So I stayed with Ash and Brock for a while. Occasionally slipping in a question or two. or three. Okay the most questions I have asked in a row is ten. But I'm still keeping my secret identity a secret.

According to them Officer Jenny invited Misty to a concert with her.

"She didn't invite Brock and me," says Ash Ketchum.

"SHE DIDN'T INVITE ME!" wailed Brock.

I think I shall keep my distance from that sentimental youngster.

"What happened fter that?" I asked. It was hard to keep myself from snapping.

"Misty didn't come back. When we asked around, no Officer Jennys were reported to have a day off work the next day when Misty went missing. We didn't even know which Jenny it was."

"Which town were you in?"

"Goldenrod. But we don't know which Jenny it was because there was an Officer Jenny conference held. For all the Jennys in Johto."

The case was looking harder and harder.

Time to call for another Jenny conference.

***************************************

I questioned every Jenny that came where they were on the night of Misty's disappearance.

THey were all at the party that Misty was meant to attend.

"Did any of you see any Officer Jenny that wasn't there?" My mistake.

"I don't think my second cousin of my aunt's niece was there. SHe's the officer Jenny from Cherrygrove."

"No she was talking to me. I didn't see my cousin's second aunt's nephew's sister there."

"No, she was talking to my mother's aunt's daughter's daughter twice removed."

I nearly told them all to shut up.

But I didn't. I left them there arguing.

I asked them if I could swing by their city and drop in at their house for more questions.

THey agreed.

I'll search their houses and try and find Misty.

New Bark Town

Her house was a little on the small side. In fact, she lived in a caravan. No secret passages there. I had a cup of coffee there and petted her growlithe once or twice.

No secrets were hidden here that's for sure. To open. Too innocent.

Note: Investigate this officer jenny later. SHe has made a point of looking too unsuspicious.
