On Thin Ice

 "Cause of death appears to be blunt force trauma.... I'm guessing this smashed flower pot over here is the murder weapon..." said a Crime Scene Investigator.,.

"Bag the pieces that are left  maybe we can get some good prints from them." said another Crime scene Investigator as another man snapped photos of the corpse..

"Her name according to her ID is Carmen Upton, she's an Assistant District Attorney.."said Dr. Hazel Baylor.

"I knew her...She was a nice lady.....Is he alright over there?" asked Dr. Marcy Martin...

"OHHHHHHHHHHHH!! AWWWWWWW LAWD, MY ACHING HEAD!" said ADA James "Jumpshot Jim Taylor.

"That's quite a bruise you've got on the back of your head." said Hazel.

Lt. Tragg walked in just then...He was shocked by what he saw...

"OH MY GOD!!! OH MY GOD!! That's Tough Cookie!!!....Carmen Upton!!!...Assistant District Attorney...

What the hell happened?? WHAT DID YOU DO??" he exclaimed.

"I didn't do anything you dumb Keystone copper...I came over here to apologize for what happened at dinner and I found her dead....I was getting ready to call the police when someone hit me from behind with a sap...They just brought me to..."said Jumpshot Jim, who was angry at Lt. Tragg for laughing at him earlier and the day before.

"He's telling the truth...One of her neighbors walked up on the scene...The door was wide open and she called 911...Your man is in the hallway interviewing her...When we got here..We initially thought there was two people dead..We found him unconscious and found the young lady unfortunately deceased..." said Dr. Marcy Martin.

''A likely story..You know I saw her slap the daylights out of you at that Sushi Restaurant earlier tonight and pour punch all over your suit...Just like I saw another girl pour coffee on you yesterday...You're battin a thousand with the ladies  pal...and you expect me to believe that cock a mamy story you just told?" said Lt. Tragg.

"She didn't pour punch on my head and suit...It was that other young lady...She only slapped me..and so what and who cares? I'm as much a victim here as Carmen.What are you gonna do about this? a woman has been murdered and I have been attacked!" said Jumpshot Jim.

Lt. Tragg had a hint of a smile....

"He does have a head injury...Marcy and I treated him and he was out cold when we got here."said Hazel.

But talking to Lt. Tragg was like talking to a brick wall...He was hearing none of it..

"You're coming down to the station with me for questioning Taylor.." he said. You could look at him and tell he was enjoying this..

Our Doorbell Rang....

"Who can it be at this time of night?" said Olivia, who was getting ready to get undressed..

Shed turned on the doorbell monitor screen..

It was Assistant District Attorney Chris Garcetti...

"Hi Olivia..I'm sorry to trouble you at this time of night...but I need your help...A friend needs your help!" he said.

''What Kind of help? Who is the friend?" asked Olivia.

"It's Jumpshot Jim!!!.....ADA Carmen Upton was found murdered in her condo and Jim was found knocked unconscious...Despite that, Lt. Tragg has taken him in for questioning..." said Chris,.

"It's just questioning...Has he been charged?" asked Olivia.

"No but you know how Tragg is...He will charge him soon...Jim is a lot of things, A womanizer, a braggart, but he's no killer, you know that." said Chris.

"Chris, go see about him...You're a lawyer....If Tragg charges him..Then you call me okay?"said Olivia.

"Okay! Yes...I'll do that...Thank you Olivia."said Chris Garcetti.  "Good Night!" he added.

''What was that about?" I asked.

"Carmen Upton was found murdered tonight  in her condo and Jumpshot Jim was found unconscious in her apartment.. Lt. Tragg has dragged him down to the station for questioning."said Olivia.

"WOW!  We just saw her earlier tonight...WOWWWW! Murdered.....Not his night tonight is it? "I said, shocked.

"Jumpshot Jim is a lot of things....A Murderer is not one of them."said Olivia.

"He has been having a rough time with the ladies this week. He's been skating on Thin Ice!" I said.

 

 II-

An otherwise warm night in spring.

.

