Billy Bingo: The Forgotten Past
Chapter 12
The next day the news is full of sound bytes regarding the previous night’s murder of Kane Bishop. There are a lot of people talking about the murder but the details remain sketchy. There is no mention of the video in the VCR. Detective Face is the lead Detective and though Billy is not sure why he seems to be covering up for Billy.
A few days go by and then Sylvia Trundle calls Billy requesting that he come to her secluded vacation home up in the mountains. Reluctantly, Billy agrees and drives up into the scenic mountains. The curvy ass roads make Billy nervous and he is glad when he finally reaches his destination.
Billy knocks on the door to Sylvia Trundle’s vacation home. Her houseboy Raoul answers the door and lets Billy in. Raul walks Billy to the swimming pool where, nude, Sylvia is swimming laps. Sylvia eyes Billy and swims to the edge of the pool as Raul walks back inside the house.
“Hey,” Billy says as he pulls out a cigar, lights it, and puts it in his mouth.
Sylvia suggest, “That cigar looks weird hanging in your mouth.” Then totally nude Sylvia gets out the pool. Billy can’t help but admire her body. Sylvia picks up a towel and starts drying herself. “Are you planning to kill me?” Sylvia’s question is direct.
“No.”
“Your plan to kill Kane by the giving him the electric VCR was rather clever.”
Billy takes a drag on his cigar. “I guess I should now ask you, are you planning on killing me?”
Sylvia smiles as she puts on a white terry cloth bathrobe. “I want to set some things straight.”
“Okay.”
Sylvia walks over and sits down at a patio table. She pulls a cigarette from a pack on the table. Billy walks over and lights her cigarette. There is a yellow envelope on the table. Sylvia pulls a picture from the envelope and places it in front of a chair. Billy looks at the picture as he sits down. It is the picture of a man shoving his cock into Tommy’s mouth.
“That man is Judge Haskel. He and Olivia Destone are the ones who killed Clarice. They are the ones who threw you into the pool to drown. For the record, Kane and I are the ones who pulled you to the side of the pool. Do you believe me?”
“I don’t know.” Billy stares at Sylvia. “If you are trying to make me feel guilty for killing Kane, there is no doubt that he was trying rape me and kill me.”
Sylvia stands up. “Take you clothes off and come swimming with me.”
Billy stares at the beautiful, the sexy, the vivacious Sylvia Trundle. It would smart to say no to her. It would be safe to say no to her. Every instinct in Billy’s being, every inner voice in his mind, screamed for him to politely say no and to make an exit. Still, his hands begin to unbutton his shirt and his feet automatically free themselves from his shoes with a couple of quick kicks. Sylvia kisses Billy on the right nipple while her fingers unsnap his pants and a shiver goes up Billy’s spine. Billy wishes that he might not be so perverted that danger turns him on but there he stands as Sylvia lowers his pants and underwear. Billy and Sylvia both blow smoke rings while Sylvia fondles Billy’s cock. Then Billy and Sylvia both abandon their smokes in the ashtray at the same time as though they are of one mind. Billy takes Sylvia in his arms and kisses her on the neck.
Sylvia takes Billy by the hand and leads Billy to the ladder to the high dive. Together they begin to climb the ladder. Billy does not question Sylvia’s plan but simply follows her slowly up the ladder. In his mind Billy pictures that she may have left a weapon at the top of the ladder on the diving board. He imagines her pulling a revolver from where she may have it on the board and putting the revolver to his head. He considers a single shot to his temple and then he would be dead. Then he imagines a large knife might be the weapon that Sylvia uses to seal his bloody destiny. Still, naked, the two of them climb the ladder.
