I told Barbara I would be in touch with her at the orphanage in a day or two. I had only a couple of ways to track down this guy. One was to pay a visit to my old buddy Jim Harrigan, a cop that I went through the war with. I called to see if he was at the precinct and he was, so I left my office and hailed a taxi cab. My car was in the shop getting the brakes repaired after they had mysteriously and suddenly stopped working during my last case.

But that's another story...

I might do that. That was a nod to something that Watson said in one of the Sherlock Holmes stories he was narrating (can't remember which one). He mentioned the tale of the Giant Rat of Sumatra, but that he didn't think the world was ready for that one yet, or something to that effect. And Arthur Conan Doyle never wrote a story with that title. So that was just a little homage to that.

“That’s another story” ... then I hope you’ll tell it sometime soon, Christopher.🤞
