Brand new 2009 fiction fun story, lets all chip in.

Barbe let out a big sigh. "Do I always have to be the one to bring class to our group? You guys just aren't taking this case seriously! Now snap out of the silliness ladies and get your Manolo Blahniks on and form a straight line!"

Without hesitation the motley crew donned their respectible outfits and presented themselves as a cohesive group. Barbe was proud and turned with a flourish to the leader and said "Here is your team. What do you need us to do?"

While their luscious leader spoke, Barbe took candid photos of the group. What a great way to document their mission, and the shots would make a cool surprise in a nice frame as a reward when they were done!

Ok, we are doing survalence watching for the cattle rustlers to back into the property and steal the cattle, we want it on film but we don't want to stop them.  We have to follow them on horseback to see where they are taking them and changing the brand so they fit in with other cattle.  For the girls that don't ride or are scared of horses, we need you as back up in a 4 wheel drive Tahoe to follow in case something happens to us.  We have got to stop this whole cattle rustling before it puts these ranches out of business.  For this particular job ladies we are going to forget how we dress, walk, look, eat, burp, our only thoughts are get the job done and then we will not only get our money but we may also be able to swing a mini vacation in the bahamas.  So as MissS says tighten up that helmet, hat, heart or whatever you got and lets get this job done.

Here is part of the ranch so we have a lot of ground to cover

Here is Spar and Harley on our way to check out the northeast corner of the ranch

Harley44

Harley thought she saw something, hiding behind a bush, but Spar said it was just a bunny, frightened by all the noise we made as we approached. 

Then, as we rounded the corner, suddenly....

Marple

Lo and behold it was Sharon.  Dressed to the nines, riding side saddle and ready to go.

 She was mostly there for show as she really didn't want to get her duds all dusty and dirty.  To be honest, she was also there because she knew she could outshoot them all in case things got a little dangerous.    

spar2

Spar got on her radio to call in all the girls, there is a truck and trailer backing into the northwest corner, so we need to slowly all head that way, keep out of site and then follow.  That is the plan. Sharon decided she better sit on her horse like a cowboy and took off, not caring about her clothes in all the excitement.  Leaf and Barbi were already there so they got the video camera going capturing it all on film.  Out of the back of that trailer came 2 cowboys on horses and rounded up the cattle and got them in the trailor and took off.  We were all behind them. WOW, they took them only about 5 miles down the road to a huge barn and unloaded them all.  We decided to hang around until they all leave and go in and see what it looked like.  Sharon said she thought it was time to call in the Sheriff.........

Harley44

so she took her cell phone out of her shirt pocket, and dialed her friend, Sheriff Miss S.!!   No one knew that Miss S. was a Sheriff!  In fact, that is what the S. stands for!! 

toyful

Now although Sharon is the brains of the bunch, she was slightly confused about the Sheriff. Miss S was the helmet-wearing co-detective, not the Sheriff. The Sheriff in this particular Montana county was none other than Sheriff Opie. He had grown up in Mayberry, but had moved to Montana when he became a sheriff like his daddy had dun. Opie arrived on the scene, questioned the cowboys, and then immediately arrested them on suspicion of horse wrangling. Opie was thrilled with the Case Closed Detective Agency and gave them each the entire 1st season of the Andy Griffith show on DVD to take home with them. Opie also mentioned that he knew of case a further bit West, in Seattle Town, that they might want to pursue. He gave them the number for Michelle Toyful, who was having problems discovering....

spar2

exactly what was happening in the town of Seattle.  We took our DVD's and flew home since this case was closed and awaited word from toyful about her problem.  We had several calls for appts.  One was a lady wanting us to follow and spy on her husband, she thought he was cheating and she wanted pictures.  One was a parent with a missing daughter.  We are getting big enough now we could split up in groups to solve these cases and we always have our computer expert in the office.  so girls, want a trip to the bahamas or want to solve some more cases and make some more money and help some more people? ........

