Mary ditched Braggs as soon as possible.

“Don’t you want to go through that stuff together?” he’d asked, looking at the files.

“I think we’ve gone through enough together, don’t you?” Mary said.

“Not really,” he said. “But everyone’s certainly entitled to their opinion, no matter how wrong that opinion may be.”

“Before I go,” he said. “The rest of your clients are here. You remember the consortium of Brent’s old gang that together sent me to hire you?”

“Well, they’re all here and would like to get together with you. You know, go over the case and how they can help you catch the killer. I know it’s short notice, but does tonight work?”

“I’ve always got time for senior citizens,” Mary said. It would be a good chance for her to dig for more information anyway.

“Don’t look so excited, Mary. They're actually a fun bunch.”

“Laugh a minute, I'm sure, Whitney.”

Braggs smiled, his white teeth gleaming in the late Hollywood sun.

“I understand,” he said. “I’m cramping your style. Too much too soon, I take it?”

“That would presuppose I have a style, Braggs.”

“Oh you’ve got style. Plenty of it.”

“Are you hitting on me?”

“Absolutely not,” he said, holding his hands wide, a gesture of pure innocence. “That would be scandalous. A man my age making improper advances on a deceased colleague’s lovely, sexy niece? One who is clearly entertaining the idea of benefiting from an older man’s heard-earned experience in the bedroom? No.”

“The only thing I’m experiencing right now is revulsion mixed with a small amount of nausea.”

“Understood, Mary. Understood. However, I’m not hitting on you, despite the wonderful curve of your–”

“I am armed, Braggs.”

Braggs snapped his mouth shut, a mischievous twinkle in his eye.

Mary walked away, wondering if some old ladies somewhere were supplying Braggs with Viagra. If not, she should set him up with the Golden Girls at Brent’s place. They’d tear him apart.
