Steffy replies to my text. Hmmm. No more duty trailing the diamond queen around New York? Um, okay.</span></span><br/><br/><table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td>   </td><td><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 9pt;"><em><strong>to: <span class="bbc_u">Chief, cc Ursula</span><br/>### Abandoning stalking.

Am I dressed to meet the boos and an attorney? Yes, good enough. I cancel all the plans with the waiter and settle my tiny bill for water and the gin and tonic heavy on the tonic which remains half drunk on the table. Step outside, do I need  a jacket? Yes, back to my room for that and back outside for a taxi. Give the driver the address from Chief’s message. We’re there in 35 minutes. Find the offices inside and try the door. It opens.<br/><br/>Inside is a blond I don’t know. I assume she’s the lawyer the Chief mentioned. Walk toward her.</span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Palatino;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">“Hi I’m Peggy.

You must be the attorney Sterffy mentioned.”</span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Palatino;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">Hold out my hand. She’s really cute, my kind of girl. I wonder if she likes girls?</span></span><br/>
