CHAPTER 36

Chicago, Illinois

Summer once again sparkled beneath the bright stage lights of The Jerry Schneider Show, as she walked out on stage wearing a short green dress the color of her eyes, along with a pair of red stiletto pumps that accentuated her flaming red hair. Todd was with her this time, and he followed his wife’s lead, and waved and smiled at the audience.

After playing to the crowd, Summer kissed Schneider on the cheek and settled beside him as Todd sat to her right.

When the applause settled, Schneider asked his first question.

“Summer, has there been any sign of Numerical since he made that insane attempt at killing those college students?”

“No, Jerry, the gutless worm has apparently crawled back into his hole.”

“A gutless worm? That’s a harsh insult, and more than fitting, but aren’t you afraid that you’ll make him angry?”

“I couldn’t care less if he gets angry. The man is not only a coward, but an incompetent coward, if he were to come after me, he’d probably shoot his own foot off.”

Schneider opened his mouth in an exaggerated display of surprise while looking directly at the audience, just as he had rehearsed earlier. The TV host had been a failed actor in his youth, and his theatrical skills had not improved with the passage of time.

“Summer, you might want to dial it back a few notches. Take it from someone who knows what it’s like to be stalked by a whack job. You do not want Numerical coming after you because of something you might say that upsets him.”

It was Summer’s turn to play to the audience, and she did so, by looking at them and rolling her eyes.

“Please, I’m not afraid of the coward, Jerry. He’s obviously not much of a man anyway, what real man needs a knife to get laid?” Summer giggled. “Maybe we should rename Numerical, Little Henry, I mean, if the man needs a knife to get some, it must be pretty small, am I right or not?”

The audience hooted, howled, and laughed it up, some, because they thought Summer’s remarks were humorous, but most were just doing what the blinking amber signs above the stage instructed them to do, which was to Hoot, Howl, and Laugh It Up.

When the signs went out, the audience calmed down, and Jerry Schneider was actually wringing his hands as a way of conveying that he was worried.

“Oh, oh Summer, I certainly hope that this guy Numerical isn’t watching the show, or that he hears about it, because if he does, well, let me just say that I wouldn’t want to be in your shoes... although, those are very nice shoes. Are those Ferragamo’s?”

In rehearsal, this was the part where Summer was to stand up in a rush and point directly at the camera, however, Schneider’s impromptu remark about her shoes put her off her timing, still, she stood a moment later and spoke, as Todd stood behind her.

“Are you watching this, Numerical? I hope so, and I issue this challenge.
