The Ghost Of C.W. Mapp


 My wife Natalie, Her bestie Brooke , Myself and Renee Cantrell -Jones all found ourselves in court on the same day and found ourselves having a late breakfast at Sam Mother's Diner.


Brooke, Natalie and Renee ordered the Special which was French Toast



with Hash Browns 
and Sausage,
While I had an Omelette with hash Browns and Sausage.


"Did you see those posters outside- Bruce Greene for District Attorney?" asked Natalie as she ate her food.

"I saw em....I tried to ignore them.."I laughed.
"I shudder at the thought of him possibly being my boss." said Brooke.

"I wouldn't worry, I hear Gil Garcetti has a considerable lead in the polls right now."said Renee.

As if on cue, Bruce Greene walked into the diner.....

''Wellllll look who it is...Good Morning Mrs. Cantrell-Jones, he said finally acknowledging that Renee was married. Mr. and Mrs. Charles and Mrs. Marks...How are you?" he said..Sounding like a politician..


"Bruce, get those posters off of the front of my diner...I don't allow anybody to post bills or advertisements on this diner." Yelled an angry Sam Mother from behind the counter.

"As you know I am running for District Attorney..."said Bruce Greene, ignoring Sam Mother.

"Yes we heard....The thought frightens us." said Brooke.

We all howled with laughter....


''Don't tell me you all are voting for Gil Garcetti?" he laughed.


"I'd vote for anyone over you." laughed Natalie ,completely serious.

Which brought about more laughter.....


''Well go ahead and laugh because once I'm elected, I intend to end that Wrongful Conviction,Conviction Integrity group and transfer the three of you and your boss back to working as full time Assistant District Attorneys...and take over that office space as my second office...." said Bruce.


''All the more reason we aren't voting for you." I said.
"If you win, I'll resign..."said Brooke...completely serious.



"And so will I....The Wrongful Conviction/Conviction Integrity section is the only reason Brooke and me are still with the D.A.'s Office...We were going to resign when Gil gave us this assignment. He said he valued us too  much to lose us."said Natalie.


"Well that's Gil's thing... I'll be doing things my own way...."said Bruce.


"Yeah that's what we are afraid of..."I said and we all laughed....

Bruce looked at Renee...

"Renee, I've always thought of you as an independent thinker..." he said.


"After what you put my husband through.....They couldn't pay me to vote for you."said Renee non-chalantly.....


We continued eating our food....and ignored him...
Bruce got the message, he walked away, went outside and removed his campaign posters...tossed them into the back of his car and drove off..

An Attractive Black Woman sat behind us...We didn't notice her, but she heard our entire exchange with Bruce Greene and she laughed heartedly....

"Ohhh Bruce, you just don't know....When I get through with you....You won't be able to run for Meter maid...hahahahahahahahaha." she laughed.


II-


COURTROOM A-


 Court had just let out...Olivia , Beverly and their team had just won an acquittal of yet another case....

"Well guys, we've done it again huh?" said Olivia.
 
"Yeah looks like it.." said Donnie Ray....


''Wow we come back from a destination wedding in Cancun and win a big case....How nice.."said Beverly.
"I'm looking forward to a few days of rest and relaxation..." said Nelson.

"Yeah me too....I'm pooped from having a good time and from working too hard." said Josie.

"Me too!"laughed Bresha..


Naturally they met the press , who was asking them questions about the case.... As they fielded questions to the press.

COURTROOM B-

The Courtroom next to theirs had let out...It was a  rarity, but Yvette Jones-Lockwood and her team had also just completed a case.. 

 "Once again, I'm very proud of you guys...We come home and we knocked it out of the box...We got an acquittal for our client." said Yvette.

"I didn't think we'd be in court this soon..but work calls.. We did have a big mini-vacay."said Keith Jones.
''Wow we come back from a destination wedding in Cancun and win a big case....How nice.."said Bee Bee.
"Look, there is Olivia and Beverly...They were in the courtroom next door to us..."said Sofia.
"Wow, what's the odds of that?"laughed Kahlil..
Jade smiled.


The Press mobbed them just as they mobbed Olivia, Beverly and their crew and asked them questions..

