“You’re late,” Victoria scolded Mike as he wheeled himself
into the front door of the Moonlight Detective Agency.
“With good reason!” Derrick walked in a few feet behind him
and stood beside the door as Mike rolled to his desk. “I found a stray.”
“What did I tell you about that, Mikey? We’re not zoned for
dogs.”
“Ouch. You know, a guy with an ego as big as mine is bound
to take that kind of thing to heart, Victoria. And to think I even stopped by a
florist to grab these,” Derrick frowned as he brandished a bountiful bouquet of
red roses. “I guess I’ll just have to find some other woman worthy of my shower
of affection!” He turned for the door and stopped with a smirk as Victoria’s
voice sounded off behind him.
