A Token Of My Infection 16
Money For Nothing.
What Joey thought was useless paper was actually rag paper. Normal paper used daily, like the newspaper, or the paper in books is made from trees . Paper the government uses for money is made from cotton and linen fibers. Rag paper is pressed with thousands of pounds of pressure that is what makes new cash so crisp.
And this was not just ordinary rag paper you can buy at your local staples, this was the stuff the government uses.
How and why I knew what this paper was when I peeked through the hole in that safe is inconsequential.
What was important about this paper was I was 100% sure that the theft was not reported to the police, which was a good thing. However, I was also 100% sure that the owner of this safe was actively pursuing its whereabouts, and that was a bad thing.
"Joey, I gotta call your dad. He is the only one that can open this safe without fucking up the contents"
"Please Uncle B, there has got to be another way other than letting my dad know what I did, I don't want him to know"
We wiped that car down good and waited until dark. We drove out to a stripping hole and shoved it over.
I wasn't paranoid as much about having that safe in my garage now that his car was gone. But I wasn't exactly breathing easy about it.
When George showed up I knew I had to be on my best game trying to bullshit this ex-con. George was a smart guy.
When I had met him earlier that day I thought I picked up a sign from him that he smelled something funny about my story.
I told him that me and Ironhead Timmy boosted the safe and were having a hard time getting it open. He knew I wasn't a thief but he also knew that I was a junkie and I was hoping that he would figure I had resorted to burglary like so many junkies do on their descent into addiction.
I asked Ironhead Timmy to show up for effect.
The contents of the safe yielded very little cash or items that can be easily converted to cash.
It was mostly personal papers deeds, certificates shit like that.
Really, the only thing of interest was 2 bottles of ink with a sticker indicating the paints magnetic ratio. And the rag paper.
It was evident that the guy was a small time counterfeiter. It may surprise you but there are lots of people who counterfeit and get away with it their whole lives because they don't get greedy about it. They just print enough to make their lives a little more enjoyable. The guys who get caught are the guys who churn out half a million and start floating it everywhere.
This guy probably only printed 10k in a year, enough to take his family on vacation or something like that.
There was $1800 bucks in cash that looked like the real deal. I broke it up in the thirds but George refused his cut he insisted that me and ironhead Timmy split it up.
"Lets get rid of this B, I got a place"
We shoved the safe over that damn wall where George had dumped so many other safes not to mention pay telephones, parking meters, change makers etc.
George floored me with what he said next.
"This is the last time I am bailing Joey out. And it is your last time too. From now on he will deal with the consequences of his actions. I cant trust you anymore B, you lied to me and it doesn't matter what circumstances there were that caused it, the fact remains you to lied to me and we cant be the kind of close friends that we were before this. Don't call me or come around anymore"
I thought I had pulled the wool over his eyes. Don't ever underestimate a con. Their life behind those bars is dictated by lies. Just one con knows more about lying then 100 each of politicians, lawyers and salesmen.
The next day I contacted the owner of the safe and arranged to meet him.
