No Clue

SECOND FLOOR:

EMPIRE PRIVATE INVESTIGATIONS

Jiminy Cripes...I mean...

holy, I mean...hello!

I'm sorry, I should have knocked

No, no, that's fine. That's goo...

Ach!

Come in, come in...

I mean you're in already...ah...

Have a seat

Oh, thank you

My name is Kyra.

And I, um...

I was..um...

Are you, are you okay?

Do you need a glass of water or something?

Yes, that would be nice.

I don't have any water...I just realized

Do you want...uh, do you want some...uh...

Gum?

No, that's alright

No, I just need a moment to gather myself

I'm not thinking very clearly,

I'm so...

I'm so frightened

Frightened? Why?

My brother is missing.

And I'm afraid...

Well, I'm afraid he might be...

I can't even say the word.

Dead?

Oh!

Oh, geez, sorry

I shouldn't have blurted that out

I wasn't thinking.

Do you want some...

I should get a little fridge in here or something

No, that's okay

It's not your fault

Just take your time

Deep breaths

Okay, I'm alright

Honestly, I'm okay now

Okay, good.

So your brother's dead?

Oh, I'm sorry. He's not dead

I mean, why you think he's dead...

He's just missing.

Things go missing, that's not so bad.

Your keys will go, or whate...

I can't find one of my gloves

That doesn't mean it's gone forever and ever

Vanished into the ether

And never to be seen by human eyes again

Oh, I'm a jerk

No, you're right

I shouldn't assume the worst

That's right. In fact, you should never assume

because you...

It's just that I...I called him on the phone

the other night and he was very agitated

and he wouldn't tell me why

Y'know we talk on the phone all the time

we're really, really close

But this time I asked him what was wrong

And he just kept saying

Don't worry

Well, there you go

Well, then I called him the next morning and

he answered the phone, but he didn't say anything

It was just this heavy breathing on the phone

And then

someone was calling his name in the background

and he just - all of a sudden - he whispered...

I love you, sis

And hung up.

Holy crap, that gave me goose bumps

Did you tell this to the police?

With the heavy-breathing and everything

Well...there might come a point

where I have to go to the police

and if it comes to that I will, but...

I just want to try to get to the bottom of this

without involving authorities

Oh, that, that's never good

That's not a good idea...

It's like plumbing

You think, "Oh, I could do this myself"

And then the next thing you know,

there's water up to your neck,

And there's poop floating by...

Sorry. Feces.

That's why I came to you

I know I need to get some help.

but from someone who could be...

a bit more discrete about things.

Will you help me?

Please?

Yeah, Okay, I'll...I'll do what I can.

But if it gets out of hand and into anything

weird or dangerous Then it's right to the cops

Because, uh, I can only do so much.

Okay, I understand.

So, how do we do this?

Do I pay you now, or...

Uh..let's just...

you know what, I...

I have some other things that I have to

take care of, at the moment, so...

Can we meet tonight?

Tonight? Ouch, laundry night.

Please? I only get the machine

in my building on Wednesdays

Please, please this can't wait

It's my brother.

Ya know, you're...you're right

okay, uh...

You know what, there's a pub down on

Abbot Street called the twisted Rhino

Twisted Rhino.

No, not twisted. Tall. The Tall rhino.

On Abbot Street?

No, I mean yes to Abbot, no to Rhi...

It's not Rhino, what is it?

Hip...Hippo. It's the Tall Hippo.

It's the tall or twisted some-kind-of-animal.

It's the only pub down there with an animal in its name.
