Hello Harry, Goodbye Harry

PRELUDE- DAYBREAK!  4:00 PM-PHILADELPHIA PA!

EARLY THURSDAY MORNING! 4:30 AM-

Yvette was giving her husband a treat...A treat he usually didn't get early in the morning on a work day...

They had both awakened after a nice night of restful sleep and stared at each other and smiled at each other...

They wound up kissing passionately...

Yvette wound up straddling Gary and riding him on the side of the bed...

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...AWWWWWWWWWWWW THANK YOU BABY, I LOVE YOU SOOO MUCH!!" moaned Gary...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS  YOU'RE WELCOME...I LOVE YOU TOOO!  OUUUUUUUUUU!" cooed Yvette..

She rode him like a surfer rides the waves...She was soft, wet and smelled like a newborn baby...Gary was nearly delirious.....

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU , HURRY UP AND CUM BABY...I'VE GOT TO GET IN THE SHOWER...SO DO YOUUUUUUUUUUUU...UMMMMMMMMMMM!" Yvette moaned.

"I'm almost there....almost there....OHHHHHHHH!"moaned Gary..

 

Gary soon had her bent over the dresser drawer...entering her doggie style..

"OHHHHHHHHH MY GOODNESS...OUUUUUUUUUUU" Yvette moaned as she had an intense orgasm that had her body trembling, her head moving from side to side and tears flowing down her cheeks..

It took Gary a little longer, but eventually , he came and came hard like a gusher....his entire body trembling....and tears and sweat flowing down his face..

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!" he moaned. 

"OOOUUUUUUUUUUUUU GARRRRY!" moaned Yvette...

AN HOUR LATER-

Gary Lockwood, Investigator for the D.A.'s Office and husband of Ms. Yvette was working today..He had already taken his shower and put on a fresh fragrance.

He sat in the kitchen sipping his coffee and watched his wife, Yvette Jones-Lockwood, Attorney at law and our supervisor run through her routine...Which was no different today than any other day..

She got out of bed..Made the bed up...

Took a nice hot shower with her husband Gary....And added  a sweet and fresh smelling body wash, When she finished.she lotioned down, put on a heavenly fragrance.. New Panties and Bra...

and proceeded to get dressed..

She put on a cute outfit...

Called her coffee order ahead and paid for it by phone.. She liked a particular brand of coffee.. Not that coffee at her building's cafeteria was bad, but coffee at this new place down the street from where she worked was really good..

"Another relaxing train ride today." she said to Gary..

"You guys really like that train ride don't you? None of you guys drive to work anymore." asked Gary, smiling. He usually drove to work.

"I do...It's very relaxing...It's not going to stop me from driving...but I do find it relaxing...for the time being. We drive when we have to go to CFC or the Women's Prison..but just going to work or court..We commute. It's a 45 minute ride...very relaxing." laughed Yvette.

and then she kissed Gary softly for three minutes. Gary didn't want to let her go.

''Okay Gary, you gotta let me go now. We can't get started up again..." she giggled, slipping out of his embrace..She loved that Gary loved her and desired her so much!

.before applying her lipstick and hurrying out the door..

''See ya Babes.. Love You!" she said.

"Yeahhhh, see ya..Love you too!" said Gary...Who was more than aroused by that soft kiss from Yvette...

Ms. Yvette walked out of her door..

Yvette Jones -Lockwood, Managing Partner at  McCluskey/Cozen/Connor & Pratt , Office 2 in Philadelphia PA.

"Hola Ms. Yvette." said Jessica Sanchez-Burrows, her next door neighbor and an attorney who worked in her building.

"Hey Yvette" said Jessica's husband, Charles "Chip" Burrows, also an attorney who works in her building.. They both work for the Innocence Project, a floor down. They moved into the new building just two days before Yvette and her staff.

"Hey Guys" said Ms. Yvette..

She was greeted by the five of us...Her staff and her neighbors on the other side of her,

Myself, Attorney Keith Jones

My wife, Attorney Beatrice Evans-Jones

Our good friends, Attorney Sofia Garcia - Ahmed..

Her husband, Kahlil Ahmed

and our investigator, Jade Lee-Ho..

