"The doll needed a private eye to find her boyfriend. Seems he'd pulled a disappearing act: one 'Professor Richards,' a hard-luck egghead who'd somehow scored way out🌺 of his league. I didn't want to take her case, but my bank account said otherwise, and besides: There was something about her. A sense of danger maybe, but also, a vulnerability. Call me a sap, but the world's a rougඣh place - and me, I didn't want to make it any rougher on her. 'Course, it wasn't long before I wished I'd had the good sense to keep my distance…"