Olivia didn't say anything...She smiled at me.... She left the bedroom and went into the bathroom

She returned in a pink babydoll and pink string bikini panties.

"You Like?" she asked.

"Ohhhhhhhhhh I like...I like." I said.

"I thought you would.." she giggled...

She slowly and softly kissed me...

She kissed me and didn't stop...breathing heavily and continuing to kiss me...

I slowly slipped her panties down.....

Olivia smelled so good...Her skin was so soft.....I was delirious....

I, lifted her up....and slowly and softly entered her...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she moaned....

"OH MY GODDDDD!" I said...

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM HUSBAND....OUUUUUUUUU" she cooed..

"OLIVIA!!!!" I whispered loudly...

We crashed on the bed, not talking ,kissing each other passionately.....

Olivia straddled me ,spread her legs and eased down on me again....riding me slowly and slowl;y driving me out of my mind..

Riding me cowgirl style.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! GIVE IT TO ME DADDY!" she moaned....

"OH MY GODDDDD!" I said...I was losing my mind...delirious,not knowing if I was coming or going..

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM HUSBAND....OUUUUUUUUU" she cooed..

"OLIVIA!!!!" I whispered loudly...

"DONNIE RAYYYYYYY!" she cried out..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...OHHHHHHHHH MY WORRRRRRD!" she moaned...

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM...PUT IT IN...PUT IT ALL IN...OUUUUUUUUU!" she cooed.

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW SWEEET BABYYYYYY! UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!" I moaned...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUU IT FEELS GOOD...IT FEELS GOOOD!   IT FEEEELS GOOOOOD TO ME!!!  IS IT GOOD TO YOU BABY? IS IT GOOD TO YOU?!" she cried out...

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWW LAWWWWWWWD! YES ...YES LAWWWWD!!!" I moaned loudly.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUU GIVE IT TO ME DADDY, GIVE IT TO ME!!" she cried out..

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHH....OHHHHHHHHHHHHH...AWWWWWWWWWWW LAWWWD!" I cried out.

We made love for the next NINE TO TEN HOURS !!!!

"End of a splendid day." sighed Olivia as she lie on my chest breathing heavily...

"Yes indeed." I said.   The last thing either of us was thinking about was the fate of Jumpshot Jim...

Downstairs in Beverly and Nelson's bathroom...

Beverly stood in the bathroom, washing up...Taking off her lipstick and make up....

Nelson came up behind her...

"Tomorrow after breakfast ,I'll help you put some files away in the law library..we left it a mess." she said.

" That'll be cool...We'll be the only two in there. Your Mom has to run some errands." said Nelson...

"You'll like that won't you?., Look at you with your big ole hard self behind me...I feel that thing... You're getting excited thinking about it aren't you?"laughed Beverly.

Nelson giggled....Took Beverly in his arms..

"I always get excited thinking about you." he said softly...

He and Beverly began kissing...

"AWWWWWWWWWWW!" she said..

"I love kissing you." he said.

"I love kissing you too!" she said.

As their kissing  got more passionate....Nelson got more excited.....

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!" he moaned.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she cooed as they continued to kiss.

He slipped her panties down.....

He spread her legs and entered her from behind...doggie style.

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM....OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!" she moaned..

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH........AWWWWWWWWWWW LAWD BEVERLY!" he moaned loudly..

She laughed.....

They sat on the side of the bed with Beverly riding him slowly and kissing him...

"NELSON, I LOVE YOU SOOO MUCH!"she said, moving up and down on him....

"I LOVE YOU TOO...I ALWAYS HAVE..." he said.

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!" she said as she continued to ride him..

"OUUUUUUUUUUU NELSON!" Beverly moaned as he rolled her over on the bed..

"BEVERLY GIRRRRRRRRRRRLLLL!" Nelson moaned..spreading her legs and mounting her again...

He spread her legs and entered her again...Her body began to tremble mightily....she was wet , her skin was baby soft, Nelson was losing his mind...humping away at Beverly mightily...Her head was turning from side to side, sweat and tears were flowing down her face...

