Next time someone disappears, if you wouldn't mind consulting me before stomping about and destroying what little evidence there's likely to be, that would be delightful. Not, mind, that I expect the explanation for said disappearances is any more obscure to you than it is to me, unless you're a complete idiot, but if you're going to ask anyway it would behoove you to at least try not to ruin absolutely everything of even the remotest use.

What, to solve murders, thefts, and disappearances? Not exactly their area of expertise, nor typically under their jurisdiction, mercifully. Probably make a right mess of things.

[Phil laughs.] Right? Leave it to the Feds. [Of course, Phil used to be one, himself.]

So you're pretty much a freelance super-cop?

Freelance yes. Cop no. I prefer not to entangle myself with official sanction.

[Or annoying little details like warrants.]

I work with the Yard, not for them. And occasionally for private clients, if they're not completely atrocious.

[Boring. He means boring.]

[Huh. Phil never would have thought of a set-up like that.]

You make your living doing that? [He nods.] I can see why they'd want you.
