One of the keys to Tony's success as an investigator is that he's developed a network of sources and informants; connections he can tap into for bits of information that just might turn out to be pivotal to a case.

He always used to be the go-to guy for scuttlebutt too; no more. It's disturbing – not so much because they no longer trust him, but because that was how he used to keep his game up.

If you can't even ferret out what's going on in your own backyard, how is anyone supposed to take you seriously in the field?
