Darcy simply nodded and left."Of course not. I am a private secretary to Lawyer Dawson. I do errands for him when it pleases me and for extra money. Why would I be any kind of a watch dog for anyone?" Miss Linda spoke quickly with a bit of resentment in her voice.

"Private secretary, huh" Commented the detective " Don't get upset that I commented on that, because I need to know where YOU stand with your employer." Filling his mouth, chewing then continues his assault as points with his salad fork holding bits of lettuce still on it. " You say that you ONLY do it when it please you, so sister.... you wanaa work for a ruffian like me?" Giving her his best boyish charms that she will ignore. " Now... before you say "NO" to me, since your working right now for LAywer Dawson, that I'm going to assume that you like me *pointing to himself* Need money". 

Going back to his drink and his meal for a bit as she was perhaps in shock

" Look... I"m not good with asking for help, I just need a little push... as long as you don't tell anybody...please" Those words "please" where weak... but he was sure that she still heard him.

Of course i remember quite a bit of the case and took notes of what I could on my own time of course. it might be interesting to do some researching....>

"I am going to send a text to Lawyer Dawson and I'll be right back with the answer to your previous request for a research secretary." Miss Linda spoke.

After a few texts, Miss Linda spoke to Detective Simmions"I have the next several weeks off to assist you. Of course I stay here and do my research while you do the footwork where ever it may lead you to." she announced as she forked some of her salad.

" So how much did I lose hiring you?" Simmions smirked

" Well... I'll be heading to Planto,tx... where all of my "Ex"s are he smiled and raise his finger before a certain woman might have corrected him... " Easy tootise.. it's a country song"

Clearing his throat

" I need you , little lady to find me a ... "
**the detective picked up the news clipping**
" address and or phone number for a Ms / Mrs Grace Sullivan... would you be a doll and do that for me?"
