@Shaktzi I am liking it so far!  If you could please use the CS format as I have provided above that would most fantastical.

@Polyphemus  Delightful!  You have encapsulated much of what I am looking for in this.  Accepted, please move him over to the character tab!  Name your hider, upon moving it over, the name of the archetype he will portray.

@knifeman  I would prefer if you are wanting to add a pic, that they be of real people.  Don't worry, you are not the only one who has a drawn picture, I will make an addendum to that rule to make myself more clear.  Here are a few actresses of the era you can look at that I think have a similar sort of appearance.  Betty Compson, Corrine Griffith, Marion Davies, and Anita Paige.  Your drawing is absolutely lovely tho!  Would make a good wanted poster if needed.

@The Forgotten  I hope I haven't scared you off.  Please feel free to PM if you have questions or want to discuss things.  I am happy to be of assistance.

The Story


Miss Hobbs replaced the beautiful mother of pearl listening device back onto its matching carriage.  It was of the French design and matched the very modern white and black decor of her penthouse home.  There were hints of pastels here and there in furniture, painting, or drapery but she preferred to keep it for the most part quite stark.

She had just finished her last phone call with the potential candidates.  She was awed that so many would be willing to work under an inexperienced lady detective.  Opening up a pack of Lucky Strikes, she approached the window to watch the world below scrabble about.  Among the living, she saw the dead.  Sometimes it was heartbreaking to see a mother scream at her son as he works himself to the bone.  Her tears as she begs him to relax lest he joins her too soon.  Things like this chewed at her and she quickly shook her head to rid herself of the memory.

Rubbing a hand over her face she turned back to the room and sat behind the desk.  Bitsy lit her cigarette and began pouring over her notes, carefully searching the words and the feelings she’d felt over the phone.  Lovingly she touched each name and let herself get a sense of their futures.  Who would be a good fit?  After giving her cigarette a good puff she called out, “Mister Foley.”

“Yes Miss?”  He was in the office within seconds.  Foley was a tall, slender man with sharp features and a countenance that surely would have once been extremely handsome.

“I think we’ll need some good champagne, do you think you could check my stock and see what is available?  I think we should have a little party to celebrate when my crew comes together.”  She flashed a toothy and charming smile.

“As you wish.”  He returned the smile before sweeping from her office.  

Bitsy leaned back in her chair and put her feet up on the desk like she had seen in a silent picture once.  It was rather uncomfortable for her short frame so she brought her heeled feet back to the ground, and picked up the newspaper instead.  It was now she saw her advertisement in the paper.  They had shortened it!  She paid good money for that ad.  Bitsy pursed her lips and tossed the paper aside.  No wonder so many had applied.  None of them knew they’d be working for a woman. She pushed back from the desk and left the office.  “I look forward to meeting you all in person,” she said to the papers on the desk and turned off the lights.  “What a surprise it will be for all of us.”
