Author's note: I got the idea for this story one day when the Jim Croce song

"Bad, Bad Leroy Brown" came on the radio. I thought it would be interesting

to see what Leroy's life was like and I wrote this. The story is set in the early

1970's and the characters use language that could be considered offensive by

several different racial and ethnic groups. My intention is not to offend anyone,

but to try to portray the characters as accurately as possible.

Meaner than a Junkyard dog
by John A

The opening of the door cast the bright afternoon light into

the darkened corners of the dimly lit saloon, temporarily

blinding those unfortunate enough to be looking in that

direction. The harsh light, however, was mitigated somewhat

by the six foot four inch frame of the man entering. Wearing

a blue velvet jacket and matching pants, the man seemed much

larger than his actual height, due in part to the two inch

heels of his alligator skin boots and his five-inch Afro and

in part to the presence with which he carried himself.

Almost unnoticed, dwarfed by the large man's form and

trailing just behind, was a pretty, petite, cocoa skinned

woman wearing bell bottoms and a halter top.

"Yo, Leroy. Where the fuck you been keeping yourself at?"

called the bartender, smiling warmly at his friend.

"Eddie, my brother," Leroy flashed a grin at the bartender.

"You know me. I'm a busy man. I gotta go where the games is.

Plus, I got me a boy out at Sportsman's been giving me some

good tips."

"Well, you better get your ass 'round here more, nigger. Or

are you too good fo' us now? The next thing we know, you

gonna be movin' with all them honkeys on Lake Shore Drive."

The large bartender laughed robustly as the two men clasped

hands.

"Fuck you, man." Leroy joined his friend in laughter.

"Say, Monique. You lookin' real fine. What you still doin'

with this chump?" Asked Eddie.

"I must be stupid," sighed Leroy's longtime girlfriend.

"Sometimes, I wonder myself."

"Well, when you get tired of him, you come see a real man."

The older man's huge belly rippled as he laughed. "What you

want to drink, sweetness?"

Monique laughed at his playful flirtation. "I'll have a

seven and seven, Eddie."

Eddie mixed the drink for Monique and handed Leroy a bottle

of his usual, a Colt 45.

"Say baby," Leroy looked at Monique, "why don't you go over

to a table and wait for me. I got some things to talk about

with my man, here."

"Don't you keep me waitin' long, Leroy Brown." Monique

dropped a dime in the jukebox and selected a song by the

Supremes before walking sexily to a booth in the corner of

the dingy, smoke filled tavern.

"Leroy, when you gonna make that girl an honest woman?"

Eddie wondered.

"Eddie, you know me. I got too much lovin' to go around." As

Leroy grabbed the bottle of beer, the two large diamond

rings on his right hand sparkled, even in the dim light of

the bar.

"Leroy, I don't know why, but that girl loves you, and she's

one foxy mama. You keep fucking all of them whores," Eddie

said 'whores' as if it rhymed with 'sewers,' "and you gonna

lose her. That's the biggest mistake you'll make. You listen

to me, now. That's a good girl you got there."

"I know Eddie, you right." Leroy tried to placate his

friend.

"Ok, shut me up. But don't come bitching to me when she gets

tired of your shit."

"Say Eddie, what's up with the game?" Leroy changed the

subject as the strains of 'Baby Love' played over the

jukebox speaker.

"Well, I was talking to Jimmy Jablonski..."

Leroy cut Eddie off, "Jablonski, that fat fuckin' Polack.

What the fuck is he doin' settin' up the crap game? I don't

trust that mother fucker."

"What the fuck you gonna do? He's bringin' in some real

money. He got a couple of guys from the north side with deep

pockets, a couple of rollers from Dee-troit and Cleveland,

and a few guys from back east with some big-time dago

backing, if you know what I mean. There's even a rumor that

the old Jew from Miami might show up; you know the kind of

scratch he has. There's gonna be a lot of green here next

Friday, Leroy." Eddie hesitated and shook his head at his

friend. "That's real money and Jimmy's bringin' it in.

Unless you just want to play with a bunch of jerkoffs from

Calumet City who might not even be able to scrape up a

Benjamin? Forget about the Polack. Don't be stupid, Leroy.

This is a night that can make a year."

If it had been anybody else but Eddie Jackson who spoke to

him like that, Leroy would have pulled his 'Saturday Night

Special' from his pocket and had it pointed down the man's

throat. But Eddie was like a father to Leroy. After his

mother died when he was 14, Leroy was taken in by Jackson

and his wife and treated like a son. And Leroy never forgot

what Eddie did for him. When Eddie needed some money a

couple of years ago to keep from going out of business,

Leroy stepped forward and paid off all of Eddie's debts in

full and wouldn't hear a word about being repaid. Leroy was

a tough man, but he was fiercely loyal above all, and he

never forgot what Eddie and his wife, Shirley, had done for

him.

