REAL COOL CAT
By R. A. 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.
