Ms. von Karma,

[There are several false starts and scribbles.]

Are you alright, sir!?

Comments

No, I wasn't taken.

What did you discover in Prosecutor von Karma's room?

[strikeouts illegible]

[ham_fisted]

[Another inkblot. How can he make it seem like it didn't nearly give him a heart attack last night? He doesn't want to let down her expectations.]

Phew! That's a relief, right sir?

I discovered two notes on his bed. One was addressed to you, and the other was left there for your Manfred von Karma. Also, I could be wrong, but it looked like someone ransacked the room. That's what one of the notes said.

[iwhipthefool.livejournal.com]

Were they left to you by a Miss Taura?

And what of Prosecutor von Karma? Any clues to his whereabouts?

[ham_fisted]

Hey, now that you How did you know, sir!?

Well, after I read the note, I headed back out, so no. He didn't pass me in the hall, though.

[iwhipthefool.livejournal.com]

I'm a von Karma.

Then the evidence points to his release, does it?

[ham_fisted]

Seems that way...

[iwhipthefool.livejournal.com]

I see. Consider the investigation closed then.

[Nervous pen taps.]

[iwhipthefool.livejournal.com]

Is there something else you wish to say, Detective?

[ham_fisted]

? Nothing, sir. Really!

[More pen taps.]

Well, except to say I'm sorry.

[Oh God, if only he knew how much that affected her. Her handwriting doesn't change at all, but if he could see her face.]

Your apologies are unnecessary.

[ham_fisted]

[As far as Gumshoe's concerned, there's never been a better time to change the subject.]

Um, sir? You never told me why you didn't show...

[iwhipthefool.livejournal.com]

[WORST SUBJECT CHANGE EVER.]

And did you not think there was a reason for that?

[ham_fisted]

But that's why I'm

[Pen streak, followed by hugest inkblot ever.]

Oh.

[iwhipthefool.livejournal.com]

Dare do that again, Detective, and you'll be lucky to be able to dream of a paycheck.

[ham_fisted]

[Do what again? He was just...

*sigh*]

Yes, sir.

[iwhipthefool.livejournal.com]

Don't waste my time asking foolish questions. Have you been continuing the interviews?

[ham_fisted]

I've finished collecting information from one two people. I'm halfway there with my roommate.

[iwhipthefool.livejournal.com]

Turn your findings into me when you are finished.

[ninelivesonce]

I'm glad, too. It seemed the most logical explanation for your absence.

Taura

[iwhipthefool.livejournal.com]

You have my apologies, Miss Taura, for missing our appointment.

[ninelivesonce]

If there's anything I can do, let me know?

[iwhipthefool.livejournal.com]

His things. What did you find among them.
