I called Todd to tell him I had a lead. His secretary was still chuckling about our brawl. I was glad I could amuse her.
Todd had asked me for details but I told him to stay calm for a bit and wait to hear from me. That was the first thing I surmised about detective work. Okay, the second thing. The first was that you can get a lot of info about someone from their garbage.
The second thing was never get a client's hopes up by giving them too much information. Or information they could act upon themselves...
