Intro -- The Leak
At eight the next morning Dave stepped out the door of the apartment to go to work only to find a newspaper sitting at his threshold. Normally this wouldn’t mean anything, but they had the paper delivered to the office, not the apartment. Never one to overlook the entertainment value of a newspaper, Dave picked it up, cracked it open, scanned the headlines, and whistled a long one.
“Oh darling” he called to Breit. She rushed out of the bedroom trying to put an earring on without benefit of a mirror.
“Yes dear?”
“Remember how the mayor was almost shi, er, having kittens, yesterday that the news of the theft NOT get out?”
“Yesssss.” She read the headline for herself, trying to whistle a long one too at the end.
THEFT OF 12 FROM THE MET. MAYOR WANTS HEADS., screamed the headline.
“Oh boy, he will shi, er, have kittens at that one. Wonder who at the World Herald spilled the beans. I know I didn’t call them.” Breit replied.
“I know, sweetheart. Looks like we are no longer the only game in town…”
