The Return of PRIVATE*EYES
By ~ Absolutely*Kate
The gaunt gumshoe with the battered fedora signatured his saunter into the doorway marked “PRIVATE EYES”, knowing full gut well each stealthy step of stride would reopen the rapid-fire entendrees, double entendrees and even double-dog-dares which shot clean holes in their unabashed affliction of affection.
She felt her former partner’s prescient presence prior to his shadow’s dimming of her old oak desk; twas always that way. “Is that a pistol in your pocket, or are you still glad to see me?”, she deadpanned reflexively with what silver bullet gleam her eyes could counter-conjure.

‘Damn!’, came the inner mutter-mumble, for indeed, he was glad to see her, and, being recently relicensed, he did have his pistol in his pocket after all. Other than that up-the-river slammer-time to clean up the mess from the unfinesse of the Paris fiasco, all that stood between them (besides the old oaken desk of course), was quite simply, (thus strongly), Paris ~ ‘Paris … cobblestones, cabarets and the inherent charm of that quaint cafe along the quay’.

"...he was glad to see her, and, being recently relicensed, he did have his pistol in his pocket after all..."
The line of the day for me...
So good to see The Return Of The Private Eyes return. It's one of my favorites of yours as it was where you first caught my eye. Looking forward to a long continuation!
Excellent (agree with Anthony - love the line "being recently relicensed, he did have his pistol in his pocket after all..."). Very cool and very Bogie-ish. Keep it coming!
Ah, here's lookin' at you Kid.
Told ya this one would have a run.

As dry as a martini. Great to see the return of the return!
Oh, this is a series? Cool... lots of poetic meanderings here, noir with a twist. Peace, Linda
Kate, this is definitely a hit. While agreeing with the other boys on that line about the bottle, I loved the feel of "...to clean up the mess from the unfinesse..." Something very cool!
I agree with all the above. Just one thing when do we get part two?
"Aw Shucks" just doesn't say it, you guys. I'm twirlin' my dangled teal heels into the dirt from Paris where Epic*sode-deux is getting its mood and momentum into gear.
Merci beaucoup,most of all for how this piece once'upon'a'time led me into getting to meet so many of you. Life as I know it, has not been quite the same. SURE GLAD packin' that pistol made you fellers all so glad to read'me.
