He turned his head to eye me up. &#8220;Or is this going to be Weehawken all over again?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That was a loaded question. I had an escapade with John in that town, tunneling into a bank vault, only we miscalculated and popped up in the self-help section of the public library. Thing is, I knew he and Jason also tried a heist in Weehawken. This had to be a test. But the only details I&#8217;d ever learned from my twin were that they tripped a sprinkler system, there was a bartender involved who took the fall but nevertheless <em>remained footloose and single<\/em>-minded about gin, and one of them had at one point impersonated the mayor&#8217;s son, Matthew.<\/p>\n<p>Laying the lisp on thick, I asked, &#8220;Are you still in contact with Matt?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Oh yes,&#8221; John replied, &#8220;<em>or at least his trust fund<\/em>.

She said, &#8220;You next!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Not wanting to find out what means of persuasion a ticked-off TSS-A unit might have at her disposal, I dove after John. But my shoulders are broader than his, and I immediately got stuck. The quick-thinking Tessabot began shoving on my buttocks in an effort to cram me through the opening.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think you like this,&#8221; I said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>I live for the eroticism<\/em>,&#8221; she replied, and shoved harder.<\/p>\n<p>John thought I&#8217;d been addressing him. Grabbing my wrists and yanking, he said, &#8220;Guess I&#8217;m just a sentimental fool.
