Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
This is the Doctrine’s contribution to the Six Sentence Story bloghop.
Hosted by Denise, constrained by a sentence limit (high and low) of six, there are worse ways to spend the remaining time you have on earth.
Prompt word:
PATCH
If I was a detective in an old-timey, newspaper comic strip, the thought balloons in my office would be all, “mixin’ fricken’ Ancient Conspiracy and modern-doting-gangster-client $&(&3 ?@?@?“; but the thing of it is, the last few weeks’ve had more than the usual number of rough patches… kidnapped and drugged, possibly time-travelled; luckily Diane was there to save my trippin’-balls-self… damn… gotta check.
“Hazel, when I was missing and you were trying to find me, who’d you call that made you feel you didn’t need to follow-up to make sure there wasn’t more to know from them?”
“Hey, ask me something hard; that’d be Diane Tierney, the hostess at that testosterone Superfund Site you go to for lunch… ‘Bottom of the Seat’ or something?”
“Got it, thanks… ”
“You should call her, god knows you won’t listen to me,” my admin’s laughter reverb’d through the walls before she clicked the intercom off.
“Diane, this is Ian. if you have a minute, I’m on my way to meet Lou and I could really use your input…”
…from the outer office I could hear Hazel, “Hubba hubba you got moves boss. Girl be lovin’ a man who asks for advice… don’t forget to listen….and do not, I repeat, do not mansplain how it’s just a certain element that you need clarification on…” (her voice changed, adding a megaphone echo), “just listen.”

It sounds like good advice if one is going to meet Lou: “just listen.”

That Hazel is definitely on the right track!

‘Bottom of the Seat’
