...She experienced a deep orgasm....

He spread her legs and entered her doggie style..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU YOU'RE A BEAST!! UMMMMMMMMMM!" she moaned...

They were on the bathroom and bedroom floor really going at it....She had another very intense orgasm.....

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!  OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she cried out.

When they got to the bedroom, she slowly eased herself down on him and began to slowly move up and down... Again Her body trembled something fierce and she held on to him for dear life...Tears flowed like water down her face...She experienced another deep orgasm....She kissed him slowly and softly...

He was losing his mind...

She rode him like a surfer rides the waves....for FOUR HOURS....

Before he turned her over and entered her missionary style....

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, AWWWWWWWWWW GARY!!! OUUUUUUUUUU
DO YOU EVER GET ENOUGH?" she asked..

She held him for deer life as he humped her on the bed...

"YOU ARE A BEAST!! OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she cried out...

They made sweet love for another FIVE HOURS, before he came like a gusher...She came so hard, she was crying like a little girl....

She relaxed on top of him...as he drifted off to sleep.. She smiled... That was alright...he deserved to rest after the way he worked out...She was totally satisfied.

Neither one of them realized they had been photographed......

SATURDAY NIGHT-

We were on the Boardwalk.....The Youngins were up front...They had been dancing all night at a Beachfront Club...with a nice D.J.  They were walking back to Nelson's Beachfront houses where they were staying..

''Wow..I had soooo much fun tonight."said Beverly ,leaning into her husband's shoulder.

''So did I...I didn't even know that club was there and we were down here Memorial Day and the 4th of July.." said Nelson...

''Well we know now and the next time we come..We know where to go."said Josie.

''What a nice way to end the summer...I start school Tuesday." said Paris.

"I am so happy for you....You get credited for two years...You go boy!" said Bresha.

''Make us Proud man."said Tony...

"I'm tired...I just want to get off of my feet." said Jazzy, hanging on to her husband, Dabnis...

"Me too!  Hey we can sleep with the window up...There are nice breezes, This is good sleeping weather." said Dabnis.

"YESSSSSSSSSS! It is.!" said Kayla.

"Thes past three days have been great....I wished I could stay for the week." said Ray.

''Well we go home tomorrow and we have all day Monday to relax at home."said Jessica.

"Yup and Olivia said there will be a catered breakfast for everyone in their conference room at 11:00 AM Monday Morning." said Chip...

"Ouu Good and I think we have enough food that we can set those grills up behind their house and have a little mini cook out for the block that afternoon.."said Bee Bee.

"Ouuu yeah....This will make one whole week we haven't had to see or deal with Lt. Tragg...We won't have to on Monday either." said Keith Jones.

''And let's not mention him anymore...We 've been having a good time."said Sofia.

"Yeah."said Kahlil...

"Ummmmm Baby...I am so sleepy..." said Renee.

"We'll be at Nelson's place before long..." said Tyrell.

"I've had soooo much fun these past few days...Me and Brooke came down here by ourselves the year before last, we stayed in a hotel......It was cool, but not like this.This was the best."said Natalie, glad to have a husband and be surrounded by friends...

"This was the best...I can't say when I've had this much fun."said David Charles.

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuu We really danced...I don't think we ever stopped...That D.J. was good."said Brooke.

"Yeah, He was nice, but he didn't play any slow songs."laughed her husband, Sean...

Gary Smith and his date Ruby Peterson had been in the club too...They had seen and recognized all of the young people from our group...

"I know all of those people in that crowd headed that way.... They're all attorneys...I've faced a lot of them in court...They're either in the hotel or they have a Beach front house down here." said Gary with a smile.

"Or a couple...That's a lot of people." said Ruby... "I counted 20...So that's ten rooms." she laughed...

While the others headed home, the rest of us were in a Restaurant, having a late night snack...

"OLIVIA BENNETT, YVETTE JONES!!! WELL I'LL BE.... I SAW YOUR YOUNG ASSOCIATES IN THE CLUB OUT ON THE BEACH....YOU ALL ARE DOWN HERE TOO HUH?" said Gary Smith...

Despite our battles in court...There was no hard feelings...It was just a job...We weren't in court...We were all just on the Beach and Boardwalk, having fun...

"Oh Hiiiiiiiiii...We've been down here since Thursday...Beverly's husband has two Beachfront houses right next to each other...We've all been staying in them..." said Olivia.

"We come down almost every holiday...All of us..." I said.

"I counted 10 rooms...by the size of your group , it's even more...You said you're staying in two beachfront homes...That makes sense', all of you guys." said Ruby...

"This is my uh friend, Ruby Peterson...We are staying at my colleauge's Beach front house a few blocks down... He lets me use it from time to time." said Gary Smith.

"Oh Pleased to meet you..You look familliar." said Olivia.

"I recognize your friend..She's a court stenogtapher..."said Yvette..

