Busy Bodies

 Lt. Tragg was released from the "Cooler " on Monday Morning...

He had had all weekend to sit and fume in his cell...He was out now and back to work.. He wouldn't have to worry about the lawyers he always tormented because he wasn't going to see them for awhile..They were going to be busy...

The same held for Assistant District Attorney Bruce Greene...

It was back to court for him with a couple of cases to prosecute...

Both Renee and Tyrell were hired out as "Consultants" on cases involving their neighbors and friends in the Bridge Building..

Tyrell was working on a Federal Case with Federal Public Defender, Sean Marks.

It was a Wrongfully Accused case that also involved his pretty wife, Brooke Marks

her best friend, foxy attorney, Natalie Charles.

and her husband, David Charles

Supervised by ADA Karen Page..

This was an Innocence Project Case, co-ordinated by 

It was played out in the Federal Court...

It was a controversial case that was in the newspapers and on Television...

Jessica and Chip were busy co-ordinating yet another Federal Case that involved the Innocence Project...It was unrelated but going on at the same time in two different courtrooms and involving two different clients...

 

 

Renee worked the first one with Yvette's team..

She loved hanging out with them and working this case with them...

She liked the Federal court...The cleanliness of it.. The Modernization of it...and it's closeness to the Fashion district..

She even got to see Tyrell in the hallway during court recesses..

Both of their cases ended in acquittals and before they could catch their breath...The third case which would involve them both began..

This time 

paired them both with Olivia and Beverly's team..

 

It was always so much fun working with them... Josie's husband, Paris...on the days he wasn't in school, helped out as a para-legal in the morning and took his classes virtually in the evening.

Bresha's husband, Tony was also signed on as a "Consultant " on the case...

Like the other two cases before it...This case was in Federal Court... Which they loved because they didn't have to go downtown...They weren't dealing with Lt. Tragg in any shape or form and they ate

at the modern Cafeteria at the Bridge...with everybody....

''Jessica, I know you're exhausted...Co-Ordinating three big trials at one time...and winning them all..WOW Girl.."said Renee.

"I did it because I have a supportive husband and very talented friends and colleauges...I thank you all..I could not have done this without you." she said.

''I wish we could pay you guys more.. you really got us over the barrell with these three cases...They were so important and they proved points, all of them.."said Chip..

''We were only too glad to help Jessie."said Olivia, smiling and hugging her.

 

''It was nice having a case down here and walking right over here to eat and not having to worry about a certain unhinged individual whining and complaining and carrying on."said Donnie Ray.

"I wish we had more cases in the Federal Courthouse, I like it." said Beverly...

"Yeah I like it too."said her husband, Nelson.

"I liked that I got to see and work with my hubby and he's getting so much on the job experience and doing so well in law school." gushed Josie.

Paris blushed something crazy....

"Look at him, just blushing....Like he just met Josie..."said Bresha...

"My man got a lot of good training...So did I."said Bresha's husband Tony, glad to be able to work with his wife and such a big case..

''We enjoyed our time too Jessie...Especially working with Renee...That's always a good time."said Yvette.
 

"Yeah...it's such a relief to work in Federal Court." said Keith Jones.

'It's close."said Bee Bee.

"Yeah, practically walking distance."said Sofia.

"Yeah, although I can count the times we actually walked to court."laughed Kahlil. 

"When are we gonna start driving to work again?" joked Jade.

"HAAAAAAAAAAAA!" laughed Virginia, sitting on her husband's lap...

"You learned a lot these past three weeks didn't you young fella?" asked her husband, Judge Jetty Dukes.

"I sure did." laughed Tyrell.

''We liked having Renee down here." said Jazzy.
 

''Yeah, you had somebody to go shopping with.."said Dabnis.

''An Extra Body...She's getting married soon,.she's going to need a few things." said Kayla.

He husband Ray just laughed..

"Me and my hubby are taking a few days off." said Jessica.

''Yeah we need it."said Chip.

"You deserve it...Three straight trials...One after the other." said Karen...

"I Imagine Renee and Tyrell need some time off too.. They worked two out of three cases didn't they?"asked Natalie.

"Tyrell worked ours and Renee worked Yvette's and they Both worked Olivia and Beverly's case..."said David.

''We've all been working pretty hard lately.." said Brooke.

''As Zoey said...That's what pays the bills...Keeps the lights on."laughed Sean.

"B.L. wants all of us on his show next week...He'll call you with the schedules....I'm not going to be on..but the rest of you can.."said Karen..

'We're going to be on TV sweetie." said Renee to Tyrell..

''How about we go home and make a porn movie?" jokedTyrell..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUU LISTEN AT HOW NASTY YOU TALK TO ME!!" Renee laughed..

II-

ADA  Bruce Greene watched TV... He saw coverage of The Federal Trial....

