On The Dotted Line

Kool Kat, My wife ,Sepia, Bonnie Shay ,Ronald Shay and myself sat in Johnny Rockets on the Boardwalk...After the day we had , we were all pretty hungry....We were enjoying Hamburgers, Cheeseburgers and Fries and Milk shakes...

"Bonnie Girl, Ronnie...I'm so sorry...I know that the boys did the very best they could...It's just that this guy has a lot of issues...and with so many people" said Sepia assuredly to a distraught Bonnie Shay...

"Oh Sepia...I know and I am so grateful to Kevin and Mr. Jones for what they did do...I should have known this guy was trouble from the minute he walked up to me on the beach..."said Bonnie Shay...

"It's not your fault Bon-Bon...Don't worry...We'll work it out...It'll all work out."said Ronnie as he rubbed her arm softly...

"We still have one card left to play."I said as I finished my food..

"One card left to play?? What are you talking about Kevin?  We have no idea where those clowns took him and for all we know, he could be dead right now!"said Kool Kat.

"Nah, they haven't killed him yet...They want their money and he must have a part of it...That house...That car...Those are recent purchases.. They came from somewhere....I checked his bank account.. He's got some of the money there...They won't kill him until they get a payment....Plus....Bonnie ,your work phone is still on him...with GPS...We can track him, just like we tracked him earlier..."I said.

Bonnie smiled....

"That's right..." she said....

"And further more...We know that these five clowns murdered Bobby S.   We have a live feed of them leaving the house right after the murder.....How bout if the Atlantic City P.D. get an anonymous tip, telling them where they can find a dead body?....and then get another uh anonymous video feed of the five clowns leaving the house right after the murder?  These cats weren't the brightest bulbs in the socket..I'm sure they left quite a bit of forensic evidence in that house."I said smiling slyly.....

"That's why you my dog Kevin...You are as slick as canned grease."laughed Kool Kat ,smacking his thigh...

"I like it...I like it...Could you guys excuse me...I have to make a couple of calls..."said Ronnie..

"Calls?" asked Bonnie...

"Business Baby." he said and kissed her on the cheek...

II-

In a sleazy hotel , a few blocks from the boardwalk, punches and slaps could be heard...Three of Jake "the Snake"Gibbons men had given Ray Johnson a royal working over...Both of his eyes were nearly swollen shut..His lips were swollen and his nose was bleeding profusely....

"Now here is how it's gonna go Ray...Tomorrow morning you're going to the bank and empty your entire account...Then you are gonna sign that house and that car over to me...Understand?" said Jake..

"Yes..Yes..anything you say.." cried Ray...

There was a knock on the door...a loud knock..

"Now who the hell is that?" asked Jake..

"Who knows we are here?" asked another goon..

"Boss...Outside...It's two cop cars!!" exclaimed another goon..

"Cop cars? For what? Ray are you in some kind of trouble...?" asked Jake..

"It looks more like you're in trouble." said Ray ,who was smacked in the mouth...

"I'm just sayin.." he said.

"GIBBONS OPEN UP!!! WE KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE..WE HAVE A WARRANT FOR YOUR ARREST!" came the voice..

"A WARRANT?? FOR WHAT?" asked Jake...

The door came off the hinges and seven uniformed police officers armed with shotguns burst in the room..

"ATLANTIC CITY PD ...HANDS UP...GET EM UP!" they screamed...

Two Homicide Detectives walked in....

"I'm Detective Jack McCafferty and this is my partner, Detective Danny Stevens...I been waitin a long time to put a tag on you Jake..and now I got you....The five of you are under arrest for First Degree Murder and Kidnapping...I'm gonna add felonious assault "he said looking at the bloody Ray Johnson...

"You're off your nut...You got nothin."said Jake..

"If I didn't..Would I be here Jake?" he said and pulled out a tablet showing a video feed of Jake and his four goons leaving Ray's house after they killed Bobby S...

