Quotes[]
“Mindy.” Lacroix’s voice took on that silken, seductive note that he used only when he was either very, very angry, or was trying to teach Nicholas a lesson via the public airwaves. “You will inform me when the criminal is located.” The power of his whammy almost made the phone line vibrate.
Comments[]
- "This is delightful! I laughed out loud at the first paragraph and then read the whole thing out loud to my husband, who was driving at the time. That LaCroix really hates losing … anything … to anyone!" — excerpted from comment by Dlyt on AO3
- "Ahahaha! The opening line, “May I speak with, uh, Looshen Lacroy?” literally made me laugh out loud." — excerpted from comment by SwitchbladeEyes on AO3
- "Oh, this is hilarious! The biter, bit, bites back." — excerpted from comment by greerwatson on AO3
- "For the comedy genre, I really enjoy the use of not wishing to aggravate Nick's sensibilities as the plot pivot to the further escalation in ridiculousness from that already set by these criminals." — excerpted from comment by Brightknightie on AO3
