My accomplice never showed up and I don’t know why, so I never went through with the job . . .

Are you crazy? I can trust her with my life! She and I go way back together, we’ve had capers all over the world, the flatfoots have offered her one deal after another to turn state’s evidence against me, and not once has she taken the bait! For instance, the reward for information on me has reached five figures, and she could sink me if she wanted to. Do you think she’ll take it? Not on your life! She’d chew broken glass rather than tell the feds how to find me. Loyal as the day is long, that’s what she is! My life, I’m telling you, I’d trust her with my life!
[Meanwhile, back at police headquarters . . . ]
“Thanks for the dough and the immunity offer. Sweeten the pot a little more, coppers, and I’ll tell you where his tildes are stashed too.”

I woke up and decided I will be taking a personal leave day, because I don’t want to get out of bed. Then ten minutes later changed my mind Cos I’d like to stay employed, I guess.
