Story: Priscilla and the Lion Code
Story by Gail Nobles © 2026
Cover image: Gail Nobles

There was a big lion music barcode on a poster on a wall in an underground studio. A young female producer sat in front of it with a large vinyl record beside her. The music from her groups had important messages and meanings. The Lion code stood for this music, filled with both happiness and sadness. No other artists had music like hers. It was difficult to steal from her artists because their music was coded. Their songs had a unique sound because of that code, which made it special. Sometimes, you could hear a lion's growl in the interludes between songs. But the Lion was more than just a sound on a record; it was like a roar in the horn and drum. When someone scanned the barcode on the records, the music could be traced back to its owner, Priscilla. However, this sound was quiet and not audible to others. Only Priscilla could hear it through a small device in her ear.

Priscilla was set on keeping her artists and her business safe from criminals like Rob Spencer. He was a strong and aggressive man. Priscilla decided that if he tried to take her business, she would do anything to stop him, even if it meant hurting him.

Priscilla paced her studio, her mind racing with unsettling scenarios. She couldn’t shake the image of Rob’s imposing figure looming over her, a constant reminder of the threat he posed to her artists and her livelihood. "If it comes down to it," she thought, her heart pounding, "I’ll fight back with everything I have. I may not be as strong as him, but I know how to use my surroundings to my advantage. A swing from a baseball bat. Anything to fend him off.” The idea of physical confrontation was daunting, but the thought of surrendering her passion ignited a fiery determination within her. She would not be a victim; not now, not ever.

There was a singing group called the Attractioners that converted an old building into a makeshift record factory. They pressed their work onto huge discs, stored the unreleased recordings in a secure vault, and filled their songs with hidden messages. Their music was powerful enough to inspire a positive movement, which made them both influential and suspect — they were watched because they were a potential

Meanwhile, their love songs brought people together at events, in homes, and across communities. The group became indispensable to Priscilla’s business: Monty sent unsigned artists to her, and Priscilla always put her artists first, taking less for herself so everyone else was paid. Because of that generosity, money flowed in and there was plenty to go around.

In the end Priscilla and Monty had to guard against those who wanted to bring them down. Priscilla’s own producer, Rob Spencer, emerged as the ringleader, scheming to steal her artists and sabotage her company. But Monty and the record-making group, the Attractioners, stood firm behind her, protecting the music and the business they had built.

Priscilla sat in her small studio room, surrounded by dust-covered boxes of vinyl records that had once been her pride and joy. The sunlight had faded long ago in the fabric of her world, leaving her with the persistent dread of what was to come. After rising to fame with her soulful voice and magnetic performances, she had been dropped by her record label during a corporate shake-up. The bad press and whispers of scandal were far too much for the executives to stomach. Suddenly, she was no longer the golden girl but a tarnished memory.

Priscilla's mind raced with thoughts of the ruthless producers who once celebrated her raw talent. They wanted to bury her, to discredit her in the eyes of an industry that thrived on the new and trending. Little did they know that in their attempt to erase her, they were igniting a fire.

Meanwhile, at the heart of a bustling city, DJ Bumble Bee whose real name is Monty had his finger on the pulse of the underground music scene.  In his own right, he had built a solid following for his late-night radio show. While the producers clamped down on budding artists like Priscilla, Monty was determined to break the mold. One night, he gathered the courage to air one of her lost tracks. The vibrant notes of her voice filled the airwaves, and he felt an electric thrill pulse through his veins as his audience immediately connected with her sound.

Priscilla’s music began to spread like wildfire; listeners flooded the station with requests for her forgotten hits. Every time Monty played her tracks, he knew he was risking everything. But as the station's ratings soared, he could see a glimmer of hope in Priscilla’s story. That glimmer quickly turned into a blazing spotlight, and with it, a target on their backs.

