VENTURES: Out Of The Fire

The peace and quiet at Northeast Airport was disrupted by an explosion!

A Small private plane crashed and exploded right outside of the airport...

Emergency crews arrived... So did the Medical Examiner's Office.

"There was only one person in this plane....No other passengers."said a crime scene investigator...

"Yeah the pilot was Black Businessman, Rance Gardener...

"I heard of him...Entreprenuer...Into a lot of things." said another CSI guy.

"Oh Yeah?" said another.

"Yeah..." said the CSI man.

"Oh My Godddd...he was nearly cremated in that explosion....The body is so badly charred we can't even make a proper identification." said Dr. Marcy Martin, coroner.

"Right now it's too hot to even get near the body, to pull it out of the plane."said Dr. Hazel Baylor, Coroner.

"GEEZ! I 've heard of this guy....He flies a lot...I wonder if he had been drinking?" asked Lt. Tragg.

"Only if that Thermos his wife gave him before he left had alcohol in it...She told me it was coffee." said an Airport technician...named Hank Jenkins.

"Where is the Thermos?" asked Lt. Tragg,

"Probably on that plane , all burnt to hell..At any rate...it's too hot to go in there for it now...gotta wait til the firemen wash this damn thing down..cool it off....Can't even get him out right now....Damnnnn, he's burnt beyond reconition."said Hank Jenkins.

In a courtroom across town, we were just finishing a trial.. By "we" I meant my wife, Attorney Olivia

Bennett-Alexander, Her niece, Beverly West-East, Her husband, Nelson East and Attorneys Josie Boyd and Bresha Billips...

Me? I'm Donnie Ray Alexander, her husband, a former New Orleans Homicide Detective...Now Investigator for her law firm...

We stood with our client, Joseph Tate, being charged with Second Degree Murder.

We had once again been facing Assistant District Attorney Don Diorgio, who was certain he had an airtight case and a big win...

"Has the jury come to a decision?" asked our favorite judge, Kelly Ann Mercer.

"Yes we have your honor." said the Jury Foreman.

The Jury Foreman passed the decision to the bailiff, who gave it to the Judge...She read it and smiled at us.. A Good Sign!

"Read it!" she said.

"WE THE JURORS IN THE MATTER OF COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA VS. JOSEPH TATE FIND THE DEFENDENT NOT GUILTY ON THE CHARGE OF SECOND DEGREE MURDER!!!!!!!"

"AWWWWW THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!" said Joseph Tate, hugging Olivia, a little longer than he needed to.

"You're uh quite welcome Joseph." said Olivia, struggling a little to get out of his embrace.

"Welll Niecey Poo..We did it again!" said Olivia.

" Yes we did...." said Beverly as they leaped into the air and high fived..

"WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" they both cheered...

Joseph hugged Beverly...

"OHHHHHHHHHHH THANK YOU...THANK YOUUUUUU!" Joseph moaned.

"OKAYYYYY! YOU'RE WELCOME!" Beverly said and also eased out of his embrace..

"Come here you." she said to me...

I smiled as she pulled me to her...

and kissed me slowly and softly..

"WHAT WOULD WE DO WITHOUT YOU?...MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!"she moaned

and our kissing got more passionate.

"Nellllllsonnnnnnnnnn, here I am." said Beverly...

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW LAWWWWWWWWD!" said Nelson.

He took Beverly in his arms and kissed her....

Both Nelson and I were going to have a rewarding time later tonight.

Our client, Joseph Tate looked on..."What lucky guys" he thought....It was no secret that he had crushes on both my wife and her niece all during the trial.

"Another nice win for our team...."said Josie , smiling..

"Yes...now let's go get something to eat..." said Bresha.

"Looks like your Boss and her niece need to go and get a room with their husbands.."said ADA Don Diorgio snidely to Josie and Bresha as he walked out of the courthouse...

Both Josie and Bresha stared at him and then looked at each other and smiled. They didn't say anything back to him.

Meanwhile at Northeast Airport, they had finally got the fire from the plane wreck down....

The emergency crews stood in wait...

The charred beyond recognition body of Rance Gardener...was wheeled out of the plane and put in a body bag that was strapped to the gurney....and wheeled away...It was still smoking.....

"I need an autopsy report done on this guy ASAP and on my desk.."said Lt. Tragg.