But with the rest of the world, Leroy Brown had a ferocious

temper, and was more feared by everyone on the south side

than anyone else -- for good reason, too. Even some of the

cops were afraid of him. Ever since he was a teenager, Leroy

worked the streets; running numbers, making 'deliveries,'

running protection rackets, pimping, and enforcing gambling

debts among other things. Before too long the streets of the

south side of Chicago belonged to him, and Leroy began

moving up in the seamy underbelly of what passed off as

south side society -- although the cops tended to define

that type of 'society' as 'vice, narcotics, and

racketeering.'

Above all of his other talents, Leroy was a skilled gambler,

and now that was the way he made the bulk of his money. Crap

games, horses, running numbers games, cock fights -- Leroy

had a hand in all of them. He either ran the game and

collected the vig, or was a player and was better than most

around him. He had his 'boys' at Arlington and Sportsman's

Park clocking the horses' morning workouts and hanging

around the stables, finding out information the general

betting public didn't know. Leroy also made it a point of

being very generous with the stableboys and practice riders,

who made very little money and were more than eager to feed

Leroy some bit of info that perhaps not even the trainers

knew. But Leroy's big game, his big score, was Craps. Dice

was where Leroy made his big money. There were more illegal

Crap games floating around the south side than all the legal

ones in Vegas combined, and Leroy had a hand in most of

them.

Next Friday's game would be one of the biggest games of the

year, with high-rollers coming in from all over, playing in

the back of Eddie's Tavern -- Eddie's private room was

designed for that very activity, hosting a regular game

every Saturday night. Friday's night's game would probably

have a minimum of $1000 hinging in each roll of the dice.

And Eddie was right, there was going to be some huge money

there next Friday. If Leroy wanted to have the chance to

make a serious score, he needed to be there, Jablonski or no

Jablonski.

"All right, Eddie. Fat Jimmy's bringin' in some players. I

still don't trust the prick."

"Me neither, but he's not gonna fuck with *you*, Leroy."

Eddie said with finality.

Leroy took leave of his friend and joined Monique at her

table. Monique DuBois grew up in the same apartment building

as Eddie and Shirley Jackson and had known Leroy since they

were both teenagers. The daughter of the local Baptist

church's deacon, Monique was raised in a very strict home

and wasn't allowed to date until she had been 17-years-old.

But that hadn't stopped her from being good friends with

Leroy, though. And shortly after turning seventeen, against

her parents' better judgment, Monique began dating Leroy.

Whether it was how dangerous it made her feel, the thrill of

being with the 'baddest man in town', as Leroy was known, or

being with someone whom she knew was truly a sweet and

caring man to those he was close to, Monique couldn't

explain it. What she did know now was that after being with

him for almost ten years, off and on, she truly loved Leroy,

and knew that in his own way, he loved her too.

"You all ready for your 'big game,' sugar?" Monique asked.

"Baby, Leroy's gonna be making a big score next Friday."

Brown smiled broadly as he gulped down the remainder of his

malt liquor. "You gonna come and watch?"

Monique snickered. "Wait in the bar from ten at night until

God-knows-when in the morning, getting hit on by every man
who comes in here? No thank you." She smiled broadly, her

chocolate eyes sparkling at her boyfriend. "But you can take

me someplace real nice Saturday night with all your

winnings."

"You're on, baby. We'll have a big night at the Four

Seasons. A fancy dinner, then we'll spend the night in one

of those penthouse suites. We'll show those uptown mother
fuckers that Leroy Brown is a man with class and style."

"That sounds great, sugar. I can't wait." Monique cooed.

Leroy smiled and gulped down the remainder of his drink.

"You all set, baby?"

"Yeah, I'm done. Where are we going?" Monique asked.

"I thought we could go back to my place for a while." Leroy

grinned lasciviously.

"Leroy, what kind of a girl you think I am?" Monique said

shrilly. "Why don't we go someplace nice tonight and then

we'll see what happens."

"I'd love to 'nique," Leroy hung his head a bit, "but I got

some business to take care of tonight."

Monique raised her voice. "Yeah, I know what kind of

business you got to take care of. I don't..."

Leroy cut her off, "No baby, it's not like that. I really

have to see some people tonight."

"I don't know why I stay with you Leroy."

"You love me, baby. You love me." He said glibly.

Leroy and Monique said goodbye to Eddie and left the bar.

