"\"So, Munrab, what is it? Why have you called me here?\"|
|
|
|
|
|
\"Listen, Detective, I've had a terrible day in your lousy little town, so
|
|
let me be brief. Receipts have been down all month, tonight's gate was
|
|
especially small, the towners were tightfisted, they nearly leveled my
|
|
grandstand, and on top of that somebody's kidnapped my daughter, Chelsea.
|
|
That's where you come in. Here's the most recent picture of her -- a pretty
|
|
good likeness in my opinion.\"|

\"" D ,MUNRAB ", why are we whispering?\"" CR>

"\"I don't know, because it's a mystery I guess. Anyhow, it's not because
|
|
I suspect any of my own people here on the lot.\" There's a pause. \"I've
|
|
got a pretty loyal crew here. Sure, I work the guys a fair amount, but hey,
|
|
no one joins the circus expecting a holiday.\"|
|
|
|
|
|
Lacking all passion and professionalism, the detective replies, \"I'll
|
|
suspect who you want me to suspect. You're paying the bill.\"|
|
|
|
|
|
\"Here, see, the language of this ransom note clearly shows that it's not
|
|
an inside job. Detective, I don't know what kind of crazies are running
|
|
loose in this town, but I'm afraid harm might come to my daughter if the
|
|
police were to show up. God knows this circus doesn't need that kind of
|
|
publicity, anyway. So I'm relying on you and you alone.\"|
|
|
|
|
|
\"I'd better hold on to that note, Munrab.\"|
|
|
|
|
|
\"Alright, then get going.\"|
