J.J. learned a very valuable and never to be forgotten lesson about the seeming docile and friendly Linda. The black and blue marks still showed on B.J. when Linda walked into the lounge to go to work at 8:45 Monday night, almost two days later! Linda, after almost two days of unholy crap from Johnny about her two after sunrise arrivals home, and four hundred and sixty bucks richer (John paid her $260 in cash Saturday morning and $200 in cash Sunday morning, though Linda thought it should have been vice-a-versa) --- after the nearly two days to think about the remaining $400 and how she had to earn it the coming weekend, she walked fearfully back into the lounge to do her regular Monday Night dance shift from 9:00PM to 2:00AM. B.J. was, of course, surly as hell toward her, bitch that she was --- but John seemed quite normal and "ho-hum" about the whole thing --- almost cavalier, in fact. After a few words with him at the cash register, Linda was about to turn and head into the dressing room when she spotted the now familiar slightly bald headed, blue eyed, bearded face over the top of the stage plat- form in the same seat he'd occupied on Friday Night --- and a shiver went up and down her tired frame. |