They walked around the corner and got into Leroy's Eldorado

convertible and drove the four blocks to Leroy's apartment.

Leroy's apartment was the typical single male's apartment.

Spartanly furnished, its main focal point was the enormous
stereo and television in the living room, and the large

collection of albums near the Hi-Fi. Monique began flipping

through the albums, looking for something to play as Leroy

was fixing a couple of drinks for them. She put a Sly and

the family Stone album on the turntable as Leroy sidled up

behind her. He began nuzzling her neck and squeezed his body

against hers, pressing his hardening penis against his

girlfriend's ass.

"I told you to put your gun away before you walk up to me."

Monique joked.

"This ain't my gun, baby. It's 100 percent Leroy." Brown

brought his right hand to Monique's braless tits and began

fondling them through her top.

"Mmmm." Monique turned around and kissed Leroy deeply as she

started to stroke his ever-hardening cock through his pants.

Leroy removed his hands from her breasts and unbuttoned and

unzipped her jeans, letting them slide to the floor. He sank

his hand in the front of her panties, finding her treasure

already wet.

"Damn, baby, you already hot." Leroy remarked as they groped

each other on the way to the bedroom.

"That's the way you get me, sugar." Monique had removed her

halter and slid her panties down as she plopped on the

middle of Leroy's king size water bed.

Leroy stood by the bed, removing his velvet suit, admiring

the beautiful form of his sexy girlfriend. He sat on the bed

and removed his boots, placing the six inch switchblade

which he always kept in his right boot on the nightstand.

He stood and removed his boxers, freeing his large, thick
cock from its cloth sheath.

"Oooh, baby. You get down here and give me some good

lovin'." Monique purred.

Leroy climbed on the bed and took one of Monique's ample

breasts in his mouth, gnawing on the nipple. She writhed on

the bed as he sucked on her tit and began to finger her

pussy. Not one for tenderness, Leroy probed inside her sex

roughly, making sure she was wet enough to handle his

enormous tool.

After just a few minutes of foreplay, Leroy was atop her,

beginning his opening thrust.

"Unggh." Monique gasped, in both ecstasy and discomfort as

the forceful intrusion caught her by surprise.

Leroy pressed himself fully inside his girlfriend,

stretching her out to such a degree that would have seemed

impossible because she was a rather small framed girl. His

technique wasn't spectacular; he was the type to thrust in

fully and withdraw and then repeat the process again and

again, forcefully. What was spectacular was Leroy's stamina.

It always amazed Monique that she was able to come so often

through Leroy's simple pounding. Perhaps it was the

ferociousness of his thrusts, or perhaps it was his sheer

size -- Monique didn't understand it, she only knew that it

felt great.

After about twenty minutes, Monique could feel her self

begin to tingle. Indeed, her breathing got ragged and her

cunt muscles started to clamp down in orgasm on Leroy's

prick.

Leroy slowed his pace a little, leaning over to kiss Monique

tenderly. Lightly extending his tongue over her lips, he

waited until her breathing became more settled before he

increased the intensity of his thrusts once again.

Monique's second orgasm was much more forthcoming than the

first, and she was screaming in joy as the waves of pleasure

washed over her.

"That's the way to take my cock, bitch." Leroy grunted,

almost incoherently. "Leroy's going to fuck your cunt dry,

baby."

"Give me your cock, mother fucker. Fuck my pussy hard, fuck

me, Leroy. Ohhh. Fuck. OHHH!" Monique squealed in orgasm.

Four more times, spanning another hour, Monique achieved

orgasm, each one, seemingly, more powerful than the

previous. For the last of Monique's orgasms, as she was

yelling out with pleasure and scratching deep welts in his

back, Leroy could feel his own boiling sensation deep within

himself. As Monique's vaginal walls were spasming around his

cock, Leroy blasted off in his own intense pleasure,

overflowing her sex with his own fluid, before collapsing

next to her on the bed.

After about ten minutes of silence, Leroy spoke, "Damn

woman, you're going to kill me."

"I'm going to kill you?" Monique, still breathing heavily,

raised her eyebrows. "I'm not the one with the nine-inch

weapon between my legs. I thought I was going to pass out

that last time I came."

He chuckled. "Well, you sure do make me feel good, baby."

"You make me feel good too but you know what would make me

feel really good?" Monique said hopefully.

"Woman, are we going to have this talk again?" Leroy said

with more than a little exasperation in his voice.

"Don't give me that 'woman' crap, Leroy." Monique's voice

was raised. "You know what I'd like you to do."

