Plum's Payoff

by FonzFan82

Stephanie Plum was broke so when her boss gives her a job she jumps at it. Perhaps she could have looked first. It had strings attached, but first, Ranger is assigned to go with her and second, it's not in New Jersey as usual. When they get to Milwaukee they find their FTA looks the fine, upstanding citizen that reported the case. Or is he upstanding as he appears.

The next day at breakfast, Joanie asked Fonzie all sorts of questions about the robbery.

"Joanie," Howard said.

"What, Dad? I'm just curious."

"Maybe Fonzie doesn't want to share all the details," Howard told his daughter.

Marion understood what her husband had just said.

"You did the right thing by reporting this, Fonzie. Did you get any reply yet?" Howard asked.

"Of course I did, Mr. C. A couple of bondsmen are coming here to Milwaukee to take the robber back home and put him in the slammer," Fonzie answered.

"Are these bondsmen from Milwaukee?" Joanie asked.

"Are these bondsmen from Milwaukee?" Joanie asked.

"I think this time is a bit different, Shortcake. They are from some place else."

"What do you mean by 'somewhere else,' Fonz?" Joanie asked.

"I was told they are coming by airplane. They happen to be from New Jersey," Fonzie answered.

"Good luck to them. Maybe now this robber you reported would've been out of the state by now," Howard said.

"You could be right, Mr. C. I never really thought about the robber leaving the state when two bondsmen are on his trail."

"I sure hope this won't be too dangerous for the bondsmen to catch that person," Marion said.

"So do I, Mrs. C. I am also interested how they are going to do this myself. I want to see if these two bondsmen are the ones their boss sent them for," Fonzie agreed.

One thing the Fonz was going to find out for himself that one bondsman was a woman.
