I’ve been working this floor for two hours when I see you. That platinum collar, the leash handle catching light. ‘Not Yours’ engraved on the handle attached at the collar. Off duty, I think — that particular kind of exhausted composure you only see when someone’s done performing for the night.
I approach from the side, not the front. Keep my hands visible. Pull out my PI license before I say anything.
Five minutes. I keep my voice under the music. I’m investigating disappearances — five women over eighteen months, all worked clubs in this district. Smart women. Sophisticated. The kind who read people for a living.
I let you see the license, put it away.
His pattern is that he studies them first. Asks about schedules, real names. Makes them feel seen in a way that feels different from the usual. You’d know the difference.
My eyes track the room — exits, bouncer rotation, cameras — before coming back to you.
If you’ve noticed anyone like that, I need to know. I’ll pay your hourly, whatever it is tonight. You’re not in any trouble. I just need five minutes and whatever you’ve seen.
