Hey!
(That’s ok; if I ever got mixed up in the illegal tilde racket, I can see you as my favorite gun moll.)

“Er, yes, um, hello, is this the police department? My name is Shuhak, but please don’t write that down because I want this to be anonymous. Listen, that reward being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Randy D, the ~swindler, no one has claimed it yet, have they? Good, good, good. I want to be recorded as being the first person to call it in, I want that reward money. Yes, yes, of course I know where he is. I can lead you right to him. I know which sub-basement he’s hiding out in, and I know who’s harboring him, it’s one of his dames, some gun moll he’s bamboozled into joining him. You might as well pick her up too; she’s just as dirty as he is. They’re also running a con game on the avocado lobby, if that interests the police department. But before I say anything else about how you can get him, let’s discuss all the details of me being lined up for that reward money. I’m going to need it broken up into small denominations, no consecutive serial numbers, no marked bills, no dye packs or homing devices, and if I see even one cop at the drop-off point, the deal’s off. Oh, sorry. Force of habit. Anyway . . . ”
