I told you I'm a detective right? I hope you didn't think I meant I was a police officer-- I founded a private detective agency back home with an old friend of mine, so I figured I'd just open another branch here!

Ah, of course-- I'm still getting everything set up, so it might be a few weeks before I'm able to give you consistent work or a paycheck. But really, the kind of work we did is probably the closest thing to what you might be used to -- more than just solving cases, we help people! We've even saved the city a handful of times.