toyful

Michelle Toyful contacted the agency to inform them of her problem. She had a friend who lived on an island near Seattle who had been married to her husband for 15 years and had a 6 year old child. This friend of Michelle's was named Stephanie. Lately Stephanie had started to suspect that her husband might have more going on his life than she had been aware of. Her first clue was that her husband, who was a professor at a nearby University and collected quite a good salary, had been complaining that Stephanie needed to go back to work because he was very concerned about their finances. Her husband was in charge of the family finances. All she knew was that he made $7000 per month and their only debt was a $1200 per month mortgage. Stephanie was complaining to Michelle how she felt so guilty not being able to find a job when Michelle pointed out that something is missing from this picture. Like, where is the other $4800 per month going? Michelle asked the agency if they could follow the husband, Mike, and find out what he was doing during the day or if they could delve into the finances and see what they could find.

Miss S decided that she would get her friend, Harley, and stake out the guy for a few days to see where he was spending his time. It shouldn't take too long to find out a few things. Miss S has a pink camera that matches her helmet, and also makes her blend in as a tourist.

Spar and Sharon would see how much info they could get on his bank accounts and other assets. They have ways to make people talkative.

spar2

Spar and Sharon found out (not legally) through bank accounts that Mike was putting away $3000 a month in a savings account so either he was planning on taking off with all the money and starting a new life or he was planning a huge surprise for Michelle.  We just weren't sure yet.  We decided to interview some of his friends and see if they had any info at the university......

Marple

But suddenly Sharon thought.........phooey to that notion.  Her ex was the president of the bank where Mike was stashing the money.  Her ex was not above helping out as long as there was something in it for him.  So, the girls were in a dilema........should they pay off Sharon's ex to empty the account or...........

 Edit to say, Sharon isn't the best speller.

toyful

Meanwhile, Miss S & Harley spent a day spying on Mike. He took the ferry into Seattle in the morning and arrived at the University by 8am. At 8:45am he changed locations and headed towared a lecture hall. He left the lecture hall again at 10:30. From the lecture hall, he got in his car and drove north for 5 miles and stopped at a cute 1920s bungalow house in a quaint old neighborhood. He was met at the front door by a young woman in her 20s holding a baby. He went inside. Miss S put her pink camera with the very long telescopic lens to good use, getting shots of Mike and the young woman and baby eating lunch at a nook in the kitchen. He does not seem particularly happy.

Marple

Seeing as it was his sister he was having lunch with and she was blackmailing him.  He either had to pay up or else she.was going to share his secret...........

toyful

Now that is an evil sister! But these are hard economic times and since the sister was a single mother, she decided that blackmail was her best option. After Mike left the premises, he went back to the University and stayed there until  4pm. At 4pm, he drove 1 hour north to a casino. At 6pm, he headed back to the ferry and returned to his wife and children by 7:30. Stephanie reported to Michelle who reported to Miss S & Harley that when Mike got home that evening he asked if Stephanie got a job yet and was quite angry to hear that she had stayed home with their son the whole day. So Miss S and Harley discussed their day and came to the conclusion that...

there was still something going on that we didn't know about.  He seemed to be faithful, maybe he was being blackmailed about his gambling problem or maybe he was saving the money for it he lost big time.  We talked to his wife and she knew nothing of his gambling, she said he had never mentioned it and they had never gone together.  She said she would rather it be gambling that another woman.  Spar decided to actually go talk with him.  Spar told him she knew about his gambling and we had proof that his sister was blackmailing him.  He stood up and screamed and now you want to blackmail me! I kept saying no you have it wrong but he wouldn't listen.  He said I quit, I give up, gambling is the reason my sister can blackmail me, it would upset my wife very much and I love her.  I told him if he loved her he had a weird way of showing it.  He finally told me he was saving to take a year off work and take her on around the world trip and he needed her to work and help save but didn't want to tell her.  I told him the best thing he could do is open communication.  We typed up our report which said Case Closed.  Where are we going next.  We will have to go back to the office and go through the files.  Boy are we good and we were getting a good reputation.  When we got back to the office to check out what kind of calls had come in, I walked into MissS office and doubled over laughing, she had a whole bookcase of pink helmets, pink snorkeling equip, pink cameras, she was ready for anything in pink. 

