Suddenly, on that fateful night … (cont’d)

As Sharon Bialek and Gloria Alred waved frantically, I knew I had been made. You see, we met years ago at Timberloft Restaurant. My assignment that day was to track the sea bass burglar. Sure, he wasn’t as well-known as your everyday cat burglar or diamond thief, but he had struck terror into the hearts of restaurateurs and fish lovers across the country. At the time, I heard he had tried to go legit, and even had his portrait made in an hour-long photo session, so he could be an actor. But the lure of the sea was just too much to resist. Life was dull without stolen seafood.

Now as you probably know if you’ve seen any TV this week, Sharon is a looker. So I was glad I was relaxed from my One-hour massage. Maybe I would have the nerve to ask her to go back with me to my hometown of Nashville, where we could glance longingly at each other at Olivia Olive Oil Private Tasting Event. We could then sashay on down to the Tour for Two at Ryman Auditorium.  Think of it. She would be my Tammy Wynette and stand by her man. Finally, we would end the evening with a Holiday Tour for Two to Belmont Mansion.

One thing I learned as a private detective, though, is that  dreams are made to be broken. True love would have to wait until I broke this case. Keep on dancing Sharon and Gloria. Just keep on dancing.

Back to my assignment.  As I made my way down Wall Street, I couldn’t help thinking of the job at hand. Would I be able to complete it? Would I become as famous as Sam Spade or better yet—TJ Hooker! Thanks to my night classes and all the business cards I got on the cheap with custom printing from Vistaprint, I believed I had as good of shot as the next Joe. But I digress.

As I hit the corner of South Street headed toward the Brooklyn Bridge, I spotted my first clue. A room key from Loews Vanderbilt Hotel. Had fate intervened? Would I be heading home to catch the . . . To be continued tomorrow...
