A modest (or perhaps improper) proposal

"The money," barked DS Haggis. "Where?"

"Don't know, guv. Honest. I was look-out, that's all"

"Where?"

Haggis twitched, squinted. Surreptitiously flicking a switch, he murmured: "How about a deal, you and me, eh, Stubbs?"

"Deal?"

"Fifty-fifty." Pause. "Sixty-forty then, your advantage. A long and happy retirement in Rio. What do you say?"