Beverly had several back to back orgasms....She was openly crying like a little girl as she and Nelson made sweet love for NINE TO TEN HOURS!

She wound up resting on his chest , while he held her gently and drifted off to sleep.

And at Central Booking in the "Fishbowl" , the nickname the detectives gave to their interrogation room, Jumpshot Jim sat with a wet suit and an aching headache....

"PEEEEEEEEE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU, This room stinks.. Instead of wasting time with me , you should be out trying to find the killer."said Jumpshot Jim.

"I may already have the killer right here....Isn't that right, Ladykiller?, hahahahahahahaha!" asked Lt. Tragg.

"You're about as funny as a pay toilet in a diarrhea ward Tragg...We both know I didn't kill her..I had no reason." said Jumpshot Jim,utterly embarrased and humiliated by the night's events...

 "Why didn't you? She found out you were doin the hibbity bibbity with another woman...She slapped the hell out of you...You went to her place, she told you to leave, an argument ensued and you brained her with a flower pot...sounds about right to me."said Lt. Tragg, trying hard not to laugh. 

 His revenge had played out in spades , except for the murder...He never counted on that and had no idea Jumpshot was even dating Carmen Upton...A young ADA he himself liked a lot... He had given her the nickname, "Tough Cookie" because she had won so many court convictions and had put so many bad charactors away for long stretches.

"I've come to get my client Lieutenant." said Assistant District Attorney , Chris Garcetti..

Lt. Tragg managed a wry smile-

"Oh you have?" he said sardonically.

"Are you going to charge him or what?" asked Chris...

"Not tonight....but charges are coming...You can go Taylor...For now...but uh, I wouldn't leave town."laughed Lt. Tragg...

"You're having too much fun with this." said Jumpshot Jim, who knew Lt. Tragg was steamed about what he had said about his shoddy police work on Television and how it had gotten him a one month ride on the Police Marine Boat.

"Thanks Chris." he said.  "But you know as a fellow ADA  you can't defend me." he said as they walked out...

"I don't intend to...I went to see Olivia and Beverly tonight...She might take your case if you're charged."said Chris.

"What? Really?   They were at the restaurant tonight when that babe, Gina Sanchez poured punch all over my suit and showed those lurid videos of me and your cousin having sex to me and Carmen...It was a mess...I was soooo embarrassed."said Jumpshot Jim.

"My Dad saw it too! 

OFFICE OF DISTRICT ATTORNEY GIL GARCETTI-

 He got an envelope yesterday with a zip drive and photos of you and Gina Sanchez doing the hibbity bibbity too! He was not pleased...

"OH MY GODDDD!" he yelled out!

"WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTT? Wait...Gina gets an envelope with a zip drive and movies featuring me and Amy Riddick.....Amy gets a zip drive and movies featuring me and Gina Sanchez and your father gets a zip drive with movies and photos of me and Gina Sanchez...Don't you see...somebody is trying to set me up???This was a professional job....Somebody is trying to ruin MY LIFE!!" said Jumpshot.

"And they've done a damn good job of it... Right now..you need to get a hot shower and get some coffee and then some sleep...Though maybe not in that order." said Chris Garcetti.

III-

Another warm Spring Morning... 

We were all having Breakfast...

"Auntay.....Chris Garcetti actually came by here last night..asking us to defend Jumpshot Jim?

Carmen is dead?? WOWWWWW!!! What a turn of events..." asked an astounded Beverly.. 

"Niecey Poo, Neicey Poo, turn your motor down a notch..."laughed Olivia.  "Yes Chris came by here last night , a little after 11.. Carmen "Tough Cookie" Upton was murdered apparently in her apartment.. Jumpshot Jim was found on the floor unconscious..l.Both had been Attacked.. and Lt. Tragg dragged Jumpshot Jim down to the station for questioning. I told Chris if he is charged then to come back to us.."said Olivia.

 

"It's been hours...I guess he wasn't charged." I said.

