Jordan stifled a laugh as well.

"What's a bunghole?" Adrian asked his assistant softly. He didn't keep up with pop culture stuff, and had never heard anybody threaten someone's 'bunghole'.

"I'll explain later." Sharona whispered with annoyance.

"Let's just say that if dad goes through with his threat, that guy won't be able to sit for at least a year" the medical examiner teased.

While the three bantered, Max continued his interrogation.

"What is this? A porno?" the store owner joked as he nervously started to step back.

"Spill! or you'll be the star of an S& M flick!" The barkeep grabbed him by the shirt before he could go too far.

"Okay, Okay, I saw him yesterday."

"Where?"

"Here."

"Where does he live?"

"I don't know"

"Are you sure?" Max tightened his grip.

"He talked about getting a place near the Paseo, a shopping area down the street" Recently, more and more apartment buildings in Pasadena were being built near or on top of shopping centers.

"Did he ever mention if he ever visited or lived in Boston?" the sleuth asked

"Yeah."

"Do you know if he was in sales?"

"Yeah, he mentioned that he sold vacuum cleaners for a while."

Everyone looked at each other. They then left the store.

"We should talk to the local police to have him brought in for questioning." Adrian said.

"I don't think I can. They're gonna say that it's just a bunch of coincidences. " Leland said. "Besides that guy must have sold hundreds of vacuums. Why her?"

"She was a cop's wife" Sharona pointed out.

"She couldn't have been the only cop's wife who bought a vacuum from him." The captain argued.

"Call Woody again. See if he can get those records" Max told Jordan.

"Tell him to focus on records between 1970 and 1974" Adrian added.

She did so. With a name, Woody was able, with more ease, to get the records by the next day. Before, Jordan had not told the detective to look for a certain name, as it could have been an alias.

"As it turns out, your mom did buy a vacuum from James Hawet" He told her over the phone, as he sat at his desk, then added with exasperation. "In 1972!"

"His motive is to yank the chain of the system." The medical examiner explained. "Did you check his record?"

"Yeah, there's nothing." Woody doubted that James Hawet was a viable suspect. "Are you sure about this Monk guy?"

"Yes."
