So there I was, sitting back in my office, my typewriter hidden under a stack of old case files and rent overdue notices. I take a drag from a Chesterfield, enjoying the slight rush from the cigarette as I let out a cloud of smoke with a sigh. My office is spartan, with just a few file cabinets, some pictures of my time in the force, and a framed letter signed by Mr. J. Edgar Hoover himself.
Two months now, and not a single case. Maybe San Francisco was turning around, becoming a model city. I chuckle a bit and take another drag. Like that would ever happen. The criminal underworld never just falls away to dust. But here I am, having to find lost pets or keep tabs on some dame for a jealous lover. I am craving some action, just as much as my .38 revolver was craving more blood.
Just then, someone knocks on my door. C'mon in, I say out loud, as the stranger enters my office.