"It's going to take longer than usual...He's so badly burned...We are going to need dental records to make a positive ID..."said Hazel.

"What Positive ID, you know who the guy is.?" said Lt. Tragg.

"As with all cases we have to be positively certain...We'll do what we can...But we can't rush this..."said Dr. Marcy Martin.

Lt. Tragg stood there with a baleful stare on his face..

II-

It was a Friday and as usual on Friday Nights we were with all of our people in The No I.D. Bar, across the street from the Bridge Building where most of them worked.

"You guys were in court, but there was a big explosion out at Northeast Airport today... a small private plane belonging to Rance Gardener, the businessman." said Jazzy...

"WHATTTTTT? Rance Gardener, he was Rollie Rollerson's business partner for many years....I know him quite well....He gave me some great investment tips when I first started my law practice." said Olivia.

"I remember him well... He and Rollie had a falling out a few years back and they went their seperate ways." I said.

"Not too separate though....They had a few joint ventures...I worked with both of them."said Dabnis.

"Yeah Bev, didn't you and Nelson work with him too?" asked Kayla.

"No...Not me...That was Nelson and your husband...but I do remember him dropping by our Office a few times to talk to Auntay. Such a shame...." said Beverly.

"Yeah Nels...You remember when the three of us went to Miami on his Private Plane?" said Ray.

"Yeah, a couple of years ago.....Glad he was flying better that day than he was today." said Nelson.

"Oh For Sure!"laughed Ray.

"I was so envious of you two...I wanted to go."laughed Beverly...

"Yeah, I did too!" said Kayla.

"I'm not going to lie...I wanted to go too!" laughed Olivia.

"I heard the body was so badly charred in the rubble that they can't properly identify it."said Jessica.

"Yeah but who else would be flying his private plane, but him?" asked her husband Chip.

"Lt. Tragg was on the news today...He says foul play is suspected."said Karen Page.

"There he goes speaking out of term again....That's what gets him into trouble.." said her husband, B.L.

"Exactly....they haven't even formally identified the body yet."said Natalie.

"But who else would be flying his private plane but him?" asked David.

"Maybe it was a friend or associate...Problem is....The body is so badly burned they don't know who it is..They are just assuming it's Rance Gardener" said Brooke.

"Once they get Dental Records and DNA squared away...They'll know for sure." said Sean.

"Ouuu that must have been a gruesome scene." said Zoey...

"Yeah...That's why I studied law and not to be a Medical Examiner....which was my first choice.," said Lem.

"Are you serious?" asked Renee.

"Don't pay him any mind Renee....He's joking." said Zoey.

"Ohhhh!" said Tyrell,laughing.

"I remember Rance Gardener....He used to drop by our office."said Josie.

"I remember Nelson and Ray telling me that they represented him once and he flew them to Miami in his Private Plane..."said Paris.

"I know They're .glad he was flying better that day than he was today." said Bresha.

"I know that's right." said Tony.

"He took me out to dinner one or two times..."said Alfreda. "Before you and I hooked up.When I first became Olivia and Beverly's Office Manager." she added.

"Glad he didn't take you in his private plane." said Rockland...

"Ouuuuuuu that's not funny." laughed his wife, Alfreda.

"Such a shame about Rance Gardener....He was good friends with Mr. McCluskey and Mr. Cozen"said Yvette.

"WOWWWWW!"said Gary...

"I'll bet if we had been home we'd of heard the explosion."said Keith Jones.

"Or seen the smoke." said Bee Bee.

"I'm personally glad we missed both."said Sofia.

"Yeah , the smell of burning human skin is not pleasent."said Kahlil.

"No indeed!" agreed Jade.

Her husband, Danny Ho just smiled and shook his head.

"All in the course of a day." said Virginia.

"Yeah" agreed her husband, Jetty.

"We should call this wind down Fridays." said Nina Rios.

"Yeah, wind down Fridays..."said her boyfriend, Carlos.

"Stop staring at me like you want to rip my clothes off." said Lee.

"But I do want to rip your clothes off." said her boyfriend, Matthew.

"You'll have to wait until we get home for that....Horn Dog!" laughed Lee....