"WOW! What a night..We all go to the premiere opening of a brand new restaurant in our neighborhood..  Carmen "Tough Cookie" Upton is murdered and Jumpshot Jim is attacked and exposed for the fraud he is by our friend, Gina Sanchez..."said Beverly.

"Not his night huh?   He probably went back there to apologize and straighten things out , if he could and walked into something he didn't expect."said Nelson.

"You got his defense all planned out Nelson and we haven't even gotten the case yet."laughed Josie.

"I know right?   I don't even know if I want this one... I don't like how he did my girl Gina..and not just with Amy...but he had Carmen lined up too! Ole hound dog, now his ass is in trouble."laughed Beverly.

"But the city will pay us a pretty penny to dig their golden boy out of this ditch." said Bresha.

"You know Amy Riddick is D.A. Garcetti's niece don't you?  If he gets wind of this....OHHHHH BOYYY!!! Let's just say...I wouldn't want to be Jumpshot Jim at this point."laughed Olivia.

"This all looks like a set up...He sleeps with one girl, our friend Gina...  The D.A.'s niece gets an envelope within days with photos and a zip drive that has a lurid video of him and Gina doing the deed...and then days later, Gina gets the same envelope ,only with him and Amy doing the deed on the zip drive and photos of them.. Seems like a third party has it in for ole boy." said Alfreda.

"You know Alfreda is right...This was a slick operation....Very well put together."I said.

 

"Yeah but why kill Carmen Upton?...She didn't have anything to do with this, except that she too was sleeping with Jumpshot Jim...She's not on any of the videos."said Nelson.

 

"Maybe her murder had nothing to do with the rest...It was just his dumb luck that he was out with her that night...There was an altercation and he walked in on her murder.... The killer was still there and-"said Olivia.

"He or she brained him."said Beverly.

''Well Like I said. We got his defense all planned out  and we haven't even gotten the case yet."laughed Josie.

We All joined her in laughing.

Olivia and Alfreda went shopping... I drove them...Josie and Bresha went out to lunch...

And Beverly and her husband, Nelson put away law books and files we used for our last case and tidied up the law library.....Which gave them alone time...

"We only have two hours...before everybody will be back.."whispered Beverly...

"That's all I need...It never takes that long to clean up..."said Nelson.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU YOU ARE SOOO NASTY!" laughed Beverly..

"Ummmmmmmmmm are you wearing any panties?" asked Nelson..

"Only one way to find out?"cooed Beverly seductively as their kissing got hotter.

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMM YOU ARE!"moaned Nelson...as he slipped her panties down...

"Of course....what kind of girl do you think I am?" moaned Beverly...

Nelson placed Beverly up on one of the counters, pulled her legs apart and entered her warm wet center..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU THIS IS SOOOO GOOD!"he moaned as he slowly thrusted away..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! UMMMMMMMMMMMM HUSBAND!" she moaned..

her body trembling something fierce, her head turning from side to side...and tears of joy just streaming down her face...

TWO HOURS LATER-

Beverly was putting her lipstick on...

While Nelson fixed his clothes and straightened out his suit...

Beverly took out an antiseptic wipe and cleaned the lipstick off of his suit jacket and the side of his face..

IV-

A DAY LATER-

Jumpshot Jim finally came to visit us....He felt as though he needed to unburden himself.

"We've faced each other in court on numerous occassions. I've never had anything personal against you guys.... As Carmen once said...We are all just attorneys trying to make a living. I know Gina Sanchez is a friend of yours....I'm sorry about what happened to her...I never meant to hurt her and believe me , she would have never been hurt if someone ,some slick outsider hadn't decided to put micro cameras and micro listening devices all over my bedroom, recording my most intimate moments with Gina and Amy...  This was done to purposely hurt me...Which is why it was sent to both women AND my boss, Gil Garcetti, who is Amy's Uncle.." said Jumpshot.

"Wow! You really like living dangerously...I'm surprised he hasn't fired you!" said Beverly.

"He couldn't...That was outside of work and it's personal...but you're right...I'm not very high on his list of people right now....I'm uh keeping my distance." said Jumpshot Jim. 

