No Clue Page #2

a scotch

and grapefruit juice.

Oh, what the hell?

Stop it!

Might just bump into you

another time

Yeah, you ain't even all that pretty.

I, I never said that I was...

Did you tell them I was pretty?

Can we just get down to business? Yeah,

um, but I have to be upfront about something.

Right, the money.

No, it's no the...

I can pay you 500 dollars a day.

A-a day? 500 per day?

I don't know what you're accustomed to.

It's not important.

Let's get down to business.

What can you tell me about your brother?

His name is Miles.

Miles Severeign.

He's a computer game developer.

He designs video games for a company

called Glasskey.

Okay. Um...alright

Glass...

Glasskey?

Are you alright?

Yeah, I guess I shoulda brought a notebook.

Like one of those little flip-up ones

they always...like I always use on my cases.

Oh, I'll just - I'll use your napkin.

You ready?

Yeah.

You sure?

Shoot.

Miles designs video games for

a company called Glasskey.

He's a pretty big deal, too.

He designed a video game last year

called Curse World.

It was the largest selling game.

It sold like 200 million

dollars or something

Are you getting all this?

Not a word.

The napkin's wet.

Thanks, this will help.

Listen, I couldn't tell you when

he went missing,

but the last time I spoke to him

was on the phone two days ago.

I just wanna know where he is.

And that he's okay.

Can you find him for me?

okay, well let's start...uh,

first things first

what's his address?

88 Falcoln Road.

North end of the city.

What?

Can I have my pen back?

Thanks.

Okay, um...alright, well I'll,uh,

head over there first thing tomorrow morning

Couldn't you go tonight?

Ah, man...

Every second may count.

Yeah, you're right.

Of course, um, well, should we take my car, or...

I couldn't go with you.

I couldn't take it.

My nerves are shot

I just need to lie down.

But, please, please go tonight

I'm so worried.

Well, as much as I hated to admit it,

maybe my pal Ernie was right.

Maybe I was a sucker for

a pretty face.

But her skin was as smooth

as a boiled egg.

Soft as a newborn kitten

that had been rubbed

with a sheet of fabric softener

and then tossed

into the dryer for 20 minutes

on a delicate cycle.

Her hair smelled like Lavender

and fried onions.

And her breath was warm.

Warm as a fat guy's armpit on a hot

summer...ope, here we go.

Hello?

Is anyone home?

Your patio door is open.

Miles?

Your sister's looking for you.

Holy...

Holy, that's blood...

Oh, jeez, that's blood.

Ah, not good, not good,

not good!

Not good, not good!

Not good, not good, not good

not good, not good!

Not good, not good,

not good!

Hello?

Leo, it's Kyra.

Not good, not good!

What's not good?

What do you see?

I'm, uh, I'm at your brother's place

and it looks like his place has been trashed.

I do-I don't want to upset you,

this doesn't necessarily mean anything, but

there was something on the floor...

does your brother eat a lot of ketchup, or...

spaghetti sauce?

Are you saying you see blood on the floor?

Or paint.

Maybe it was red paint.

Maybe he spilled paint and then

got mad and

kicked his furniture to pieces.

And went on a holiday to calm down.

Ah, that's probably it.

Mystery solved.

No, no, no.

Le-Leo, listen to me, Just calm down,

Do you see anything that could look like a clue

as to where he is?

O-okay, well I'm-I'm looking around...

and I don't see anything.

Mind you, I'm not there anymore.

You left?

Yes, I left!

Because it could all be evidence

for the police!

We talked about this.

We are not going to the police.

We don't have to go to them.

We just call them, and they go.

They have their own cars.

Don't do anything yet.

I need to see you.

I'm an emotional mess.

I need to talk to you at my motel.

Motel?

Come in.

The door's closed.

Open it.

Isn't it locked?

A smart man

could find out.

What kind of motel has doors

that don't lock?

I wouldn't feel safe sleeping here.

I mean I...I could if I had to.

I unlocked it in case I was in the bath

when you came.

You hurt your head?

No.

Have a seat.

Okay.

Whew, what a day, what a day.

Leo,

you could sit here on the bed.

No, this-this is good.

It's like being at the beach.

Without the bugs.

Oh, there's some bugs.

Sit on the bed

and let me look at your head.

Okay, look

if we're gonna do this

there's something you need to know

about me.

You have a magnetic ass?

Thank you.

Yours is none-too-shabby, either.

But first things first.

Oh

Oh, hey!

A comic book.

Oh, it's just...

It's wrapped in plastic.

Are you a collector or something?

Yeah, kind of.

It's a fairly valuable edition,

so would you mind just...

Alright, yeesh, I'll put it back.

Hey, you got a hockey card, too.

What a nerd.

Yeah, it's a rare rookie card.

Hey.

Who collects license plates?

What's this about?

That's a souvenir. It's off a car

from a movie.

Really? Cool.

Action movie, I'm guessing.

Can I look at that head of yours?

Oh, you have a bit of a bump.

Does this hurt?

No, I'm kidding. I'm fine.

But, look,

we do need to talk.

About the police?

I know.

You have to believe me,

when I tell you I have my reasons.

Involving the police could put my

brother in extreme peril.

Is there more to this than you're telling me?

Nothing you need to worry about.

Really? Because...uh, you just used the

phrase extreme peril.

If you do this for me,

I will be deeply, deeply grateful.

Okie-dokie then, I'll uh..

I'll uh...

See what I can...find.

Once the sun comes up.

Great, call me tomorrow

if you find anything.

Right.

Okay, then.

I'm off.

Way off, apparently.

I'll, uh...

I'll call you tomorrow.

Ya gotta take it with ya, Eddie

You just gotta!

I don't gotta do nothin'

gorgeous.

That's one of the things I like

about bein' me.

But Eddie...

If you don't take it with you

They're gonna know

the diamonds are fake.

Diamonds?

Listen, Luscious,

This stopped bein' about diamonds

when my partner took

a slug in the guts for bein' a stand up guy

So good ol' fashioned revenge, baby

And I'm gonna give your boss a snootful

You didn't give me no

choice, Eddie.

Love's love and all that

Well, but you shouldn't try to pin a

cat in a corner.

That's funny.

I always heard that about rats.

Geez,

have a good sleep.

GLASSKEY GAMES:

I really don't want to...

Okay, nobody wants to.

Because it's called a paycheck.

Okay, because it's called a job...

Dipwad, okay, like look into it

You know what, I gotta go.

Okay?

Okay.

Text me later.

Can you believe that guy?

What're you gonna do?

Can I help you?

Yes, I'm uh...

I'm here to see the big man.

Who?

the big man, the big guy,

the uh, big boss man.

El capitn.

Captain Cahoona.

The big cheese...

wheel.

Mr Horn?

Yes, Mr Horn

The old Hornsy.

How is the old Hornswaggle doin'

these days?

The old horndog, Mr Horn.

Is he in?

- No.

Ah, well.

Seeya, Jake.

Seeya, Jake.

Those are short shorts

for a big man.
