Revision as of 01:47, 19 September 2015

The phone call doesn't come till you're back home, curling up in front of the fire while the wireless bleats out a rerun of the old Lone Ranger episodes. The ringing of the telephone brings you out of the Wild West and back to your apartment. You walk over wearily and pick up the receiver. 'Hello?'

'Mr. Horne? This is Estelle Riordan.'

'Hello Blondie,' you say.

There's a noise on the other side like someone snorting. 'Thank you for being so considerate earlier,' the blonde says. 'I wanted to talk about the case.'

'Go ahead,' you say. 'I'm all ears.'

There is a pause. Finally the blonde speaks. 'Do you think you could come over? I'd rather discuss the details with you properly...'

You look back wistfully at the blazing fire and the chair you were curled up in.

You're too comfortable to go anywhere just now

Of course, you wouldn't mind getting comfortable with her either...
