chapter 15
Jonny woke up Friday morning to Jay Jay’s booming voice coming through his clock radio. “That’s why Loud Mike and I are going to Light’s On to stock up on flashlights. They’ve got big flashlights, small flashlights and even some flashlights in between.”
“You can never have too many flashlights,” Loud Mike agreed.
“That’s for sure. It’s a bright idea! So get to Light’s On, off I-95 and Stirling Road in Hollywood!”
Jonny smiled. Jay Jay, given the financials, suddenly realized that flashlights were a wise product. The power of the almighty dollar.
Things were starting to fall into place. He gave Heather the overnight shift tonight from two a.m. to six a.m. It actually worked out to his benefit. The guy who was supposed to be on had a last minute emergency. Jonny figured it was probably a hot date, but it gave him an excuse to put Heather on the air. She was thrilled at the opportunity and made no secret of how she would thank him. Jonny knew she was dangerous, getting too close, too fast. He realized he had to cool it off.
He had no intention of getting a divorce.
He rolled over in the bed taking advantage of the extra space. Jill left early to go to work. The Miami Motors campaign she was working on was taking up a lot of her time. The owners wanted to coordinate the print ad with the radio ad, so today she was meeting with sales guy, Nick Coleman. Jonny felt sorry for her.
He decided to sleep in a bit today, maybe then he could avoid Heather. Seeing her complicated things. So Jonny set his alarm for noon, rolled back over and went to sleep.
