Part XIII
"Experience is what you get when......"
Nougie finally agrees to the use of Kirk's name on the brokerage accounts. Naber would of course allow Nougie to sign on the accounts and make trades and transfer funds in Kirk's name.
"Set up six account Naber. James Kirk, Captain Kirk, Jim Kirk, James T. Kirk, J. Kirk and J.T. Kirk", Nougie spouts out the orders.
"Approve them for high-risk, speculation, margin approval, call writing and buying. And set up a money market checking account. And we'll need a book of temporary checks."
Nougie explains how purchases, sales and check kiting will be handled.
"You will get some black marks from the transfer agent, but who cares, the accounts will all be closed in two weeks", laughed Naber.
"My small fee will be normal commission plus ten percent of the proceeds upon liquidation, the later paid to me in cash. Agreed?"
"Agreed", acknowledges Nougie.
"Agreed", acknowledges Denice.
Once again the busty waitress approaches a new customer. Sitting at his table straining to hear the conversation taking place ten feet away, David Lee receives a tap on his shoulder.
"Can I take your order sir", the waitress says.
"WOW, yea, I'll take some fries to go with that Shake", Lee points at the two large DD trophies so prominently displayed, and talks at the same time, eyes hidden behind the dark sunglasses.
"WAP!"
The slap came from nowhere. Lee had never been slapped before so this one took him by surprise.
In one moment of rage, retaliation and retribution, a hand came out of nowhere and at what seemed like a hundred miles an hour, impacted on the left side of David Lee's face; from the corner of his dark glasses down to the bottom of his jaw; the hand that felt like a club took Lee's face and spun it completely around to the point he was looking over his right shoulder.
In what seemed like slow motion, Lee's dark glasses came flying off his nose and sailed across the room. Blood began to stream from the corner of Lee's left eye and bridge of his nose almost immediately.
Lee lost his balance while spinning in his chair and the chair spun out from under him as he headed for the floor in a most ungraceful manner.
"BANG!"
"BANG!"
The gun shots were extra loud inside the small area that made up the R.E.B. cafeteria.
Two of Lee's guns had fallen from their jury-rigged trench coat holsters and fell to the tiled floor landing on their hammers. The impact caused each of the two guns to fire once.
"AAAAEEEEEEEEEE", a woman's screem seem to fill the room at the same time the guns discharged.
"SHIT", yelled Graham as he stood up so suddenly that his table was turned over.
"SHIT, SHIT, SHIT" yelled Nougie, Naber and Denice almost in unison as they dove from their chairs to the floor not really comprehending what was going on yet.
Tom's table was also turned over as he was so frightened from the shots that he fell out of his chair, held on to the table cloth and pulled his table on top of him. "HOLD UP, ROBBERY, POLICE" Tom was heard screaming. Tom urinated on himself as he struggled to wrap a table around himself as if to sheild himself from what he preceived to be a gun battle in progress.
Graham reacted as he had trained himself to react and pulled his automatic from his waist band. Before he could think the large calibre pistol fired-
BOMP!
BOMP!
BOMP!
In a panic Graham fired into his own foot, into the floor and into the leg of David Lee.
"AAAAAAAEEEEEEEEEE"
"AAAAEEEEEE"
Women were screaming and customers were running for the door. Five customers got to the door at the same time and literally crushed each other trying to squeeze through. One customer was trampled by fleeing customers as he made a break for the door on his hands and knees.
Graham dropped his gun, picked up his chair and threw it through the plate glass window behind him.
"CRRRAAASSSHHH"
The sound of breaking glass is like no other sound. The chair made its way to the sidewalk outside the R.E.B. cafeteria and Graham, already bleeding from shooting himself in the foot, made his escape through the opening cutting himself even more on the jagged edges of the glass that remained in the window.
Tom was heard to be yelling "MOMMY" more than once.
David Lee grabed his wounded leg and clenched his teeth together as he curled in pain.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?", Nougie yelled to Naber, his face about two inches from Naber's.
"I DON'T KNOW, BUT I KNOW WE DON'T WANT TO BE AROUND HERE!!!!!!"
"YOU STUPID JERK", Denice yelled to Lee only a few feet away.
"HELP ME DENICE", Lee pleaded.
"HELP YOURSELF JERK", Denice screamed as she hustled out of the cafeteria running bent over about two feet from the floor with Naber and Nougie right behind her.
"YOU KNOW THAT GUY?" yelled Nougie at Denice.
"NO....YES.....WELL SHIT, HE'S MY BODYGUARD", Denice yells back, out of breath, as they run out the entrance to the R.E.B. cafeteria.
"NICE GOING DENICE"
"WHO'S CAPTAIN AMERICA THAT JUMPED THROUGH THE DAMN WINDOW BACK THERE?", Denice yelled.
"HOW SHOULD I KNOW", yelled Nougie.
"KEEP MOVING", yelled Naber.
Police sireens were heard in the distance. First one, then two, then so many you could not count them...... louder..... closer.......louder........ closer..
"WAAAAEEEEEEEEE"
"WAAAAEEEEEEEEE".
"LETS GET OUT OF HERE", Naber yelled.
Denice's car was closest and Nougie and Naber piled in as Denice started the car and put the gear in drive at the same time.
Graham hobbled onto a slow moving bus just pulling away from a bus stop. He put money in the hopper all the while pretending not to be shot and not to be out of breath- but he looked like hell!
"Mommy, that man's foot is bleading" a young girl on the bus was heard to say.
"Shhhhhh", her mom responds turning her young daughter's head away from Graham.
"DON'T MOVE ASS HOLE", a police officer was heard to command at Lee, gun pointed at his head.
"SHIT", Lee said.
"NOBODY MOVE, NOBODY MOVE", yelled several officers arriving on the scene.
"LET ME SEE YOUR HANDS", an officer yells at Tom.
Several officers were heard yelling- "SHOW ME YOUR HANDS OR YOU'RE DEAD" "PUT THEM UP, LET ME SEE THEM" "YOU, ON THE FLOOR" "CALL AN AMBULANCE" "SEAL OFF THE AREA"
"SHOWMEYOURHANDSORYOU'REDEADSHITHEAD!!!!!!!
