Revenge was sweet alright, but now we were at a dead end. Agents Yuri and Knut glanced at each other and then looked to me as team leader. “How can we find She Who Seeks now?”
“We’ve got to bring in the Big Gun,” I said. “Or, in this case, the Big Nose.” One quick phone call later and a small black-and-brown dog materialized in the bar. “This is Agent Buster Borghese of H.A.R.E.’s Reconnaissance Division. Best tracker in the biz. There’s no one he can’t find.”
“How can he track She Who Seeks when we don’t have any items with her scent?” HRH Spayed wasn’t a clever dick private eye for nothing.
I grabbed Dudo’s bar rag off the counter. “Buster’s going to track Dudo instead. I’m positive that little feline fink will make a beeline right to our missing consiglieri.”
Buster Borghese lived up to his reputation and then some. We followed him as he sniffed his way in the dark down every grimy skid row street, past every drug dealer and scumbag in the city. He led us around the heavily-secured downtown courthouse until we found ourselves in “Shysters’ Row” where all the fancy-schmancy office towers of the legal profession were located.
Then, without further ado, we Agents of H.A.R.E. and HRH Spayed found ourselves face-to-face with the nefarious She Who Seeks in her plush, penthouse law office headquarters of the Translesbigay Mafia.
“WTF do YOU losers want?” She Who Seeks yelled as she adjusted the Karmic Crystal of Justice hanging around her neck. “Get the hell out of my office right now . . . OR ELSE!”

Buster's got quite the nose.
This is great.
Shysters Row…interesting. I am looking forward to the last chapter.
...we need a Karmic Crystal of Justice these days.
I see the office, with glass outer walls, marble floors, oak panelling on the inner wall, plush red chairs.
I like all the fun names you used for the characters and places. This is a lot of fun. Is She Who Seeks a type of animal too? Will she use the Karmic Crystal of Justice to take over the world or get some justice for herself? I just read them all, waiting for the finale.
Have a lovely day.
Buster!
KCOJ! I’m way too invested at this point. For real.
XOXO

The story is heating up.
@ lissa -- Oh no, She Who Seeks is human. An evil, evil human.
I have to catch up on the whole epic and read it all at once. Good on you for putting in the effort.
How did I get so far behind. Love the story and had to go back and catch up. Pawshank...Agents of H.A.R.E...LOL Glad She Who Seeks laid the law down this time.
Loving this, and love seeing Buster make his appearance!
The final reckoning!
Agent Buster Borghese’s “Big Nose” cracked me up, as I assume it’s alluding to a different body part on his namesake, but maybe that's just me and my dirty mind.
What does the Karmic Crystal of Justice do? Keep track of lawyers' billable time in one-minute intervals, like a quartz clock? - -Jim
SWS is on FIRE!
Ooh, I like how feisty She Who Seeks gets here. Sounds like those losers have some explaining to do.
Love this ...want to read the whole thing at once!!
I love it.
@ Parnassus (Jim) -- The Karmic Crystal of Justice is a magical amulet that enables its holder to win any court case he or she is involved in. The KCJ figured prominently in "The Big Sleazy" and is what allowed She Who Seeks to railroad HRH Spayed into prison for a murder SWS committed.
@BootsandBraids -- I know Mistress Maddie would agree with you and your assessment!
This is fun, can't wait for the next chapter!
I missed the third instalment so I had to do a catch up read.
Now they have found she who seeks I’m excited to find out what happens
Good for Buster.
