VENTURES: A Fitting Frame

A DAY LATER-

We were in our conference room, having a meeting-

"Here's what I found out... Ms. Cora Townsend never married , she filled out two birth certificates for Cynda...On one she doesn't name a father....but on the second one she does name the father as Jeremiah Jefferson..... Both of his parents ae now deceased... But it is true... Mrs. Jefferson, his mother paid for Cora's first apartment building and I found cancelled checks written on her bank account for the rent and for pre-natal and post natal care and for the baby's upkeep running for close to 18 years...

There are partial tuition checks for Howard University and Howard University Law School...The rest of her education was paid for by loans and grants...It wasn't much....After Cynda passed the bar, there was one more check from the mother and that was it." said Jade.

"Looks Like Cynda was on the up....No woman would shell out that kind of money for that long for someone who wasn't their flesh and blood." I said.

"This was her grand-daughter.."said Bee Bee.

"Cora worked for them as a live in maid, faithfully for years...His Mother and Father looked at her as family...." said Sofia.

Their dumb ass son was coming home for Spring Break and Christmas Break and sneaking into her bedroom and forcing himself on her for years and she never said anything until she turned up pregnant and then the big coward didn't say anything...practically denied it."said Kahlil.

"He already had enough problems... His cheerleader girlfriend was pregnant too...Right around the same time.."said Yvette.

"Nasty Dog!" said Ms. Virginia....

"So what happened there?" asked Bee Bee.

"She was forced to drop out of school...She lived there with the Jefferson's sleeping in Cora's old room..Cora had moved out by now.. She gave birth to her baby, Jeremiah Jr. just three days after Cora delivered Cynda...

Jeremiah and his college girlfriend were married and she lived with them until he finished Wharton Business school and got established.. They then moved into a nice property of their own and for awhile, all was good..The family had avoided a scandal..Their rich friends didn't know about their secret Black Grandchild..

Their Marriage lasted about 14 years....Then they divorced...Jeremiah continued to support his son...though not even acknowledging his daughter...His son went to college and then to law school as well and passed the bar...While his dad built a business empire her in Philadelphia and traveled the world...He never married again but had a string of girlfriends and paid for a string of abortions around the country..." said Jade.

"Ouuuuu he has been messy."said Sofia.

"I'll say." said Bee Bee.

"Haven't heard from Mr. Jefferson...I was really pissed that he didn't show up for DNA testing yesterday." said Yvette.

"You think he got old feet? Chickened out?" I asked.

"I don't know....That son of his wasn't too thrilled about the whole thing..."said Yvette.

"I know...maybe he convinced him not to go through with it." said Kahlil.

"He could have at least called.. Have you heard from Cynda?" asked Virginia.

"No, I haven't...Come on...let's go to lunch people!" said Yvette.

Down in our cafeteria, the other attorneys we share this building with as well as our neighborhood were already there, in line getting their food..

"Ummm everything smells so good and tasty." said Jazzy,..

"It always does."laughed her husband, Dabnis.

"I've got to run down to the courthouse...I've got a brief to file."said Kayla.

"I do too..We can go together....We need some para-legals....They usually do all of the leg work."said her husband, Ray.

"Ironically enough...When we worked at the Public Defender's Office, We had Par-legals..."said Jessica.

"Yeah, I remember." said Chip..

"When I was an Assistant District Attorney , we had Para-legals and law clerks that did our leg work for us." said Karen..

"Well you get a chance to get out of this building and spread your legs a bit."said her husband, B.L.

who was eating with us today....

"Brooke, look who's in here today...Your boyfriend." said Natalie.

"Your Stalker."laughed David..

"Oh My God, Judge Wilson....Let's give him something to look at." said Brooke.

"Yeah.." said Sean...

Brooke leaned over and kissed Sean slowly and softly....

Their kissing got even more passionate...

Judge James Wilson, angrilly turned his head.. He couldn't bare to see Brooke and Sean kissing.

"Wow they are giving him and eye full."laughed Zoey...

"I know that's burning him up."said Lem.

