This Dentist Just Found A Sunken Ship Full Of Gold...But Now...He's Constantly...Looking Over His Shoulder! Part 2.

 THE DENTIST,

DR. HOLLYWOOD SMILES REPORT, WITH HIS 

EXPLORER SELF, IS IN THE WIDE OPEN 

OCEAN, NOT TOO FAR FROM SHORE, 

AND HE FINDS THE WRECKAGE 

OF THE SPANISH SHIP, THE "SIN NOMBRE," 

WHICH SANK

UNPREDICTABLY, BUT FEW PEOPLE KNEW 

THAT IT REALLY CARRIED THE TREASURE 

THAT THE NINA, PINTA, AND SANTA MARIA 

WERE SUPPOSED TO CARRY...IN CASE THE 

PIRATES HIJACKED THE SHIPMENTS!...

BUT ANYWAY, DR. REPORT  FINDS MUCHO LOOTO 

AND GOLD ON THE SHIP AS IT 

RESTS IN PEACE AT THE BOTTOM

OF THE SEA...

AND AS HE INVESTIGATES THE WRECK

HE'S ASTONISHED THAT THERE ARE 'GOODIES' 

ALL 

OVER 

THE PLACE!...

...GOLD AS FAR AS HE CAN SEE!

AND HE TAKES A BIG NUGGET AND 

ONE OF THE PALM-OF-THE-HAND-SIZED COINS

TO PROVE THE FINDING,

SO, YOU KNOW THAT IT'S GOING TO 

ATTRACT SOME ATTENTION!...

OKAY...SO, WHEN HE GETS BACK TO TOWN

HE VISITS A BIG-TIME APPRAISER 

WHO DEALS IN DIAMONDS

AND GOLD...

AND THE APPRAISER ALMOST FALLS 

OUT OF HIS SEAT WHEN DR. REPORT  

SHOWS THE COIN TO HIM!...

"WHERE'D YOU GET THIS?" THE 

STUNNED APPRAISER ASKS...

"OH, IN THE OCEAN...A LITTLE BIT 

OFF THE COAST," THE DOCTOR LETS ON...

"YOU MEAN THERE'S MORE?"

"MUCH MORE...LOTS MORE!...ALL THREE 

FLOORS OF THE SHIP ARE JUST LOADED 

DOWN WITH A WHOLE BUNCH OF BIG BOOTY!...

BUT MOST OF THE HAUL IS PURE...

...RIGHT OUT THE GROUND!...LIKE THIS!" 

SAYS HOLLYWOOD...



"SHEESH!," EXCLAIMS THE APPRISER, "THIS CHUNK, 

AS IS, CAN PAY MY LEASE IN THIS 

BUILDING FOR AT LEAST FOUR YEARS!"

"YEP! AND IT CAN BUY ME A LOT OF HAPPINESS 

WITH THE RIGHT PEOPLE FOR YEARS 

IN ROMANIA AND NORWAY!," COUNTERS HSR...

"WHO DO YOU KNOW IN ROMANIA AND NORWAY?" INQUIRES THE APPRAISER...

"I DON'T KISS AND TELL...ESPECIALLY 

WHEN THE KISSES ARE ULTRA-HONEY 

SWEET!" HE DREAMILY SMILES...

AND THE APPRISER COUNTERS, "I FIND 

THAT THE LADIES FROM ITALY AND 

HUNGARY ARE THE MOST 

ROMANTICALLY MYSTERIOUS...

...THEY MAKE YOU SEVERELY 

ADDICTED TO THEIR LOVE POWERS...

I'LL TELL YOU," HE CONTINUES,

...AS SOON AS THEY 

"LET THE CAT OUT THE BAG"...

...IT'S ALL OVER!"



"WELL, LOOKS LIKE I'LL JUST HAVE TO 

WAIT UNTIL I GO OVER THERE, 

AND FIND OUT FOR MYSELF!" THE DOCTOR SAYS.

"HA HA, YOUNG MAN...WHAT IS YOUR 

NAME," ASKS THE APPRAISER...