Marple

LOL, holy crap Spar........too funny.  I wouldn't have believed a word that scoundrel said.  LOLOL.......I needed a good laugh.

Marple

I hope we were paid in cash.

We got a client today that has a health care worker staying with her elderly mother.  Her mothers bank account keeps getting lower and lower and some of her jewelry and silver are missing.  She want us to investigate.  MissS and Sharon went over to set up camera in each room while the healthcare worker took Mrs. Smith to her dr.'s appt. We set it up so we could monitor it 24/7 on our computers.  We were shocked to see.............

Anonymous

the big wide screen TV with an xbox 360 hooked up to it. Did Grandma have some young friends, perhaps? The house was full of beautiful antiques, as well.

Later on after they got back to the office, they noticed the elderly mother taking her own jewelry and hiding it. She even flushed one necklace down the toilet. Clearly, she was not in her right might. We even witnessed her taking canned goods and hiding them under her mattress. How uncomfortable that must be while dreaming! Could she be doing something with her own money, too? Hmmmm....

Harley44

Spar wants to do some research, to make sure that the health care worker isn't taking her mom's money.  She also thinks it might be a good idea to have the Mother checked out for Alzheimer's, and at least have someone watch her, to make sure she doesn't flush any more valuables down the toilet!!!

spar2

We showed Mrs. Smiths daughter the video and she started crying and decided to have her mom tested for Alzheimers.  We would keep on taping to see if anything else happens.  She decided to stay a week with her mom and let the health care worker have a week off just to see how it went..........

toyful

As the videotape continued to roll, it became apparent that Mrs. Smith was indeed sabotaging her own belongings. One time when Mrs. Smith went out for about 45 minutes, when she returned she had an envelope with her that contained many cash bills. She took a claw hammer and pried a piece of panelling from the wall. From there, she pulled out a fancy tin box and stuffed her cash into that and then put the box back inside the wall, and nailed it shut with 1 nail. Then she went and laid on her recliner with a dissatisfied look on her face.

spar2

We showed all the videos to her daughter and she paid us by a check and decided to go ahead and put her in an assisted living apartment.  Case Closed.

(Guys, I have to confess something)  There really was an agency called case closed and they really did close all their cases, my grandson was kidnapped when he was 4 years old and the case closed people found him and took some pictures with them of us so he wouldn't be scared and brough him home.  they fell in love with him and bought him a jacket that said case closed on the back.  So this is not just fiction for me.  Okay, now lets start some fiction

We have a new client, her name is May, she was raped and the police have given up on trying to find the man who did this to her.  He broke into her home by cutting out a piece of the glass and coming through the window.  She knows he is 5"11", chubby, white, with dark brown hair and dark brown eyes.  He had on a mask but his hair was long enough to stick out in places.  He also told her he would be back monthly.  So we need to set up a plan.  Sharon and MissS do you have any ideas.  Leaf, Harley, and Spar will work together to come up with some ideas.....

This case makes Toyful mad and she wants to get it solved as soon as possible and move on. So she hightailed it down to the Deep Fried Twinkie Restaurant. She started her questioning with the Chef. She asked the Chef if he had seen anybody suspicious hanging around the restaurant. Chef reported that there was this one guy who comes in often, orders a deep fried twinkie and a Mocha Choco Latte with Whip Cream and then sits in a booth and watches the goings on for about 3 hours once a week. Toyful asked for a description which the Chef said was, "tall, dark haired and fat."

Harley44

BINGO!  We have found our man!   The chef knows that the guy's name is Tony Minero, and he comes in there just about every weekday morning, for coffee and breakfast. 

Toyful decided to stake out the Deep Fried Twinkie Restaurant.  Spar and Harley went to the police crime records dept., to look for the perp., to see if he has any priors.  We looked up Tony Minero, and while the computer was searching....