"A real man don't need to do that shit. The only reason guys
suck on their woman's twat is 'cause they can't please her

the regular way. What do you think I am, one of those white

pussies from Lincoln Park who don't know how to make his

woman feel good with his dick?"

"That's not my point, Leroy." Monique sighed, knowing that

she wasn't getting anywhere with this discussion once again.

"Listen to me, baby. When we in bed, do I make you feel

good?"

"You know you do." Monique agreed emphatically.

"So, what else do you want? Leroy Brown don't do that, you

know that baby."

Monique started with a fury in her voice. "Well, one of

these days, you're not going to have me around if you don't

start treating me better. One of these days you gonna

realize what you're giving up. You go around fucking all

your hoes, but they just want you for your money. You know

I'll always be there for you. You're just too stupid to see

it for yourself."

Monique jumped up from bed and stormed to the bathroom as

Leroy closed his eyes and sighed. He was firmly convinced

that 'real men' didn't need to perform oral sex on their

women to satisfy them but he also knew that she was right

about one thing -- he needed to be a man and take their

relationship more seriously. He also was honest enough with

himself to know that perhaps he was a little too afraid to

settle down, feeling the need to keep up his 'reputation.'

He knew that he loved Monique, but while there weren't many

things that frightened him, marriage was certainly chief

among them. He admitted to himself that he wanted to spend

the rest of his life with her, he just didn't know if he was

ready to begin the rest of his life quite so soon. 'I'm a

young man,' he thought, 'it'll be a while before I get that

wake up call. But someday it'll happen. Eddie's right. That

sure is one fine woman I got.' Leroy tried to dwell on it a

bit more but his thoughts were getting ragged, his eyes got

heavy and he just rolled over and fell asleep.

---------

Over the next week and a half, Leroy spent his time going to

the track, overseeing his various 'business' ventures, and

collecting various debts owed to him to raise as much money

as he could for the big crap game. In fact, the 'business

meeting' Leroy had to leave Monique to attend actually

entailed going down to Archer Avenue to collect money from a

couple of the prostitutes for whom he pimped. He would just

as soon have not continued pimping, but the four girls he

protected had been with Leroy for three years and had always

been good to him. So, out of loyalty to them, he continued.

By the time Friday night came, Leroy had accumulated over

$27,000 cash in preparation for the game. That was about

half of what Leroy called his 'working' capital. It was more

than enough money to stake the game, but not so much that

he'd endanger his ability to adequately stake himself in

future games, such as the big one in Milwaukee in about a

month.



He walked into Eddie's saloon shortly after nine, and wound

his way through the busy Friday night crowd, greeting his

old friend at the bar.

"Eddie, my man. What's up?" asked Leroy.

"Leroy!" Eddie smiled broadly at the appearance of the man
whom he considered his son. "Fat Jimmy just got here a

little while ago; he's setting things up in the back. The

game's going to start at ten. See those guys over there?"

Eddie tilted his head toward the end of the bar. "Those are

two of the dagos from back east. One's from New York and the

other's from Philly."

"You keep 'em filled with drinks, I'll cover it later."

Leroy chuckled. "Anyone else here?"

"A couple of other guys are here. Don't worry, I've been

liquoring them up. The old Jew, Heillman, from Miami is here

but he don't drink nothing stronger than Ginger Ale."

"That's ok. The booze ain't going to change the way any of

these guys play, anyway. I'll catch you later, I'm going

back and seeing what that fat Polack bastard is up to."

Leroy walked past the bouncer into the private back room.

"Leroy, how's it going?" The obese Pole forced a smile as he

was arranging things around the large crap table. Leroy

noticed that Jablonski was sweating profusely, despite the

cool temperatures of the room.

"Not bad," Brown responded coldly. "Everything all set?"

"Pretty much. Most of the guys are here already. We're just

waiting for a couple more. We should have about fifteen

guys."

"Good. I'll be out at the bar."

The back room was for players only, and it was just shortly

after ten that Fat Jimmy was passing around the dice for

their inspections. Each of the men, in turn, took out their

various dice testing devices to make sure that they weren't

playing with unevenly weighted, or loaded, dice.

Leroy looked around the table, examining his competition. In

addition to Fat Jimmy Jablonski, there were the two well

dressed men from back east with the mob backing, Paulie

Benedetto from Brooklyn, and Anthony 'Tony Balls' Bellotti

from Philadelphia. Next to them were three semi-regulars to

the Chicago games. Leroy thought that they were all from the

north side, although they could be from the suburbs, too.

