After Houde, Bass and Guji left to begin their search for the missing John Q. Public, E and Cad discussed options.
E: We should leave her in the precinct Cad.
Cad: I know
E: But, we can take a chance, and maybe get the person hunting her to show themselves.
Cad: But who can we assign to this to look dumb enough to cause the person to actually try it?
E: I have the people for it.
Cad: No, you can't be serious
E: Oh yes
Cad: You sure about this?
E: Well, I still keep MWoF around, so who really knows.
Cad: Ok, you know your people.
E leaves his office, and bumps into someone in a janitor outfit.
E: Sorry about that.
TGO: My fault
E continues on to Hawkeye101 and Orson Scott Card's desk.
E: Boys, have I got a mission for you
Behind them a janitor listened with glee
TGO: They're moving the goods.

Meanwhile
Houde, Bass and Guji go to the one person they need to go too for information.
SlimJim.
They drive up to his place of residence, some slum in the middle of the slums.
Houde: I feel gansta over here.
Guji: You Americans, letting people live like this, in Britian we shot them.
Bass: Ya, it took some getting use too for me, but hey, wanna play bad cop?
Guji: Bad Cop?
Houde: Ya, we bust down the door and you grab SlimJim, and toss him around for awhile.
Guji: But why would I do that?
Bass: Because, it's how we do things over here across the pond
Guji: But isn't that against his rights?
Houde and Bass look at each other and laugh there heads off.
Houde: Rights? Man this guy is gold.
Bass: I know.
Some little kid runs up, jumps, and grabs Guji's Bobby Hat, and runs off with it.
Guji: HEY!
Bass: Should have warned you about that, the little buggers take anything that isn't nailed down.
They trio enter SlimJim's house.
Houde: OH SLIMMY!
The sound of someone falling in the kitchen isheard, followed by a groan of pain, then more crashing glass. The cops run in, guns in hand, and see SlimJim on the floor, knocked out cold, and a person running away.
Guji: YOU STOP!
He points.
The man keeps running.
Guji: Are we suppose to chase after them? Yelling usually works in Britian
Houde: Really? It usually never works here.
Bass: Guys, the person left something.
He holds up a key chain that has the initials J.Q.P.
Bass: Only in TV shows do clues like this get left behind.
Houde: We should check the prints with Compound and Ourchair.
Guji: Who are those people?
Houde: Our token Asians.
Guij: Really? I love little people!
:lol:
