About this ebook
Late on Wednesday nights/Thursday mornings, Rapid Romeo has been visiting a married lady whose husband is always gone Wednesday night. Rapid Romeo parks his car in the deep shadow under a tree on a side street, apparently to avoid advertising that his lady friend has a visitor. The deep shadow will work well with the plans that I and the repo guy make.
Wednesday night, I walk from my place, over to the repo place, a couple of mile hike, because I don’t want my car to be seen at the repo place. The repo guy then uses his truck and drives us over to where I tell him. We get to the side street and Rapid Romeo’s soon to be ex-car is parked right where it lately always is on a Wednesday night. The repo guy and I use the master keys a repo operation always has and, by chance, one of my keys opens the passenger side door. I make sure that the passenger side door is closed and then I dash around the car, brandishing the key to let the repo guy know I can open the driver’s side door. The repo guy trots over to his truck and waits. I get in Rapid Romeo’s soon to be ex-car and make damn sure that all of the doors and windows of the stolen are closed and locked. I then fire up Rapid Romeo’s ex-car and ease it away from the curb.
The repo guy dives into his truck, as I start the car.
I then follow the repo guy’s truck through back streets on our way over to his impound lot.
(To understand the next bit of action, you need to analyze Rapid Romeo’s situation from a systems point of view. Rapid Romeo is screwing some guy’s wife, in the guy’s house. If Rapid Romeo gets discovered by her husband, he may have to run for it. One thing he doesn’t need is to drop his wallet during his escape. Thus, Rapid Romeo doesn’t take his wallet into the house. No, he cleverly stashes his wallet under the drivers side seat of his car.)
As I follow the repo guy, I feel under the seat and find a wallet sized lump. I stash the wallet in my inside jacket pocket. I also manage to raid the glove compartment for a few interesting items.
We get back to the repo guy’s impound lot. I dump Rapid Romeo’s ex-car in the inner lot and trot back out to the repo guy’s office. I get my pay from the repo guy and tell him, “You never saw me. You have no idea who I am. I was most certainly not involved in the repo of the stolen.”
The repo guy smiles, shakes his head and says, “In my business, my short term memory loss is a real advantage.”
I stuff my pay in my jacket pocket and take off, on foot, for home. I keep to the dark shadows and listen carefully for sounds of movement, in order to avoid being spotted. I slide down dark streets until I find a street light, sort of hidden behind a large bush that blocks most of the view from the main street. I discover, to my surprise and delight, that Rapid Romeo has a very nice chunk of cash in his wallet.
(I later discover that the money in his wallet is very probably Rapid Romeo’s life savings, plus every cent he could borrow around the beach, and was destined for a drug buy, to get Rapid Romeo goods for sale to earn him some much needed income.) There are also four credit cards inside the wallet, each credit card with a different name. There are also four different driver’s licenses, with names to match the credit cards. I take the credit cards and leave the driver’s licenses. There’s a top of the line condom, which I take and a piece of paper that I also take. The piece of paper has girl’s names and telephone numbers. I rip the piece of paper into a hundred shreds and deposit a few shreds in each vacant lot, mud puddle, storm drain, etc. If I keep the paper and call just one of the girls, the beach then knows who took Rapid Romeo’s car and I don’t need the notoriety.)
I then dump what’s left of Rapid Romeo’s wallet into a mail box. He can explain to the Postal Service why he has four driver’s licenses in four different names.

I'm the co-author, with Sunset Thomas, of Anatomy of An Adult Film.I have 48 novels and over 299 short stories currently published.I spent my early years in the part of Los Angeles known as the South Central. I was known as Whi' Boy, which was sufficient to identify me in that place. I'm a skilled Kung Fu player, using a system that I learned from a Korean I knew only as 'Pak.' It would be easier to tell you the places that Pak wasn't wanted by the police, rather than the places where he was wanted by the police. Pak's Kung Fu system, augmented by some bits and pieces from some Chinese practitioners is quick and effective, or I wouldn't be alive today.My early education was mostly obtained by stealing books from the public library (I always returned them and the Librarian even began to provide me with reading lists.) I did go to high schools, but I never really learned anything there. I eventually graduated from the University of California at Los Angeles, UCLA, with a degree in mathematics.I work as a Systems Analyst and also make a part of my living as a professional gambler (legal in Nevada.) I write science fiction and erotica. My published novels are:Anatomy of An Adult Film (With Sunset Thomas)1. Second Chance: God Killer2. Second Chance: Sky Pirate3. Second Chance: Scroll Seeker4.

The Demise of Rapid Romeo
By R. Richard © 2018
I used to live at the beach. If you have never lived at the beach, then you don’t really understand the beach.
The first thing you need to understand is that the beach is an ‘us versus them’ community. There’s the legion of folks who come to the beach on sunny summer weekends and afternoons (them) and the people who live at the beach (us.) If you are one of them, ask yourself if you would like someone to come to your area and lie on the parkway while littering the place with trash. Neither do the people at the beach, but the beach people need the money the visitors bring.
The next thing you need to understand is that there aren't really a lot of jobs at the beach. The land is way too expensive to allow for use for most businesses. Thus, it’s hard for beach boys to get local employment. (A hot looking beach girl can get and keep a job as a waitress in the beach restaurants and bars. Age is no barrier here, as long as the girl is under 25-years-old.) The financial situation leads to there being a lot of ‘disabled’ beach bums at most beaches. The ‘disabled’ beach bums get a tiny disability check and often make a little (illegal) money doing odd jobs, selling weed, etc. They mostly eke out an existence by living with a lady, who does have a job.
I live at the beach and I'm only tolerated because I earn money that I spend at the beach, have quickly learned not to criticize the beach bums living on disability and I play Kung-Fu at a high level. The Kung-Fu has come in handy a few times when tourist types decided that they could just push aside beach locals.
One guy at the beach who's not only tolerated, but venerated is Rapid Romeo. Rapid Romeo is a tall, handsome lad who’s the local beach stud. Rapid Romeo is the social lion and a sort of sexual
