Kathy Decides to Becom a Vigilante
She looked up Sam’s number. There was no answer.
Kathy left the courtroom in almost a daze. The lawyer was going to get him off! He was the reason she was an amputee. He had to be stopped. Her husband was out of town on business. She was alone at the house. By six thirty depression gripped her. She found a black wig and put it on then went to the study and took the pistol her husband kept there from the drawer. She loaded it, picked up two spare clips and took it to the living room. She switched to her sports leg and pulled on a pair of slacks and collected her things. She may be able to shoot him and get away with it. She would shoot him in the right knee, as many times as possible.
She was about to go to the car when the phone rang.
“Seneft’s.”
“Kathy, good to hear your voice. This is Andrew. I have some work for you.”
“Can I pass on this one? I’m really not in the mood.”
“Just hear me out. You know the last cover you shot? They want to do the next one in five weeks. Will you be ready then?”
“Not sure.”
“They told me if you were reluctant they will triple the amount of the last shoot if you give them eight days, not the five you did last time. They need the extra time because they want you to do the whole line including hosiery with two other girls.”
“Well. I may not be. Let me think about it.”
“They will probably go more if you ask for it. They wanted to know if you had sisters that look like you?”
“Why?”
“Well, the look you have, clean, pretty, not harsh, that sells big time.”
“Sorry, no sisters that would do it.”
“They were willing to offer them each one third of what they were offering you.”
“Just how much are they offering me?”
“Well, it comes to pretty close to forty thousand, of course, I get ten percent of that.”
“So a sister would get fifteen thousand?”
“Minus my commission. Yes. But you said you didn’t have a sister. They really want one younger and one older.”
“If I could give you a younger girl that looks like me would they have a problem if she was a gimp?”
