Extra Curricular Activities

 MONDAY MORNING-

We were meeting with Attorney Kevin Powel of  Wood, Bailey ,Powell and Barnett

"He was arrested early Friday Morning by Lt. Tragg and his storm troopers...He's been accused of the murders of his socialite wife, Delilah Barnett and one of our partners, Vernon Bailey.. Both were found in the nude on the floor of a honeymoon suite...It's quite obvious they were in the middle of sexual intercourse when they were shot to death....Vance Barnett did not do this..He had no idea his wife had been having an affair with Vernon Bailey. He's perfectly innocent...plus they were killed early in he morning...I believe that same day he showed up for court and presided over that case you and your associates were trying didn't he?' asked Kevin Powell. 

"Yes he did. you sound like you're pleading his case already...You ever consider representing him?" joked Olivia..

 

"Oh I'm not a criminal defense attorney...I've been in a courtroom very few times..You guys are more adept at that...Which is why I suppose he asked for you..He just watched you guys obliterate Bruce Greene, who doesn't lose too often...and he was quite impressed...plus he said he worked with you Olivia at Bach and Roach....He said you were a very good trial attorney and never lost a case while you were there..He speaks highly of you...... There are thingss you should know that I should tell you.. He wanted really badly to join our law firm...but he didn't want to come in as an associate like most attorneys do...He wanted to be a partner...a name partner."said Kevin Powell.

"Really, who does that?" I asked.

"Nobody does...unless you have an in, a connection of you do somebody a favor." said Beverly..

"You mean like a financial favor, a donation?" asked Nelson...

"You might say that... Our firm is very prestigious...We have offices in New York, Chicago and Los Angelas and Atlanta....We have Managing Partners there...but not NAME Partners... Judge Barnett is very ambitious...I should tell you that our now late partner, Vernon Bailey, never liked him personally ever and the feeling was mutual...but he has liked his wife, Delilah for years...YEARS...He was really upset when Delilah married him after divorcing her first husband... He had been waiting  in the wings, hoping he was next in line...Only she married  Vance Barnett....He was heartbroken, livid and then one day Delilah came calling...she wanted her husband, not only in our firm, but a name partner..."said Kevin Powell.

"That's a lot to ask..."said Josie.

"How did you and the other partners feel about that?" asked Bresha.

"We liked Vance Barnett enough...We thought him wanting to join our firm and come in as a partner was a bit much....but one day ,of all people, Vernon Bailey came in and sold us on it... We were astonished...We knew of the age old animosity the two of them had for each other...but he told us, they had had drinks, talked and settled their differences and so it was all set up... Vance would be coming in as a partner..." said Kevin Powell...

"Like my neice said...in order to get that kind of position he had to have an "In"  was that "In" access to his wife's panties?" asked Olivia.

"Exactly, only he never knew about that...Delilah is wealthy...She's a socialite ..She's a mover and a shaker...Her husband was a very good attorney....He suddenly got the votes he needed to become a Judge...He never understood how these things work...She slept with two very highly placed members of the State Trustees Board..which made his nomination AND some say his election to the bench, a shoe in....and then this..he becoming a name partner of a prestigious law firm...well, she was sleeping with Vaernon Bailey and had been for some time...He never knew what she did to help him move along...She loved his ambition, but she knew he'd need a little extra push to get there." said Kevin Powell..

''And She provided that extra push." said Olivia, smiling.

"The Power Of The Pan-tays." said Beverly, smiling.

''And he had no knowledge of her extra-curricular activities?" I asked.

"He didn't have a clue." said Attorney Powell.

"But you know....How is it you knew?" asked Nelson.

"Because I looked into it... I'm not of the habit of just accepting anything, especially when things don't add up...I discovered that Vernon paid for and was keeping a love nest in a downtown hotel and that he and Delilah had been secretly meeting there for months....That other stuff about how he got his judge ship is just talk that's been floating around...Everybody knew that Delilah was loose with her body...

