“Damn shame we didn’t know a good clairvoyant right now, then we would know what is going on” Steve said. Spider laughed, “I do know one! “You have to be fucking kidding me? Pete said with wide eyes. Pete and Steve looked at Spider in disbelief. “What’s her name Bro? Pete said with a chuckle. “Um, does it matter? Spider said with a slight shuffle of his feet by the phone. “You’re a dark horse and how did you come across one of those may I ask Bro? Says Pete with a Cheshire cat grin as he folded his arms to hear this one.
Spider got up to get another beer and was unsure if it had been such a good idea to say anything at all. He wasn’t embarrassed but he didn’t want them putting him to the test. “So what’s it going to cost us to gain some insight into this dilemma of ours then Spider and do we get mates rates Bro? Steve sarcastically said to Spider. “Well I would say it won’t cost us anything but the phone call if she is home because I know the person and I make no promises we will learn anything concrete”, Spider said as he reached for the address book with a serious tone. Pete and Steve watched Spider switch it over to intercom so they could hear too as he dials the number. They hear her answer and she has this very cute voice as they look at each other wondering if this was all bullshit. “Hey girl, how the bloody hell are you? Spider said. He prayed like hell she wouldn’t get it fucking wrong, not that he thought she had got it wrong when he had asked her a few months earlier how things were going for him but the Bros didn’t know that. She was quite popular for her predictions where she lived. “Hey Stranger, long time no hear, what’s up? “Not much, got a problem that I thought you might have a look at for me, if that’s okay? Spider said as he glanced over to his two Bro’s who had silly grins on their faces. “Sure Spider, business as usual? “Can you tell me if my business is doing okay, I’m not sure but I think something is up”, Spider asks her. She laughed and said, “ Sounds like too many Chiefs and not enough Indians.” The silence wasn’t for long when she began to rattle off all this stuff. Pete and Steve look at each other because that didn’t sound right and Spider began to cringe. “If you change your routine and call around to the Office unannounced you might see for yourself what has been going on. There is someone in the Office that has been intercepting your mail and you are missing out on the contracts. You had a contract recently that should have paid well but if you look hard enough you will find that it paid bigger than you think. Steve freaked out and gave Spider a wicked look because it just dawned on him what she was actually fucking talking about or looking at as they say. “I see these two men talking behind some large storage shed and one of them is much older than the other one”. Spider asked her, “What are they talking about? “The Older man is telling this young guy to keep his mouth shut if he knows what is good for him! “Hey girl, can you describe this young one for me? Spider asks her. Pete and Steve were nursing open mouths when they hear the description she gives them. “Does that fit anyone you know Spider? She asks him. “Hell yes, man you are bloody good girl what do you do for an encore? Spider says giving her heaps of shit. “Encore huh, how is your front, I mean your other business or do you need eyes in the back of your head there too? Spider nearly fell off his stool and Steve looked at Pete in amazement with them silently mouthing that word. (FUCK) “Very funny girl, enough out of you for one day so how’s your business going? Spider says jokingly back to her. “Not bad actually, life is good and so is the family? She tells him. Spider opened up one of his folders on his computer and called over Pete and Steve. “So girl, you still single? Spider says to her. “That would be telling wouldn’t it? She laughs back at him. Spider clicks open a picture of her and shows the other two what One of those looks like. Pete is speechless and Steve’s tongue is hanging out of his mouth as Spider smirks at him. “Bit vague there girl, who’s the lucky Bro, do we know him? Spider quizzes her. “Now what makes you think that any man on this Earth would want a woman with the ability to keep an eye on the business for him and what his mates are up too behind his back? Steve pointed to himself with a nod after hearing that. “You know girl that wouldn’t be such a bad idea to have a woman with talents like yours, because that’s what I would call having the cutting edge when you need it the most! Spider tells her. “Doesn’t work like that, you know that Spider and anyway if a man was brave enough I doubt that he would have anything to hide! Pete smiles telling Steve that rules him out, he is married. “Spider I have to go man, hope that helps and hey I got this message for the one with something wrong with his tongue, do you know who that is mate? Steve froze as Spider and Pete look at him waiting to hear what she had to say. “Yes girl what you got on him ? “You know what happens when you stick your tongue in the freezer, it sticks to the ice and you can’t get it off. She asks Spider as he figures out what he thinks she is talking about as he glances over to Steve. “Well you tell him that it is bloody cold in the freezer room and if his wife finds out she is going to give him a Columbian neck tie and he will permanently be on ice. Does that make sense? Spider wasn’t sure what she was talking about but obviously Steve did as he is swigging back the bottle of JD’s he just started on. Pete was checking him out and shaking his head. “I will pass that onto him girl but not sure if he will listen, you know how it is, leopards don’t change their spots”, Spider chuckles to himself. “True Spider but he wants to keep that tongue back in his mouth and use it at home more often or his wife will find herself a new tongue”, she said laughing. Spider laughed and thanked her for the enlightening information. Spider looks at Steve who is still in shock with his hand gripping around that neck of the bottle like he has just seen a ghost. “Geez Bro you going to share that bottle or what? Pete says giving him shit. “Fuck Bro she freaks me out man, how did she know all that. Did she see me with my tongue hanging out or what? Steve asks Spider. “Columbian neck tie would suit you Bro! Pete laughed at him. “She’s good man she even said exactly how much money was missing, fuck I can’t get over that. Is that how you knew about that other matter a while ago? Pete says. Spider gave him that look as if to say, “what you think I believe in this shit to give me the cutting edge? |