As Sylvia walks out on the very high diving board, Billy sees that she has no weapon hidden. He climbs that final step and walks onto the high diving board with Sylvia. They stand face to face and Sylvia kisses Billy. She tells Billy that when she and Kane saw him in the Apartment parking lot, they knew he’d be part of their destiny. Billy enjoys the sweet taste of Sylvia’s lips as his cock grows rock hard and presses against Sylvia’s pussy. Music starts playing on a speaker. Billy isn’t familiar with the tune but he thinks it is a nice tune. Sylvia starts to lead Billy in a slow dance on the bouncy diving board. Billy looks out across the green foliage and rolling landscape of the picturesque mountains as Sylvia dances him around. With the turning, the view is dizzying. Billy holds Sylvia close and he enjoys the warmth of her naked body against his naked body.
Sylvia gets down to lay on the diving board and pulls Billy on top of her. “I want to feel your huge, hard cock, inside of me.” Gently Billy slides his cock inside of Sylvia’s moist pussy. “Don’t be so gentle. I will not break.”
Billy pumps in and out of Sylvia with hard thrust. The diving board bounces. Billy moans, “This is kind of scary.”
Sylvia licks Billy behind the ear. “You like scary.”
“I guess I do.” Billy closes his eyes and forgetting everything starts enjoying the moment, the sex. Then suddenly Billy’s eyes pop open. Billy feels the weight of someone drop to lay on his back. Then Billy feels a hard cock sliding between his butt cheeks. Billy screams in pain and in horror as Billy feels a hard cock penetrate his virgin ass. Billy glances over this shoulder but the face of whoever is fucking him in the ass is hidden behind a mask of Richard Nixon. The diving board practically jumps vertical with the thrust of the man fucking Billy.
Billy stares into the smiling face of Sylvia. “This is your revenge.” Up and down the diving board jumps. “Fuck. Shit. Son of a bitch!”
After about 15 minutes of hard fucking, the man pulls away from Billy’s ass and holding tightly on to Billy’s head, the man pumps his cock through Billy’s long hair and against Billy’s scalp. Then shooting his load of sperm into Billy’s hair, the man grabs Billy under his arms and yanks Billy up into his arms. The man does a couple of hard jumps and with Billy limp in his arms from the hard fucking, holding Billy tightly in his arms, the man does a rolling dive off the board and into the pool below. Sylvia stands up and dives into the pool.
Billy, Sylvia, and the man swim to the surface. The man is no longer wearing the Richard Nixon mask and Billy can see that the man is Kane Bishop. “They said you are dead.”
“It was wonderful of you to help me fake my demise and get out from under the thumb of Judge Haskel.”
Billy shakes his head. “So I guess now you plan to kill me.”
Picklepuss, sucking on a sweet pickle, walks out to the pool. “Hey Billy. I still want to suck on that dick of yours.”
Kane laughs, “No one is going to kill you, even if they could.”
“What does that mean? Even if they could.”
“If you could die a mortal death, the Judge and Olivia would have already drowned you.”
Picklepuss laughs. “I told you Billy. That birthmark of yours is the sign you are a witch. That means you can’t be destroyed except by beheading or being burned alive.”
Billy shakes his head. “That is bullshit.”
Kane swims up closer to Billy. “I usually keep it covered by makeup.” Kane holds his his right arm up and shows Billy the upper inside of his arm near his armpit. “See. I have the same birthmark. I saw your birthmark on your inner thigh when Sylvia and I pulled you to the side of the pool.”
“You didn’t have a pulse. I thought you were dead. Then you walked back into the party.” Sylvia shakes her head. “I was shocked as hell.”
“It wasn’t until I decided to fake my death that I told Sylvia about our birthmarks and what they mean.”
Billy asked Kane, “So do you have powers?”
“What you really mean to ask is if you have powers. We probably do but without training it does not mean anything.” Kane thinks a second. “Look. I want to clear something up. You think I killed Tommy Harris. I didn’t give the orders. I didn’t follow the orders. I am just guilty of not saving Tommy Harris. I think we are both guilty of that.”
“What? You expect me to think that I can trust you. You just fucked me in the ass. And hell, I’ve seen the tape of what you did to Tommy Harris.”
“Tommy Harris was paid $10,000 to be gang banged. Then he tried to blackmail Judge Haskel just like George Destone blackmailed your mother. Hell, Tommy Harris even considered taking the tape of your mother and doing exactly what George Destone and Ralph Shath had done. Hell, if Judge Haskel had not ordered Tommy Harris killed then you probably would have ended up killing him yourself.”
