Funny way of doing it. You don't mind if I join you? ( Not waiting for an answer: ) No? Good. Don't worry, I'm reading the new Christie. I'll be *silent as the grave*.

"No thanks, I have my own," he says, taking a silver cigarette case out of his breast pocket, carved all over with a dizzying, literally dazzling crisscross pattern that caught the light and threw it back at your eyes. In the center was a small, smooth diamond. Engraved within were the letters ℝ.ℝ.

There's no need for that. They're only rich people.

Perhaps. ( Trying to seem less interested. He pauses to take out a cigarette and light up. ) You keep turning up, 'Iris'. If I bring you with me, I'm solving two mysteries at once. What kind of detective would I be if I passed up on the opportunity?

Funny. I was just about to go to a very evil club.

"Good," Rathore said, taking it in his stride. "People tend to look a lot more fondly on a brown man asking questions when he's got a sick child with him. Can you ditch the crutch and lean on me?"

( Well, that's a tough one. On the one hand, there's now five or six things on his mental to-do list to do *yesterday*, a detective's work never being done and all. But on the *other hand* . . . Just how often do you get to talk to a girl like this? ) Nothing important.

"Yes, I think I will." Rathore folds up the paper and puts it under his arm. "There's something here. I can feel it on my neck." He strides toward the building. After a few steps, he stops, turns around to Crutchie. "Well? Aren't you coming?"

"Let's see . . ." He opens the paper with a flourish, flicking his wrists, the paper rustling in his hands. "Scoop Vance. What kind of a nickname is *Scoop* . . . ? Reporters for you, eh?"

He dives out of the way without looking, onto the busy sidewalk, right into a pile off trash bags left for collection. Rathore climbs out visibly ruffled & cringing at the stench. He had right of way! "WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING!" A tut, wiping himself off. "I *have* to get out of this city . . . "

For giving you the attention you wanted. As a matter of fact, I-- Hold on. I recognise you from somewhere, don't I?

"Call me Rathore. Lead the way, *Crutchie*!"

( A tired sigh. ) Is *everyone* going to make me do this . . . this *party trick* today? Alright. Where to begin? Your sensory obsession? Why not. You're right-handed, as your pen-callus tells us. But that's elementary. I notice you've mostly used your left hand to adjust your jacket, or

I'm not *trying* to impress you. I don't really have to, though you're easily pleased. To a *man of method*, you're an open book, printed in bold type!

"A rather big 'if'. Alright then," he says, tossing the boy the coin. "And there's more if the information's useful. Do you have a name, boy?"

You've told me everything I need to know, *pal*. Got a biting kink, by any chance?

There's a case coming. Rathore can feel it on the hairs on the back of his neck and hands. He takes another coin from his pocket, tossing it pointedly. "And, uh . . . D'you know who might know if it is?"

"Just about all of it. I have a knack for sticking my nose where it doesn't belong. If something's wrong, or unusual, chances are I'll find it. Or it'll find me . . ." He says, eyes the color of cold coffee in the smoky light raking over her coyly. He thinks he knows the type. Thinks. --

"Is that so?" He says, smiling. Flicking the ash off his cigarette. "Voilà qui tombe bien, madame. Les ennuis, c'est mon métier." His business card somehow finds itself in her hand. The detective - Rathore, he calls himself - winks.

Rathore flicks through the paper, skimming the story. "I'm not so sure myself. It's not their modus operandi." He looks up at the vendor, now a little interested. "What else are folks saying?"