HE SAYS, "HOLLYWOOD!"

WELL, MR. HOLLY--WOOD...

I CAN OFFER YOU 3 MILLION DOLLARS 

IN CASH!

RIGHT NOW!...

FOR THE LOCATION WHERE YOU GOT THIS!

THEN THE DOCTOR MAKES SOME 

UNSURE FACES AND SAYS,

"BOY, I AM INCLINED TO SCREAM, "YES!"

" BUT, I CAN'T ACCEPT THAT RIGHT NOW...

...THAT'S WAY TOO MUCH MONEY 

TO HAVE ON THE STREETS

IN THIS CITY!...

...BUT I CAN BREAK OFF A PIECE OF THIS NUGGET AND...

...UMMPH!...HERE!...

MAYBE I CAN

CASH THIS

 IN FOR SOME WALKING AROUND MONEY

WHAT'S THIS WORTH?...EHH?" ASKS HSR...

THE APPRAISER TAKES A LOOK, PLOPS 

SOME CASH ON THE TABLE, AND SAYS..."HERE'S

120 THOUSAND, FOR YOU AND A LITTLE 

BIT OF DOWN PAYMENT FOR THE REST!"

"BUT, WHEN WILL YOU LET ME KNOW, MR. HOLLY--WOOD?"

"I KNOW WHERE YOU ARE NOW,

I'LL GET BACK TO YOU...SOON!" SAYS THE DOC...

"PLEASE DO!...YOU CAN TRUST ME TO DO YOU RIGHT!

"THAT'S GOOD TO HEAR!," SAYS HSR, "OH, CAN I GET THE COIN BACK, NOW?"

"OH EXCUSE ME, SIR...HERE YOU GO!"

"I'LL HOPEFULLY SEE YOU SOON!," PLOTS THE APPRAISER...

"YEAH...SEE YOU SOON..." SAYS HOLLYWOOD...

SO, HE STUFFS THE CASH IN HIS POCKETS, 

ALONG WITHE THE COIN AND THE RAW GOLD

AND...

UPON WALKING OUT OF THE BUILDING'S 

FRONT DOOR, HE SEES A BAR 

ACROSS THE STREET...

AND HE MAKES IT ON OVER...

AND ONCE INSIDE, HE TAKES A SEAT 

AND ORDERS HIS FAVORITE...

ORANGE JUICE WITH HEAVY PULP,

BLENDED WITH ICE AND

TWO CHERRIES ON TOP!

SO,

HSR PAYS WITH A GENEROUS TIP, 

AND TAKES A DEEP SWIG 

OF THE JUICE, AND...

OUT OF THE CORNER OF HIS EYE, 

HE NOTICES THAT

A GUY JUST WALKS IN AND SITS DOWN...

AND HOLLYWOOD THINKS IT'S ONE 

OF THE APPRAISER'S GUYS 

KEEPING A TAIL ON HIM...

SO, THE DENTIST HATCHES A PLAN 

TO LOSE HIM...AND...

HE GOES TO THE MEN'S ROOM

AND SEES A WINDOW THAT'S TOO SMALL

TO CRAWL THROUGH, BUT THAT'S OKAY!...

BECAUSE HE IS MOLECULARLY A 

GASEOUS/PLASMA SILICONE HYBRID!...

A HOMO CYBERGRAPHICUS!...

SO, HE OPENS THE WINDOW JUST 

A BIT, THEN TURNS INTO GASEOUS SMOKE

AND TRAVELS OUT OF THE WINDOW!...AND

JUST SECONDS AFTER THAT

THE GUY FOLLOWING HIM BURSTS 

IN THE BATHROOM TO SEE WHAT'S UP...

BUT DR. REPORT  IS LONG GONE!

