You Can have Her
by Dawn Pisturino
The call came in on his office landline.
"Tony Blackwell? We want two million dollars in small bills, or your wife eats a bullet."
Tony laughed. "She's a whore. I don't give a damn about her. Do you know how many times she's cheated on me?"
"Hey, man, I'm sorry, but she's still your wife. You must have some feelings for her."
"Not at all," Tony scoffed, and hung up the phone.
A few minutes later, the phone rang again.
"Mr. Blackwell, I repeat: we want two million dollars in small bills, or your wife dies. And don't even think about calling the police."
"Why would I call the police? I told you, I don't care about the bitch."
The voice on the other end became more insistent. "We're not playing around, Tony. You either agree to fork over the money,
or your wife dies. I don't care how many men she's screwed."
I would be humbled and pleased if you would visit Masticadores India to read the rest. If you like it, please hit the "Like" button.
Thank you so much!
