Read 'Em and Weep

I was sort of hiding from two guys who either thought we were in business together or who wanted to kill me. Sort of hiding because I could have left town and been relatively safe but Las Vegas NV has so many wonderful things to see and do that I decided to go to a topless rollerskating show instead. Sort of hiding because I was fairly sure that the guys in question would take Door Number Two and try to shoot me a lot.</p>Why me? I'm T. R. Macdonald a sort-of unemployed broker/analyst from the boutique - we handle a small number of very rich clients - firm of Fields Smith and Barkman. My sort-of girlfriend Kandi had asked me to go to Vegas to see if I could talk to her cousin Chet because she thinks his adoptive father Dr. Woodrow Shaw may be nuts. Are you getting all this? There will be a quiz. Dr. Shaw asked me to go too and he offered to pay.</p>It sounded like easy money.<br>So I went.<br>I must be nuts.</p>
