    Good morning™ everybody!

    I wonder where he’s going to come up with $5 million. Very nice clock to show us that it’s 8:00 at night. It even has Father Time on the top of it.

    It’s clearly in Borden’s interest to keep this out of the paper, judging by his reaction. There was much discussion in yesterday’s comment about a wife, but no wife has been mentioned. What has been mentioned is that:

    05/26 “Neither the fans nor the league will stand for it!”

    06/23 The evidence is: “Something with great interest for many. Such as, say, the commissioner.”

    It’s not any wife, but the league commissioner that Borden is afraid of. Why his behaviour is unacceptable to the league hasn’t really been explained well, since we don’t really know what in his behaviour is unacceptable. Is he married? Who is this woman who visits his office? We are not clear on that.

    This story could use a curve ball. For only $500,000 the victim hires Rikki Mortis and Fata Morgana to do away with the blackmailer and his henchbabes.

    Borden certainly seems much more pulled together, instead of the helpless wreck he was previously. Wonder if he has something up his sleeve…

    Good morning™, Confidently Cocky Crooks !

    Will this be Gabe’s greatest heist yet ?  Borden is definitely a different man today. He wants to see the ‘pitch’ before giving his (lead filled ?) response.

    Love the shadowing in P.3. which serves to add dramatic impact and the old throwback clock in P.1. says we are meeting at the paper.

    Five million? I was saying that the blackmail could pay for a lot of hard men to make sure Gabriel isn’t a problem, but a small fraction of that could.

    After being told that amount of money, the guy in white would have been bashed in the head with a paper weight. However, he looks too heavy to drag around.

    Mutton Chops has a lot of crust——and how do you keep 5 million payments off the team’s books?

    And I’ll admit he looks downright evil today

    Ok, after all the disjointed scene cuts, i had to go back to 19-May to read the entire story from the beginning. It is well written!

    I DO believe that the worm WILL turn and turn the tables on Gabe…

    so many here have hazarded that guess that no one poster can be able to claim the honor with a “GUESSED IT FIRST!”…

    let’s see who will IF Bordy DOES decide to turn said tables…

    Another Take  4 months ago

    1-CLOCK: Sigh. Like cursive writing, it won’t be long before no one will even know what I’m trying to convey…

    2-GABRIEL HORNBLOWER: May I offer you a drink? A snack? BORDEN: NO! People have “relations” on their desks so I’m not about to drink or eat off one that hasn’t been thoroughly wiped down by my secretary!

    3-GABRIEL: No concerns about that sir! I’ve only done that five times in the decades I’ve had this desk. I’m sure any signs of those activities have long since been rubbed away. BORDEN: Well, if you’re sure, I’ll have a soda in a clean glass.

    GABRIEL: I can’t speak to the cleanliness of the glass. BORDEN: Just the can then. GABRIEL: You’d be surprised what Cherry does with those cans… BORDEN: NOTHING THEN!!!!

    For $5 million, I could buy our Mr Gabriel a nice red shirt from BigMensShop.com, & a few guys to demonstrate what the new shirt is for.

    Outstanding artwork on that clock AND the shadows in p2 and p3. Love the shadows of the window lattice, especially as they break from the bookshelf’s edge to the wall.
