2005

Manny stood in front of the house in the cold weather just staring.. and with his imagination, he was back insdide its warm comforts// he remembered the fireplace, the stairs that led up to the bedroom.. with the pictures of her and the kids there on the wall.. and the bedroom, although always messy, it was a welcome sight to him, because in the bed, he would make love to her.. in every position they could think of.. they would blth orgasm togehter, then fall asleep in each others arms..

The cop pulled up in front of him.

"You know she has a restraining order on you right??"

Manny nodded and walked back up the street to his beat up car.. he turned one more time as a strange man entered the house...

PRESENT DAY

Ron's face turned white when she enterd the room.. it was the LAST person he expected in his club.. the last...

His frightened eyes looked at her, then at Manny. Manny turned around and smiled at the female figure..

"Hello Thelma" he said with a lift in his voice.. glad you could make it out.. been a long time..

Thelma looked around the VIP room, a room she spent many a day practicing her trade, and then she met Manny.. and it was supposed to all change..

"Yea, I see it hasnt changed a bit.." she looked at the fallen stripper wiping her muth and trembling on the soled carpet..

Thelma looked at her with mock pity, then turned her latin gaze upon Ron.

Thelma was tall for a Latina.. at 5'8 she commaned attention and with her gorgeous smile, long black hair, and 36DD's (double DAMNS she called them), she was the most popular stripper Ron had.. but she didnt play, she was legit.. at least, we all wanted to think she was..

"She blowing you now Ron" she asked.. not really expecting a response.. and she didnt get one..

She turned her gaze at Manny.. "Lets get this meeting over with hun"

Manny acknowledged her, nodded his approval.

Thelma didnt expect to see the 38 pointed at her face, and when the gun went off, and her once beautiful smile exploded into bits and pieces of brains, and teeth, Manny could only imagine her last thought..

Bits of Thelma exploded onto the stripper, when she screamed.. Manny silienced that scream with a bullet in the forehead..

Manny turned his gaze at Ron.

"What the fu...!!: Ron couln't get the words out.

Manny held out his hand, picked Ron up, and grabbed the piece of paper off the floor.. blood and brain splattered on it.

Ron stood tall, straightened his clothes out, looked around at the grizzly scene and said, "I was worried for a sec partner"

Manny smiled and they turned together as security was running into the room.. they stopped when they saw Ron alive..

"clean this shit up and get my car" Ron told the big blonde ape,

Down he stairs a couple of customers were running for the door.. Manny aced them in the back before they hit the Houston night..

They both got into the back seat, and tore off into the night.

"I'll take the paper now " Ron held his hand out, and waited.

A lone gunshot rang out, and a body was deposited on Rankin Road.

The car pulled over, and Manny and the driver changed places.. and there was laughter as they headed towards the target.
