VENTURES: Whipper Snappers

COURTHOUSE WAITING AREA-MONDAY MORNING! 8:30 AM.

"COFFEE'S EVERYONE!" said Serendipity...She and Lee had gone to the coffee shop down the street and gotten coffee for all of us.

"Get it while it's hot!" said a smiling Lee,passing the coffees to us...

" Ouuuuuu thank you ladies..."said Natalie.

"Just what the doctor ordered for a Monday Morning." I said.

"An Early Monday Morning with no breakfast." said Brooke.

''A Lawyers life."laughed Sean.

"Olivia, Beverly, Jazzy and Nelson used to tell me all the times when they were Public defenders how many a trial day began like this....With no breakfast...Going straight to trial."said Karen.

"Thanks for the Coffee ladies."said Gary.

"It was like that for Natalie, Brooke, David , Chip and me when we were Public Defenders too!"said Jessica.

"Yeah, I remember...We are all so spoiled now."laughed Chip.

Bruce Greene walked into the courthouse....He looked a bit perturbed...He walked over to Serendipity and grabbed her arm...

"HEYYYYYYY WATCH IT! YOU ALMOST MADE ME SPILL MY COFFEE!" she said. "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU, GRABBING ME LIKE THAT?" she said.

"WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME? WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME? I'LL TELL YOU...First off...I've called you 167 times since our date at Gazspachos....What is it with you not answering your phone? And then turning it off and disabling the GPS?" he snarled.

"That was a bit much.....Did it ever occur to you that I'm an Attorney just like you and I need my rest before a big trial....I was trying to sleep and you kept calling...What did you want anyway?" she answered..

"AND WHAT IS IT WITH YOU ,GETTING UP AND LEAVING WITHOUT SAYING GOODBYE?" he asked.

"I'd rather go home so I can lay out my clothes for the next day and shower in my own shower....It makes getting to trial so much easier..and wait a minute,I don't have to explain myself to you...YOU'RE NOT MY MAN!" she said angrily...

''Well from now on I want accountibility."he snarled.

"WHAT? You are out of your damn mind!" said Serendipity...She pulled away from him and walked away.

"Ugh Oh...Looks like there is trouble in paradise." I said.

"I wouldn't call any scenario with Bruce Greene paradise." said Natalie dryly...

"He keeps this up and he won't be getting in any panties tonight."laughed Sean..

"It's a miracle he got in them period!" said Brooke.

Karen cracked up laughing....

Assistant District Attorney Farley Davidson walked in and headed straight to the courtroom...

"I remember that guy from when I was a cop...I thought he was dead!" said Gary Lockwood.

"I remember him from when I was a Public defender...I thought so too." said Chip..

"Well, He looks very alive to me." I said.

Natalie busted out laughing......

Lee , Brooke and Karen laughed too...

"Come on guys...let's head into court..." said Karen.. She looked at Serendipity...

"Everything alright?" she asked.

"Yes...just fine."said Serendipity.

Serendipity joined us..

As Bruce Greene stood staring balefully.

II-

"Good Morning Attorneys and Potential Jurors...I am Judge Michael King.. I am familliar with some of you and others I am not. This is beginning to sound like a broken record but Welcome to my courtroom...This is the retrial of a very strange case. There is no need for a prelim in ary hearing, So we are going to go straight to trial.. We will have Jury selection today...I'll be out tomorrow..So Wednesday we will begin with trial." said Judge King.. "We will start today with introductions.." he said.

"Mike, I mean your honor...We've known each other for a long time, Assistant District Attorney Farley Davidson.." he said.

"Yes, we do go back awhile." said Judge Michael King...

"Attorney Karen Page for the defense your honor."said Karen.

"Attorney Natalie Charles for the Defense your honor." said Natalie.

"Attorney David Charles for the Defense." I said.

"Attorney Brooke Marks for the Defense your honor."said Brooke.

"Attorney Sean Marks for the defense your honor." said Sean...

''Attorney Jessica Sanchez-Burrows for the defense your honor."said Jessica.

''Attorney Charles Burrows for the Defense your honor."said Chip.

"Attorney Lee Phillips for the defense your honor."said Lee...

