Fun & Dames

"I gotta hand it to you Walter...You find the most exotic bars." I said as me , Walter "Kool Kat" Jones, Owen Todd and Clerow sat in a new bar called "Lux" and quaffed down coronas..

"Come on Kev, Clerow...Owen...You don't come to a joint like this just to drink beer...order some real drinks." laughed Kool Kat....

"You got some real money?" I said.

Kool Kat looked at me and laughed....

"I know you aint complainin about dough Mister Money bags." he said.

We all laughed.... We didn't just happen to be in here....Greasy Jones often came in this bar....We had been shadowing his movemants for the past week and we noticed that he usually ended his day here....

He came in tonight with his girlfriend, Tangi and a man named , William Butler...A low level playa....

They took a booth,  Within minutes they spotted us sitting at the bar....Owen whispered to me...

"They spotted us Kev, it's showtime.."

"Okay guys, sit tight...don't do anything rash." I said.

Greasy and William Butler walked over to where we were sitting...They didn't know Clerow or Owen Todd, but he knew me and from the description he had gotten from his former protoge', Doc Johnson...He recognized Kool Kat...

"This is a little out of your price range aint it Kev?" he said to me...

"No, Not really...." I said with a smile..."How are you sleeping at night?" I added.

"I'm sleepin pretty well thank you." he sneered...Then he looked at Kool Kat...

"You...I beleive you have something of mine." he said.

"Who me? , Not me boss, this is the first time I've ever laid eyes on you." said Kool Kat.

"Ohhhh a smart guy...Billy, teach him some manners and help him improve his memory." he snarled...

Kool Kat spun around so they could see how big he was and how massive....

He grabbed William Butler in his collar...and Owen Todd pulled out his .38 and quietly stuck it in William's Ribs...

"Now Bill...Can I call you Bill?  If I was you, I'd go and sit down , real slow like, you feel me?" said Kool Kat...

Bill said nothing, but he didn't do anything either....

"I gave your boys your stash back....They didn't tell you?" said Kool Kat... "For real..I aint no dealer...I was just playin with them...They must be sellin it and keeping the profit for themselves." he said.

Greasy was in no position to dispute anything....Clerow had a .45 sticking in his ribs....and was smiling that toothy grin of his...

"This was you huh?" he said giving me a hateful stare...

" Yeah, I confess....My guys here was just havin a little fun with your peeps..We gave the stash back...He aint lyin about that." I said.

"You're playin with fire Kevin." said Greasy...

"I don't think so....You're about as hot as a wet noodle right about now..but manipulating and ruining a young woman's life isn't fair play or hot either.and I know you know what I'm talking about if everybody else doesn't..She was innocent, she didn't know enough to hurt you.....What you did to her wasn't right." I said.

"I don't care what you think okay?...It's old business and you can't prove a thing...and none of my people will talk to you. Not ever." he sneered...

I shrugged....

"You're right...Kools, Owen, Clerow...Let them go... Let's just call it even okay?" I said.  "But I still think you're foul." I said.

"I don't give a damn what you think......You win this time Kevin, but I aint gonna forget this." he said.

"You should forget it....I'm being nice this time...Next time, I won't be so nice."I said.

"Yeah? Youse a tough guy now?" he said.

''Ask your boy George Stephens...Oh that's right...He aint with you no more...And you're too much of a punk to lay hands on him like you do Doc....You've lost both of them....One day they just might tell the whole story." I said.

"I doubt that seriously." he said.

"Oh you do huh?" I said.

"Yeah..I do." he said. "See ya around Kev." he sneered.

"I doubt that." I said.

He and William Butler walked back to their booth...

I smiled...

"The fun is just about to begin guys." I said.

II-

William Butler eventually got up and went to the bar to order himself a drink.... Tangi leaned over and said to Greasy...

"Greasy baby, ever since you told me that you actually offed somebody ,I've been so horny I don't know what to do." she said.

"Yeah? well forget what I told you, you hear?" he snapped..

She rubbed his leg....She ran her hand up his trousers and unzippered them at the table and leaned over and gave him a long sloppy wet kiss...

