24.

Deal or No Deal

It was about 10:00 in the morning. Nice

and cool outside; not many cloud either. In the

Denny's at the corner of 5th and Pittsburgh was a

mild mannered man who was inhaling pancake

after pancake. Across from him was a beautiful

young woman. Which you wouldn't think she was

related to the pig across from her. But she was

and had to deal with his five days a week and if

Exactly why I need you, you got the tactics and I

got the weapons. Plus family has to look out for
