Chapter Twenty-One
The tall and bullet-headed man was beginning to think he was wasting his time.
He had first seen the woman walking along the road several days ago. For the pure hell of it and with nothing better to do, he had struck up a conversation with her. He had seen her every day since then, always at about the same time; he had always made a point to chat her up.
Just for the pure hell of it.
At least there was nothing phony about a bitch like her.
But now that she could actually do something for him, it was beginning to look as though the bitch wasnât going to show. Either that, or he had missed her because some asshole had got to her first. Every day he had seen her she had left with some fuck that had showed up and flashed some green. It was obvious enough that she was meeting some of her best paying regulars. That had to be the only reason she bothered coming here because it wasnât exactly a prime location for a bitch in the business of peddling her ass.
He was getting impatient, not to mention a little pissed. He had been there for almost twenty minutes; he couldnât hang around much longer. He already felt like he stuck out like a turd on a plate; some fuckhead was sure to call down the law on him and soon. That he needed about as much as he needed a new asshole.
Fuck it, he had decided and was about to walk away when a voice from behind him startled him.
âHey, there, handsome. Fancy seeing you here, again.â
Fuck me! The bitch had slipped up on him! He wheeled around and glared at her, his hands suddenly itching to reach out and snap her fucking neck. He fought the urge and controlled it, barely.
âSorry,â the woman drawled, her face now a little wary. âDidnât mean to scare you, big guy.â
âForget it,â he told her, his voice sounding almost normal. He even managed a smile. âBeen waiting for you.â
âYeah, I figured that.â She arched an eyebrow as she studied him. âIâm also beginning to think thereâs something you want me to do for you. Am I right, honey?â
âToday, yeah, there is.â
âJust name your pleasure. Iâm down for anything you can think ofâand I do mean anything.â
âHereâs what I want,â he began, and for most of the next minute he detailed his request and finished with what he was willing to pay for the favor.
The woman stared at him with a mixture of suspicion and incredulity. She was thin to the point of emaciation, her short brown hair dirty and tangled. Her obvious use of crack and meth had ravaged what had probably been a pretty face at one time, and she was missing several of her front teeth.
âThatâs what you want me to do?â
âThatâs it.â He thought it an inspired idea. Sure, he was taking a chance; he had no doubt the cops would be all over it.
