Story and Art by: Gail Nobles ©️2024
When it was time for Monty to be released from the hospital, Priscilla was there to help him. Monty got a phone call from Jet Jay Boston that his house windows and things in his home were broken. Both Monty and Priscilla knew right away that Rob Spencer had something to do with it. Jay had told both Monty and Priscilla to get out of town over the phone. Monty put his phone on the speaker shaking like a leaf.
Jay: Priscilla, take Monty and get out of town. It’s not safe for either of you to be here. When Rob and those men get out of jail, they will be coming for Monty again. They got some more crew looking for Monty. And you have done right not to sing again. Since your records have been played, he wants Monty to continue and make him money.
Monty: And I won’t do it. That Piece of ..
Jay: Rob is crazy. Now he wants to use Monty and take over everything. He’s a mobster. Get out of town because he’ll be after you too Priscilla.
Priscilla: When I was with him, he didn’t want me or my music.
Jay: Now he see that you are bigger than you ever were before. You were big all the time. Rob didn’t know what he had. He just wasn’t doing things right. It wasn’t that the fans didn’t love you. You gained some new fans today. Now get moving girl and be safe.
Priscilla took Monty back to the rural area with her worried about where he was going to stay. She didn’t want him to stay with her. Being hurt by men, she trusted no man, and was content living alone. Priscilla didn’t have to ask Monty where he was going to stay. He told her that he could stay in a hotel.
Months went by. Monty kept in touch with Jay Jet Boston. He mailed him the keys to his radio station to become the disc jockey in his place while he was gone. But Monty became depressed and scared about his life. He felt alone and was used to being in his own town at his own home with a job. But he was blessed to have Jet Boston as a friend. He cleaned up Monty’s house and replaced all the broken windows.
Priscilla and Monty didn’t speak much with eachother. Priscilla got lost in her music. After a while, she thought about Monty. She gave him a call, but Monty wasn’t half speaking. Priscilla finally went to visit Monty at the hotel. When she got there, he was sick and trying to leave the hotel. Priscilla wanted to know how he was feeling.
Monty: I’ve got to leave here. This hotel is about to take all of my cash. I’ve got to go back home. Monty picked up a cup of tea. He was shaking.
Priscilla began to worry again. She said: If you go back, those guys will kill you. I guess I’ll have to be the one to take you in for a while. Come and go with me.
So Priscilla drove Monty to her place, but she had to stop a couple of times along the way. Monty was very sick. While driving, Jet Boston was talking to Rita King on the radio. Priscilla turned up the volume. Miss Rita had been drinking and angry at Rob Spencer. She was under the same record label as Priscilla.
She yelled out (Rita): Priscilla, wherever you are. We want tou back at The Buzz AMB. That man’s a goodly man. He got my records played.
Jay: We’ll be back with more Rita King right after these messages.
Priscilla kept the words of Miss Rita on her mind: That man’s a goodly man.
When Priscilla got Monty to her house, she pulled down some stairs from her ceiling. She let Monty sleep in her attic. She chose the attic just in case she was found by Rob Spencer. The pull down stairs were not noticable. It was like a trick to the eyes.
Staying with Priscilla, Monty had doctor visits. After being hit in the head by Rob Spencer, he would sometimes have dizzy spells, and he had a muscle injury after a blow to the stomach.
Priscilla fed Monty and took care of him, and Monty would help Priscilla. They learned more about each other.Priscilla saw that Monty was a lot like her. They became close knit friends, and the attic became a love nest. It was a place where they would talk and hold each other.
