“Bennie, you can’t miss it. It’s the only one down there.”
“Okay, Gianni, but can you describe it more?”
Gianni sighed. “It’s a Citroen Deux, their trademark ugly green. White top.”
“Uuuhhhhh–how about you give me the license plate?”
“Good grief! Okay, it’s DJ-865-TY. Now, would you just GO?”
“Well, why? Do you want to buy it?”
“BENNIE! Maybe, maybe no. Come on, just go take a look!”
“You can’t be too careful——“
Gianni backed his wheel chair from the balcony, frustrated with his friend. “Yes, you CAN be too careful! Life passes you by.”
Just Writing! 
Deftly done. Linda

It must be difficult to have to rely on others to carry out your investigations!

Indeed. Especially if there was a time when you could do it yourself.

Dear Linda,
There’s no denying it’s an ugly car. Subtle message at the end.
Shalom,

Thenks :). I really didn’t know how I was going to end it, until I started thinking about WHY he couldn’t do the investigating himself.

True that life passes us by.
This is the reality.
He is on wheel chair & despite his instructions, his friend can’t understand!

Bennie is a worrier, not a warrior :). He lives in the Land of Whatif.

That car must be in very high demand. At first I plum overlooked the wheel chair. That keeps it interesting
