Jeff Regan went to the office Friday night about 5:20 answering the Lyon's call. He was sitting behind the desk sucking on a quarter cigar. He looked real pleased like a fat lady locked in a cream puff factory. The Lyon says "A man I know had a baby. He's a plumber named Broman or Groman, something like that". Jeff says "Mazel Tov". Lyon says "Cancel any arrangements you got for the night. I got something for you to do. You got your car?" Jeff says "It's in the lot". Lyon says "Gas it up, you're taking a trip to Calabasas. A man wants to see you". Jeff says "I got no friends out there". Lyon says "He's a friend of mine named Hendricks. He counts his money with an adding machine, and his fingers are always swollen". Jeff asks "What's the problem?" Lyon says "I don't know. He didn't say. He just called and told me to send out a man". Jeff asks "How much did he give you for a retainer?" Lyon says "When an important man like Hendricks calls, you don't insult him by asking for money". Jeff says "Oh, stop it, will you? You're the kind of guy who would steal pennies out of parking meters". Lyon says "That's enough". Jeff says "If one of them turned up empty, you'd sue the city". Lyon says "Here's the Hendrick's address. Now get out there". Jeff says "Alright". Lyon says "Regan, remember, do a good job and I'll give you Thanksgiving off, and I'll pay you". Jeff says "With what, cranberries?" It was dark by the time Jeff found the Hendricks place. In the front yard was a big fat guy who was holding a six foot gun in the shape of a straightened out tuba. He was wearing a high hat with a buckle on it. He was dressed in black and he had buckles all over him. Jeff figured that he been eating too much Quaker Oats. The man asks "Did the shooting makes you nervous?" Jeff says "That's a big gun there". The man says "It shoots musket balls. It's good for Indians". Jeff says "Well, I'm no Indian". The man says "I wasn't aiming at you". Jeff says "Well, that gun wouldn't know the difference". The man says "This is a Blunderbuss. It's a great weapon". Jeff asks "Do you live here?" The man says "Of course not, pilgrim. I'm Miles Standish".
