The first Centennial Edition of Sydney the Sneak.
Sydney the Sneak, a notorious cat-burglar was skulking along Lovejoy when she heard someone approaching. A voice rang out "I've got you now - you scum-bag!"
Being a cocky upstart in the underworld, she turned and exclaimed
| "What?" |
|
|
"You talking to me?"
|
 |
| "Do you know who I am?" |
 |
Detective Dan approached with gun raised. "You make a move and it will be your last!"
| "Ok. Don't hurt me big-detective man" she sarcastically responded. |
 |
The detective reached into his breast coat pocket and pulled out a photo of the 100 carat diamond stolen this past week from Tiffany's. "Have you seen this before... say... when you stole it?"
| "I have never seen that before in my life!" |
 |
|
"Are you suggesting that I could have possibly stolen the diamond? I couldn't have done that.",
Sydney responded innocently.
|
 |
Detective Dan nodded "You were seen on the corner of 5th and Main at 12:00am. Precisely 10 minutes after the robbery only 2 blocks away!"
| "You really think I did it? " |
 |
"Do you have a good explanation for why you were at that location?", Dan asked.
| "Of course I do! Let me explain it to you." |
 |
She proceeded to weave the sad tale of her sick grandmother who had played the role of mother to her and her 12 siblings. Sydney was out getting medicine to relive her grandmother's botox injection pain. The only pharmacy in the area that sold the special medicine that didn't interact with the botox was on the corner of 6th and Main.
"So you admit to being in the vicinity, walking away from the robbery" accused the detective.
|
"Didn't you hear me?"
She exploded defensively. "My grandmother is sick and NEEDS that medicine!"
|
 |
She caught herself and in a flirtatious tone of voice she continued,
| "Why would a big-strong detective like you expect a dainty female as myself capable of robbing Tiffany's?" |
 |
The detective turned red... "Well, don't think that you're going to get away with it... I'll be keeping my eye on you!"
|
As he walked away a little cackle could be heard, "You'll never find that diamond!"