“So what am I going to do about Judge Haskel?”
“Talk to him. Deliver all copies of the tape to him. Then if he keeps on trying to kill you, then you know what you have to do.”
“You said he and Olivia killed Clarice. Do you think I should just forget that?”
“Do you want to put the lives of more innocent people in jeopardy? Is revenge for someone you did not even know worth putting your family in danger.” Sylvia shakes her head. “What happened to Clarice is tragic but revenge will not bring her back to life.”
* * *
Billy doesn’t find it difficult to enter Judge Haskel’s house. The Judge is sitting at the breakfast table with his wife. Billy enters the room and dumps all the tapes and DVDs on the table. “I consider this over,” Billy tells the Judge. “I am not a blackmailer.”
The Judge stares at Billy. “Do you see my wife sitting there?”
Billy glances at the woman sipping on her coffee. She puts her coffee cup down. She tells Billy, “Detective Face works for me and not my husband. He said you would do the right thing once you understand the situation.”
Billy nods at the Judge. “I suspect you have a very good wife there.”
“My husband will be retiring from both the bench and the gang activity. I fancy to enjoy our last years peacefully down in Florida.”
Billy smiles. “Cool.”
Mrs. Haskel stands up and shakes Billy’s hand. She kisses him on the cheek. “I would not object to you visiting us down there.”
“I may do that.” Billy turns and pats the Judge on the back. “You take care. You have nothing to worry about from me.” Billy leaves.
As Billy gets in his old Comet car he feels as though someone is watching him. He turns and looks around. He doesn’t see anyone. Billy climbs into the driver’s seat and closes his door. He glances into the backseat. No one is there. Billy cranks the car and drives to his friend Steve Webster’s home.
Steve is glad to see Billy as he opens the door. “I feel like I haven’t seen you in forever. Man, come on in.”
Billy smiles and gives Steve a hug. “A whole lot of stuff has been going on. I am going to tell you some things in confidence because I have to talk to someone.”
“Sure.” Steve closes the door behind Billy. They walk over and sit on the couch.
“I know David Jenkins is not my father because of blood type. I think Amberline Darko may be my mother. I have a birthmark like she had, has. Also, I totally favor her. See, here is thing, I was born at the same time she had a son. Supposedly she and her baby died.”
“Supposedly?”
“You totally are not going to believe me. When I was in New York I was actually drowned in a pool. I died. But it didn’t stick.”
“What the fuck have you been smoking?”
“I know it sounds crazy. I haven’t been trained as a witch and so I don’t know what I am capable of doing but the only way I can be killed is if my head is cut off or if I am burned to ashes.”
“Do you really think I believe this?”
“I don’t care whether you believe it or not. I just need to talk to someone and try to reason things out and you are a friend.”
“I am sorry. Go on.”
“Kane Bishop isn’t really dead.”
“Yes he is. It has been in the news. They are going to bury him.”
“It is a sham. I rigged a VCR to electrocute him but his death didn’t stick any more than my death did.”
“So he is also a witch?”
“Yes. Anyway, I was born at the same hospital as where Amberline Darko had her son. I think I am that son. I think the babies were switched. I also don’t think Amberline Darko could have died while in childbirth. I mean, she may have died, but it wouldn’t have stuck.”
“So you think Dirk’s real mother is also a witch? So is Dirk a witch?”
“I don’t know. I don’t know if he has the birthmark.”
“Birthmark?”
Billy stands up and pulls his pants off. He shows Steve his dagger shaped birthmark on his inner thigh. “Kane Bishop has one on his arm. According to David Jenkins, Amberline had the birthmark. If Dirk has the birthmark then yes, he is a witch.”
“So what powers do you have?”
“I don’t know.” Without putting his pants back on Billy sits back down on the couch.
“I do not want to keep harping on this but you do know this sounds crazy.” Steve looks as though he is talking to Billy’s crotch as that is the direction he keeps looking.
