DUMBO DISTRICT -- NYC
(Spring. 2017)




VII

           Meadow enters the Precinct's Jailhouse the following afternoon "Dressed to Kill."  

The evening before she took a steamy shower & shaved her entire body, arm-pits, legs & pubic region: Before taking a long hot bubble bath, soaking in the deep tub up to her chin. (Masturbating) 

That next morning, she had a full "Make-Over," with a fresh hair cut & neck shave (Cropped short like her mother wore her's.)  She had her eye-brows plucked, a facial mask & scrub treatment, a manicure & a pedicure. 

           Meadow followed that up by going shopping at the Mall.  Where she bought three new busness suit outfits, with exchangable shirts, skirts & slacks.  Six pairs of new dress shoes, two handbags & a purse. (Not to mention, three new workout outfits & running shoes to go back to the gym.)

           Meadow made the decision that she would represent Jack Black's Case.  It was her Duty & Obiligation as a Public Defender, no matter who he was. Although, there was a clear violation of conflicting interest.  Meadow could take the case to get revenge for her father's murder, loosing the case by mismanaging it so that in turn he would be found guilty & charged with this murder; (&, Indirctly punished for her father's murder ten years prior) 

Or, she could, "Fight the Good Fight," for her client, Jack Black. & Have the pending charges reduced or even dropped.  What Meadow understood was by taking his case, she would have complete access to this man's private information, personal & military service history, with health & criminal records.  For which she could futher deduct from to prove or disprove her theory of his true identity.



MEADOW (SOPRANO) WEISS

Public Defender

 

           Upon returning to the Precinct for her rescheduled appointment (On Time) with one, Jack Black she entered the invesigation room with her head held high, carrying a STARBUCKS Coffee.  Immediately, making eye-contact with him & maintaining it, as she took out her lap-top & legal-pad.  "Good afternoon Mr. Black!"  (You're on Time) Meadow breaks eye-contact with him to glance up at the wall clock, then down at her wrist-watch: "Yes.  Indeed, I am."

           "So let's get started Mr. Black, my name is Ms. Weiss & I will be your public defender if you so choose to retain my services at no charge or fee to you. (I don't have any other choice)  Meadow follows up by informing him that these are some serious charges against you Mr. Black & You are facing the chance of "LIFE" in prison, with no possibilities of being parole, if he were found guilty as charged. 

(Meadow deployed this pure-pressure stradigy to emphisis to her client, Jack Black a feeling of Hopelessness & establish & make him Dependant, solely on her.



JACK BLACK
(Charged with Murder)


           "I didn't do it.  I didn't kill anyone.  It is mistaken identity." Jack Black calmly said.

           "Yes, Mr. Black that is what most individuals say in your current situation, but unfortunate for you the Judge questions your claims by denying you Bond."  Meadow hands the attending Guard a legal form to take to the opposite end of the long wooden table to Jack Black.

           Jack Black was handsome enough, middle-aged man, younger then her late father's age with short, gray-peppered hair in need of a clean shave & a good hair-cut; wearing a baggy, over-sized bright orange, jailhouse jump-suit & desposable slippers with black rubber soles.  He was bound with a hanging chain connected between hand-cuffs & ankle-shackles.  Accepting the papers from the guard by lifting both hands, with limited range of the chain between his wrist & feet.

           "Can you read English Mr. Black? (YES)  Read, Sign & Date (What is the Date?) all the forms if you choose to retain my services as your Attorney?  With your Authorization, I will have legal access to your Personal History & Criminal Records.  I will be your legal counsel  & advocate between the Proscuiting Attorney;  Who, I can't stress strong enough to you, Mr. Black believe they have a very strong case against you with the testimoney of an eye-witness & the arresting Officer, Brewster's Report. (A second reinforcing reminder of the dire situtation he found himself in alone & his need & dependence on her.)

           Jack Black awkwardly signs his name to all of the legal forms accepting her legal services &  authorizing her access to his records. The Guard collects the papers to return to Meadow who over-looked each one.             

"Very Good Mr. Black.  I will be back in contact with you."

           "Do I stand any chance of beating these trumped up charges?"

           "Honestly Mr. Black," Meadow paused as she repacked her computer-bag with with her lap-top & the legal forms to copy & file with the Clerk of Courts to make it Offical. 

"I don't know yet. We, shall see.--Good Day." (A third & final jab) Meadow stood straight up & turns on her new high-heel to confidently exit the conference room with a sastified look across face as the Guard assisted his prisoner to his (Slipper) feet to return Jack Black to his cell-block.

 








SGT STELLA BREWSTER
NYC--PD


           "Meadow?"--"STING!"

