Harlan Guthrie

You said that Roland Cummings was the previous tenant.

You said he hurriedly needed to leave the city.

Yes, technically the lease we took was Cummings, but leaving the city hurriedly was only something I heard secondhand.

In this game, it's often that a PI closes down.

It's a dangerous line of work.

Cummings was the name on the lease that we obtained, but we rented the office from an investigative team named... Stone... Elijah Strong.

Strong.

But he retired early.

And you took some cases...

Yes, he mentioned him and his partner were working on a few missing persons cases.

Did his partner retire also?

No, he passed away during the case, rather horrifically, I gather.

In any case, there were a few unsolved ones that he handed off to us, and we successfully dealt with them.

So much so that we stuck with it.

Missing persons cases, that is.

The taxi's pulling up.

And so the McFarland case... Yes, it landed on our laps.

We tended to go about them differently than the police, and in any case, a vagrant noticed her bike outside the house, and we had our lead.

Where did the lead take you?

58 Pelican Lane.
