A few years have gone by since Pete and me was first in the Legs nightclub.  You might say we found family that night.  We started "working" for the Otis brothers a week or so later and became well known as their personal bodyguards. 

I remember the first time things got really hot.  Gold ring Otis (his nickname was Goldie) was getting so ticked that he couldn't even play his guitar.  There was this new mug in town going by the name 'fangs' and he was trying to take the action away from the brothers.

Silver ring Otis (his nickname was Silver), being somewhat laid back, liked to slip away from us.  One night he did just that.  Goldie sends us looking for him and we find him across town in this new club called 'The Land Down Under' (catchy).  Now, we know who operates this joint so we keep in the shadows.  Pete and I can't believe what's going on.  Silver is sitting with Fangs!  They're drinking and laughing and having a good old time.  Pete says "what do we do, Fins.  Goldie is gonna go ballistic when we tell him."  I says "yea!  But we gotta do what's right.  You keep an eye on them,  I'll find a phone and call Goldie." 

I call Goldie and he freaks out!  After he calms down, he says, " you and Pete do what we both know has to be done."  I hear him but I don't make the connection for a second or two.  Then it hits me, we gotta take Silver to the bean counter!  His number is up!  I meet up with Pete and he says, "you look like you got stuck outta water or something.  What did Goldie say."  So I tell him what he said.  Pete tells me to wait.  He's gotta go real bad and goes to the restroom.  Pete comes out in time to bump into Silver as he is getting up to leave.  Silver was pretty surprised to see him.  Pete was cool.  He says to Silver.  "I'm here to pick you up, it's time to go."  Silver nodded and they walked toward the door.  I slipped in behind them and when we were outside, Silver saw me and tried to run.  Pete tripped him (quite a trick being Silver had eight legs).  Silver fell to the ground with a thud.  I grabbed four of his legs and Pete grabbed the others.  We started for the bean counter. 

As we approached the river, I had an idea so we dragged him into an old factory.  I says," listen to what I have to say.  What did you think you were doing, partying with Fangs."  I didn't tell him nothing." Silver says.  I was just tired of Goldie telling me what I could and couldn't do, so I went to see the new club.  I know Goldie won't understand so you mugs gotta do what he says.  Petes about ready to pee himself and I ask him what's up.  "Fins," he says, "I don't feel good about this, Silvers been good to us."  "Yea," I says, "I know.

Look Silver, this is an offer you can't refuse.  You gotta disappear and don't come back here. I'll tell Goldie I sent you to sleep with the fishes.  He'll believe me."  "Thanks, Fins," Silver says.  "I won't let you down."  "You'd better not."  I says.  With that, Silver was gone.  A few weeks later, a puffed up old fish washed ashore.  He was all bloaty and no one could identify him.  Goldie heard the news and figured it was Silver.  Nothing was ever said about what had transpired again.  A week after the fish was found, Fangs vanished and Goldie opened another club on the West Side of town.  No one said a word, but they all knew it was me that sent Fangs to "sleep with the fishes.  "Mugs that wouldn't give me the time of day were showing me respect.  To show his appreciation, Goldie set me up in Fang's old club and it's been called Finny's ever since.  By the way, Pete went into business too.  He started a commercial janitorial company with a focus on nightclub restrooms.  Go figure.
