I looked at the files as I settled in my office. There was the house mover one that Connie had told me about. As I punched his name into the database and started to pull together his information, I looked at the other one. A bank in downtown Trenton had been robbed. When the robber had asked for the money, she was told that she couldn't take out that much money without some identification. The robber handed over her driver's license.

So apparently they both had leaks in their think tanks. I thought they would be suitable for Lula and me to do. After all, how difficult would it be to capture two people who made such colossal mistakes?

I finished printing their files, made capture plans, and affixed them to the inside of their folders when Ranger came into my office. He placed a large file on my desk. "This is a large account", he said. "There are just over two hundred employees to research as we get the corporate account set up. Do you have time to do the work?"

"I do. I only have two files for Vinnie to research, but in both cases the felons are as bright as Alaska in December. I'll start working on your files after dinner."

"I have to work this evening as well, to make up the time after being out of the office today for so long looking for Dickie."

"Is he sitting nice and tight with Ramon?"

"He is. I purposely picked Ramon because he was the most mild-mannered person we have on staff. I told Dickie that he wouldn't have a person answering the door who could scare the pants off the visitor but, if he was comfortable not being as protected as he would with Hector, Ramon could look after him. I stressed that Ramon was more than capable of doing the job and that Dickie should listen to him, but that it wouldn't be as good for him to have Ramon there since he didn't look as scary."

"Idiot. There's another person who is a few Fruit Loops short of a bowl. Did you want to do a workout?"

Ranger paused. "I think that's the first time you have ever asked me whether I would like to do a workout."

"I figured that, after the day you've had, you might need one."

Ranger smiled. "That's true, and any time I can become all hot and sweaty with you is sure to improve my mood."

I smiled. As much as I didn't want to admit it, it was sure to improve my mood as well.
