“Keep your hands to yourself or I’ll kill you!” Joyce calls back into the kitchen.
Joyce serves Lanie and Esposito their dinners, smiling at her regulars.
“Get you anything else?”
“What’s wrong, sweetie?” Lanie demands.
“Our cook’s a skeevy little weasel. Sorry, that’s not fair to weasels.”
“Tell him we want to talk.”
The cook/weasel soon appears at their table. “Yeah?”
“We heard Joyce threaten to kill you,” Esposito states.
“How’s that your business?”
“I’m with NYPD Homicide,” Esposito explains.
“And I’m a county coroner,” Lanie continues. “Treat Joyce right, or we’ll show her how to get away with it.”
