In an ancient chronicle I found something about ten days on the cross ...
Not really convincing, but who cares ?
Agreed, but still fun to think about!
Great pic! Now I'm hungry again though...
Eulalia wondered what THT had in mind for her…
“Ladies, I’m here on a simply bounty job. Seem like Ms. E got caught by the IMF and even tagged. She must have used her charms because she got away” I explained. I leaned forward and slid my cup out for a refill. I signaled her to stop while there was still room for some whiskey from my flask. “I’m not positive but this coffee tastes like it was fresh ground by some little black haired vixen chained to a wheel. So here’s my deal. I’m going to leave these manacles here on the table and go out and have a cigar. Before I’m done I expect to see Eulalia come out that door with these binding her wrists behind her back. If I finish the cigar and she’s not outside I’m going to come back in and get the cuffs and leave you establishment.”
“What’s the catch, Tree?” Melissa asked.
As I stood up I looked out across the street. “See that black van over there? That’s Bob’s Bail and Bounty. He’s got another ‘round back and on covering the ‘secret tunnel’. Yeah, we know about it. Anyway, I leave and it’s his turn. And he and his thugs will arrest all of you for harboring a fugitive along with Eulalia. And they WILL take all kinds of liberties with you before they turn you over.”
“So I’m going to enjoy my coffee and cigar outside. You talk it over with Eul and make up your minds. You have about ten minutes.”
I went outside and leaned against a utility pole. Bob sat in his van glaring at me, pissed I beat him here by just minutes. I heard the door on the far side of the van side open. The van rocked as each of six huge thugs stepped out. They walked around the van and leaned against it. Three held nightsticks, two had shotguns that need special permits to have, and the sixth had enough chains and cuffs to take all the women into custody. There’s at least that many in back of the shop.
So I leaned there sipping my coffee and smoking my cheap cigar. If I was part of that team I’d be the runt of the litter. The only thing holding them back was professional courtesy. I sure hope for the ladies’ sake they make the right choice.
As for me, I hope Eulalia comes out alone. It’s not just the bounty money. I don’t have any illustrations done for this story if there’s a mass arrest….

Lady Eul, you can't just 'LIKE' this. You have to surrender yourself or the coffeshp gets busted... BAD!!!
that's up to Her Ladyship Melissa,
only She can unchain me from the coffee-mill
and hand me over to you, Sir

Slow service is not tolerated in this establishment. Tardy waitresses will be executed.

quite right too ,
,but....
too right - there's some ugly looking characters hanging about outside 
-
-please Mistress Melissa, hand me over to THT 
,
,sacrifice your grinder girl to save the Coffee Shop 
!
!
Eulalia makes a smart request of Mistress Melissa. If she's not turned over I have a whole bunch of art I can't use....

Far more effective than having the customers not tip them along with the entertainment it provides the customers!
I agree! Hand her over!

Very well, she is handed over. Is this what you had in mind for her?
and in a fort in the northern woodsand that's just part 1!
and in a fort in the northern woods
that Redfeline trailer you've posted on Julie's Late-Night Cinema looks like another glimpse of IMF at work
perhaps we could have a showing in he Coffee Shop -
so customers know where their grindslave's gone?
Melissa says "Very well, she is handed over. Is this what you had in mind for her?"
My, you think badly of me. Or maybe you think that's what Eul deserves....
More later today. And much wisdom as you will see...

So the story really begins. Let me know if I should leave it in the coffee shop or continue on a dedicated thread....
It was a nice day for late November. I usually don’t do bounty jobs but this one was paying a substantial amount if completed before a strict deadline. I was luck to have logged into the bounty website when I did or Bob’s Bail and Bounty would have gotten here first. Whether they liked it or not they knew I was giving them, even Eulalia, the best bargain they were going get.
My cigar was almost and my coffee was when Julie came out of the coffee shop carrying a hot ‘go’ cup. She was wearing a short silk robe and wedge sandals and I doubt much else. I thanked her and reached into my pocket for my flask. She said softly “Unless you have a cast iron gut I think there’s enough in there.”
I took a sip and felt the warmth of the coffee and the burn of the whiskey. Yeah, that’s just about right. Julie looked across the street at Bob’s van and the six thugs leaning against it. She whispered “I think Melissa is going to give her up. It will be only a few more minutes.”
I took a drag on the cigar and looked at the stub glowing in my hand. Without looking at Julie I said “That’s about all the time you have. Professional courtesy says they wait thirty minutes after they get here. After that they’ll inform me I didn’t come with adequate resources to take the mark. Get in there and try to speed things up. Oh… and thanks for the coffee. Its like I mixed it myself.”
I leaned against the pole hoping things would go right. Sure I had a Glock 9 in my belt but even if I weren’t outgunned I wouldn’t stop them after the 30 minutes were up. I took another sip as the last few minutes slipped by. I stared at Bob’s van. He was smiling as he opened the door. As he stepped out he laughed “Well, Tree, you’re the last guy I thought could be bribed by a bit of tush.”
Behind me I heard a door open. Eulalia called out “I am the fugitive Eulalia. I am bound with handcuffs marked ‘THT’ and am surrendering to that officer of the court.”
I adjusted my hat and smiled back at Bob. “I appreciate your professional courtesy…”
