Miss Linda had everything ready for whoever was the chosen detective. She wouldn’t know until the last minute who it would be. And she would not even ask such a question of Lawyer Dawson. He was a strange one, he was. She sat down to do some mundane typing and while she was typing, a buzzer sounded.
She checked her hair quickly before entering the inner office.
“Yes, Lawyer Dawson?” she spoke softly for he hated loud talking for some odd reason.
“I have a list of detectives on the desk for you to call. All instructions are listed. For this case I can not use my regular detectives for they are too well known and this is a secret investigation for an overly well to do client. Start at the top and stop when you find one who will take the job as it stands. I do mean every word of the instructions.” The man spoke from a chair that faced the window.
“Yes, Lawyer Dawson. I shall do this immediately. If I do not reach the first right away, do I wait until he is contacted before going to the next one?” Miss Linda asked.
“No. Keep calling one after another until you get an answer from one of them to do the job. If all refuse the job, let me. In fact let me know each time you contact one. Put the intercom on so that I can listen in. I’ll buzz you if I do not like the sound of the detective.” He responded not even moving a fraction of an inch.
“Very well then.” Miss Linda turned and walked out.

An hour later, Miss Linda had been laughed at, phone slammed in her ear and called a loony twice. Now to try the fifth detective.
She quickly dialed the number.

“Hello, this is Lawyer Dawson’s office calling for .” she inquired politely.

“I have a serious job offer for you if you care to take it.” She began the whole thing once more in hopes that at least she could get through the whole thing this time.

“The job that needs to be done is a secret investigation for a special client. This client wants to find a specific female before he passes away. The client is not going to pass away any time soon but wants to find this female as soon as possible.
All expenses will be paid as they are incurred by either cash that you will be given or by a special charge card. An RV will be ready for you because you will be traveling extensively possibly. If there is a questionable expense, you will be contacted by myself.
A cell phone will be provided for you and a laptop of the highest quality that can be bought. One that many police would die for supposedly.
On the completion of the investigation will be a 25,000 dollar reward. You will get 5,000 dollars each month in addition.
Any questions that you have for me to answer?” Miss Linda smiled as she finished her speech without being interrupted.

" Wow... that was a mouthful. If this is a legitimate offer, then you can meet me at the Motel 6, next to the Diner off of starling rd and sterling drive. Do you know where that is?" The Voice Asked " If so... you got an 30 minutes to meet me, got it lady" The voice said

Miss Linda paused and looked at the door where Lawyer Dawson was listening in. He nodded and she spoke somewhat hesitantly

"I know exactly where the Motel 6 is. In an half hour.... I can barely make it since I am across town. I won't meet a man at the Motel because I do have a reputation to protect but I could meet you at the diner if you want to meet there. You know how easy reputations are ruined by a misconstrued idea by people who might see us in the room...." she spoke into the phone as the lawyer went into his office.

The voice chuckles " For that kinda money, honey.... I'll find who, what , where and when from anyone".

"I don't know what people say about me ... but most of its true, I still hold my license and I get the job done, Messy?... sometimes but the end results are what matters. Cash.. upfront and I'll need a detailed list about my parameters".

"Fine... diner it is.. oh and don't get cheap on my neither.... you'll be picking up for the pie and the coffee".

"Fine. Let me go get my purse and your briefcase then I shall be on my way. I expect you to eat a good meal if I am treating you out. Bye!" Miss Linda put the phone down in the cradle softly and turned to Lawyer Dawson who just came out.

"Use this card and treat him well enough but not too well. Try to get back to work by morning. Good night Miss Linda and good luck on your mission." Lawyer Dawson spoke seriously as he handed a new card to her.

"Thank you Lawyer Dawson, May I keep the change?" Miss Linda smiled at the tall man.

"If you want it. It's only a 5 k card anyways. Now scoot before you are late."

Miss Linda picked up her purse and put her new card in her wallet then checked for the contents of her purse and used her lipstick. She closed the purse and picked up the briefcase.

"My cab ready?" she asked.
"Of course." he replied.

25 minutes later.......

Miss Linda got out of a cab and walked into a diner. She walked to a table and sat down. She order a coffee and said that she was waiting for someone to meet her there, She took out a book by Lilian Jackson Braun which was her favorite author.

A tall lanky man wearing a brown trenchcoat ( Cliché), blackshoes, white shirt, black tie,, short military crew cut, glasses,, with a newspaper folded under his arm comes in and scans for a seat. He walks to a seat that is occupied by Miss Linda and asks " Is this seat taken?"

