Oh no, Dear Reader. It seems that Albert (not his real name) has missed a very important date at Court and a Warrant has been issued for his arrest.
When the Bailiff and Police attended Albert's last known address, one I had originally provided, he had already hastily departed so, once again, I am instructed to locate his current whereabouts.
While I can, and often do, perform miracles, it isn't always easy - particular with one arm tied behind my back.
Intelligence, Dear Reader, is a sexy word in our industry. Just google "private investigator intelligence" and see how many investigative firms offer some kind of intelligence collection or analysis services as part of their core business.
In general, however, the word is all too likely to be used incorrectly, and most usually interchangeably, with the word information.
A long while ago, Dear Reader, (so far so, I can't find the post) I mentioned an idea I had. Actually, to be precise, it was an idea another PI had, but I improved on it and therefore ownership passes to me.
Just your typical, if not cliche-ridden, down-on-his-luck Private Eye trying to make good in the Bad City. All names changed to protect, well, me. A chance to vent or anonymously share stories of jobs or clients that are either amusing or have pissed me off.
