WHAT in person
WHERE Heavenly Grounds
WHEN 75!!

[So how do you feel about getting into the holiday spirit? Because with all that wine around from the Bingo victories someone's put a sign up outside Heavenly Grounds today advertising a ~holiday party~ There's festive decorations with mulled wine, hot toddies, spiked egg nog. You name it, it's there to get you plastered.

And I guess there's cookies and fruit cake and stuff too, but who needs food when there's drinking?]

No, not a stopper. But it raises some questions.

Well, you can ask.

How did your dog get eaten by an alligator?

He ran away near an alligator infested lake...

So not actually such a long story.

The rest of the story is just ridiculous.

Wouldn't mind hearing it. You'd be surprised what I might believe.

Okay... well, I told you I was an FBI agent, right?

You mentioned it, yeah. FBI aren't normally called in to take care of alligators.

Well, nobody actually thought it was an alligator. They thought it was a "lake monster." [SIGH]

Close to a lake monster.

Yeah, but not that close to a plesiosaur.

Like the dinosaur?

That's what my partner thought was responsible for a number of disappearances in the area, anyway.

I'd say that seems ridiculous, but I guess I've heard weirder stories. Still... alligators seem a little more likely.

No, no, you can say it seems ridiculous. It was ridiculous.

As long as we're on the same page.

He was such a jerk about my dog. I mean, it's not like I normally brought him along on cases, I just couldn't get a sitter that once—

What problem did he have with the dog?

I don't think it fit his image of a dinosaur hunt to be doing it with a little dog tagging along.

Hopefully you won't take it the wrong way if I say that sounds like his problem.

Oh, no, it was absolutely his problem.

So what kind of dog was it?

A pomeranian—which wouldn't have been my first choice, but I rescued him from—not exactly a crime scene... his previous owner had died, though.

That's kind of you. Sounds a lot like a rescue to me.
