There I was, investigating this missing dame, and it's Channel 6's Judy Wong, the last lady I want to meet.

There's nothing glamorous about sitting in a Cadillac Convertible for 5 hours waiting for a Languini operative to wake up. But wake up he has, and we're off. On the late night streets of LA.

and it's so nice, just driving
around looking for clues

Wiretapping's illegal but there's no law against having really good hearing is there? Not that I have any hearing left on account of all the freaks I've been blasting with my Smith & Wesson.

Barely moving. I'm like the next car over, trying to act casual while I record this.

There I was, investigating this missing dame, and it's Channel 6's Judy Wong, the last lady I want to meet.

I had doubts about was I was about to do, but I couldn't just leave Judy Wong of all people missing with no leads.

"Chief," I hesitated to speak, "I got some decent leads on your Judy Wong. You could say me an' her gotta history togetha' and less than half of it's any kinda good. But even though we were on-and-off with each other, I gotta do right by a dame, especially a dame with great gams like her."

I carefully laid out some folders with a bunch of leads on the desk, clearly labeled.

"I, uh, I was lookin' for dirt on 'er as an ex-lover does, but it seems she's in something way deeper than a one-night stand in a seedy motel with an agency secretary."

The chief furrowed his brow in a way that made it clear that I was a suspect, but before he could say anything I raised my hand to say something more.

"Not every detective joint's hot about a sassy secretary that gets involved with dames, but me an' Judy, we jus' had a fling... well, maybe a few flings. It wasn't serious, but we did a little tit for tat... information wise, I mean. Anyways," I shook my head to clear my own doubts, "this here's a buncha profiles on the people's she's been known to buzz around, pictures n' all, when she's lookin' for a scoop about some low-down creeps like Jimmy 'Muscles' Muscoletti and Giorno 'The Joe' Giopetti."

I sauntered out the office like one of those detective's dames, feeling about as low as loose change that rolled into a city sewer grate, but knew I had a job to do. Those great danes were due to return any moment, and a sassy secretary at the front desk always put those mutts in their place. But Higgins--the sassy secretary guy in the short shorts--has the day off, and that leaves me to cover the front desk at times like these.

Retiring is out of the question for me; being a detective agency secretary is the only life I know how to live now.
