"What else?" All of these questions were good. It helped organize my thoughts.

"This was funny. Hari really enjoyed the movie. He's like a big kid. They stopped at the T-shirt store at 3rd and South on the way home. Bought a Green Lantern shirt. Put it on right then and there. She said that he looked as happy as a pig in shit.

"They returned to the shop. Hari spent the rest of the day restoring some chairs that came out of the Chestnut Hill deal. Tended to customers when they came in; didn't go out the rest of the day.

"So, let me guess." 'Don't call me Penny Lane' is really getting into this. I can see the wheels spinning. "You think that there may be a correlation between the baseball cards and Bigfoot's demise."

"It's possible."

"And you don't think that's a stretch."

"Of course it is. But one has to begin somewhere, don't you think?"

"Here's the sixty-four thousand dollar question. Who knew about the baseball cards?"

"Let's see. There's Hari's crew; Rebel and Chucky Cheese. Punk, of course. Danny Boy, who heard it from Rebel. Possibly someone connected with the estate. And then, there's the sports memorabilia guy over on South Broad Street. What's his name? Oh yeah, Leon Burger."

"What's your next move, big boy?" You know, now that I think about it, Kelly doesn't use my name. I wonder why that is.

"Guess I'll start with Burger. Head over there after lunch. How about you?"

"Going to the museum and work on that Van Gogh exhibit. See you back at your place later."

Miss Lane is a consulting curator. Various institutions hire her to arrange shows revolving around specific themes or artists. It is Kelly's job to deal with logistics; contact the owners; arrange for terms and shipping; handle the insurance; the promotion. In short, whatever is necessary to move from inception to completion on any given job.
