other girl the same thing?

You mean Pocahontas?

She's my girlfriend, she gets a free pass.

How romantic.

She part of your gang too?

Not yet.

But she'll come around.

What happens if someone

doesn't pay their daily fee?

They get taught a lesson.

Don't you move, cow pie.

Hold on there, Axel.

Not bad for a girl.

Make you a deal.

Do us enough favors, you

can ride these streets

all you want.

I'm sure you don't give

many offers like that.

Like I said, you're

smarter than you look.

I'll pass.

Big mistake.

Better watch out, Cowgirl.

You and your family.

Thanks.

Friendly neighborhood?

Colorful.

So how was your first day?

Oh, it was okay.

A few nurses in another unit were let go.

They were fired?

No, it was just a low census.

When the hospital doesn't

have enough patients

in a particular unit,

the hospital has to let

people go sometimes.

Would this ever happen

to someone in your unit?

Well, the thing is.

(TV NEWS IN BACKGROUND)

Hello?

Oh, hi.

Yeah.

I wish.

Well, it's not very good.

[TV] Now we go live to Tracy Storm

who is outside the museum.

Tracy, what can you tell us?

Well, Erica, the key that was discovered

just a few days ago was

stolen here last night.

The key is believed to have once belonged

to Walter Smith.

The legendary tycoon who

died in a house fire in 1855.

The archeologist who led the excavation

is offering a $5000 reward for its return.

No, it's not good.

I don't think it'll last

more than a couple of weeks.

(SLOW MUSIC)

You're right, she needs it.

(UPBEAT RHYTHMIC MUSIC)

Can I help you?

I appreciate that, but

I think I can manage.

I'm quite certain your

people were already here.

Are you sure another

crime scene investigation

is really necessary?

I'm not exactly with the police, sir.

You don't say.

Based on my initial findings,

I'd say whoever committed this crime

wasn't much taller than I am.

And how would you know that?

I know things about short people.

I see.

What do you know about the stolen key?

Just what I've heard on the news.

Why would somebody want this key so badly?

Well, depends on what it unlocks.

Any ideas?

My theory is it has something

to do with Walter Smith's

hidden collectibles.

We were digging around where

his mansion used to be.

And some people believe we

should have left it all alone.

Why's that?

According to urban legend,

he was cursed.

Well, this is a nice surprise,

what brings you out here?

I'm investigating the burglary.

May I ask you a couple of questions?

That's usually my line.

But it sounds better coming from you.

What do you know about Walter Smith?

Oh, a fair amount, I'd say.
