Attention To Details

AFTERNOON-
 

We were eating Dinner.

''Wow, another afternoon...I guess we are going home tonight and chill huh?" said Jazzy..
 

"Yeah, We did a lot of running around last week with Cynda, Aqua Bar, Stoleys, Josie"s during the week." said Dabnis.

"Yeah and we missed Curley's... This week let's just chill until Thursday Night." said Kayla.

"That's alright with me.."said Ray, who wanted to chill at home with just his wife.

"Tonight is a nice night to stop by the Wine and Spirits store and get a nice bottle of wine.." said Jessica.

"That's a good idea..." said  Chip..

"Our client will be by here tomorrow morning at 10:30 AM." said Karen...

"This could be a good story." said B.L.

"Yeah but hold up until we get a trial date and a judge.." said Natalie.

I rubbed her legs softly......

"Yeah we don't want to tip somebody off, before he hatches a plan to interfere." I said.

"He's so well connected, he might already know.."said Brooke.

"He might....and that might keep him from knowing about what I'm doing." said Sean.

"You're going ahead with this huh?" said Natalie.

"Oh Yes...I've already got a meeting with Milt Lewis set up for tomorrow ." said Sean...

"Good Luck to you bro!Take him down." I said.

Brooke couldn't help but look a little worried.

Zoey put her arms around her..

"It'll be alright...Your husband knows what he is doing." she said.

Lem looked on...

"Jessica, we'll join you guys at the Wine and Spirits store tonight." said Renee.

"Yeah I'd like to get a nice port."said her husband, Tyrell.

"The More the merrier...We'll go as soon as we get off the train." said Jessica.

"I hope Olivia has some more of that Key Lime Pie." said Paris.

"Yeah man, I do too." said Tony as they finished their meal.

Sean whispered to Yvette ,his plans... 

 "You're smart to keep that photo in the safe at Olivia's house.. It's safe there....and the transcripts of the trial too...And using Melvin Lewis as an investigator is a good move too.. When you two meet it should be somewhere  you're likely not to run into Judge Wilson..He has eyes and ears everywhere." said Yvette.

"He doesn't know that you have the transcripts to the Elliot trial, but he knows she asked for a copy." said Keith Jones.

"She's in Rochester...She left a few days ago and she didn't leave a return address."said Sean.

"Oh Good...Because I wouldn't put it past him to go to her apartment and harrass her."said Bee Bee.

"Now he doesn't know where she is...or why she asked for those trial transcripts.She's safe." said Sofia.

"The best thing is He doesn't know that you have them or where you stashed them." said Kahlil.

"Does he know about the photo?"asked Jade.

"He doesn't even know it exists...I snatched it from Zack Roman's loft before it was cleaned out and before he could go back and look for it." said Sean.

"You really think he's the killer huh?" asked Virginia.

"I do." said Sean..

"Be careful...He has a lot of friends and a lot of connections...Be careful who you talk to...Keep your circle close." said Jetty...

Brooke and Sean walked to the elevator-

As soon as the elevator doors closed...

They were engulfed in  hot smouldering kisses...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU CHOCOLATE DADDY!" she moaned..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU VANILLA!" he moaned.

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" Brooke moaned.

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWW LAWWWWD!" he cried out.

"Damn, this elevator got to the main floor too quick." said Sean...

Brooke laughed....

"That's okay...when we get home , we can continue. Good luck today!" she said.

and she gave him one last kiss..

II-

Brooke was there to meet our new client...Barbara Jones...

She wasn't what we expected at all...and we were delighted to find out she was a Notary and Loan specialist at a local bank.

Brooke brought her up to our suite where she introduced her to Me, My wife, Natalie and our supervisor, Karen....

"Hi Barbara." I said. "I'm David Charles." I said.

"Hi Barbara....I'm Natalie Charles."

"Hi Barbara ,I'm Karen Page-Benz..." said Karen, using her full married name for the first time.

"Not to be newsy, but was that your uh boyfriend you were kissing on the elevator?" asked Barbara to Brooke.

"That was my husband....He's a U.S. Attorney...He works down the street." said Brooke, blushing...

"I like you guys already....You two are married." she said pointing to me and Natalie. "I can tell, the body language between you two.."

Barbara paid close attention to detail...

Natalie and I smiled and both of us blushed a little bit..

We sat at our table.....