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmm girl, stop playin with meeee....ughhhhhhhhhhh..." he moaned..

He didn't see Thelma Thompson walk in.....Upon seeing them , she was furious!! Sometime in the wee hours of the morning...A DVD was sent to her apartment...It had full visions of Greasy and Tangi having sex and exchanging pillow talk....To say she was not pleased was an understatement....

She also got an anonymous call just an hour ago telling her where Greasy was and how to find the place and most of all, who he was with!

She bought a drink and poured it on Tangi...Then slapped Greasy so hard that he fell out of his seat...

"You lying cheating bastard....I can't believe that after all I've done for you, you bring this heifer to a class spot like this....While all I'm good for is Josie's and the Mermaid Club..." she spat...

"Who you callin a heifer?? Hoodrat" screamed Tangi....

''You...Heifer?"she screamed... Everyone in this quiet high class bar began to turn around...and stare...

The next thing you know, The three of them were shouting and screaming at each other to the top of their lungs...and pushing and shoving... This was an upscale bar and the bouncers came out in droves, surrounded the trio and ushered them out the door...

Most of the patrons were laughing and slapping their knees... Some were outraged!

"Thelma....I found you in the hood and I'll drop you back there...William..William , come and get her...please...come and get her will you?" screamed Greasy...

"Nah man, you on your own baby...I don't do domestic..." he said...

Kool Kat,Owen Todd, Clerow and I busted out laughing...

Two Police cars just happened to pull up...Lt. Sissy Van Buren  and Detective Carlotta Rodriguez and about six uniformed Philadelphia policemen pulled up...

The trio was still arguing and fussing.... Sissy and two cops pulled the fighting girls apart...

Carlotta put the handcuffs on Greasy Jones....

"You're under arrest papi...for the murder of Clyde Rassums.." she said.

''What? , you're kidding right?" he sneered....

"Do I look like I'm kidding?" said Carlotta...

"I don't believe this...I'm gettin arrested???  I'm Greasy baby...I don't go to jail, I slip through the cracks baby!" he said.

"Save it for the judge , you cheap punk." said Lt. Sissy Van Buren...who looked over at me and shook her head....Carlotta waved and laughed...

I raised my glass and nodded...

William Butler looked at Kool Kat, Owen Todd, Clerow and I and laughed....

"What a loser...I'm so glad I didn't get involved with that guy." he said....

"Hey Billy, how bout I buy you a drink?   On me.....No hard feelings?" I said.

"None at all bruh! We sweet like Cracker Jack baby!" he said...and the five of us sat at the bar and enjoyed another round of  drinks well into the night!

EPILOUGE:

William "Greasy" Jones was convicted of First Degree Murder in the death of Clyde Rassums... as well as attempted murder of Guitarist Brooke Taylor and manslaughter in the death of Lilli Palmer, Brooke's victim that night....He was sentenced to life in prison.

Tangi, Thelma Thompson, Arthur "Doc" Johnson and George Stephens all testified against him and amazingly, none of them was charged with anything...

Brooke Taylor's name was cleared and she was given a full pardon.....

Sepia and I caught her act at Josie's a few weeks later.....

"Kevin...I can't thank you enough for clearing my name and putting that bastard, "Greasy" Jones behind bars..." she said...

"Believe me...After getting to know him....It was my pleasure....I would have done it for free." I laughed as Sepia held my arm....

"Gurllll, you are wearing the hell out of that dress!" exclaimed Brooke.

"Yeah...a little too much, two guys have already tripped and spilled their drinks." laughed my wife.

"Kev, you better watch your wife..." joked Brooke...

"Oh believe me...I am." I laughed...

Brooke paid me handsomely for clearing her name....I kind of hated taking the payment, but I'm no fool...I took it.


"Well handsome, what are you gonna do with all that cash?" asked Sepia...

"Why don't we find us a fine hotel and spend the night?" I said.

"AC?" she asked.

"If that's where you want to go." I said.

"Lead the way lover." she said.

"No, I'll follow you, so I can look at you in that dress." I laughed..

"You are sooo nasty." laughed my wife...

Brooke smiled....I smiled back at her and winked!