"We found enough forensic evidence in that house to link you and all four of your eh associates...BOOK EM DANNY...MURDER ONE ,KIDNAPPING AND ASSAULT!"

The policemen read them their rights and handcuffed all of them and marched them out...

"I don't understand...How did they get a feed? How did they even find the body so soon?? How did this happen??I don't believe this...I'm going to jail...I'm being arrested...I-I-I just don't believe it."muttered Jake Gibbons as he and his four goons were walked down to the paddy wagon..

"Do you want any medical attention sir?" asked Detective McCafferty as he untied Ray Johnson...

"Uh.No sir..Uh...I'll be alright.."said Ray as he watched the cops haul Jake "The Snake"Gibbons and his gang off to jail....

Ray stumbled out into the street...I was at the corner...

"You've had quite a day today, Huh Ray?."I said...

He looked at me in shock...

"YOU!!" he said in amazement!!!

Kool Kat smiled..

"I'll say...This makes two times we've pulled your nuts out of the fire." he said laughing a sinister grin..

Ray looked at both of us..

"That was you? That was You Guys??" he said..

"Who else?  Yeah it was us...You got a clean slate now...You no longer have to look over your shoulders..."I said.

"And to show us your gratitude...You're going to sign these papers right here and right now!"said Kool Kat sternly...

"Can I read what I'm signing?" he asked..

"SIGN THE DAMN PAPERS!!!" said Kool Kat and Me in unison...

"Okay,Okay..."he said and he signed all three copies....

"Can I have one of those copies guys?" asked Ronnie...

I smiled...

"Sure can counselor..."I said..

"I got in contact with a Judge I know here...He was in law school with my dad...He'll take care of this right now." said Ronnie..."I'll see you guys in a few." said Ronnie.

Kool Kat watched him as he got in his rental car and drove off...

Ray looked at us...

"So uh....I guess my business with you guys is through right?" he asked.

"Yes sir..it is....Hey ,look at the bright side...You got a clean slate...You're off the hook for that 50K and those mobsters are out of your life forever."I said.

Ray smiled..

"Yeah...It feels good to have a clean slate...To not have to look over my shoulder....Thank you guys...Thank you so much..."he said...He looked reflective for a minute...

"You know...Bonnie is a once in a lifetime chick...I think if I had of stayed with her..She would have straightened me out...I wouldn't have gotten into all this mess....I'm puttin that house up for sale and I'm moving out of here....I'm going to start over someplace new....Where the beer runs cold and I don't know any of the playas..."he said.

I had heard those words spoken before...By a thief....Now a Grifter was saying the same words...I wondered...

He shook both of our hands....

"Mr. Kevin, Mr. Jones....Thank you both for everything you've done....And tell Bonnie....I'm sorry and I wish her nothing but the best..." he said...and he walked off...

I patted Kools on the back...

"What a day huh man?" I said..

"Yeah Kev..This was one hell of a day..."said Kool Kat...




III-

We hadn't left yet....We were all chilling back at the room..

"Thank you guys so much...Now we can get married on time.."said Bonnie..."By the way..Where is Ronnie?" asked Bonnie..

"He'll be here..He had something he had to do...He knows a Judge here, who is going to take care of the annulment." said Sepia...

I pulled out several bottles of Champaigne and arranged some glasses...

"Ouuuu, nice...I suppose a celebration is in order...but why so many glasses Sepia,it's only five of us? You have about 14 glasses." said Bonnie...

There was a knock on the door..

"I'll get that."said Kool Kat, smiling slyly...It was Olivia Bennett-Alexander, Donnie Ray Alexander, Beverly West,Nelson East, Josie Boyd, Celeste and Soloman Foster, Kayla Bennett and her boyfriend, Ryan St. James.

"HEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY BONNIE GIRL!!!" said Everybody......

Sepia had changed into a white dress...

"Surprise!!!" she laughed...

"What is this? Why are you all here?" asked Bonnie...

