Ask Wall–E

If walls could talk. Hey! If I told you everything that happened here in this room, would you stop what you’re doing to listen to my stories? From the time this Motel opened in 1876 to the present. Do you think you’d have the time for me? If so, terrific! The things I have seen over time could knock the socks right off your feet. Oh, my name is Wall -E. I reside in Motel 90. If you think that I’m human; guess again. I’m a talking wall who resides in room 262. I have heard everything imaginable over the years.

The energy levels go from negative to positive quickly. There was a fair amount of bad people vs. good people who stayed in my room. Oh, and the conversations; were unbelievable. There were many plots by cowboy bank robbers, mobsters, serial killers, cheaters, and lovers. I love being a wall.

The best part of being a wall is that humans don’t realize that walls have ears and a mouth. If given a chance to spill out juicy gossip to anyone who wants to listen, I’m your wall.

So, where do I begin? It all started when Motel 90 had its first grand opening to the public in the year 1876. There were all kinds of people coming in and out of my room. The owner announced at the grand opening that there will be lovely girls living in Motel 90. Well… take a guess what happened next. If you guessed a lot of guys started showing up, you guessed right. I can’t speak for any of the other rooms, but my room was and still is active; especially when nature calls for duty.

On a quiet evening, a beautiful redhead lived in my room. She called herself Scarlett. She had the most beautiful red hair and always smelled like strawberries and champagne. She was lying in bed reading her bible when her door flung open; almost came off the hinges. Scarlett jumped out of her skin with fright. She was not expecting anyone to come to see her at this dreadful hour. A cowboy entered; not saying much as he approached her. He jumped on the bed next to her and he talked in his southern drawl.

The cowboy started the conversation by asking a question. “Hey, have you seen any of my boys?” Scarlett replied. “No, I haven’t. I’ve been here in my room all day. Why?” The cowboy replied. “Well… me and the boys were supposed to meet up over by the Saloon across the street. I was there and nobody showed up. We had a meeting. Did you hear anything through the grapevine?” Scarlett answered. “No, heard nothing.”

The cowboy moved closer to Scarlett, reached for her waist, and yanked her to him hard. Scarlett’s cry rang out into the silence of the room. The cowboy asked again. “Are you sure, you heard nothing from the grapevine?” Scarlett’s reply is clearer and more direct. “No, Matt! Nothing!” The cowboy shook his head in a yes motion and spoke. “Ok.”

Matt the cowboy left it at that. But he filled Scarlett in on what the gang plans on doing in the two or three weeks. He and the boys are planning on robbing the Financial One Bank. The bank is supposed to get a shipment of the greenback and gold bars delivered to them as a deposit from a very wealthy man. His name is Mr. Cummings. He created his wealth on guns and rifles. He would sell his guns and rifles to everyone he met on the street, just to make money.

This meeting that was supposed to take place but didn’t was especially important. Matt asked Scarlett for a favor. “Can you do a little snooping around at the Saloon tomorrow? Scarlett replied. "Sure, but it will cost you, Matt." Scarlett gave Matt a playful smirk. Matt caught on to her quickly, then he had a good hold of her in bed and devoured all her beauty.

The next morning, Scarlett woke up and found Matt getting dressed. She asked him. “Are you always an early riser Matt?” Matt replied. “Not always, but I heard some commotion during the night, and I saw two of my boys stinking drunk. They walked to the other Motel across the street. I figured maybe I will head over there and find out what happened to them yesterday. Meanwhile, Scarlett try to snoop out some information from the Saloon later today. Ok.” Scarlett answered. “Ok, I will try. And be careful when you’re out there with the boys.” Matt walked over to Scarlett with a smile and kissed her cheek, nodding with approval in response.

Scarlett pulled the covers over her head and Matt finished belting his gun belt, and was ready to head out to see his boys. Matt is careful not to be seen. Looking over his shoulders, across the street, and on top of the roofs. Sensing that everything is clear to him to run quickly and quietly over to Motel 60. Matt made it over there, walked in asked the guy at the front what room two drunk guys were in. The guy at the front desk didn’t hesitate in answering. He gave out that information: Matt tipped his hat and thanked him.

Matt ran quickly up the stairs; found the room number and banged on the door. Matt waited a good fifteen minutes, but no one came to the door. Matt tried the doorknob, but he realized the door is already open. Matt made a quick decision to rush right on in. He found both of his boys out cold on the floor. He checked for a pulse, and they were still breathing. Matt went over to one of them to wake him up. When he groaned with pain and tried to sit up; Matt walked over to the other guy and did the same thing.

Matt asked his friend who is coming too. “Ben… Ben… What happened?” Ben replied. “I don’t know exactly. But I think someone was hiding somewhere in this room waiting for us to enter; then wham! Right on the head is all I remember.” Matt continued. “Tom… What happened?” Tom replied slowly. “You wouldn’t believe it if I told you. It was Tony from the Yang gang. He was hiding in the bathroom. When I opened the door, he suckered punched me in the face, then took the vase and hit me in the head with it.” Matt replied. "Tony from the Yang gang. Isn’t he from five towns away? Both men nodded simultaneously."

