	She shook her head, "This is highly unusual." Looking at the scanner. The lights flickered and it had a little chatter, but the codes were too ordinary. "Come on! Someone do something! Steel, Kill, a high speed chase something! OMG, Please!" She closed her eyes for a moment, cranked down the window, reached out and opened the door. Looked at her phone, "Ring, damn it, ring." She got out. 
	At the corner waiting for the green light. She sighed. She patted her forehead with the back of her hand. She ran the light to the ally. After fiddling with her phone for a moment she dodged into the dark. Her breath went fast and thick and her heart thumped.
	 Moving like a cat she scanned, took cover, scanned, moved, scanned then took cover. Her phone lit up and vibrated. She scooted down and checked her text. Miranda: "go home Diamond it's dead in your area tonight." Diamond: "I'm chasing a perp now " A metal sound art the other end of the ally. She ran out too. "Damn the promenade!" She slowly scanned each area. Diamond didn't see anyone that looked like he just ran though the ally. She shook her head then looked at her phone, "I've got about two hours before the stores close. Maybe something will happen yet."
	"Harrison's boutique was above Diamonds budget but that didn't stop her. She walked in. Diamond tried to hide the look of surprise when she noticed that the sales woman didn't show the least bit our interest in how ordinary she was dressed in denim jeans and a T-shirt. 
	Diamond didn't understand why this woman was so familiar. She tried on several dresses, hats, gloves and other accessories. She said, "You know. I must really apologize I just can't find anything that I'm absolutely in love with. I've just wasted your time. I think I'll just go ahead, call it a day and give you a chance to maybe get a last minute sale.", with a smile."Ok, but if it's all the same to you I think I've just the dress you'll absolutely love. Please stay for just one nor fitting. Please!" "Well I suppose. Since you've been so polite I will." "Thank you darling you'll be glad you did." , her face lit.
	Diamond was confused. The woman brought out the first dress. It was the one she was most in love with, but why would she being it back out. She slipped it on and immediately began running all of her bills, paychecks and all resources though her head. The woman did some readjusting. "Well there we go baby."
That phrase hit Diamond just right. This was the Mayor and she knew it. 
	She didn't have a problem about knowing that she could prove it. Diamond had always had a way of persuasion and was a good con she could have this woman confessing to the priest quick. The question was should she. Miranda would kill to have a story about the Mayor incognito as a merchant, but on the other hand...
	Diamond bent over to the Mayor and whispered, "I'm a v-loger for the YouTube channel "SPIKATS" I want an exclusive interview Mayor. There's conspiracy brewing. I don't mean to be a bitch, but just leave it between you and I. I have to know, baby." The Mayor handed Diamond a receipt for the dress, "It's yours darling just leave." "I can and would, but it's not me then who? Someone more ruthless? How soon?"The Mayor took the receipt wrote and said, "Call me baby, I'll arrange something."
