You Dirty Rat part (3 of 7)

What lies he was spreading oh so too quickly that his poor misguided wife was a former girlfriend to a prominent member of the mafia.

Boyfriend hah ! He was a very distant cousin and a friend of one of her closest girlfriends Annie, who kept him a secret from her parents.

His family may have been mafia but he was not a member and did not like that sort of life. The members of his family left him to tend his flower shop and did not ask him to participate in any of their activities.

The flower shop is where he met Annie and they fell in love.

Now, her parents, brother, Annie and her cousin would all be upset about her "death". She had to make a plan to let a few people know that she was not dead. They would all help her figure out a way to make the dirty dirty rotten husband confess to his actions against her.

She thought out her plan well even writing it out on paper.

She knew who she would contact to let them know she was not dead. Then the actual plan would be ever so sweet but not immoral or illegal.

Tomorrow she would contact cousin Anthony and have him deliver flowers. She finally fell into a deep restful sleep listening to Willy Nelson singing “Valentine.”

Next morning she woke up very hungry and ate a huge breakfast. She then went back up to the attic and collected

some of her Grannies clothes and a large purse. Down in the old pantry was a fold-able utility cart, now with the gray wig she was Grannie! Off she toddled, because of the stuffing she put in her 3 pairs of socks she wore. Virginia went immediately to a pay phone near the flower shop & made the call. Trying to disguise her voice she spoke to Annie.

When she found out that Annie was there alone she said I have info about your friends death please let me in the back entrance then she toddled of to the shop.

Annie peeking out the peek hole saw that it was a little old lady so she let her inside. Virginia ripped off the fake glasses and the wig and stood there in front of her dear friend

who was laughing and crying at the same time. Virginia cautioned silence when she heard the shop door open but was so happy it was Anthony.

Anthony went back and locked the door and set the closed sign outward. The trio went into the private office where Virginia told them the whole sordid story. The three decided Virginia’s plan would work and that there would be a large flower delivery that day to the front door of her parents house. The trio then would meet in the old servants residence and start the plan.
