Location: Card room/Grapevine Tavern/St. Louis/listeningpost-accessed. Speaking: Unidentified Males #1 #2, presumed organized-crime associates. (Conversation 17.4 minutes in progress).
UM #1: He saw it. My brother, I mean. He's in the National Guard.
UM #2: But that's Detroit. You got a higher ratio of spooks to whites there.
UM #1: Don't tell me it can't happen and won't happen everywhere else. Don't tell me it won't happen, because it will. You trace everywhere Martin Luther Coon goes and you see pins in the map that mark dead white people.
UM #2: That's true. You got Watts, you got Detroit, you got D.C. You got riots in our nation's capital.
UM #1: You also got the bounty. I realize that it's something like half real-
UM #2: Yeah, at best, because-
UM #1: Because it don't matter as long as Joe Patriot thinks it's real and does the job.
UM #2: Pow. He does the job. That's the goddamn thing.
UM #1: You got to believe there's more bounties out there. Myth or not, it just takes one guy to believe.
UM #2: Coon's a dead man. It's-what's that word?
UM #1: Inevitable?
UM #2: Yeah, right.
UM #1: We outnumber the niggers. Like 20 to 1. That's why I think it'll happen.

Sirs, Per spot-tail Subject Ward J. Littell.
Subject Littell continues to divide his work time between Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Washington, D.C. He is currently working on the Las Vegas end of negotiations for the purchase of the Castaways Hotel and on the Washington end of conferences pertaining to appeals on the behalf of Teamster President James R. Hoffa. Subject Littell also continues to be intimately involved with Janice Tedrow Lukens. I have concluded, along with the other assigned agents, that Subject Littell assumes the presence of sporadically initiated tails and thus drives different workday routes in order to thwart them. That said, I should also state that Subject Littell has not been seen engaging in any sort of activity that might be deemed suspicious.
Spot-tails to be continued on the ordered basis.
Respectfully,
SA T. V. Houghton

Here's another ditty for you, Coon;
The Bounty Man's going to get your black ass soon;
Fear the NSRP, John Birch and the Klan;
Fear the wrath of the righteous All-White Man;
Better get your shroud and wait for Judgment Day;
The White Man says you've outlived your stay;
Grab your pickaninnies, your wine and your dope;
Grab your watermelons and don't you mope;
Better head for Africa lickety-split;
The White Man's going to tar your hide in shit;
When that happens all the white folks will go hooray!
And say we killed that nigger who outlived his stay!

THE WORLDWIDE JEWISH PIG ORDER HAS CHRISTENED YOU WITH THE BLESSING OF THE RAPIST POPE AND THE LEARNED ELDERS OF ZION WHO HAVE CAST A SPELL OF PUS OVER THE CHILDREN WHO DARED TO FIGHT THE JEW INFIDEL IN THE NAME OF THE ARAB DIASPORA. YOUR UGLY MOTHER KNOWS YOU ARE THE SPAWN OF THE HEBREW COCKSEED AND THE RABID GOAT. THE JEWISH CANCER MACHINE FEARS THE HEADACHE DOCTOR. HE SMOKES MARLBORO CIGARETTES NOT GEFILTE FISH.

Dominoes: the DI/the Sands/the Castaways. On tap: The Frontier.
Ten pins: Non-Mormon skim men snitched to the Feds. Old skim hands in custody.
Littell planned. Littell sowed. The Boys reaped. Bribes/PR/extortion. Blackmail/philanthropy.
It took four years. Drac owns Las Vegas now. It's Drac's kingdom complete.
Three units down. More up. Eight pending. Drac buys Vegas. Drac owns Vegas-cosmetically.
The Boys exult. The Boys praise Littell. The Boys co-opt Wayne Senior. Wayne Senior deploys. Wayne Senior recruits:
Mormons for the DI. Mormons for the Castaways. Mormons for the Sands. Mormon floor men/Hughes-vetted/legit. Mormon _skim_ men/_non_-vetted/_non_-legit.
More hotels on tap. More Mormon hires pending. Drac gets the inked deeds. Drac gets the glory. The Boys get the money.
Littell braced the Boys. The Boys agreed: Let's suspend the skim. Let Drac move in. Let the ink dry. Let the shouts subside.
Skim then. Rig the vacuums. Put the hose to Drac.
Littell said we're ready. I've pegged sixty-one businesses. They're pension-fund-indebted. They're subornable. They're cake. We revive the skim. We suborn said businesses. We divert profits and plant foreign casinos.
It looked good on paper. It was good for him. It upped his retirement stakes.
Retire me. I'm stretched thin. I'm _scared_. Drac scared him. Drac talked PR. Drac talked financial disclosure.
I'll buff my image. I'll audit my books. I'll publish clean stats. _Don't_ do it. _I've_ pilfered. Don't disclose _my_ tithe stats.
Retire me. I'm stretched thin. My love life's a mess. I dream about Jane. I make love to Janice.
Janice found work. Janice bought a golf shop. She sold golfwear at the Sands Hotel. She built a rep.
She did trick shots at her indoor range. She built a rep. She ragged herself like Barb did. She built a rep. She performed. She drew customers. She made money.
She still limped. She still cramped. She still spasmed up. She drank less now. She downed less. She tattled less. She laid off the Tedrows. She'd outgrown their spell.
He slept with Janice. Jane shared the bed. Jane bludgeoned/Jane shotgunned/Jane bled.
Retire me. I'm stretched thin. It hurts to sleep. My hate life's a mess.