"Why is he here anyway?" asked Renee.

"Maybe he's been brought up on charges again." said her husband, Tyrell.

Paris laughed....

So did Tony..

Judge James Wilson was amazed at all of the lawyers who hung together and who happened to work in this building.. He was even more surprised at the next round of people who arrived in the cafeteria.

Yvette Jones Lockwood, the brash young attorney who had defied him a week ago also worked in this building...She arrived with her entire crew of young attorneys and investigator.

"Oh look who is here...Judge Wilson." said Yvette snidely.

"He's giving me stalker vibes." I said.

"I don't think he's here because of us...I don't think he knew we even worked here until today."said Bee Bee.

"He's here for Brooke..." said Sofia.

"Imagine how Sean must feel, knowing this man has a thing for his wife...He's not even trying to hide it."said Kahlil.

'Well the way they are making out over there.. I don't think he cares.." laughed Jade.

"I think he gets the message."laughed Virginia.

"Yup...He got it alright."said Jetty....

Judge Wilson finished his food and quietly got up and left the cafeteria and the building...He hadn't expected to see Brooke's husband , who he knew worked in the Federal Building, eating here today or so many of the attorneys he had seen with Olivia and Beverly aty Curleys, all working here..

"They work in the same building, they live on the same street...My goodness..." he exclaimed as he left..

Meanwhile back in the cafeteria..

"It's a text from Cynda.. She's been arrested , charged with murder!!" said Yvette....

The four of us looked on in shock..

"The Murder of Jeremiah Jefferson Sr.!!!" said Ms. Yvette.

II-

Cynda Townsend, Attorney and now a Murder Suspect sat quietly....she had texted her legal counsel and did not have to say another word.

Lt. Tragg hated arresting people who actually knew the law and understood their right to remain silent..

"Look , you were seen leaving his house right before he was killed. We found this..

The already tested murder weapon with an illegal silencer I might add in a dumpster , behind your apartment complex...We got you cold baby! " said Lt. Tragg.

Cynda finally broke her silence. She laughed..

"So I'm going to kill somebody, walk out of his house...the front door in plain sight of his neighbors and drop the murder weapon in a dumpster ,behind my apartment complex for you guys to find....How stupid do you think I am? I'm a lawyer....I know about evidence...My God man...Can't you see this is a frame? And Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ...youuuuuuuuuu, this place stinks...It smells like Fish and sweaty armpits...wouuuuuuuuuuuuuuu and it's hot, how do you stand it in here...my goddd!" she said...

"Don't you worry about the smell of this room...right now, you should be worried about your life...Your future...and let me tell you...right now, it's lookin kind of dim." said Lt. Tragg.

"I wouldn't say that." said Yvette smiling..

"Ms. Yvette, you got my text...You came..Thank you." said Cynda...

"Awwwww Geeez!" said a frustrated Lt. Tragg.

"Hey Man, you guys ever think of investing in some air freshener? Wouuuuuuuuu!" I said.

"This room stinks and it's hot."said Bee Bee.

"It smells like Fish and sweaty armpits in here...peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...youuuuuuu!"said Sofia.

"My God...I'm about to pass out...I might confess to a crime ,just so I could get taken out of here....damn!" said Kahlil..

"All of this made Ms. Jade break out into loud laughter..

"You find something funny?" snarled Lt. Tragg.

"YESSS!! YESSSS!"laughed Ms. Jade.

"Nothing Funny about the smell of this room...My God!"said Bee Bee.

''Aye Mios Dios" said Sofia.

"Alright...Alright...Alright....Guys, empty these trash cans and put new liners in em and after they all leave. Mop these floors...Hot water and Pine sol and get some air fresheners in here.. Ruhn the damn fans..." snarled Lt. Tragg, leaving the room without having to be asked.

Cynda cracked up laughing...Then she got serious..

"Yvette, they are accusing me of murder....of murdering Jeremiah Jefferson....I didn't do it! I was there a few night ago, for about a half hour, talking to him...We had a nice talk, then I left...Somebody put the gun, the murder weapon in a dumpster behind my building..Come on.." said Cynda.