He saw Renee with Yvette Jones Lockwood and company and the Innocence Project attorneys, Jessica Sanchez-Burrows and her husband, Charles Burrows..

 

 

He saw them in court on the news ...

and he saw them all on B.L. Benz's program... HARD BOTTOM...

He saw her again...with Olivia Bennett-Alexander, her husband, Donnie Ray, her niece and right hands, Beverly West-East, Nelson East, and her associates, Josie Boyd, her husband, Paris, and Bresha Billips and her husband, Tony...

 

The "Bailiff" turned lawyer, who was now her live in boyfriend, He'd never say fiance..

Tyrell Jones, who he hated beyond measure was also with them....

He saw Tyrell with Karen Page, Natalie Charles, Brooke Marks, David Charles and Sean Marks..

helping out in yet another Innocence Project case, organized by

Jessica Sanchez-Burrows and her husband, Chip...

These were three landmark cases that everybody was talking about.. CNN, MSNBC, FOX, ABC,CBS, NBC and everybody in the legal community were hailing them and talking to them and about them..

He was an odd and Petty man who found himself very jealous, very envious of Renee and Tyrell's successes by piggy backing on to these cases.....

At Curleys...

Lt. Tragg was watching it too...This explained why he didn't see any of them...They were all busy in Federal Court.....

He hated that B.L. was having them all on Television.....and that they were the toast of the town and not him...

They didn't come in Sam Mother's Diner and they didn't come in Curleys....

At their home...

"It was nice of Boss Lady to give us two days off huh?" said Tyrell..

Renee was wearing a Pink sheer night gown... She walked past Tyrell and smiled.. She knew she was turning him on....

"OHHH MY GODDD GIRL, what are you doing to me?" Tyrell said...

"I'm not doing anything....tee hee...I'm just showing you something new I bought...My goodness...look at you..."she laughed... His trousers were standing out like a circus tent... She smiled and put her hand over her mouth...

"Rell...How long have you been attracted to me...I mean sexually?" she asked.

"Since that first night I was introduced to you in San-Francisco....I knew I wanted to see you again...I knew I wanted to hear your voice again...to be in your presence." he said.

"WOWWWWWWW!!! That was so beautiful..." said Renee... "You are just a smoothie." she laughed..

She kissed him passionately...

"You know how to get a girl to kiss you don't you?" she said in between kisses..

He slipped her panties down...

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH RENEE!" he cried out..

She gasped as he spread her legs apart and entered her slowly....

"OHHHHHHHHHHH...OHHHHHHHHH MY GOD, YOU ARE SO DAMN BIG!!! OUUUUUUUU and HARD!!!!" she said.

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM YOU MAKE ME THAT WAY!" he said..

"I IMAGINE I DO!!! OUUUUUUUUUUUUUU BOY!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO  MEEEEEE?" she cried out..

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME???" he exclaimed..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU..WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" she cooed strongly...

"RENEE, you are driving me out of my minnnnnnddd! AWWWWWWW LAWWWWD!" he howled.

They made sweet love for the next FIVE TO SIX HOURS.. 

"OHHHHHHHHHHHH  Tyrell!!!!  OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU  TYRELL!!

UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM" she moaned..as the bed rocked and squeaked louder than it had since they'd begun making sweet love... The headboard creaked and sounded like it might split in half...

"Renee Renee  baby....Oh my goddd this is sooooooooo damn good.." he moaned...

The bed squeaked even louder...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she cooed. She had yet another intense orgasm , that had her crying like a school girl, had her head turning from side to side and had her legs trembling...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUU WHYYYYYYY?? WHYYYYYY?? WHY DO YOU HAVE TO DO IT TO ME SO DAMN GOOD???OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! AWWWWWWWWW LAWWWWD WHYYYYY?WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY? UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!! I'M HOOKED....I'M HOOKED ON YOUR PENIS!!!OHHHHHHHHHHH!" she cried out...

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWW SWEEEEEET BABYYYYYY! OUUUUUUUUU!" he moaned..

"TYRELL, I'M ABOUT TO CUMMMM!  UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!" she cried out!

He came so hard, he thought he was about to die.

She lie on his chest....He was snoring...She giggled..He was so cute when he snored, she thought.. She smiled and lay her head on his chest until she slowly drifted off into a peaceful sleep.

III-

CORAL GABLES- ROOFTOP BISTRO!

"Tyrell, what kind of woman was Thelma Greene like?" asked Renee as they sat in the Coral Gables Rooftop Bar and restaurant, waiting for their dinner to arrive.

