“Thirsty Coventry, from Channel 7 news outside Now Investigations Headquarters,” she spoke to the camera, “speaking with Wynott Now.” She turned to address Wynott, stepping between him and Tsosumi. “Mr. Now, I understand you’ve been privately contracted to locate Hy and Flo D’Way who have been missing for several days now. Can you tell me how your investigation is going and what leads you are following up on?” She asked, thrusting her microphone in Wynott’s face.
“Actually, we haven’t really...”
“The investigation is going extremely well, Thirsty, although we aren’t at liberty to discuss details. As you clearly noted, the contract to find D’Ways is private.”
“And, you are?” Thirsty turned to Tsosumi.
“I’m Wynottt’s best ... I’m Mr. Now’s best ... assistant. He has several.”
“Any suspects in the case, Miss...?”
“Margeaux Away. No suspects as of yet but we do have one person of interest: Kandy Barr, who works as a stripper at Candy Stripers. We do think Ms. Barr warrants more attention in the matter.”
“Do you think we will see Kandy Barr behind bars?”
“It’s too early to tell but she could be excommunicated - barred for life.”
“Mr. Now, any more information you can give us?” Thirsty was excited to have the scoop on the other news stations and wanted to milk it for all it was worth.
“I’m sorry, I don’t I have much to add to that.”
Tsosumi gave him a look that said, “Say anything.”
“Frankly, Kandy Barr melted under interrogation but any further information must be kept under wraps at this time.”
“There you have it straight from Now Investigations World Headquarters. Thank you Mr. Now and Miss Away. This is Thirsty Coventry for Channel 7 News where news travels fast.” She held her gaze into the camera until the cameraman signaled he had finished recording the segment.
“What was all that?” Wynott asked as they entered the office.
“Don’t worry, it’ll never make it on the air.”
“How do you know?”
“She had some spinach stuck between her teeth.”
