Chapter 44: The Boyfriend-Girlfriend Assassination

Joni quickly sat down. The heat from the sun was blazing. Geraldine didn't know how she did it wearing that Chanel suit. If was she was in her position then she'd be sweating bullets. Geraldine wore a pair of khaki shorts and a tank top. In this heat, nobody takes chances in the summer heat.

"You did good at that previous job, definitely worth your salt" Joni praises "Shit man, you didn't say anything about those motherfuckers bein' ugly," Geraldine sighed "shit I can't unsee that; gonna have motherfuckin' nightmares for weeks" she complained "Well, they weren't handsome studs with muscles" Joni tells her, "Besides at least the three of them are dead and we got that money back. You did a good thing Geraldine, you made a lot people happy" Joni praised "Well shit, you gave me that six million, may as well get some interest with it" the passerby's walk around them. "So what's the problem today?" Geraldine looked ahead "Today is going to be a double job, two birds who need to be killed.

"Brian Keller and Molly Madagan, they're boyfriend and girlfriend" she says "Somethin' special about them? Other than that they're together?".

"Keller and his girlfriend are-were in the pharmaceutical business" Joni popped her coffee cup open "Medicine?".

"Yeah, I won't say the medical name, I don't want to confuse you" "Yeah-yeah, fuck you".

"As I was saying, this pill that they created was a wonder drug for ulcers and sold pretty much everywhere. What the people who bought and took the stuff didn't know, it was never tested. The FDA did the test and they found out that stuff had a bad effect on the liver and caused some blindness" Geraldine looked at her "Goddamn, that bad?" she whispered "You should hear what it's done to peoples blood pressure, it's a nightmare" Joni throws her coffee cup away "Did the courts get them?" Geraldine wondered "Well, they were subpoenaed by a grand jury and tried to weasel they're way out of it, it went to trial but they got let go".

"Shit, how?".

"From what I was told from my source, the jury got paid off. Can you fucking believe that? Justice for all, what a fucking joke" Joni spits on the ground "Are they gonna put them on trial again?.

"Right now they're trying to get them back to court but it's taking too long, so this is where you come in".

Joni pulls out her phone "I'm going to send this app to your phone, it's going to disguise your number as theirs; sending the numbers now". With that Geraldine's phone dings. "You want me to call them?" "You don't need to talk to them but they got to know that it's each whose making the call".

Geraldine pulled her phone out and looked at the numbers "Where are they?"

"Keller's at the Chinese movie theater in Downtown Vinewood, he loves watching oldies and his blonde bimbo whore faced girlfriend spends her time at Dieter Sachs; as if that whore needs to wear jewelry".

Geraldine pondered her options "You know I think I got the right medicine for them, it hits the spot".

Joni grinned "Bet it'll knock them right out".

Geraldine got up "Yeah, it usually does".

...

She found the spot perfect. No one in sight.

Geraldine puts the magazine clip into the M-14. An abandoned pigeon coop was where she was at. Despite it not being occupied, it smelled of dank; old stale dank. Goddamn pigeons she tells herself. They really were the flying rats that they were named after.

She looks down the scope. Geraldine positioned the rifle using the chicken wire to keep it still. She puts the Bluetooth in her ear.

"Okay..." now she waits.

For an hour and a half she waited, only dank to keep her company.

Geraldine resisted the urge to smoke her last two cigarettes She tells herself that should have stayed outside on the roof. Just then Geraldine saw someone who looked like Keller. Lanky. Neatly cut brown hair. Stupid looking brown goatee. And wearing a cheap looking suit. How tacky looking she thinks "Okay, let's get to work". She types the phone number in.

The dial tone is heard and finally he picks up.

"Baby? Baby? What is it?" he asked "Baby? Look I know you're worried about the courts coming at us again but listen, like I said nothing is going to happen" Keller reassured "Baby come on, don't give me the silent treatment. Look we'll go to the Banner, rent a room and get dirty".

"Baby? Baby? Baby come on".

Her finger squeezes the trigger. The bullet slams into his chest. His chest explodes with red. He quickly falls on the ground. On the line Geraldine heard people screaming, wondering what just happened. Geraldine ended her call. "Well guess you won't bang your girl in that hotel room tonight" Geraldine sneaked away from the coop. One down one to go.

Dieter Sachs Jewel Store

Geraldine observed the blonde as she looked at the silver necklace. She was pretty but looked like the typical blonde: annoying. Talked to much. Probably drank whole bottles of red wine. Probably complained a lot. And likely was really stuck up about everything in her life. Plus judging by the number of people they swindled, she looked like the type that spent on whatever she wanted when she got the chance to.

Definitely a big spender she tells herself. Too bad she won't be spend any of that money in the next few minutes. Geraldine took position on a parking structure.

"Alright bitch," Geraldine aims down the scope "get ready to check out" she dials her number.

"Hello? Brian? Brian? Is this your way of trying to cheer me up? Look, I don't like the idea of the courts coming at us again. I say we take our chances and leave the country, disappear to Europe.

Geraldine just listened.

"You know what? Maybe I should leave by myself. just take all the money and leave. Maybe I should take that friend of yours from the tennis club; what's his name? Tony. You want to know something Brian?" it felt like listening to a bad soap opera "Me and Tony, we've been doing it since you went out of town that one time".

Geraldine tried not to laugh Oh my god! she laughs internally "You know what Brian? Tony at least pays attention to me, he always says I'm so smart! And at least he fucks me like a real man!" Oh shit! You had to go there! Geraldine kept holding in her laugh "I'm going to be completely honest with you! I never liked you! I was only with you so because I felt sorry for you! Their I said it! So sorry, I don't want to be Mrs. Keller!"

"Brian? Brian? Are you listening to me?".

The left side of her head explodes. Red matter flies onto the jeweler. A high pitched scream is heard. "Yeah bitch," Geraldine ends her call "I heard you and I'm glad you ain't gonna get to go on that European vacation".

Geraldine sped down from the parking structure "Hey, it's done. You weren't kiddin' man. that blonde bitch was a trifflin' ho" she finally laughed "It's a good thing that those pricks are gone, I hope that blonde haired bimbo twat got was coming to her".

"If half of her head explodin' is what you mean then yeah.

"Good riddance then, the money is being transferred to your account; enjoy".

Geraldine looked as the ambulance speed to the jewel store. "Well that shit was for the greater good" she chuckled "Oh well...".

She tunes into the news and sure enough; the days event were being played back to her. The light turns green and she takes a right. It was definitely worth her salt.
