A/N: Hello there! I've had this idea cooking up for a while but have finally decided to turn it into a mini fic! It feels so awesome to write about a show that I dearly miss as I'm sure we all do :) Please read, review and enjoy - I'd really appreciate it! Thanks xx (Also, I'll be updating this fic super quickly so stay tuned!)
Prologue
At this very moment, Emerson Cod, thirty eight years, four months, nine weeks, and twenty-two days old, received the most peculiar case.
Standing in front of him, shaking from the weight of her own tears was a woman who had offered him $12, 000 with a story that intrigued him nearly as much as the money.
The facts where these: last night, the young lady was sitting, as she so put, innocently in her living room when she heard an "ominous" knock on her door. Before she could even get up to check who it was, the door was kicked off of its hinges and she had suddenly been submerged into the darkness a paper bag over her head had caused. She then went off to mention how no harm to her was caused as she sat in the blackness waiting for her death to come. Oh no. Instead, a single question was asked by her captor, one that left even Mr. Emerson Cod in a state of shock that made him wish he had merely accepted the money and rejected in ever hearing the details that would follow.
And so we find Emerson Cod, renowned private investigator, rejecting her (and her large sum of money), and hiding the news deep within his mind, refusing to, in any way, shape or form, tell The Pie Maker he was dear friends with that he was the man the woman was after, or that his life was in great danger. He would, evidently, take this to his grave until further notice. Closing the door behind him, he made his way to The Pie Hole.