"How neatly the frame fits." smirked Yvette.

"Very neat, very tight." I said.

"Wanna Bet Lt. Tragg got an anonymous tip as to where the gun was.?" said Bee Bee/.

"Of course he did..He's not smart enough to look there himself." said Sofia.

''At Any rate we've got our work cut out for us." said Kahlil.

"I know I do."said Jade.

Yvette whispered to her.. "It's Wednesday Night...We are going to try to get you arraigned for a night court appearance tomorrow night..."said Yvette.

"Tomorrow night? So Soon?" said Cynda.

"Yes..Now don't say anything to anybody, No Cops, No inmates, No guards...You're an Attorney, you know this...Just sit tight and hopefully we can get you out of here."said Yvette.

"Give us a list of charactor witnesses..." I said.

Cynda began writing down names..

"We need names ,phone numbers, addresses and email information if you have it.." said Sofia.

"We need time for Ms. Jade to vet them all." said Bee Bee.

"You guys are an efficient little machine." laughed Cynda.

"That's why and how we win cases..."said Kahlil...

Yvette looked on like a proud mother.

Meanwhile back at the Bridge Building..

In our office...

"Jetty, we are going to get caught one of these days...They are going to get back early..."cautioned

Virginia.

"They're going to be at Central Booking at least an hour and a half.. They went on Public Transportation....Come on now..."

"You are such a lawyer...." laughed Virginia..

As they began to kiss slowly and softly...

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm girl I've got a boner for you that just won't quit...it rages." he said.

"Stop talking so nasty to me..." she giggled.

Their kissing got hotter ,more passionate...

"Jetty....Jetttty you're getting too excited.." she said.

He opened her blouse..

"Ugh Ugh...you're going too far..." she said..

He hiked her skirt up and slipped her panties down..

"I'm not going far enough.." he said..

He dropped his trousers and boxers...lifted her up and entered her...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU JETTTTTY!!! OUUUUUUU!" she screamed..

She was glad she had locked the door when he came in and dimmed the lights in the front.

Jetty was going berserk, thrusting inside of her..

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWW...OHHHHHHHHHHHH..AWWWWWW LAWWWD!"he moaned for an HOUR! until he came with wild abandon...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU YOU'RE A BEAST!" she exclaimed..her head turning from side to side and both of her legs trembling...

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!" he moaned..

Virginia pulled her panties back up....Fixed her bra..Fixed her skirt and her blouse...

"You Nasty Dog!" she said and laughed...

"Look at that, we are finished and with time to spare." he laughed..

She took a disinfectant wipe and wiped her lipstick off of his face and his lapel...

"Go Back to work.." she said.. Her left leg was still shaking....

III-

THURSDAY- A NIGHT LATER-

NIGHT COURT-

In Philadelphia, Night Court only operates two nights a week....Tuesday and Thursday, Tonight was Thursday...and fortunately...We got an arraignment date of 8:00 pm.

The Judge in this case would not be the Judge in the actual case....

Lt. Tragg was not there... Night court was too low profile for him...No witnesses...No media..and a bunch of Judges and ADA's who were mostly older Judges and ADA's about to retire...It was lightweight. It was in session from 7:00 pm- 10:00 pm Tuesdays and Thursdays...We were quite fortunate to get a date.

The ADA that did show up was not going to be the ADA that tried the case...He had only the basic out line of the case at hand... He basically wanted to go home...So he didn't really put up much of a fight.

We arrived on time with Cynda....

"Hopefully we get you out of here tonight." said Yvette.

"I never knew there was such a thing as court at night." said Cynda.

"It meets two nights a week...Tuesday and Thursday..."I said.

"We were very fortunate to get an appointment this week and this short of notice." said Bee Bee.

"Our charactor witnesses are here." said Sofia.

''Well it's showtime...let's go."said Kahalil.

"Good Luck" said Jade , who sat in the visitor's section..

