Chapter 3: The Aftermath

Jimmy continues his story---The Marshalls arrived and immediately said it was an inside job. They gave both the afternoon shift Deputy and the night Deputy lie detector tests. Of course they passed with flying colors. After listening to the night Deputy tell about the firecrackers out front they figured it was a diversion for someone, probably his girlfriend to get into the jail and release Jose. They put out all kinds of bulletins for both of them and his Harley, all to no avail. The Feds hung around town for a week or so then left. I never bothered to check on their progress with the case and soon it went cold. I did see Jose’s picture in the post office one day. His tattoos were described pretty well. I imagined he would be proud!

“I bet that’s why you retired. People would not like voting for the man who let the murderer of a well-respected lady escape on his watch.”

Becky walked up to the table with a towel wrapped around her. She is holding the towel with one hand and in the other both the top and bottom of the bikini.

“That happened 10 years before Jimmy retired. He won two more elections after that ‘escape’. When Charlie Benson, Mrs. Benson’s grandson, who owns “Benson Tool and Equipment Rentals”, let it be known that Jimmy had rented a wood chipper a couple of days before the escape, well people would just nod their heads and grin. It also did not go un-noticed the Jimmy never wasted time looking for either Jose or the girl.”

“What happened to Ronda?” That’s what Bobby wants to know after listening to what we had done?!

“She hooked up with one of the female Marshalls that had come to town to search for Jose. She became a United States Marshall and now she and her partner fly all over the country looking for escaped convicts.”

Bobby stood up and said it was time for his medicine and again thanked me for an ‘interesting’ morning. He smiled at Becky then took her hand.

“And thank you Becky! You made an old man very happy this morning.” With that said he walked down the steps and back over to his house. Becky waited until she heard his door close.

“A wood chipper?! A FUCKING WOOD CHIPPER? Where did that come from?”

She is laughing so hard I think she may wet herself!

“It did happen on Halloween so I made it a horror story. Thanks for the help with that ‘Bensons’ Tool and Equipment Rental’. That sold it!”

“You’re welcome.”

I mean where is the horror in us driving Jose up in the mountains to an abandoned mine shaft, putting a bullet in his head and throwing him in. I think a wood chipper adds a certain flair to the story. But what was that about Ronda being able to touch her nose with the tip of her tongue?”

“She can do that. I’ll get her to show you the next time she visits.” Ronda is not married and still works as an investigator for the state. She spends a few days each year with us here in Florida.

Becky stands up straight and looks at me with that silly grin of hers. I know that grin!

“Daddy I’ve been a bad girl.”

Becky is now talking in her little girl voice. She knows that turns me on!

“What did you do?”

“I let Bobby see me naked! Not just my titties he saw my kitty!”

“Little girl you’re going to get a spanking for that!”

Becky dropped the bikini and towel on the deck then ran naked towards the door.

“Promises, Promises,” she shouted as she stepped inside.
