The Fox

We've even looked for it in
the act of looking for it.

"I will get you, my pretty."

Tom enters the Diner with
a meretricious woman.
The "couple" is succinctly
approached by the man in the
black overcoat and offered
a cup of very strong tea.
Tom is about to suck the
free drink down when his escort 
hits the cup out of his hand
smashing it on black and white
tiled checker board floor.
					  "Hey!  What's
the deal?" Tom asks angrily.

"You shouldn't accept things from
strangers," his companion states.
"You don't know WHAT could be in
there."  She grabs his arm.  They leave.
