This chapter is specially dedicated to my one and only reviewer, leftyguitar. Isn't the update SOON? The next chapter may be dedicated to YOU!
It was none other than Stella Bonasera, who had just flown in from the land of fish roe with some white roses in her hands when she heard the news. An interesting fact about Miss Bonasera is that she had just beaten Lindsey Monroe, no connection whatsoever to Marilyn Monroe, in a Lowest Cut (for Top) contest back at the lab. It was a very close shave between the two detectives after Jane was disqualified from the competition for wearing a coat most of the time, even though the coat accentuated her figure. Maybe next time, Jane.
"No!"Stella whispered softly as she made her way to the middle of the ice rink. "Oh, what woe! And here I have some fish roe for Mac!" She sniffled and wiped her nose with the roses. "And I see he had some gin for you," exclaimed the now shivering Hawkes, ignoring the fact that he was stating something so obvious. "Sure," spat Danny, staring evilly at Stella. "Save the good gin for the ladies!" He started cooing Flack, who was, at this time, a rat. Evidently he was trying to erase the envious feeling that had crept up to him so unwillingly. Hmm. Does Mister Messer have a crush on his boss? Is it acceptable for one to think in such a way, even though the king of New York is arguably the most handsome of them all?
Meanwhile, Lindsey surfed in with a smooth flow on her Sun, which was the name of her surfboard. She surfed on the now melting ice. Why is the ice melting, you ask? Well, it could be due to the warm temperature of the enclosed ice rink and the obvious lack of a Zamboni.
The always-ready-to-have-fun country girl was having some ferns in her hair, which she immediately took out as a sign of respect and left it at Mac's side, brushing the horses' mane. "Now this is something new," She said, straightening up. What she hadn't noticed was that Stella was now eyeing her enviously; as Lindsey had openly flirted with the king of New York several times already.
When Lindsey turned away to check out Flackie, who was now being squished to death due to cuteness by Danny, Stella immediately took out a box of matches and lighted them. Pulling the ferns away from her dearly beloved, she tossed the matches with them and watched it writher away in a most sadistic manner. Sigh. The things investigators do for love.
The ferns were almost fully combusted on the ice when suddenly…BANG!
To be continued…
