THE PREDATOR ELITE:S1/CH2/"SECURITY"

Season1/Chapter2
"Security"

"Good evening Mr. Barkley. I want to thank you for seeing me so late in the evening. I do appreciate it." Atlas Kingston was being his usually charming self. The men shook hands and stepped into the immaculately decorated office. He had called Mr. James Barkley, attorney at law and made an appointment. He asked for the latest time available for the appointment. He was sure to state, "The later the better." Mr. Barkley was more than willing to obliged. Mr. Barkley said, "Please sit down. Would you like something to drink? Water, Soda and with a sly smile he said, "Scotch." Atlas said, "No thank you. I don't drink spirits. But thank you anyway."

"So now, what can I do for you?" Barkley sat behind his large mahogany desk. He fiddled with some paperwork and stop to wait for an answer. Atlas said, "As I mentioned to your secretary, I have some arrangements I need to do in reference to money." With that, Barkley smiled. He said, "What kind of arrangements are we talking about?" Atlas said, "Well, I've come into some money. Not a lot mind you but enough that needs looking after." "I see," said Barkley. Atlas continued, "It's very strange really. I came into it by sheer luck." Barkley sat up in his chair and said, "Pray tell."

Atlas said, "I was a security guard for twenty years. I worked in the downtown library. You know, when libraries had books. I spent hours upon hours with books." Barkley said, "I see. Please continue." "I worked the midnight shift. So, I started reading, then the reading became studying and then the studying became learning." Barkley said, "What does that have to do with this money you are talking about?" Atlas said, "Well, I took an interest in chemistry, mechanics, engineering and many other subjects. I soon found myself well versed in these fields." Barkley said, "So why didn't you go out into the world and implement the knowledge you gained." Atlas thought for a while and then said, "I guess I was satisfied with life. The pleasure for me was in learning, not monetizing." "I see," said Barkley. "I still don't see how I can help you and/or with what I can help you." Atlas smiled and said, "Oh yes, the money."

"About a year ago, I went into my regular gas station and bought a scratch off ticket. I did it on a whim." Barkley was now at full attention. "I waited two days before scratching it off. When I did, it said that I had won $7,000 a week for life. I was exalted. I did not know what to do." It then occurred to me to see an attorney. So, that is why I'm here." Barkley was all grin and teeth. He said, "So you want advice on what to do with it?" Atlas stop smiling and said, "No. I know what to do with it. I just needed an excuse to get you alone." Barkley said, "So it's a lie." Atlas said, "No Mr. Barkley, it is not a lie. I did win and yes, I did need to see you."

Barkley looked confused. He said, "Okay, you need to tell me what's going on here?" Atlas said, "It's about a girl and a former client of yours. The girls name is Abigail Tomlin and your client is or was Billy Ranard." "Now see here, I think it's time you left my office." Atlas said, "I don't think so. It's time you paid for your sins." Barkley said, "What sins? He was my client and I defended him. Everyone is entitled to a competent defense, aren't they!" "They are," said Atlas but to advise before the crime is committed makes you culpable. Barkley was incensed. He started to get up and that's when he felt it. The sharp pain raced through his head. He grabbed it and screamed. He felt as though someone had taken a hacksaw to his head. Atlas said, "I poisoned you sir." Barkley was on the ground. He looked up and tears were streaming down his eyes. "But how," he said. Atlas replied, "With the hand shake sir, with the hand shake." They were all alone. The secretary had gone home for the evening. Atlas stood over James Barkley, Esq. as he slowly succumb to the poison. Atlas kneels down and said, "Mrs. Jackie Tomlin sends her regards." Atlas then got up, peeled the adhesive from his palm and then left the office.

THE PREDATOR ELITE: S1/CH1/"LITTLE MAN"

Season1/Chapter1
""Little Man"

Hello Mr. Ranard. I hope I haven't caught you at a bad time. Ranard looked at the little man and thought, "What's this all about?" "My name is Atlas, Atlas Kingston." The little man looked around and smiled. He removed his fedora and sat in the nearest chair. Ranard looked around also and wondered where his men were. They must have seen this little chubby man come in. He looks ridiculous. He sort of reminds me of a younger version of "Mr. Magoo." How silly he thought. "Hey mister, I don't know what you are doing here but your in for a lot of pain." Ranard sat up in his bed and looked over at the nightstand. He reached over and opened the top drawer. He removed a .44 magnum. He pointed the weapon directly at Atlas Kingston. He expected the little man to quiver and panic. He did not. He simply smiled and shook his head.