Though they weren't dressed particularly well, Leroy knew

from past experience that they had a lot of money to bet and

they didn't particularly care whether or not they won, they

were just there for the action. Leroy guessed that they

probably spent much of the evening prior to the game getting

coked up; their judgement would certainly be impaired, at

best. Those are the best players to have at a game, Leroy

thought.

Next to them were several people Leroy didn't recognize, but

by the look of their finely tailored suits, they looked to

have money to burn. Leo Heillman, from Miami, was next to

them. He was the player to be most feared in the game. He

had the deepest pockets of any of the players, and the most

experience. It was rumored that Heillman had been shooting

craps since he was a kid on the lower east side of

Manhattan. Between running games for the mob and playing in

a fair amount himself he was able to afford a major interest

in one of the fancy Havana casinos before Castro came to

power and closed them all down. Despite that setback, he

still had a hand in most of the illegal games in south

Florida that fled north after Batista's fall and was

probably worth more than everyone else at the table,

combined.

Next to Heillman was an enormous, severe looking man, who

perhaps rivaled Leroy in size and never cracked a smile. He

was an unknown to the game, in fact all they knew of him was

that his name was Luther, he was from Detroit, and had some

previous business dealings with Fat Jimmy. An unknown

player, thought Leroy, was dangerous.

The remaining players were familiar to Leroy, and posed no

threat at all. They were generally under funded for a game

of this size and that, more than luck or play style, is

often the death knell for a craps shooter. A large enough

bankroll is absolutely necessary to ride the losses when the

dice are running cold so there will be enough in reserve

when the dice start to heat up. And despite whatever the

study of statistics says, dice, much like women, run hot and

cold from one moment to the next. The key is knowing how to

handle them when they're cold so you'll still be around when

they warm up again. At a thousand dollars a roll, minimum,

unless these guys got hot in a hurry, they were going to be

out fast.

After the dice had been thoroughly inspected to everyone's

satisfaction, the game began. Out of respect, it was agreed

that Leo Heillman would come out first. Setting the tone for

the night, he laid $1500 down on the line and waited as the

others dropped their cash on the table and covered his bet.

After the last of the $1500 was matched, Leo sent the dice

bobbing over the baize surface of the table, making them

rattle off the far rubber wall. Six showed up on the dice

and became the point.

"I've got five small to make the point." Leo said, now

offering to place an additional $500 down on whether he

could make a six before a seven came up.

"I'll lay the full five, at even money." Leroy covered the

bet, knowing full well that the shooter had five chances out

of eleven to make six before a seven was rolled and should

be getting 6-5 odds, instead of the even money he was

offering.

"On." agreed Leo as he prepared to roll the dice again.

Private craps, as they were playing tonight, was a much

different game than Casino, or Bank, craps as was played in

the hotels of Nevada. In Casino craps, each player plays

against the house, which accepts all bets. The odds the

players receive give a slight advantage to the Casino, and

this 'vig' is what allows the casinos to make money. Over

time, the one to two percentage point advantage that they

have translates into tremendous profits for the casinos.

In private craps, there was no 'house'. The other players

covered the bets of the shooter, and each time he

sevened-out, the roll would be passed to the player to his

left. Although the Vegas Strip hotels would comp -- that is

offer free -- high rollers like these flights to and from

Vegas, rooms, meals, and even female companionship, most of

the big players preferred the huge private games such as

this one tonight. The stakes were generally higher, but more

importantly, these games were under the table and the IRS

would not find out how much money was bet -- and won.

Heillman shook the two dice in his hand, needing to roll a

six, his 'point', before he rolled a seven. He threw the

dice several more times, none of which got his needed six,

or the desired result of the players covering his bets, a

seven. With each successive roll the table became more

animated, the players shouting out their encouragement for

one result or another.

"Seven!" The shouts arose from around the table. Heillman's

money was divided up among the players who covered it, and

the $500 'odds' bet was pushed toward Leroy.

Luther was the next shooter, and he laid $1000 on the table,

which was covered by the players. He established a point of

nine and dropped another $1000 on the table. Leroy

immediately yelled, "Covered for $1200."

"Fuck you man," was Luther's curt reply. "Those odds suck."

"$1300." Leroy simply replied.

"On."

Leroy once again was getting the best of the percentages

with the shooter. By offering $1300 to cover a $1000 bet,

his percentage advantage was enormous. Since there are four

ways in which a nine can be rolled, compared to the six ways

which total a seven, true odds should be 3 to 2. For the

odds on Luther's bet to be true, Leroy should have covered

with $1500; by only covering with $1300, Leroy was giving

himself a huge advantage.

