====

INTERVIEW: You'd been tracking this 'Flounder' stranger since his days in Canada.
DETECTIVE: Perchance you mean to make me a Detroit auto-city clown, friend.
INTERVIEW: I suspect you're a serious customer who thought to mark Flounder.
DETECTIVE: Thought right, and I thought I was one-step ahead pre-deed.
INTERVIEW: He was in mask costume for some theater claim for vault-entry.
DETECTIVE: Had computer-security short-circuit 'wand' that had the lock opened.
INTERVIEW: Tricked the computer into some self-check auto-defense mechanism?
DETECTIVE: Halloween shan't be the same, but no one can copycat Flounder, pal.
INTERVIEW: Detroit rocks ($11M)...Selfie-comments ('copycats').
DETECTIVE: I did my best (Facebook-like!).


INTERVIEW: He made some Thanksgiving-TV comments about mezzanines?
DETECTIVE: He was a fan of the Lions or some Thanksgiving rivalry-storyline!
INTERVIEW: You say you tracked down some 'human' weakness for Romanticism.
DETECTIVE: He'd courted a cheerleader post-deed, with the $11M rocks.
INTERVIEW: Diamonds are so easy to move around (insurance).
DETECTIVE: They're forever (field goals).



INTERVIEW: They'll call you Melvin Purvis, friend.
DETECTIVE: I don't doubt it...Flounder was very funny!
INTERVIEW: Detroit, the city of music and cars and Thanksgiving football (TV).
DETECTIVE: And banks/vaults for Earth-realm distances to media/commentary!
INTERVIEW: You're a great lawman, pal.
DETECTIVE: I know that...Facebook-like (ha).



INTERVIEW: Chemical warfare, detective?
DETECTIVE: He used it to burn the vault inner-box to swap with toys (damn).
INTERVIEW: Was he from Palestine?
DETECTIVE: My hunch is some English cove, but I remain unsure.
INTERVIEW: No leads to Antwerp (diamonds)...for toys/ventures (etc.)?
DETECTIVE: Nothing...he was masked (always); my buds joke it's Brussels.
INTERVIEW: Why's that, pal?
DETECTIVE: Get it...'Brussels sprout eatery' wisdom (ha).
INTERVIEW: Fine.



DETECTIVE: He mailed me a box of luchi-bread for hospitality respects.
INTERVIEW: He's from the East!
DETECTIVE: Maybe Algerian-French from Quebec, I remain unsure, friend.
INTERVIEW: Why luchi?
DETECTIVE: Maybe he was a Susan Lucci fan (who cares)?
INTERVIEW: Sounds-dialysis...Detroit's 'heat' for bread/fruit (leviathan).
DETECTIVE: Melvin Purvis of the 21st-Century Detroit...Bud-Bowl (thanx).
