"Killer Wheels"


Chandler was in his office when Linda stopped by his office. It was the first time she had stopped by since her trip with Wesley. He knew they were back, he was greeted by a small cactus plant gift on his desk. It had a note.

"You owe me big time Bing!" It waw signed by Wesley.

Chandler had just put it by the window when Linda came in the door.
"Hello there." Linda said. She still had her carry on bag with her.
"Welcome back." Chandler said, in lack of anything better to say. Linda approached the desk.
"I will need you this week to work overtime. The same stuff Wesley did for me on the trip." Linda said. "Wesley is such a stunning bore. Nothing compared to you in what I need done for me." She said as she approached the desk. Chandler sat back a little bit.
"I may have plans."
"You may have to cancel them." Linda said.
"My personal life is important to me." Chandler said.
"Not as long as I'm around." Linda said. "You are mine, all mine."
"Fine when do you want me to come in." Chandler said tossing his pencil on the desk.
"Tonight. At eight. Give you a chance to eat at least. I could have you all night long." Linda told him as she left.
Chandler took a deep breath after Linda left.
"God, I'm trapped." He said. "What am I gonna tell Rachel?"

"Tell you what." The man said to Phoebe. "I'll pay you one thousand but thats it."
Rachel and Phoebe were sitting in Phoebes parking lot next to the white limo that had been giving them all the trouble. Since the limo-sage business caved last week, they decided it was time to call it a day and sell the limo. Split the profits.
"Two thousand." Rachel said. "Thats what we asked for in the ad. No more, and not a penny less."
The man shook his head and walked away.
"Rachel! We'll never sell it if you dont bargin for it!" Phoebe said exasperated.
"I'm sorry but I'm not just gonna take 500$! If we go for the full price we want, we will have a thou for each of us. And heaven knows you can use a grand more than just five hundred bucks!" Rachel explained to her.
"Oh, I see." Phoebe said thinking. "Or I can just have the thousand for myself."
Rachel slapped her forehead with her hand.
"I can see you agree." Phoebe said, totally oblivious.
Another man came up to Phoebe and she started talking with him. Rachel felt her pager, she had it on vibrate.
She took it out and looked at it. Chandler had called her, and it looked urgent.
"I gotta find a pay phone." Rachel said to Phoebe.
"Use the one in the limo, that way the customer will know it works." Phoebe offered.
"I was hoping for a little privacy." Rachel said. "It's Chandler."
"You can always close the door." Phoebe replied.
"Thanks but...see you in a minute." Rachel said taking off to the nearest payphone.

Chandlers office

Chandler impatiently waited for Rachel to call back. The phone on his desk. He lunged for it, almost knocking it on the floor.
"Hello." He said perfectly calmly.
"Chandler!" Rachel said. The traffic in the background could be heard. "Whats up?"
"Linda wants me to work tonight." Chandler said.
"Thats all right." Rachel said.
"It is?" He asked.
"Sure." Rachel said. "As long as she doesnt come onto you, it should be fine. I'll supply you with some poison mouth darts if she comes close enough."
"I think I'll be ok." Chandler said. "I just bought Wesley a pizza to pay him back for the trip to heck." Chandler said eyeing the last piece on his desk. "He said I would have to buy a lot more to even get close to making it up to him."
Rachel laughed. "I gotta go. Phoebe and I are selling the limo. I think she made a sale."
"Ok, see you later." Chandler said.
"Good luck." Rachel said and hung up.

Phoebe was waving goodbye to the man who just bought the limo. The car pulled out of the driveway and drove away.
"Whoo hoo Rachel you will be so proud of me!" Phoebe said as Rachel approached her.
"If you tell me you gave him the car for a bag of magic beans, I'm gonna kill you!" Rachel said.
"How did you know?" Phoebe smiled. "Kidding! Guy!" She laughed. Rachels face was expressionless. "I couldn't get two thousand."
"Phoebe!"
"Listen! He gave us ten grand!" Phoebe said. "Which means five grand for us each. Now I can finally live without the landlord getting on my case each month."
"Five grand?" Rachel said.
"In cash!" Phoebe nodded while giving Rachel a bundle of cash. "I already divided it. This is your half."
"This is unbelievable! What i can do with this!" Rachel thought immediately of shopping. "I can put half of this in my savings account." She decided. "And I can have a little fun with this."
"A little naked Chandler fun." Phoebe said.
"How did you know?" Rachel laughed. "Who was that guy?"
"I didn't ask." Phoebe said. "But he said he worked for some billionaire. Donald Trump?"
"Donald Trump bought our limo?" Rachel asked.
"Yeah." Phoebe said. "He wasnt with him, but I got this!" Phoebe showed her a slip of paper.
"And a date?" Rachel determined.
"Isn't this so cool? Some money, a guy. What else can happen today?"
"Indeed." Rachel said.

Later

Chandler had just arrived at the office. He heard a noise behind him. A soft breath on his cheek.
"Hey sport." Linda said. Chandler turned.
"Linda you scared me."
"I know." Linda said.
"So what do you want to work on?" Chandler said. "I got most of this stuff done during the day, I don't see what we need any overtime for."
"Its not for business." Linda said grabbing his collar. "More for pleasure."
"Oh my god." Chandler said moving away.
"Are you afraid of me all of a sudden?" She asked. "Come back here."
"I don't think so." Chandler said. "What ever happened to Steve?" "Oh him. He's gone." Linda said. Chandler looked shocked. "We broke up. It's not like I buried him in a shallow grave or anything." Linda said coming closer to him. "Come on, we can be back together."
"I'm with Rachel now." Chandler said. "And I know you called her."
"Yeah." Linda said grabbing his face. She kissed him on the lips. "But I'm calling you now."
Chandler pushed Linda away. He made a run for the door.
Linda got up off of the floor where she had fallen. She groaned.

Chandler got home. Rachel was sitting on the couch. She looked up at him. He was catching his breath.
"Hey!" She jumped up and kissed him on the cheek. He tensed up. "Whats wrong?"
"I was right all along. She wanted me back all along." He said.
"Oh my god." Rachel said.
"She even tried to kiss me." Chandler said. "It was like kissing Hitler."
"What are you gonna do?" Rachel said.
"The only thing I can do." Chandler said. "How did the sale go?"
"We sold the limo for ten grand." Rachel said. "I got five grand in the bank now."
"Good, cause we might need it." Chandler said. "Linda coming on to me was the last straw, I'm gonna quit this job. Once and for all."
"Are you sure?"
"Now more than ever." Chandler said.
"I'll support you." Rachel said and kissed him again. He relaxed. "I'll be there."
"Thanks." Chandler said.
Rachel smiled. "If not we can always do something special."
"I'd like that."