"Okay let's get down to cases..."In February 2024, a fire destroyed your home ...Your home had extensive electrical problems, and you  had spent the night with your sister after the electrician failed to show. The insurance company declared that the fire was electrical in nature. But after the fire, your former roommate, Alan Olsen, approached you, grabbed you by the throat and threatened to tell the police that you burned the house down unless you gave him a piece of the insurance money. 

You refused and reported the assault to the police. Alan then went to the police and accused you of arson, presenting audio tapes in which a female voice said she "lit a match" and burned the house down. 

Based on Alan's report, You were arrested and charged with arson. At the trial, the police denied knowledge of the assault. You testified that the voice on the tape was not yours, while her defense attorney highlighted Alan Olsen's extensive criminal background and argued that Alan had fabricated the tape to get back at you for refusing to pay him. You were convicted of arson and sentenced to nine months in jail and seven years of probation.

The Defense Attorney was bullied by the Judge and came to court sleepy and or inebriated on several occassions... We are asking for a new trial on account of inefficient defense counsel...." said Karen.

"You're right.. My sister sold her car in order to pay this attorney's outrageous fees...He came to court smelling like a saloon on more than one occassion...He fell asleep during pertinent parts of the trial and when he was sober and alert, all of his motions were shot down by that damn racist, sexist pig of a judge, Judge James Wilson...I hate him...He was on the side of the prosecution the entire time.." said Barbara...

"My Husband was the jury foreman on one of that Judges trials a few weeks ago and he felt that Judge was particularly biased and in favor of the prosecution." said Brooke.

"Your husband is a U.S. Attorney and they still picked him for jury duty?" asked Barbara.

"I'm afraid so...He didn't want to do jury duty. He was surprised he got picked too." said Brooke.

"We know a number of other attorneys who have recently had run ins with Judge James Wilson too...I'm talking in the past few weeks." said Natalie.

"That's why he WILL NOT BE THE JUDGE ON YOUR RETRIAL!  I can assure you of that..."said Karen.

"Well I'm glad of that..."said Barbara.

I smiled....

I met with Private Investigator, Milt Lewis at the The Naked Deli... I had been her ejust a week before with Kathy Elliot...I figured it was a good place to eat and meet..Far from anyone either one of us would know and run into.

We both ordered Corn Beef specials and beers...

Private Investigator Milt Lewis, A former Homicide Detective looked at the photo..

"A Real Rogues Gallery There... You got Judge James Wilson, Lucas Fuentes, Bull Bailey and Paul Lagerfield... I don't know the boy at the end of the table. Oh yes I do...That's Zack...He was a driver, a valet for Paul Lagerfield..Yeah." he said, looking at the photo as he munched on his corn beef special and swigged his beer.

"Zack is dead.... Somebody beat him to death a few weeks ago with a baseball bat. I served on the jury of the woman accused of killing him...She was acquitted.. I fear his actual murderer is still out there,lauighing." I said.

"Sorry to hear that about Zack...He was a regular in Curley's......He drove for uh Paul Lagerfield.. He hated the guy...said he was a cheapskate...Zack was in school, studying accounting..Said as soon as he graduated, he was quitting the job he had. Now let me tell you about this guy...Lagerfield..

"He was a rich prick! His father was a State Senator and an Attorney...He was educated in Private Schools....Went to The University Of Pennsylvania for undergrad and the University of Pennsylvania Law School...He went to school with Olivia Bennett as she was known then, Yvette Jones and Karen Page. He may have graduated a little before them, but they all traveled in the same circles..

He was ambitious....Got himself a job as an Associate Attorney at .Heston and Clarke, a very established law firm...very influential...

Judge James Wilson was at McCluskey/Cozen/Connor and Pratt, where your friends Yvette Jones-Lockwood and associates work , he was a rising star, very ambitious, married and rising from Associate Attorney to Senior Associate Attorney...He was on a short list to make partner...Only he didn't.He was furious.....He resigned and went to work for Heston and Clarke.

Here he crossed paths with equally ambitious Paul Lagerfield....They were both Associate Attorneys at the time and very competitive...They both became Senior Associate Attorneys at the time and were in direct competition for Partner...

They hung out in Curleys with the equally ambitious Attorney Lucas Fuentes and Detective turned Federal Investigator Bull Bailey.... All of them drank there.....Lagerfield was friends with Fuentes as was James Wilson, but it was clear that the two men did not like each other...

