The City
Armbruster Investigations

"Well, we still got power." Ashley "Snookie" Takashi said as she flipped on the light switch as she & her employeer walked into their office space.

"That's good." Arnie J. Armbruster said as he tripped over the pile of mail on the floor.

"Darn mail slot!" Arnie mumbled as he rubbed his shin in pain.

"Mail does tend to pile up when we're gone." Snookie said sarcasticly.

They had just returned from one of the their more interesting advantures that weren't reconed shortly after they happened.

Arnie goes into his office to check if he has anything to drink that hasn't gone bad while they were gone. Snookie goes to check the phone messages, there are 29 new messages.

"Wow, someone must really like us." she thought & pressed the button.

After all the message had played, she found out that Arnie had missed 3 court appearances (All for being drunk in public), he missed 4 dates, He missed 18 telemarketer's calls & 3 calls were for her (2 from her parents & one from Jesus).

Snookie walks into Arnie's office as he's trying to suck out all the goodness from each bottle.

"Here are your messages." she said as he handed him a pile of paper. He shook his head in agreement.

Snookie turned to go back to her desk but then Arnie down the bottle & asked "So, how much did we get for the Bookman case?"

"Nothing." Snookie said offhandedly.

"WHAT?" Arnie screamed. "You mean for all that overtime & being sent to hell was for nothing?"

"No. I'm sure we'll have a fun story to tell at parties." Snookie said jokingly & smiled coyly. Arnie didn't like that answer.

"Well, did you see they pay us?" Snookie said bluntly.

"no." Arnie said thinking back on last few days.

"So, they didn't pay us. Now that's not to say that they won't send us a check, cash, money order, real old dusty book worth millions later on but as of now: they have not paid us one red cent or even a blue one either."

"That sucks."

"Yes. Yes, it does. But, that's the price we pay for being a Private Dick & his beautiful Assistant." Snookie said & smiled rather proud of herself.

Arnie went back to drinking, this time more heavily. He didn't want to remember this adventure. Snookie went back to her desk, she had some phone calls to return.

The End
