Title: Replacing Minty

So Minty had gone. The Clown had helped keep me busy since the Viking Funeral but there was still a hole where my beautiful pet Great White had been. I'd catch myself saying silly things to captive spies about throwing them to the shark; only to look a right idiot as I apologetically had them shot instead.

Every now and then I'd catch The Clown looking almost sympathetically at me from over the top of the newspaper at breakfast.

"Have you thought anymore about getting that nice Mr. Speilberg to give you the stuffed shark from the Universal lot?"

I just rolled my eyes menacingly and tutted loudly as I cracked the top off my boiled egg.

"We could pop it in the Fish Tank in the corner of the lair and rig it up to nibble on the odd Henchman?" she pursued and gave up as I went from 'affronted Acme' into 'sulking Acme'.

"I picked you up a little something from the bayou when I went home last week." The Clown nonchalantly motioned for the nearest Henchman, who winked and scurried out of the room.

"For me?" I mused, just a little curiously. "What is it?"

"Ever heard of 'No Names'?" The Clown lowered her voice. "Out there in them bayous a body can jest disappear an' we alls know it's them thar 'No Names' what done it."

The door opened and a worried looking Henchman clicked in whilst glancing furtively at the taught lead attached to the most beautiful looking 'gator I'd ever seen.

"Oh, my wonderful Clown! He's beautiful. What's his name?"

"Snappy-Happy-Tea-Chest, but that's his show name. Jest call him what ya like!"
