The shamus scratched at his pale cheek, seemingly pondering on what he could say. He didn't know the new kid, not when they could easily be a wrong gee, but if the bearcat thought he wasn't just some chiseler, then Yoshinori Sasori would give him a chance to take a flutter at the caper too. He couldn't rattle much out of this queer case, so maybe the kids could take a squint instead.

"All the other cans have gone croak," he explained, crossing his arms. "But the goons behind this lav got a clean sneak. Lammed off before the prowl-car boys even got an eyeful."

He'd gone 'round to grease something out after the kids had left, but no dice. It should've been eggs and coffee to nab some extra, but the rest had gone and faded by the time he drove back. Without even the bulls noticing. Man, he thought he was a bit of a card sharp, but whoever were these hard numbers certainly made him look like a real dope.

And if that dingus inside was a sign, he fingering them on being definitely from upriver.

"You kids wanna come in?" asked the detective for a second, adjusting his hat. "Don't want no rough customers catching wind."

Kimiko shrugged and led the gang inside from atop DRU, with Daisuke hot on the little robot's [s]w[/s]heels and Hitomi and Kazou bringing up the rear of the children's crusade. They were hardly inside when DRU swiveled around to bring Kimiko face to face with Sasori, and her questions began.

[color=00a651]"What? How could all those bots have been glommed off? There were at least ten five spots worth of 'em. What about that ugly mug I konked in the back of the wagon? You jugged that and brought it back, righto? It's not like it can just take the run-out, it's a [i]puss.[/i]"[/color]

It may have been a Tommy gun's drum mag worth of questions fired off in rata-tata-tat-tat rapid fire fashion, but hey, if Kimiko's gut was right, that's why the dick had taken a shine to her in the first place.