Millionaire Entrepreneur Rollie Rollerson walked into the No I.D. Bar... You could tell it was his first time in the Hip Bohemian establishment...He had a stunningly beautiful woman with him, who was not his wife....

She smiled.. She looked at home here...More at home than Rollie...

He saw Olivia sitting with her friends.. He smiled. They walked over to us...

"Hello Olivia...I remember you told me you hung out in here on Fridays......This is Rose Gardener, the widow of Rance Gardener... I suppose you've heard about the tragedy at the Northeast Airport today." he said solemnly...

"I'm just hearing about it....I am soooo sorry for your loss.." said Olivia to the widow.

"Thank You Olivia....but we were seperated...We had been for over a year....." said Rose Gardener.

"That's why I am here...Since they were still legally married at the time of death, There is an insurance policy that will kick in as well as properties and other monies.. I am going to pay you a retainer to represent her...."said Rollie.

"Well of course..." said Olivia.

"There is another more serious matter... Lt. Tragg is sniffing around, hinting that there may be foul play involved... Mrs. Gardener gave her estranged husband, a Thermos full of coffee before he took off..Tragg is trying to say the coffee may have been spiked or some nonsense.. I want her to be sufficiently represented legally before any nonsense begins."said Rollie.

"That goes without saying.."said Beverly.

"Hmmm I'm counting close to 40 people in your party.....Tell them to keep their credit or debit cards in their trousers or purses...Their present drinks are covered by me and the next round of drinks are covered by me." said Rollie.

"THANK YOU ROLLIE!" said Olivia..

"No Olivia...Thank You! We'll be by the office on Monday Morning." said Rollie, as he and the young lady left. "Nice place you got here."he said upon leaving.

Later that night....

We were all home, We had had a great night out .

Olivia and I retreated to our bedroom...

We were kissing like there was no tomorrow, right outside our bedroom door...

"OUUUUUUUUUU YOU ARE KISSING ME LIKE YOU WANT SOMETHING!" laughed Olivia.

"I DO!" I said and chuckled.

"Ummmmmmmm Donnie Rayyyyyy, Let's go in the bedroom and get undressed. so I can give it to you.." she cooed.

"OHHHHHHHHHH I CAN'T LET YOU GO!" I moaned...as Olivia, unloosened my tie and unbuttoned my shirt...

"You're going to have to let me go for a few minutes....Come on...Let's get undressed.." she cooed again...slipping out of my embrace for a minute...

We continued to kiss once in the bedroom.....I had her dress and her heels off....

She was down to her bra and panties...and we were still kissing...

''UMMMMMMMM We can rest....No trials on our dockett...I welcome the rest..." she cooed.

"I welcome it too!" I said as I unsnapped her bra and slipped it off...

I slipped her panties down....

"Ummmmmmmm you have the best panties and matching bras.." I said.

"Oh hush up silly...but I'm glad you notice." she laughed...

"Ummmmm Olivia, I want to screw your brains out..." I moaned..

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuu promises, promises.." she laughed...as we lie across our bed ,still kissing....

I flipped her over and entered her very soft wet center slowly..........

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...UMMMMMMMMMMMPH!!!" I moaned..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU DONNIE RAYYYYY...OUUUUUUUUUUUUUU YOU FEEL SO DAMN GOOODD!" she moaned..

"OHHHHHHH SO DO YOU BABY!" I said.. It was true.. Olivia was warm and wet and smelled like a new born baby...and was so soft...I was on the verge of cumming right away..

Her body began to tremble and her legs began to shake, her head turned from side to side and she began to cry like a baby....she was having a very quick and intense orgasm.....tears were just flowing down the sides of her face....

She wrapped her arms and legs around me and deep throat kissed me as I plunged into her..

"OHHHHHH MY GOD!! OUUUUUUUUU YOU ARE A HORSE....WOUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she moaned loudly...

She was so wet, it wasn't funny....I didn't know if I was coming or going....

She was smiling broadly as we made sweet love....

There was something about making love on a nice night like this.....that was very special...

EIGHT TO NINE HOURS SLID BY SLOWLY!!

Olivia lie peacefully on top of me, sleeping like a baby...I had a wide grin on my face as I held her and rubbed her butt.

Beverly was startled seeing Nelson , butt naked and as erect as a board in the bathroom ,behind her as she brushed her teeth for the night...She was washing her mouth out when she noticed him..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU, Look at you..." she laughed..softly fondling his erection....

