(T&G News Service): That intern was none other than our own Mandy Clue.  She, of course, wasn't a real intern.  The president of the company had hired her to investigate Miss Jones.  So far, Mandy had turned up nothing suspicious...except, of course, this trip across the country to bring back a locked briefcase.

Miss Jones was on the phone when Mandy entered.  A conversation that ended quickly when she entered the office.   Mandy was ordered to sit down and was just about to give her report when a masked guy with a gun appeared out of nowhere.  Mandy and Miss Jones put their hands up.  ''I'll take the briefcase", the man said as if it was an obvious request.   Then he kept asking Miss Jones for the combination to the briefcase.  Mandy had examined the briefcase closely and she knew that if the right combination wasn't entered. some sort of security effects would be activated.  Miss Jones must know the correct combination and the man knew it.  Still she refused to tell him what he wanted to know.

It was already after hours so the building was mostly empty.  Mandy considered their options...they didn't seem to have many at the moment.  "Do you have something to stuff in that girl's mouth?", the man asked of Miss Jones.  Indicating that she did, Miss Jones pulled out an assortment of handkerchiefs from her purse.  She had enough cloth in that purse to gag five women!
