You grab your waistcoat and button up your shirt collar. You stuff your pipe into one of your pockets, you'll need to get some tobacco for it today. Reaching over to the shelf next to the coathanger, you grab your snubnoed .38 and put it in your other pocket. You don't expect you'll need to use, but on the streets of Los Diablos it always pays to be safe. With that done, you head out of the office.
The building you office in is a dingy place, not entirely run-down, but certainly somewhere that's seen better days. The lights in the hallway outside are dim, probably due to the landlord being cheap and not wanting to change them. There's a man smoking a cigarette at the other end of the hallway, his hat shoved down right over his head so you can't even see his eyes. You lock up and take the stairs instead of the elevator, two at a time now that you have a case to drive you on. Though you don't have much to go on you're already moving like a bloodhound with a scent.
Outside, the skies are cloudy, overcast like so many days in the city. It's late afternoon, and soon the nightlife of the city will be in full swing. All the glitzy glamour girls, tramps, whores, members of society, and the low-down criminals, all out there playing the games that keep the city spinning. You'll probably have time enough for one trip today, unless you want to stay out late, something ill-advised for those who aren't experienced in the dangers of the city streets.
In any case, you hail a taxi, and give him a dollar to take you where you need to go.

<span class="mu-s">Where will you start your investigation?</span>
>The lawyer's practice. It's where he was last seen, so you'll start there, working backwards from the very beginning.
>The bars and clubs. There's always people in the know, you just have to find them. Someone out there just might know more about the case than Miss Brean.
>The newspaper. You need information more than anything else. What was Mr. Farrow's career like? What case was he working on before he disappeared? Why, indeed, would he even disappear like that?
>Write in?
