A young man confronts Jack Altavon Talison. The man says he is Roger Acton, and he has a case for Jack. Something involving murder, pie, dead Zachary Acton, and more murder. And a suspect called Jerome Lormos.
"And what do you pay for this?" Jack asks.
"$600 for solving the case." Roger replies.
"Er...uh...I guess I'll take it."
"Did I mention I told an assortment of other detectives about it? And that I will gve the reward to the one detective who solves the case, using all means possible?"
"Uh, no, you didn't mention it until now."
A knife is suddenly thrown at Jack. It narrowly misses him.

Sophie suddenly appears out of the shadows. "I have to say, I'm impressed. Your theories are all quite amusing but you've gotten off course. Talianna was touching the tip of the iceburg when she discovered a connection to a drug cartel."
Sophie pauses, enjoying their rapt attention mingled with skeptiscism.
"Did anyone bother to trace down the origin of the knife? I didn't think so, perhaps you should look into that, afterall you don't see a titanium scalpel every day. I'll only give you one clue, vague but I'm certain you will take it to the completion of this mystery. Look for out-of-town talent, yes........hired talent."
Sophie strolls back into the shadows, turns and with a wink over her shoulder says "Be seeing you."

So this all had to do with drugs? I asked myself.
But when did we ever find a knife?

It suddenly hit me on what we needed to do.
"Guys," I said, "We need to find the knife that was thrown at Jack Altavon Talison. Whoever has the knife has evidence to a murder attempt. I bet our murderers were involved somehow."

"Right, I think it was unrecovered. Or maybe...." I stopped for a second to think it over, "Our client! Roger Acton. He could have token it and hid it or something."
"Alright, will start with him." said Mack.

I nodded. My head started getting a wee bit fuzzy. A drug cartel? Confusion hit me harder than a truck. Something wasn't right... why was my brain feeling like one of those smashed pies...?
"Does... does anyone know... what kind of drugs we're talking about?" I stuttered embarrasingly. I placed my hand to my head, as if having a migraine. What if... those pies... were filled with these drugs...? More importantly, what if by being smashed with one, I was starting to get affected?
((OOC: Sorry, haven't been online in *forever* I'm a wee bit out of the loop. I looked at past pages, but still a little confused. Good job at playing my character! You guys are awesome!!))

"Tali," I asked, "are you all right?"
