Johnny Durham has had quite the roller coaster ride. Just twenty four months ago he was performing comedy in crappy roadhouses, driving all night to get the next less than ideal gig. Now, he sold out theaters and traveled in a $850,000 tour buses and $10,000,000 private jets.
Johnny's manager was his sister, Tess. Tess had a degree in business management, she was well organized and one of his favorite people on earth. They had always been close. In fact, they were sexually involved for nearly four years in their early twenties.
Tess loved working for her brother. The money was good, the traveling was fun and it was relatively easy work. She still had resentment for her brother for calling off their sexual encounters now some six years ago.
One day, when it was just those two and the pilots on Johnny's jet on a flight from Minneapolis to Glen Falls, NY, Tess had to know.
"Johnny, why'd we quit having sex?"
Johnny didn't even look up from his iPad and responded.
"Come on, Tess. Don't bring that up."
"No I'm serious, why? You just stopped. You started shutting me down. Why, Johnny?
Johnny was silent.
"It was me. Wasn't it? It had to be something to do with me."
Again, Johnny said nothing.
That night Johnny performed in front of nearly 5,000 fans in Glens Falls, NY. As he boarded his bus on his way to University Park, PA, he noticed his sister was already asleep in her bunk. He walked passed her and headed to his state room in the rear of the coach. As the bus got underway, he couldn't resist returning to his sister.
