Chapter 66
CHAPTER 66 Fun Sebastian I thanked Beth for the glass of bourbon and drank quietly as the young ladies took turns on the microphone for Q and A. When Xavier and I first moved to New Salem, we asked who the troublemakers of this town were. Everyone pointed to Big Mike and Ol’ Tucker, two notorious bikers, who loved to push people around. We found them hanging out at a biker bar along the highway and challenged them to a fight. I won both fights and earned their respect. So, if I ask them to move aside, they will, without a second thought. For tonight, I was wearing an expensive dark gray suit, black leather shoes and a Patek Philippe watch, looking more like my actual self, Capo Ba stone Sebastian Domenico, rather than the Dominic Samuels everyone knew in this town. It has been a while since I played ‘dress up’ and I decided tonight warranted a good suit. I saw the appreciative look in Joy’s eyes when I sat beside Liam. She smacked her lips. discreetly as she handed me a pen for the scoresheet. I dropped the pen, knowing she would go down on her knees to pick it up. I grew hard watching her bend down provocatively, biting her lower lip and flipping her hair, trying to reach down for the pen. Her breasts j igg led as she moved while her thighs parted ever so slightly, giving me a glimpse of the cute dark triangle under her yellow lace panties. When she stood up, she placed a hand on my thigh near my groin, then gently brushed her hand against my erection before placing the pen on the table. After she took her seat beside. Liam, I groaned inwardly, completely frustrated. Cristos took turns hosting with a young lady from the local community college. Every time the audience grew loud, we communicated with our teams. As the pageant progressed, we all agreed to wait until the delivery truck showed up before Cristos hacked the CCTV cameras. An early disruption would alert Theodore Cohen and the Sheriff, giving them time to bring in reinforcements. We didn’t want that to happen.
Question and answer portion. I winced as the young girls fumbled with their replies. Cristos and I didn’t want to add a ‘Q and A’ portion, but Joy said it would lengthen the pageant giving Liam and his friends less time to scurry back to Hillcrest. While I filled in for Cris, I had to endure watching Joy flirt with Liam. She was touching his arm, putting her arm around his shoulders while smiling and laughing at his puns. If it 1/5 CHAPTER 66 Fun wasn’t for that tw inkle in her eyes, the twi nkle usually saw when she was negotiating a new contract for a client of hers, I would have thought she was having fun. She meant business, but it was hard to stomach. It was incredibly disgusting to watch up close, but Joy was working her magic to keep Liam preoccupied so he wouldn’t think of the time. But each time her head moved close to Liam’s, as if she was drawing him to kiss her, I had to fight the urge to strangle Liam with my bare hands. I expected I could handle watching her get all touchy-feely with Liam, but seeing it firsthand didn’t sit well with me. I have to admit, it was a hard pill to swallow. Cris, is, on the other hand, was a no show. Bad for him, good for us, because it ruined his I my men h
campaign. According to one was with Pete McDowell. But where they actually were, we didn’t know. “You lost them?” I growled angrily when he gave me the unfortunate news while changing into his suit. My men weren’t as resourceful as Xavier or Sam. “A garbage truck blocked the road, Domenico,” he replied nervously. “Since I had a GPS tracker on Cris’ car, I thought I could catch up to them, but they unexpectedly switched cars. Cris left his car back at the ‘Coffee Haven Diner. I did some digging and found out the diner is owned by the McDowells including the pharmacy beside it. I have Short Tony waiting at the diner in case Cris shows up for his
car.” “Are there any other properties owned by the McDowells?” I asked. “Look into all their properties. One of them could be Pete McDowell’s safe house.” “On it,” he answered, “but I do have a suggestion. Maybe one of you could get a bug inside the McDowell’s residence. It’ll be easier for us to know what they have planned.” ‘Easier said than done,” I replied. It wasn’t as if we never thought of that. “No one, not even Xavier or Cristos, suspected McDowell to be the boss, so we didn’t establish a good relationship with him or his mother. But Xavier is on it. Hopefully, we can kill two birds with one stone.” He nodded his head knowing whatever Xavier had planned would work. “Of course. Beaufort has a one hundred percent success rate.” “That’s right. He will make up for your mistake,” I said gruffly. “Now wait for Big Man Lou’s signal. After Cristos turns off all the CCTV cameras, the lights at Hillcrest will turn on, so the 2/5 O < CHAPTER 66 Fun heriff won’t be able to use his night vision binoculars. Big Man Lou will then give you the to take out the men in the boats. Don’t embarrass me.” ecco w d towards the bar and saw that Nicole had joined Jack, Lisa and Noah. While nthusiastically beside Noah, I noticed Noah was looking towards our a scowl on his face. I expected Jack to be jealous, but it seems Jack and Liam have made certain arrangements to share Joy. I saw how Jack couldn’t take his eyes off Joy carlier and until now, while she flirted with Liam, he still couldn’t take his eyes off of her. He actually looked happy. This I didn’t expect.
