Part VIII

"Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want"

Robert Graham grew up on the bad side of town. He never was much to look at, not to mention talk to. Perhaps that explains why Graham became such a loner. A close circle of friends, that what Graham had.

"My dad always told me, son, at any one time in your life you will be able to count the number of true friends on one hand", Graham was thinking to himself. He believed what his dad had told him; for Graham really only had a couple of really true friends.

RRRRRIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNGGGGGG

"Graham here, start talkin"

"Graham its Lee!"

"Who?"

"Lee, David Lee, you know Bruce Lee's younger brother".

"Hey Lee what's up?"

"I need help with a job. I just got a call from a crazy broad and she says she heard of me and needs me for a job. You know, a JOB!"

"Don't take it if you don't know her. It might me a set-up"

"That's why I'm calling you. I want you to check her out for me with your sources at the department and get the scoop on her"

"Who is she Lee?"

"The dame calls herself Denice. That's not her real name. I will get more information at our first meeting. I'll call you afterwards, O.K.?"

"O.K., remember, don't talk about doin anybody, no talk about JOBS or anything like that. Just find out who the broad is and call me. Get me a picture if you can."

"O.K., thanks. I'm meeting her at the Achilles coffee shop across from the R.E.B. building tomorrow."

"Meeting her on a Sunday, this broad's in a hurry. How will you know her?'

"She's wearing a green blouse, brown hair, looks like Elaine from the T.V. show Sienfield"

"Watch yourself. I don't trust broads"

"Bye"

"Bye"

"Shit. I hate working on Sundays", David Lee compained.

Part IX

"Experience is what you get when . . ."

Denice showed up at the Achilles coffee shop across from the R.E.B. building right on time, green blouse and all. In a parked car looking through binoculars, David Lee convinced himself that this was his contact and that the coast was clear.

"You Denice?", asks Lee.

"Yea, You Lee?, askes Denice.

"Yea"

"I've got work for you Lee. You interested?"

"What kind of work?"

"I'm gonna be entering into a business transaction with an old friend and I need someone to watch my back"

"Watch your back?"

"Yea, be near-by, ready to come to my assistance if the going gets tough"

"Oh, is that all? No problem. What's your schedule"

Denice explains to Lee about her meeting Monday morning in the R.E.B. cafeteria with Nougie and Naber. She explains that they are entering into a business transaction and she wants Lee to be a couple of tables near-by just in case.

"I charge $400 per day plus expenses", expains Lee.

"Here's two days worth. Be at the R.E.B. cafeteria at 6:30 a.m. on Monday. Take a seat at a table near mine, but not too close. Look around and watch out for me".

Lee fans the wad of twenty dollar bills. The breeze on his face and the smell of money exact a half-hidden smile. " Pleasure doing business with you Denice."

"By the way Lee, that's not my real name"

Denice and Lee leave the Achilles coffee shop and part company.

"I guess I don't really need to run ole Denice by Graham. This job seem harmless enough - actually legitimate work. I'm not used to this", Lee says to himself as he chuckles.