Rob Spencer, Priscilla’s producer and enemy was furious when he found out that another station in another city was playing her records. He and his business men tried  to track down the station, scrambling to maintain control over it. But Priscilla had a plan of her own. In the shadows, she began laying the groundwork for her own record label, something distinct from the traditional industry that had once confined her. She chose a fresh start, one where she could showcase talent without the chains of corporate greed. With connections forged in the underground scene, she quietly signed new artists, all while remaining behind the curtain.

Monty, ever the crafty DJ, decided to step out of the box as well. He launched a new radio station designed for artists to express themselves freely. This time, he was not just a voice; he was a force. He reached out to Priscilla , and they came up with a strategy that would allow them to keep their identities under wraps while putting music back into the hands of the people.

Story: The Love Nest
Story and Art by: Gail Nobles ©️2024

When it was time for Monty to be released from the hospital, Priscilla was there to help him. Monty got a phone call from Jet Jay Boston that his house windows and things in his home were broken. Both Monty and Priscilla knew right away that Rob Spencer had something to do with it. Jay had told both Monty and Priscilla to get out of town over the phone. Monty put his phone on the speaker shaking like a leaf.

Jay: Priscilla, take Monty and get out of town. It’s not safe for either of you to be here. When Rob and those men get out of jail, they will be coming for Monty again. They got some more crew looking for Monty. And you have done right not to sing again. Since your records have been played, he wants Monty to continue and make him money. 
Monty: And I won’t do it. That Piece of ..

Jay: Rob is crazy. Now he wants to use Monty and take over everything. He’s a mobster. Get out of town because he’ll be after you too Priscilla.

Priscilla: When I was with him, he didn’t want me or my music. 

Jay: Now he see that you are bigger than you ever were before. You were big all the time. Rob didn’t know what he had. He just wasn’t doing things right. It wasn’t that the fans didn’t love you. You gained some new fans today. Now get moving girl and be safe. 

Priscilla took Monty back to the rural area with her worried about where he was going to stay. She didn’t want him to stay with her. Being hurt by men, she trusted no man, and was content living alone. Priscilla didn’t have to ask Monty where he was going to stay. He told her that he could stay in a hotel. 

Months went by. Monty kept in touch with Jay Jet Boston. He mailed him the keys to his radio station to become the disc jockey in his place while he was gone. But Monty became depressed and scared about his life. He felt alone and was used to being in his own town at his own home with a job. But he was blessed to have Jet Boston as a friend. He cleaned up Monty’s house and replaced all the broken windows. 

Priscilla and Monty didn’t speak much with eachother. Priscilla got lost in her music. After a while, she thought about Monty. She gave him a call, but Monty wasn’t half speaking. Priscilla finally went to visit Monty at the hotel. When she got there, he was sick and trying to leave the hotel. Priscilla wanted to know how he was feeling. 

Monty: I’ve got to leave here. This hotel is about to take all of my cash. I’ve got to go back home. Monty picked up a cup of tea. He was shaking. 

Priscilla began to worry again. She said: If you go back, those guys will kill you. I guess I’ll have to be the one to take you in for a while. Come and go with me. 
So Priscilla drove Monty to her place, but she had to stop a couple of times along the way. Monty was very sick. While driving, Jet Boston was talking to Rita King on the radio. Priscilla turned up the volume. Miss Rita had been drinking and angry at Rob Spencer. She was under the same record label as Priscilla. 

She yelled out (Rita): Priscilla, wherever you are. We want tou back at The Buzz AMB. That man’s a goodly man. He got my records played. 

Jay: We’ll be back with more Rita King right after these messages.

Priscilla kept the words of Miss Rita on her mind: That man’s a goodly man. 

When Priscilla got Monty to her house, she pulled down some stairs from her ceiling. She let Monty sleep in her attic. She chose the attic just in case she was found by Rob Spencer. The pull down stairs were not noticable. It was like a trick to the eyes. 