We presented 25 charactor witnesses... That and the fact that Cynda Townsend was an attorney, an officer of the court with no priors whatsoever and such a good name in the community convinced the judge that she was no flight risk... She was released on her own recognizance...

"I don't believe it...You guys got me out...and within 24 hours...You're the truth...I was mentally prepared to stay locked up for days." said Cynda, ecstatic at being out.

She agreed to share an Uber with us... We headed to Curleys to join our friends....

We went to Curleys....

"Cynda, this is Curley's and this is my husband, Gary...he's an investigator for the D.A.'s Office." said Yvette.

"Ooooou this is a nice bar...Hi Gary." said Cynda.

"Hi Cynda."said Gary..

" We just got out of Night Court." I said.

"Yeah, we were lucky to be the first case up tonight."said Bee Bee.

"Yeah, we were in and out."said Sofia.

"Like Clockwork."said Kahlil.

"Nice Night."said Jade.

"Glad you guys arrived...I don't know how much longer we could have saved these seats ."said Danny.,

"Hi Guys."said Virginia.

Her husband Jetty smiled, looking at her lustfully...

"Heyyyy look who's here, Vettie and client and staff." said Olivia.

"Sit down, have some drinks." said Donnie Ray...

"Good Old Dependable Night Court.."laughed Beverly..

"We weren't so lucky last time..We didn't have Night court."said Nelson.

"That's because another lawyer handled the arraignment." said Josie.

"You guys should have been in control, calling all of the shots from the beginning."said Paris.

"Well yeah, but in the end, it all turned out for the good, we got her off."said Bresha.

"Yeah you did!" said her husband, Tony...

"This week we can relax a little."said Alfreda...

"Until the next trial."laughed her husband, Rockland..

as more drinks arrived.

"Cynda...Cynda Townsend? Heyyy Girl, how are you?" said Jazzy..

"Jasmine? Jasmine Jenkins Ouuuuuu girl it's been awhile.."said Cynda hugging Jazzy..

"It's Coley now...I'm married...This is my husband, Dabnis Coley, Esquire." said Jazzy...

"Cynda and I worked on opposite sides of a negotiation about three years ago, but we became friends afterwords and went shoe shopping even." gushed Jazzy..

"That explains a lot...Nice to meet you..."said Dabnis..

"And I remember you, Kayla...You were Jasmine's partner on that neghotiation.."said Cynda.

"Yes...I remember you." said Kayla. "How are you doing?" she asked.

"I've been better...I was arrested yesterday and charged with murder...Yvette and her staff are defending me...They just got me arraigned and released through Night Court."said Cynda.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh Night Court."laughed Ray....

"Cynda this is my husband, Ray St. Jacques, Esquire.

"Pleased to meet you. Ummmmmmmmmm yall got husbands...I gotta get me one of those." said Cynda.

"Honey pass me another Mojito please." said Jessica..

"Sure," said Chip....

"Nice Night huh?" said Karen...

"Yeah real mellow.."said her husband, B.L.

"I've got a slight buzz." said Natalie..

"Yeah me too...from those fruit punches.." said David.

"Me too, it's from the Vodka...You can't smell it...It creeps up on you."said Brooke.

"Yeah how about that?"said her husband Sean...

"I'm sticking with beer tonight." said Zoey.

"They should be bringing another round." said Lem.

"Here they come now."said Renee.

"Uh Oh...Here comes trouble." said Tyrell..

It had been a long time since Lt. Tragg had hassled us..He usually was too busy with Judge Kelly Ann..but tonight he stopped by the area we were sitting in...The reason was because Cynda Townsend , who he'd just arrested yesterday was not only out, but drinking with us.

"I don't believe it! You guys got her out...A Killer. And she's out on the streets"

"Innocent until proven guilty :Lieutenant...You know that!" said Yvette.

"Yeah, says You!" he said and walked away... No speech about you high fallutin lawyers better not be drinking and driving tonight...He knew better by now.