''Yeah I suppose."said Beverly.

'The Husband is always the last to know about extra -curricular activities." sighed Josie..

 

Bresha, Olivia and I, Beverly and Nelson all cracked up laughing..

''Will you take his case? We can pay his fees." said Kevin Powell.

"Of course...We'll set up arraignment as soon as possible." said Olivia.  "Bev, Josie, Bree, get me charactor witnesses...as many as possible.. Nelson, call our Bail Bondsman.."said Olivia...

"We are on it Auntay." said Beverly...

As she and Josie and Bresha began making phone calls..

"On it Liv." said Nelson...

"Thank you Olivia.... Vance said you had a very efficient operation here.. I see that you do."said Kevin Powell.

"You're welcome...He's been locked up since Friday....It's Monday...We'll see what we can do."said Olivia.

"Thank you again... I'll see my way out." said Kevin Powell.

"No rest for the weary....huh?  We are up and at it again." I said.

II-

TUESDAY- 

Bresha brought us coffees....

"Thank you baby!" said Olivia grabbing a coffee and passing cups to me, Beverly, Josie and Nelson..

"You find out anything?" she asked me.

"Yeah, I did a little digging...Everything Mr. Powell told us checked out... Mrs. Barnett was very very busy the past few years... Affairs with two very influential Judges , two members of the State Trustee's board and eventually, Vernon Bailey, who had been trying to get next to her for years..Did you know Bailey had a wife?  Powell didn't mention that...Bailey was married all this time. His wife wouldn't talk to me..She's in seclusion naturally....People close to her say they had no idea or inclination that Vernon was unfaithful until this happened." I said.

"Nothing like a double murder, with your husband and another woman nude in a hotel room you knew nothing about to shed light on your husband's extra-curricular activities." said Beverly...

Josie cracked up laughing.....

So did Nelson and then he said.. "Head s up guys.."

"What the hell? What are you guys doing here? Don't tell me you've got this case?" said Lt. Tragg.

"Okay, we won't tell you....Now Go Away!" said Beverly as she sipped her coffee..

"OLIVIA, HOW DID YOU GET THIS CASE?? HE HAD A LAWYER!!!" bellowed Lt. Tragg..

"Oh you mean Mr. Powell? That was an Attorney from the firm he recently joined... He asked for us.."said Olivia.

"I don't care what case it is....Any case with a hint of controversy, you guys attach yourselves to it...I don't believe it..." he snarled.

"If you say so....Now please go away..." said Olivia, as we all continued to sip our coffees and said no more around him..

He stood there staring balefully at us....

COURTROOM A-

We ironically enough were in courtroom A, the same courtroom we had tried our last case in just a week before..

The ADA was someone we hadn't seen or been up against in a long time.. James "Jumpshot  Jim" Taylor.

He had taken a leave of absence for awhile.. Had returned awhile ago and put together 25 straight wins since his return...He was on a roll. when he was informed we were on this case...He put together a team of his own...

 ADA Chris Garcetti, the son of his boss, the District Attorney

And Investigator, Inger Stevenson, like most investigators for the D.A.'s office, a former detective and a pretty good investigator..

Lt. Tragg was delighted to sit down next to her..

"VA VA VA VOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!" he said to himself, practically salivating, staring at her huge breasts and marveling at her tight knit mini skirt which accentuating her every curve....

Judge Vance Barnett, whose court  we had just tried a case in, was now our client...

Olivia and I, Beverly and Nelson, Josie and Bresha sat at the table with him... He was still in handcuffs and leg shackles. He had on the same suit he had worn last week at trial...He looked worn and tired.

 

We waited for the judge to come in....

The Judge was someone we were familliar with, Judge Micheal King...He was tough, but fair...We could work with him...

"Jumpshot Jim" Taylor argued that the defendent, Judge Vance Barnett was accused of killing two people, his wife, Delilah Barnett, a popular and wealthy socialite and her alleged lover, and his future law partner, Vernon Bailey... He said the two were shot and killed execution style in col blood ,in the nude while engaging in sexual intercourse on the floor.. "In fact your honor Mr. Bailey was still inside of her at the time he expired.." He said.  A Lurid fact that no one needed to know.