           "I almost didn't recongnize you Girl!" (REALLY?) Looking GOOD Sister!  I gotta run now--See you Around." (I Hope So)

 



 


VIII

           Meadow drove her rental car straight to the Courthouse to file Jack Black's paper-work with Clerk of Courts.  I was Offical: Ms. Meadow Weiss was Jack Black's Attorney.

           Then she decided to go to the Car Rental Agencey to sign a lease for the rental car.  It was safe, dependant & gas efficent. (A tocken act to "Save the Planet") Besides she could use the leasing (& Carbon-FUEL) expenses as a tax deduction for Work.

(JESUS FUCKING CHRIST)



           Meadow goes to have a sweaty work-out to release & secrete the Toxins trapped in her soft, punchy body.  She still had a good figure for her age (34 1/2) but she had more round curves then splender ones.  She had completely abandoned her previous gym membership 6 months or more ago,  (For which she renewed when she re-registered.






           Meadow worked out for two hours not noticing anyone she had met there before she quit coming.  After showering her sweaty smooth, hairless body she confidently viewed her naked body before the locker-room mirror with a Self-Gratification of putting forth an effort to improve her physical & mental condition in a positive way. Meadow had experience being in a deep RUT for an extended period of time for which she couldn't explain. Or admit to herself, being in denial that she was experiencing mild depression for months. & Coming face to face with her father's killer unexpectedly, "Tipped the Scales," causing her to hit "Rock Bottom."

           Out-side of the Neighborhood Gym, in the parking lot Meadow found her newly leased car sitting on a flat tire. "GOD DAMN IT."





           "Meadow Weiss!"--"Sting?"

           "What's the matter?  A flat-tire?  Oh, my.  Here let me help you with that! You know we have to quit meeting like this or people will begin to Talk!" Sting smiles as she squats down beside Meadow sitting on the curb staring at the flat tire. "What happen?" the two women answer each other together saying, "POT-HOLE!" & Half-laughing, Sting grabs the four-way lug-nut wrench seeing Meadow's racketball racket & balls in the trunk. "You Play?" (What?) Sting holds up the racket. (Yea--You?) "Yea, I play too!  It's a good work-out.  We should play sometime?" (Yea, We Should.)


           This was the beginning of a long, close & Lasting Friendship between two professional women. One a Lawyer, the other a Law Officer, (29) being a five year junior to Meadow's age.

           "How did you get the nickname of "STING"?  Wasn't that the name of a professional wrestler or a musician in the 1980's?"

           "YES, the Wrestler!  & Wasn't he such a HUNK back in the day?! (Yea. I guess?) You won't believe this but my brother's play with toy wrestler action figures & they a had a Sting one that I had a crush on him so I stole it from their toy-box. I always won all the fights when I played, need-less to say!  I made my brothers call me Sting & the nickname stuck like that.

           "Do you have a nickname Meadow?"

           "Yea." (What?) BING--"Princess Bing."

           "Yea? I can see that, I think? (Being "Bing")--But I like "Muffy." (MUFFY?) "Yea! "Muffy!" Meadow didn't know if it was a slant or a compliment?  So there you go Lady! All done. (What do I owe you?) Oh, I don't want anything, I'm just happy to be helpful!"

           "Let me do something for you Sting?--You have been "Helpful," to me our last three encounters in a row now!"

           "Well, I am really hungry now. &There a slanking little juice-bar around the corner from here, you could join me for dinner to refuel after our workouts?  Maybe even a couple drinks to rehydrate, too?"

           Meadow gives Sting a big hug feeling her rock hard body benenth her jogging suit. "Let's Go Then!--& It's all my Treat!  Lead the way & I will follow!"

           "OK, Great Muffy!" (Muffy?) Meadow smiled on the outside in agreement & inside at herself, believing she had just made an over-due, new friend. (Although, she had just been reconnected to Herman Hyle earlier in the week.)  Things were looking up & More Promising; Meadow felt a Confident sense of Control & Fulfillment getting into her new car to leave.

           Meadow was amazed how much food & liquids Sting could consume & still maintain her fitness & (SEXY) figure.  She ate a whole half-pound Prime Rib, two big Chef Baked-Potatos, & three visits to the Salid Bar with only Water to drink. Meadow only had a small NY Strip, French Fries & the Salid Bar with a COKE.

           Sting explained that she was in Training. (For What?)  "I am a UFC Fighter. (Really?) Yea, I have my next fight in 2 weeks.  If, I can win? Which I will.  I will be in line with a shot at the Belt!"

