A Token Of My Infection 24.
"I'll have what he is drinking as long as it is Canadian straight up, and he is paying for it"
"Hey, Brian! What's up man? Its been a long time bro, good to see you"
I didn't bother with the bullshit chit chat. I just got right to the issue at hand.
"Eh, not much just getting arrested every other fuckin' week and refinancing my mortgage to pay for attorney fees"
"What? You got arrested? Sorry to hear that man, For what dude?"
That confirmed my suspicion about this prosna Blaise. Not only did this motherfucker tell Anne that I had been arrested yesterday afternoon but my name was in the papers and on the local news for months now there was no fucking way he had not heard of what I was going through. This is why I wanted to wait for him to get his jag on at the bar> I didn't want him to be crisp and weasel his way out. He didn't know it just yet, but he had just stepped on his dick.
There is a lot to be said for patience. When I was in my twenties I would have followed him into that bar and jumped his shit. Which usually got me nowhere fast. Carefully chosen and timely placed words are much more efficient means to beneficial ends.
"Are you saying that you haven't heard anything about my recent legal problems Blaise? I really find that hard to believe. Hey Stahu(I called the bartender down).
"My name is Stan smart ass"
"Ok, sorry bout that, listen I was just talking with my friend, and your fellow countryman Blaise here and he informed me that he has been living under a rock and was completely unaware that I have been experiencing legal difficulties, have you heard anything lately about my situation Stash?"
"Yea, and I hope you get 50 years asshole. I told you my name is Stan"
"Ok STAN!, I am trying to be respectful and address you by your proper Slovak name would you rather I called you roundheader?"
"Fuck you! Get out"
" Ok Stash, im going, before I get clubbed with the Kielbasa you got behind the bar"
"I guess right now is not the best time to INFORM you of my recent legal problems Blaise, I will catch you some other time and bring you up to speed"
I left and waited across the street again for him to leave the bar. About an hour later, A cab pulled up and blew the horn, Blaise walked out and got into it. I followed and watched him get dropped off at the "office" I had not been to the office in quite a long time, there was only one reason to go there and I was done with that. However this was a unique circumstance. I waited only long enough for Blaise to walk in and sit down before I walked in and stood behind him.
There was not a seat open on either side so I just stood there about 2 feet behind him staring at the back of his head until his perirhinal vision picked me up.
"What the fuck? Are you following me?"
The sound in his voice let me know that my presence was having the desired effect on him.
"Teddy, me and Blaise are gonna go downstairs, is that cool?"
"Yea, but that beer isn't free down there though"
"Have you ever been downstairs Blaise?"
"Uh, No."
"Well Come on Blaise let me give you the tour of the VIP area"
In the cellar of the office there were 3 or 4 card tables a busted foos ball table and lots of boxes of beer. The ceiling was exposed floor joists with hanging flourescent light fixtures and the walls were the slate stone foundation of the building..hardly VIP accommodations.
"Now I know you like to talk Blaise but right now lets do something a little different and ill talk while you listen ok?"
"Ok"
"Good. Alright now listen to me. This is how it could happen Blaise, just like this. It wont happen now because there are just too many people upstairs so relax. You have got yourself into quite a nasty situation and you have caused some very scary people a lot of hassle and to be perfectly honest with you these people want you gone, and I am not talking about gone fishing Blaise im talking gone to be WITH the fish. Because of your chatting it up with the police about me, the dominoe effect is that these people are wondering if I will get chatty and I got to tell you the truth, I am scared that I might take a swim before you one of these nights."
"Hey I, I dunno what you mean I ..."
"Shhh. Remember, what we agreed on? You just give your jaw a rest and let me finish alright?"
"Yeah, Ok."
"So like I was saying, these people are not pleased with you, and they are people with means. Do you really think it was a coincidence that you ran into Anne out of the blue yesterday? And Think about the past few weeks, haven't you felt kind of uneasy for no explainable reason? Maybe the reason you have felt that way is because someone other than me has been following you, maybe it was two guys in a green Malibu"
I basically gave him a mind fuck. There were no scary people with the means and the ability to kill him, it was a total coincidence that he ran into Anne, and for crissakes the guy is a drug addict he always feels uneasy, there were no guys in a Green Malibu following him but he didn't know that, and Christ there are tons of those cars rolling around he may have searched his mind while I was talking and remembered seeing one somewhere. My only hope was that I gave a good performance and freaked him the fuck out.
"Listen, I am here to help you just as much as myself. I am in trouble with these people too, but right now I have a little more favor with them than you do because they know I have kept my mouth shut. They have given me this opportunity to deal with you as I see fit. If I fail then they will deal with the problem and that may mean you and I both taking a swim. You are from Poland right?"
"Yeah"
"Is your visa still valid?"
"Yeah"
"Then I suggest you get the fuck outta dodge Blaise, I really don't want to put myself under anymore suspicion, but if it comes down to me or you, if you continue to make my situation anymore desperate with these people, you will force me to save myself if they don't get to me first"
He took the bait. In fact, I gave him the money for the airfare and just five days later, I drove him to the Newark airport. As I watched him walk onto that plane I was feeling pretty damn cocky about my performance I wondered if I had missed my calling and should have stayed in La instead of moving east and pursued an acting career. I grounded myself after a moment of these grandiose thoughts and realized Hollywood was only big enough for one Michael Berryman.

Imitation? The sincerest form of flattery?
I think not.
Every -2 Mick gets on this series is flattery.
And very few, if ANY, of those people who -2 the Token series, are remotely capable of IMITATING the quality in this series.
I keep no friends here. I do not attempt to wedge my way into acceptance on this site. I SWING FROM THE BALLS OF NO ONE.
Keep up the great work, Mick. I love where this is heading...
