After over six months of absence here I am again. In Sleuthville.
And in a bar, where else... Currently I´m in Delhi and the Bartender, Jasraj, isn´t nice at all. Maybe I should have another whiskey.
I was going to go home today but some pirates blocked my way. I´ve never been to good with them and I couldn´t negotiate with them this time either. Another night in the mudhole...
Yeah, I left Sleuthville a few months ago, I wanted to spread my wings and get new experiments. I did but i won´t bother you with them at all. Maybe later.
My old agency, Sirens, welcomed me back and I even got my old desk. I´ve encountered a bunch of old friends too. Come on, sit with me, drinks are on me (i have to do something to get Jasraj in a good mood..).

Reese walks up with a drink in hand, and a cigarette dangling out her mouth. No, not lady like, but she never claimed to be one. Atleast, when it didn't come into good use.
She over heard tollo thinking out loud, and Reese stops, takes the cigarette out of her mouth,blows the smoke away from tollo, then says, "Excuse me, did I hear you mention Jasraj?" Tollo nodded, and Reese grinned. "May I sit down?", Reese says. tollo nods again. Reese smiles, then says, "Jasraj giving you a rough time?" Tollo says, "Do you know him?" Reese says, "I most certainly do. I have my own room that he saves for me when I've had a bit too many. He is a very dear friend of mine" Tollo eyes widen, and she says, "How do you get on the good side of that man? He always walks around so grumpy!" Reese chuckles, and says, "Not really. He is a very sweet man, you just have to know how to get around his exterior." Tollo says, "How?" Reese grins, while responding, "Now what kind of detective would I be, if I told you that? I hear you're a good detective so you should be able to get to his softer side, you just have to have patience. Talk to him about triffids" Reese stands up, as tollo says, "What is a triffid?" As she puts her cigarette out, and takes the final swig of her drink, she says, "Just mention them, and he will talk your ear off about them" tollo nods, although still not sure she was being serious, but thanks her just the same for her help.
Reese walks out the door, heading to see Jasraj, since she was headed there anyway before she made her way back home to Shanghai. Jasraj would clobber her if she was in town and didnt stop to see him.
"Good luck, detective!", Reese hollers over her shoulder, as the bar door closes behind her.
