The Plot Thickens

Lou put the players into play

This has been such a strange day

First Shamus, then Buck, then Enzo

Now Bruce. It's enough to think

A girl's got a screw or two loose.


Still it was interesting to see

How well Bruce played along

So effortlessly.

With just a simple smirk

He understood. 

Now, that's teamwork!


Lou set the bate

Mentioning the diamonds and hotel

It seemed her ploy for Enzo fell

Yet Enzo finding Bruce second rate

Wanted to set up a second date


He scribbles,

"Ah signorina , you must forgive me.

It's time I get back to work you see.

Signor Ger, Is getting ready.

Will I have the pleasure of seeing you?

Perhaps without your friend Bruce?"


"What without me?

Who does he think he..."


Enzo wrote to Bruce right quick.

"I, Enzo, know who I am,

thank you very much,

signor sidekick."


Lou had to admit

She was impressed

Bruce took the hit

Yet she could tell it stung his pride.


"No worries," Lou teased.

"Enzo is smart enough to see

I just keep you on the side.

For some... extra curricular activities."


"Extra curricular activities?"

Bruce's smirk he did not hide.

His look held hope and promise.


"Until next we meet again, signorina."

Enzo scribbled

He gave Lou's hand a kiss.


Enzo moved on.

"You think he fell for our ploy?"


Bruce had a wicked grin,

"Sorry, still thinking about that other thing."


"Dream on, Cowboy."


"Come on, Lou. No need to play coy."


With a roll of her eyes, she said, 

"You ready to ride?"

Yet, it grated Lou's nerves

that his company

She was starting to enjoy.

Her own smirk

She found hard to hide.