Lagerfield had a driver..Zack Roman, who drove him to work and drove him to his home on the mainline.. Like I said...Zack hated his guts and couldn't wait to finish school so he could stop driving for him...

Lagerfield was young , handsome and caught the attention of James Wilson's wife..

Alexandria Wilson..." said Milt.. He showed me a photo of a woman who looked almost uncannily like my wife, Brooke, but a little older.

"Oh My God!! She is almost the spitting image of my wife Brooke." I said.

"Yes....but Alexandria Wilson was older....and rumor has it...She was attracted to Paul Lagerfield and they were keeping company in a very Tony and expensive love nest in Center City that he kept for such an occassion. He was engaged to a pretty little Jewish girl in the Mainline township he lived in...

"Oh wowww!" I said.

"Two things happened...Paul Lagerfield made Partner at the firm and James Wilson did not...He was inconsolable....Take that and the fact that he knew Lagerfield was boppin around with his wife and well

you can imagine how explosive it was..

All I know is Paul Lagerfield was partying in Curley's celebrating this milestone one night in August 2016...  They were going to give him a suite and told him to pick four attorneys for his staff and to hire an office manager....and maybe a para-legal... He left Curley's that night around 1:30 AM and that's the last time anyone saw him or heard from him... His driver, Zack drove up at 2:00 to pick him up and he wasn't there.. He waited until 2:45 when he absolutely had to leave...No sign of Paul anywhere..."said Milt Lewis.

III-

THAT NIGHT AT HOME!

"I like our new client..She's real down to Earth..." said Natalie.

"Yeah she is... and we have a good chance of getting her a new trial..." I said.

"And if we keep Darth Vader away from it...It'll go even better for us."said Natalie..

"Darth Vader...that's a good name for him."I said as we both laughed.

"Everytime you get me to laughing my clothes wind up coming off.." laughed Natalie.

''Nahhh!" I said in protest..

"Yes they do.." she said.

I unsnapped her bra...

"See?" she said.

and slipped her panties off...

"You've got my clothes off and my underwear is following." she giggled.

"Yeah, how about that?" I said.

We stood in the middle of the floor naked for a minute, saying nothing...

I picked her up and slowly parted her legs and entered her warm  wet center.....Her body once again trembled and her head moved from side to side...She held on to me for dear life...

I laid her on the bed and parted her legs....She was so wet and so warm and smelled so good that I was delirious...

I couldn't get enough of Natalie and she couldn't get enough of me...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUU SWEET HUSBAND!!! OUUUUUUUUUUU!" she cooed softly...

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWW LAWWWWWWWD!" I cried out...

We weren't doing a lot of moaning and cooing...but we were really going at each other...Natalie had her arms wrapped around my neck and her legs wide open and wrapped around my back...

She was having an intense orgasm!   She wasn't speaking but she was smiling broadly....and her body was trembling....

"Is it good to you? Is it good to you baby?" she whispered..

"YES...YES!" I cried out..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUU, UMMMMMMMMMM!" she moaned.

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....DAVID.....OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!"Natalie finally moaned loudly.....

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM NATALIE....YOU ARE DRIVING ME CRAZY!" I cried out..

We made love for the next EIGHT TO NINE HOURS!

Ending our night with Natalie lying on top of me, breathing heavily.....

"Look at you...Big smile on your face.." she said..

I continued to smile as she lay her head on my chest....I wrapped my arms around her back...

Next Door at Brooke and Sean's house..

''Wow what you've told me is mind boggling...but you have no proof of any wrong doing by Judge Wilson."said Brooke.

"No not yet....or his relationship with his riva's Valet, Zack....but I think...I think Zack obviously knew something, something about what happened to his former boss..." said Sean...

"WOWWW!  This is really spooky." said Brooke.

"And look at this photo of  the Judge's wife.....currently missing also." said Sean, showing her the glossy...

Brooke was shocked at the photo.

"Oh My God...She looks like me...It's like looking at a twin!!!!  This certainly explains a lot." said Brooke.

"Shows why he's obsessed with you....Shows why I'm obsessed with you...."laughed Sean...

"Awwwwwwwwwwwwww!" said Brooke.

She took him into her arms and kissed him passionately....

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Brooke you drive me mad!"said Sean....

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu good, that means I'm doing my job..." she said.

"AWWWWWWWWW LAWWWWD!" he eclaimed.

