Revenge Return

Johnson sighs, “All you people have to do is stack bodies. Do you realize how much paperwork I have to do, per body?”
I lecture Johnson, “When I was here before, a punk physically attacked me. He had little friends at hand and I, ah, disposed of him as rapidly as I could. I then politely asked, ‘Who’s next?’ None of the little friends wanted at me, jointly or severally. Then the local police arrested me, for what I know not. I was no billed, by the Grand Jury. I then went into civil court and won a money judgment against Billy, the punk. Billy has not paid my money judgment and the local police claim that they don’t enforce civil affairs. I also won a money judgment against the local police and the town. The matter wound up in bankruptcy court and I have not yet seen a dime.”
Johnson says, “I am aware of the past trouble. The past trouble is why my men and I are here.”
I lecture Johnson, “When I was here before, punky boy Billy physically attacked me. I am back, with my crew, since there is a major government contract up for bid, after a successful demo. I offered to fight Billy, in a televised death match, to raise funds to pay my court ordered judgment. Brave Billy may have soiled his panties and he has disappeared.”
Johnson says, “It may surprise you to know that a death match is against the law.”
I say, “It may surprise you to know that failure to pay a court judgment is also against the law.”
Johnson says, “Supposedly, Billy wrote a letter to the court, stating that Billy had no money and no job.”
I sneer, “I wrote a letter to the same court, stating that I wanted to see Billy’s bank balance and his job applications. There was no reply from Billy and the court renewed the judgment. I still have not yet seen a dime.”
Johnson says, “Supposedly, the company that Billy worked for is depending on winning the major government contract that’s now up for bid, after a successful demo. I have seen what the company plans to offer. If it’s revenge that you’re looking for, you’ll almost certainly get your revenge.”
I lecture Johnson, “When I was here before, punky boy Billy stood in front of my demo booth and physically threatened me and my staff. If another punky boy wants trouble, then what?”
Johnson laughs, “If anyone wants trouble, then I will arrest the trouble maker. The trouble maker will get 30 days at hard labor. No hard labor, no state money for the town. The Judge knows.”
I laugh, “I don’t mind a kangaroo court, as long as the kangaroo jumps for my side.”
Johnson asks, “I can see that you have blackbelts. Where did you get the tech people to produce the demo?”
I laugh, “They are the same people. They are the same people who apparently said that the Chairman was a fink. Then they joined a touring Kung Fu troop, when they saw which way the kangaroo was jumping.”
Johnson laughs, “If your people behave, they will have no trouble with me. The Chairman is another matter entirely.”
I laugh, “The Chairman rules with an iron fist, in China. However it’s not normal for the Chairman to send assassins to the United States. I foresee no trouble with Chinese government people, looking for trouble.”
Johnson lectures me, “The people and the company that you had trouble with before, were, to an extent at least. controlled by one George Wockle. George Wockle is currently being investigated by the federal government, for criminal prosecution. They have already fined George Wockle and the company some eleven million dollars for fraud, involved with deliveries of items delivered to the federal government.”
I muse, “A fine of eleven million dollars should have left the company in some economic distress.”
Johnson says, “You might say that. I am aware of the past trouble. The past trouble is why my men and I are here. We will stand for no trouble.”
I tell Johnson. “We look for no trouble.”