"Attorney Serendipity Harper for the defense your honor." said Serendipity...

"My My My...The defense is loaded...."laughed Judge Michael King.... " Uh Ms. Harper are you by chance Judge Thelma Harper's daughter?" he asked.

"I am your honor..." said Serendipity...

"I know your mother...She's a fine lawyer and judge...I trust that you will take after her......Alright...let's get on with Juror selection." he said.

Natalie and Brooke did their thing....They knew the jurors they wanted....They had studied the juror pool in Ms. Yvette's Office and at Olivia and Beverly's house...They had pointed questions and objections...

But so did Farley Davidson , who equally had pointed questions and objections.. They worked out a

7-5 split, going our way......

"Some of these Attorneys were in diapers when I was passing the bar....My goodness they are young." he thought.

Our client, Owen McCandles looked hopeful...He loved his new legal team...They were younger and more energetic and fearless than his last two Public Defenders...He knew we planned an aggressive defense.

"Alright We have a Jury. Trial will begin promptly Wednesday Morning at 9:00 AM, Jurors and Attorneys be on time and be ready for trial. You are dismissed said Judge King.

We all filed out of court....

Bruce Greene was standing by the courtroom door.

"Serendipity, I'd like a word with you!!" he said sternly...

"I don't have anything more to say to you." she said and pulled her arm away...

"Hey ,I'm sorry I yanked on your arm and spoke to you rather sternly and I'm sorry I've called so much...It's just that....It's just that...I'm hooked on you....You are soooo damn sexy and good ,I am losing my mind over you." he said.

"Oh Bruce just calm yourself down...Trust me...I'm not all that....Now relax...Maybe I'll see you later." said Serendipity ,managing a smile.

JOSIE'S BAR - THAT NIGHT!

It was a rare Monday Night that we were all out...but a number of us felt like some entertainment and cold drinks tonight.

Even on a Monday Night, Josie's was packed.

Drinks were plentiful....

Despite the crowd, we all managed to find our little space with tables to accomodate us..

"This was a nice night to be out... Our building is closed tomorrow for maintenance...So since we didn't have to go to work...Why not hang out?" said Jazzy.

"I know...we have to find a place to eat tomorrow morning and afternoon."said Dabnis.

"We can go out to Sam Mother's Diner like we used to do."said Kayla.

"Yeah." laughed Ray. "We won't be up for breakfast, ha ha..."he laughed,.

"I was getting ready to say we'd be in court, but we won't be." said Jessica.

"Not tomorrow."laughed Chip...

"Well let's enjoy tonight and get a nice rest." said Karen...

"How Lucky you guys are...I gotta work."laughed B.L.

"Did you turn your phone off and disable the GPS?" asked Natalie.

"I did .It's locked in Olivia's safe. I've got a burner phone and I gave my number to Owen McCandles before he was sent back to the Correctional Facility if he needs me." said Serendipity.

"Did you give the number of the burner phone to your mother?" I asked.

"Olivia called her and Deke ."said Serendipity.

"Good...Bruce Greene will probably be trying to contact you and find you"said Brooke.

"I'm staying with Natika tonight." said Serendipity...

"Good...He'll be losing his mind ." said Sean.

"If I know right....He'll be paying Olivia a visit."laughed Zoey.

"I don't think he'll come in here."said Lem...

"I sure hope not." said Renee.

"Me too!" said Tyrell.

''He doesn't have a clue as to where I am."said Serendipity. She wanted to get some sleep tonight.

"Poor Serendipity." said Lee.

"She'll be alright." said Matthew.

"Thank you Olivia for your hospitality and for acting as a go between between me and my mom!" said Serendipity.

"Oh you're welcome baby." said Olivia.

"You need to make a better choice in men."said Donnie Ray jokingly.

"You joke, but you're right."said Serendipity. She was torn between despising Bruce for his persnicketies and self absorption...and yet liking him a little bit.

"It'll be alright."said Beverly...

"Yeah..."said her husband, Nelson.

"Isn't that funny...We have to work tomorrow and all of our friends are off."said Josie.

"Our building closes every month one day for complete maintenance.."said Paris.

"So this is like a holiday huh?" said Bresha,laughing.