Our Office Manager /Consultant, Virginia Shaw-Dukes and her husband, Judge Jetty Dukes of the Legal Ethics board....also in our building.

Except for her husband, Judge Dukes ,We all worked for her at McCluskey/Cozen/Connor & Pratt

Our neighbor Attorney Josie Boyd, who worked across the street at Olivia Bennett-Alexander and Beverly West's law office..along with Olivia's husband, Investigator, Donnie Ray Alexander and Attorney Nelson East, who stood on the front of their building waving...This was almost a daily thing,unless it was raining.,

Josie passionately kissed her husband, Paris...

"Byeeee see you tonight baby!" she cooed.

''See ya babes." said Paris.

Paris had had a day off.. He'd be taking his classes virtually today in our building...

Erica Chandler, our current client was staying with Olivia and Beverly in her sub-basement.. Was standing outside this morning on their steps with them waving at us as we left for work...She was so grateful to be staying here...Her car parked behind Olivia's building.She staying in their sub-basement.

Our other neighbors, Kayla, Olivia and Beverly's cousin, also an attorney who worked in our building and her husband

, Ray, also an attorney in our building and 

 Dabnis Coley, also an attorney in our building

 and his wife,  Jasmine "Jazzy" Coley, also an attorney in our building joined us as we walked toward the train station, two blocks away.. We all worked in the same building and live on the same street...Some would say that's too much togetherness...but we all like each other and hang out socially at clubs, roller skating rinks, restaurants et al and in and out of each other's homes.

Attorney Bresha Billips, who also worked across the street with Olivia and Beverly

Kissed her husband, Tony goodbye.. She lives down the street.

"Byyyye Baby" she whispered seductively...

"Bye sexy" said her husband, Attorney Tony Billips , who also worked in our building and rode with us..

Olivia's Office manager , Alfreda, who also lived on our block was kissing her husband, ADA Rockland Cambridge goodbye as he headed toward the train station with us..

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Rockland.....Ummm..." she moaned. He knew how to kiss a woman, she thought..He always had...Which was how he had charmed his way into her bed several years ago and eventually her heart,

''Alfreda, we're acting like twenty somethings.."said Rockland in between kisses..

"I feel like a twenty something in the bed with you." she said, which worked wonders for his ego.

Alfreda waved...

Our newest neighbors as well as building mates, Renee and Tyrell Jones , who lived three blocks behind us, were at the train station , when we all arrived....

Once on the train... we met our neighbors from a station above us.. Zoey, her husband, Lem, Sean, his wife, Brooke, Natalie and her husband, David.....

We all headed off to work...A regular day!

At Olivia and Beverly's house... Erica is served Breakfast...

"Olivia...Beverly, your place is beautiful...I mean you've got everything...a Law office, a Law Library, a Media room... Two domiciles in which the four of you live and that beautiful apartment in the sub-basement. I'm just in awe.Thank you so much for letting me crash here...Natalie and David told me that they crashed here before they got married and so did Renee and Tyrell....You even defended Tyrell before he passed the bar... You guys are awesome.|" said Erica.

"You have some awesome attorneys working for you too...We've worked with them many times."said Olivia.

 

'"She's right ...This is the safest place for you to stay...Lt. Tragg would have harrassed you day and night had you of chosen to stay at your apartment... If I know right...He's got a man watching it now..waiting for you to come back there...and given the chance , he'd of stuck GPS tracking devices on your car and monitored you every step of the way...Nelson and I checked your car...Apparently he hadn't got around to that yet." said Donnie Ray.

"That's because they didn't know Yvette and her guys had gotten you out so fast..."said Beverly...

''Right now instead of recanvassing the crime scene...He's busy looking for you and looking for Yvette and her guys..His head is probably exploding." said Nelson..

"Yeah, Imagine that!"laughed Josie..

Bresha laughed....

''Food is ready...everybody dig in." said Alfreda.

Breakfast was served...

 

II-

After Breakfast , we met in the office.

"Okay, we know to prepare for this trial...Bee Bee and Sofia...you know to begin the research...I'll be with you....Laws, Predicates, Similar cases , the works.... Keith , You and Kahlil start looking at the kind of jury we want, the kind of jurors..." said Yvette.
 

"We are on it!" I said..

