Sure As Sin

She was last seem with him. So he looked guilty.

Nick knew he would get through this, he was blessed with luck. they would find the guy that did it. He tried to think if Gina had mentioned the name of the date that stood her up. But he didn’t recall her having done so.

Nick was born lucky, he would get through this, somehow.

“Mr. Alero,” a tall detective said, ” Your lawyer is here.”

Janice Cartwright walked into the police station, head held high. “Hello Nick, in a bit of a pickle I see”, she quipped.

“Seems so,” Nick responded.

After the detective left them alone, Nick said, ” I didn’t do what they say I did Janice, I swear.”

“Nick darling, a beautiful woman was involved here, and I know you’re weakness for beautiful women”, she winked.

“It wasn’t like that this time, Janice, you know better than anyone that I love my wife. I admit I thought about it, but I didn’t have a fling with that woman and I sure as sin didn’t kill her, you know me better than that,” said Nick.
