The Office Of ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY MATTHEW MULDOON

"This is good work Ingrid...Why is she important to us?" asked Matt Muldoon..

"She works for the Insurance Company that has the paper on Shanahan...She's been investigating his murder too... Olivia and Beverly has already subpoenaed her as a defense witness...but we can call her as a hostile witness."said Investigator Ingrid Stevenson...

"Good work Ingrid....I much prefer you on this case than that Jackass Lt. Tragg.....Did you know he fondled Judge Lopez during our last case together...?" said Matt Muldoon..

"He's busy fondling a judge that doesn't mind his advances...Judge Kelly Ann Mercer..."laughed Ingrid ,who had rebuffed Lt. Tragg's advances herself..

At this very moment in the Judges Chambers...Lt. Tragg and Judge Kelly Ann Mercer were immersed in a passionate kiss..

"AWWWWWWWWWWWW KELLY ANN, I'M READY TO EXPLODE!!!!" he moaned.

''Oh Arthur you've got to calm yourself down...I've got to be in court soon...My goodness." cooed Judge Kelly Ann Mercer..

who continued to kiss him passionately....

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM....OUUUUUUUUUU" he moaned..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU ARTHURRRRR!" she cooed

"Ouuuuuuuuu Arthur we've got to stop soon.." she said.

"AWWWWWWWWW LAWWWWWD! I CAN'T STOP." he moaned.

"Ouuuuu please try hard...I've got to go.." she pleaded...

He had her robe completely up showing her to be wearing garters and tights...

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWW...OH MY GOD!" he moaned..

"I knew if you saw these too early you'd get all bent out of shape... I should have waited to put them on." she said.

"Oh My God!" he moaned..

"Stop it Arthur..." she said , releasing herself from his embrace, putting on her lipstick, fixing her hair and her clothes...

"I'll see you later...Calm Down..." she said, giggling and left the Judges Chambers..

We saw her leave and then we saw him stumble out..

His suit wrinkled....His trousers sticking out like a circus tent and her lipstick all over the side of his face and his suit jacket..

We just happened to be in court that day ,along with our friends, Natalie, Brooke and David Charles...and happened to be passing by..

"Oh My Goodness." said Olivia.

"I'm bettin that room is hot and steamy." I said.

"Oh My God....She is blowing his mind.." said Natalie..

"Yes indeed." said Brooke.

"She's Aces in My Book...It keeps him off of us.." said David.

"He walked by us and didn't say a word."said Nelson.

"What is she doing to him?" asked Josie.

"Josie, You know what she's doing to him."laughed Bresha.

In fact we all shared a good laugh.

We had all been down here today filing briefs and getting ready for trials. Ours would be starting in a few days.

Judge James Wilson saw us as we walked by, laughing and talking...

He stood outside the Judges Chambers....He was a sinister, creepy man...I did not look forward to us trying a case in his courtroom.

II-

Back at our home-

Bonnie Shay was busy listening to the last voicemail message sent to Veronica's phone..She wasn't even aware of it.

"Dear Veronica....I know I''ve let you down with my gambling...We are damn near broke...but I'm going to make it right....I took out a life insurance policy...it's worth 25 million...You are the beneficiary...Payable upon my death.. I hope this gives you much happiness and one last good memory of me."

"Oh My God!! I never heard it....I was with Dex.....my phone was off....Oh My God!" said a stunned

Veronica.

''Sounds like you're in the money little lady" said Alfreda.

''Well at least you'll be able to pay my fee."joked Olivia.

"Something is off here...Something isn't right." I said.

"What's not right? He left her with 25 millie." laughed Beverly...

"Sounds right to me." said Nelson.

"Me too!"laughed Josie.

"It's kind of sad..Almost like he knew he was going to die." said Bresha.

"Yeah....I always thought the murder scene was staged."I said.

"If he committed suicide...We wouldn't pay the policy....He got a hitman to kill him to make it look like he didn't kill himself..but this is still suicide." said Bonnie. "Self assisted Suicide."she said.

"I have his laptop...I've been going through his emails....He was on the dark web....Look what I found." said Bonnie.

"Oh My God, you can actually hire a hitman from this site? Is this for real?" said Olivia.

"It's Very Real and from a look at his financials..He paid his last 50K to this site and hired this man,

Harry Galikos to do the job." said Bonnie.

