Crime and Peter Chambers - Abigail Chrisenberry

Peter Chambers sits down on a barstool at a big beautiful nightclub called The Peacock Room. The bartender comes over and asks him "What will it be, Mac?" Peter says "Milk". The bartender says "Milk?" Peter says "You heard me, Pal" Bartender says "Yes, Sir. Milk it is". Down at the other end of the bar sits a very attractive blonde-haired lady, who also happens to have a glass of milk in front of her. The attractive lady gets off her stool and comes toward Peter, and asks "Are you Peter Chambers?" He says "That's me, lady. Doing a workout in the latest bottle-fed formula". She says "I want to talk to you. Somewhere alone". Peter says "No objections to that". She says "My place. The Hotel Baldwin, Suite 518". Peter says "Good enough. We go now?" She says "No, I'll go first. You come there in about five minutes". Peter says "Oh, real mystery-like, huh? Well, I suppose that's the kind of business I'm in. One slight, unimportant bit of information. What's your name?" She says "Abigail Christenberry. See you later, then". About five minutes later, Peter is with her at the Hotel Baldwin, Suite 518. She asks "Will you have a drink, Mr. Peter Chambers?" He says "I will, Miss Abigail Christenberry. Only if it's milk, I'll pass". After a few sips of scotch and soda, she suddenly says "I've changed my mind, Mr. Chambers. He asks "About what?" She says "About retaining you. There's no longer any need of your service". Peter says "Fired before you get hired. Everything happens to the private eye". She gives Peter a one hundred dollar bill for his trouble, and he goes back to his office. Later, his friend from the police department, Detective Lieutenant Louis Parker, stops by. Parker asks "You know a dame by name Abigail Christenberry?" Peter says "Oh, not as well as I'd like to". Parker says "Well, you ain't gonna". Peter says "Why not?" Parker says "She's dead". Peter says "Dead? Abigail Christenberry is dead?" Parker says "And my boy, they've got you tagged for it."
