Help Wanted (Max)
Frank Rake had just sat down with his morning paper and coffee. It was a daily ritual that helped clear his mind before he dove into the ever-growing stack of case files. He didn't know what it was in this town lately, but he suddenly had a deluge of business. Including a contract with the police that had just come in the other day.
Speaking of which... the paper in question was slammed down as a certain article was skimmed.
"Damn it," he muttered.
The information getting out was going to make it a hell of a lot more difficult to put his finger on the pulse of this one. He was already pretty sure that those crimes were connected, but that didn't mean that he wanted the killer realizing that. He also didn't want the killer knowing that he was working on this. This could get awfully dangerous.
Frank stood and walked over to the window. He'd put a 'Help Wanted' sign out a few days back, after he'd gotten one too many calls from nervous men looking for their intended, and moms looking for their daughters. He stared at the sign, considering it very carefully. Anyone who might respond to it now could be in danger. Should he take it down? On the other hand, those women who were currently missing were running out of time and there was still a killed on the loose who fashioned himself some sort of twisted Don Juan. He finally left the sign where it was and went looking for the bottle of gin that he kept behind the desk for days like this. He had a feeling that this case was going to have a lot more days like this before it was done.
