Quid Pro Quo
“The Haliburton Building was empty, and what used to be the Masons’ Hall was just a giant black hole. No one was around—I guess they’d all quit for the day—so I started kicking through the ashes, looking for, I don’t know, something suspicious, I guess. Hey, you know me! Cyril MacIntyre: Arson Investigator.
What a joke. Arson is, like, the hardest crime there is to solve, even for the professionals. (Think about it. The evidence literally goes up in smoke.) Did I really believe I was going to br...eak this case? It was like looking for a needle in a humungous barbecue pit.
I was all ready to go anyway when this guy in a hard hat came out of the Haliburton Building and started screaming at me. “Hey, you! Kid! What are you doing here? Can’t you read? No trespassing! Now, git! Git out of here before I throw you out.”
The way he was coming at me, I was pretty sure he meant it. I was just making plans to dive back through the crack in the fence when another voice started drowning the guy out.MoreLess
