Clues?

"Hello?" you say as you answer the phone.

"Having fun?" the voice on the other end of the line says.

"Who is this?" you say irritated now.

"Just like the other day, you pretend you do not know me. Well now you do, how is everything ticking?" the female voice asks.

"Who are you!" you scream in the phone.

"Scorn me once shame on you, scorn me twice shame on me." she says, her voice is rather sultry and you work on trying to place it.

"I watched your wife drive away, she looked real mad. To think we could have been nice and discrete and she never would have known. But, now she knows you are a liar and cheat!" then she hangs up the phone.

You reach for the detectives card and call her.

She tells you to hold tight she will be over.

An hour later she shows up and you go over everything, well most everything after all you do not want to involve your neighbor in this any more than you already have.

"This is a pretty good one and it must be a woman, a guy would not have thought something like this up." she says with a sardonic smile.

"I will get some officers and we will canvas the area, sounds like someone close who knows you and maybe has a thing for you." she says.

"How long you got?" she asks looking at the countdown watch. "Oh just over 10 hours, must have got lucky lately. Who was she?"

You debate about telling her.

"Come on, I need all the details if I am going to help you.

Then you tell her about the girl on the bike and the old lady across the street too.

"Now we are getting somewhere. Stay here, and let me do my job."

She stands and you take note of her form and fitness and feel a throb in your pants. "Damn!" you think, you have become a sexual deviant and for a moment you miss your nice quiet life you had before all of this.

She closes her cell phone with a smile. "I will be in touch." she tells you and leaves you there to think over what has happened and just who could or even would do such a thing to you?

Two more hours go by and then there is a knock on the door. It is the detective and you let her in.

Your neighbor next door was not all to happy about being asked personal questions but I think we can rule her out. The old lady across the street well she is just pissed off at everyone so who knows. But, this is the part that is disturbing we cannot find this young girl you gave an account of.

So I am going to babysit you for a while and see if you get any more calls or something goes down.

"Oh okay." you say to her as you both walk into the house.

"Bummer about your wife leaving but then not all women like it often enough." she says as she walks around the house like she is taking inventory.

"Nice place, good average guy doing the right things." she says. "Have you thought anymore about who this person could be?" she asks you.

"That is my most burning thought." you tell her.

For the next three hours you two stay in the house and chit-chat and watch some television.

"I am going to have to go and get clearance to keep a closer eye on you." she finally says standing up and smoothing her pants. "Take care of yourself and stay home if you can." she says as she lets herself out.

Soon though all you can think about is needing to get laid and getting some sleep! Who are you going to call at three in the morning and you only have just over two hours left?