Luther rolled several numbers, none of which were nine or

seven. Some of the other players were throwing down money on

the side numbers. That is they were betting that other point

numbers, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 10 -- it generally is considered

bad form to place side money on the shooter's point -- would

be rolled before the shooter rolled a seven. Most players

don't like to take these bets, and in many games go

uncovered. But these were the bets that Leroy thrived on.

Offering such unfavorable odds that would often result in a

30 or 40 percent advantage, Leroy used these side bets to

clean up.

All the side bets were laid and covered, most by Leroy, and

although he had to pay off on two sixes and a ten, when

Luther sevened out, Leroy had netted himself $5600 and was

well on his way to a big night.

Several other shooters began rolling, none with too much

success. The dice were very cold, which was frustrating to

most players, but a boon to Leroy. Covering many of the

bets, Leroy had found himself up over $12000 without the

dice having made a full circle of the table. Then the dice

were placed in front for Leroy.

Leroy always passed on the roll. In most games, that's the

type of thing that will create enemies real quick. But Leroy

had always told the story of a small game he was playing in

when he was a teenager and was shooting when he learned the

tragic news that his parents had been killed in an auto

accident. Ever since then, he would relate, he could never

bring himself to shoot the dice himself.

It was, of course, all a lie. Leroy had never actually known

his father; Thomas Brown was the innocent victim of a

crossfire on the El when Leroy was just a baby. And Leroy

had been at his mother's bedside when she died from cancer

thirteen years ago. Still, it was a nice excuse not to roll

the dice and take the worst of the odds. Leroy didn't become

who he was by being a fool. 'Let all of those others shoot

the dice,' he thought. 'I'll take the odds and over time all

their money too.'

Over the next two and a half hours the dice were in various

stages of warmth, as the players would say. A couple of

shooters got hot on their rolls -- namely Heillman and Tony

Balls -- but for most of them, the dice were pretty cold. By

12:30, the three north side 'coke heads' as Leroy had

categorized them had lost a combined $65000 and were out of

the game. Also gone were four of the underfunded players,

and $36000 with them. Paulie from Brooklyn and the $40000 of

mob money he brought with him had also departed. Most of the

remaining players were either down or up no more than a

couple of thousand. Heillman, whom it was later learned had

staked himself with $75000, was up about $28000; Tony Balls,

through a couple of hot rolls of his own and some judicious

coverage of bets, had added $37000 to the $25000 he showed

up with. Leroy, however, was the big winner on the evening

thus far having added over $70000 to the $27000 he staked

himself to.

"I got to go take a piss and get something to drink. I'll be

back in about a half hour." Leroy picked up his money off

the table and headed back into the main bar.

Fridays at Eddie's was always hopping and tonight was no

exception. Eddie had two other bartenders and two waitresses

working to keep up with the crowd, but when he saw Leroy

emerge from the men's room, he called over his old friend.

"Don't tell me you out already man?" Eddie furrowed his brow

in concern.

Leroy laughed heartily. "I'm just taking a break, give me a

.45, Eddie, while I hit the can."

"So, are you gonna tell me how the fuck you doin', or do I

get to play 20 questions?" Eddie asked as Leroy returned

from the bathroom.

"I haven't counted it yet. But I guess I'm up pretty close

to 60, 70 large."

"No shit?"

"No shit, man. I'm fuckin' on fire. Those dice are so

fucking cold. But I think the game might not last too late,

players are dropping like flies. We won't have enough for a

good game before too long." Leroy took a long swig from his

drink, and as he tilted his head back, he noticed a

beautiful woman sitting alone at the other end of the bar.

"Say, Eddie. Who the fuck's that bitch? She working?"

"I don't think so. She been in for a couple of hours. A

bunch of guys went up to her, but she shot 'em all down. Not

any kind of pro I ever seen turn down that many guys. Plus,

she's been checking her watch every few minutes; like she's

waiting for somebody." Eddie observed.

"She's one foxy lady. I think Leroy needs to introduce

himself."

"Hey, Leroy, what about Monique?"

"What Monique don't know won't hurt her." Leroy chuckled as

he headed down to the other end of the bar.

"I think it's a crime that such a pretty lady should be

alone." Leroy took the seat next to her.

"And who are you, the date police?"

"No, my name is Leroy Brown, and I hate to see such a foxy

mama all by herself."

"So what do you think you're going to do about it?" She

asked haughtily.

"Well, first I need to find out your name and find out why

you're alone?"

"My name's Doris and I'm waiting for my man."

"Well Doris, I don't know what kind of man would make such a

sexy woman wait in a bar for him all night."