"She was a kind woman, mostly a lonely woman.....When I was a bailiff...I was young, flirtatious..I smiled and talked briefly with all of the female attorneys when they were paying bail for their clients, when a verdict was being read and what have you...but it never went further than that...I was even friendly with a lot of the ADA's male and female..  All of the court employees, Baillifs, Stenogtaphers, a few cops hated Bruce Greene....He was a snob and treated all of us like we were dirt, not even human....just part of the furniture..

Thelma Greene used to come to court when he was trying a case and sit and listen to his press conferences after he won...I could look at her and tell she was bored...bored with him, bored with life in general...and very, very lonely...Bruce Greene was a dog , a womanizer....He made a pass at every pretty young attorney her saw...I'm sure she knew it...

I met her at the beginning of my third and final year of law school...She was a very attractive woman...What started as little glances and smiles that lasted a little longer than they should have, led to her calling me into the judges chambers..

.shortly after one of her husband's trials began...and long, slow,sloppy kisses....and her asking for my address and phone number.

I was as shocked as anything when she showed up at my apartment one afternoon, right around dinner time...

We made love until around 9:30....She was an older woman, she blew my mind, rocked my world... I knew it was wrong...I didn't want to keep doing it, but she kept throwing it at me.. and I was too weak to refuse...and before you know it...We were in a full blown affair...She said she needed it...She said that Bruce was a "Sixty Second man " in bed....She said she didn't care if he did find out...She wondered if the women he was cheating on her with were fulfilled in the bed.. She said she doubted it, which was why there were so many.

 First it was once a month, then once a week, then three times a week... I knew somebody was going to find out sooner or later.

I'm certain he did find out and she was dead soon after... The man that killed her.. C.W. Mapp was written off as some psycho who was obsessed with her and he committed suicide...but I'm certain he was paid by Bruce Greene...He's just that vindictive... 

He had hired P.I,.Bert Vandenberg to follow her...He knew we were having an affair for months...

Plus he prosecuted C.W. Mapp on smuggling charges three years ago and dismissed the charges..He knew him...He made three phone calls to him in the week leading up to his wife's death and he withdrew $1500.00 in cash from his bank account that has never been accounted for...and another $1500,00.. a day after his wife's death... C.W. Mapp deposited $3000.00 into an off shore account...and left town....For reasons no one can explain, he returned to town and was found dead of a gunshot wound to the head in a seedy apartment building...The police ruled it a suicide and they found the gun and several photos of Mrs. Green in her bra and panties in his room...

Brucie got lucky...He was never charged, but to this day, I think he had his wife killed...

I was acquitted and while I was in San-Francisco, that $3000.00 in C.W. Mapp's off shore account, vanished and the account was closed...I had Donnie Ray check. What do you think?" said Tyrell.

"Oh my goddddd! He's a monster....I could never be with him...and despite that...He could never make me happy....I can sense that...He's petty, vindictive, egotisical.... all the things I hate in people and worse...He's cheap..."said Renee...

"Jazzy, Kayla, Ms. Yvette and Natalie all dated him once, before they got married and all of them said the same thing you said.. he constantly talks about himself and he made them pay the drink tab... None of them gave him a kiss or an invite in or a second date.. He even went after Brooke, when she was an ADA... She turned him down as politely as she could , but he wouldn't take no for an answer for awhile....." said Tyrell..

"We all have that in common...We've been on one date with him....and we've all paid the drink tab..."said Renee... 

She and Tyrell cracked up laughing.

Their meals were served....Thick New York Strip steaks and Baked Potatoes...

and a nice Port of Wine....(Donnie Ray had told him what to pick!)

Renee was impressed with Tyrell's tastes and urbaneness....as well as his gallantry, but she insisted on paying half the bill...

''We are going to married now...We are a team....You don't need to impress me anymore than you have..We can work together to pay these bills..." she said.

All of their friends, despite the amounts of money they made, operated this way...

They kissed passionately....

"I love you Renee." he said.

"I love you too Rell." she said...

Not realizing they were being photographed...

As they enjoyed their meal and their conversation..

III-

THE OFFICE OF ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY, BRUCE GREENE

"Here are the photos you wanted...They dined at Coral Gables last Night.." said  Private Investigator, Bert Vandenberg.

ADA Bruce Greene winced at the photos of Renee kissing Tyrell....

"I offered to take her there, She refused....And she goes with him, a first year, first job attorney who I know can't afford that place...I know he can't...That's way out of his pay grade.." he said.

"What do you care?  The Kid is clean, no priors....not even a juvie record....His only arrest was when Lt. Tragg arrested him for murdering your wife...Which you knew he did not do..."said Bert Vandenberg.

''What do you mean by a crack like that?" asked ADA Bruce Greene , getting angry..

