“Oi gumshoe. Up and attem-!”
The dazed detective shook himself awake, startling from the shaking of his desk, and clearly needing a second to gather himself, blinking awake as he took in the blonde across from him. Something must have clicked in the wrong direction however, as after wiping drool from his cheek, he was quick to lean over the piles of books with a smile Mia assumed he thought was charming.
“Well hello young lady. What can I help you with? Missing person? Murder suspects? A broken he-“
“Barking up the wrong tree there Dick.” She chimed, a bit of smugness at finally being able to call someone that and not getting in even the mildest trouble for it. She pulled out the job notice from Fairytail’s board and offered it across. “You’ve hired my services. So, I should be asking you those same questions. What is it? Need some info beaten out of someone? Get ‘em to talk? Need someone to play bad co-“
“Cleaning.”
“… Eh?”
He gestured about his own office. “I need someone to clean this mess up so I can focus on the case. A true genius like myself can’t take a break from such a tough job, nor should I! Lives are at stake!”
Mia narrowed her gaze… which slowly drifted over to the corkboard off to her side, taking a deep, annoyed breath as she spotted a lot of them seemed to be pictures of similar, if not the exact same dog, seen in different areas. This guy was tracking down a missing pet…
“… WELP. I’m here I guess!!”
With more than a little annoyance Mia snatched up the piles of books she couldn’t even fathom being related to the case of the missing dog, and got to work cleaning the place, just getting her head down, and focusing on the job till she had the pleasure of going home.
