Part I

The phone on my desk started ringing about 10:30 that morning.I was supposed to be open for business,but a late night put me to bed late,and I wasn't stirring for nothing.It stopped eventually,but I was up.No use trying to drop back off,I thought,I had a feeling that it would ring again soon,and I wasn't wrong.I rolled over and grabbed the pipe left from last nights night cap.As I puffed it into life,the phone started it's annoying buzz again.
Who am I?My name's Jay Token.Forget the jokes,I've heard them all.I am the only pot detective that I know.What's a pot detective,you say?
Years ago,I saw the way that people could be ripped off or gyped by a bum,but they couldn't go to the cops,could they?So when they lost their herb,or got ripped off,they could call me,the Pot Detective.What do I do?I help the weak in their struggle with the thieves and low lifes that they couldn't possibly call the cops about when they get ripped off.In other words,I help them get their stash back,or if not that,then at least smoke one with them to help them chill out.
I shuffled over to my desk and sat down,grabbing a roach out of the ashtray and firing it up.Picking up the reciever I put it to my ear and said "Hello?".
"Token,that you?"
"Yeah,Jay Token,at your service."Who would this be?Silence met me for a second before a cold voice said..
"Stay away from the Govenor's daughter,asshole,or you'll be taking your last toke."
Fool started laughing as I yelled into the phone,then before I could get rolling with my response,a click came over the line and then went dead.
I set the phone back on the cradle as I hit the roach again.What does this all mean?Probably a mistake or something.I didn't even know any governors daughter.One thing for sure though,I wasn't going back to sleep,now,so I might as well get a buzz going.Swiveling my chair around,I looked out the window at the skyline,and fired up my desk hooka.On the second hit I took,the phone rang.I put down the lighter as I reached for the phone for the second time that morning.
"Hello?"
"Is this Mr. Jay Token?"A subdued womans voice answered as I picked up the lighter again.
"Yeah,this is Jay.What can I do for ya mam?"
"I have heard that you could take care of a problem I have sir,and be discrete about it?"Her voice was clear,but had a tone I to it I knew,the one that said she was coming down and needed to puff one.
"What is the problem mam?"
"Uh...could you possibly come to my home,Mr Token?I could send the limo' around for you in about an hour,perhaps?"The line went silent?
Limo?I sniffed some money and perked right up.As I set the lighter down again,I said,"That sounds good mam,and your name is?"
"Boll,Mr. Token.Anita Boll."
"Do you know where my office is?"
"Yes,it's at your house.Am I correct?"Nice voice.
"Sure,Ms. Boll,thats it."
"Well,I shall see you around lunch then,shall we say?"
"Yes mam,that will be fine."I said.
I said goodbye and set the phone down.If I was going out,I needed a shower and shave,so I headed for the bathroom,grabbing a pre-rolled spliff from my pack on the table.
