This is a very complex story for one so short. Martinez has summerized the whole situation. I think the Chief was being sarcastic when he said "it's all so obvious."

I think so too. I didn't understand a word of it, and I wrote the thing.
Thanks for the review
Comment from Izzysbiggestfans
Great use of 100 words! The pace you set there gave me a little road rash! Nicely done. I love the names you gave the characters. I felt like I could picture them just by their names. Good luck in the booth!

Thank you. Glad you liked it. Hope your rash gets better.
Comment from OldVet
Whew! Sounds like a Pink Panther plot!
Good story.
One thought:
"Now you put it like that," said the Chief, "it's all so obvious."
"Now that you put it like that," said the Chief, "it's so obvious." [Won't change the word count.]

Comment from Sally Carter
This is so wonderful - you had me laughing out loud. OMG, whichever one am I going to vote for? There are so many fantastic pieces of writing here. I shall have to venture into flash fiction more often. Thank you for cheering up my afternoon.

You're very welcome. Thanks for recognising it as humour.
Comment from Mariea
The amount of characters had me confused, obviously the Chief grasped the whole thing. No typographical or punctuation problems that I could detect.
Good luck in the comp.

Well, the confusion was part of the point. And I'm not sure the Chief understood any more than you or I. Thanks for the review

Comment from Adri7enne
Yeah, sure! Yep, I figured all that out! You know what I told you already about an animal biting its own tail. This was another one of those. Really upset me that I read it twice before I started to laugh and realized you couldn't have figured this one out yourself. God, you're so weird! Fun, though. I'm sure it's the most funny. And damn well written, even if it doesn't clarify a darn thing.

Doesn't clarify anything? What. you want me to spell it out? I didn't mention the trapeze artist because I thought that spoke fgor itself, and the trained monkey wasn't really relevent to the plot.
Thanks for reading it (twice)

When your story doesn't crack me up, your reply usually does. Nutter! LOL!

A mouthful of information here. Clever to have someone summarize the crime....so everyone else can say...It's obvious.
Good luck in the contest.

That's a mouthful of writing in 100 words. I like it. The way it was written gave me a laugh at the end. Oh, sorry this is serious. Good luck in the contest.
