From The Impossible Clue : Mr. Delgado smiled at me. A big, wide, patronizing smile.I looked him up and down, from his fancy haircut to his handmade shoes. He was the kind of man who was used to getting his own way. Part of me wanted to turn him down flat, just to see the look on his face. But I didn't. I had a better idea."Fine," I said. "I'll help you look for Dr. Learner."I'd look for his missing scientist, and I'd find him too. No one uses me as a publicity stunt.
