Just got her name from the dry cleaner
Who is she?
Candace Foster. Look again.
Are you certain you don’t recognize her?
Never seen her before
OK. I’ll run her through the database and get back to you
Are you sure they’re involved?
Yes
She could be his mother
Let me run a search. Be patient
I’m trying
THE NEXT DAY
Want the bad news, or the bad news?
How can it get any worse?
Number one, did you know your ex was married before?
Before me?
Twice
No! Who?
A teacher and a nurse. Both moved away and remarried
Children?
None except with you
Did he drain their bank accounts and wreck their credit too?
What do you think? He’s a serial groom
What’s the other bad news?
Candace Foster is an heir to a construction fortune.
She’s an only child and once her sickly father dies…
She doesn’t look rich
She’s going to be. Big time
Unbelievable!
I followed him this morning. Appears he bought an engagement ring
If it’s anything like mine its cubic zirconia
Seriously?
I tried to pawn it to pay the rent. The jeweler laughed at me.
Get me Candace’s phone number. I have to warn her
I’ll email you everything I’ve got
I’m sorry I can’t pay you beyond the retainer
It’s okay
I can’t believe I let him ruin my life
Hang in there
LATER THAT NIGHT
Babe, you there?
It’s late. Going to bed
I’ve been studying the art of foot massage
Where?
Youtube. Got the technique down
Enough with the foot stuff already
It’s not just the feet, ankles and calves too
It’s been a hard day and I’m tired
How’s the case going?
Not good. We can’t nail this guy
I’ll kick his ass if you want. With my foot
I’m not in the mood for jokes
The good guys don’t always win, you know
But we’re supposed to
Maybe in movies, not in life
I’m turning off my phone
Good night
