Won't work for peanuts? How bout Brazils or cashews ???"Barb, I think Siss needs to turn it down a notch. This 'commish' isn't someone I can protect you from."
"Tree give me a month to remember when you protected me from anything!"

The dame has a good point... and a nice rack and a tight little, too!
"Define 'well-compensated' please," I said, pulling up a chair and seating myself across the desk from him. "Siss and I don't work for peanuts, you know, especially when there's danger involved!"
Backing me up in confronting the man, Siss added, "And what about the Commissioner? We were on our way to see him. Shouldn't we be talking to him directly?"
"Relax ladies. The Commissioner knows all about this. It's undercover work, but you are known to be good under the covers, so were confident that you are up to the job."
"Stop talking in riddles," snapped Siss, plopping herself down on the end of the desk, and leaning forward almost in his face. "We want to know exactly what's going on here or we walk!"
"Not going anywhere!" He replied, sitting back in his chair, pulling out a cigarette and lighting a match.
"Try to stop us!" I laughed, rising from my chair as if to go.
"Shut up and sit down" boomed a deep voice from directly behind me.
I spun around. Siss slid from her perch on the desk. It was him ... well-worn lantern-jawed face, bushy eye brows, thick dark moustavhe, broad-shouldered, and tall ... the Commish!
The first words out of his mouth were ........
I know what you're thinking!!!!!!!!!!!
But I thought the same thing.
I want you both to endear a sweet old women on the upper east side.
Her children are trying to take her money but we have no evidence.
She lives in the past but is sharp!
What are you talking about, Barb blurted!
The way you walk and the way you talk is very important.
Money is no object!
Complete your task and you will be free to do whatever you want !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You have my word.
..........................
He never answered, Barb.
The Commish, just winked at me and Barb rolled her eyes. again.
Plenty of time to sleep after you're dead...and it could be what you did with hair...

...why don't you and Siss get some rest and come up with a plan?
View attachment 487310
I said GET SOME REST!!!
Barb the thought of your hanging around makes me............tumescent.......Another well-wisher ...
Out on the street and headed uptown, side by side, striding purposefully.
"Barb, do you know where we're going?"
"Sure Kath! New York is easy. Just sing the song .... the Bronx is up and the Battery's down ... it's a wonderful town!"
"Barb, I hate to break it to you ... but you can't sing a note!"
"Ok, Siss! I'll save it for next time we borrow Tree's 'Stang and the radio is turned all the way up. By the way, do you have any idea at all about what the Commish expects us to do with this old lady if we can even find her?"
"Beats me Barb. The instructions were kind of cryptic."
"I wasn't paying proper attention Siss. I was too busy thinking to myself that the Commish looked a lot sexier in a Hawaiian shirt and carrying fewer pounds in the gut. Looked a little jowly too, don't you think?
"Barb. This could be it. Nice little residential street ... old fashioned ... working class ... almost expecting to see Archie and Edith any minute now."
"The Bunkers? Retro! Not a chance. This is 2017! Hey, notice how everyone is looking at us? You'd think they had never seen a blond and brunette come strutting down their street before. Heads are turning, taking notice. Do you think it's what we are wearing?
What could happen???Such a nice old woman.
She looks like an Author of many Mystery Murder books.
Barb?
What is happening?
That's a 60's phone !!!!
My Dad had a bowling ball made of that stuff!
Barb?
What is that grinding outside?????
Sorry! Mum. We need a chat but this isn't the time.
Grab her Barb!
Out the back before something happens!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What could happen???
How many Barbs on a fish hook ??Haven't you figured it out yet? This is Siss and Barb!
Everything happens and nothing happens.
Sorry Barb, I beat you to this!!!How many Barbs on a fish hook ??
Such a nice old woman.

Never trust a Belchun !!I got her Siss. She's surprisingly spry for her age! Out the back door and down the alley, round the corner.
There! Let's take refuge in that little tea room.
Whew!
She says that she can help us with the case the Commish gave us. She has a friend who she claims is the best sleuth in the world.
And ... SURPRISE! .... she's calling him now on her CELL PHONE! (Eat your heart out Tree).
She says, he's in the neighborhood and is coming right over to meet us now. In fact, there he is!
Such an odd-looking man ... old fashioned clothing, waxed mustache, oiled down dark hair. spats, waist coat, inquiring dark eyes.
He sees us now. He's coming over.
She is going to introduce him. Apparently he's a foreigner.
What a funny bow. Oh and the way he kissed your hand. Right out of another century!
She says he is Belgian.
And a gentleman too. He just pulled out my chair for me so I could be seated!
Damn Siss, he also just pinched my tight little!
OUCH!
I got her Siss. She's surprisingly spry for her age! Out the back door and down the alley, round the corner.
There! Let's take refuge in that little tea room.
RYEAnd why do we need to take trash into the tea room, Barb?
Trust me, Siss!
She has a friend who she claims is the best sleuth in the world.
Barb! She is the friend! She is the sleuth!
Girls!
That man is no friend of mine, these days.
I'm afraid you have been misinformed.
HE'S TRYING TO KILL ME!
....
ORDER A BOTTLE OF BOURBON.
What?
Not wine?
Trust Me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Girls! Be quick about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Old woman leans into the bartender and tells him to yell .........
Free shots boys!!!!!!!!!!!!!
