The Detectives

This morning I stayed in bed as long as possible, considering how many Rum and Eggnogs I drank last night, and how late it was that I was drinking them.

Tom called me at about 9:00 a.m. and told me I should get up and come to the office because the detectives would be there at 10:00.

I didn't take a shower. I put on shorts and a t-shirt and my slippers and headed to the office. When I arrived, the detectives were already there.

I apologized for my attire, but because it was still my vacation, that's all they were getting. Actually, I told them that I was hoping that they didn't show up so that I could stay home in bed and watch movies.

We chatted for about an hour. They were actually very nice. The woman they are going after is bad news. She has several criminal actions pending all at the same time. I called an attorney friend of mine to discuss how much I could divulge about the client, as I drove into the office. I could discuss everything unrelated to the actual matter for which the client had retained me.

Something interesting that Tom heard while the detectives were waiting in the client waiting area. I have a salt water aquarium in the waiting area. The female detective told the male that she once had a fresh water aquarium that she and her husband had to get rid of. Rather than flush the fish down the toilet, because that would have made her feel bad, she poured bleach into the tank and let them die that way instead. Hmmm.
