Tony stared at the screen with a sigh lingering somewhere in the back of his throat. There was no case, everyone seemed busy with something, and the rain was just making his mood worse. He contemplated opening an old file on his desktop, his cursor waving over the file. This really would open up some old wounds- possibly tear him up all over again. But, what harm could it really do? Just review some old information, and if it got bad enough, go for some pizza and a beer. He smiled at the last thought. That sounded like something his mom would say. At least, he thought it did.
Okay, he thought. That kinda settles it. Tony clicked the icon. Several different windows popped up, and he began scrolling through the information. He had finally found the window he was looking for- one he had programmed that if anything new came up, he could go instantly to the source. He was slightly taken aback- there were actually a few dozen new links. He skimmed through a few, mentally throwing out the crackpot links.
There were just some things that he almost had to laugh at. Link suffixes such as: info/newinfo/man&in&coat&seen&at&space&launch/, news/small_metal_object_found_unknown_technology_is_it_really_it?/, and his so-far favorite, article/new/another-limb-found/. Some things were just so easy to delete… Eurgh, uh, no, not that. Eliminate…? Sure, that works.
Tony continued to scroll down the list, trashing about half of it as he went along. About three-quarters of the way down, he had about lost all hope of finding a good link, until he found one that really caught his eye: .com/news/new/sightings/new_faces_new_places_new_adventures_in_america?. That seemed promising. Very promising. He was about to click the link when he heard a gruff, "Grab your gear."
Damn it, Tony thought. Once this case is finished. I'll do it then. I have to.

A/N: Well, I had this thought about a month ago. Wrote this entire prologue in about ten minutes total, so if it seems rushed sorry. I'm just kind of surprised more people haven't thought of this.
And, this will be updated irregularly, like any other new ideas and stories I have. Family issues basically dictating the fact that I can't get on the internet while they're in the living room. Need to have more family time. Ugh. Someone just shoot me now.
Well, hope you enjoyed this chapter, and please review!
