Seems like I can never get a break from the murders in this mob ruled city. So I decided to plan for three months of beaches and sipping daiquiri's. I started out the summer with one goal in mind. Relaxation. It turned out to be the weirdest summer I have ever had.
The first month was heaven on earth. No murders, no desperate clients (who half the time were the actual killers) and no dealing with clammed witnesses. Just me and the sounds of the waves crashing on shore.
Of course, nothing good can lasts. One day while I was getting a nice tan, I heard a squeal. When I reluctantly opened my eyes I saw a monkey sitting a few feet away from me. I was stupefied. Where did this monkey come from? Why was it staring at me? My first instinct was to scare it away. But then what if it attacked? Me, being the paranoid type, my mind started racing. It probably would attack me, then I would get some rare disease. I would be too far away from a hospital to get help. Even if I managed to somehow miraculously make it to a hospital, I was sure I would die. I was broke and had no health insurance. If I was treated I would probably get an infection.
Whoa, snap out of it Keira! I stopped my racing mind from continuing to freak out. If I could handle grizzly crime scenes, surely I could deal with one little monkey. As my sanity was coming back to me, I knew that this vacation was too long overdue.
I focused my attention back on the monkey. There was now a guy seated next to the little animal. He turned around and it was a mime! What the....??? He then started to do all these mime skits. Did one of my enemies slip something in my drink or was this really happening? Before I could further ponder the oddity of it all, the mime slipped away. He then reappeared with his monkey following me around every day for the rest of my vacation. For once, I couldn’t wait to get back to city and deal with whiny clients!

I thought I'd share something I did with my spare time last summer (not necessarily quite in line with the rules, so I pre-disqualify myself)

......... A Letter to Ben .........

Dear Ben,

For many years you have promised me that which I most desire. That is, the right to my very own Sleuth pony.

I know that you have fobbed me off, circumnavigated the question like a drunken Portugese explorer, and even tried to distract me by having me get a false accusation on an easy case... I KNOW IT WAS YOU!

But seriously mate, it's time.

I've done the hard yards, put up with the tweens, and the tantrums, the Werbers and the Beckys, smoothed waters, and snuffed the flaming brands of righteous indignation, and for what? Hollow promises and a shed full of oats.

Did you know there's only so many excuses I can make for my regular subscription to 'Stirrups and Spurs' before my neighbours finally start gossiping. Not that Miss Penelope's column on 'How to Deal with a frisky Colt' hasn't come in handy from time to time when dealing with the occasional errant punter, but even so, there's only so many times a subscriber will let you rub them down.

So once again Ben, I bring my case before you. I ask you to look on it not as giving in to a mere whim, but fulfilling the hopes and dreams of one small squirrel, a squirrel who has run out of things to do with his nuts, and would like to pursue a more fulfilling and varied past time.

Obediently yours,

Secret_Squirrel

P.S. Would it be alright if Sunny returned the riding crop she borrowed last fall.

............ A reply from Ben ............


Dear Secret_Squirrel,

No.

Ben.

P.S Sunny has ummm mislaid the riding crop in question, and apologises. To make up for this we... err she, would be willing to take your subscription to 'Stirrups and Spurs' off your hands.

...............