Staying with Priscilla, Monty had doctor visits. After being hit in the head by Rob Spencer, he would sometimes have dizzy spells, and he had a muscle injury after a blow to the stomach. 
Priscilla fed Monty and took care of him, and Monty would help Priscilla. They learned more about each other.Priscilla saw that Monty was a lot like her. They became close knit friends, and the attic became a love nest. It was a place where they would talk and hold each other.

Priscilla thought about the conversation that she had with Jay Jet Boston, but she did not think about calling him. Instead, she thought about owning her own record label and doing things her way. Pricilla knew how to make her own music, and she knew how to write her own songs. Priscilla turned her basement into a home studio. She began working on her own music which was something she didn’t get a chance to do at her old record label with Rob Spencer.

Then Priscilla thought about Monty. For days she tried to call him and get in touch with him, but there was no answer. Later, she found out that he was in the hospital. Monty was nearly dead when he was found. Like Sympathy, he had been beaten but beaten far worse than Sympathy. Priscilla told Sympathy she would never go back to the city she came from, but she knew that she was lying to her. Priscilla went back to the city and she went back to see Monty.

When Priscilla went to visit Monty, she saw him with a swollen face and he was badly bruised up. She could barely tell if Monty could see her. Both his eyes were cracked open. Priscilla went to the window of his room and looked down. She saw Rob Spencer and two bad men getting out of a car to go into the hospital doors. Priscilla looked at Monty and said: You gotta leave here.

Monty who could barely speak asked his doctor to let him transfer quickly and secretly into another hospital from his enemies that carried guns. The doctor gave him his request having police to investigate Rob and his men. Someone saw Rob and his men beating Monty and had it recorded to send to the police. So the police knew Rob and his men. They were arrested several days later after Monty was transferred.

Priscilla spent some time with Monty and went back to her place to work on her music for the future.

Today's episode: Priscilla and Monty Montgomery

After Priscilla had a talk with DJ Bumblebee and Jay, she went back to her hide out. She chose to live in a rural area in a bickhouse way back in a field. There was a pathway to get to her house, but she was not easy to find even if you had the address. That’s the way Priscilla wanted it. Her and her neighbors lived far apart. There was peace and quiet. Priscilla set in a rocking chair reading a book holding a puff fake prop cigarette in her mouth to keep from smoking a real one.

Suddenly, Priscilla's phone began to ring. She saw a strange name pop up on her phone. The name was Monty Montgomery. She decided she would let the stranger leave a message.when the answering machine. took Monty’s message, Priscilla heard a familiar voice. It was Bumblebee.

Priscilla looked at her phone and said, "So Monty's the Bumblebee.” But Priscilla wouldn't answer any of Monty's calls.

Priscilla was suddenly interrupted again. She heard a knock at the door. When she cracked her door to peep Out there was a young woman standing to her door that had been beaten and could hardly stand up. Priscilla then stepped outside her door to keep the girl from falling. The strange woman could hardly speak.

She said: Rob Spencer. Never trust him.
When the woman said the name Rob Spencer, Priscilla hurridly took the woman into her house.

She (Priscilla) asked: How did you find me? Who are you?

The woman said: Im the woman that took your place. You said he didnt want you, but he doesnt care and want nobody but himself.

Then Priscilla recognized the woman. She said: Sympathy?

Sympathy was the woman’s name. She had a black eye and swollen lip.

Sympathy said: I had to find you. He’s a crimminal. You were smart to leave the city.
Sympathy was sick from the beating she got from Rob Spencer. Priscilla took care of her until she was well. She secretly helped Sympathy move to the urban area where she lived. They became best friends, but Sympathy could see in Priscilla's eyes that she wasn't satisfied.

She said: Priscilla, promise me that you won’t go back to the city where Rob is. If you do, it might be your last visit.

Priscilla: I have no reason to go back there where he is Sympathy.
But Sympathy could tell by the look in Priscilla’s eyes that she wasn’t making any promises.

About a week later, someone again was knocking on Priscilla's door. She peeped through the peephole of the door. She saw that it was Monty Montgomery, DJ Bumblebee. Priscilla slowly opened the door.

