The Mystery of the Missing Doorstop Started by: Anna on Oct 18, '13 16:46

Since becoming the right hand woman to the most esteemed and highly respected Cab_Tufting, of Old City District, Philadelphia, Anna had been concerning herself with overseeing the renovations to the crew headquarters. The building purchased for them by their Godfather, Jack_Carter, was incredibly spacious, with many a large meeting room.

Anna had been overseeing the painting and decorating and furnishing of the place, carefully designing each room and laying it out to be as nice a space for members to meet and plot and plan as is humanly possible, and today, finally, the work was almost complete.

To the best of her knowledge, Cab had not yet been on a tour of her renovations, preferring to busy himself on the real business of committing crimes of all kinds of natures finishing up paperwork, and anticipating his reaction made the hard work worthwhile.

Heaving the final squishy sofa into a corner, Anna stood back and admired her handiwork. Pulling her hair out of it's ponytail, she shakes it loose, brushes herself down and checks all around the room, her eyes widening in horror as she catches sight of the exposed metal of the doorstop. Some heinous fiend had stolen the rubber tip off the door stop! What kind of vicious criminal would commit such a deviant act? It chilled Anna to the bones just to think about it.

Full of dread, she worked her way around all of the rooms of the HQ, and found the same terrible sight in each one; every single rubber doorstop had been taken! 'Who', she wondered to herself, 'could be responsible for this monstrous act? I almost feel as though I can't be safe in my own bed tonight now! I must report this madness to Cab. Cab will know what to do'.

Slowly making her way up the stairs to Cab's office, her eyes peeled for any sign of a doorstop, or a possible doorstop thief, she feels herself trembling a little. 'Focus Anna. You're gonna be alright. Cab will sort this. It'll all be okay" she thought.

Knocking softly on Cab's door, she doesn't wait for a 'come in' before bursting into the room, throwing herself down on a chair and crying out

THE DOORSTOPS ARE GONE CAB. ALL OF THEM. ALL GONE!

Anna just about registers the complete lack of surprise on Cab's face, and his hand hurriedly reaching down to push his desk drawer shut. 'How odd', she thought, before dissolving into tears.

We have to find the thief Cab. Who knows what they'll take next? Filter tips?! Wallets!? ONE NEVER KNOWS!

Listening carefully Cab weighs up his options.  He knows she is onto him, his little reuse has gone horribly wrong.  The onset of panic is swift but being used to difficult situations this is no problem to deal with for Cab...........

 

A thief you say? Do you have some kind of description for me?  Like, did the perpetrator have any redeeming or protruding features?

 

Cab looks Anna squarely in the eyes........

 

PROTRUDING features.

Report Post Tip

Although Cab's reaction to her proclamation had aroused her suspicions, the mention of protruding features caused her eyes to go wide and her mind to race through possible suspects for this most traumatizing of crimes.

Hmm... protruding features... well... I haven't seen anyone with spectacular tits wandering around today.. yourself excepted, of course Cab. If you had tits, they would be SPECTACULAR. I just know it. Protruding features though... y'know, I DID see something funny earlier.

I was outside the back door to the HQ, looking towards the woods, and.. I did see.. y'know the strangest thing? I saw a unicorn. DON'T LAUGH AT ME. I did! HE WAS SO HORNY! And he was running into the trees.. and I think he had a black thing in his mouth.. THE UNICORN DID IT.

WHAT DO WE DO CAB?!

Report Post Tip

Fully expecting to have been caught out Cab skillfully opens the underneath of his drawer and carefully drops the rubber into his hand.  He thinks to himself, silly mare, always thinking she has ONE UP on him, he'll show her.  

You have seen him too?  Quite the fellow he was don't you think?  Why, as he RODE away I couldn't help thinking to myself, "What an immaculate HORN", it was like something I had seen somewhere, something one of the new fangled gadget kids had shown me.........

Cab does his best to hide the quite obvious deception he is perpetrating and re-arranges his bust............

There must be a better alternative Anna?  These things are cumbersome and uncomfortable, I think we need to work on the make up more as well, I am still quite obviously Cab, we don't want people getting the wrong idea when they recognise me.......right?  I think the "Princess" moniker is beautiful though, fitting, if you will.

Cab blows a kiss across the room towards Anna..........

Hearing music overhead, Anna feels slightly inspired. She jumps to her feet and begins to sing.

PRINCESS, THERE'S NO NEED TO FEEL DOWN,
I SAID PRINCESS, PICK YO'SELF OFF THE GROUND
I SAID PRINCESS, YOU'RE THE NEW AUTH IN THIS TOWN
THERE'S NO NEED TO BE UNHAPPY!

PRINCESS, THERE'S A PLACE YOU CAN GO,
PRINCESS, WHEN YO SHORT ON YO DOUGH
YOU CAN STAY THERE, AND I'M SURE YOU WILL FIND
MANY WAYS TO GET YOUR LIPS LINED

IT'S FUN TO STAY AT THE Y

Anna throws her arms into the air in the shape of a letter Y.

M

She moves them into the shape of an M.

C

Up into a C.

A

And finally throws the up into an A.

Clearing her through and looking a little surprised, she sits back down.

Right, right. Where were we? Riding unicorns through our back doors?

I bet that unicorn stole our doorstop to wear on top of his horn! So that he can practice safer horning! He'll be much less pointy! What a sweet natured fella, caring for his fellow unicorns!

I think we should go and look for him Cab. But first... I shall paint your nails for you! A nice, shiney shade of pink!

Reaching into her bag, she produces nail paint.

Hands flat out on the table Cab!

Laying his hand's out on the table Cab chuckles to himself........

Just make sure you make them look purdy, Holly is hard to please, apparently "good" nails are a necessity when out on the drag.  She's hitchhiked her way all the way across the USA from Miami.  She said she plucked her eyebrows on the way and shaved her legs for me.  I think she may have mentioned something about hooking up with Candy and Little Joe at some point................

Needless to say, I need to look awesome.

Cab takes a look at the nails........................

I think the bright yellow ones are the way to go, you know, draw everyone's attention away from my face, it's a dead giveaway.

While I am out at the Apollo, you go and do some more digging, these doorstops must be somewhere..........

Cab glances down at his pert nipples and chuckles to himself...........

I think maybe the Unicorn gallivanted off down that BACK ALLEY, I think I saw him sauntering through the brown door down there.