"I called them....I told them to come down..."said Ronnie..."I knew Kevin and Kool Kat would wrap this thing up...I also want to introduce you to Judge Brian Stevens....An old Law School friend of my dad....He formerly signed annulment papers and you are a free woman,officially....but just for a few hours."said Ronnie..

"What do you mean for a few hours?" asked Bonnie..

"I don't want to lose you again...and I don't want anything to go wrong....The Judge has agreed to marry us in the morning...He signed a marriage license for me...If you sign right here...He has agreed to marry us tomorrow morning!"said Ronnie..

"Where???Here? In this room? In this ratty Motel??" asked Bonnie...

 "No Bonnie..We are going on the beach....All of your friends are here...It'll be beautiful." I said ,smiling weakly...

"I've always wanted to attend a beach wedding Bonnie." said Sepia.

"Come on Bonnie, think of the great story you'll have to tell your kids about this." said Kool Kat.. smiling wryly...

"I never want to tell my kids all of this story....but I do want to marry this man...In the worst way...So, let's do this...Now Ronnie you're going to have to rent another room...You can't see me for a few hours..."said Bonnie laughing...As we all popped the bottles of champaigne and drank toasts to the happy couple.

IV-

Early the next morning...With 12 witnesses...Bernadette "Bonnie " Williams married Ronald Shay again and officially became Mrs. Bonnie Shay....

I was the best man....

Kool Kat, Donnie Ray Alexander, Soloman Foster ,Ryan St. James and Nelson East were the groomsmen....

Olivia Bennett-Alexander was the maid of honor...with Sepia, Beverly, Josie, Celeste and Kayla  being her bridesmaids..

It was a beautiful wedding...Despite all of the adversity ....They had finally tied the knot and this time officially...

"This time baby, we are married for life..."said Ronald..

"Yes baby..for life."said Bonnie as they shared a passionate kiss...

From a distance...I saw Ray Johnson looking on and smiling....

EPILOUGE-

My friend ,Eric "Shark Dollars "Redding gave Bonnie and Ronnie a nice Honeymoon Suite in one of the Casino /Hotels where he held court and played high stakes poker...as a wedding gift..

The rest of us partied and drank champaigne the rest of the day before we headed back to Philadelphia..

It would be six months before the mummified and rotting  bodies of Two Ton Tony Olivetti and his eight henchmen would be found..Police didn't know what to make of the scene....It looked like a murder -suicide...or a professional hit...At any rate they didn't care to further investigate..

Jake "The Snake" Gibbons and his four henchmen were convicted of first degree murder in the death of Bobby S. and the kidnapping and assault of Ray Johnson..They were all sentenced to Life without Parole...

To date, Ray Johnson has not left Atlantic City...He still lives there in his house...He has an honest job as a Black Jack Dealer at one of the Casinos...


And in Bonnie and Ronald's Honeymoon Suite-

As you might expect....The happy couple were consummating their marriage...


''Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.."moaned Bonnie..


"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmph" groaned Ronald..


The bed was squeaking like crazy and the headboard was slamming hard against the wall.....

Ronald Shay and his new wife...Bonnie Shay were making sweet love...

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! weeeeeeeeeeeeeee...sweeet lawddd...oh mah goodness mannnnnnnnnnn...wooooooooooooo"she yelled....coming violently and still shaking a little bit after they were finished...

"Oh my god Ronnie...ohhh, that was amazing.."she said, sweat and tears rolling down her face..

"Yes...Ouuuuu girl...you got my legs shaking....ohhhh."said a very satisfied Ronald Shay...

Bonnie sat on the side of the bed...She looked over at a very satisfied Ronald.. She was sweating profusely, trying to catch her breath...Her legs were still shaking a bit....

She jokingly asked Ronald..

"Ronnie?"

"Yeah baby?" he asked...

"You happy to be married to me again?" she asked..

"Never Happier." he said.

"Me too!" she said...

She lay between his legs and he softly ran his fingers through her hair...She looked at her wedding band and smiled..