"That's right..I recognize you too...I've seen you and your people and Olivia and her people in court several times... I see you guys are hanging out with our former bailiff, Tyrell Jones, who just became an attorney...I'm so happy and proud of him." said Ruby...She seemed nice..

"Grab a couple of seats...Join us...These Crab Legs are good."said Yvette.

"Nothing like Crab Legs and Beers.." said her husband ,Gary...

"You'd better come on, We're about to eat this place out of crab legs."joked Zoey.

"She's right." said her husband, Lem...

Alfreda laughed as she stuffed a Crab Leg into her husband's mouth...

Rockland smiled..

"There's a few chairs...join us." said Virginia.

"Come on mannnnn."said Judge Jetty Dukes..

Jade and her husband, Danny Ho were drinking beer by the glass...

While Karen Page and her boyfriend, B.L. were cracking crabs..

"You know what? I think I will join you all." said Gary Smith...

His date Ruby Peterson smiled...She liked these people.Even though they were attorneys, they weren't snooty...They were real down to earth folks...She appreciated that!  They sat down and joined us.

There was plenty of crabs...

and lots of beer.....

He and Ruby joined us and we all cracked crabs and drank beer and laughed and talked the whole time.

All Along, not realizing that this was all being photographed...Just like he and Ruby had been photographed in the club and in the bedroom!

"I shoulda known if Beverly and the youngins were in that club, Olivia and Vettie weren't far behind..They all had quite some wing ding this weekend down there huh?" said Lt. Tragg.

"You Know Artie..You hate these people and they don't give you a second thought...They're busy enjoying life...While you stay miserable and dedicate your life to making them miserable everytime you see them...They aren't committing a crime going to the shore for the weekend...and doing what everybody down there does, get sloppy drunk and frolic on the beach while staying at two beach houses.. and what's with this guy Gary Smith?...Why are you having me follow him?" asked Bert Vandenberg..

"I don't care about Olivia, Vettie and the rest of them....but that guy Gary Smith...I despise him....After the Olive Gordon case...

He was angry because he lost the case...He goes to the press, the damn press and lambasts me, Says I loused up the investigation, was unco-operative and made it impossible for him to try the case the way he would have wanted....Embarrassing the hell out of me on Television...But worse....He wrote a scathing, end of trial report that got me sent out on the Marine Boat for 14 days..

I swore revenge and now I've got it... Like Most Hot shot , ego centric attorneys... Mr. Smith is a ladies man...He can't keep it in his pants!

ADA Jill Jones thinks so...

They had drinks recently at a Tony Rooftop Bar....and then back to his loft

where he deflowered her....

I was livid, when I found out...I knew he must have more than one squeeze....and you found her..

This Peach...Her name is Amy Rosenberg....She's a Physical Therapist out on the main line... They've had an off and on relationship, going on four years now... He had a restraining order out on her...but he dropped it...

She came to his loft with just a rain coat and nothing under it but this... VA VA VA VOOOOOOOOM!!

And the two had one last romp in the sack.....Mind you, that was just days before he picked up the court stenographer and took her down the shore for the weekend... You've done great work Bert." said Lt. Tragg.

''So What do you want me to do with all these photos?"asked Bert.

"I want photos of  his weekend frolics with this Court Stenographer sent to Jill Jones and Amy Rosenberg and I want photos of his frolics with Jill Jones sent to Ruby Peterson sent to Amy Rosenberg....Cover yourself.  Have your operative mail the photos from out of town...When these women get these photos....The lid is going to blow.....His world aint gonna be the same  I'm telling you!

Heh heh heh! A shit storm is gonna rain down on him, the likes he's never seen before." said Lt. Tragg.

''Sure Artie" said Bert who looked at him.. ''What a petty , miserable man...he has no joy in life....None at all..He spends his time with Petty Vendettas ." he thought.

SATURDAY NIGHT-

We were all at Millionaire ,Rollie Rollerson's newest restauraunt.....Something different for us.. He reserved the big round table, next to the bar for us...

 ''Wowwww! Just a week ago, we were all down the shore...on the beach and now a week later, We are Rollie Rollerson's special guests at his new restaurant..."gushed Olivia.

"You know despite the work you guys do with civil rights and LGBTQ rights and Immigration and Wrongfully convicted clients...It's your millionaire friends, Rollie, Stephen Bristol and that creepy Graves guys that really benefit us.."I said ,laughing..

"They don't pay on the installment plan ,They pay upfront  bigly and they shower us with little gifts like this...VIP invites to their new restaurant and bars.."said Beverly with a smile.

"All our clients can't be poor...We'd never make any money."joked Nelson.

"This place is nice and this big table is beautiful....We are all together."said Josie.

"I gotta hand it to Rollie...He goes big or He don't go at all."said Paris.

''Is he going to be here tonight?" asked Bresha.

"Mannnnnnnnn we've got to come back here...Just me and you."said Tyrell....

"You want to give me the world don't you , and all I want is you, to be with you.."said Renee, rubbing his hands softly and staring into his eyes..