           Sting finished her last bite & wiped her mouth with a cloth napkin with a big smile.  "I feel better now!  I was fading back there in the parking lot after pushing myself at the gym. But now I feel like having a couple drinks & going dancing.  What do you say Muffy?--Game?"

           Meadow smiles shyly, inside & outside of herself. (What? you don't drink?--You don't dance?) Meadow shakes her head (YES) to both question in responds. (BUT?) "I can't go out dressed like this? In gym sweats?"

           "We can drop in at my house & change.  We look the same size, (HARDLY NOT) I have something that will fit you.  Come on Muffy, don't make me beg you!  I really want to--Go out "Clubbing," tonight--With you!  Do you have something else to do?" (No) GOOD! It's settled.  "Let's Blow this Pop-cycle Stand!" (Yes)  Sting stands & lifts Meadow off her stool with her strong arm.  You go Pay & I will leave the Tip. & I'll meet you in the lobby."


           (At the Club, they danced together to, "Pour Sugar on Me," by DEF LEPPARD from their HYSTERIA Album--1987)

IX

           The following morning Meadow returned the Courthouse to obtain Jack Black's available records before going to her own private office to look them over. Stopping at Starbuck's drive-thru window for a latte to go along the way.




           Jack Black had no middle name of record on his DD214, Military Service & History Form.  He served in two Middle-East Conflicts & once over in Afganestan. ARMY INFANTERY SPECIAL OPS 1986-2006 20 years of service without one bad mark against him. (& A Purple Heart Recipiant for BRAVERY in the line of Duty.)

           Jack Black retired as an E-10 with a full pension from the military with a HONORABLE Discharge & Recieved Full Decorations & Awards.

           He was born in 1966, in St. Louis MO.  Graduationed HS in 1984 & worked in construction 2 years before enlisting in the Army.  He never married nor had any children of record.

           He had no criminal history before being arrested & charged with a 1st Degree Murder of a Homeless man in a back alley two weeks prior.  Currently he lived at his older sister, Belinda Black's (With no middle name given either) home address. Occupation: Unemployed/Semi-Retired.


           Arresting Officer: Sgt. Stella Brewster filed a full Police Report



 

           Meadow left her office to go to the neighborhood gym.  She was jogging on the treadmill when Sting entered the gym & walked straight over to her to say: 

"I had a fucking BLAST last night with you Muffy!--You are a Fantastic Dancer too!" (Me too--You are also!) Did you bring your racket in? (YES) Let's Play! The Best 2 out 0f 3.  Come on, while I will stretch out!" (Loser BUYS at WENDY"S afterwards!)

           Meadow lost after winning the first game.  She had already broke a sweat on the treadmill prior & Sting had to warm up. Which she had by the second game & won that. Meadow could see the Competitive Fire raising up in her, challenging herself to dig deeper which inspired Meadow to try even harder & Sting just couldn't put Meadow away. They have match points three times before loosing in the third & deciding game.  You Buy!  Let's go shower--I'm starving!  "You are better then I thought--I under-estimated you Muffy (ME?) & I rarely do that with my opponets!  Good Match Muff--You won so its my Treat!"

           After the two women showered together in the locker-room Meadow followed Sting to the nearest WENDY'S & She ordered two Triple Cheese-Burgers, two large french fries & a chocolate milkshake with a large water.  Meadow felt hungrier & got a Double cheeseburger With one large french fry with a vanilla milkshake. Meadow was happy to be in Good-Company. "Here Muffy, let me try that!"--Meadow dipped a french fry in her milkshake (Open your Mouth) to feed the drippy fry to her.  "Ummm, That is Good!"

 

           Meadow returns to her lonely apartment alone afterwards, with Jack Black's new compiled case-file to further review for any flags or signals that she could of missed or over-looked.  Getting a wine-cooler out of the frig, she lit a cigarette (which was being totally counter-productive to her work-outs) & stared at the telephone.  But instead of calling her mother she called her Aunt Barabara & asked if she could drive up to Brewster to visit over the week-end? She had just signed a lease for a reliable car to make the trip up-state. 

           "Sure Sweetheart, we would love to have you!--See if A.J. wants to tag along?  We will be looking forward to your arrivial--Drive Safely Princess!" (Click)

           Meadow thought it would be a chance to get out of the big city & relax, catch her breath to focas on the task at hand with Jack Black's pending case.  She would secure his records in her car-trunk with her computer-bag to futher review during her visit in Brewster.

           Meadow calls A.J.'s cell-phone--"Yea Sis--What's Up?"  Meadow informs him she was going up north to visit Barbara & their Aunt had suggested he ride along.  "I can't Bing--Sorry, I have plans made already.  Maybe next time Sis?" (No Biggy T.)
