The buzzing was driving Colby nuts. He tracked the fly until it landed, and then he picked up a sheaf of papers.
"If you get fly guts all over that report, you are going to redo the whole thing," growled David, who didn't even turn around to see what his partner was up to.
Colby gave him a dirty look, then transferred the glare to the fly.
"Here," Nikki said.
Colby turned just in time to catch the Penny Saver that Nikki had tossed at him.
The Penny Saver was a flyer that flooded every physical mailbox in California, maybe the United States, the way that e-mail from Nigerian bankers' widows filled everybody's e-mail. But at least the Penny Saver was useful for something, like finding bargains, selling junk and swatting flies.
The fly landed on Colby's monitor. Colby rolled up the Penny Saver and leaned forward.
The fly fled.
Colby swore under his breath. He flailed after the fly, smacking everything just seconds after the fly escaped.
"Granger, you need glasses?" David mocked, still without looking.
Colby snarled at David, and then looked around for the fly. Several swats later, he took a deep breath, shifted his grip on the Penny Saver and landed a ferocious blow... on the top of David's head.
"D'oh!" David cried. He jumped up and finally looked at Colby.
Colby smirked and displayed the squashed bug.
"You had to wait for him to land on me?" David sighed and rubbed his head.
"Are you kidding?" Nikki snarked. "Granger nailed that thing three swats ago."
David glared, seeing the truth of Nikki's accusation in Colby's face.
"Here," Nikki said, tossing David another copy of the Penny Saver.
David grinned nastily and rolled his paper up.
Colby ran for it, with David hot on his heels.
