The sun was just about down before Lester pulled his Caddy up to the house that Gilhoulie had leased to set up his condom empire. Lester locked the car door, walked up to the rather seedy front porch and rang the bell.
He was thinking about Maureen and Jodie as he had left them. Jodie was still in her striped robe, and Maureen was dressed in that little skirt. Her legs were so smooth and Lester was starting to get hard thinking about her, when the door opened.
Les didn't see anybody, until he looked down and saw a short elfin girl who looked about fourteen, "Yes?" she asked in a small voice.
"Is this Gilhoulie Enterprises, I was invited to the barbeque." Lester said softly, so as not to frighten her any more than she looked like she was.
"Oh, yes, please, come in and I'll get Mr. Gilhoulie." She closed the door behind him and ran out.
Lester smiled at her little cute butt in those tightly tailored blue slacks, and the blue shirt she wore with pink intertwined 'GE' of the logo on her budding breast.
Gilhoulie, all six feet four of him wearing a loud Aloha shirt, came through the back and smiled, "Good to see you Murph, I thought you had expired or something." He extended his hand and they shook hands with just a bit of a contest.
"I was unavoidably detained." Les said apologetically and shrugged then smiled. "Sorry to show up so late. Where's the beer?" Les said.
Gilhoulie laughed and waved Lester into the back, "Out in the back yard. The party is just getting interesting."
Lester was impressed with the changes Gilhoulie had made on the back yard, there was a new three car garage in the back which compressed the yard into an almost square area with a concrete patio covering about half of that, he saw tables festively decorated and two large tubs along side them.
There were twenty or so young people, laughing and talking in clusters or dancing to the Beach Boy's, a string of Christmas lights around the top of the fence was making the yard more festive in the fading light. Lester wondered about the music but he suspected the tubs to be with filled with ice and drinks. Gilhoulie lead him to the tubs and searched through the ice to find him a beer.
"Ah, here," Gilhoulie said and handed Lester an ice cold Bohemian.
Les looked at the beer as the label slid off, "Oh good choice, Gilhoulie. I was afraid that you'd serve Bud."
"You missed out on the Dortmunder Pils. You were late and I only had four of 'em." Gilhoulie said.
Lest uncapped the bottle and took a deep swig. After the rum punch, the beer was heaven. Les looked around and said, "The place looks good, Gilhoulie. I see you got the garage up."
"Yeah once the foundation was cured it only took Brent's guys a day to have it assembled and wired." Gilhoulie said, "Let's us old folks find a chair," and led Murphy to the edge of the patio where there were a few chairs and a table empty.
"Brent Jamison?" Les asked,
"Yeah, has a company called Hammer Men, he sells the steel buildings and puts 'em up. It was a lot less costly than wood, and a hell of a lot faster to finish." Gilhoulie said.
"I met him this morning, seems like a nice guy." Les said and surveyed the yard. A short kid in Gilhoulie Blue was talking to two girls who were giggling at him and Lester saw the little girl who let him in, dancing with a little blond girl who was smiling at her. "Who's that little girl, Gilhoulie? She looks too young for a party like this one."
Gilhoulie glanced at where Lester was looking and said, "That is Ms. G.G. Trewilliger, and don't call her little, unless you want your shins abused. She says she's petite, so we humor her. I call her Ms G.G. and you should too."
Lester looked at Gilhoulie to see if he was serious. "Does she work for you?"
"Yeah she does the books, keeps the geeks on schedule and runs all the software." Gilhoulie smiled, "What ever you do, don't say she's cute. Attractive or slender, okay, but not cute."
"How old is she? She looks like she's fourteen."
Gilhoulie sipped his beer and looked at Murphy, smiling, "She's almost twenty, almost ninety-seven pounds and she wears boots." Gilhoulie laughed, "'Course they're are only size fours, but they have steel toes and hurt like the devil if she kicks you in the shins."
Lester smiled at Gilhoulie who had obviously taken a likening to Ms G.G. Trewilliger, all ninety-seven pounds of her. He scanned the rest of the kids and saw a couple of guys in Lettermen's jackets with the Futter University intertwined 'FU' on their chests. They were talking to a couple of girls and not having much luck because both the girls turned and left them. The guys moved on and one rummaged through the beer tub and came up with a couple of Bud's.
"How did you meet Brent?" Gilhoulie asked.
"I was looking at a house and he gave me an estimate on fixing it up." Lester said.
"You looking to buy a place here?"
Lester looked at Gilhoulie, "Why not, I've got a job here and I don't see any need to move. I like it here. I'm making some good friends and nobody is shooting at me here"
Gilhoulie laughed and said, "Yeah, not getting shot at is very attractive, ain't it?" He sat back, relaxed and took a sip of his beer. "I could get used to this, Murph." He grinned and surveyed his domain.
He had the geeks to lead, they kept him on his toes, the condom business to run, the surveillance links to monitor and a few minor paid errands to run, but with the software and the capabilities of the surveillance system G.G. had tapped, hell it practically ran itself. Not to mention the almost unlimited capital resources he was able to influence. All he needed was a way to consolidate his assets and eliminate his liabilities.