"Well we've entertained the possibility that Carmen's murder and the envelopes that were delivered to your Boss, Gina and Amy may not have anything to do with each other. Just an unfortunate series of events."said Olivia.

 

"I went over to your loft , earlier today with another private investigator and we swept your place...We didn't find not one Micro-Listening device or Micro Video camera. The people in the building across the street from you do remember renting that condo to a man with camera equipment...but they couldn't give us a good description of him...He was only there on certain nights and paid for everything with cash.  This sounds like a Private Investigator with operatives... And they did a pretty slick,pretty professional job...They didn't leave behind a print or any DNA...Same thing with across the street from you." I said.

"Well, the good news is...You're not in jail and nobody is bugging your loft now."said Beverly.

"It's up to the cops to catch Carmen's killer." said Nelson.

"With that Boob, Lt. Tragg running the investigation, I doubt if Carmen's murderer will ever be captured." said Jumpshot.

Josie laughed ..."You're right about that!" she said.

"The Doorbell is ringing.."said Bresha.

"I'll get it." said Alfreda.

"Hello Alfreda....can I speak to your boss a minute? It's about her client."said Lt. Tragg

There were several police cars outside.

"What are you doing here?" asked Jumpshot Jim.

"Bad News for you Jimmy....You are under arrest for the murder of Carmen Upton...You have the right to remain silent...Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law...You have the right to an attorney..if you can't afford these high priced attorneys and I'm bettin your boss and the city are not going to pick up the tab for you...One will be provided for you...You being an attorney for the time being undwerstand these rights as I have read them to you? Don't you?" said Lt. Tragg, trying his best not to laugh..

It was all Jumpshot Jim could do not to haul off and slug Lt. Tragg, to wipe that satisfied smirk off of his face as he was handcuffed and put in the back of the car like a common criminal..

Naturally the press was there to catch his total embarrassment and humiliation...

"Good Night Olivia, folks." said Lt. Tragg

As his car pulled off..

The afternoon train had pulled up...Our friends had gotten off and were headed home....

"That was Jumpshot Jim getting arrested wasn't it?" asked Jazzy..

"Yeah, that was him!" said Olivia.

 

"Wowwww! Imagine that!" said Dabnis.

"Liv you guys gotta get him out on bail....He won't last a night in the city jail."said Kayla.

"For Sure." said her husband, Ray...

"A Part of me doesn't feel sorry for him...He's getting his just desserts.."said Jessica.

"You don't actually believe he's a murderer do you?  Womanizing jerk, okay..but killer? Nah this aint him."said her husband, Chip.

"I agree Chip...He's no killer..." said Karen.

"Lt. Tragg has the wrong man."said Renee.

"So What else is new?" asked her husband, Tyrell.

"Wow! We missed all the fun." said Paris..

"For Sure." said Tony,.

 "I heard you might consider taking his case...I guess it's true huh?" said Yvette.

"Vettie Girl, I was torn at first when Chris Garcetti came here late at night asking me to consider...but now I want to take the case if for no other reason to knock that smirk off of Lt. Tragg's face...He's having too much fun with this." said Olivia.

"You know how thin skinned he is.. He was pissed that Jumpshot Jim got on TV and said all of that stuff about him and his tawdry investigations...Which lead to Lt. Tragg getting a one month vacation on the Police Marine Boat, which he hates." said Keith Jones..

"He was pissed...So I imagine when those girls poured coffee and punch on Jumpshot's head and told him to get lost..He was beside himself...You saw how he was laughing in the restaurant the other night when Gina poured punch all over him." said Bee Bee.

"And Now this...a woman murdered and he on the scene...He is in heaven....We all should be so lucky as to have total revenge like this. To this extent." said Sofia.

"Wow!   The man enjoys his work sooo much!  He's the king of petty." said Kahlil.

"Oh that he is." said Jade.

"I remember how he cruelly hounded me when I got released from prison." said Virginia.

"Take it Olivia, Win it and knock that smirk off of his dumb face."said Jetty...

"That's what I intend to do Jetty." said Olivia.
