A distant night bird mocks the sun
Chapter 19 it was today, it's died away
For the next few weeks of their time working at the new night club, Davy had to continue wearing a disguise and pretending to be a girl. Even though the others promised that they would explain everything to the club owner as soon as the opportunity came up, Davy had learned to just grin and bear it for a little while longer.
It was on a night during their final set for the evening when the four monkees were approached by the club owner who was holding an envelop in his hands.
"Okay boys, this should just about cover everything. "
"Does this mean we're fired.?"Mike asked as he opened the envelope
"Thats not a problem is it?"
"How come you're letting us go?"asked Peter
"Its time for some changes around here,and unfortynately,you boys and Ms. Jones arent included."
Watching as the club owner walked away,the guys all looked at each other,and decided that now would be the perfect time for the truth about Davy pretending to be a girl to come out.
"Alright fellas, I think its high time for a little payback. "said Mike
"What did you have in mind?"asked Peter
"I think I will leave that up to our dear friend Micky."Mike said with a smile
"What are you going to do Micky?"asked Davy
"Cribbage."Micky said in a solom tone
Nodding their heads, all four monkees headed towards the club owner's office and knocked upon the door. As soon as the door opened, the guys were asked why they hadnt left the building.
"What are you still doing here.?"
"Well sir,we were wondering if you would like to join us in a friendly card game before we leave the club for good."said Mike
"What kind of a card game?"
"Oh nothing but a little game of cribbage."Micky sighed
"What exactly is cribbage?"
"Its an easy game to play. "said Peter
"In fact, we'll show you just how easy it is."said Davy
Once the club owner agreed to a game of cribbage, the guys got down to business. Even though cribbage was played a certain way that involved certain rules, the guys decided to make it a little more confusing. It was the middle of the game when the club owner was scratching his head trying to figure it out, that all four monkees had Cheshire cat grins upon each of their faces.
Wondering if he was ready to accept defeat, the four of them left the tabke they were sitting at and just as they were about to leave, Davy approached the club owner and told him that he was a guy in girl's clothing.
Once Davy was done, he and the others left the club holding the envelope and climbed into the car and began the drive for home.
Now that they were temporarily out of work, the guys knew they would have to look for another job before their landlord shows up and once again threatens to throw them out on the street if they don't pay the rent on time.
"Now that we're not working anymore, what are we going to do about finding a new job?"asked Davy
"Check the want ads, and hopefully something will catch our
interest."said Mike
"Will that be before or after the landlord throws us out?"asked Micky