I asked De Luca to do some digging into Noah Jensen’s background and finances, but he only found a few details. What surprised me though is, unlike Jack, Noah had zero debt and was able to put up his own business with Pete McDowell working under him. It was quite bizarre. Based on my own experience, I believed Jack eamed more than Noah. Unlike Jack whose father had already died, Noah’s mother needed private care which was quite expensive. So, how can someone like Noah be debt free? Jack, until now, was still paying off his dead father’s medical expenses. It was quite an enigma. Xavier had a feeling Noah’s secret lay at home, because Sam found nothing in his office. Anyway, We ar are determined to unravel the mystery named Noah. Xavier, I knew, would find a way. The sudden shouting and screaming from the audience brought me back to the present. The crowd favorite, Contestant Number Eight, had just finished answering some mundane question the female host had pulled out of her as s and was now waving enthusiastically to the crowd. S hit! I didn’t listen to her answer. “It’s almost time,” I heard Cristos’ voice say via coms. “Keep an eye on the delivery truck.” I inched closer to Liam and Joy whose heads were hunched together, discussing the answer Contestant Number Eight had just given, hoping they could provide me some insight. “This is a beauty contest,” Liam began, “so I don’t see the point of answering questions. She may not be too bright, but all in all, she’s pretty and the crowd loves her. I can already picture the people on the streets, cheering for her as her float passes by.” I looked up at the honey blonde, brown eyed nineteen year old who was waving to the crowd in her sparkling gold gown. She suddenly noticed I was staring at her and blew me a kiss. My brow furrowed, trying to remember where I’ve seen her before. I looked down at the scoresheet for her name… Marla Lawrence. C 3/5
CHAPTER 66 Fun Silver Spoon Diner! She works part time at the diner and sometimes carries a black sling bag. Gosh, I didn’t even recognize her. She dyed her hair blonde and stepped out of her usual baggy clothing to show off her slender and toned body underneath. Hmm…. If I couldn’t get Nicole to tell me anything, maybe Marla would be willing. I quickly looked back up at the stage and winked at her. From underneath the lights, I saw her blush. The end of her pink tongue darted out to moisten her lips, then she looked back down at me and smiled. I noticed the evil tw inkle in her eyes. Baby girl likes to play. I sat up straight and licked my lips, my eyes never leaving hers. Her mouth opened in surprise, but quickly turned into a big grin. “Base, headlights approaching. Men are in position,” I heard Big Man Lou’s voice over the coms. I looked at my watch. It was almost midnight. I glanced over at Joy who flipped her long hair away from her chest, giving Liam an unobstructed view of her cleavage: Liam, the dog he was, had his face so close to Joy’s chest that if he stuck his tongue out, it could touch one of her breasts. I looked down at his pants. and noticed the outline of his bon er poking out. All ten contestants were now walking along the ramp, one last time, before the winner was announced. I hurriedly declaring Contestant filled I in all the blank spaces on mys Number Eight as my winner. “CCTV cameras have been turned off. Proceed as planned,” I heard Cristos’ voice say through the coms. “You have one minute to get into the water before the Sheriff discovers the problem with the CCTV cameras. After exactly sixty seconds, I will turn on the lights t obscure his vision.” to
I leaned back in my chair and smiled as Marla Lawrence slowly twirled in front of me, revealing the smooth supple skin of her bare back in her backless gold gown… and her firm tush. “If Marla wins, she’s going to start charging an arm and leg to watch her dance that stripper pole,” I heard Big Mike say from behind me. Aha!

After placing our drinks on the le, he took the scoresheets and quickly scanned through them. “It’s time to announce our winner,” he said and turned to walk away. I stood up and grabbed his arm. I took out an envelope from my pocket and handed it to him. “Tell Marla Lawrence it’s from me. Tell her, I can make all her problems disappear.” Chapter Comments Luna-Mom really good background detail on Pete and his Mom VIEW 1 POST 26 < SHARE 5/5 Wed, Mar 27This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