“I know it sounds crazy. I can’t prove to you that it is true. I can’t prove to you that Amberline Darko is still alive. I’d like to find her but I have no idea how to even begin looking.”
“You need to talk to Dirk.”
“How can I tell him this stuff? His reaction would be even worse than your reaction. I know how this sounds. It is not like I know any magic that I can do to prove that I am a witch.”
“If witches are real and in my mind that is still a big question mark, you need to find one who will help you craft your skill.”
Billy laughs. “Okay. Let me see if I can write my Craigslist ad.” Billy rolls his eyes. “How would I find a witch?”
“You said Kane Bishop is still alive.”
“I don’t think he knows any more about his abilities than I do.”
Steve shakes his head. “I have no idea what to tell you.”
Without knocking first, Steve’s mother, Linda Webster opens the door and comes into Steve’s Apartment. She stares at Billy and Steve sitting on the couch. “I hope I didn’t interrupt anything.”
Billy realizes he had not put his pants back on. Billy looks down at his underwear. “Oh, no. I was showing Steve a birthmark. This is not what it might look like.”
Linda walks over. “What birthmark?”
Billy stands up and shows Linda the dagger shaped birthmark. She stares at the birthmark and then reaches down and touches it. Her eyes widen as she looks at Billy’s face as though this is the first time she has really looked at him. Her mouth opens as if she is in a momentary stupor. “I don’t understand.” She glances down at her son still sitting on the couch. She shakes her head and moves her hand back away from Billy’s inner thigh and takes a step back. “How are you related to Amberline Darko?”
“Do you know where she is?”
Linda looks away from Billy. She wants to change the subject. She pulls a usb flash drive out of her pocket. “Steve, can you download the pictures that you took at the Ward place to the flash drive for me.”
Steve stands up. “Sure.” Steve takes the drive and walks over to his computer desk.
Linda looks back at Billy. “You don’t think Amberline is dead?” Linda considers she is getting herself in a conversation she does not want to have. She doesn’t want to regret the words she might speak in this conversation.
“When I was in New York I was drown. My death did not stick. Kane Bishop has told me some things. If what I have been told is true, Amberline could not have died in childbirth. I mean to say that if she died, it would not have stuck.”
Steve turns around and looks at his mother. “It sounds crazy. Doesn’t it?” His mother does not answer. Steve repeats, “Doesn’t it?”
“Amberline was my friend.”
“Was? Unless someone has burned her into ashes or cut her head off, then she isn’t dead.”
Linda grimaces at Billy’s words. There is a quietness and a sound of regret in her voice. Linda looks lovingly at Steve sitting at the computer desk miffed that she doesn’t answer him and then with great sadness and a look of compassion she tells Billy, “Amberline is my friend.”
“So you know that she didn’t die in childbirth? You know her child couldn’t have died so easily.” Billy’s words sound more accusatory than he intends.
Linda closes her eyes. “Dirk is not a witch. Amberline had no reason to believe what you are suggesting.”
“She didn’t know. Wait. So is it possible that I am wrong in thinking what I am thinking.”
“I am not sure what to tell you. Just from your face, I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me to wonder, but I didn’t. I never thought you might be Amberline’s son. Now you’ve showed me your birthmark and I guess the birthmark and the fact that your death in New York didn’t stick says it all.”
“Not quite all. I am not the son of David Jenkins. I have the wrong blood type.”
Linda nods. “Amberline and Frank Bingo had an affair. I would guess Frank is your father.”
“Did father know that Amberline is a witch?”
“No. She never told him. After she died in childbirth and of course came back she decided it best if she took a new identity. She shapeshifted to become …” Linda looks over at Steve. She looks at Billy. “Besides shapeshifting she uses a spell that makes it easier to pretend to be this new person. When she is under her own spell she doesn’t remember being Amberline. It is sort of like having a split personality. Jackie doesn’t always know that she is Amberline.”
“Jackie!” Billy’s mouth falls open in horror. “I’ve had sex with my own mother.”