In Fact Judge King looked at him funny after he said it...and then shook his head in exasperation...

"Jumpshot Jim argued that because of the severity of this crime...Judge Barnett should be held without bail until trial "to keep the public safe from him."

Olivia and her niece, Beverly argued that the Judge was an officer of the court, a law abiding citizen with no prior arrests and no reported or otherwise penchants for violence and that we were arguing the assumption of innocence...

Nelson, Josie and Bresha each presented 5 charactor witnesses a piece to argue the judges good charactor...They were from the legal world, the political world and the business world..

That was enough for Judge King... He set bail at a quarter of a million dollars , which we thought was unfairly high...

But Kevin Powell posted half of ten percent of the bail..

Our Bail Bondsman posted the rest of the bond...

And Judge Barnett walked out of court, a free man...

"Thank you Olivia, Beverly, guys, thank you so much..." said Judge Barnett. 

"Come On...We are going to get out of here quickly through the side door..We know you're tired and we know you're hungry..We are going to stop by your house and you are going to pack an over night bag...Then you are going to follow us in your car.We'll explain later." said Olivia.

 

"Yes just follow us." I said.

"Much as I want to...I know we can't eat at Sam Mother's diner today."said Beverly..

"You got that right."said her husband, Nelson..

"Let's get to the car." said Josie as we rushed out through the side door.

"Yeah ,the quicker we get out of here the better." said Bresha.

I had parked the Car in the alley behind the courthouse and just like I thought, Lt. Tragg had placed 5 GPS Units on the car...He was a little more clever this time, but I found them all...

I placed all five of them on another car....a random car...and we all pulled off...

We drove to his house , he packed an overnight bag and got in his car..

We found two GPS tracking devices in his  car...  I tossed them both in the trash a few blocks from the judges house.

We drove to the Bridge Building to be with our friends... We were just in time for lunch..

We all got in line and grabbed our meals..

"Heyyy Olivia, Donnie Ray, Beverly, Nelson, Josie and Bresha.." said Jazzy.
 

"Heyyyyyyyy guys welcome! " said Dabnis.

''Hey Cousin Liv, Hey Cousin Bev, Donnie Ray, Nelson, Josie and Bresha." said Kayla.

"Family.what's up?" said her husband, Ray.

"Hola Neighbors." said Jessica.

"Hey guys!" said her husband Chip as they took their seats..

"Back at it again huh? You guys stay busy." said Karen, smiling.

"That's what keeps the lights on and the water running." laughed Natalie.

"I couldn't have said that better myself." laughed her husband, David.

"Hi Liv, Beverly, guys." said Brooke.

"I heard you guys picked up a new case.."said Sean.

"Hello Judge Barnett." said Zoey, who had also practiced in his court recently...

''Heyy Guys, Judge Barnett!" said Lem.

"Hi Liv...Bev I may be over to have you do my hair the night after tomorrow if you can." said Renee.

"Oh yeah, come on over...I'll be available." said Beverly..

"Hey Guys." said Renee's  husband, Tyrell

"I see you have a lot of friends here in this building and it's just far enough from downtown to give you guys cover and comfortability." said Judge Barnett. 

"Can you believe that all of these people live on our block too? You're right, it is where we feel the most comfortable.."said Olivia. "Vettie can we use your conference room after we eat?" asked Olivia.

"Liv...you're my sister....I can't say no to you." said Yvette, hugging Olivia.

 

"You're Honor, we are going upstairs to Ms. Yvette's suite and get you set up after we eat,okay?" I said.

"Thank you.....you guys have been so kind...I won't forget it....This food is good " said Judge Barnett.

"It is good food, and we know you were hungry..." said Beverly...

"The Hotel we are going to set you up in , is walking distance from here.."said Nelson.

