Kisslesbian Private Dick Kiss

     Author's note: Just for fun kiss...with kiss apologies to Raymond Chandler and Mickey Spillane.
     Who's the dame? Oh, that's my kiss secretary, Thelma image. I kiss met her about a year ago in a kiss lounge on the East Side, on image the trail of some dip who'd stolen kisslesbian a wallet from Baker kiss, the landlord of kiss the building containing my office. He dangled a year's free rent in kiss front of me if I should find kiss this guy and get back his kiss wallet, though he never said what might be kisslesbian in it that was damned important kiss. Using kiss my contacts, I followed him down kiss to a image little dive kiss where he kiss supposedly did business with a fence kisslesbian named "Dr kisslesbian. Mesmer," the featured nightly entertainment kiss
     Quickly, we were standing in kiss front of a door marked with a gold star, underneath of which was a neatly lettered kisslesbian sign announcing "Dr kiss. Mesmer - Magician of the Mind kiss." Thelma knocked twice, paused kiss, and then knocked three times...apparently a pre-arranged signal between herself and the good doctor. Again, it set my senses on edge, but I reasoned it must be some way kiss to let kiss the performer know that kisslesbian he needed to answer the kiss door because it was important.
     In a moment, the door opened to a stunning sight: a small, beautiful Oriental woman dressed similarly kiss to Thelma, only with dark hair running down to her kiss bottom, as opposed to Thelma kiss's short red ringlets. She smiled and nodded at Thelma kiss, then bowed us both into the room.
     Inside the small room, a fairly large man sat with his back to me, making some final adjustments to his stage kiss makeup in a lighted kiss mirror. When he turned around suddenly, I was startled by his appearance kiss. He was dressed all in black from head to toe, even to wearing a kisslesbian black shirt under his tuxedo coat. His face was totally white; not pale, but painted white like a mime. His hair was so black and kisslesbian shiny against the kiss white of his face kiss it looked like someone had taken obsidian and spun kiss it onto his head.
     "Ahhhh...good evening Detective...?"
     "We'll image see about that. Would you kiss care to kisslesbian have a seat?"
     "No, thanks. This won't take long. I've been told that you have, in the past, helped certain kiss people kiss with kiss no other kiss alternatives help to get rid of items they may have acquired in less than legitimate ways."
     "In so many words, yes."
     He image let go of my hand and sat down in a kiss cushioned chair in the center of the floor image. Quickly, the Oriental girl crossed from the door of the dressing room to a spot kisslesbian directly behind his chair, and began massaging his kiss shoulders and neck.
     "And would one of these items happen to include a wallet stolen from the person of one Artie Baker on April 2nd image of kiss this year kiss."
     Now, believe me, those words didn't come out of mouth immediately kiss after I peed my pants. No, tough guy that I am, it took me more than a few moments to recover my steely gaze and hard-boiled exterior.
     So, with nothing to lose, I kiss asked the first question that came to mind...about Baker's wallet.
     "Oh kiss, about 20 years, give or take a month kisslesbian."
     I mulled kiss that over in my kiss head. First, Artie was going to pay for 20 years kiss. Then kiss, the Devil was going kiss to take his soul. Talk about your penalties for early termination.
     "So what's the deal with this place? Why set yourself up as a second-rate kiss hypno-magician-whatever in a dead-end saloon at the edge of nowhere?"
     "Because you want to make a deal with kisslesbian me, Sam. As do all those out in the bar kisslesbian tonight."
     "Pleasssssssssssse......ppppplllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssseee..."
     And, if I'm really, really good, once in a while, Mistress will kiss let me kiss cum kiss...in my hand kiss...after jerking kiss myself off.
     Am I imagining things, or is that the Devil smiling up at me?
