End of Days just occured - Eagles won the SB and ledgers are lopsided the wrong way. They laid off NOTHING.

So the bookie is hustling in overtime - all day today - collecting outstanding debts and buying a few days time from clients hungry for payout ...( there will be no payout for anyone )

Still not much danger tomorrow afternoon comes, maybe it would start to get hot by Wednesday - but by then the phone call had already been made, he only had one number in the phone: JJGOLD

** phone rings **

JJGOLD: Whoa, the bat phone ... this better be what I think it is...
Bookie: Yeah hi JJ, it's me ... it's time.
JJGOLD: And so it is, pal. One question: did you pack a bag? Are you ready to go - NOW?
Bookie: Yes.
JJGOLD: Okay good - listen to me very carefully and do as I say, you only get one shot at this.
Bookie: okay...
JJGOLD: There's a Popeye's on Walnut and South 48th. Go there and don't sit by the window. Be there in ONE HOUR.
Bookie: Hey - one hour? I can't -
JJGOLD: I SAID ONE HOUR! Or I don't send the van.
Bookie: Okay, Popeye's on Walnut and South 48th. One hour. I got it coach.
JJGOLD: Don't fuk me here, pal. I'm going out on a limb for you.
Bookie: I know, I know. Thank you.
JJGOLD: And don't forget to throw your phone in a sewer. One hour.

Celebrations everywhere in Philly this week, but for a special few it's like they're evacuating Saigon all over again.
