Vinnie Deegan opened his eyes at the sound of the doorbell. " Get down Rodger Dodger" he said to the white cat who was resting on his lap. The cat jumped off. He got up from the couch and put on some worn black slippers. He walked over and opened the front door a crack. " Yes".

" I saw your ad" replied a short pudgy manwho wore glasses. " The ad was about a white van for sale".

" Oh yes". He pointed toward a closed garage. " I will show it to you". He put on some tennis shoes, walked outside and led the man to the garage. He opened the door and turned on the light. It revealed a small white van with no markings.

" As you can see it is not a very large van". 

The two began to walk around it.

" Why do you need it for?".

The man grinned. He took a wallet out of his back pocket. " I'm going to start a small delivery service".

" I see".

" I'll take the van". He smiled at Vinnie. " I would like to pay cash for it".

The sale was finalized.

They began to walk toward the garage door.

The stranger noticed something in a corner of the cluttered garage. " Are you going to use that pile of rope?".
