Jack, Sr. returned to Jerry’s Bar and saw Sally in the same spot. This time they didn’t stick around. Elmo drove them back to Jack’s house and they spent the day like a couple of high school kids kissing and holding hands and watching a movie on his DVD player. She memorized the directions to the house so they could go to the bar meet and then leave and meet up here so that any prying eyes would not see them leaving together. At the appointed time, Elmo returned her to the bar and she headed off.
Elmo called Jack, Jr. during Sally’s visit. “He took Sally to his house.” After he hung up, Jack, Jr. looked at the burley man in front of him. We need you to check up on a Sally Beaudine. She’s apparently caught my dad’s eye. The usual dossier please. “No problem, Jack” said the P.I. “Five Hundred bucks?”, he asked. “No problem”, said Jack, Jr. As the three hundred pound man left the room, Jack looked down at the locked file drawer in his desk where dozens of such files were kept. He knew the flaws of each and every woman Jack, Sr. had been involved with and he knew what was needed to get rid of them if need be. Luckily, his dad tired of them quickly. But this one was more worrisome.

“Here’s the file on Sally”, Marco said to Jack, Jr. “Here’s your Benjamins”, Junior responded as he eagerly tore open the large manilla envelope to see what mysteries there were about Sally. “Hmm, married, two kids, um hmm, hot headed husband, good, very good, police record for assault, owns guns, thanks Marco”, Jack said, I thought this one might be one that might be trouble for dad.
As he looked further in the file he saw the grainy photos of his dad and Sally doing things at his house that weren’t meant for family viewing. As Marco left the room, Junior locked the dossier in the file drawer. Things are looking up.
Later that day, Jack, Jr. and Jack, Sr. met at Lawyer Dobbins office to go over the drafts of the various estate planning documents. “Mr. Dobbins, I’ve been giving this a lot of thought, I need to think about this plan some more, I’ve met someone.” Dobbins looked at Jack, Sr. with an inquisitive look? “Well, all these documents are revocable and amendable”, he responded. “I know, but I just need a little time to think it through” Jack, Sr. said shaking his head. Jack, Jr.’s face twisted with the look you get when you suck a lemon at the news. He’d have to move up his plan sooner rather than later.
Bo Beaudine saw his wife leave the bar shortly after arriving. A man left shortly thereafter in another car. He knew that face from somewhere, he’d figure it out soon enough. In the meantime, he’d have reason to beat his wife around a little bit for going drinking in bars.
