Seems the woman wasn’t quite quick enough on the uptake (fair enough given that a robbery was in progess):

_Daft Crim:_ hey babe, wanna have a drink?

_Quick Thinking Babe:_ 9 o’clock, Freds Bar. Bring some cash

_DC:_ I got all the cash we need. OK

**9:00pm, Freds Bar**

_DC:_ hiya, remember me

_QTB:_ yep sure do. Buy me a drink, and buy all the nice Police Officers one, too. Putz

_DC:_ :smack:

😃
