MY OWN CRIMINAL RAT CHAPTER 10


The woman after counting and collecting the cards cut the cash in half and placed the cards to the right side of her as if she was negating it from the collection of the wallet proceeds. She then got up and spun around opening a drawer and returned with a small dark trash bag that she dumped all the wallets into.  “Go take these and dump them somewhere in a commercial trash bin off an alleyway on Hollywood Blvd soon. We can’t get caught with the wallets and ids that is an instant bust. Rooskie knows what to do with the cards you will get 25% of that cut. The cash we cut 50/50” the woman said as if any resistance to the statement was unthinkable. Johnny didn’t believe that this was a fair cut on the work he alone had done but when Rooskie showed up again at the doorway and put his hand onto the stack of bank and credit cards Johnny decided not to say a word about it.  Next time, he thought, he wouldn’t show them what he had been successful at stealing but would take his cut out before he returned so he would be the decider. For now this would do as the money she handed to him was plenty to get his returning hunger fed and some good cocaine too.

It was evening now and Johnny was tired from the day’s events. The woman however seemed charged and energetic still and she told Johnny to follow her into the living room. When he entered the living room Rooskie was seated at a reclining chair and had changed his sweat drenched clothes from earlier in the day. He sat there motionless staring at the woman as she stood in the middle of the room and danced. Johnny froze as he gazed on the woman her body moving like liquid to the music lightly heard in the background and he felt once again mesmerized. She motioned for Rooskie to come dance with her but Rooskie continued his motionless stance looking at her as if seemed awakened on a deeper level but was held by a trance.  Johnny began to move closer to her dancing up to her body closer and closer until they touched. The woman stepped backward but Johnny could see the pleasure in her eyes as he reveled in the sight of her; she knew her power and he felt even deeper feelings for her. She began speaking softly to Johnny “We can have it all you and I, you have the perfect personality and perfect body shape to pull off the perfect scam. I will show you how. I will show you how to be a god among men. You are better than them all. You deserve to take from the world and you will see what the world will give you.”

The next morning Johnny woke up on the living room floor not knowing what had occurred after dancing with the woman. He shook his head to try to wake up faster and surveyed the room; he was the only one in it now and there was no trace of the woman or Rooskie from sounds in the house.  He walked slowly in the kitchen trying to be quiet following his instinct alone. There was no one in the kitchen and the trash bag of wallets was gone as was the pile of bank and credit cards. A small pile of cash remained in the place where the woman had handed it to Johnny at the table the night before.  Johnny grabbed the cash and stuffed it into his pocket after counting it quickly.  He then walked to the back door and looked out and saw that the van was missing. He then turned to survey the rest of the house he had not yet seen cognizant that there may still be someone in the house. As he walked up the hallway the creaks in the floor made him pause. Slowly, he came upon the first bedroom that had its door slightly opened. He first peered in to see if he could see anyone inside and then believing the room empty he gently pushed the door open wider. Before him was a mattress on the floor and woman’s clothing and undergarments, strewn all over and hanging from every furniture piece. Johnny grabbed one of the pieces and pulled it up to his face to smell the woman and then felt relaxed again. He still did not understand this feeling he had for her but he didn’t care to define it he simply continued to find ways to take pleasure in it.  He was also happy to discover that Rookie’s clothes were not in this room and thus hope remained that the woman and Rooskie were not intimate.

He lied on the bed and swirled around in the sheets and clothes; taking her in with deep breathes.  Just as the pleasure over took him fully it then disappeared as he was reminded that the woman and Rooskie may be back soon or that there may still be someone in the house. He jumped up and hurried out of the room placing the door back where it was when he had entered. He then lightly stepped down the hall towards the second bedroom.

He heard no sounds as he approached the half open door. He peered inside and saw Rooskie sleeping on a plain mattress on the floor.  Johnny was shaken but he didn’t leave and instead quickly surveyed the room of Rooskie. Inside were several large trunks that looked like antiques and a single lap top computer resting on top of one of the trunks. Like the rest of the house there were no personal items besides this mysterious collection of large trunks. The smell was rancid and smelled of body odor of Rooskie filled the air of this space. Johnny slowly pulled his head out and walked quietly back down the hall towards the kitchen.

Just as he arrived into the kitchen doorway the woman appeared coming into the back door.  She was dressed in a flowing white gown and a cross of red pouring down the front of the gown.  She greeted him by pulling out cash from her pockets and telling him what a successful time she had today with a few private appointments she had previously arranged with some desperate dying people who couldn’t wait to give her money to live longer and how happy she was happy to take it.  She went to the refrigerator and pulled out more Vodka and poured it this time in two glasses. Johnny took his seat at the table with the woman and drank the Vodka quickly.

She then with excitement in her tone told Johnny her plan for him to get them tens of thousands of dollars at a time and even maybe allow him to take his musical career to success and make them eventual millions.  She explained how Johnny would bring his music industry mark in through his musical pitch with his “My Universe” record and once they agreed to meet for any appointment with Johnny he would be dressed as a woman when he arrived. Once he left the meeting or appointment he would claim he had been raped and get them to give him money for staying quiet about his lie. She explained that these men would not want to fight him over this because they would not want anyone to believe that they had been with a him sexually and thus they would hand the money over and even hand a career over to him if they hit the right mark with the right power.  If anyone resisted even for a second they would spread the word on how they raped Johnny to their job contacts, media and friends and force them to pay through shame and embarrassment and even get publicity for Johnny as a musician. But she explained that she was quite certain that each would fall easily as her experience as a high end prostitute taught her that getting money from rich men was like taking candy from a baby when it came to their precious jobs and reputation. The woman went on that people who had earned their positions would not want to risk losing it all over people believing they had raped Johnny unlike claims of rape by a woman which the woman explained was not as bad for men as rape claims by a man who dressed as a woman.

She ran off down the hallway and returned with an armful of what appeared to be women’s clothes and shoes.  “Here try these on and let’s see how you look.” She handed Johnny the armful of clothes and he dropped them onto the table and began trying them on. She criticized each outfit as he put the clothing on though Johnny loved putting every piece of her clothes on. The woman sat staring at Johnny for a moment thinking how claims made by Johnny who looked ugly dressed as a woman made her plan even better but she knew this was not the right thing to tell Johnny. His arrogance would have to be fed for this to work successfully so she told him he looked sexy dressed as a woman but only in the outfits that would work the best for her plan.

As Johnny tried each of the woman's outfits on the feel and smell of each of them excited him more and more and he didn’t want to take them off. In time the woman noted that she was pleased with three of the outfits; one made of latex, a schoolgirl type outfit and black business type suit that Johnny had tried on. “This is really going to work and it’s going to be great! I am a genius!” the woman squealed as she finished off her Vodka drink and poured another.
