The colored strobes magnified the bass beat of the house mixed dance music. Lively party girls in various phases of sweaty undress bounced in time to the music. Many patrons were dancing on the scattered parquet squares. Others were lounging in cushioned sofas arranged in intimate clusters. Scantily clad waitresses carrying drink trays navigated the furniture obstacle course, dodging tipsy patrons and their sneaky breast and ass grabs.
Fernando was ensconced in a sofa with a girl he had been chatting up. She was a knockout little blonde who played tongue tag with Fernando between sips of alcohol. They were also exchanging not-so-furtive groin and tit caresses.
It was 4 AM and the club was closing. Fernando wanted to continue their one-on-one party in his limousine. He signaled his bodyguard/driver to get ready to go. The man settled the bar tab and stood politely by as Fernando negotiated the price with the blonde. In agreement on compensation, they exited the noisy and degenerating atmosphere. The blonde strutted beside Fernando on her stilettos. They rounded the corner to the empty parking space. Fernando stopped short.
"What the FUCK! Where's my car?!" The bodyguard was already on his cell to 911.
"I want to report a car theft."
The tinny voice at the police center asked "Where was it located?"
The bodyguard gave the address on South Collins Avenue, South Beach, Miami.
"Do you have the make, model and license plate number?"
The bodyguard described the car and the plate number.
"Please hold...sir, according to my log, the car was not stolen...it was towed. It was parked in an illegal spot for that day and time. Look around for the No Parking signs. There will be a towing company name and telephone number. You can pay the parking fine and towing fee together at their yard when you retrieve your car. Good night, sir."
The bodyguard explained the circumstances to Fernando.
"Well, dammit!"
Fernando stood over the blonde as he explained.
"Okay, honey, looks like the night is over for both of us. Here's some cash for your trouble. I have to go get my car."
"Hey! What the FUCK! $100!? We agreed $500 for a long, slow blowjob."
"Well, I didn't get a blowjob, did I!" shouted an agitated Fernando. The blonde stood her ground.
"No problem. Plop your ass down on that curb and I'll do you right here. Deal's a deal, mister."
"Scoot, hon. Take a hike; we're done here."
The blonde strutted away. She was loudly muttering about deal breakers and meeding to find a new career.
Fernando found the No Parking sign and took a cell picture. It had the no-parking times listed and the designated towing company: Total Integrity Towing Services. Fernando called the number and got a recording.
'You have reached Total Integrity Towing Services. If you are calling to retrieve a towed vehicle, our yard is at 26th and Washington in South Beach. Our yard is open from 7 AM to 7 PM. The standard towing fee is $250 plus City of South Beach parking fines of $100. After 48 hours, the storage fee is $100 per 24 hours per vehicle, not prorated. We do not accept checks, credit cards or debit cards; bring cash. If these fees seem excessive, sit on it and rotate until you learn to pay attention to No Parking signs. Leave any message after the beep; we will return polite messages. Rude comments are ignored. However, you are welcome to come by and repeat those statements to our Doberman yard dogs. Have a nice day. Beeeep...'
Fernando hung up and checked his wallet. He was short the cash fees required. He and his bodyguard started walking toward the Total Integrity Towing Services address. There should be an ATM along the way.
After they rounded the corner, a man wearing a city public works uniform removed the transitory No Parking sign and carried it away. This was the quickest $500 bucks he had ever made. And that blonde had given him a really, really good blowjob. Too bad for Fernando that he had turned her down.
And so the trap was set...
-----------------------------------------------
Fernando entered the Total Integrity Towing Service client reception area at exactly 7 AM. He saw his limo in the fenced storage yard with its front wheel booted. The reception area was sparse, a couple uncomfortable looking wooden chairs. Fernando figured that was on purpose; fewer missiles for angry drunks to toss around in a fit of wheels-challenged rage.
The receptionist sat on a tall stool behind a mesh reinforced plexi-glass partition. Her bright white teeshirt was stretch firm across her large round breasts. Silk screened red letters emblazoned the mounds on her chest: T.I.T.S.
Fernando thought that was pretty obvious. He wondered what else was labeled in the office, maybe C.O.F.F.E.E...P.O.T or D.O.N.U.T.S. Then he realized she wore the company logo: T...otal... I...ntegrity... T...owing... S...ervices.
Fernando stepped up to the thick window barrier. It was probably bullet resistant.
"I want to retrieve my car."
"Sure thing, mister. Which one?"
"Huh...the only one in the lot?"
"Oh...I guess you mean the black limo. Just a minute while I pull up the DMV record."
As she typed, her breasts jiggled tightly. Fernando was standing close to the glass window and took the opportunity to look her over. She was definitely Cubana. Olive complexion and dark wavy hair set off her smoldering eyes and ruby lips. Snug orange gym-shorts covered her taut ass perched on the tall stool. She wore heels, probably a constant companion, what with her short frame.
"Yep, here we go. Go any ID?"
Fernando slipped his business card through the window tray. It carried his name, address, business telephone and fax numbers, emails and his occupation: IMMIGRATION LAWYER.
"Sir, do you have any official photo ID. You know: a driver's license or passport?"
Fernando put his Driver's License against the glass.