"MYYYYYYYYYYYYYY GOODNESS! LOOK AT YOU WITH YOUR BIG OLE HARD SELF...OUUUUU!" she said and laughed..

"Ummmmmmm" Nelson Moaned silently...and took Beverly in his arms..

"You know I love you don't you?" he whispered in her ear...

"You'd better love me..all the nasty things I let you do to me.." she giggled..

He slipped her panties down....

Placed her petite body on the sink, spread her legs and entered her softly and slowly..

and thrusted inside of her soft , wet baby soft body...deep throat kissing her, both of them delirious...

"If I had had any idea of the nasty things you wanted to do to me when we were in the Public defenders office..." she said.

"You'd of run away." he laughed.

"Noooooooo, I'd of gave you some a whole lot sooner.." she said in all seriousnes..

"I never knew you were so ,so huge and so hard and so damn good in bed..."said Beverly....

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMPH, well you know it now.."said Nelson.

"I sure do....OUUUUUUUUUUUUUU, WOUUUUUUUUUUUUU!YES I DOOOOO!" she cooed..

He lifted her up and carried her to the bedroom.. Thrusting away slowly..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU....UMMMMMMMMMM, OH MY GODDDDD!" she screamed out....

Her scream went through the vent and woke Olivia up..

"My neice is so loud...Nelson must really be puttin it to her." she giggled..

I pulled her down to me..

"So why don't you put it on me?" I asked..

"I thought I did.." she laughed...

I reached under her night shirt...and slipped her panties off again.. and hurled them into a corner with her bra.

"SOME MOREEEE!" I said..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU, MYYY GOODNESS!" cooed Olivia.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU OHHHHHH MY GOD YOU ARE INSATIABLE!!! !!!!!she cooed...

"AWWWWWWWWWWWW LAWWWWD!" I moaned..

Olivia spread her legs wide open and eased herself down on me again..

She straddled me and began moving up and down on me again..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!! WEEEEEEEEEEEE! OUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she moaned....

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I moaned...

"OHHHHHHH MY GODDD!! YOU ARE SCREWING MY BRAINS OUT!" Olivia screamed..

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH OLIVIA...." I moaned as we made sweet love.....for the second time.

While downstairs... Nelson and Beverly were in the throes of passion in their bed..

making mad, passionate love for the next EIGHT TO NINE HOURS!

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUU, WOUUUUUUUUUUUUU!"moaned Beverly loudly..

"AWWWWWWWWWWWW, UMMMMMMMMM,OUUUUUUUUU GIRRRRRRL!" Nelson howled.

Beverly snuggled up under her husband....She was good and relaxed...She lie peacefully on top of Nelson and soon was, sleeping like a baby...Nelson ,like me had a wide grin on his face as he held her and rubbed her butt.

A Nice end to a great night.

III-

At The Medical Examiner's Office- Monday Morning.

"We found the Thermos...in the back of the plane.... Surprisingly enough ,it was half full of coffee..

The coffee was laced with a muscle relaxer and a chemical that induces sleep......"said Dr. Marcia

Martin.

"So he was poisoned eh?" said Lt. Tragg.

"Well on the surface it looks like that....but we still need to run a few more tests and we need to positively identify the body..."said Dr. Hazel Baylor.

"That's all I need..."said Lt. Tragg

"I want an all points bulletin out for the arrest of Mrs. Rose Gardenor...MURDER ONE!" he said as he rushed out of the Medical Examiner's Office.

"There he goes, half cocked again..." said Dr. Marcy Martin...

"He never listens to anyone." said Dr. Hazel Baylor.

TWO DAYS LATER-

Yvette, Rose and Olivia were at the Shopping Center in the Lingerie Store...

"It's a small world... I thought that was you that came in the No I.D. Bar the other day with Rollie Rollerson." said Yvette.

"Vettie, I recognized you....We haven't seen each other since our days at Lasalle University...."said Rosie Gardenor.

"It's truly a small world.Vettie and I met ,first day at Law School...University of Pennsylvania... We were both 22 years old and both of our mothers accompanied us to law school like we were freshmen or worse like we were entering high school... Both of us were mortified....and after our mothers left, we agreed to be roomies...