"Dear Mr. Ranard, I have business to attend to." Ranard was a bit unsettled. He said, "What business is that?" Atlas said, "The business of killing you." Ranard began to laugh. He was holding the gun and thought he had the advantage. Atlas allowed Ranard to have his moment of glee. He then said, "As for your men, I have disabled them. I saw no need to kill them also." Atlas shifted in his seat and then continued, "You see, Mrs. Tomlin asked me to visit you." At that name, Ranard tightened up. He now knows what this is about. Atlas saw the recognition and said, "Yes, you remember. You killed her daughter. You raped and then killed her." Ranard stood up and took a step forward. He was still holding the gun. He said, "Know one can prove that. The courts cleared me."

"Oh yes, the courts," said Atlas. "They did clear you. You had an insanely good lawyer. I'll be visiting him as soon as I'm done with you. I like to be as proficient as possible." Ranard headed over to the door. He looked outside his room. He did not see his men. "Where were they?" Atlas said, "They are incapacitated." Then he smiled. Ranard's anger started to build. He said, "So little man, how are you going to kill me? I'm twice your size and I have the gun." Atlas said, "Yes you are and yes you do, but I have the bullets." Ranard pop the chamber to the .44 and saw that they were empty. His anger intensified. He started to head towards Atlas and that's when he felt it.

A sharp pain speared through his head. He thought his head was going to explode. He fell down and was on the floor. He grabbed his head and screamed. The scream was so loud he thought it was someone else screaming. Atlas stood up from the chair and said, "That would be the poison I gave you. It's fast acting once it is activated. When you touched the butt of your gun, it was activated." Ranard was screaming and intermittently whimpering. He did not know what to do. All he knew was that he was dying and there was nothing he could do about it. He had a final scream and then a final whimper. The shine in his eye went out. Mr. Billy Ranard was no longer amongst the living. Atlas took the gun and pealed off the adhesive he had placed over the butt of the gun. He then looked around and made for the door. He then said, "In light of these events, I think it's time to go see an attorney."

BRICK & MORTAR STORES CLOSING

Well that's just great. Brick and mortar stores are closing all over the place. What's a caveman like myself to do. There are stores like Macy's, Sears, K-Mart and so on, closing stores throughout the United States. They cannot survive the onslaught from online retailers. Can everyone say AMAZON in unison! Yes, they are the dastardly culprits or at least the number one problem to the brick and mortar. They are sucking the life out of these stores as we speak.


There are those of us who like to try on, touch, and/or see in person, the things we buy. It's only natural. What if it doesn't fit? What if it doesn't look like the picture? Now, you have to go through the ordeal of returning and waiting for the correct item to come to you. This could be frustrating and tiring, all at the same time. I'm not one to complain. Well, not all of the time. But, I like going to the stores, especially the ones in the mall. Is that true? I wonder. When, was the last time I went shopping at the mall. All those long lines, parking and yes, the people (SMH), I may have to reconsider this argument. Sorry. I may have protested to much.


Rest in peace brick and mortar stores. I'm sure some of you will survive and others won't. Progress, it's a "B." Oh yes, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO VISIT MY ONLINE STORES FOUND ON THIS PAGE. LOOK TO YOUR RIGHT. THANKS. YOUR GREAT AND WONDERFUL!


CHEERIO!

DINOSAUR GATOR

A massive alligator was spotted in a reserve near Lakeland, Florida. The animal is 12-feet-long and appears to weigh about as much as a mini-cooper. The animal is so big that many thought it was a hoax. It has been established that it is the real thing. The animal is believed to be a distant cousin to dinosaurs. If you see the video of the animal walking on land, you would agree.

What's amazing is not that such an animal exist. There was an even bigger alligator found before in another part of Florida. What's amazing is the spectators. When you see the video or the pictures, you will see people taking pictures of the animal. They are just standing and kneeling at what appears to be a few feet from the animal. They have no barrier, no wall, and no protection.

