(Author’s Note: Activity has been low in the last little while due to a few issues. One of the things I’m doing is working really hard on a different project that will help me clear a piece of debt. I am hoping to write more, but it may not be until the new year before I do. Some cases are just a little harder than others. But, while I’m here, have a story!)

She looked up, and gave a smile of thanks.

“Now, make sure you look both ways.”

The man set her up on her feet, and he picked up his briefcase. With a doff of his hat, he rushed off.

She looked.

She blinked.

“WHAT THE HELL?!?!”