Doris stared deeply into Leroy's eyes, becoming instantly

attracted to this man whom she only had known for a few

minutes. "I think you're right. What do you plan on doing

about it." She wet her lips sexily with her tongue and

started running her index finger along Leroy's forearm.

"Well, I happen to have access to a room upstairs. I'll make

you forget all of your worries." Leroy then turned to Eddie,

"Say, my man, throw me the key. And take this green and

throw it in your safe." Leroy handed more than $97000 to his

friend.

Eddie sighed in resignation and tossed Leroy the key to the

small apartment above the bar after dropping the cash into

the large grey safe. Leroy led Doris up the back stairs and

into the second floor apartment.

They threw themselves at each other, savagely mashing their

lips together. Leroy parted her lips with his tongue and she

eagerly sucked it into her own. They moved to the bedroom,

where Leroy fell back on the bed and Doris straddled him,

furiously unfastening his pants.

"You think you're pretty slick with women don't you?" Doris

said as she was yanking down his boxers.

"Well, they do call me the 'treetop lover'." Leroy boasted.

Doris gasped as she removed his nine inch cock from his

pants. "Leroy, they might call you the 'treetop lover', but

right now I'm interested in that tree trunk." With that,

Doris opened her mouth widely and engulfed his huge member,

getting about half of it in. With one hand she violently

pumped his shaft while timing her hand strokes with the

bobbing of her head on his cock.

Leroy lifted Doris off of his cock and finished taking his

clothes off while her dress slid off of her sexy body,

revealing enormous tits with jet black areolas topped by

three-quarter inch nipples.

Leroy licked his lips as he pulled Doris down on the bed.

She climbed on top of him and gingerly lowered herself on

Leroy's prick. She grunted in a combination of pain and

pleasure as Leroy bottomed out. Riding him like a cowboy,

her breasts jiggled obscenely as Leroy tried to corral them

in his large hands.

He grabbed them roughly in his hands and lowered a nipple to

his mouth, nibbling on its stony peak. Doris moaned her

pleasure and bucked her pussy harder on Leroy's cock. Her

movements became more clumsy and Leroy had to grab her by

the hips to steady her. She grunted and squealed in orgasm

as she collapsed on Leroy's chest. They lay like that for a

couple of minutes, Leroy's cock resting just inside Doris's

sex. He flipped her over, entered her quickly, and began

pounding her pussy without remorse. She came shortly and

came again, and then three more times, yelling loudly with

each orgasm. Leroy sped his movements, knowing he needed to

get back to the game, and his cock erupted, releasing a

torrent of semen into her well fucked cunt.

They dressed quickly and silently, sharing a light kiss

before leaving the apartment to head back to the bar. As

they emerged from the back stairway Doris turned white as

she looked in the direction of the bar. The object of her

attention was an enormous man who had just emerged from the

back room.

"Where the fuck you been, Doris?" Luther boomed from across

the bar.

"Now settle down Luther." Doris replied meekly.

"Don't give me that 'settle down' shit," Luther bristled.

"What the fuck you doing with this chump?"

"Who the fuck you callin' 'chump', nigger?" Leroy responded

angrily.

"I'm callin' you chump, mother fucker."

Leroy was not a man accustomed to being yelled at in a

hostile fashion and in Eddie's place, which he considered

part of his 'turf', this was an affront that he could not

let go unchallenged.

With a mighty grunt, Leroy sprang from his feet like a puma

and retrieved his switchblade from his boot all in one

motion. His lunge landed him to within two feet of Luther,

and Leroy depressed the catch on the blade, releasing it

from its sheath, and stabbed it deeply into his adversary's

abdomen. But the other man reacted quicker to the attack

than Leroy expected and was able to turn himself slightly.

Instead of entering the center of the stomach the knife

ended plunging into the side muscles near his belly; it was

certainly bloody and messy, but didn't do any serious

damage.

"Arrgh." Luther screamed out in pain and reflexively drove

his heel into Leroy's groin, causing him to stumble backward

in pain. Blood was oozing out of Luther's side but he took

advantage of Leroy being in a supine position and pounced

on him with his own knife. He managed to plunge it into

Leroy's arm several times before Leroy was able to gain some

leverage and throw him off.

The back room had cleared of all the craps players, most

having run out the rear exit with the first sounds of

commotion. All of the bar occupants had fled, were hiding

under the table, or were inching closer to get a better

view. All except Doris, who was screeching for Luther and

Leroy to stop, and Eddie, who was searching behind the bar

for his sawed off shotgun.

The next few minutes were a blur of knives, blood, and two

large bodies flailing around on the floor. Out of the mass

of confusion two gunshots were heard and as the bar silenced

en masse the next sound was the click of Eddie's shotgun

being pointed at Luther's head.

