Tsp Part Three David B Doc Byron
November 21/st, 1963 12 noon.
I got tired of watching Rawhide reruns, so I decided to take a walk down to O'Reilly's bar for a drink. I could only take so much boredom in those days, between jobs. Afterward, I walked down to a men's clothing shop, an EXPENSIVE shop, and treated myself to a new outfit. I bought a leather flight jacket, a black silk shirt, black corduroy pants, and red, snakeskin boots. The price? A measly $1,100. I wasn't worried about it. I already had a tidy little nestegg hidden away for a rainy day, and after this job, I'd never have to worry about anything again. After leaving the clothing shop, looking like a new man, I'd decided to go back to O'Reilly's for one more drink. I met a blond there, believe it or not, that looked just like Marilyn Monroe. Talk about irony.
Anyway, I sat down next to her, ordered a drink, and one for her, too.
3:15 P.M.
The blond and I had ended up going back to my room, {she told me she loved ''Macho'' guys in black leather}, taken a roll in the hay, then she'd left, fifty dollars richer. I didn't usually go out with hookers, but I couldn't pass up the chance to fuck one that looked like Marilyn Monroe. I look back now, and I think part of it was an ego trip, too. Men are predictable pukes, as much as I hate to admit it. I had the new threads and the green, so I took advantage of it. Hell....who wouldn't?
After she'd left, {for some odd reason, I'd felt an overwhelming sense of loss}, I'd sat back down to watch some more TV and relax. There was more news about the president on TV, and his visit to our fair city the next day. Even on the TV screen, he had a strong presense, I'll have to admit. A real flair for the dramatic, too. A real good talker, and and I was sure his looks didn't hurt as far as getting votes, either. One guy, a younger fella who sort of resembled the President, called him ''Jack.'' But, then, I'd hear someone refer to him as John. To me, though, he looked like a Jack. I even detected some sort of accent in his speech, like rural Maine or some shit. Ireland crossed my mind, too.
This guy....DANGEROUS? I'd thought maybe Ivan had brought me the wrong file. A danger to the ladies, maybe, or their husbands, but that was about it as far as I could see. Then again, I'd never had a high IQ. Then again, although I wasn't the sharpest quill on the porcupine, I wasn't the dullest, either. And so it goes.
I had begun to wonder what kind of personal life he had; wife? Kids? Mistress? As far as TV appearances are concerned, I knew looks could be decieving. Still, it was hard for me to believe a man with this much going for him, this much Charisma, would be dead soon.
I popped another beer.
