"Experience is what you get when . . ."

By now Nougie had lost his "Mr. Cool" demeanor and was obviously shaken. He was staring down the barrel of a blue-steel magnum pointed at the center of his chest and he had to come up with something quick. Sweating, obviously, and with a rattled voice Nougie continued to bargain for his life . . .

"I have friends. Friends in the broker business who can help us. I can take the information on the stock and have my broker friend purchase options the day before the merger, in several accounts, and purchase shares as well, and we won't have to pay for the shares until we sell", Nougie explained.

"What's special about that? I can purchase shares or options and take my time as well. You're running out of air Nougie. Is this the best you can do?"

"No wait!. I mean, we can buy more and escape suspicion because we will have several accounts and we will sell out our positions and pay for the purchase with a bad check. As soon as the broker receives the check, we have the money from the sale wired to money management checking accounts. Naturally the checks will bounce. But by the time the clearing agent finds out, my broker friend will instruct them to re-deposit the checks and by then we will have covered them with the cash proceeds from the sale. I've done it before".

"We can make out like bandits", Nougie pleaded.

"What makes you think I can't do the same thing on my own?", responded Denice.

"You are affiliated with an investment banking firm. All your funds will have to clear the bank before they will release you any money. Besides, heavy trading in options the day before the merger will be looked upon with suspicion and you will draw attention to yourself. You need me Denice!"

"Alright, I'm in. Who's the sleeze broker?"

"That's my secret. Let's just say his name is Naber"

"Naber? What kind of name is that?", asked Denice. "Sounds like a pimp or a con artist"

"Never mind the name Denice. Do we have a deal?"

"Yea, I guess, but any sign of trouble and you bought yourself a grave Nougie. I know where you live and I know where you work."

"What about Kirk?, asks Nougie.

"Leave him. I'll mess things up here and leave after you're gone. We'll meet first thing monday morning in the restaurant on the first floor of the building. We will then plan to open the brokerage accounts and sort out the details. Bring that slimy broker Naber with you."

"What's the name of the restaurant Denice?"

"R.E.B.'s cafeteria, of course. 6:30 a.m., don't be late Nougie, I mean that".

"O.K., I'll see you at 6:30 a.m. Denice"

"By the way Nougie, my name's not Denice. So don't try to do any research on me"

"I thought I knew you Dencie. Is there anything about you that I do know for sure?"

"Yes Nougie, my boobs are real"

"Experience is what you get when . . ."

Nougie leaves the R.E.B. building confident that he had just bargained for his life. Nougie knew he would have to deliver on his deal to Denice, or whatever her name is.

"Oh what the hell", Nougie thought to himself. "I'll pull this deal off and retire to St. Thomas and build that beach house. Maybe ole' Denice will come in handy afterall . . ." Nougie began to formulate a plan of his own.

"You O.K. Kirk?", asks Denice.

"Yea, if you call falling flat on you face and pretending you didn't feel it O.K.. How was my acting job baby?"

"No bad, it certainly fooled Nougie. I still don't trust the bastard"

"Come here baby and give ole' captain Kirk a Jerk"

"Anything for you my love stud"

Denice and Kirk engage in close physical contact that at least one person in this Country would NOT call a "sexual act"

"Are my boobs really too small for you baby", Denice shyly says.

"They are perfect just like you Denice. Now lets straighten up here and get out before we're noticed."

Meanwhile, in a run down shack of a home near the railroad depot the phone of Robert Graham rings.

RRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNGGGGG

"Graham here, start talkin"

"Graham its Nougie. I got a job for you. Can we meet?"

"Nougie you piece of shit, what rock did you crawl out from under?"

"Its important Graham. And there's a bonus in it for you it you do a neat job"

"Now you're talkin. Where do you want to meet?"

"Do you know where the R.E.B. building is?"

"Yea, I here it a class A building owned by some selfish prick with a big ego".

"Meet me in the R.E.B. cafeteria on the first floor at 6:00 a.m. on monday. Bring your camera."

"Got it. R.E.B. cafeteria at 6:00 a.m. I hope taking pictures is not the only shooting that I'll be doing?"

"Don't worry pal. You will have an opportunity to put your real skills to use soon enough. In the meantime, I need drink. I lost a buddy today and I've got to get these rattled nerves under control. I'm headed to Spurs for some liquid back bone and some female company."

"Good luck Nougie. Hang in there and I'll see you Monday."

Nougie hangs up the receiver to the payphone located across the street from the R.E.B. building. He pauses for a moment to reflect upon the recent death of his friend Kirk.

"Poor bastard. Kirk why did you get mixed up in this", Nougie says to himself.
