"If you are getting something to eat, so am I. I am the one who is doing all the work while you take it easy. If you werent so cute, I would let you solve this murder on your own," I tell Toman as I follow him out the door.

Now why did I tell him he was cute? It would go to his head and he would be even more impossible than ever. The man already had an inflated ego. In fact, why would I even think it? I must be getting to used to having him around. He was beginning to get to me for sure.

"Why dont we have some Hoppers and discuss our next move? If we dont solve the mystery soon and bring the murderer to justice, the people are going to run us out of town. Plus, I still have to finish your case so you dont build anymore faulty homes again," I inform Toman and watch as his face reddened with anger.

"You had no case then, nor do you now!" Toman shouted at me.

"And you were mean then and you are a bigger meanie now. But to let you make up with me, I shall let you buy dinner", I smiled sweetly.