"This is going to be an uphill battle...but we are up for the struggle."said Bee Bee.

"I hope Jade gives us something to fight on."said Sofia.

"She always does...I'm not worried." said Kahlil.

Virginia walked in with coffees for everybody...

" I figured you guys could use this....it seems like you guys are going to be here for awhile." she said.

 ''Oh girl, you're a godsend..." said Ms. Yvette.

"Thank you Ms. Virginia." I said.

"Yes, thank you..."said Bee Bee..

"You know I'm betting Lt. Tragg thinks he has an open and shut case..He probably didn't check her wherabouts at the time of the murder or verify what time she arrived and compare it to the time of death..He probably hasn't checked the Autopsy Report.." said Sofia.

"Oh you know he hasn't! How many times have we gone to trial and pulled up information he should have had and didn't have?  He found her prints and the gun in the waste basket belonging to her and he went running with it...Even though it is on record that she reported this gun stolen two weeks before."said Kahlil.

 

''We are going to talk to Erica, find out where she was, find out if she spent any money somewhere and has a record of it...see if we can find her car on a time stamped street or traffic cam footage...We've got to establish an alibi." said Ms. Yvette.

We knew she was right!

Ms. Jade was a world away, halfway across the city.....

Ms. Jade finished talking to Big Chicken... He told her that he had written a check for 50 large to Harold Charleston. better known on the street as Harry Chuckie...in exchange for work he was going to do for him...What "work" he never specified...But he said...Harry Chuckie returned the check to him...saying he didn't need it later on that same day....Thus Harry Chuckie was no longer on the hook for any money owed to him..."They were all square." he said.

Jade's next mission was to find Harold Charleston...

She got an UBER and traveled to his apartment complex in the Fairmont section...There was no response...His neighbors said he hadn't been seen in a few days.. (since the murder)  She decided to head back to the Bridge Building.

Unhinged Lt. Tragg had a man stationed at Erica's apartment complex...There was no sign of her or her car...

He next went back to our old building

and angrilly waited for us to show up...which of course we did not.... He was livid...

He went to the courthouse  and then...

He next showed up at Sam Mother's Diner , where some of his usual nemesis were known to dine from time to time, but not today!!!

He was furious!

"THEY ARE PURPOSELY AVOIDING ME!!!   AND WHERE HAVE THEY GOT THAT GIRL STASHED??" he fumed.

III-

Jade returned to the Bridge Building and reported her findings to us...

"I talked to Big Chicken...He told me  that he had written a check for 50 large to Harold Charleston. better known on the street as Harry Chuckie...in exchange for work he was going to do for him...What "work" he never specified...But he said...Harry Chuckie returned the check to him...saying he didn't need it later on that same day....Thus Harry Chuckie was no longer on the hook for any money owed to him...They were all square." he said.  I went to Harold Charleston's apartment in Fairmont..He wasn't there and no one has seen him in three days..."said Jade.

''Since the murder. Hmmmmm.and he hasn't tried to call or contact his poor girlfriend in all that time..He must know she's been arrested and charged with murder." said Yvette.
 

"I wonder if Lt. Tragg is looking into him?" I asked.

"You know he hasn't... You know he thinks he has an open and shut case."said Bee Bee.

"He's probably been up to our old office looking for us. no doubt. It's Thursday Night.. He probably expects us all to be at Curley's...It's couple's night."said Sofia.

"Only we won't be there...We are all going out somewhere Erica can go and have some peace.Can you imagine what would happen if we took her to Curleys?" asked Kahlil.

"Oh My God, None of us would have any peace...He'd stand over our tables all night pontificating." said Jade.

Karen told me, she Natalie, David and Brooke were in there one night and he stood over their table the entire time they were there.... Sean came and picked them up and he followed them for three blocks before pulling them over..Sean was driving and he hadn't had any drinks.. Brooke ,Natalie and David ,who had been driving were in the back seat.. Sharon was in the front.. He's a nuisence.." said Virginia.

"Well like Jade said.. He won't see us tonight...." said Ms. Yvette.

THURSDAY NIGHT-

Tonight we were all at a rooftop bar across town, far away from Curleys where we all could drink and relax in peace.. It wasn't Curley's , but it was good enough...