Brooke giggled.

Sean slowly unsnapped her bra...

and slipped her panties down...

"Oh My God Sean, you are so hard....ouuuuuuu and so big! Ummmmmm" moaned Brooke..

He spread her legs and entered her slowly....She was wet and warm and smelled good...He was delirious...

OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!  WOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she cooed.

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! LAWDDDDDDDDDDD! BROOKE!" he moaned...

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MYYYYYYY GODDDDDD!!OUUUUUUUUUUU
WOUUUUUUUUU!" she screamed. Tears flowed down her cheeks!

Her body trembled and she had a quick almost embarrassing orgasm....

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.LAWWWWWWWWWWD BROOKE, MY SWEET VANILLA!!!" he moaned.

The bed squeaked loudly and the headboard rattled....

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! CHOCOLATE DADDY!!!" she moaned.. 

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HUSBAND!  OUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she moaned.

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!"he moaned loudly...

"Chocolate Daddy ,I'm about to cummm....OUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!"

"OHHHHHHHHHHH BROOKIE...SO AM I....AWWWWW LAWWWWWD!" he yelled out.

Standing outside of our homes was once again Judge James Wilson...dressed in all Black.

He could no longer see any more than a silhouette, but he could hear the moaning and cooing and the bedsprings squeaking...It was turning him on at one point and angering him at another point..

"They have sex almost every night ....They are practically newlyweds....but all the name calling, "Vanilla", "Chocolate Daddy" I hate it!! I HATE IT!!!" he said, stomping his foot and walking to his car and pulling off...

IV-

We were headed to work the next day....

"Karen can I use your conference room today....just for a half an hour?" said Sean.

"Sure...We are going to be in court..." said Karen.

Natalie and I sat together on the train kissing...

"Damnnn Natalie..." I said looking at Natalie...

"My goodness David....You wake up horny...."said Natalie...

"You are too horny....Maybe you should see a therapist.....I'm not that sexy." laughed Natalie.

"You are to me." I said in between kisses.

"Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww" she said as we continued to kiss

Brooke leaned her head into Sean's shoulder and chest...

"Be Careful baby....I'm amazed this hasn't leaked out to him already." whispered Brooke.

"How could it?   He doesn't know I have that photo, he wasn't able to find Kathy Elliot who ordered a copy of her trial transcripts and he certainly doesn't know I have it....And I haven't started asking questions about him yet." said Sean.

 

Jazzy lay in her husband's Dabnis's arms , sleeping quietly.

Kayla lay in her husband, Ray's arms sleeping peacefully.

Jessica  and her husband,Chip talked quietly...

"Today we go to court to get our Judge Assigned and to get a new prosecutor assigned also."said Karen.

''Who was the Prosecutor in the original case?" asked Natalie.

"Courtland James , who doesn't want it, I heard...Plus he just finished a big case last week and is enjoying a few days vacation."I said.   I had heard this from my sources at the courtyhouse.

"Beautiful....We lucked out twice...No Wilson and no Courtland James."said Brooke.

Sean hugged her... "I'm happy for you babe." he said.

"We have a litigation today."said Zoey....

"I know....I love working with you..."said Lem....

"I'm supposed to be in court with Kayla this morning." said Renee...

"Oh good luck..We don't have anything today do we?" asked Tyrell...

"No I think we are straight today.."said Paris.

"Yeah ,knock on wood."laughed Tony.... 

 "After last week with both Courtland James and Judge Wilson, every morning is a good day." said Yvette.

"Amen to that." said Keith Jones.

"Yeah well we won't have to deal with either of them either on this case." I said.

"I heard that your client, although convicted is not in jail yet..." said Bee Bee...

"How nice is that ? Not having to go up to Valhalla for a visit." said Sofia.

"She served six months of a nine month jail sentence and is on seven years probation....She's out of jail...but she wants her name cleared and her conviction reversed." said Natalie.

"I can understand that." said Kahlil.

"Wow!   She got a surprisingly light sentence."said Jade.

"You guys are arguing inefficient counsel correct?" asked Ms. Virginia.

"That's right." said Brooke.

"Sounds like you have good grounds.."said Jetty.

"That Public defender who argued that case is now working for a law firm in Baltimore.....He's not even in the city anymore...He was waiting for his big break."said Rockland.

"It figures " said Karen.

Our train headed towards our building and onward...
