oOoOo
Dick passes his head shyly by the door and joins Veronica who invites him to sit. Many minutes of silence pass during while Veronica studies the case to not look at Dick, this last playing with his fingers.
Veronica: if Logan wants to talk to me he can come here, no need …
Dick: it's not Logan who sends me, he doesn't even know I'm here and I don't want him to know. I come as a client and I want to be treated as it, professional secret and everything. Do you accept?
Veronica makes him sign to pursue and takes a paper and a bic of the drawer.
Dick: I went to take a drink in a bar the other night and I met a girl. I proposed her a drink, we talked for a while and she came with me in my suite, hum, I pass the rest. When I woke up, she wasn't here anymore and my big bag neither. She stole it and I want you to find it, I have everything inside.
Veronica: ok, what does she looks like?
Dick: she's hot, and at bed …
Veronica, interrupting him: I understood, I want a physic description, simple and precise.
Dick describes this girls as tall, blond with blue eyes and big boobs "of course – Veronica tells herself", white skin "very white actually – tells the young men", small nose.

Veronica tells Dick that she will let him know when she'll find something that can lead her to something concrete and he goes.
oOoOo
Veronica begins her researches by entering the name Amelia in a special site of research but the result is very large due to the big number of persons called Amelia. Then she enters the name of Edward, less current in Neptune.
oOoOo
Veronica comes back home late, just in time to dinnertime, in the menu beefsteak and mashed potatoes that her dad has cooked. As their habit, they discuss of their cases – Veronica decides not to talk to him of Dick's one, at least for now – and they look at the TV news where Vinnie Van Lowe appears in the biggest part.
Finally alone in her bedroom, she finishes quickly her homework without really focusing on it and opens Dick's file, thinking of the results of her researches. And what if this case was more than a simple stole?
