Contacts instead of items

Contacts can be earned if you complete a favor, and the person you're doing the favor for does not give you anything in return. For instance, I quickly cleaned out a case with the help of HAIR ANALYSIS and I noticed that the person did not give me anything back. Curious, I thought of the possibility of making a contact. And, sure enough, I had! I had a Beret, Tweed Coat, Revolver, and Switch Blade that time. Now I'm hunting for more contacts. The only contact I have right now is the Priest (New York). So, how about you? Relate a short story about how you made your first contact. I hope I get another one soon! After all, it's just pure luck, you know . . .

Colonel, I hope I'm understanding correctly, but maybe not..lol. I think the first contact is given at random, but could be given if you've done more favors for that particular buiness merchant or not, I don't know for sure about that, but I do know that you can choose which of the four major contacts you want the second time, and only solve the favors for the 'Banker, Shoe Maker, Barber, or Tailor". I got four major contacts by way of solving favors for only the major contact desired, plus you can solve all the remainder of non-major contacts, such as the waitress, fortune teller, butcher, music teacher, and so on. Now, I did get the major contacts while doing favors during a treasure hunts. Not sure if it that matters, if a hunt, or not, but that's how I got the four major contacts, two of which were Texan, and my second contact, Agent_007. Just decide which major one you want, out of the "Shoe Maker, Banker, Tailor, or Barber," then only solve the favors for the one major, plus the rest of the others on the map is fine. You should get it after you've accumlated alot of experience points. Some gets the second one sooner, and others later?? Hope this was what you needed. If not, someone else will set me straight...hehe. Good luck.

Gees, that was a bit confusing, after I read back through it...lol. To simply put it....select which one of the 4 major contacts you want, then solve favors for that contact desired, along with all the rest of the non-major contacts, and you will get the one you want. Now, I got Texan's while doing a favor for the banker, during a treasure hunt, as well as the one for my other detective Agent_007, and I got the contacts desired for a couple of agents in our agency this way.
