Duke’s diabolic grin

Does their state of undress mean that there was a hookup?

He’ll teach her—THE he’ll blackmail her for his silence! Best that she just takes her information to the authorities. Who knows, there may be a multi-million dollar book deal out of al this!

“Just a Houston housewife” careful Duke, don’t become the mark.

“…As fate would have it…”

Duke loves a challenge.

In his dreams of grandeur…

What all the gold diggers want, Duke included.

Fish On!

She has the king of scammers there who is willing and able to give pointers and assist her, for a percentage cut of the takings, of course. Duke has never passed up a mark.

He sees a mark – she sees a sucker she can play.

i think she’s more right than he is.

She’s playing him like a fiddle, just like she did Jimbo

Okay,who’s the killjoy that drew in t he towels?

We might add that if Duke was a successful blackmailer he wouldn’t have to hang around Trump these days for coffee and cake money

Wait until Duke shows her his PH.D.s in Blackmail (and Forgery).

Damsel in distress, Gee, no cliches here! ;-)

Like H.R. Puffnstuff, Duke can’t do a little ‘cause he can’t do enough…..

When in doubt, call in a professional.

To paraphrase Gibbs Rule #5, You don’t waste evil.

Y’know….you just never know the suffering of others. How DO they endure?

Don’t fret. Duke loves a good evil scheme. He may settle for 20% of the net if he really has fun.

She seems pretty good at manipulating.