"I love this place..It's so romantic."said Jazzy...
 

"Yeah...the kind of place we might have come to back when we lived in the condos." laughed her husband, Dabnis....

"Wowwww! Just a week ago, we were all down the shore...on the beach and now a week later, We are Rollie Rollerson's special guests at his new restaurant..."gushed Kayla. echoing her cousin.

"You Bennett Women and your connections."joked her husband,Ray.

"Aye Mios Dios....This place is soooooo nice... You like this place better of Stephen Bristols?" asked Jessica.

"I really don't know...It's a toss up...Both were great places.." said Chip.

"I think I like this place the best."said Karen Page..

"You do? It's a Toss up for me , but at any rate...It's a nice place to go on a lazy Saturday."said B.L.

"I hear you B.L. After we came back from Brunch...I took a short nap...I didn't have any plans for tonight until Beverly called me."said Natalie.

"Yeah, this was cool...We haven't been bothered with Lt. Tragg for two straight weeks..We haven't had to go to court and we've forgone Curley's...This is great."said David.

"It does make a difference...Less Agravation....No Aggravation."said Brooke.

"I know he misses us." laughed Sean.
 "Just a week ago, we were all down the shore...on the beach and now a week later, We are Rollie Rollerson's special guests at his new restaurant..."gushed Zoey.....

"We've been having the best time." said her husband, Lem.....

Former Special Prosecutor, Gary Smith walked into the restaurant.... He wasn't feeling his best tonight..

He had had a Hell of a Week.

His date of last week Ruby Peterson had received some photos in the mail of him having sexual trysts with ADA Jill Jones and Physical Therapist, Amy Rosenberg....She was beyond pissed...She slapped his face and angrilly told him to lose her number...

The Photos had been mailed from New York City....He didn't know anyone in New York who would have a grudge against hm!!!! He was perturbed..

Likewise, ADA Jill Jones received photos of him  having sexual trysts with Court Stenographer Ruby Peterson and Physical Therapist, Amy Rosenberg....She was beyond pissed...She slapped his face and angrilly told him to lose her number...

"You told me you'd be in Maryland visiting relatives this weekend...Instead you were down the shore with the cute court stenographer and fooling around with this woman just days before you left...You are a male whore.....Lose my number you bastard." she screamed at him...

Likewise, Amy Rosenberg was furious with him...She received photos of him having sexual trysts with Ruby Peterson and Jill Jones and of him and Ruby Peterson at a Beachfront night club and a Beachfront restaurant...drinking beer and cracking crabs...

"YOU LIAR, YOU MALE WHORE....You told me you were going to be in Maryland, visiting relatives,instead you were on the beach with your new strumpet....OUUUUUU lose my number you creep.." she said and slapped his face....

All of the photos had been mailed to these women from New York....He knew no one in New York...He knew no one who would have this kind of animosity against him... He studied all of his prosecutions, All of the guys he had put away....None of them had any New York connections...

And why would they care about ruining his love life?

He didn't know....but he had come here to sort it all out....He looked up and he saw Olivia, Yvette and all of the people he had partied with on the beach last Saturday...That lifted his spirits somewhat..

"Olivia, Yvette and colleagues...We've got to stop meeting like this." he joked.

"Heyyyyy Gary! What are you doing following us?" asked Olivia, smiling..

"I was going to ask if you were following me?" he laughed...It was the first time he'd laughed in three days.... He had really been going through it.

''Hey, where's Ruby?" asked Yvette.

"Er uh ruh, I uh don't know where she is tonight." he said...

"I think we have room for one more person here...pull up a seat." I said..

"Oh No....you guys go on....I don't want to break up your party....besides....I won't be staying that long anyway.." he said..

His phone rang.....It was Amy Rosenberg...

"Gary....Gary...I need you!! I need your help!" came the voice of Amy Rosenberg...

"I thought you were through with me." he said.

"I'm through sleeping with you...but I never stopped being your friend...Aren't you still MY FRIEND?? I need your help....You're a Special Prosecutor....I need you, they're going to kill me!" she said.

"I'm not the Special Prosecutor now...That job is over...Who is going to kill you?" asked Gary..

"Please...Please just come over....I need your help please...If you have any feelings at all for me, please come over!" she pleaded...

"There is always so much drama with you....I'm not far from you...I'll be there." said Gary...

He left immediately without ordering anything.

45 MINUTES LATER-

Gary Smith entered Amy's loft...It was eerily quiet...The door had been unlocked...

He called out!

"AMY!!!!! AMY!!!!" There was no answer......l

He walked into her kitchen and to his horror, there she lie on the floor...Her lifeless eyes staring at the ceiling and a nice neat little bullet hole in the middle of her head...and a pool of blood on the floor..

"AMY OH MY GOD!!" he said...

He never saw whoever snuck up behind him with a sap and struck  him on the head, knocking him unconscious...and placing a hot pistol in his hands..

If he thought his luck couldn't get any worse!!!! It Just did!
