I wrote it down and rose up from my seat.

"Thanks, pally," I said as I turned to leave. Just as I reached the door Rocco called out to me.

"Hey, wait a minute," he said, "I do remember one thing."

That was the next lesson I learned about being a detective: if someone wants to help they sometimes need their memory jogged. Attempting to leave in a frustrated huff seemed like a good way to kickstart their brain.

"I helped him load his things into the truck. He had a map of Switzerland and Zurich was circled on it."

    I hope the map thing doesn't seem too cliche, but I'd written myself into something that I couldn't figure a way out of!
