My security detail has unsavory elements to it. The Mookster could be referred to The Mobster with a former nefarious North Korean cuddle up with a tyrant background. Ollie handling explosives. Kit Kat with an alleged extremist and drug running past. As well Dillie the Westie has a bit of a silver spooned streak to him having “the good suburban life” with frequent trips to Niagara wine country, dog walkers, wonderful cheeses and the best Montreal bagels but even he has bitten a few,,,sorry nipped may be a better word.
My security team are rough and tumble guys hating baths and being groomed and happy to wander around with burrs on their legs and not minding it. They have street savvy.
Penny is a very high priced oodle of some sort. She hangs with the helicopter set buzzing around flashing a fancy headset with her master. Hanging out at “flying clubs” drinking fancy spring water from a silver-plated water bowl and regularly chowing down on Kobe beef slices and Lobster Thermidor and loving baths and grooming most likely dreaming of being best in the show at the Royal Hamilton Dog Breeders Championship. We do need Penny for two reasons.
Her soft temperament and high breeding. Bob was once a dabbler in criminal law with high profile cases including a client who dropped his bus pass at the scene of the crime stealing 25 pens at Bargain Harolds. Bob said whenever he was in court you could “smell a cop” miles away and identify them with their ruddy complexion and cheap suits. Penny looks like a princess and can blend in with any crowd. No cheap suits instead proudly sporting a Dolce & Cubana collar. My guys have a cute look but they smell like security and look a bit conspicuous. Surveillance can be assisted by the special skills that The Mookster, Ollie and Kit Kat possess but Penny has a “blend in” ability making her an effective part of our team. Her sophisticated breeding imparts different analytical skills to round out our security team’s intellectual capabilities.
Penny flies an Oodlecopter designed by the folks at Ferrari. Built by hand with controls custom designed for Penny. It is light and fast and ideal for aerial surveillance and we need that for tip top security.
Why would a princess like Penny want to join our crew? Penny’s view is that learning how to fly a Oodlecopter she wants more and more living on the edge experiences and offering her “security expertise” gives her a thrill.
Dillie the Westie has met Penny in the tony and exclusive Beamsville on one of his never-ending holidays to Niagara-on-the-Lake and they got along like peaches and cream so he vouches for her. It takes one silver spooned to know another.
But our initial surveillance training with Penny has had a glitch. The Mookster was training her with a practice “adultery surveillance” outside The Maple Motel in Vaughn, Ontario a notorious hang out for extra-marital frolickers. Penny fell asleep on the job. So I had no choice to put her on probation but let’s attribute that to her having no time in the morning to gobble (or savour as Penny calls it) her beloved jasmine tea with her enoki mushroom omelet made with organic eggs from St. Davids. Penny is not a “No Frills” girl!
WELCOME PENNY (when and if you pass your probation)
