"What do you mean, 'YOU managed to fend him off this time?", she shot back at me. "I'm the one who remembered to get the banana!"

"Besides, don't you think there might be a tiny conflict of interest if you accept a job offer from him?" she added.
Things were beginning to get a bit tricky. |

"Errrm, you heard that part did you?" Thinking quickly, I added, "I only said that in order to get closer to him to find out why he is stalking you."

Thinking to stop this line of conversation, I picked up the envelope that had fallen to the floor. 'Hmm,' I mused, 'a distinctive odor of almonds.'

I carefully turned the envelope over to see who had sent it. My eyes popped open at the name!.

I suddenly found it hard to breathe. This is definitely turning into one of those days where I should just shoot myself and save everyone else the trouble.

"But then you wouldn't be able to protect me," said the blonde in a voice that got my blood flowing in all the wrong directions.
Damn my leaky internal monologue, I thought. Last edited by LazyScot; 05-24-2010 at 10:21 AM. Reason: Opps. mean "wouldn't", not "would". Dratted sub-editor must be on coffee break again |

"We still have the small matter to discuss of my fee, " I said, trying to keep my cool and not think about the source of the letter. Of all people, why would she send me an ape-couriered letter?

Some dames just hang around your neck ... like last Christmas' necktie. Or like that sad haunting song you can't forget no matter how many shots of rotgut you pour down your throat.

Now to settle on a fee to save the lady in front of me from the ape, who said he needed to be saved the dame. After that I can concentrate on the letter, even though it was burning my fingers to hold it without opening it.

"My normal fee is $250 a day, plus expenses. But I charge an extra $50 a day if I'm likely to get shot at," I added, chancing my stiletto-shot arm.

She batted those cute little button eyes at me and said, "I thought we settled that earlier. You did take the envelope of cash I gave you."

It all began in a smoky night club in Paris. I was hired for a two week gig, singing and swinging in the Rue de la Rouge.
