A new town means new stuff!!!

***

We stood in a dingy hotel room, and even though outside the sun was singing and the birds were shining, it felt dirty. Dirty like a dimly lit bar that has not been cleaned in a few months.

Bethany held the gun at my face and she said 'Blake, if i can't have it, no one else is allowed to have it either.'

I held her glance, trying to work out whether the gun she held was a water pistol or not.

'Have what, Bethany?' i said, cooly.

And Bethany said, 'That's what you don't understand Blake, and it's what you never will understand.'

I prepared myself for the spray of water that was to come but it never did. Through a window dived a shadowy figure, and in an instant it had Bethany pinned to the ground. The speed at which it happened somehow slowed me down and it took some time for me to realise who the shadowy figure was.

'Bob! Where did you come from?'

I am trying my hand at writing stories. I wrote this today and i got Bob to help me write some of the sections out because i could not find the words i was looking for. Bob thinks maybe i can sell it under the banner of 'based on a true story', but i don't know yet.

Anyway, that is mostly how it happened. Bethany made me go into a hotel room with her and she demanded i do what she say, but i didn't know what she was talking about so i was awfully confused and therefore unable to do what she wanted. She got so furious she said she wanted to kill me and then Bob came out of nowhere.

Bob explained that he had not gone missing but he had gone into hiding so as to catch Bethany unawares. He said that he also needed some space away from her because 'that girl is toxic and addictive'

Bob apologised and said he had not been telling me the complete truth. He said that yes he had been a door to door salesman and a painter and a musician, but he said that after that he turned to a shadier profession and became a bounty hunter. He said that a few months ago he had been hired to capture Bethany but had not gotten around to it yet because behind closed doors Bethany was an animal wink wink nudge nudge. I said that sounded kind of interesting, and Bob told me i really had no idea.

Bethany screamed in anger for a while but then she calmed down and she said 'Blake, i will find you yet and i will have you suffer for what you have done to me and when that day comes i will laugh and you will hurt.' Then Bob slapped her and said 'i know a rich old man who wants to know what happened to his mansion in sicily two years ago, so we had best get going Beth.'

Bob was also kind enough to bring Turbo with him, and he seemed happy to see me too.

So i worked a deal out with the hotel people downstairs. They are going to let me stay with them so long as i do oddjobs for them here and there when they need things done. It seems like a good offer to me because the people are nice and they are also giving me food. They're even letting Turbo stay with me so long as he doesn't make a mess!

But i also think Bob might have talked to them beforehand too, on my behalf, because they said 'If mr Bob says we can help you, then god damned if we ain't going to try our darndest and hopefully not get killed or injured quite badly!'. Bob gave me a card with his number on it and said 'if you ever need help Blake, let me know and i will do all i can. Also, let's meet up again and play some guitar!' and i said 'Yeah! that sounds cool!'

It is a really cool card too. It has his name on it and everything! Sometimes i wish i had a business card. Something like 'Blake Samuels - World Wide Wandering Adventurer!'

I wonder if i can get them made up somewhere in town?

Blake out.

Ps. Bob told me that Bethany wrote the other posts, and i told him i would delete them because they were a bit strange but he laughed and said they were funny, so i guess they can stay. Bethany is a bit scary and confusing i think, but it is nice to know my arms are developing, because they still seem a bit weak to me.