Before they could leave...Assistant District Attorney Bruce Greene appeared..

"Gentlemen, as you know these are fine attorneys...all masters of their craft, but they use every legal loophole , every trick in the book to get acquittals... and that is because they are facing inferior and undisciplined ADA's..When I am District Attorney, I will be grading each ADA on their efficiency and their results...I'll be requiring them to take refresher courses in law.... I'm going to run a tight ship.."said Bruce Greene.


"You yourself have lost several times to both of these teams...Were you not disciplined Mr. Greene?" asked one reporter...

Bruce Greene was as red as a beet...He looked like he'd swallowed a canary.....


"IS IT TRUE THAT NONE OF YOUR COLLEAGUES ARE SUPPORTING YOU?" asked another reporter...

"MISTER GREENE ,some disturbing stories have risen that you may have had a hand in your wife's death..that you had more than a casual relationship with her killer C.W. Mapp, is that true?" asked another reporter..

"Did you have your wife killed and then kill her killer Mr. Greene.?" asked another reporter..

"WHERE IS THIS COMING FROM?" asked an astonished Bruce Greene....
THE BRIDGE BUILDING-


It was Lunch time , We were all watching the entire thing on the television monitor in our cafeteria....

"OH MY GOD!! THEY ARE KILLING HIM!" laughed Jazzy...
 
"A-HAAAAAAAAAAAAA,HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA, I'LL BET HE DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING!"laughed Dabnis.


"OH MY GOD!!! TALK ABOUT AN AMBUSH!"laughed Kayla...
"DAMNNNNN, OLE BOY IS GETTING KILLED!"laughed Ray....


"AYE MIOS DIOS....They are killing him."laughed Jessica.


"Yeah like he killed C.W. Mapp."laughed Chip.


"You know he was never accused of that or indicted."said Karen in his defense.. 

"Yeah but it always seemed kind of suspect......I remember....It's been two years now and I was never satisfied that this guy killed his wife and then offed himself."said B.L.


"And how convenient...They found a photo of her in her panties and bra lying beside him....It was a little too neat." said Natalie.


"You think Bruce is capable of killing someone or having someone killed?" I asked.

"He's got a very big ego...I don't know." said Brooke.

"He is a big jerk...but a murderer..I don't know." said Sean.

"Well what do you think Tyrell? After all you were on trial for her murder....It all seemed like a set up."said Zoey.
"You were having an affair with her." said Lem..


"And he knew it all along...In the trial it came out that he had a Private Investigator following his wife the whole time." said Tyrell.


"And she was shot as soon as she left your apartment..She didn't make it down the street."said Renee.


"He had sent C.W. Mapp to prison for a few years and he was recently released..Like most ex-cons he needed money...Two withdrawals of $1500.00 dollars was taken out of Bruce Greene's bank account.
and a deposit of $3000.00 dollars was made to C.W. Mapp's account. He wasn't working...It was never explained where that money came from." said Tyrell.


"He couldn't explain it since he was dead." said Paris.
"A man deposits a large sum of money in his account and then kills himself ,It just doesn't play."said Tony.

"These are questions that should have been asked of Bruce Greene , a long time ago..."said Lee Phillips.

"But Nobody ever asked...They are asking now."said Nina..

''And what a time to be asking...When he's running for D.A."laughed her husband, Carlos.



Lt. Tragg was howling with laughter...He had been watching the news report at Judge Kelly Ann Mercer's loft.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAH! It sure feels good to see somebody else get ambushed by those reporters..
They certainly have done it to me enough...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"he laughed.

"Oh Arthur that's not nice!"said Kelly Ann....



Bruce Greene sat in Curley's Bar tonight...Alone...He was livid...He had had the worst day of his campaign.. Ambushed by reporters on Television like that..



"I tell you Curley...This is Gil Garcetti....He planted those questions in those reporters minds..He's trying to railroad my campaign,....This is a hit job engineered by him." he said.

"Awww Bruce you don't know that." said Curley...

He was tired of Bruce whining and complaining....He almost wished Lt. Tragg was here to get into a bar room brawl.....

