“Halloween's also this Monday,    
tomorrow,” Pee Wee said thoughtfully.  
“I remember, a couple of years ago,    
reading the same kind of article. Have 
you thought about going on some kind of
special patrol for that night? I'd be  
happy to help out.”                    
     “No, I hadn't actually,” I said,  
but the more I thought about it, and   
the more Pee Wee and I talked about it,
the better it got.                     
     I was already doing one anyway but
having someone else help out made so   
much sense, that we decided to go for  
it.                                    
     The next night, we met at his     
house, about seven, and I got to see   
Mouse again.                           
     “I think what you've been doing on
your farm is so beautiful, and what you
* guys want to do tonight, I wish I could  
come along, but this is a big night for
us, even though it's only a Monday.”   
She then turned to Pee Wee, “Rico’s    
gonna come in and help out.”           
     “Rico's a good man. I appreciate  
this hon...” Pee Wee started to say,   
but Mouse interrupted him, gently      
putting two fingers on his lips.       
     “Shush. We already talked about   
this. This is definitely as important  
as making money. Besides, you guys     
haven't had a chance to hang out for a 
while, and I've always liked the       
Criminal, despite your name.”          
     She went on and on like that for a
couple minutes, and then went logical  
on us.
