‘Sure, I can do that
for you,’ Detective Stewart said. ‘Shall I
meet you somewhere?’
‘In the park by the children’s playground.
On the way to the meeting Detective Stewart was
thinking, ‘There’s no way this is going to
happen.’ Was this woman serious? Perhaps it was
his friends in the police playing a joke on him.
But when he got to the
park, Tammy was waiting.
Where's Bubbles?
‘Have you got the
stuff?’ Tammy asked.
Detective Stewart nodded. ‘$40,’
He took the money from Banks and gave her a bag of
methamphetamine. Or so she thought.
Tammy smiled and relaxed. ‘So where is Bubbles
this morning?’ she asked. ‘He’s not
in bed is he?’
Detective Stewart began to laugh. ‘No, he’s
at an interview.’
Not so sweet
For the first time Tammy
realised something wasn’t right. ‘An
interview? With who?’
‘The police,’ said Detective Stewart.
Tammy opened her bag. She now saw that it did not
contain her favourite drug. Instead there were white
peppermint sweets.
‘I wish they were all that easy,’ said
Detective Stewart after he arrested the 41 year-old
from Sedalia, Missouri.