"You'll sign in using your real name...you'll park your car in the indoor parking lot and you'll keep a low profile explained Josie as she ate her food , while sitting on her husband's lap.

Paris smiled.. Judge Barnett had lectured him at Middleton Law school recently...

"Hello Paris....You and I both are getting an education in law today aren't we?" joked Judge Barnett.

"Don't worry your honor...we are going to get you out of this."said Bresha.

"From my wife's mouth to God's lips."laughed Tony, another one of the Judge's former students. 

 "As soon as you guys finish eating, we'll go upstairs and get our conference room ready for Liv and her people." said Yvette.

"I think we got all of our files out of there Ms. Yvette." said Keith Jones.

"And Sofia and I already put all of the law books back."said Bee Bee.

''We did..It's ready now.." said Sofia.

"Aren't we efficient?" joked Kahlil.

"Yes you are."joked Ms. Yvette..

"Mmmmm, I'm ready to go back to my office anyway."said Ms. Jade.

"And take a cat nap." joked Ms. Virginia...

"At least they don't have that jackass , Lt. Tragg breathing down his back.." said Jetty.

III-

Judge Barnett marveled at the building we were in....

"This is a great building Olivia...I know you have everything in house at your establishment...but this is a great alternative." he said.

"It is... It's nice we have so many friends in this building...."said Olivia, smiling..

"This is a Portal...This way, you can stay in your room and we can give you day to day updates on your case.." said Beverly.

"This is a burner phone , from here on out...You will not contact us by our business phone or our personal phones...You will call this number and this number only...write it down and memorize it.. This is how you'll communicate to us..." said Nelson.

"You'll keep a low profile and communicate with only us." said Josie..

'Wow , you guys don't take any chances.."laughed Judge Barnett.

"That's why we win cases.." said Bresha, smiling at her one time teacher...

"You can follow me to the hotel....There you can get a hot shower and they serve hot meals in the lobby at night.." I said.

"Thank you, thank you very much!" said a very contrite Judge Barnett.

Judge Barnett followed  Nelson and I to the Hotel, which was walking distance from the Bridge Building.

From there ,the six of us drove home...

From there...The six of us drove home..

A few hours later at an East Oak Lane Apartment complex...

"Thank you for coming over Kevin, you have always been so supportive of me.. I wouldn't  have known that cheating son of a bitch, husband of mine, Vernon of me was sleeping with that poor Judges's wife.. The poor man didn't even know it...He was as in the dark as I was..,. Vernon is a pig....I haven't even gone to claim the body yet...." said the wife of the slain Vernon Bailey, Lena Bailey....

"Vernon took too many liberties with the firm....I would have hoped he would have stopped." said Kevin Powell..

As they killed a bottle of Tequilla.

"Do you think the Judge killed his wife and Vernon?" she asked.

''No I don't...I know him....He didn't have it in him. He got himself some really good lawyers...He'll be alright." said Kevin...

"No, I don't think he did it either..Good for him..." said  Lena Bailey... She spied Kevin starring at her breasts the entire night..

She leaned over and kissed him for a long time...

"I'm not wearing a bra...." she whispered..

"I-I noticed." he said..

"I know you did, you've been staring at my breasts all night.." she said and laughed..

"How bout panties?" he asked.

"I never go commando...of course I'm wearing panties....you can take them off yourself.." she whispered..

He slipped her panties off...

"Ohhhhh my....." he said..

"Ohhhhhhhhh myyyyyyyy Mister Powell...." she said.

They sat on the couch....She eased herself down on his waiting penis..and moved up and down as slow as possible, savoring every minute....She began to have a quick almost embarrassing orgasm, her head moving from side to side, her body trembling something fierce and tears streaming down her face..

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!! UMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!  OUUUUUUUUU YOU'RE SO BIG AND HARD...OUUUUUUUU MR POWELL....." she moaned..

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH LENA!" he moaned.