Kelly Ann was on the other side of the bar, trying to get away from Judge James Wilson..

who was talking her ears off tonight about him possibly becoming a Federal Judge and from their maybe a seat on the Supreme Court..

She was perhaps the only one in Curley's Bar glad to see Lt. Tragg tonight.

"Liv, can Cynda stay with you guys in your Sub-Basement Apartment for a few days?" asked Yvette.

"Of course she can..I'll have the bus stop by her place and she can pack a few things and she can stay as long as you need her too." said Olivia.

"Thank you guys...All of you..For Everything." said Cynda.

As more beers arrived.

A Nice Night...A Nice ending to a turbulent and busy day.

IV-

That night...

We are all at home, relaxing after the end of a somewhat successful day! We had gotten Cynda released from custody after her arrest and she was across the street from us, safely asleep at Olivia and Beverly's house.

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

My eyes popped out of my head..

She giggled..

"Oh my goddd..look at you...Are you going to act like this all the time?..WOW!!! That boner is massive." she said and put her hands over her mouth..

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

"Yes, both, the panties and the baby doll...I knew you'd like it." she giggled..

"I like everything on you.." I said.

"Awwwwwwwwwwww" she giggled.

I undressed and slipped her panties down and off and took her into my arms and kissed her softly....

"Ohhhhh my godddd, Bee Bee...These are grown women's panties"I moaned...

"I'm a grown woman aren't I?" she said.

"YESSSSSSS! YES YOU ARE BEE BEE." I said.

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

We lie across the bed, kissing and practically slobbering over each other....

Soon we were making love passionately on top of the bed..Not thinking about recent events..

The next EIGHT TO NINE HOURS, all we were thinking about was each other..

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

Sofia and Kahlil were lying across the bed..

Kissing ,fondling and laughing..

He slipped her panties down and off...

"OHHHHHHHH MAMASITA!!!" he moaned...

"OHHHHHHHH PAPI, DON'T SAY IT!!! OUUUUUUUUU!" she cooed

"OUUUUUUUUUUU PAPI...AYE MIOS DIOS! You are sooo damn hard! OUUUUU!" Sofia moaned as she rode him on the side of the bed until neither one of them could take anymore...

"You've always gotten me hard mamasita." said Kahlil.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she cooed.

before they too were making sweet love for the next EIGHT TO NINE HOURS!

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

They had been making sweet love since Ms. Yvette got home for the day...

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH GARYYYYYYYY, UMMMMMMMMMMMM!" moaned Ms. Yvette..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUU VETTTTTTTTTTIE, you're my sweet girl." moaned her husband, Gary...

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

Yvette smiled..

"OHHHHHHH VETTIE I LOVE YOU SOOO MUCH!" Gary yelled out..

"Not More than I love you....OUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" said Yvette..

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

EIGHT TO NINE HOURS had passed by.

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

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

And Gary and Ms. Yvette were sound asleep..

And Next door at Jessica and Chips house.

"OUUUUUUUUU YVETTE IS SOOO Loud. HAHAHAHA ,IT MUST BE GOOD, GARY MUST BE REALLY LAYING SOME PIPE TONIGHT!" said Jessica .

"I'm about to make you scream loud.. I'm about to lay some pipe in you..." said her husband,

"I'm going to have to take Jessie and Chip to the store where we got our foam bed....Their bed is so loud and squeaky........She's loud enough...but their bed is really loud..."laughed Yvette.. "I love her to death, but the girl is loud. Chip must be really putting it to her!." laughed Yvette.She and Gary had been awakened by Jessica's cooing and screaming and Chip's loud moaning and the squeakiness of their bed..

"And we aren't loud?? Come on Vettie...You're as loud as she is."laughed Gary, who was rubbing Yvette's butt softly and lifting up her baby doll..

He mounted her again......

"OUUUUUUUUUUUU I DON'T BELIEVE YOU.....OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she moaned... "YOU ARE A HORN DOG SUPREMEEEEEE!" she laughed out loud..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU THAT WAS AMAZING!" she coooed..

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH DAMNNN GIRRRRRL!" Gary said..