She can recognise his voice from the phone

Miss Linda looked up from her book with a raised eyebrow.
"It depends as to whether or not you are interested in sitting there for a business dinner. I do have other things to do yet tonight."

She tucks a book mark in the book and sits on the table next to her then takes a drink of her coffee.

"Yup... hot coffee and a colder woman, this is the right place.." he remarked back " I almost thought that I was seeing one of my exs" He smirked. Then the gentleman sat down. "I believe that you have something for me... something green?"

"Sorry I am not an ex of yours. However, I do have something brown for you. And a piece of paper as well." Miss Linda pulled a folded note out of her purse.
"Detective Simmon, Former Police Officer, correct? If not then this will not help you much. Because you will need to know several number sets. Then you may have the green. Officer badge number, Social Security number, last wife's birth date and your first marriage date." Miss Linda read off the note.

A man in a dark turtle neck walked in and sat down at a table not too far away. He ordered a coffee and BLT basket. He open a paper that he was carrying.

His face went blank... it lost all of its color.

"Y-Yes Ma'am" He gulped " How did you?..." He leaned in to her " I did make my lst payment to her and I still have the check to prove it, ok?"

" Yes... My Badge number was 404, My last four are 5632, I can't remember that bitch's birthday all those years and that is why I'm divorced"
he hissed " Let alone that she caught me with her sister" he explained under his breath so that others couldn't hear him speak to her. " My first marriage was may 05, 1978"

Damn... he thought to himself... she does better research then me, crap... I wonder if she know about .... his thoughts continued to race in his head.

In a different tone he became more humble and didn't call her "tootsie"

Miss Linda nodded and then put that paper in her purse. She then took out a business card and handed it to him with a smile.

"You passed well enough. This is the combo of the briefcase. In there you will find some clippings of the person that you are to find. You are to report in often to let us know that you are still working on the case. I do not have anymore information on the lady that you are to find. Now what would you like to have for dinner?"

"Crow"....weakly smiled

The man looked over the briefcase and attempted to open the lock with the code given to him.

" What would you suggest eating?" he queried

"I am fond of the pork chops and the mashed potatoes with gravy is excellent. I'd start off with a nice crisp salad though. Then see what kind of pies they have today which has a wonderful flakey crust. The roast beef is very good and so is the fried chicken. I am sure that anything on the menu would be excellent. Perhaps you would like a nice steak of some sort." Miss Linda spoke as she got the attention of the waitress who came over.

"This meal is on me tonight, Darcy. Order what you want."

"What would you like to have today, sir?" Darcy asked with a smile.

"Can I get a roast beef sandwich, with a salad or something.... surprise me, please" he said with a chuckle to darcy.

Then after ordering his attention turned to the briefcase and what was inside...

Simmon scanned over the documents and began a series of questions alone. " I'm going to need help with this, can you get me someone to do research and I'll go to all places physical... or will that have to come out of my pay?" he asked " Because in this day and age... everything is on some sort of computer but I don't trust everything, I trust my gut, you know?" he commented.
" I would prefer an older woman with computer skills and knows how to do research ...like one of those MLS types, Master in library sciences".

Miss Linda smiled as she sipped her coffee as she thought. She took out a steno note pad and a pen for notes.

:Perhaps I can find someone who has that kind of a degree. What would you pay her for her services as a researcher? How many hours would you need her research services? How will you get in contact with her?" she asked as she wrote each question down in her own form of short hand.
"I can ask Lawyer Dawson to recommend someone and see if it will account as an expense for you."

Simmon scanned over the documents again... with a heavy sigh.

"Your boss is looking for someone and or something." ... " I have a feeling that something is amiss, I'll need help double checking dates and I'll visit gravesites... to make sure that the dead are dead and what is buried... is buried". he explained "Laywer Dawson can find the truth but it is gonna cost him.. a bit".

"Miss Linda smiled as she spoke.
"It won't cost him but this special client. Here is our food. I'd like to eat with out talking business if you don't mind."

Darcy sat the food on the table.
"A crisp lettuce salad to start each of you with. Here are the selections of dressing and the topping tray. Anything in particular that you would like to drink, sir?" Darcy asked as she sat a basket of assorted crackers and one of bread sticks down.

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.
Then she thought to herself <This guy has some nerve! Perhaps I should make this a quick meal. Or I could be the one who does the research if the price is right...... 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.

"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.

" 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?"
