Curtis B OP JACKSON adjusted the knot of his yellow and red hand- painted tie, reached for the black homburg and placed it carefully at the exactly correct angle. Cool, man. Real cool. Conserv ative, sure, but distinguished. None of this cheap cat stuff. That was for the sneaky pete punks. He was class now. He'd just done an important job for the man. And he was getting ready now to do ‘an even bigger one. He reached for the chain dan gling from the naked bulb over head and took a last look around the tiny room. He dropped his hand and knelt to make a last loving inspection of the wrappings on the plain cardboard bog in the. center of the room. Inside were two brand- new custom-tailored suits §nd six made ahirtg; over four hun dred bucks worth of new clothes and he’d bought them with the money from just one job for the man. He cast a contemptuous glance around the room. This was the last time he’d ever have a room fci a joint like this. As soon as this job was over, and the man paid off, he’d move into real cod quarters; maybe even one of those residential type hotels with real maid service. He pictured himself checking in. He’d be dignified and reserved. When he tipped he’d slip the gold into an envelope. None of this scatter ing fifties and hundreds around like a green punk either. He’d do it like the man did. You could tell just by looking at the man that he was a real smooth opera tor. Bop glanced through the open door. The two men in the dimly lit hall stood waiting for him. Let them wait. He was a big shot now. One of the men stepped into the room and looked at his watch. “Getting about time to go, Paul,’* he said Bop frowned. He didn’t like being called by his given name. “Bop,” had a more hep sound to it. The man had pinned that name on him. What had he said now? Something about music. They walked slowly down the three flights of stairs; Bop in the middle. He wasn’t feeling so good about this now. He tried desper ately to re-create the scene at the hotel he would check into afterwards, but it wouldn’t come. When they stepped onto the street the two men on either side of him paused and looked carefully up and down the street At the curb sat a nondescript sedan with a man behind the wheel. This man leaned out and said, “Nothing, lieu tenant Been quiet as a morgue.” The man on Bop’s right an swered, “Okay, sergeant we’d better get rolling.” They ushered him into the rear seat and the sedan swung from the curb to slide smoothly down the street The sergeant at the wheel turned once to look curious ly at Bop. “Boy,” he said, “for a killer, on his way to the can— and probably the hot squat—he sure is dressed for action.” “Yeah,” the lieutenant an swered, “he was just getting ready to go out when we got there, so we let him finish dress ing and pack his things for. stor age. He’s a real cool cat alright.” Bop asked and got permission to light up a cigarette. His hand hardly shook at all. He felt a little weak in the stomach, but heck, man, that was only natural after a sudden jolt like this. The man wouldn’t let him burn. He had plenty of connections. "What was it he’d said when he’d given him the handle of “Bop?” Yeah, he had it now. In front of all the others the man had slapped him on the shoulder and said: “From now on your name is ‘Bop’ because you know how to bop them off and you’ll learn how to face the music.” They’d all had a good laugh about it ... . “D’KicPs sure cautious tonight. Said he wants to look good when he picks up that new car which PurcelFs helped him buy.” Dem Purcell people are a knockout . to deal wit. See ’em when you want to finance yer next car. //j r c e "Your Private Bankers” 1418 Main St. Newberry Mrs. Claude Gallarneau and daughter of Washington, D.
