LK Angel, what I've done is I've turned on my Mobi Glass so I can record our conversation because, you know, I'm not the best note taker in the verse and there are a couple things that I want to go back over with you about. Earlier I advised you of your rights, is that correct?
JAF Sure, that’s right.
LK Would you kindly speak up a bit, I’m a little hard of…
JAF Sure, sure. This got ya working?
LK Yes, thank you., and you know, yesterday we talked briefly about… You bought some Kik…
JAF I was, I was found… it was in my whereabouts and whatnot. That’s what’s called a distinction.
LK Yes, I distinctly recall seeing the vid, but that’s not why you’re enjoying my company, is it?
JAF Nah. I know. Yeah, I know like all the secrets.
LK We’ll get there, what I want to know, the reason you’re not in a cell and we’re even having this sit-down…
JAF About that flighty little bird. The one what gets in folks’ heads.
LK What can you tell me?
JAF Awe nah, you wants ta avoid this particular female, get me? She’s… Yeah see she’s not all there but she knows things. She up and knows stuff she shouldn’t be up and knowing about? Drift?
LK What’s she go by?
JAF All of it. Nah, no birther name but Sal…
LK The one who sold you the Kik?
JAF Nah, see now you’re just twisting and I’m gonna be right at home in that cell you talked up before if we keep jumping this point. Thought you were scoping the prize?
LK Right, right… about the…
JAF Head Case.
LK Head Case?
JAF Yeah, the Lady. She answers to a whole mess a stuff. Head Case, Weaver, Ripper, Mind Spook…Freaky shit if you ask me. So out there, on the count of what she does.
LK What does she do, Angel?
JAF She gets in your head, ya know? Like peels back the layers. Ain’t no one keeping her out neither. When she looks at ya, with those eyes, she… she… can see your deepest and darkest, ya know? That’s what they say. She knows what you had for breakfast, where ya live, who ya banged… it’s ripped right outta ya…
LK And this Ripper, she was at Sal’s when it happened?
JAF Yeah, ya see Sal, who I had just met for the first time ever in my life, was having a sit-down with some folks, who I’m guessing now were less then desirables, when I sat at the bar…
LK The “Jet Wash?”
JAF That’s the joint, so like I was saying I come in for a drink cause I was thirsty and all and I see Sal getting all heated. He stands up and grabs the Head Case by the arm, real strong like. He’s screaming up a storm too.
LK What was he saying?
JAF It was hard to get, think he was talking how she musta gone through his stuff, like his personals and shit, ‘cause she repeated this time. Yeah, he kept saying “How’d ya’ know when she landed?” Then, one of the unfortunates at the table pushed back his chair and was pointing and shouting, “She’s the Ripper, void she’s the Ripper!”
LK What did he mean? About the landing? A ship?
JAF Hell if I know Chief, but that’s not the surprise. See, the Ripper didn’t like being touched is what I’m guessing cause Sal’s face went all white and he stood up extra tall. He let go straight away and started popping himself in the head with his fist. That’s when the other folks at the sitting started copying. The Four of them just popping at their heads like there trying to brain themselves. Then the screaming. Hells the screaming! That’s when I got myself straight and backed to the bar. Shit.
LK What happened then, Angel? You’ve got everyone screaming and hitting themselves in the head.
JAF Hitting and clawing now. Then Sal’s big old eyes start crying red. Leaking like a cooler. Then all the others, clawing and bleeding outta everywhere. And ya know what, the Head Case just stood there. Never flinched. Not once I tell ya. Just stood and watched as every one of them poor sonsabitches slumped to the floor. Dead as death!
LK What did she do then, Angel?
JAF The crazy, nah she was too tight for crazy… She comes walking over to the bar. Looks me right in my eyes… and ya know what she did?
LK What’s that?
JAF She smiled. Thin lips curled all up, gave me the chills it did.
LK Why did she leave you with nothing but a smile, Angel? The Barkeep had run out by then, we have his recorded Mobi Alert, so you were the only one there. The onlywitness… And I use that term lightly. Truth is, your words are not ringing all that true to me right now.
JAF Truth to the Verse, Chief. It happened, all like that.
LK Seems a more likely story is you were fixing to score some of that fine Kik we found “in your whereabouts and whatnot” when the deal went bad. You took…
JAF Nah, nah the woman, she done it! The Ripper man!
LK You took some scrambler or other weapon and decided to cover your tracks? Make an example?
JAF You’re full! Ya know you’re full too. You was talking at me about her! I ain’t no Mire Mutt, I know what’s what. Oh man, ya gonna pin me with the wrap and keep that Ripper all hush! Awe I watch the vids Chief. I ain’t…
LK I think I’ve heard all I need to, Angel. I am going to turn off the Mobi now.
JAF Nah man, I’m amenable, you see… Let me help. It’s all good.
LK The time is 1122.