We were roomies the entire three years and became more than best friends..We became sisters."said Olivia.

"Olivia took me home with her sometimes.....Her Mother and Father adopted me as part of the family...

Her Mother taught me, Olivia, her niece, Beverly, who is like my niece, her cousin Kayla how to cook..I truly loved those Saturdays spent with her family.." said Yvette.

"My Older Brother,Jimmy, Beverly's father had the biggest crush on Yvette, Only coming around when I brought her over....Always ogling her...My Mom and I thought it was so funny..." said Olivia.

"I should have gone to law school like you guys did....but I got Married to my first husband, Floyd Jeter."said Rosie as the women looked at panties they were planning to buy.

"Floyd Jeter? I went on one of my three proms with him..." said Olivia.

"She's such a fly girl...One of her three proms...Listen at her."laughed Yvette.

"I know right? Some of us were lucky to go on one....I did go on two...One at my school and one at this other boy's school."laughed Rosie. "Yes ,Floyd and I were married for almost 10 years....He was a nice enough guy...It just didn't work out.." said Rosie.

"What's he doing now?" asked Olivia.

"He lives in Atlanta...and he's like you Liv, Big time Lawyer, has his own practice with four additional lawyers, an office manager and an investigator... Remarried....Happy. I should've stayed with him.

I remarried to Rance... and it was good for a year or two..." said Rosie.

"He had a wandering eye." said Yvette.

"Try a wandering Penis...He never met a woman who hje didn't think he should liberate from her bra and panties....I let a lot slide for awhile...After a time I just got sick of it and him. Believe it or not..We've remained friends somewhat....Even uh sleeping together occassionally."said Rosie.

"OOOOOOP! Ouuuuuuu girl you need to stop."laughed Olivia.

"OUUUUUUU!" laughed Yvette...looking over a few pieces she was thinking about buying.

Just then Lt. Tragg, Sgt. Pike and a throng of Policemen walked into the Lingerie store.

"Rose Gardenor, you are under arrest for the murder of your husband, Rance Gardenor, you have the right to remain silent...Anything and Everything you say from here on in can be and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney...If you can't afford one, one will be provided for you... I see you're standing in between two of the city's best, so that should be no problem for you...Do you understand these rights as I am reading them to you?" asked Lt. Tragg.

"Yes, I do." said an embarrassed Rose Gardenor...

"Sgt. Pike, hook her up." said Lt. Tragg.

Sgt. Pike handcuffed her and along with the other policemen ,

escorted her out as other customers looked on.

He looked at Olivia and Yvette and smiled.

"Good Day ladies...uh happy hunting." he said with a salacious smirk..

looking at the display and then at the two of them and walking out.

''Well Olivia, looks like your work is all cut out for you." said Yvette.

"Yeah, back to the courtroom." sighed Olivia, whose group had just finished a trial.

IV-

That afternoon at our Office/Duplex, Olivia called an emergency meeting.

We all gathered around the conference room table.

"I'm sorry to call you all here after I gave you all the day off...but the other shoe has dropped, Rosie Gardenor has been arrested and charged with murdering her husband."said Olivia.

"MURDER? He was killed in a plane crash." I said.

"According to the charging document....There is evidence his coffee was spiked with muscle relaxers and some chemical that induced sleep."said Olivia.

"So once again, Lt. Tragg has jumped to a conclusion with very little evidence."said Beverly....

She noticed how her husband, Nelson was staring at her and smiling....

"Damnnnn girl..." he said under his breath....

Beverly smiled while blushing somewhat at the attention she was getting from her husband...Attention that had nothing to do with the case at hand.

"I suppose we have to find a court date....for Night Court of course.... It's tomorrow night.. We'd better hurry up." said Josie.

"I need to get a list of Charactor witnesses together." said Bresha.

"I'll call Rollie....He can get you that." said Olivia.

"Wow...seems like you guys just got out of court." said Alfreda.

At The Medical Examiner's Office-

"The Body appears to be shorter than Rance Gardener's reported height." said Dr. Hazel Baylor..

"Because of the extreme heat...the body may have shrunk a few inches....."said Dr. Marcy Martin.

"His Dentist is on vacation....I put in a call to him to get those dental records to us ASAP...That will help us make a positive ID of this body." said Doc Gibbons.