"Yeah..."laughed her husband, Tony.

" Gotta love it."said Alfreda.

"Those of us who have to work don't love it."laughed Rockland.

"I know right? My building is open.." said Nina.

"I know."said Carlos.

"Move to our building and you can enjoy it too!" said Yvette.

"I'm glad I'm working there this week..."laughed Gary...

"I'm glad you are too!" said Yvette, who was sitting on his lap..

She leaned over and kissed him softly....

Soon they were engulfed in a sensuous kiss...

"This is like a holiday...I look forward to this day every month...It means I can sleep late tomorrow." said Keith Jones.

"It's nice we have a place like Josie's in our neighborhood to hang out."said Bee Bee,.

"It feels like a Friday Night."laughed Sofia.

"It does.." said Kahlil.

"Sorry you have to work tomorrow baby."said Jade to her husband, Lt. Danny Ho.

"Yeah I'm pissed."joked Danny Ho.

"I'm welcoming tomorrow...A day of rest..."said Virginia.

"Yessssss!"laughed Jetty.

a good night was had by all....

Bruce Greene called Serendipity 125 times without an answer...The phone went to voicemail..

He couldn't track her GPS...It had been disabled. He was livid!!! and Horny.

He stopped by Olivia and Beverly's house... Serendipity's car was gone and there was no sign that she was in their sub-basement apartment...or that Olivia, her husband, Beverly and her husband were home.

The lights were off in all of the houses across the street too.... That meant that they all were out somewhere tonight...A Monday Night at that.

He stopped by the No I.D. Bar....There was a small crowd of hipsters there but no sign of the crowd that usually hung out here..

He stopped by Aqua Bar

and Stoleys....Nothing..

And by the time he stopped in Josie's, we had all left and gone home...Most of us on foot.

Serendipity's car was in the indoor parking lot of the building both her mother and Natika lived in and She was enjoying a comfortable night's rest in Natika's spare room...with no phone pinging...

The next morning...

The next morning,. Bruce Greene stopped by the Bridge Building, only to find it was closed for the day..Which was why everyone was out somewhere last night...They knew they didn't have to work today!!!!

He angrilly kicked a trash can outside the building until it dented and he jumped up and down like a spoiled four year old.

III-

WEDNESDAY- DAY ONE OF THE McCANDLES RETRIAL-

ADA Farley Davidson had been around the block a few times...He was a wiley Attorney who knew how to tell a story and how to talk to a jury..He was Folksy, yet articulate...

He showed the jury photos of the dead baby for shock value and then he called several of the cops and the detective at the scene as his witnesses..

On Cross, Brooke and Natalie took apart their original statements and current statements like surgeons...and showed up several contradictory statements...

Farley hadn't expected that....He called the Midwife and another neighbor who had "witnessed" the whole thing..

With Sean , we took apart their stories ..We had studied their statements and compared them to their statements now...It was apparent that these so called witnesses had witnessed nothing. Everything they said they had witnessed was all second and third hand...Neighborhood gossip.They had changed their stories a number of times and we exposed their inconsistencies in court.

By day three, the case that Farley Davidson had argued was falling apart.. He knew it...and he didn't like it. He hadn't expected this... He thought we were young green attorneys, Whipper Snappers , who he could out wit, outsmart and intimidate...He found it was the exact opposite...And his frustration was growing and showing.

Jessica ,Lee and Chip's many objections and their citation of laws, predicates and simular case laws was both confounding and enraging Farley Davidson-

Farley Davidson further felt betrayed by his old friend Judge Michael King....

who was given no choice but to rule in our favor time and again....

Owen McCandles knew he wasn't out of the woods yet, but he felt better each and everyday... He knew his legal team was fighting hard for him...First we got his death sentence voided ,days before his execution and we were fighting like hell and frustrating the wiley prosecutor who sent him to death row in the first place.

Things were looking up.

Farley Davidson nearly asked for jury nullification in his closing statement.. He knew right then and there that he had completely lost the jury...He was as red as a beet....Almost in tears.

Karen and Serendipity began their defense....We had done the groundwork of weakening the prosecution's case...Now they had to mount a defense and they both did..and did well...Both giving riveting opening statements.

