“Why spend a dime on Jim,” I asked, maintaining my yeti voice in case John didn’t already know my identity, “if it’s the clarinet we care about? We just need to find it first.”

John shook his head violently. “We discussed this!” So, he thought I was someone else. “The map to its location was the wig on the mannequin at Blinkie’s Overalls, but someone rearranged her hair to obscure the coordinates. The only clue about who did it was the green plastic frog goggles found at the scene. We bribed the local constabulary to do our dirty work. Thirteen people have been arrested, including the guy who stole that $1,100 snakeskin jacket that you never wear but like to tell other people you have, but we’re no closer to our real goal. And for that reason, we are trying to infiltrate this secret society of possibly murderous, mega-wealthy hedonists.” He squinted at me. “I’m continually surprised by how poor your memory is.”
