about sixty, but he put me in contact with his daughter the lawyer which means I will have an important contact near Wall Street that I may use.  The waitress who I happen to know is a single mother will get the majority of that tip and can use it.”
                  Miranda stared at her in amazement.  She had thought Francesca was a date but looking at Karin she wondered if perhaps she had deliberately confused Jana further for her impertinent question of earlier.
                  They talked about the city as they made their way back to her apartment.  “I have to walk D.O.G. would any of you care to go along?” Karin asked when they arrived back.  At the word “walk” D.O.G. ran around in circles and then took off for a cabinet in the kitchen which he opened with his nose and grabbed a lead which he brought and held in his mouth for her.  They all laughed at his antics.
                  Miranda was the only one that took Karin up on her offer “how do you afford that apartment?” she repeated her question of earlier.
                  Karin smiled as she watched D.O.G. sniff at things as they walked along.  She had given him the command to ‘range’ when they started out so his incessant smelling wouldn’t drive her nuts.  It was a casual walk opposite the way they had gone to the restaurant and she had explained to Miranda that there was a dog park this way so they were heading down there.  “When I got the promotion from Chicago I had some extra money but the dump I was living in was a little much, I didn’t really care but I had adopted this monster” she indicated D.O.G. who had seen another dog and was straining the leash a little but not too much to have her admonish him.  “I went with a couple of the people from the office to an estate sale and no one was bidding on these apartments that had come up.  I knew the address from having walked him around here so I was confused.  I put in a ridiculously low bid and it was accepted.  I got my pick of the apartments and chose the highest one available at the time in the building.  People were snickering at me and I wondered if I had made a mistake.  When I went the next day to see what I had purchased I was astounded at the condition of the apartment.  The maintenance bill alone to live there was kind of ridiculous but you see I have a doorman, an elevator man, a car man, etc.  The security is awesome.  The apartment though hadn’t been used in like 30 years.  It was disgustingly filthy and had been used for storage since back in like the 60’s.  I went through the boxes and nothing of note was in them.  I filled the garbage bins down the shoot many times over, they complained to me about all the debris I shot down those so I tried not to do it but twice a week right before or right after I knew the garbage trucks had collected.  It took a while to get everything out of that apartment and then I started ripping down the paneling.  Remember that paneling that went up during the sixties and seventies that was so cool?” she asked Miranda who was listening to this amazing story and nodded.  All she had known is that Karin had an apartment in New York, nothing about the background behind it.  “Well that lined the living room and hallway, no one even knew about the den, it had been hidden behind this awful paneling.”
                  “A hidden room?” Miranda said excitedly loving the sound of it.
                  Karin laughed “yeah but nothing like that” she said knowing her friends penchant for mysteries and although there was more she told her just enough.  “Just a room that wasn’t listed on the inventory.  It actually is a room that could have been claimed by the other apartment but since the doorway obviously went into my apartment it is now mine, legally and in use.”
                  Miranda shook her head in amazement at her friend’s