Serendipity's mother, Judge Thelma Harper sat in court in the visitor's section on our first day of defense..

Karen gave an opening statement in which she said that no crime had been committed at all, that this had been a big misunderstanding...

Farley Davidson sat back and openly laughed..

Serendipity attempted to bring medical evidence to the contrary...

Farley Davidson objected everytime she attempted to bring it up..

Jessica, Lee, Natalie and Brooke argued vehemently that it should be admissable and was tantamount to the defense..They cited Simular Case laws and Predicates.

Judge Thelma Harper sat in the visitors section so impressed by the lawyers arguing for the defense and so proud of her daughter.

She knew old Farley Davidson....This was the first time she'd seen him so ill prepared and flustered.

Judge Michael King had no choice but to agree with us and allow the testimony.

Serendipity gave a brilliant synopsis of what happened in the hospital on the day of Baby McCandles Death... She produced two autopsies , One done during the first trial that was never allowed to be submitted and one done after the trial that both said the baby died from Pneumonia...There was no sign of the brain trauma that accompanied Shaken Baby Syndrome....

with Sean and Chip, we brought in two doctors and a coroner who performed the last autopsy who gave their testimony to the jury that the child died of pneumonia...There was no brain trauma and that this Shaken Baby syndrome was nonsense and sensationalism created by the news media and one reporter in particular.

Serendipity gave the closing statement in which she said that two years of a man's life had been taken from him and he had almost lost his life because of one reporter who said this case was Shaken Baby Syndrome without proof or any medical knowledge... Unfortunately ,that reporter was now deceased and couldn't be brought to task for his wild story which caught on and both titilated and enraged the public into a feeding frenzy.

And with that...We closed our case...

"It's Friday.....I admonish you jurors not to talk about this case amongst yourselves...Deliberations will begin on Monday Morning... Court is dismissed...

It was the end of a long case.

Farley Davidson looked as if he'd aged during the trial..

"I think this is it...I'm no match for these young whipper snappers today,." he sighed...

FRIDAY NIGHT- THE NO ID BAR-

That night we all met at the No I.D. Bar for a little celebration...The end of the case.. The Jury deliberated on Monday...We were sure they would rule in our favor.. Maybe a little over confident...but we had done a very good job...Presented a very aggressive defense.

"We thought we'd give you guys a little celebration, celebrating the end of your case."said Olivia.

"I know it's early, but I can't see how that jury can decide anything other than Not Guilty after the defense you guys put up." said Donnie Ray.

"I hope you're right...I hope we aren't jinxing ourselves."said Natalie.

Beverly hugged her.. "I've gone up against you and Brookie in four seperate trials...I know how tough and thorough you guys are." said Beverly..

"Thank you Bev....Coming from you that's a compliment..."said Brooke.

"You guys put up the best defense possible...You kept him from being executed and even if he is convicted again, I seriously doubt the death penalty would be on the table....Of course he's going to be acquitted on Monday....We all know that." said Nelson.

"Yes, think positive."said Josie.

''And here comes our other honoree now."said Paris.

Serendipity walked in.....We all clapped and whistled...She smiled.

"You guys are something else...You hang out in the coolest bars too, Josie's, Aqua Bar, This place."sge said.

"And we hope after you get situated....You come back and hang with us some more."said Bresha.

"Yeah don't be like Natika...An old stick in the mud, we never see her."joked Tony...

Natika was here also tonight.

"Heyyyyyyyy I've been busy....You know I love you all." she said.

Her boyfriend, DDA Lester Burke was not present..

"Have a seat...There is plenty of food and drink for everyone.."said Alfreda.

"Yes... Belly up."said Rockland.

"It's so nice to see you both here tonight." said Nina.

"The More , the merrier."said Nina's husband, Carlos.

"Oh this is soooo cool." said Serendipity...

"I look forward to working with you soon....Deke has loaned you out to me." said Yvette.

"My work with Karen and the crew is just about over."said Gary.

Keith Jones was busy making a plate for him and Bee Bee with Sandwiches and Cole Slaw..

"Don't forget that pasta too, I love that." said Bee Bee.