She asked: Yes, may I help you?

Monty: Girl, I searched days to find you.

Priscilla: Why did you search days to find me? I told you I’m not singing no more.

Monty: Thats really not why i came to see you.

Priscilka looked unconcerned and she asked: Why did you come?

Monty: I need someone to talk to. At first Rob Spencer threatened to take over my radio station but he saw how powerful I have been. My station makes tons of cash. I played your songs again and now people are requesting to hear them more. Rob sees cash can be made off of playing your records. Your name is now in the news again along with my station in the major city newspapers. More people want to know who I am.

Priscilla: And what else?

Monty: And now Rob wants me to make that cash and partner with him. I have a month to think about it. If I don't partner with him, he will make sure that I lose all that I have.

Priscilla: I told you not to play my songs?

Monty: I know. I know.

Priscilla: So why are you here? What do you want me to do about it? There’s nothing I can do. I don't own my own music.

Monty: But didn't you take back what he owed you?

Priscilla: Yes, by taking the matter into my own hands. I knew taking Rob to court would be unsuccessful. I suggest you start building a new radio station or something.

Priscilla close the door on Monty and left him in desperation.

You’re listening to The Buzz. Today’s episode : A Good Girl Can Do A Bad Thing.

DJ Bumblebee was expecting a talented singer named Priscilla McCall, but she never showed up until it was time for Bumblebee to leave the station.

Bumblebee: Priscilla!!

Priscilla: I’m sorry I’m late, and I intended to be late. I do not want to go on the air. I’d rather talk to you in private.

Bumblebee: Okay.

Priscilla: So what do you want to know about me?

Bumblebee: We’ll, we haven’t heard from you in years, and I’m not allowed to play you’re records anymore. What happened? I still get requests to play your songs.

Priscilla: I was dropped from my record company. My producer didn’t want me to make it. There was another girl that he was interested in that studied my style. He didn’t want me anymore because I wouldn’t let him control me. There were a lot of guys in the business after me, but no one wanted to be my producer.

Bumblebee: Do you think your record company had something to do with that?

Priscilla: Probably so.

Bumblebee: Is the rumor true that you robbed you’re producer for money.

Priscilla: I didn’t rob him. I took back what was mine.

Bumblebee: Okay! Okay!I was gonna say that - that didn’t sound like something you would do. You’re a good girl.

Priscilla: A good girl can do a bad thing. I’m that kind of girl when I feel the need to do something that’s necessary. He owed me money. He wasn’t trying to pay me. So I took it.

Bumblebee: Why not tell the world. No one has heard your side of the story.

Priscilla: Rob Spencer is a dirty dog. If I speak now, I’ll have to deal with him. I’m tired. My life is private, and I just want some peace.

Bumblebee: So Rob Spencer was you’re producer.

Priscilla: Yes, and you know who he is and what he’s about.

Bumblebee: Yea, when I was tempted to play your records once, he sort of threatened me. But you should be allowed to speak, and your music should go on being heard.

Priscilla: I’ll have to kill that man if I do. He’s very jealous, and I’ll say it again, a good girl can do a bad thing.

Bumblebee: I see what this is all about. Priscilla, we’ve got to get you back on the air.

Priscilla: Bumblebee, leave things alone. Now, I’m warning you. I am not to be heard again.

Bumblebee: Didn’t you say a good girl can do bad things? Why don’t you fight?

Priscilla: Bum, you’re not hearing me.

Bumblebee: Do you really want to stay silent forever? You know, Rob Spencer really is controlling you. You left Rob, but you can try again for you’re career.

Priscilla: I don’t want to sing anymore. And as far as playing my records again, you’re on your own.

Priscilla walked out of DJ Bumble Bee’s station. Bumble Bee wasn’t afraid of her producer, Rob Spencer. He thought it was ridiculous that her records couldn’t continue to be played, and he started playing her music anyway. And trouble was coming for Bumble Bee.