I mean really, really! Whatever happened to self preservation? Did I mention that the animal is a relative of dinosaurs. It looks like a dinosaur! And here you have these folks, they are all up close and personal with the gator. What happens if he decides it's time to eat? You should know that alligators go after the biggest prey. That's one of the things I like about them. So, if you are the fat-boy in the bunch, guest who's going first. I get that you want a picture. I recommend google images. BYE!

BEASTIALITY

I'm not one to judge. I'm a "live and let live" king of guy. But when I here of an actual case of beastiality, I have to say something. I mean really, really. A Florida man was accused of this and it has got to be the sickest, if not the saddest, thing ever. His roommate reported him when she witnessed him abusing the animal over 100 times.

My question is simple. Why did it take the 100th time to report this? She couldn't of reported it say after the 10th time. I'm just saying. I bet the dog that was abused is thinking the same thing. I have heard the term beastiality. I know it's a fetish for some. We won't go into that discussion. But now that I think about it, isn't it always abuse. Shouldn't the porn related beastiality folks be charged also. I mean, if we're going after this guy, why should the others get a pass. "Just saying." I'm going to take a shower now. I feel dirty.

For those of you who want proof:

THE FUTURE OF MARIJUANA

Ah yes, Marijuana. What can I say about it. It's been around a millennium. It was all the craze in the sixties and for that matter every decade after that. It use to be illegal in all fifty states. But then came, medical use marijuana. Can anyone say gateway? All you need is a doctors prescription and "bingo" you can have your marijuana. There are 28 legal medical marijuana states and D.C. Some states have approved it for recreational use. I'll leave it to you to find out which ones are those states.

The question is not simply can you use it. The question is more how can you profit from it. Well, there are several ways to do this. You can open a marijuana dispensary and sell it to qualified individuals. I use the word qualified loosely. You can set up a business to help the sellers of the legal dispensaries manage their money. As of now, regular banks will not allow the sellers to open bank accounts and/or use banks like ordinary businesses. The banks are afraid of the federal government. The "feds" still classify marijuana as an illegal substance.

The easiest way to profit from this without having federal law enforcement breathing down your neck is to invest in these companies. There are many marijuana related companies selling stock to the general public. The stocks range in price from pennies up to ten dollars. It is a risky investment. But let's take a layman's look at this industry. It goes without saying that marijuana will eventually be legalized in all fifty states. It's just a matter of time. And when I say time, I mean in the next twenty years if not sooner. What would happen if you started buying stock in some promising marijuana companies now? When the stock price goes up or there's a buy-out of the company by bigger companies (see: Big Tobacco), your stock will be worth a small fortune. This industry is ready to explode. If you play the long game, you could be in the ground floor for the wind fall. FOOD FOR THOUGHT, THINK ABOUT IT. 

Mayweather Vs. McGregor

Connor McGregor has challenged Floyd Mayweather to a fight. Mayweather has countered that challenge. The problem is the amount of money that would go to each fighter. Mayweather wants 100 million dollars and so does McGregor. Out of the two fighters, only one has ever collected that kind of money, Mayweather. What should be noted is that Floyd Mayweather is a professional boxer. Connor McGregor is a professional mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter. The sports are quite different. One involves the use of the hands only. The other involves the use of everything with the exception of head buts.

This is my SOLUTION for Mayweather and McGregor. They should agree to have two fights. Each of the fights should correlate to each of their prospective sport. They should further agree that in the boxing match, Mayweather will take home the larger percentage of the purse. In the MMA match, McGregor will take home the larger percentage of the purse. They should also agree that if Mayweather loses to McGregor in a boxing match, there is no reason for a second fight. And the same should be agreed upon if McGregor loses to Mayweather in an MMA match. This will give further encouragement to fight at their highest capabilities and not to look for a second payday.

Now, how do we decide which fight should take place first, the Boxing match or the MMA fight. Some would argue since Mayweather is undefeated, he should decide on which fight should be chosen. Of course, he would choose boxing. Others may say, Since McGregor was the one to originally place forth the challenge, he should choose. Of course, he would choose MMA. I say do it the old fashion way, FLIP A COIN.
