...
The next morning, at nine o'clock.
Luke yawned as he got out of his Mercedes and just as he entered the detective building, he saw three people coming towards him.
Raymond, Jenny, Little Black.
"Hey, what did I miss?"
Jenny sighed, "The question should be, what didn't you miss?"
Luke shrugged and got into the passenger seat of the Ford Explorer. "What's the assignment?"
Little Black started the car and said, "We found the woman who was tracking Courtney at the hotel."
"You found her?"
"No, Raymond and Jenny retrieved hotel surveillance footage, and they saw that woman in the parking lot footage, the camera captured her license plate number." Little Black said with a knowing look.
"Progress in the case first thing in the morning, that's good news." Luke was also invigorated. Solving this case would all but secure his promotion.
Little Black turned to look at Luke and laughed, "Hey, remember our deal?"
"Talk to me like that again, and you're asking to get punched."