"I love these get togethers like this." said Sofia.

"So do I." said Kahlil.

"That's what makes our group so special.." said Jade.

"Yup." said her husband, Danny Ho, hugging her.

"Both of you, get some food. There is enough for all of us." said Virginia.

''And then some."said Jetty.

''With this trial nearly over, you can do some house or apartment hunting." said Jazzy.

"Have you started looking?" asked Dabnis.

"I like your area......You have three shopping centers...A Nice Multiplex Movie Theatre...Great clubs, I mean, Josie's, Aqua Bar, Stoleys, The Mermaid Club....Transportation, Great Restaraunts...I mean you can't beat it." said Serendipity...

"Talk to our realtor, Mrs. Sepia Morris."said Kayla.

"Yeah, she'll find you a nice place." said Ray.

"You'll be fine..."said Jessica.

"You've got a new job where you're a Senior Associate, We've Just about wrapped this case up...Take the rest of the week to get set up with living quarters ." said Chip.

"You've done a fantastic job...You deserve the time to look for a place to live...We thank you!"said Karen.

"Oh You're Welcome...It was my pleasure working with you guys...This was a landmark case." said Serendipity.

"I want you on my show sometime in the next few weeks." said B.L.

"He'll make you a star girlie.."laughed Natalie.

''We'll help you move your things...and give you a house warming party." I said.

"Oh they give the best house warming parties...They gave me one." said Natika.

"Yes we did."laughed Brooke.

"It was so cool." said Sean..

"Yes , Lem and I had one too!"said Zoey...

"It was a lot less people in our group then...but it was still very nice."said Lem.

"Oh well I really look forward to this."laughed Serendipity.

"Well first you gotta find a nice place ." said Renee...

"Actually, first They gotta wait until Monday when the jury deliberates."said Tyrell.

"I hope they deliberate quickly and don't keep us waiting." said Lee.

"I know..." said Matthew.

There was plenty of drinks, Mouth watering Martinis...

Cold, Cold Beers...

Drinks were plentiful as usual..

The NO I.D. BAR staff allowed Olivia and Alfreda's Catering Business to supply us with cold cuts and cheese and condiments as well as Hard Rolls, Mustard and Mayonnaise for sandwiches ...Creamy Pasta Salad and Cole Slaw..

We were good customers ,so they allowed us to section off that part of the bar that we all congregated in to ourselves.

We partied until closing time at 1:00 AM...

The Two buses carrying most of us and the catering van all pulled off.

Serendipity returned to Olivia and Beverly's Office/ Duplex in her car..

It had been a good day and an even better night...

Serendipity, back in the sub-basement apartment was preparing to get undressed for a peaceful sleep.

There was a knock on her door...She went to the door..

It was Bruce Greene!!!

"You don't give up do you? What do you want?" she whispered.

"Nice place Olivia and Beverly have here...I am told Olivia and her husband and Beverly and her husband live upstairs and their law office is below them...Nice! She could rent this room out if she waned to...I suspect the B-Mechanic lived in this space when it was simply a Duplex, before they bought it." he observed.

"What do you want?" she asked again.

"YOU!" he said.

He took her in his arms and kissed her slowly and softly....

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! ARE YOU HORNY?" she moaned.

"VERY? I HAVE BEEN FOR THE PAST FEW DAYS!" he said.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!"she cooed.

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" he moaned.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she moaned.

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....AWWWWWWWWWWW LAWD!" he said as he helped her out of her clothes...

She had been out drinking , She was horny....as usual......And he was here..

He unhooked her bra....

and slipped her panties down...

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....AWWWWWWWWWWW LAWD!" he said

He laid her across her bed and spread her legs and entered her slowly, softly....

" YOU DIDN'T EVEN LET ME TURN THE COVERS DOWN!" she said.

"WE DON'T NEED TO!" he said.

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

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

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

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUU IT FEELS GOOD...IT FEELS GOOOD! IT FEEEELS GOOOOOD TONIGHT!" she cried out..

"OH MY GOD!! OH MY GOD!! OUUUUUUUUUUUU BRUCE,OH MY GODDDD!" she moaned as he stroked her with wild abandon..."OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she cried out...

