Where was he? Why was he here, with this kid? What had he done?
Hazily he watched her come toward him, saw her hips sway beneath flimsy lace, the swell of full breasts in the skimpy bra. "How did we get here?" he demanded.
She laughed "Don't you remember, honey? You kidnapped me ... and ..."Remember? He remembered that she had cost him his job. Dimly he recalled cursing her out in a dozen bars, getting blind drunk. And he had a vague memory of her behind the wheel of a car. She had kidnapped him!
Now she was missing, and the cops would be hot on the trail. Which story would they swallow - his or hers?
He saw her angelic smile and knew the answer. He was trapped.
"Come on, Gary," she said. "Let's have some fun."

Little Tramp (Audible Audio Edition) Gil Brewer Andrew Eiden Audible Studios Books Reviews
Gil Brewer worked a number of different jobs after being discharged from the Army following World War II, but his goal was to become a writer. In the fifties, he did just that and wrote numerous pulp stories for Gold Medal. His "13 French Street" was probably his most successful selling book and it sold over a million copies, but was considered unfilmable because of its content. Other novels included Satan is A Woman, Flight to Darkness, Some Must Die, 77 Rue Paradis, The Brat, Little Tramp, Wild, A Killer is Loose, Vengeful Virgin, the Red Scarf, and the Angry Dream. In all, Brewer published fifty novels, not all under his true name, and over one hundred shorts. Many of his stories are set in Florida where Brewer made his home. Eventually, Brewer drank himself to death.
Little Tramp is a terrific noir-era pulp story, although it is not one of Brewer's best known works. The story involves, Gary Dunn, a man who runs into trouble wherever he goes and there's generally, as in many of Brewer's books, a woman behind the trouble. Dunn is on the right track now. He has a job at a lumber yard. He is engaged to Doll (short for Dolores), who works at a strip club at the edge of town, and they are making plans to do everything right. Gary wants it now "after all the hell-for-leather-bottle-and-a-babe years, an after what Jane Matthias had done to him up in Alexandria."
Only there wouldn't be a story if there wasn't a monkey wrench in his plans and here the monkey wrench is in the form of the Boss's daughter, who asks for him by name to come out to the house and build some shelves. Only he had met this one before "He had seen her twice and she'd come damn close to being a problem." She flagged him down when she had a flat tire. "Anybody would have stopped for a looker like that one, though she was damned young." While he changed the tire, "she leaned against the side of the car, watching, the long tanned legs disturbingly near his arms."
This one was trouble with a capital T. When he gets to the mansion where the boss lived, he saw her bare feet with neat crimson toenails, "silver shorts, high and snug around warm brown thighs." He wanted out. He didn't know what was going on, but "she was scheming and he couldn't take being played like a fish." "He knew the way he felt, he had to get away from her. From the moment he'd seen this girl standing at that intersection, calling to him about a flat tire, he'd been suspicious. Now he had every reason to hate her, and just looking at her told him there was nothing he'd be able to do about it."
But this one is hell on wheels, and when he doesn't go for her proposition and her father is pulling up in the driveway, she tore her jersey, exposing herself, scratching at him with her nails. "She mussed her hair, and he heard the zing of the zipper on her shorts." Franklin Harper walks in, his face beet-red, and Gary is now out of a job and his life is falling apart. All because of Arlene Harper, the manipulative little ---.
But she is not done scheming and, with his job gone and Doll angry because he was she thinks fooling around with some rich girl, Gary sets out to drinking and the next thing he knows he is in a cabin with this young girl, perhaps eighteen and she is telling him that he kidnapped her and they are going to split the ransom money because daddy never gives her anything and she wants to hurt daddy bad.
There's also a mob-type tough guy following Gary around and telling him to lay off Arlene or else and he figures into this later. But, wow, can Brewer paint a guy into a corner and a no-win situation. This one is a terrific fast-reading pulp piece. Best thing about it is as a reader you can feel Gary's anger and frustration as he backed into one corner after another with no way out by Arlene, this crazy girl. "That wild, crazy, scheming little bitch."
"She was either crazy as hell, or the deadliest schemer he'd ever met up with." Nobody would ever believe this was my plan, she tells Gary. "He'd been too close to hell too many times not to recognize the furnace when he was inside walking on the burning grate." "He did not move. He was sick, and it was like a dream." "Her body moved close and he heard her tight breathing. She slid onto his lap, holding the drink in one hand, circling his neck with the other arm."
Brewer takes the reader into a journey that is the hell Gary's world has become with this she-devil, one second manipulating him and one second seducing him and all the world thinks he kidnapped her.
One terrific pulp story. Highly recommended.
Great little read. Gil Brewer never disappoints! If you like his other books you will love this one.
