The detective had a spastic, conspiratorial revelation- the ape must belong to the Vatican guard! Why else would El Mariachi-mp be carrying around a spare coffin, unless he were a traveling musical instrument salesman?

I quickly decided. "We shall move away from here, let's meet back at my office; I'll have coffee and biscuits ready for you"

I ran from that cursed group and grabbed a cab that was driven by a seemingly human personage. I'd had more than enough of unruly wildlife to last a lifetime.

Back to the office we all converged. But was it for a little nookie, or more serious matters like the search for the missing (egg) Macguffin?

I had hardly got indoors, put the coffee on to simmer and taken out the biscuits when the horde arrived and took up all the available chairs, and a couple lounged on the floor.

"So," I said, "what's it to be, black, white or latte;" thinking it best to take control of this situation and do so slowly after all the previous occasions when it'd got out of hand .....

Before anyone could place their drinks order, the phone rang. The blond bimbo snatched it up reflexively and crooned "Wrong number!" before pulling the cord out of the wall again.

'Damn it' I thought to myself - ' not again !'

"Listen smarty-pants; and I use that term advisedly in your case", she purred like a cat with cream dripping from her jaw, "no more interruptions, hurry up with the drinks and let us get down to business with a big capital B!"

"BOOYAH," the detective yelped, not being very fast on the quip. "I need a few Krispy Kremes in my system- low blood sugar, you know".

It was for just such a moment as this that I kept a small vial of liquefied sleeping pills handy. A few drops on each donut should be enough to quiet this rowdy crowd and allow me time to get my head together.

I watched and waited as they ate, but nothing happened !

Patiently I wondered and waited, and still they stayed awake - staring at me, all of them.....

Then I looked down at the remnants of my "Chocolate Deluxe" and promptly passed out. Once again, I was at their mercy.

Strangers in black robes quietly entered the room. At first it looked like they were going to check out the dame's body parts to see if they were real or a byproduct of Dow Chemical, but then they focused their examination on her silk stockings and ruby red slippers.

Through the drug-induced fog surrounding my head, I began to notice something not-quite-right about the dame. She wasn't quite "dame" enough; her head was faintly simian-shaped, her arms were a bit too long, her legs were sort of bowed...suddenly a thought jumped into my head; "She reminds me of a shaved ape!"

In every detective story, there is a moment of truth, a shocking discovery, an epiphany, as it were. The fly on the wall was in a catatonic state, not knowing whether to look or close his beady eyes ...
