fandomhigh | Private Investigation: The Essentials [Monday, Period Four]

The workshop today was meeting in the Danger Shop, which was set up to look like a city alleyway. Standing at one end were Jake and a disheveled looking man who smelled vaguely of canned ham.

"Okay, kiddies!" Jake clapped his hands. "Last class, so we're gonna be working on something every good detective needs: a good snitch."

"'Scuse me, b'y, but I prefers the term 'information broker'," the disheveled man spoke up.

"Whatever," Jake rolled his eyes. "So here's what you know: last night at approximately 11:00pm, someone broke into the pet store and stole all the kittens." A cat burglar, yes. "Finn here happened to be standin' across the street and might've overheard a thing or two. S'your job to figure out how to gets him to tell you what that is. Good luck."

Dealing with snitches, Jake felt, wasn't really something that could be taught. It could only be learned by doing. So the little nippers were gonna get thrown to the sharks... well. Shark. Canned-meat-smelling shark.

Not that there's much of it, as usual.

Ben had learned interrogation techniques while working with GAG, and decided to go with the old-fashioned tactics rather than the faster Jedi version of making someone tell him everything.

Harper looked pretty upset. How could someone steal all the kittens? Someone might have to inform her that it was just an exercise for class.

Lindsay pondered how best to interrogate someone as she had no prior experience with that. One thing she was sure of? Kitten thieves needed to be brought to justice. Or something.

Bruce had two ideas for getting a snitch to talk. One of them involved the kinds of threats and violence that were probably unwelcome in a classroom.

That would be Plan B.

Momoko had been in enough classes about crime solving now to know that the kitten stealing story was fake.

So she was totally not checking the internet on her phone to make sure. Nope.

He loooooves to talk, really.

"You were across the street, huh?" Ben asked the man. "Did you see anyone come out of the shop?"

Finn just gave Ben a calculating look. "You needs a DVD, b'y?" he asked instead of replying to the question. "I gots all kinds."

Ben shrugged. "Have anything with cats?" he asked.

"Yeah, course I got cats," Finn scoffed. "what d'ye takes me for?" he dug a brown-paper-wrapped DVD sized packet from his jacket pocket. "twenty bucks."

Bruce approached Finn with a determined look on his face. "What did you see last night at the pet store?"

"Pet store?" Finn feigned ignorance. "Weren't in no pet store last night, b'y."

Bruce held up twenty dollars. "For your sake, I hope this jogs your memory."

Finn reached over to snatch the twenty dollar bill, giving Jake a pointed look. "Like I says, weren't in no pet store. But I were standing across from it, when two shady-lookin' types comes by."

Momoko bounced over, smiling. "Hi!" She tried not to lose her smile at the smell, now that she was closer. "I'm Momoko. What's your name?"

"Finn," whether that was a first name or a last name, he wasn't telling. "You needs a DVD?" he asked hopefully. "Only twenty bucks!"

"Hi, Fin... Twenty bucks?!" Momoko set her hands on her hips and gave him A Look. "You're kidding, right? That is totally a rip-off! I can get them for sooo much cheaper and you probably don't even have anything I even want. Especially something I want to spend that much on."

Sadly enough, Momoko was not intentionally talking in code here; she was serious.
