    Good morningā„¢, everyone!

    Sue Reel is like, ā€œNobody tells me anything.ā€ Sheā€™s right, actually. She didnā€™t really participate in planning the crime. She believes Artā€™s lie that Paul Chandler is still alive. Iā€™m sure that Lee knows that Paul is dead.

    ā€œYou know, Paul? Whoā€™s of course totally alive as far as innocent little olā€™ me knows. That Paul.ā€

    Good morningā„¢, deluded dimbulbs !

    Suzy Q. is so behind on Artā€™s dealings. She is surely or very nearly so, going to walk or at least get off light since she is helping the po po and there doesnā€™t really seem to be much that she can get hung up or over on.

    ā€œAnd your role in this ā€˜DaVinci jobā€™ was what, exactly?ā€

    ā€œTo know just enough information about the plan to feed Dick Tracy another effortless win while being detached enough from the crime to retain audience sympathy. Honestly, I thought it was kind of strange that Art felt the team needed a useless traitor for the job, but he just kept saying he didnā€™t get this far by fostering loyalty or common sense, so what can you do?ā€

    I donā€™t believe Art ever told Sue that Chandler was dead, at least not on camera. So I think sheā€™s being pretty straightforward here.

    Didnā€™t she ever hear the phrase ā€œDead men tell no tales?ā€

    Oh my gosh! Sue doesnā€™t know that Paul has been snuffed out. Tomorrow they will tell herā€¦then sheā€™ll go into shock.

    Now it can be toldā€¦Art kept her in the dark about his other activities with the exception of the Da Vinci thing. His slogan must be the less my comrades knowā€¦the less the authorities wonā€™t have all the dots to connect me with anything.

    Once I drag my lazy self out of bed (in my defense itā€™s only 6:45am and Iā€™ve been awake for less than 40 minutesā€¦.dont judge me lol) Iā€™m going to post chapter seven of Trouble In Paradise on my message board

    I re-read the first 6 chapters and in the beginning I realized that I may have made a mistake by having tracy respond to the call from Eikoā€¦but then I noticed that I set the wrestling match for two weeks after the introduction, so chronologically he would be thereā€¦but Sam is still in chargeā€¦.something I will address in chapter 7 later this morning

    I also realized that I unintentionally left the storyline on Tracyā€™s vacation danglingā€¦so that will probably end up being a ā€œflashback storyā€ for the next one after Trouble In Paradise wraps up

    The TRUE mastermind is arch-baker and counterfeiter Vincent Van Dough. Who, in his everyday identity fights a never ending battle for lies, profits and anchovy pizza with little pineapple chunks shaped like friendly little poodles on thee top. Maybe with a sprinkling of Red Hots.

    Hey, donā€™t blame ME! HEā€™S the sicko. Poodles. Brrrr!

    Mike clearly has gotten to like Art and Sue and is trying to finagle ways to extend their story and/or set things up so they could plausibly return in the future.

    1-SUE: Hi Lee. Nice to see you againā€¦

    2-ā€¦about that ā€œmustache rideā€ you enjoyed while we waited to see if Tracyā€¦ LEE: SHADDAP! Theyā€™re listening!

    3-SUE: Oh! Gotcha! Who are you? Whatā€™s your name? Can we go get a coffee and discuss where our relationship is going? OOPS!

    BLAM BLAM BLAM!

    LEE: She was coming over the table! I had to protect myself!

    TRACY THROUGH INTERCOM: Youā€™re not supposed to have a gun in an interview and the suspect shouldā€™ve been cuffed to the table. Remind me to schedule a protocol meeting, Sam. Sam? Whereā€™s Sam???

    Maybe itā€™s just the ā€œkinder and gentler natureā€ of the modern strip,but Lee seems to have a talent for EASING facts out ofpeople rather than breaking out the old rubber hose.

    They should pipe Dekkoā€™s interrogation into Sueā€™s cubicle so shecan see how much he ā€œcaresā€ about her.

    The judge sentences Art Dekko to 20 years at hard labor.

    Dekko saysā€”-"Iā€™m a wealthy society crook.Whatā€™s ā€˜hard laborā€™?

    The question has been frequently asked about Sue Reelā€™s mustache, OK , I heard it said by a person not authorized to comment, when she goes out on the town she puts pretty pink bows on both sides of it!

    Todayā€™s installment would make a lot more sense if we knew what transpired in that first conversation, or interview, between Tracy and Sue. But Mike didnā€™t see fit to let us in on any of that ā€“ so we donā€™t really know why Sue thought of calling Tracy when Art started to lose it. What did Tracy tell her in that first conversation? Something that might have put her on alert? Why must we constantly speculate about these things?

    Sue Reel is either a very good liar or a genuinely naive blonde (with a disgusting mustache). She professes, in effect, to know nothing beyond the initial ā€œda Vinciā€ scheme. If she is telling the truth, she may escape prosecution, or at least get off with no significant amount of jail time. Can Lee Ebony determine whether Sue is telling her the truth (or not)? Will she let Reel know about the so-far mysterious murder of Paul Chandler? Cui bono?

    OT: Youā€™ll be glad to know Iā€™ve put Yeti to bed, so to speak. Just finished the second of three book in the series, and in the final one, he cameos as a lowly flunky for a revenge-driven fiend. Think Iā€™ll make him the palace toilet cleaner.