"The Prosecution may know about the life insurance policy or they may not..but here is your exoneration...This proves you didn't kill him Veronica.. This is what gets you off."said Beverly..

"NO! You can't use that....If it comes out he hired a hitman....Then that's suicide...and I won't get the money and I can't pay you...Attorney/client Privilege...this doesn't go past us."said Veronica.

"I'm from the Insurance Company Doll and I already know it! And it's not Attorney client privilege.

I'm not your attorney....THEY ARE!" said Bonnie.

"Oh!" said Ronnie... "I can't catch a break!" she said and hung her head.

"You gotta make your own breaks and stop depending on the kindness and money of men..." said Nelson...

"Nelson's right...You're smart...You have talents..."said Josie.

"Use them...you're facing spending the rest of your life in prison...or the death penalty at worst...And if we have an edge to get you off, you better let us use it."said Bresha.

"Don't be a fool Ronnie." said Beverly..

Olivia looked as if she was through with her at this point...but I knew she'd get over it.

CURLEYS BAR- COUPLES NIGHT!

The Drinks were flowing as usual tonight.

''Well Monday is showtime for Olivia and Beverly."said Jazzy..

"Round Two with Old Creepy." said Dabnis as he enjoyed his drink...

"I'm worried about them...This is a powerful man and he's got powerful friends.. I just hope he or them don't come after my cousins...They worked hard for everything they have." said Kayla.

"Olivia and Beverly have powerful friends too! Us...We had their back before and we'll have it again."said her husband Ray.

"That's right...We'll go to the mat for them." said Jessica.

"We never look at ourselves as powerful...but we are just as powerful as his friends...whoever they are."said Chip.

"Some of his friends are politicians, businessmen.." chided Karen..

"Relax...He doesn't want anymore bad publicity. I think he wants this trial over as fast as possible...After all he has his eye on a Federal Judgeship...He doesn't want any headlines, especially unfavorable ones..

"He's in here now...I always feel like he's watching us." said Natalie.

"That's just your imagination baby." assured her husband, David.

"No it's not! I swear some nights, I swear he's outside my window, watching me undress.." said Brooke.

"I hope for his sake, he's not." said Sean.

"That's creepy..."said Zoey.

"It is." said her husband Lem.

"Brooke, Natalie...We are going to go shopping for curtains for your windows tomorrow. Lunchtime" said Renee.

"That's a good idea. I'm down." said Brooke.

"Yeah me too!" said Natalie.

Renee's husband Tyrell laughed...

Nina Rios was with us tonight...Sitting on her boyfriend, Carlos lap, sipping her drink..

She and Carlos were the only couple amongst us that weren't married.

"So Olivia , where is Dexter and your client tonight? They didn't want to come out and have drinks with us?" asked Yvette.

"No ,they're in my sub-basement, screwing each other's brains out..."said Olivia.

"They chose the warmth and company of two tonight." I said.

"That's a poetic way to put it." said Beverly with a smile.

"It's better if they aren't in here anyway...Judge Wilson is in here...See him across the room, looking at all of us." said Nelson.

"He gives me the creeps...but like Olivia says..There is safety in numbers." said Josie.

"I know you guys just want this trial to be over."said Paris.

"We came close to dropping it earlier today, but we got it together."said Bresha.

"A long story right? I get it." said her husband, Tony..

"It is a long story." laughed Alfreda as she chugged a beer....

Her husband, ADA Rockland Cambridge also laughed and chugged a beer.

"I just hope I don't have to try a case in his courtroom."laughed Yvette.

"Knock on wood...When you say things like that, it comes to pass.."laughed her husband, Gary....

''We aren't afraid of him." said Keith Jones.

"We aren't in his courtroom...Josie told me how he acted a damn fool at a bail hearing...Had Beverly in tears and so angry, she was getting ready to rush him.."said Bee Bee.

"I would have loved to have seen that." said Sofia.

"You two are so ratchet." joked Kahlil...

"Since Day one in Day Care right girlfriend?" said Bee Bee..

"Right" said Sofia.

Jade laughed ...."You two truly are sisters." said Jade.

So did her husband, Lt. Danny Ho.

"I don't care if he's over there or not...He's not spoiling my night... He needs to get himself a woman,like Lt. Tragg has done." said Virginia.

