On the way back to San Diego Archie laid out the plan to get Maria out of this mess she was in.
He said “What this is all
about is there are some people who want your establishment and will stop at
nothing to get it. It is primarily the
location they want because of the proximity to the naval base.
They have trumped up this
charge in order to get you to sell and the judge and the D.A. are part of the
reason you have been charged for they are in on it.
But it goes all the way back
east to where the money people are. When
you go to jail they will force your aunt to sell out cheaply, and with you out
of the picture they will have a free hand.
Now this is the way we are
going to handle this and get you out of this mess.
As soon as we get to San
Diego I will draw up papers where I will buy you out and I will be the new
owner of the club.
With you out of the picture
they will have to deal with me and this is where we will be able to solve all
the problems.”
As soon as it was known that
Archie was the new owner of the bordello and that he was going to tear it down,
and put a day care center in its place he was immediately contacted be the
people who wanted the bordello and they were ready to deal.
Archie laid out the deal and
it was a “Take it or leave it,” transaction, because the bull dozers were
waiting for the okay to start the demolition.
Seeing the dozers on site
caused the buyers to agree quickly to all the stipulations.
I will accept one million dollars
in cash; all charges to be dropped against Maria and no further harassment
against Maria or her aunt.
Archie specified how he was to be paid and as soon as all criminal charges were dropped they had a deal.
Archie had to smile when the
lawyers for the buyers said, "This looks like a win - win situation for
everyone."
Archie set up a trust for Maria’s
Aunt and placed nine hundred thousand in her account to be managed by the
bank's trust department.
Then he gave
one hundred thousand to Maria for her work at the Bordello.
Maria wanted to know how much
Archie's fee was going to be and he said “Nothing; I enjoyed doing it for you.”
She asked him, “What is next
for you?” He said, “Its back to Monterey
and relaxation. What about you?”
She said, “Well I was
wondering if you had any of those brochures around for I was thinking about
taking a trip or maybe a honeymoon, if I was asked to marry someone. How does that sound to you?”
All Archie could think about
was those two divorce decrees hanging on his wall.
He said, “I'm really tempted,
but you know I have failed in two tries at matrimony, and I just don't know about
having a go at a third time.”

She said have you ever heard,
“The third time is a charm?”
He paused thoughtfully and
then said - -
“You know, you are right; the third time will be a charm.”
- - And it was !!
