For the gals, the case lasted through the weekend – they missed out on the sale!
"Great! We spend a weekend saving the economy, and we miss the biggest sale of the year!" grouses Clover at school Monday.
"I know, Clover! But think how expensive everything would have been if Myster's plan had succeeded!" says Sam soothingly.
"You're right, Sam! But it just doesn't seem fair!"
All of the sudden, Alex approaches the gals. She has three envelopes in her hand.
"Hey girlfriends! Jerry asked me to deliver these to you!" Alex hands an envelope to Sam and to Clover.
"What's in these?" asks Clover.
"I don't know! I haven't opened mine yet! Jerry asked that we open them together!"
The gals look at one another with quizzical looks on their faces and open the envelopes. The contents bring big smiles to their faces.
"LOOK! These are purchase cards good for $500 at the Mall!" squeals Clover with delight.
"And they're good at any store!" adds a happy Sam.
"We may have missed the sale, but this is WAY better!" says an exuberant Alex.
There is a note in the envelopes from Jerry, which reads:
"Sorry you had to miss the sale at the Mall. Hopefully these purchase cards can properly show my appreciation for the fine job you did on the last mission!
Enjoy!
/s/ Jerry"
The gals all pull out their new compowders and call Jerry.
"Yes, ladies?"
"Jerry! You rock! Thank you!" says Sam.
"Totally! Thanks, Jer!" says Clover.
"You're the best, Jerry!" adds Alex.
"Well, I'm glad you like the gifts. Enjoy! By the way spies, confidentially, I know there is going to be a 50 percentoff sale this Saturday only, as a Mall appreciation day! It won't be advertised!"
"WOW!" exclaims a happy Alex.
"Thanks, Jerry!" says a happy Sam.
"You rule!!" says a happy Clover.
The gals eagerly look forward to this upcoming weekend! Saturday should be fantastic! $500 each to spend, and 50 percentoff – it's like they died and went to heaven!
