 Pansy Polka Caper

Brenda has a meeting with the seedy old Mr De Leer at 2.30p.m. at his down-town house. It was one chilly day so she'd wrap up warm, but she knew a flash of her  slender legs would loosten the old creeps tongue and she'd be sure to get her story.....what a Gal has to do these days to pay the rent! ...........?

Okay, so this polka dot number should catch his attention?

Hailing a cab, she jumps in and hastily tells the driver the address, and asks him to hurry, as she's to get the copy in by 5p.m. or miss tomorrows edition.

Something fishy was going on here between this guy and the new Mayor. If she got it right she'd get a rise for sure, if she was wrong well...........well she'd worry about that later. But she'd risked her neck before, and hey, this was her job, to follow hunches, and her hunches were usually right

The cab screeched to a halt outside a palatial mansion. Tipping the driver and telling him to wait, she straightened her skirt and affected her best wiggle. She caught the slightest movement from a curtain beyond and thought...Nothing like a tight skirt and a swagger to help a gal get noticed !!! .

``Well my dear I believe your looking for money for some charity or another, is that right? Come over here and sit by me and we'll discuss just how I can help you" he said with a lustful lear.

Brenda felt the goosebumps rise on her arms as she hesitantly sat down on a chair nearest the door. `` I'm actually looking for some verification as to whether you're buying the local childrens home to renovate it, or to eventually knock it down to build your proposed freeway ?"

There she'd said it, not as subtly as she'd wanted but it was out.

An ancient butler showed her into a smokey parlour, asking her to wait. Quickly she got out her little box brownie and started clicking for dear life at the table in front of her. Moments later she heard footsteps and a tall man entered the room.

``Ah, so that's why you're here. Which paper do you work for? You know a fine girl like you could do better working for me....." he added lurching towards her.

Boy she didn't think she could move so fast. She was out that door in a shot, and into the awaiting taxi.

She had the photos though.  Photos of the plans for the new road, let him squirm his way out of this!

!Where too now lady?"

``Oh, straight to the Office, I've a deadline to meet!"
