In a corner of the Gumshoe Lounge, located in an airy wing of City Hall, Sir James lies on one of the incliners smoking a cigar and sipping his whiskey.
There are several spots available on the sofa's around the glass salon table.
You walk over and sit down.
'Go on, show us your Charms!' Sir James exclaims offering you a cigar and drink.

James looks at Gunn to see if he shows any sign of understanding what had just transpired. But Gunns face remains a mystery to him. He sits back, takes a sip of his whiskey and in a very casual voice asks Gunn:
"Ha. ha. ha, those girls, always working on some case or another, ha. ha. ha. Have you got any idea what they were talking about?"

Dudgeon laughs from across the street in his hotel room. "Wow, these microscopic microphones are good. Picked up everything that just went on over there. Wonder if Gunn and Sir James will figure out who is being talked about?"

Dudgeon puts his earpiece down and leaves the room to solve another case...he already has this one solved.

Dudgeon gets halfway down the street when he realizes that he just posted that he had a mic hidden across the street. He thinks, "Man, I need to learn to keep my mouth shut."

Vin stops to let Elsey catch up.

" I know and I think your right. I am sorry about the Misunderstanding back there."

" No prob I had to make it look like something was going on or the killer might suspect we know it is him."

At that point they look at Dudgeon who has approached them.

" I know it's you Vin Riddick. Give yourself up so I can get my Reward."

" Your Wrong young Sir. But I am willing to give you a little Hint."

" I don't need your hints. Iknow it's you and whenI get the proof you'll be sorry."
He then Stalked off in a huff.

'Poor Kid' Vin Thought to her self. ' He doesn't know what evil he is dealing with'

Elsey and Vin started down the street following the young man.

Dudgeon thinks to himself "I must have been sleepwalking, because I certaintly wasn't thinking of Vin Riddick. Either that or I was really drunk. Either's possible" :)

Dudgeon walks down the street. "Hey Cyrus! The usual!"

Elsey and Vin walk into the Tricky Mister and sit down on either side of Dudgeon.

"So," says Elsey, "you looked pretty confused with yourself as you accused Vin. Who do you Really think it is?"

Vin sits, swinging her legs on the barstool like a child. Elsey looks past Dudgeon toward Vin and just sighs. She turns back to Dudgeon and waits for his answer patiently.

Vin giggles Happily at Dudgeon's Distress.

" What's Wrong with her? he asks.
" Don't pay her any Attention. Vin is Unusal she changes and right now she is 6 years old."

" Six huh. Well maybe sheshouldn't be in here. But I guess it's ok. I really wan't thinking of Vin. I don't know what came over me when I accused her."

Vin Whispered in his ear and Dudgeon started to laugh.

"I guess she is six she just asked for a Shirley Temple. My little Cousin loves those things."

SO he bought her a Shirly and Vin Looked at Him strange.

" So Buddy," VIn says in a strange Deep voice. " Who are you accusing then"

Dudgeon stares down at his glass, lifts it, and finishes his beer. He takes a deep breath and leans back in his chair.

"Now, you two should know better. If I were to come up on you, you should know that I wouldn't just accuse you in broad daylight without having any proof. That's the quickest way to visit my friend over in the corner of the bar. No. That's not my style. The one that I would accuse has been in your midst during the day, however. He's a shady character, and quite frankly, I don't particularly care for him much. He thinks he's too smart for his own good."

Dudgeon blinks hard and looks around, realizing he's letting his personal life enter his detective life.

"Sorry you had to hear that. Cyrus, another one for me! Finding out what I know took awhile, and I'm not one to simply divulge that information. Hopefully, I'll simply pass out before I start talking, but stay around a little longer, and we'll see how things go."

Dudgeon takes his beer and drinks half of it, trying to forget.
