At the police department honorary banquet….
Tegan O’keef- All dressed up in her most fashionable dress...standing in the middle of the room amongst other police officers’ and detectives’ families. “Miles where-are-you?”
Miles O’Keef/Dan O’Leary- Suddenly burst through the door grabbing onto each other’s jackets as though scuffling together entangled, while they approach the podium.
Miles O’Keef- “Sorry to be late, we met with a most unfortunate retaliation from a very unhappy , unruly villain, that was apprehended by us. Hello, Detective Miles O’Keef here!”
Dan O’Leary-Stretching his body around to face the microphone. “And me, Detective Dan O’Leary. Yah, he gave us a good fight, but we managed to rope him up!”
Miles O’Keef-“Yah, we sure did, we stitched him up good, didn’t we Danny Boy?!”
Dan O’Leary-Comes back around to the microphone. “We sure did.
Hey Tegan, little sister. Do you mind?” They raised their handcuffed hands to show her.
Tegan O’Keef- Takes out a key from her purse, walks to them. “What was it this time?”
Dan O’Leary- Sighs. “A street con artist conning people.”
Tegan O’Leary- Embedding the key, turned it, unlocking the handcuffs.
“I bet.” She smiles lovingly at her brother.
Miles O’keef- Attentive to her. “UMM?” He shakes his foot as another chain rattles it’s cuff around his ankle.
Tegan O’Keef- Gives him a peculiar but loving look, crouches down to unlock the other cuff from his ankle and her brother, rises with dignified rescue of them.
Miles O’Keef- With much relief spread upon his face “Thank you Love.
Don’t worry, we’ll get him next time.”
Tegan O’Keef- With self pride,places the key back inside her purse, gracefully walks to her chair, sits down, takes her wine glass with ease, raised it in honor of her husband and brother, giving a much dignified satisfied hand held up toast to their achievements then gave a quirky look of admiration.
Intermission……on behalf of this most
unsavory scene of two hero detectives,