She wrapped her arms around his neck and opened her legs even wider...She was soft and wet and smelled so good.

Bruce didn't know if he was coming or going at this point.!

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW LAWWWWWWD!" he moaned...

They began making sweet sweet love......"OHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!! OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU BRUCE!!UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM" she moaned..as the bed rocked and squeaked louder than it had since they'd begun making sweet love... The headboard creaked and sounded like it might split in half...

".Oh my goddd this is sooooooooo damn good..OH MY DAMNNN!!!!" he moaned...

"BRUCE! OHHHHHH MYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!" she screamed out....

The bed squeaked even louder...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she cooed. She had yet another intense orgasm , that had her crying like a school girl, had her head turning from side to side and had her legs trembling...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUU WHYYYYYYY?? WHYYYYYY?? WHY DO YOU HAVE TO DO IT TO ME SO DAMN GOOD???OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! SERENDIPITY, AWWWWWWWWW LAWWWWD WHYYYYY?" he cried out.. The headboard was slamming against the wall and the bed was really squeaking.....

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM...HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!" he moaned....

She giggled again......

"OHHHHH YES...YES....YESSSSSSSSSSS!" she cried out....

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW LAWWWWWWWD!" he cried out...

They made love for the next EIGHT TO NINE HOURS!!

She lie on top of him ,kissing him softly after they had both climaxed...

"Good luck Monday...With the jury and all." he said.

"Thank you." she said.

"OHHHHHHHHHH!" he moaned and came again...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUU BRUCE!" she cried out...

She dozed off on his chest....sleeping peacefully...With his arms wrapped around her waist.....She couldn't believe she had slept with him a third time....

He left early that morning....She was glad!

IV-

COURTHOUSE WAITING AREA-MONDAY MORNING! 8:30 AM.

"COFFEE'S EVERYONE!" said Serendipity...She and Lee had gone to the coffee shop down the street and gotten coffee for all of us.

"Get it while it's hot!" said a smiling Lee,passing the coffees to us...

" Ouuuuuu thank you ladies..."said Natalie.

"Just what the doctor ordered for a Monday Morning." I said.

"An Early Monday Morning with no breakfast once again." said Brooke.

''A Lawyers life."laughed Sean.

"If the jury comes back with a verdict.We can all go to breakfast at Sam Mother's ..Breakfast will be on me."said Karen.

"You mean the City"laughed Gary.

Karen laughed and waved her Philadelphia District Attorney's Office Visa card..

"This will be counted as a "Business Lunch" she laughed slyly.

"Works for me."said Jessica, smiling.

"Me too!"laughed Chip.

10:15 AM-

"The Jury has come back with a verdict."said ADA Farley Davidson to us...He didn't look pleased at all..

Two big burley Sherrif's deputies brought our client, Owen McCandles into the courtroom in shackles.

Natalie and I, Brooke and Sean,Karen, Jessica, Chip,Lee and Serendipity stood with him, holding each other's hands..

A Guilty Verdict would send him back to prison with a life sentence. We doubted he'd get Death again...but we didn't want a guilty verdict..

Serendipity's mother, Judge Thelma Harper sat in the visitor's section with her fingers crossed...She wanted so bad for her baby girl to be successful.

"Has the jury come back with a decision?" asked Judge Michael King..

"We have your honor." said the Foreman who passed the verdict to the Bailiff , who passed it to the judge.

He read it quickly and passed it back.

"Read it !" he said.

"WE THE JURY, REPRESENTING THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA IN THE MATTER OF COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA VS OWEN JOHN McCANDLES..

WE THE JURY FIND OWEN J. McCANDLES NOT GUILTY OF THE CHARGE OF CAPITAL MURDER!" he read....

"OH MY DAMN!!!! HUP! THAT'S IT....I'M RETIRING....I CAN'T KEEP UP WITH THESE YOUNG WHIPPERSNAPPERS...I'M DONE!"said an angry and tired Farley Davidson...He threw his hands up in the air in exasperation!!!!

"THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU ALL...I'M A FREE MAN!"said a jubilant Owen McCandles..

"Yes you are...Tonight have a beer and stare at the moon for the first time in two years."said Natalie.