Both Tom and Ben slowly picked themselves up off the floor; dusted themselves off and then checked their pockets. To their surprise, Tony made off with what they had in their pockets. They had papers of their mapped-out plans for the bank heist they were going to do within the next two or three weeks. Matt asked. "What happened to Ralph and Rusty? Also, what happened to the meeting we had planned on?"

Tom explained. “Well… we were all together at the Saloon waiting for you Matt. We were at the Saloon for a good twenty minutes. Ralph and Rusty drank while waiting. I told them not to, but you know how they get. Stubborn mules. Rusty was so drunk he started a small fight with the bartender which led him to call the Sheriff of this town.” Matt was in complete shock. Tom continued. “Don’t worry, the Sheriff didn’t notice who we were; be thankful. But both landed themselves in jail for drunken restlessness and disturbing the peace.” Matt nodded in disbelief and replied. “Now what? What are we going to do about Tony?”

Ben answered. “Relax man, Me and Tom were planning on visiting them first. You know scoping out the jail. As far as Tony, I’m guessing he must have found out what we’re up to on the bank heist because they took everything we had jotted down.” Tom added. “I wouldn’t worry about Tony right now. The problem is the two idiots who landed in jail. We got to get them out.”

Matt concluded. "Nodding his head with approval. Ok, meet me in Scarlett’s room. She is staying at Motel 90; one block from here. Be there by 1 pm sharp. We need to go over things again. I will check out the jail and let you know soon."

Matt went over to Scarlett’s room at exactly ten minutes to one. Ben and Tom were there ready this time. Matt told them he went over to the jail to visit the other two. Matt continued. “Yeah, your right, the Sheriff doesn’t seem to recognize us, but he can play stupid too. I would be very mindful and watchful. He may have some tricks up his sleeves. I asked the Sheriff if there was any bond money that I can pay to get them out.” The Sheriff said. “Yeah, but it would have to wait until the judge arrives in two days.”

Matt said. “We are kind of stuck right now with them being in jail. Our plans are going to have to wait until the judge sets a bond in two days. Meanwhile, let’s go over our plans of what we are going to do, but first, we need to figure out what Tony from the Yang Gang is up to and why?” Both Tom and Ben agreed with Matt.

Wall-E continued by saying: To make a long story shorter. The bank heist gang waited two days to see the judge pay the bond amount of their friends as planned. When they showed up, they were in for a shocking surprise. The Sheriff, the Judge, and Tony with his entire gang were there with huge smiles on their faces.

The judge didn’t allow anyone to say one word. He went on with his conversation with the guys explaining to them how wrong it is to be reckless, causing commotion and conducting disorderly behavior in a Saloon. But he also mentioned to the guys indirectly that he knew who they were and what they were up to, with the help of Tony.

But the judge turned to Tony and his gang to continue to say. “Not so fast, boys.” He gave the Sheriff the look to signal his men to block all the exits. The judge continued. "I know who you are too. We all have been waiting for all of you to do something crazy. But you became tattletale kids. This worked out in favor of the law and justice."

I’m sorry boys but I have to put all of you in jail. Matt, Tom, and Ben laughed at Tony. Ben asked the judge if he could say something. The judge answered. “Sure but make it quick.” Ben turned to Tony to say. “Gee… Thanks, tattletale Tony. You tried to foil our plans, but it looks like you’re going into the pokey too. You should feel good right now uh. Guess now who is smiling Tony.” Tony gave a dirty look to Ben and his gang then turned to shrug his shoulders to his gang members saying. "He didn’t know that it would have backfired like this on them." The Sheriff and his deputies escorted them all to separate cells. The judge sentenced them all to be moved to a bigger jailhouse. From there, they will wait for their turn for a trial and hearing for their crimes. Sad to say, Tony and his gang were all hanged. They sentenced Matt and his friends to community service until it rehabilitated them all from doing any more harm.

Wall–E asked. "Would you like to hear another story? I can tell you a true triangle that ends up bloody. Do you have time? I will make this story rather short, sweet, and horrifying." In the year 1905. There was a young couple who stayed in my room. They were vacationing here for a few weeks. They would have a private party with just them. Talking to each other, using provocative choice words; going back and forth until you heard sounds of wailing pleasure. They seemed like they were in love with each other. I’m not sure but I don’t think they were married. Maybe seeing each other, like lovers, sneaking off somewhere so people won’t know what they are doing.

In one conversation, it was late; they were up arguing; the next morning they had to check out. The young lady wanted to stay in town to make a new life for herself with him. He couldn’t do that because he was already spoken for by someone else. The arguing went on and on. No one got any sleep, including me and I’m a wall, right?

