"Well, OK, So There's That, But...."

Harry explained the importance of telling him about any skeletons that Debbi might have in her closet. If they were to do an exclusive deal for her story with one of the tabloids, the others would be sniffing around so that they could jump in with spoilers. "But I don't have any skeletons" Debbi explained. "Well, there is the other charity calendar we shot in the rain forest, that's for next year" Lawrence countered. "Well, OK, yeah, so there's that" Debbi admitted. "That shouldn't be a problem. We can spin the tart with a heart angle along with the current calendar." Harry was sanguine about that.

"And there's the naughty knickers catalogue we did" Lawrence continued.

"Well, OK, so there's that" Debbi conceded.

""And you rode in the world naked bike ride" Lawrence reminded her.

"Well, OK, so there's that. But there were hundreds of people there with no clothes on" Debbi protested.

"But it was only you posing naked in the pub with all the regulars !" Lawrence wanted to cover all bases.

"Well, OK, so there's that. But otherwise..."

"And the living statue for our oligarch friend where the footballer first saw you" she was reminded.

"Well, OK, there was that but, but..."

"And the performance art for Z where they cut off all your clothes and you nearly got arrested when they paraded you outside"

Debbi was getting annoyed with Lawrence. "Alright, alright. If you put it like that it sounds a lot." Harry by this time had his head in his hands.

"And sleeping with the chief in the rain forest" Lawrence took up his theme again. "He wasn't a real chief, you know that" said Debbi, pushing Lawrence in the chest. "And anyway, I slept with you too. And Lesley too for that matter. So there, now you know" she yelled defiantly. "Who's Leslie ? Where does he fit in ?" Harry asked. "It's a she. Lesley's the sculptor of the footballer's statues" Lawrence explained.

"This might be a bit more complicated than I'd envisaged" Harry admitted. "I thought you said you were a respectable business woman ?"

"I am, I am " Debbi asserted. " A girl's entitled to a little fun isn't she ?"

"OK, OK, enough arguing you two. Is that it finally ?" Harry asked. "All I know about" Lawrence replied. "Apart from the bouncer" Debbi added as Lawrence raised an eyebrow. He couldn't admit to knowing about that from the webcams.

"So let me think. The calendar's are no problem, they're charity. This performance art thing we can tie in with the statues, all part of a serious arty farty interest. Bike ride, as you say, hundreds of photos from that of dozens of people. A big, so what ?" Debbi began to be reassured but Harry had concerns. "I'm not sure what we do yet about the naughty knickers. And I'm a bit worried about this pub thing. Can you keep a lid on that ?" Harry asked Lawrence. "I was supposed to be the only one taking photographs that day. Should be OK" Lawrence answered.

Harry checked his phone. "The footballer's people want a meet" he mumbled. "And I'm told they're going to talk about you on the Morning Show with that panel of women. Better switch it on I suppose !"