"This is sooo nice,,,you guys hang out like this every Thursday Night?" asked Erica.

''We try to...We usually go to Curleys for Couples Night...But we couldn't go in there with you...Lt. Tragg hangs out in there...He'd of made it impossible for you to enjoy yourself...In fact, you wouldn't have enjoyed yourself.. He'd of harrassed you, told you and us that you're guilty as sin, watched every drink you had and if you left in your car...He'd of followed you, trying to bust you for DUI..." said Yvette.

"Oh My God....He's a real head case... That's why Olivia's Bus Service transports you guys to and fro. huh?" said Erica.

"Exactly....and it's good in other ways...We can drink to our hearts desire and don't have to worry about driving impaired...The Buses come and pick everybody up and drops us off at our homes."said Gary.

 

''With us all living on the same street or in close proximity...it doesn't pose a problem." I said.

"And you staying at Olivia and Beverly's place keeps your whereabouts a secret." said Bee Bee.

"I wouldn't put it past him to follow the buses to their destination...Especially if he knew you were with us and saw you boarding the bus."said Sofia.

"Then he'd wind up knocking on Olivia and Beverly's door tomorrow demanding to talk to, interrogate you further."said Kahlil.

"Ouuuuuuuu can he do that?" asked Erica.

"Not legally, but that has never stopped him before."laughed Jade.

"He won't look at any other suspects or follow up on any other leads...It is why the Assistant District Attorneys hate to work with him..and the Senior ones just flat out refuse."said Jade's husband, Lt. Danny Ho.

"You're in good hands with us....See how we take care of you?" said Ms. Virginia, smiling.

"I know you've been in good hands all week with Olivia and Beverly."laughed Jetty.

"Oh I have...Her and Mr. Donnie Ray and Ms. Alfreda are excellent cooks...I'm going to have to use that gym in your building...I know I've put on a few pounds."laughed Erica, hugging Olivia.

 "There's a Gym and a Spa not far from where we live...We can take you there tomorrow morning after our litigation."said Olivia.

"We gave her the royal tour of our spot.. bot Olivia and Beverly's domiciles, our office, our law library and media room...Her mind was blown."laughed Donnie Ray...

"Tomorrow after our morning litigation , which should be over by noon...We'll take you to one of our three shopping malls, the one with the Gym and the Spa and the lingerie stores..."said Beverly.

"And there are several nice places to eat there too!" said Nelson.

"You'll have a ball and then we'll go to the NO ID BAR, Friday night...and again Saturday Morning for Brunch." said Josie.

"You're making out like a bandit Erica....Most of their clients are stashed away in a hotel while they await trial...They aren't entertained half as much as you have been." said Paris.

"You're cool people..We made the exception with you." said Bresha.

''And my man Tyrell too... He stayed with you during his trial...before he passed the bar." said Tony.

"Yes he did, didn't he?" said Alfreda.

"That bed could tell some stories." mused Rockland....

"The Drinks are a little higher than at Curleys...but you know what? There is no price tags on peace."said Jazzy.
 

"You've never lied about that honey bun." said Dabnis.

"I do miss two for two though." said Kayla.

"Yeah that was the main attraction to "Couples Night." said her husband Ray, laughing.

"Never the less, we've bought a lot of drinks tonight."laughed Jessica.

"Hey we deserve it ,after the week we've had." said Chip...

"I'll drink to that...That was one heck of a case we brought in....Glad we got the acquittal." said Karen Page.

"I can't wait to have you all on my show next week." said her boyfriend, B.L.

Natalie took her heels off and playfully played footsie with her husband, David, cracking up at the expression on his face...

"Am I turning you on?" she asked.

'Do you have to ask?" said David....

Brooke laughed...She couldn't stop laughing...She was already a little tipsy.....

She sat on husband, Sean's lap....He smiled gingerly....

"Ummmmm Brookie is white girl wasted...."laughed Zoey , who was comfortably tipsy herself..

"Looks like you are too!"laughed her husband, Lem..

Renee sat on her husband's lap...she leaned her head into his chest.....

Tyrell hugged her gently and squeezed her.....She smiled serenely. She was glad that ADA Bruce Greene wasn't here.  This was a very peaceful afternoon.