Well… finally, they both agreed that they would make plans now to continue to see each other. Yeah, this took place several times during the year. But around Christmas time; the young couple planned on staying for a week for the holidays. The young man told his girlfriend to stay in the room. He wanted to do a little Christmas shopping. She agreed with a smile.

But as soon as he left the room. The girlfriend made a phone call to his Fiancé; her name is Greta. She told Greta where they were and begged her to come quickly. Greta flagged down the next available buggy and was on her way. Greta made her way to Motel 90 with good timing.

Jolie couldn’t conceal her excitement to see Greta. Jolie took off her peacoat, threw her arms around her, and squeezed tightly. Both girls threw themselves on the bed to discuss their plans. Every ten to fifteen minutes, Jolie kept looking out the window. Looking for Greta’s Fiancé William. They needed to go over their plot quickly before William returns from shopping.

Half an hour later, Jolie spots William crossing the street; with a shriek, she announced to Greta that William is coming. They scrambled to find a hiding place for Greta. They chose a nearby closet that had enough clothes in it for Greta to hide behind. Greta took hold of her bag before she went into the closet; took out two long, shiny, very sharp knives. Greta handed one knife to Jolie. Greta had her knife ready in her hand and at her side. Jolie put her knife under the mattress with the handle sticking out slightly.

Jolie grabbed a book, and placed herself on the bed in a relaxing position, waiting for William. Finally, a small knock on the door. Jolie got up to answer the door. William patiently waits to be let in. Jolie opened the door with a smile. William walked in, kicked off his shoes, and hopped on the bed. Jolie hopped on the bed next to him.

Jolie asked William. “What do you want to do now?” William paused for a few minutes. “I don’t know. What do you want to do? I mean, all there is… is a book; to entertain ourselves and talking.” Jolie replied. “Well… I have an idea.” Jolie nibbled on his ear. From there she kissed his jawline until she reached his lips. As they were getting into it, Greta watched them intently and on cue, she undressed until she is naked.

Jolie picked her head up from an enthusiastic kiss, looked at William, and filled him in on a surprise she had waiting for him. William looked at Jolie with eyes of lust and smiled at the thought of an early Christmas present. Jolie propped herself up on the bed, and turned to look to see if Greta was ready. Jolie gave her the signal to make herself present in front of William.

When he saw Greta, completely naked. His emotions rang out with astonishment. He felt confused and excited to see Greta. William replied. “Hi Greta, what are you doing here? Do you and Jolie know each other? Why are you naked?” Greta replied with a smile. I didn’t know that you knew Jolie. So, I guess you seeing Jolie behind my back means you’re cheating on me uh? William had no answer to give. He was feeling guilty about his affair with Jolie.

However, Jolie didn’t seem to care because she has been hiding a secret from William. Greta signaled to Jolie to tell William the truth. Jolie was delighted to break the news. Jolie said. “I have a confession, William. I’ve been hiding something from you for months now. I called Greta while you were gone and told her where we were. Greta and I think it’s time to tell you, our secret.” Jolie moved closer to him on the bed; bending down to taste his lips while Greta quickly slipped her knife under the mattress with the handle sticking out slightly; then hopped on the bed from the other side of William to join in on the fun.

As Greta moved closer, Jolie came up for air after she finished her kiss. Jolie continued to say. “You see… Greta and I are not just friends. We are lovers William. We are in an open relationship. Both of us like sharing each other’s boy toys. I hope you’re not mad?” William replied. “Mad! I’m confused. I’m not sure how to feel right now. Maybe we shouldn’t do this?” Greta replied. “Why? All we want is to have some fun. You’re not interested in both of us.” William replied. “I’m not sure honestly if I want this. This doesn’t feel right.” Jolie chimed. “Really… you know you like sex. That’s all it is. Two of us and you. You sound like you’re running scared. Don’t be, relax and enjoy what is coming. I promise you will enjoy what we have in store.”

Greta turned to Jolie to say. “It’s my turn.” Greta moved closer; bent down to give William a kiss, while Jolie started working down his chest. Giving him gentle kisses to a certain point. William tried to get Greta to move off him, but she knocked him back down on the bed. William kept trying to get up from a lying down position but his attempt failed. Both girls really were taking sex to a whole new level at this point. As they were getting into their sexual activity; Greta nodded to Jolie about her next step.

As Greta took control of her part; Jolie went for her surprise gift for William. Jolie like a flash of lightning grabbed the knife and penetrated through William’s neck. Blood squirted all over Jolie, the wall, and the upper portion of the bed. Then Greta grabbed her knife and went for his upper torso, mainly his chest. Both girls took turns stabbing William. It turned into a stabbing frenzy. When they were done, you can feel the satisfaction energy that they did a job well done.

Both girls cleaned up well, got dressed, and left William naked, dead on the bed. I don’t know what happened to them. But it seems like they took off without a trace. The police found William's lifeless body right where the girls left him, on the bed. The police did everything they could to find out who murdered him. There were no leads anywhere to be found. Greta and Jolie took off into the sunset without the police ever finding out. The perfect murder.