III-





THAT NIGHT AT HOME!
"What of you think of Bruce Greene eventually being our boss?" asked Natalie.
"You heard his plans for us if he wins....And if he wins, I'd resign right away." I said.

"You, me and Brooke."said Natalie..


"Jessica Sanchez said we could always come and work for the Innocence Project if we ever left Wrongful Conviction.."I said.


"God Bless her...It's Boss Lady I'd be worried about."said Natalie...



"Bruce isn't going to win...The other ADA's hate him...They aren't supporting him...I'm not worried." I said.


"Look,.I'm  very horny, I hope you are too!" laughed Natalie., changing the subject...

"Oh I am...I'm as horny as hell." I said.

"You always are when you're alone with me." said Natalie.

"It's nice that we both are." I said.




I unsnapped her bra...

"See?" she said.

"OHHH MY GODDDDDDD!" I said.. She looked so sexy.....

"Look at youuuuuuu...OUUUUUUUUUUU!" laughed Natalie ,softly fondling me....


and slipped her panties off...

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

"Yeah, how about that?" I said.  "MYYYYYYYY GOOODNESS!!!  Damnnn girl, you look good!" I said, just looking at her.

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

"I love you David."she whispered.

"I love you too Natalie. I'm so turned on I can't think straight" I whispered to her..

"It's okay......It's okayyyyyy!" she said sweetly....


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...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU HUSBAND!" she cried out..

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW LAWWWWWWD!" I moaned...

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM DAVID...IS IT GOOD TO YOU? IS IT GOOD TO YOU BABY?" she screamed as I thrusted away...

"YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS....OH YESSSSSSSS!" I practically screamed.

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! I'M GlADDD! OUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she moaned.
"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....DAVID.....OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!"Natalie finally moaned loudly.....She was having another intense orgasm!!!!

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


"YOU'RE DRIVING ME CRAZY! THIS IS WHY YOU'RE MY HUSBAND!! OUUUUUUUUUU OH MY GOD!!! THIS IS WHY YOU'RE MY SWEET MANNNNN" she said...."OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she moaned. Her body trembled and her head turned from side to side...Tears streamed down the side of her face...


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...

She snuggled in the crook of my arms...

"I'm glad I make you happy." she whispered and smiled at me....

"I'm glad you do too!" I whispered as we both dozed off.




Next Door at Brooke and Sean's house..

''I don't want to think of Bruce Greene being my boss.I'll resign."said Brooke.

"That seems to be the sentiment of all of the ADA's...They hate him...and I got that on good word." said Sean...
"He is such a petty Ego maniacal prick" said Brooke,smiling.

"Ouuuuu listen at you....Tell me how you really feel." said Sean,

"He's so caught up in his own self importance." laughed Brooke.
"Forget about him.Le's get him out of our bedroom...."laughed Sean...


"Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww...You're the only man I want in our bedroom." said Brooke.

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

"EXACTLY!" he said.

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

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

"AWWWWWWWWW LAWWWWD!" he exclaimed.

Brooke giggled.
"I'm taking your clothes off."said Sean..

"I'm not resisting.." she whispered as they continued to kiss.

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.


A Nice night for us....



A few blocks away....






Deputy District Attorney Lester Burke was walking hand and hand with the new Director of the Public Defender's Office, Natika Sommers...a woman he once cultivated...

Bruce Greene sat in his car across the street watching them...He was seething...Natika was once a woman he wanted for himself, the brief time she worked in the D.A.'s Office and his present supervisor
Lester had stolen her from him...When he was D.A. he was going to fire Lester....That was the first thing he was going to do...

I realize a number of people listen to you on the radio and watch your show on TV as well as your podcasts and this is the perfect media for me to get my message of disciplined prosecution of the criminal element to the citizens of Philadelphia.." said Bruce Greene.

"What people really want to know about is rumors that you had your wife killed and you set up her young lover for the crime...while paying he real killer, a man named C.W. Mapp  $1500.00 dollars before the job and $1500.00 after the job....and then killing him and making it look like a suicide, is that true?" asked Monica Seales.

"That's right Brucie...I'm gonna take it all away from you...Everything!" she laughed.
