It had been a rough day. They'd chased down leads all morning and chased down suspects all afternoon.
Special Agent Colby Granger was ready to put up his feet and relax with a beer and some hot food. The trouble was, he had nothing edible in his apartment.
Usually this meant a trip to the store or a fast food joint or even a restaurant.
Tonight, however, he had an invitation to a nice place that served nice food.
"You coming to Charlie's Nerd Party?" he asked Special Agent David Sinclair.
David looked up from his monitor. "What? Don't you remember how bad the food was last PI Day?" he asked. "No, if I'm going to eat soggy pot pies, I'm going to eat it at home."
"Spoilsport. Just because Claudia's in Florida working on that serial killer case doesn't mean you have to sulk all the time!"
"Yes. It. Does."
"Well, why don't you move down to Miami and work on the case with her?"
"Do you have any idea how hot the competition is for slots in Miami?" David asked. "Not even Charlie could find a formula that will get me in there."
Colby tried again. "Cheer up, I have a sure-fire way to improve the taste of Charlie's cooking."
David raised an eyebrow. "What? You're going to send him to The California School of Culinary Arts?"
Colby shook his head. "It's almost St. Patrick's Day," he reminded his partner.
"So?"
"So, I thought I'd liven up Charlie's PI Day celebration with some Guinness Stout." He paused. "Four six-packs should smooth out any rough edges on his cooking. Especially if you bring an equal amount of Bass Ale to go with it."
David looked at Colby with undisguised admiration. "Man, I could…"
Colby recoiled. "Don't. Even. Think. It!"
