Suds and Sam

When I first meet Samantha Sutcliff, a former FBI analyst, I can't decide if she's brilliant or clueless. Regardless, after one night, I want more... A private eye in Manhattan? You've got to be kidding me. To keep her five-year-plan at bay, I recommended Sam to my boss at Patten Securities. Don't get me wrong. I respect she's got plenty of attitude. I especially hold her Uncle Vinny, a mob boss, in high esteem. Both he and her police-chief father explain how I should book my own funeral if I mess with her. Not much for authority, I thank them for their concern. However, she's mine and I plan on keeping her. When she goes missing, at first I figure she's miffed. Yeah, I may not always take her career as seriously as she'd like. But hell, didn't I help her solve the missing-cat-caper? That should count for something, right? When she doesn't answer my texts, I check with her family and my stupid heart stops. What the hell? She's gone missing.
