MINDERS 193

Minders 193 Pepper: Good morning Forest. We’ve not seen much of you lately. Forest: Good morning Pepper. That’s true but things are going to change. Scarlett: Hello Forest! Change? Are you going to come back to drinking Boomerang? Forest: Possibly but that’s not the main thing. You’ve noticed Boomer hasn’t been in lately? Pepper: Yes, we had. We just assumed he was happy with the figures and had stepped back. Forest: Well he has stepped back in a way – into his second childhood by the look of things and out of managing this pub. Pepper: You’ll have to explain that. Forest: He’s taken on a job as a male dancer at the Pink Panther and I can assure you it’s not a pretty sight! Scarlett: A male dancer? Boomer? I’d never have expected that. Tia: I’m afraid it’s true. He’s pole dancing in a Pinkini. The shock of seeing him made Smokey’s hair turn white overnight! Forest: Oh, I should introduce you, girls. This is Tia and you can see she’s with the City Minders. Pepper: Well I’m Pepper and this is my assistant Scarlett but surely you don’t need a Minder Forest? Forest: I’m slowly finding out. It was Smokey’s idea after one of his failed escapades. Tia: Nice to meet you girls. This one’s not too bad, it’s Smokey who creates most trouble, I expect you’ll meet his Minder Fei Yin soon.
