It was one of those kind of nights. I was in my office late, having my favorite setup - scotch with a scotch chaser, when the knock came upon that door that read "Lamar Hunt, Private Detective"... yeah, my door.

I then got up to answer the door, as reluctant as I was to do so. Like a recalcitrant bulldog, my every instinct told me not to do it, but despite my doubts, I slowly turned the knob.

I don't know why I said it. It just came out.
"NO! I don't have anymore POT!" Lamar had this funny look on his face... "Ummm, okay....donut?" |

"Don't ever call me that again," was the only response that could be mustered.

"Your a friend of the Walker boys, too.", she said, looking out the window at the streetlights. |

"Who? Why do you want to know? Are you a Commie??!? ARE YOU!?!?" She stared at me for a while. "I mean the Walker boys from down the street. The bicycle repairmen..." she said in a way that can only be achieved by a mysterious woman with a huge overbite. "Ah, yes," I fumbled, trying to cover my tragic outburst, "what about them?" |

"They're okay fellas, I guess, but they tend to get into spots they have trouble removing themselves from sometimes," was her reply.
"You know, actually, it's you're," I said, unable to control myself after thinking over her earlier statement. Being a grammar nazi can really hurt business sometimes, and her eyes betrayed the second thoughts she was having about being here in the first place. |

"I said You're" she replied... "One would think a detective would be able to deduce the fact that the apostrophe is silent!" "Maybe I should take my business elsewhere." she stated sarcastically.

"Maybe you should shut your mouth, bitch!"
Well, that did it. She stormed out the door, slamming it behind her so hard I thought the glass was going to shatter. My temper had lost me yet another client. I sat back down and poured another drink. It looked like it would be a long night. |

Being constantly reminded that I hadn't won a big case since the 70's by my "friends" in Denver had taken a toll on me as of late. Hopefully the sixteenth shot of scotch would take the edge off and help me deal with this striking yet incredibly annoying bitch.
"What exactly do you want, Miss...? I inquired, not knowing her name. |

"You got something in her eye, there, honey," I told her, gesturing towards her deep blue eyes. "Oh..." she sighed. She rubbed at her eye for a bit, and pulled something from her eye in an unexpectedly sexy way. "It was just a piece of hope, that's all." "I see... anyway, where were we?" I responded. |

"I've lost something, something very dear to me.", she said. The tone in her voice told me that when she lost it, she was dealing with a hard-boiled egg, the kind of egg you drop in really hot water and forget about for 20 minutes. |
