Chapter 21

Bald Yannis the Village Protector

Mail order Masha had spent an uncomfortable night on Melecretes’ inflatable air bed in Fotini’s spare room. Dinner with the dastardly Dastan had completely riled her usual composure, leaving her disconcerted. She was more accustomed to besotted admiration than veiled threats from overly possessive types with possible mafia connections. Melecretes had been more than happy to give up his bed to a damsel in distress, but suffered an even more uncomfortable night than Masha, sleeping on the floor by the front door clutching a steak hammer in lieu of a deadly weapon. If Masha had known the Kazakh had spent half the night camped on her doorstep determined to seduce her, she wouldn’t have slept a wink.

Fotini and Nitsa spent several hours speculating on Dastan’s villainous nature, further adding to Masha’s uneasy sensation of fear. “There’s somethin’ dark about ‘im an’ he was a definitely a bit free with the way he suggested ‘aving Mel bumped off.”

“That’s most likely ‘is mafia side comin’ out,” Nitsa suggested.

“If I’d known he wanted Mel bumped off I would have poisoned ‘is food,” Fotini cackled. “The best thing yous can do Masha is lie low ‘ere today, dont’s risk going up to the ‘ospital. Mel an’ me ‘ave to get to the shop now.”

“There’s something I ‘ave to do,” Masha said. “I ‘ave to fill Bald Yannis in on Dastan’s plans to turn the rubbish dump into an environmental disaster zone an’ warn ‘im the greasy mayor is on the fiddle.”

“I’ve an idea, I’ll go and fetch Bald Yannis in my taxi and bring ‘im ‘ere, that way yous wont’s risk running into the Kazakh what might be lurking to get yous alone with ‘im,” Nitsa suggested, thinking her offer gave her a wonderful opportunity to be alone with Bald Yannis.

“I know it sounds wimpish but I dont’s fancy being all alone ‘ere knowing Dastan could ‘ave his eye on me,” Masha cried.

“Yous wont’s be alone. The parrot’s ‘ere, Hattie’s in the kitchen, and Quentin and Deirdre are right next door,” Nitsa said, dashing out to the taxi with Mel and Fotini.

After dropping Fotini and Mel off at Stavroula’s taverna, Nitsa headed over to the hardware shop.

“Yous do ‘ave a way with ladies underwear Yanni,” she cackled, watching Bald Yannis pulling mail order Masha’s stolen silk thong up the legs of the blow up sex doll.

“What do yous want, old crone?” Yannis snapped.

“I ‘ave to borrow yous and takes yous ‘ome with me,” Nitsa replied with a saucy wink.

“Yous ain’t takin’ my husband anywhere,” Soula piped up. “Dont’s yous think it’s time yous stopped chasing after my man, yous disgraceful old hag?”

“But this is serious, the mail order floozy sent me to get ‘im. She found out what that dastardly Dastan is up to an’ now she’s too afraid to leave the house ‘cos he gave her the willies.”

“Ooh Yanni, yous ‘ad better go,” Soula advised. “After all it was yous what encouraged poor Masha to go out to dinner with the mafia chap.