"Tonight you can go to bed when you are ready...not when someone says lights out." I said.

"I'm so happy for you." said Brooke.

"Congratulations man, you're free...I knew the jury would rule in our favor."said Sean.

"I'm surprised it took this long for them to deliberate."said Karen..

"I had no doubt they'd rule in our favor...We had an intelligent jury."said Jessica.

"We made sure of that!" said Chip.

"Yes we did!" said Lee.

"WE DID IT? WE WON!" said Serendipity...

She looked around....There was no sign of Bruce Greene at all.. She was surprised.

Thelma hugged her daughter....

"I'm so proud of you baby!" she said in tears....hugging her daughter and rocking her back and forth....

"Now we've got to find you someplace for you to live." she laughed.

"Yes...That's my next priority!" she said.

As reporters snapped photos of all of us.

EPILOUGE-

Newly freed Owen McCandles began living in a halfway house for awhile.. He took a job with the Innocence Project who had helped spare his life and free him as an advocate for prisoner's rights.

Assistant District Attorney Farley Davidson retired....That was his last case...He was bitter about losing..He believed in his heart that Owen McCandles was guilty of murder and had been freed by a pack of "Young Activist Lawyers.." For awhile he appeared on Conservative TV Talk shows telling anyone who would listen how he felt "put upon and ganged up on by young whipper snappers who were

"Sucking on a bottle and loading up their diapers when I was out here battling in the court system."

That night after the trial was over...

''What a day....I'm as horny as hell.." I whispered in her ear...

She giggled that cute giggle of hers... "So What else is new?...When aren't you as horny as hell?" she said.. slowly and softly rubbing the crotch area of my trousers... Her eyes got as big as saucers...

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMM.......OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU LOOK AT YOUUUUUUUU!!! MYYYYYY GOODNESSS!" she laughed... "I guess you aren't lying.." she laughed...

"MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM, I guess I'll have to take care of that, huh?" she asked, continuing to laugh....."OUUUUUUUUUU IT's SO DAMN BIG AND HARDDDD OH MYYYYY!" she said.

"You always say that.." I laughed.

"It's true.." she whispered...

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!" I moaned..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she cooed.

We continued kissing...

and I took her bra off and I slipped her panties down..

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH GIRRRRRRRLL!" I cried out.

We lie on the bed kissing and smooching like two teenagers....

"David?" she said.

"Yes Natalie" I answered..

"I love you." she said..

I smiled..

"I love you too!" I said.

I turned Natalie over and entered her slowly...She was so damn soft, smelled like a newborn baby and so wet....

"Ummmmmmm this is soooooo damn gooood" I said and laughed..

"Glad you're enjoying yourself....I know I am.....OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU" she said....

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH NATALIE JEANNNN!" I said.

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM! PUT IT IN....OHHHHH PUT IT ALL IN....OUUUUUUUUUU" she moaned as we began to make love....

"OUUUUUUUUU ....OH MY GOD DAVID!!! UMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!" she moaned......

I laughed out loud....

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM YOU FEEL SO DAMN GOOD! I told you I was gonna eat you up..." I said.

"SO DO YOU!! OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! TAKE ME!" she cooed.

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MYY GODDD DAVID!" she moaned as we began making sweet love..

Her head turning from side to side furiously, sweat and tears streaming down the sides of her face, both legs just shaking......For TEN TO ELEVEN HOURS!

And Next door....

"Vanilla, you have no idea how aroused I am right now..!" said her husband, Sean.....

"Judging by the size of that bulge in your trousers, I think I do.....Oh My Goddddddddddd Sean...WOUUUUUUUUUUUUU, how does your boxers contain all of that?" Brooke asked.

"I don't know.....They do quite well until I'm around you..." he said...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, ...My goodness Sean.Do I get you that excited?" said Brooke, devouring his lips...

"YES......YES YOU DO!" said Sean...

"OH MYYYYYYYY!" exclaimed Brooke.

He slipped her panties down..

"Ummmmmmmmmmmm, Vanilla, you have no idea how bad I want you!" said her husband, Sean. again.......

"I'm right here for the taking baby!" she cooed...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" he moaned.