"I'VE SEEN YOU LOOKING AT ME FROM TIME TO TIME....I'VE KNOWN YOU WANTED IT!!OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU AND NOW YOU'RE GETTTING IT!!! OHHHHHHHH MYYY GODDDDDD! OUUUUUU YOU ARE SOOOO DAMN BIG....OUUUUU MY GOODNESS,

"NO I'M ....OH LORD.....I'M SINGLE!" he moaned.

"WELL YOU SHOULD HAVE A WOMAN.....ALL THIS YOU GOT IN YOUR PANTS....SOME LUCKY WOMAN SHOULD BE ENJOYING THIS......MYYYY WORD!!"

"SWEET BABYYYY!" he moaned as he turned her around, spread her legs and entered her doggie style..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU THAT FEEELS GOOOOD!" she cried out.. Her body continuing to tremble....her left foot just shaking....her arms extending and her head turning from side to side..

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW LAWWWWWWWWD!" he cried out....

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she moaned..."OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!! UMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!  OUUUUUUUUU YOU'RE SO BIG AND HARD...OUUUUUUUU MR POWELL....." she moaned..

He soon had her on the floor, humping away.....

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" she howled..

They continued kissing and walked up the stairs to her bedroom...

They got in the bed and  got down to business immediately....He flipped her over and slowly entered her...

"WOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she cried out with wild abandon....

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU THAT FEEELS  SOOOOOOOO DAMN GOOOOD!" she cried out.. Her body continuing to tremble....her left foot just shaking....her arms extending and her head turning from side to side..

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW LAWWWWWWWWD!" he cried out....

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she moaned...

They made sweet love for the next EIGHT TO NINE HOURS!!  She needed sex badly tonight...

"SWEET BABYYYY!" he moaned....

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU THAT FEEELS GOOOOD! SO DAMN GOOOD! OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU....YOU INSIDE OF MEEEEE!" she cried out.. Her body continuing to tremble....her left foot just shaking....her arms extending and her head turning from side to side..

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW LAWWWWWWWWD!" he cried out....

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she moaned..."OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!! UMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!  OUUUUUUUUU YOU'RE SO BIG AND HARD...OUUUUUUUU MR POWELL.....OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU  I'm ABOUT TO CUM...OHHHHH" she moaned..

"AWWWWWWWW LAWWWD!" he cried out.....

The bed was squeaking so hard....the headboard cracked and all four legs broke and they both crashed to the floor..

She laughed long and hard........

"I'm so sorry." he said astonished by what had just happened..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUU HOOOOOO HOOOOO HOOOOOOO, my lawd!" she said.. "Don't worry about it...I was going to buy a new bed anyhow....I needed this ...wouuuuuuuuuuuuuu Mr. Powell." she laughed....

IV-

That afternoon at home..

"We have to establish an alibi.." said Beverly.

"He says he was at home preparing to go to work...That work being the very trial in which we were waiting for a verdict." said Olivia.

"He had to be upset that his wife wasn't home all night..I know I would be." said Nelson..

"Yeah, I wasn't paying much attention to his mood that day, but he seemed pretty chipper for a man whose wife had to have been out all night.." I said.

"Maybe they had an open marriage." said Alfreda.

"That's a question..we'll ask him.." said Josie, writing it down on a tablet...

"Maybe that lawyer Kevin Powell can tell us.. He's told us so much already." said Bresha.

"That's a thought... Did he leave us a number or a business card.?" asked Olivia.

"He did not." said Beverly.

"That's okay...I can get his information.." I said.

The Suburb of Bayside in their holding facility known as "The cooler"

Lt. Tragg sat in one of the holding cells , steaming mad... He had followed the signals on his GPS tracking devices to a car that belonged to a young woman who had been at court.. She saw him lurking around and she called the Bayside police who arrested him, charging him with being a "peeping tom."The Officers apparently didn't know who he was..

It would be straightened out soon...and he'd be released , but the embarrassment he felt and the snickering heard behind his back was enough to send him into orbit!!
