[PinkGirl]

More noise ... both Rockhead and Vavoom turned their eyes
toward the stairs as Agnes Beasley came through the door way.

Prim and proper Agnes was a mess. Her short, mousy brown hair
was full of leaves and twigs. Agnes wore the same clothes every-
day ... white cotton underwear, beige panty hose, low healed,
sensible shoes, plain white cotton tee shirt and a dark, knee length
skirt. She wore no make-up. No one ever gave Agnes a second
glance, probably not a first. Agnes was one of the few people that
knew, with certainty, that most lives do not have that many options.

Agnes knew that this had probably been the reason she was able to
get so close to Pom-Pom earlier in the park. Even the pomeranian did not notice her.

Approaching, Agnes had been startled by the appearance of the woman with
Pom-Pom. She knew this was definitely not Mrs. Ellingfish. Agnes had
needed to get close enough to see if the little white pooch was wearing
a pink, rhinestone studded ID tag, engraved with the words "Princess".

All these little yappy dogs looked the same to Agnes - dust mops
without a handle - you have to be careful which end you're talking
to. On determining that the pup was indeed Pom-Pom Ellingfish, Agnes
easily blended in with the surroundings and gradually crept closer and
closer. Upon seeing Agnes, the woman with the ghostly look of fear
on her face, bolted. Agnes bent down and scooped up the little mutt
and headed back to Rockhead's office. Pom-Pom had eventually squirmed
out of Agnes' arms and ran after the woman. Suprisingly, all three were
heading in the direction of the Rockhead Agency

Agnes was exhausted and made a mental note to get herself in better
shape. When Agnes entered the hallway she was shocked to see her boss
and Ms. Vavoom hovering over the derelict woman she had seen earlier with
Pom-Pom. This wasn't adding up, not making any sense. Agnes recalled
an earlier case that had her bamboozled and remembered Mr. Rockhead saying
"Aggie, truth is stranger than fiction. You couldn't make this stuff up".

Trying to catch her breath, Agnes looked toward her boss for answers.
"Aggie, what the hell have you been doing?" Rockhead asked. "Are you
okay?" "I found the Ellingfish dog" she replied. "This dog?" inquired
Rockhead?". "Yes" replied Agnes. "That's impossible" said Jim, "this
pomeranian has been in Austin with this .... this .... this woman."

Agnes was looking for the confusion couch. She knew this was Pom-Pom.
She was wearing the pink, rhinestone studded ID tag in the shape of a
chaisse lounge and it was engraved "Princess".

Agnes surveyed the scene and quickly realized that there would be
better places to be. In spite of being told that the mutt was being
protective of the unidentified woman, Agnes knew this was Pom-Pom E.
Agnes got up from the couch, scooped up the little pooch and announced
that she was delivering the dog to Mrs. Ellingfish. She left, thinking that
at least she would return with the $500 fee for finding the pampered princess.
