Operation Thaw

--Chapter 10--

"Yo."

"Miss Plum? That isn't a very polite way to answer the phone."

"Loretta? Oh, I'm sorry. Bad phone manners are a hazard of the job."

"Ok dear. I just wanted to call and ask how things are with Shane?"

"I had a great time last night. He is handsome and funny. We're going on a real date tomorrow. I don't know what we're doing yet. He said it was a surprise."

"Do you think he is your match? Or would you be interested in other possibilities?"

"Well, I really like him, but it is early to tell. Why?"

"We had a new bachelor join yesterday. You're a 96% match for him." Steph audibly sucked in her breath. "I know; it is quite amazing! I have never seen a score so high. Would you like to see the man's profile?"

"Yes, please!!"


"Hey, Tank, I need to talk to you."

"What's up Lester?"

"So some chick scored a 96% match at Exclusive Services to Marc Pardo."

"Ok, yeah, so?"

"So, Ric answered all the questionnaires honestly."

"Uh, huh, still not getting the point, Lester."

"Did you know that Stephanie had a date yesterday?"

"Yes. Again, what's the point Lester?"

"I decided we should find out who this 96% match was so I had Silvio hack their system."

"Uh-huh....getting bored, Lester."

"Ric's 96% match is Stephanie."

"Holy shit."

"Uh, huh. Think we should tell him?"

"Hell no! Let's see where this goes."