In addition to all of the drinks we ordered...They set out a nice appetizer tray and a tray of wings.

We all enjoyed ourselves immensely ....The light rain that began to fall didn't bother us at all..We all continued to laugh and talk and drink and enjoy the view of the city..

While a lifetime away....

Lt. Tragg sat angry and frustrated... We had not gone to Curleys that night...He had turned the city upside down in the past few days and hadn't found hide nor hair of Erica.

Assistant District Attorney Bruce Greene was there also....downing multiple beers....He had thought he'd get a glimpse of Renee, tonight being couples night....but to his surprise...Neither she nor the crowd she hangs out with was present tonight..

He sucked down brew after brew.....

A Light rainstorm began to pour......

IV-

FRIDAY MORNING-!

Harold Charleston...aka "Harry Chuckie" put his key into his apartment door.. He had been missing for close to a week, ever since the day of the murder...

He was packing an overnite bag... He was planning to leave again...when he heard his name called.

"Hello Harry" came the voice.

He was startled.. He turned around and saw... a beautiful Asian Lady, he did not know....It was Ms. Jade!!!

"Hello Harry, you know you have been a very hard person to find...How are you?" said Jade.

''Who are you? You a Cop?" asked Harry...

"I'm a Private Investigator." said Jade, showing him her Identification... "I work for the Attorneys who are defending your girlfriend, Erica of First degree Murder Charges. You are aware that she's been arrested and charged with the Murder of Michael Lewis aren't you?" said Jade.

"I heard and I heard you guys got her out the day after she was arrested." said Harry...

''We got her out the day she was arrested. We've been working on her defense... I can take you to her...She's in a safe place." said Jade.

"Yes, I would like to see her...I've missed her... I went to her apartment...I was stopped and questioned by the cops....There are two cop cars watching her apartment complex...I didn't know where she was..I left town...I was staying with some relatives in Newark.....I'm back now...I tried to call her..but my calls went to voicemail.." he said.

"I can take you to her...Do you want to see her?" said Jade.

"I'll follow you in my car." he said.  He looked tired, weary...

Jade took Harry Chuckie to the Sub-basement of Olivia and Beverly's suite where Erica was..

She was glad to see him....

"BABYYYYYY...I've missed you sooo much..." said Erica..

."I've missed you tooo...I couldn't get in contact with you....I'm so glad you are out of jail and have good legal counsel" said Harry Chuckie.

They kissed passionately....

Jade smiled and left....

FRIDAY NIGHT- 

We were all at The NO ID BAR , our Friday Night Hang Out....

"Heyyy Vettie, where is your client, Erica.?" asked Jazzy..

 ''She's with her man...Jade found him...and they are uh in Olivia's sub-basement, talking things over."said Yvette.

"Yeah I'm sure they are "talking about a lot." said Gary..

Both Bee Bee and I busted out laughing while drinking our drinks...and munching on Shrimp and Chicken...

"I'm Happy for Erica... I'm glad Jade reunited her with her man." said Sofia.

"That's all nice...but I wonder where he is on all this?  I mean , her gun was stolen...Who would be close enough to her to steal that gun?" asked Kahlil.

"That's good that you make that point Kahlil...I'm wondering about all of that too!"said Jade.

"I can run a make on him Monday, if you like." said her husband, Lt. Danny Ho.

"Well for now...let her enjoy being reunited with her man... She hasn't had any good loving since this all happened.. I know she was probably going up the wall." said Virginia..

"I know I would be." said Jetty...

"Oh I know you would be...Horn Dog!" laughed Virginia.

 Olivia cracked up laughing...

So Did Donnie Ray...

"Erica is with her mannnnn tonight...Perhaps they'll come out and have breakfast with us tomorrow morning."said Beverly...

"SHEEEET , They may still be doing it.." said Nelson.

Josie cracked up laughing...She spit her drink out..

Her husband Paris cracked up laughing too!

Bresha smiled.. "Stopppppppp, yall need to stoppp!" she said, also laughing...

Her husband, Tony laughed too!

Alfreda sat on her husband , Rockland's lap........

Rockland smiled and squeezed her tight....

''Pass me those chicken flats" said Jazzy.
 

"Here you go babes." said Dabnis.