SO, 

THE GUY RUNS OUT OF THE BAR LOOKING FOR HIM

BUT HE CAN'T FIND HOLLYWOOD

AND WHILE DR. REPORT IS MAKING 

HIMSELF SCARCE,

HE TURNS BACK INTO A MAN, AND

WHILE HE'S WALKING 

FAST DOWN THE STREET

HE SEES A FRIEND

"HEY, ARE YOU ARCO-IRIS," HOLLYWOOD ASKS, 

"WHAT A SURPRISE!"

"HOW'D YOU KNOW, DOC...I JUST DYED 

MY HAIR, SO PEOPLE WOULDN'T NOTICE ME!" 

SAYS ARCO, "IT'S BEEN, WHAT, TWO YEARS?"

AND HE ASKS, "I WANT TO GO TO YOUR 

PLACE RIGHT NOW...YOU'RE NOT 

TOO FAR, RIGHT?"

"I'M RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER...

...WAIT...YOU KNOW THAT YOU 

OWE ME, HOLLYWOOD!...

...DON'T TELL ME THAT YOU'RE EAGER 

TO LET ME COLLECT...OMG!" LAUGHS ARCO.

SO, THEY GO UP TO HER PLACE AND ONCE 

THEY GET IN THE APARTMENT AND 

CLOSE THE DOOR

ARCO-IRIS GIVES HIM A HOT-CLOSE HUG, 

THEN LOOKS TO HER 

"RHYTHMIC GYMNASIUM,"

THEN LOOKS AT HIM AGAIN...

THEN...




HE SAYS, "I'VE GOT TO TELL YOU SOMETHING!"

"NO...IT'S TIME FOR SOME ACTION! 

LET'S TALK AFTER...IT'S TIME TO RAVISH!"  

SMILES ARCO-IRIS, 

AS SHE PULLS...

"NO, REALLY...HANG ON FOR 

JUST A HOT SECOND," BEGS HOLLYWOOD...

"OKAY, BUT DON'T KEEP ME WAITING! 

IT'S BEEN TWO YEARS!" SAYS ARCO, AS SHE 

FOLDS HER ARMS AND PAUSES..

"I NEED YOU TO KEEP THIS FOR ME," HE SAYS 

AS HE PULLS OUT 10 STACKS OF HUNDIES, 

AND THE GOLD COIN AND THE NUGGET, 

WHILE HE KEEPS TWENTY 

GRAND HIMSELF.

"WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON, DOCTOR, 

WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH ALL OF 

THAT!" EXCITEDLY ASKS ARCO-IRIS...

"IT'S FROM SOME SUNKEN SHIP TREASURE...

"JUST PUT IT AWAY...IT'S NOT STOLEN...IT'S MINE...

...AND YOU CAN HAVE SOME...BUT JUST HIDE 

IT SO NO ONE WILL FIND IT...NOW!" HE DIRECTS.

"ARE SOME PEOPLE

AFTER YOU, HOLLYWOOD?," SHE ASKS...

"MAYBE, BUT I GOTTA GO NOW, SO 

THEY WONT BOTHER YOU, I'LL SEE 

YOU LATER," HE SAYS AS HE HURRIES 

OUT THE ROOM, SLAMMING THE DOOR 

BEHIND HIMSELF...



"BON VOYAGE, LUV!...BOY, THAT HOLLYWOOD," 

SAYS ARCO-IRIS..."ONE DAY, I'MA CORNER HIM, 

AND WHEN I DO...I'MA 

LET MY CAT



OUT THE BAG!"

SO, DR. REPORT RUNS 

OUT OF THE APARTMENT, 

AND, MAYBE THREE BLOCKS AWAY, 

TWO GUYS SEE HIM

AND POINT TO HIM AND START RUNNING TO HIM

AND HOLLYWOOD SEES THIS AND 

METHODICALLY THREADS THROUGH 

HEAVY TRAFFIC AND

INTO THE FIRST STREET BUSINESS DOOR 

THAT HE CAN FIND,

WHICH IS A

AND WHEN THOSE GUYS  RUN INTO 

THE ESTABLISHMENT LOOKING FOR HOLLYWOOD,

WELL,

YOU KNOW THAT HE'S

ALREADY GONE!