"Now unless you don't want to be pickin' up your fucking

brains with a straw, you'll drop that gun and get the fuck

out of here." Eddie said emphatically as blood was gushing

from Luther in several places.

When it was finished, Leroy was sliced in over a dozen

places and had bullet holes in his leg and stomach. He was

unconscious and blood was seeping from him at an alarming

rate. An ambulance rushed him to the hospital, where he

underwent emergency surgery and remained unconscious in

intensive care for three days.

Monique, Eddie, and Eddie's wife, Shirley, all took turns

sitting in vigil for those three days as Leroy barely clung

to life. They paced and swore, and tried to lay blame for

Leroy's resultant condition. But when all the recrimination

was over, they all came to the same conclusion: it was

simply Leroy's time. He had been in too many of these

scrapes to escape the odds forever. He lived life by the

street's rules and now he was paying the consequences for

it.

Tuesday he woke up in the hospital with the three of them

waiting near his bed. His head throbbed and he was shocked

to see all of the stitches and IV tubes now decorating his

body. He looked haggard -- near death would be as apt a way

of describing it as possible -- but brightened as he saw his

friends surrounding the bed.

"What day is it?" Leroy asked in a rasping, barely audible

voice.

"Tuesday, baby." Monique reached out and lightly grasped his

hand and Leroy tried to muster up strength to squeeze back.

"What happened?"

"That big mother fucker kicked your ass. I never thought I'd

see that day." Eddie replied then tempered the harsh nature

of his comments. "I found out that he fought golden gloves a

couple of years ago, then he turned pro. Now he's moving up

the ranks in the Light Heavyweight division. But he looked

real shitty when he left too."

Leroy could feel some strength return and he struggled to

pull himself to a sitting position. He drank a cup of water

and some of the life seemed to return to his face.

"Eddie, man, I'm sorry about the bar."Leroy said. "What kind

of shape is it in?"

"It's not too bad, a few broken tables and stools. That's

all."

"Well, whatever the damage comes to, let me know. I'll cover

it." Leroy tried to summon a smile.

"No need. With the money I made from holding the crap game

in my place I got more than enough to..."

Leroy cut off Eddie, "Fuck that shit, Eddie. I'm responsible

for that mess, I'm going to pay for it. Besides, I walked

out of that game with over 70 large more than I started

with."

Monique asked if she could have a few minutes alone with

Leroy. Shirley leaned over and kissed him on the cheek and

Eddie patted his non injured shoulder before they left the

room.

"Oh, sugar I was so scared that I was going to lose you."

Monique said.

"I'm sorry for puttin' you through all this baby." Leroy

apologized.

"Well, if you could manage to keep your dick in your pants

you wouldn't have been in this position, would you?"

"Baby, I don't know what to s..."

"I don't want to hear any of this 'baby' shit." Monique

scolded. "I can't live this way anymore. I love you but I'm

not going to spend my life waiting on you to go fuck all

your whores and then come back to me. You're going to have

to choose between me and them. I'm not going to spend my

life sharing you." Tears started rolling down her cheeks and

she tried to hide them.

Leroy closed his eyes in reflection. The pain of his wounds

were nothing compared to the pain he knew he had inflicted

on his girlfriend. He knew Monique was serious; she had

never spoken to him about this with such feeling and

intensity. He also knew he couldn't live his life without

her. They had been together for over a decade, and although

he didn't think of his future often, whenever he did Monique

was always a large part of it.

He felt fairly confident that he could give up the other

women; he usually only picked up other women because he

could. He liked all the sex, but Monique was always more

than enough woman for him. The big question he had to ask

himself was could he make a commitment of this magnitude and

honor it.

As he thought more about it, he realized that for the first

time he could ever remember, he was thinking about his own

mortality. The fight and loss to Luther had been the first

defeat of any note that Leroy had ever suffered, and it

scared the shit out of him. He realized, perhaps for the

first time in his entire life, that he wasn't invincible and

that certainly made him think about things in a much

different light. Perhaps settling down wasn't such a bad

thing, after all. He loved Monique with all his heart and

maybe it was time to step up to the plate and be a man about

things.

"Monique, baby," Leroy looked up at her and started to

remove one of the large diamond rings from his right hand.

"This might not be real proper doing it this way, but I love

you."

Leroy took Monique's hand and began to slip the oversized

ring over her thin finger. Tears began to well up in

Monique's eyes as he brought her hand to his lips.

"What I'm trying to say is..." Leroy hesitated, clearing his

throat. "Monique, baby, will you be my wife?"