"I'm so happy for Erica....She's free, she's safe and she's chilling with her man."said Kayla.

"Yeah...I guess that does beat , chilling and drinking with us...Who can blame her right now?" laughed her husband, Ray.

"I certain couldn't....If I hadn't seen you for a week or two weeks...I'd be climbing the walls papi." said Jessica..also sitting on her husband's lap...

"I've spoiled you baby...You went so long without anything...until I came along." laughed Chip...

They began kissing passionately...

''You know Lt. Tragg has seen your show this week, spotlighting our latest case." said Karen.

''Yeah and the fact that none of you have gone near Sam Mother's Diner or Curley's the past two weeks is driving him insane."laughed her husband, Talk show Host, Podcaster and also an Attorney, B.L. Benz.

''Beverly must have talked to them...They never had food in here on Friday Nights before..I know..Brooke and I used to come in here by ourselves...I love this." said Natalie.

"Does it bother you that all of us have kind of Hijacked your spot?" asked David.

"Oh Noooooooooo...We used to hate feeling so alone...We love it that all of us come in here now. And we didn't even know about their Saturday Morning Brunch.until we all started hanging out."said Brooke.

" I love the nights we all spend together in here." said her husband, Sean.

"Part of me would love to be a fly on the wall in Olivia's sub-basement."laughed Zoey....

"Newsy!"laughed her husband, Lem..

"That Bed in that Sub-basement could tell some stories huh husband?" said Renee.

"Yes lawdddddd... Our two weeks there alone would make a good x Rated movie."laughed her husband, Tyrell.

As more baskets of Fried Chicken,,,

and Shrimp...

and Beers

and drinks were served.

Tender was the night...

And at Olivia's Office/Duplex

in their sub-basement..

"Nice place you got here... I'm happy for you....You're safe and you got good lawyers defending you." said Harry Chuckie..

"I missed you soooo much..." said Erica.

They kissed passionately...

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!" moaned Erica..

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH BABY, MISSED YOU SOOOO MUCH!" he said in between hot smouldering kisses, while unbuttoning her blouse and unsnapping her bra.. and sucking her breasts..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU SHOW ME!" said Erica, wjose legs were shaking...

They both quietly undressed, both breathing heavily with desire...

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH GIRRRL" said  Harry Chuckie......as he slipped her panties down and off.

He lifted her up and entered her slowly and softly.....Erica gasped as he entered her...She hadn't had any sex in three weeks..She was good and Horny and this felt good...so good to her...

He bent her over the bed and entered her doggie style.. She had an intense orgasm, her body trembled

something fiercely...her head turned back and forth and she cried like a little girl....

"Ohhhhhhhhh Harry I love you." she whispered... He said nothing.

He put her on the dresser drawer, seperated her legs and entered her again......

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!" moaned Erica..

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH BABY, I MISSED YOU SOOOO MUCH!" he said.

"I MISSED YOU TOO!" she cried out.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU" she cooed as she rode him like a surfer rides the waves on the side of the bed..

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW LAWWD!" howled

Harry....

Erica stared lovingly in Harry's eyes and smiled as she kissed him slowly and softly....

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM BABYYYYYYY!"moaned Harry Chuckie..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU HARRRRRY!" cooed Erica, as they did it doggie style on the bed.....

Harry  didn't seem like he wanted to stop...

Harry opened Erica's legs and entered her missionary style..

She had an intense orgasm, her body trembled

something fiercely...her head turned back and forth and she cried like a little girl....

"Ohhhhhhhhh Harry I love you." she whispered... Again ,He said nothing.Her just looked at her and smiled.

He humped her over the bed....

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM BABY THIS WAS ALL I THOUGHT ABOUT FOR WEEKS!" he said..

They made sweet sweet love for TEN TO ELEVEN HOURS......They were still making love by the time all of us arrived home from the bar at 2:30 in the morning..

She lie on top of Harry's sweaty body, thoroughly satisfied... They both drifted off into a very peaceful sleep. At least Erica  did!

HOURS LATER- MORNING!!

Erica woke up... She was in bed alone!   She checked the shower....It was hot...and wet...It had been used.. There was no trace of Harry... She checked the door that led into the street, it was closed but unlocked.. Harry had left!
