Title: Doghouse?
Rating: G
Spoilers/Warning: This is just something I came up with and I haven't really been reading much of JE's works, so the characters may be a little out of character. Feel free to give me hints on how to make them more in character if it bothers you.
Disclaimer: These characters are Janet Evanovich's. I'm just playing with them. I'm not making any money off of this.
Hmm... What's This? A little black book? Oh my god it has like hundreds of women in it with articles of clothing next to their names. "Steph, " Mary Lou screams. " Is this what you were looking for?"
"I don't know what is it?" Steph asks, wandering over to where Mary Lou was standing.
"I'm really not sure, myself. It has two columns. One appears to be a list of female names and the other appears to be a list of articles of clothing."
"Really?"
"Yes." Mary Lou hands Steph the little black book. "Here, look for yourself."
Why would he leave something like this lying around? I mean anybody could see it and it might make it back to Harry if it wound up in the wrong person's hand. I mean the ducks are bad enough, but pink flannel pajamas and Joyce? I mean, really, what is he thinking? He'd be lucky if the only result was that he ended up in the doghouse with Lucille.
Noticing Steph zone out, Mary Lou asks "Umm...Steph? Why are we doing this again?"
"I needed more blackmail material on him. I think this should certainly work. Let's get out of here before we get caught."
"Ok. I'll go get the car."
Mary Lou brings the car around and Steph hops in.
"Did you notice what was by Joyce's name?"
"Yeah, pink flannel pajamas."
Pretty soon they both look at each other and burst out laughing. "Who would have ever thought that Joyce would have/be seen in pink flannel pajamas?"
Steph convulses in laughter as Mary Lou tries her hardest to keep them on the road, before finally giving up and pulling over to the side of the road to wait until they can stop laughing before returning home.
