Jane’s Coconuts Gentlemen’s Club. Somewhere over the bridge. 2:13 P.M.


Spanky, like most mobsters, has the sort of security that looks big and dumb in a suit, so it only takes a couple of seconds to make their way in to see the boss. He tries some monkey business, but a little wrist-watch grappling gun action is enough to put an end to those plans.

Then, like most super-intelligent lowland gorillas the Middleman has encountered, Spanky complains that "Just when I thought I was out, they puuuull me back in!". He even tosses in the requisite hand gestures. And, predictably, he makes a break for it.

"Jeepers," the Middleman says mildly as Spanky rips off his shirt, beats his chest, and takes off through the back door. For a super-intelligent gorilla Spanky didn't seem all that smart. After all, the Middleman and his trusty sidekick were hot on the monkey's heels as they ran down the alleyway behind the club.

The Italian restaurant is liberally surrounded with "Police Scene. Do Not Cross" tape. The tall man in the Eisenhower jacket walks right past it and opens the door. Apparently the police have accounted for this possibility as there is an overweight man in a patrolman's uniform with a donut in one hand and an almost empty donut box in the other. He looks up, hand frozen halfway to his mouth.

"Can I help you?"

The Middleman flashes an easy grin. "FBI," he explains, flashing a badge. "Night shift."

The cop nods in acceptance, then holds out the donut box. "Donut?"

The Middleman shakes his head in disapproval. "That would ruin my appetite, officer."

This draws a blink, a shrug, and a thoughtful donut munch or two. The Middleman has already dismissed the officer and is walking slowly around the restaurant examining things through an odd black device of some sort.