"It means don't try to bullshit me....I'm ex-FBI, I know how to run an investigation....I shadowed Donnie Ray...and I found what he found....That you took out $3000.00 in cash in two deposits, in the days before and after your wife's death and that money winds up in C.W. Mapp's off shore account...C.W. Mapp was no player... He was a stone cold loser... He owed you a favor because you dropped charges on him three years ago...After his "Suicide" if that's what he did...That money vanished from that account and it was closed...Who closed it?? You???  You were lucky Olivia couldn't break you down on the stand...I thought she had you for a minute." said Bert Vandenberg...

"You trying to shake me down?  Blackmail me Bert?" asked Bruce Greene.

"Nah, as long as you want me to follow them ,photograph them and tell you where they go, who they see, I'm fine...but I promise you....IF ANYTHING UNTOWARD WERE TO HAPPEN TO EITHER OF THESE PEOPLE..I'LL NAIL YOUR ASS TO THE WALL...I PROMISE YOU THAT BRUCE!" said Bert, who was  growing tired of both his and Lt. Tragg's personal vendettas against people , who they were jealous of and had make believe grievances against... He didn't like ruining people's relationships, driving people to the brink of suicide to satisfy the petty needs of two very miserable and obsessive men.

"You have my word...nothing like that is in my plans..Now what else do you have on them?" Bruce Greene asked.. He had felt bad about having his wife killed and all of the dirty double dealing that followed..He had no idea that C.W. Mapp was  going to return to Philadelphia and kill himself..He considered himself very lucky that he was not implicated and had no intention of anymore criminality...

"Okay, this is the kid-" said  Bert Vandenberg...

''She's far more accomplished than he is...What is she doing with him?? I just don't understand it..."said Bruce Greene.

Bert looked at him with pity...Such a miserable and petty man, he thought to himself.

"Recently Renee was at a spa with these people" said Bert..

It was Olivia Bennett-Alexander, Beverly West-East, Josie Boyd, Bresha Billips, Alfreda Cambridge, Yvette Jones-Lockwood, Beatrice Evans-Jones, Sofia Garcia-Ahned, Jade Lee Ho, Virginia Shaw, Jasmine Coley, Kayla Bennett-St. Jacques, Jessica Sanchez-Burrows, Karen Page, Natalie Charles ,Brooke Marks and Zoey Easter.

They all took a Thursday off last week and took a Bus Ride..

To The Aqua Dome and it's Spa..

It was a beautiful Day Trip for the girls...

Bruce Greene was quite aroused looking at the photos of these women, all attorneys...Some of whom he had tried to date at the spa...

"OHHHHHHHHHHHH...AWWWWWWWWWW OH MY GODDDDDDD!"he moaned.....

There was nothing there damning....

They joined their husbands and boyfriends on the rooftop bar and restaurant at the Aquadome for drinks and Dinner later...

 

 

 

 

Largely because of Lt. Tragg, making himself a constant nuisance...They didn't bother to go to Curleys for couples night...They did something new last Thursday...

And other than that...She and this guy go to work everyday and they come home...They hang out with  these people.who do the same thing....They work during the weekend and hang out on the weekends...They're all straight folks...Nothing extra, no affairs, no secret criminal activity..They're squeaky clean." said Bert, who then walked out of Bruce's office....convinced he hadn't changed his mind one bit.

IV-

They were both back at the Bridge Building on Monday....

Renee was working a serious litigation with Jazzy and Kayla..

It was a three day litigation... It was her first time working with these two...but she liked it and they loved her...

Tyrell worked a litigation with Dabnis, Ray and Tony Billips...

Like Renee and  the girls....They all got along quite famously....Theye were quite impressed with Tyrell, how fast he caught on and how much he already knew, from his years in court watching and learning from the attorneys he saw trying cases.

They used the conference room in Yvette's suite upstairs to do the litigation... It also was a three day trial...

Paris was in school most of the week...Only coming in on Thursday and Friday.....He was one of the few people in his law school , who was actually working at a law firm and getting paid.

That night at home...

''Wow we got to get a new bed girl...I feel like he legs on this bed could go at any minute.." Tyrell said as he tried to catch his breath..

"Wouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu that was awesome...WOWWW!" said Renee...  ''These past few weeks have been great.. We worked all of those cases at the Bridge...We ate all three of our meals at their great cafe... and we made a lot of money...that's the best part..." said Renee..

"Yeah, now Monday, it's back to our building and the same old , same old.." said Tyrell..

"Not for me....Zoey wants me to work a litigation with her...in the building Yvette used to work in.."said  Renee..

"Lucky girl." said Tyrell, smacking her butt...

"Ouch, that hurt.." said Renee,laughing... "Don't feel bad... You've gotten a lot of experience and learned a lot these past few weeks...People will start calling on you more too!" she said..

"Yeah... I like this law business..." said Tyrell..

"Glad to hear that.....I'm so proud of you and all the cases you have worked so far." said Renee...

She gave him a sweet kiss.....
