“Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey. Don’t run off so quick.” She blocks his path in the center of the grocery aisle. He may not have known her, but she sure as hell knew him. For days, she had been tracking the man, fueled by the rumors and wives’ tales spread upon her blog. Nikki was weak and curious. “Listen. I’m harmless. Despite my appearance, I promise you, I am NOT gonna ask for drugs.”
She sinks her hands into her pockets and throws an anxious glance over her shoulder. “I need to ask you some questions.” Her brow quirks. “Privately.”

“MOOOOM!” There’s a gas leaking moving truck parked outside the home that sits on the lot beside the notorious Murder House.
“Kevin ate my Taco Bell!!”
“---Wh-What? Mom, no I didn’t--”
“He ate everything but the goddamn WRAPPER. You pig.” There’s a sibling banter going on while a mother with a cigarette hanging from her digits is trying to direct the movers into the Los Angeles home. With a defeated grunt, Nikki Valentine moves alongside the side of the house, deciding to scope out the rest of the property. It isn’t too late until muffled Nirvana catches her attention. She turns to the ominous, ivy wall of a house beside her’s and bears a grin.
She throws up a ‘rock-on’ sign and nods her head enthusiastically to the blonde boy sitting in his room with the window half-way open.
“Nirvana, man! CLASSIC!”

“ Hnnh?” Nikki Valentine was swiftly awoken from her drunken slumber upon her office desk. The door to her detective agency swings open and she can see through a blurred haze a person standing in the doorway. She clenches her jaw into a smile, pushes back her frazzled bangs, and inhales sharply, signaling her descent from her buzzed Pabst Blue Ribbon state. “Nnnh, can I help you?” Her vision was still adjusting she couldn’t quite tell if this was a past or new client.

She saw him, back rested against the brick of the diner on Clark Street. There had been rumors of men in black suits making elaborate, thieving schemes. One person on her webpage even vouched that he saw one of them steal an entire lock box of money from the hotel on 23rd and Cicero... Then again, that was a long time ago and the gossip had not been supported with factual evidence.
Nikki’s eyes remained pinned on the man, watching him carefully from under her sweatshirt hood. “Welp,” she mutters under her breath. There was no better time to investigate than now. Nikki crosses the parking lot, approaching the man with ulterior motive and a nice, big grin. “Hey, man. Mind if I bum a cig?”

“....Hi.” The under the influence detective approaches her target at the diner counter. An anonymous client online wanted some sort of justice to be put forth from this identity thief. So, she had located the man, a one Kellan Theodore Van Neil, and stood before him with red rimmed eyes. She simply didn’t know how to get close enough to handcuff him.
“So, um, what’s that you’re eating? It looks really good. I’m trying to order something off the menu, but I can’t decide,” she lies with a golden chuckle.
