Strange Phone Call

mkegvn

So I just got a strange phone call there. A man calling himself Brian Clarke rings me from a blocked number, says he found a blue envelope with my name, phone number and a previous address of mine on the side of the road. Unsure of what to do, I gave him a forwarding address.

Sound weird no? Any experience with anything like this?

Kiera

Why didnt you meet him somewhere? Now he knows where you live if he is a weirdo. Nice knowing you, M.

El Weirdo

Brian? Oh he's sound, nothing to worry about.

Legit as fuck, that guy.

coffee_cake

you gave a stranger your address? so he could forward a copy of your old address that he found??

what a scam

L.Jenkins

He's sending you money. Send me your bank details and I'll prove its authenticity.

kfallon

Yeah Brian Clarke rings me all the time, lovely fella, sound ould trout and salt of the earth!

Hasmunch

So looks like you are about to be murdered, what music would you like played at your funeral?

(Like seriously, who puts a phone number on envelope they are sending)

Why would your phone number be on the outside of an envelope?

mkegvn

Relax lads, I said I gave him a forwarding address, I didn't say it was mine.

Yea the number on the envelope is where alarm bells rang. I was thinking maybe the bank are coming after me or something

He probably has some of your info and now just stealing the rest of it. He's just borrowing your I.D. for a while, dont worry bout it.

You think he's a bailiff?

Poor Uncle Tom

If it's a blue envelope you're fine, it's the green ones you should watch out for...

A call from the bank this late, doubtful.

Brian Clarke aka Fingers Clarke aka The Butcher. Wouldn't worry too much, the last of the Blue Envelope victims was fine..... what was left of him.

aaronjumper

I go through all the trouble of stalking you and
putting all your information into one file and this
guy just sweeps in and steals my victim!

Back to the drawing board.

mkegvn

Haha! Yer a gas bunch.

Brian Clarke was a dick, a private dick. He'd grifted some rubes in his time but this mkegvn character was a classic A1 patsy. He'd fallen for the oldest con in the book, the old blue envelope switcharoo.

Now, armed with this putz's address he was ready to make the deal with Big Guns McGettigan. He didn't like dealing with Big Guns, the guy was a rat through and through. But sometimes a flatfoot had to do what a flatfoot had to do and this gumshoe knew which side his bread was buttered on. Especially when there was a dame involved.

And what a dame! Eyes that cut like diamonds and legs that went all the way to the floor. Sheila knew everything about everyone and was no good for nuthin' but she was all woman and Brian Clarke knew he couldn't leave her high and dry like a string of salami when the tide when out. McGettigan didn't want to hurt her - he just wanted Clarke to play hardball. And Clarke was going to show him he could play the hardest balls in the business.

Which is how he wound up standing on the street outside this schmuck mkegvn's place. A blue envelope in one hand, loaded piece in the other, Clarke approached the door and grimaced. McGettigan was going to get his pound of flesh one way or the other and Clarke was going to pound some flesh himself when he got Sheila back to the rundown old beat up place above the liqour store that he called home.

This was going to be some night....... in the distance a saxophone played long and hard. Clarke cocked his piece and rang the bell.

Yes I have experience with phone calls. Sounds like you figured it out OP. Congrats.

Why would someone put your phone number on an envelope?

Clarke the knife up to his old tricks again. Will he never learn, even after several ohms of treatment temptation rears its ugly head again :eek:

corktina

dollyk
