Part 10 (1/2)
Gabby stepped closer to take a look. ”What is it?”
”Something punctured the skin in these two spots.”
”A needle?”
”Not unless it was one h.e.l.l of a big needle.”
CHAPTER 11 - Tuesday, 1:50 a.m.
A beautiful young woman walked through Cafe Nue, and found Bobby Ballantini standing in the side archway that led to the restrooms. ”Excuse me, Sir. I wonder if you can help me.”
He smiled. ”I'll try my best.”
”It's about my application for employment. I've been waiting forever to hear something.”
”It can take a while. You'll have to meet with my boss: Mr. Ketrousie.”
”Okay. Where can I find him?”
”No. You'll need an appointment, Honey. You can't do it tonight. We're about to close. Come back tomorrow afternoon. Around two.”
She stepped in closer, placed her hand on his arm, and looked deeply into his eyes with every ounce of her considerable s.e.x appeal. ”Gee, I work afternoons and evenings, so you can imagine how hard it is,” she pushed one of her thighs up against his, ”for me to get here at that time. I was really hoping to talk to him tonight.”
”Well...I guess we can give it a try. Come with me.”
She followed him out of the dining room and down a hallway.
Bobby knocked on the door and stuck his head in. ”Boss? I've got a young lady here who applied for a job a long time ago, and she's wondering if-”
”-tell her to come back tomorrow.”
”Aw, come on, Boss.”
Joey hesitated. ”Let me see her.”
Bobby pushed the door wide open.
Joey smiled at what he saw. ”Come on in, Sweetie.”
She walked in. Bobby closed the door and walked away.
”You're quite a babe.”
”Thanks.”
”What's your name?”
”Megan.”
”Well, Megan, as you know, this is a topless establishment. So, I'll need to see your b.o.o.bs to find out if you meet our qualifications.”
She began to take off her blouse. ”You know, I already did this for Big Bill.”
”I understand. But things have changed around here. Now I make all the hiring decisions.”
”Okay.” She took off her blouse, and her bra.
”Nice, Baby.” He walked around to the front of his desk. ”What did you say your name was?”
”Megan.”
He walked toward her, eyes widening, about to take a feel of her young, plump b.r.e.a.s.t.s.
”Megan Cinaway.”
Joey stopped cold in his tracks. ”Put your clothes back on.” He turned around and walked back to his desk and sat down.
She knew her mother had threatened Big Bill with rape charges. Did Joey know about it? She would never forgive her mother if she had destroyed her chances for a job at Cafe Nue. ”What's the matter? Are they not big enough? I could get a b.o.o.b job.”
”No, it's not that. If anything you're too beautiful.”
”Huh?”
”I think you're ready for the majors, Baby.”
”Majors?”
”Yeah. This minor league stuff is beneath you. Hiring you to work here would be a waste of your considerable talents and charm. I'm sending you to New York.”
Megan bounced with excitement. ”New York City?”
”That's right, Baby. The Big Apple. You're going to be a professional model. America is gonna be seeing your s.e.xy bod on the cover of all the top magazines.”
”Wow. You could make that happen?” She slipped into her bra.
”Sure. Now, here's what I want you to do.” He reached into his pocket and took out his money clip. He put some bills on his desk. ”Drive over to the Holiday Inn Express by the airport. Get yourself a good night's sleep. I'll book your flight for you. In the morning, you'll go to the American Airlines ticket counter and tell them your name. They'll give you the ticket.”
Megan was nearly speechless. ”Okay.” She walked over to his desk and took the money.
