Unfortunately, it didn’t take Jack long to remember the face. Her name was Sandi Kovakx. Jack ‘dealt’ with her brother Eddy a few years back. Unlike her convict brother, Sandi was a writer of news-stand pulps. Apparently, she was quite good. One of the best, so he was told, despite the non de plume of Mark Ross. And after a slight scuffle at her brother’s funeral, where Jack made out he was an associate of her late brother. After that he was glad to put her and that whole Lost Angel Case to bed. He just hoped now a few years had passed. She had forgotten his face, or this could turn uglier than it already was. Either way he was keeping his mouth shut.

“What we got here Decker?” Jack snapped off handedly, “Why’d you drag me here?” he asked the detective now besotted with Sandi and her long pale legs. “We got a call that these two lovely ladies had been attacked by a pair of black gentleman. I thought you’d want in”

Jack took a long moment, “two?”

“Oh yes, Ms. Kovakx and her umm… friend a Ms. Josephine” the naïve detective muttered from a behind a notebook as he made a show of looking over something.

Jack just thought one thing, idiot.

“Yes, Mr. Malone, two women. Sandi here is, shall we say, her lover. Call it what you will, but really is our sexuality an issue here?”

From where Jack stood, he could see Ms. Josephine look him over, like the snake did to Eve that day in the garden. It didn’t take long for Jack to work out this duo was, shall we say ‘Kiki’, either way Sandi defiantly wasn’t wearing the trousers.“No! Ms. Josephine, who you decide to spend your nights with, is no concern of mine. That’s between you two ladies and the Almighty,” Jack said.

A cruel sadistic laugh spat from the snake like woman, “and what the HELL does that mean, gumshoe?”Jack could feel the acrid venom in her voice.

There and then Jack had the urge to slap that face hard. But he was a pro, and he had to act like it even if he didn’t want to at times.

“Like I said Miss. It’s between you and the holy farther, if you still don’t get me, I bet one of them books over there is a good old King James. Why don’t you be a doll and pass it here, and I can tell you a little something?” She didn’t respond, instead just looked coldly at Sandi. Jack there and then felt, or at least he thought he felt, that the Lord almighty himself spoke to him from up on high. He had a mad urge to scream at her and her ‘friend’ Romans 1; 26-27 then just for fun dip into the book of Ruth adding a few choice words, to a few verses the message to nail it home. However, Jack fought the compulsion and held his tongue.

There was a man in the room, too, apart from Decker, who made an off handed sleazy remark under his breath.
