No Clue Page #5

- Oh, really?

I'm supposed to believe this

is some kind of coincidence?

- No, I think there's a lot

more to it than that.

So why don't you fill me in?

- I don't know what you're talking about.

Let's bypass the whole

"little miss innocent" routine, and get

right to the part where you tell me what

you're doing with a private eye.

Okay, c'mon let's go, my turn

Oookay.

Why do you think he's a

private eye?

He's just a guy I know.

I've known this guy for a while.

Is that okay with you?

Kyra?

Look, first tell me what's with the private eye.

And why he's sniffin' around Glasskey.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Seriously.

Five seconds to talk.

One...

What the hell?

Two...

Oh, what the hell?

She's, she's like...

She's like an, uh, assassin.

or something. She's...

Okay, alright.

Okay, you can, you can handle this.

You're on a date with a killer.

No problem.

You can do this.

Just stay calm.

Just stay cool.

Just...

Just stay relaxed.

This is nothing you can't handle.

Smooth.

Just play it straight.

You're dead.

You can get through this...yeah.

She doesn't know you

saw anything.

Just play it cool.

And have a mint.

Hey, here I am.

Miss me?

Everything go okay in the ol' ladies room,

where you were this whole while?

Yes, but I'm so sorry.

Leo, I have to go.

I'm suddenly not feeling well.

Hey, no worries. I'm

not feeling so great myself.

Got a...touch of the trots.

Probably best to stick close

to home tonight.

- Thanks for understanding.

- Ain't no thing.

Well, no need to walk me

to my car.

Didn't plan on it.

Well, okay then.

Talk to you tomorrow.

- You do that.

I mean,,,uh, it was insane.

She did like seven crazy

Kung Fu moves

And some UFC stuff and some kind

of crouching monkey/drunken panda thing

She's like a trained killer.

I, I gotta go to the cops.

So, let me get this straight.

Before, when you didn't know

she could kill you,

you were going to keep your promise to her.

And now that you know she can kill you,

you're going to break your promise to her?

How does that make any sense?

Sorry, I wasn't listening.

Look, if you double cross her she's going

to chop off your head and stuff it in your mouth.

Oh, you're right.

What am I gonna do?

Just, just keep doing the investigation thing

Just keep her happy.

Whatever it takes to not make her

kill you...or me.

You've probably talked about me.

I, I'm in way over my head here.

I, I don't know what I'm gonna...

- Get a hold of yourself!

- You get a hold of myself!

- Hello?

- Leo?

- Leo!

- No, I'm here.

Where are you?

Why?

I'm just curious.

I'm, uh...I'm around. I'm a...

out and about. I'm..

well, I'm...couldn't even tell you where

I am really.

I'm all over the city investigating...

I'd have to look at a street sign or something.

Why, where are you?

Who have you been talking to?

Oh...yeah, now's not a good time.

I can't, I can't really get into it

I'm actually in the middle of an

interrogation right now.

And you're gonna talk, too!

Ow! What the hell you doin'?

That's just the tip of the iceberg, you

greasy sack of pus!

Sorry.

See, see I'm workin' hard for ya.

Anyway, I should probably get going...

- Leo.

Uh-oh, uh-oh, he's gettin' away!

Hey, get back here!

- Leo!

Oh, you shot my leg!

I, I, I gotta go!

Leo!

Fine!

Sorry, dude...heh.

Gotta keep it authentic.

No worries.

Whatever you do, you gotta

keep her happy, right?

Get her some leads, ya know.

Uh, do you have any clues?

Well, uh...I dunno. Everything

keeps coming back to this guy Horn.

Horn was business partners

with the missing Miles guy.

Horn has a big thug with a gun

working for him.

Oh, and I found, I found this

list in Horn's office.

Wha-what is this?

Clues.

Oh, it's nice that they put

all these clues

in a convenient list form.

What are you talking about?

Well, they might be clues.

I just grabbed this off his desk.

I thought they sounded like video games, maybe.

Arrowpoint, Blaster.

Well, if they are, I've

never heard of them.

You should talk to a geek, ya know,

someone who's super into this stuff.

- Isn't that what I'm doing?

- No, I mean a super-uber-geek, ya know.

I'm just really a part time geek

A weekender, really.

Oh, well for what it's worth

I think you have what it takes

to go full-on geek.

- Thanks.

Ya know, I guess if you work at it.

It's just like anything. Ya gotta work at it.

Hey, I do know a geek.

Nope, these aren't any games

that I know of.

Could Glasskey be making these?

I doubt it. It's a pretty long

list and they've only got one designer.

Miles. But he's some kind of

design genius, isn't he?

That's what they say.

- You don't sound convinced.

- Well, no, he's a genius, sure. Brilliant.

But even Miles Severign couldn't be

designing this many games at once.

- Especially since he's missing.

- Yeah. Yeah, what's going on with that?

Well, I...I can't really discuss the

details of the case.

But let's just say I'm all over it.

Nothing's gettin' past me.

- Did ya dig into Nelson?

- Who?

Nelson. The boss here, remember?

Oh, yeah. Nelson.

Nelson, of course. I, I remember.

I just, I give all my suspects

code names., so...

He's Crimson.

- Oh, that's cool.

- Isn't it?

- Yeah.

Oh, here comes Crimson now.

Well, hello. I see you're back again.

Or maybe you never left.

Ha-ha, that'd be funny if I never left.

left.

If I spent the night here

Going through stuff while everybody was at home.

Which you couldn't prove I did.

Well, there's no need for that, of course.

We're happy to cooperate in any way we can.

We all want Miles to be found.

But this is a place of business, so...

Now if you'll excuse me,

I'm just headed home.

Home?

It's nice to be the boss.

Heading home at 3:00.

Put your feet up.

Maybe a little afternoon delight

with the missus.

That was...

inappropriate.

- My wife is dead.

- It's even more inappropriate.

If there's nothing else...

Well, act, actually there is,

there is something else

if you don't mind. I'm in over my

head here and you said you'd be happy to help.

Mind if I pick your mind for a second 'cuz

you know more about business than I do.

Of course.

Anything I can do.

Well, if Miles doesn't show,

God forbid,

What would happen to his

new company, Glasskey?

Well, that depends on a lot of things.

Yeah, but broad strokes, I mean.

It would be bad for them, of course.

Uh, they have investors.

So it would be bad for the investors.

I suppose it would.

I can only imagine the share

price would drop dramatically

and they'd all lose a

bundle on the sale.

So anybody with a vested interest

in Glasskey

would want Miles to succeed.

So, who wouldn't?

Present company excluded.

Maybe this isn't about business.

There's more to life than money.

That's true. Though it's always

people with a lot of money who say that.

Thanks, Danny.

I'll be in touch.

Yeah, no problem.

Hey, uh, how'd it go with Crimson?

Good.

He was actually kinda helpful.
