Gerty….. (3) (!!!!)
Before Johnny could get out the cab of the truck Gerty grabbed his arm and pulled him close.
" J-man, you’re my one and only but we need to keep the tank full and the wheels turning so you have to play me my game,okay?"
"Sure babe, anything you say."
Gerty gave him a great big smile and kissed Johnny hard. Gerty said
"now in you go and just order yourself a beer. Nothing for me because as far as anyone knows we’re not together. When I leave the bar you give me a couple of minutes and swing down the side of the building in that alley and meet me there."
Johnny thought this was great. He had a sidekick that liked to shake a few dollars out of people’s pockets too. Johnny figured this was going to alot easier as there was many a women who made a few dollars disappear out of his pockets in the past and he was wiser than most.
Gerty almost ran in the door ahead of Johnny and he gave it a minute or two to make sure that no one considered them as together. Eventually Johnny made his way in and settled at the far end of the bar on a stool. Gerty was already rubbing against the boys at the bar and talking up a mile. Johnny felt a twinge a jealously as the men were already stirring their beer soaked minds of what they hoped the evening would bring.
Johnny quickly calmed these thoughts and just kept Gerty in the corner of his eye to make sure she did not slip out with anyone while he was distracted. Johnny found the excitement of Gerty making his heart beat a bit faster and goose bumps ran down his neck.
Gerty had found her prey in a well oiled clod of a man who had seen his first pitcher come an go and was well on his way through number two. No wedding band to waste her time with. Nothing worse than trying to seal the deal with some guy only to have guilt keep him from stepping out the door.
Gerty finally whispered a few suggestions into her targets ear and went to the door of the bar and turned and looked at the man. His beer was quickly drained and he was on his feet.
Johnny was on the clock. He suddenly realized that he may be part of a plan but Gerty didn’t tell him anything other than to go down the alley. What then? Johnny figured that Gerty probably promised a sexual favor but what has he suppose to do. Thump the guy and take his money? that didn’t seem very wise in long term. j-a-i-l could be coming his way with drastic measures like that. Johnny decided that he trusted that Gerty was smarter than that and would roll with the punches.
Gerty grabbed the man by the hand when it looked as though he was heading to the vehicles. There will be no trapping Gerty inside a car. No siree. Gerty gave the man a gentle pull toward the alley and said
"What’s your name honey?"
The belchy man grunted out
"Ralph"
Ralph! Gerty laughed. "Ralph, Ralph, Ralph!"
"So Ralph, watcha got for me? Are you going to ralph, Ralph. You drank alot of beer. I drink alot of beer and it makes me want to ralph…Ralph.
I think Ralph makes me want to ralph too.
Confused Ralph went from unzipping his pants for that blow job offer to wondering what the hell was going on with this suddenly crazy girl.
Gerty looked down and said
"Now Ralph I know what you are thinking but I think I need to ask my boyfriend if he thinks it’s okay for such intimate behavior."
"What the hell you talking about girl? Boyfriend? You don’t seem the boyfriend type to me sweetheart."
Gerty smiled and said
‘Well why don’t you just go and ask him?’"
Johnny had stepped up behind the man and sensing his presence Ralph turned to him and said
"What is this bullshit with you two….
Ralph suddenly looked wide eyed at Johnny and started to flex his shoulder like he was trying to touch his shoulder blades together. A gasp came to his lips and he lurched forward as disbelief crossed his face.
Gerty came around to his side smiling and said,
Daddy Daddy Daddy Dear
This just ain’t your fucking year
Gerty yanked the knife out of Ralph back and quickly stabbed him again in the neck and shoved him to the ground. Blood was pouring out of the man and any opportunity to yell had just been cut away.
Gerty came up to Johnny and said,
"Lets gets any goodies he has in his pockets J-Man. I know it’s fun to watch but safety first. Time to hit the road jack."
Gerty sensed that Johnny would not be very good at speeding things up this first time so she grabbed Ralph’s wallet and gently pushed Johnny towards the truck. Once in the cab Gerty urged them to get down the road and Johnny came out of his initial shock and complied.
Once the ringing in Johnny’s ears ended from the adrenalin that flooded his veins he looked at Gerty and said
"Damn Gerty you didn’t have to stab the man to rob him."
Gerty just laughed as she wiped off the knife with a suspiciously red rag from her backpack and said,
"J-Man, were not robbing anyone. The money is just the perk of the fun. Were just killing daddy.
Hey ho, what do you know
Daddy needs to die some mo