"I concur." said her husband, Jetty laughing and chugging down a beer.

In a corner in the dark...Lt. Tragg and Kelly Ann were enjoying the night also.

"Arthur do not pull my dress up tonight...I don't need everybody to see that I'm wearing garters with my pantyhose....That's for you when we get to my loft." she said sternly...

"VA VA VA VOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!" he said.... He could care less about the case, the trial coming up.All he cared about was Kelly Ann right now!

Judge Wilson sat eyeing all of us...from a distance.. He was close to a Federal Judgeship...He was going to allow any of us to stop him...He had already taken care of one loose end...There was not going to be another.

From a distance he saw....ADA Matt Muldoon...

and he was with ADA Mellisa Wharton...

Apparently she hadn't learned her lesson...She'd need another stern lesson, he thought.

IV-

And at our Office/Duplex in our sub-basement.

"I'm a lawyer....I make a good living....I'm not wealthy like your late husband was...but we won't be destitute....I don't gamble...I can't even play old maid." said Dexter...

"Ohhhhhh Dexter!" said Veronica...laughing.....

They began kissing passionately...

"You want to take care of me?" she asked.

"I do..." he said in complete seriousness...

Dexter slipped her panties off.

"You're not just saying this because I give you a big boner are you?" she laughed.

"No...I'm cold blooded serious Ronnie." he said.

He spread her legs on the counter and slowly entered her..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! YOU ARE SO BIG! YOU'RE GOING TO SPLIT ME IN HALF....WOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she cooed loudly...

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! NO BABY! I'LL BE GENTLE!! OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" he moaned loudly..

"I KNOW YOU WILL!" she said.

She was baby soft and as wet as could be...He didn't know if he was coming or going!

He thrusted slowly....His legs began shaking....She squeezed his butt....

She kissed him slowly and softly.....

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW LAWWWWWWD!" he moaned.

He lifted her up and began long stroking her...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU YOU HORNY DOG YOU...OUUUUUU!" she moaned...

He spread her legs and entered her again on the bed...

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!" she moaned.

Her legs and body trembling something fierce, her head turning from side to side....and tears just rolling down the side of her face..She was experiencing an intense orgasm....

Olivia was right, they were screwing each other's brains out.....

"Baby" she cooed.

"Darling." he moaned.

"Sweetie" she cooed..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" he moaned quietly....

"OHHHHHHHHH DEXTER!" she moaned.

FOR THE NEXT EIGHT TO NINE HOURS , these two were making sweet, sweet love..Neither of them knew if they were coming or going at the moment...

She spread her legs wide and began to ease herself down on him, having another intense orgasm as she did...

and then riding him like a surfer rides the waves...

"OHHHHHHHHHHH VERONICA? MARRY ME!" he said.

"ARE YOU SERIOUS? OR JUST ABOUT TO CUM?" she laughed.

"I'M SERIOUS!" he said.

"OH!" she replied.

Ending up with them sitting on the side of the bed, kissing and her riding him....

"UMMMMMM YES!" she said.

"YESS WHAT?" He asked.

"I'LL MARRY YOU!" she said.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" he said....and came so hard, he thought he was dying.

It was a quarter to 3:00 AM...The Buses let us off in front of our homes..

all under the watchful eye of Judge James Wilson, who now obsessed with us and our associates, knew where we all lived...Especially Brooke, Sean, Natalie and David.

He sat across the street from them in an unmarked car with tinted windows, getting a glimpse of Brooke.

As she entered her house with her husband and their friends, entered their homes.

While in another part of town...

in front of her apartment complex-

"I'm glad we got to talk Matt." said ADA Mellissa Wharton..

"So Am I...I can't believe someone threatened you....told you to stay away from me...Well don't worry....I'll have 24 hour police protection around you from here on in." he said.

"Oh Thank you...I would invite you in for coffee Matt, but it's late...perhaps tomorrow night." said Mellissa.

"Sure...See you later." said Matt Muldoon, he got in his car and pulled off..

Mellissa opened the door of her apartment..

before she could turn the light on a baseball bat swung and hit the wall!..It just missed her head...

The same menacing man who had threatened her a week before was in her apartment..

"It seems you don't learn very well Ms. Wharton...I told you to stay away from Muldoon...Now I'm going to have to insist you do so. painfully!." he said and raised the bat to strike her..
