it was a cold rainy day, but then again, it always is...
I was drinking another cup of bad coffee when she walked in. Actually, she took me by surprise because i was staring out the window again with my feet up on the desk thinking about how the rain never seems to stop in this city and she said 'you must be Mr Samuels,' and i almost spilled my coffee and i looked over and there was this little girl of about seven years standing in front of me.
So i said 'i am Mr Samuels, yes, but Blake is fine,' and she said 'i saw your advert in the paper,' and i said 'there's an advert in the paper?' and she said 'yes,' and i said '...really?' and she said 'yes,' again so i figured it had to be true so i said, 'and how can i help you today?' and she got a sad look in her eyes and sat down across from me and told me what had happened.
Her name is May, and a few weeks ago her dog went missing. The dog's name is Kasahara, a black female daschund with a love of doughnuts and yellow balls (appalled by blue, apparently). When she had last seen it, her father was taking it to a country farm so it could play with other dogs for a while but she had not seen it since and was beginning to get worried but she didn't live with her dad anymore and didn't know where he lived so couldn't ask him. And so she came to me.
'Ok!!' i said, 'I will find Kasahara for you!' and she said, 'how can i pay you?' and i said 'payment?' and she said 'yes,' and i said, 'oh, right. You pay me to look for stuff, huh?' and she said 'yes,' and i couldn't work out how much i was supposed to charge because i'd never known any detectives so i said 'If you can find a place that sells really good muffins, like a cafe or something, then we can call it even, ok?' and she seemed a bit happier with that and left.
So i walked around in the rain for a while but i couldn't work out where to start looking, and all of a sudden it was dark so i came back here and decided i would work out a plan for tomorrow. I think the first thing to do would be to track down May's dad and ask him, but first i need to find out a little more about him.
Damn, i really should have asked May about that earlier!
This detective stuff is kind of harder than i thought...
Blake out.
