If I recall correctly, a straight line is not always the way between two points in this story........if you catch my drift. It's an adventure, right? And fiction to boot, so let's just see what's in store for our Boys, eh??

FIFTY-FIRST INSTALLMENT You lead George to yet another café where you buy him a cup of tea, sit him down and go through the ceremony of working him up and then showing him the wad of cash. He nearly goes through the roof with excitement, spilling tea everywhere and talking at 90 miles an hour. So much for the quiet one. He doesn?t even remember to ask where the money came from. He?s getting funny looks from other people so you usher him back out onto the street. When he calms down he looks at his watch. ?Paul! We are gonna get caned, we?re so late. Come on,? he says, forgetting that Paul hasn?t been to school in over a week. To your and John?s surprise Paul follows George as he runs away down the road and disappears. You look at John. John looks at you. He shrugs. ?Looks like it?s just you and me, kid,? he says. Ah. ?Those bloody college puddin?s. I knew Paul would be back there to grovel in no time.? He turns and begins to walk in the other direction. You scurry after him. ?Er, where are you going?? you ask him. ?Dunno,? he shrugs. ?We could go to a club later on if you?re game. Right now I just need a fag. Coming?? You don?t have much choice, and besides, this is your chance to get to know the great John Lennon. You walk for a bit till he finds a spot to have his fag. He sits on a low stone wall with a good view of people going by. Pulling a packet out of a pocket, he offers you a smoke. You decline and he shrugs and lights his own. Exhaling, he tells you ?That?s the Adelphi Hotel, where all the posh twits go to cheat on their spouses. There?s enough dough in there to get Speke through the winter.? ?Sounds like you need a Robin Hood, a real working class hero,? you say sarcastically. ?Ah well, something will happen,? he replies, absentmindedly taking a drag on his ciggy. ?Yeah? You really think so?? you enquire. He?s got your attention now. ?I reckon. You should know anyway, right?? ?Nah, I don?t know much about Liverpool. I did read a book once about a lady who grew up here. After almost freezing to death in the 60s she moved to New Zealand in 1972. I guess she wasn?t a patron,? you say, indicating the hotel. After a few more puffs he looks at you, or rather sort of through you , like he can read your mind with his eyes. ?You can?t fool John Lennon,? he says. ?You know something about one of us. Me or Paul or George. Don?t try denying it because I know you do. Something about our future. You wouldn?t be here if you didn?t.? ?Come off it,? you say nervously. ?That?s rubbish.? ?I?ve been watching you. You recognise things you shouldn?t if you don?t know anything about Liverpool like you say. That?s how I know something happens. Something big. You can tell me, I won?t spill,? he coaxes. You pause and take a few deep breaths. ?All I can tell you,? you begin. He shifts his position to face you. ?is that you should find something you enjoy, something you?re good at, and stick to it no matter what.? ?Aw, that?s a load of bollocks! You just said nothing at all! Come on, now you can?t pretend you?ve got noting to tell me. You have to tell me what happens to me in the future.? ?No, I mean it. I?m telling you, don?t do what other people tell you. Just do what you want. You don?t have to get a trade like everyone else. Just please don?t ask for more than that. I can tell you you?re right, something will happen. Just keep this to yourself okay?? you?ve said more than you ever wanted to. He hangs his head. ?Yeah, alright then.? He raises it to look at you again. ?I knew it anyway, that something big would come up. Just a feeling, you know.? He jumps off the wall and stamps out his cigarette butt. ?Well where to now?? you ask him. He crosses his eyes and points in two directions. ?Where do you usually go on a Monday morning?? you ask. ?I?m not taking you to art school. Everyone?ll think I?m a sissy. I think there?s a fair on around here somewhere. If we go there you have to hang off me arm and pretend to be me bird, okay? Never mind our Paul.? ?What about our Paul?? you ask innocently. He glares at you. ?Alright, sounds fun. Will you win a prize for me?? ?I?ll do better. I?ll nick one for you,? he says as he holds out his arm. You put yours in his and head off down the street together.
