Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. I first saw her walking down the poorly lit hall with a tired shuffle. A good-looking girl, a bit tattered around the edges. The lone light bulb swayed and sputtered as she passed. Still, a girl with a heart. I liked what I saw. She paused at my door and lifted a navy gloved hand to ring the what?
2. It was 9 pm and the building was deserted. She looked nervous as she sat on the hard wooden chair. The blue neon light on the street flashed on and off, lending an eerie glow to her pale face.
I looked her squarely up and down. She blushed a little and crossed her legs. I only caught a glimpse of shapely ankle encased in an old laddered what?
3. Her name was Cyanna and she wanted me to take her case. Her boyfriend Perry - now there's a crying shame - had been kidnapped and there was a ransom. She couldn't pay it. Naturally. She wanted me to find him before the midnight deadline. She shakily told me he had been taken from his workplace - the Prussian Warehouse - just as he was finishing his what?
4. How could I refuse? She turned on the waterworks and tears always have a way of getting to me. Her sapphire dress was streaked and wet from all the crying. I asked her to show me where he had disappeared and we hurried down to the waterfront. Great. It was dark, raining and I was alone with a crying beauty looking for her boyfriend. I must have been crazy. I started looking for clues and suddenly noticed glass - lots of glass. Someone had quite obviously broken a what?
5. We had two hours to deadline. She looked terrified in the dull lazuline glow coming from the one light at the end of the pier. I patted her arm and pulled out my torch. Now it was becoming clearer. I cast the shallow pool of light across the ground. I didn't like what I saw. There in a spattered pattern across the nearby wall was what?
6. I needed clues and quickly if we were to save this poor sucker. I needed a sign that he had been taken into the building - anything. There it was on the steel blue door leading to the old office. It was smudged, but someone had touched this door recently. It was definitely a bloody what?
7. We inched forward into the office. There was a store behind it but the door was locked. I could feel her fingers digging into my arm. I liked having her near me and I liked the way she clung to me, but my arm was going to be bruised black and blue at this rate. The voices were a little louder. Arguing. Not really angry - just frustrated and what?
8. Through a crack in the rusty iron sheeting that called itself a wall, we could see figures. Two thugs and a guy out cold on the floor like a bag of old Blue Circle cement. The taller goon stood back and looked at what was obviously Perry. My pretty client squeezed two large tears from her beautiful peepers and buried her face in my coat. The goon was having trouble thinking through his next move and his little unshaven mate was getting edgy. Tall boy's jaw was working mindlessly all on its own as he chewed on an old stick of what?
9. Cyanna turned her baby blues to me and I motioned that we would take them by surprise and jump them. That's all the plan I had. We slowly edged open the rusty sheeting and crept into the storeroom. At my signal we leapt forward. She grabbed Perry and kissed him while I got to deal with the nasty pieces of work we were calling on. I grappled tall boy to the floor and was about to say "nighty night" when there was a scream. I settled his score for the moment and looked up. The short fool was lifting a large club of wood over his head and laughing down at me. Cyanna screamed again and jumped towards the little punk's face. She was aiming her fingernails towards the unsightly hair on his chin and took firm hold of his what?
10. With the two thugs taken care of and the crime scene wrapped up by the boys in blue, I took full advantage of Cyanna's thankful hugs and manfully accepted Perry's grateful handshake. I watched as they turned to walk away. They were getting married she told me. As soon as they could. She would be Mrs Winkle. What a waste. As guys go I guess he was OK, but she could have done much better. She could have had me. I shrugged deeper into my old overcoat and walked into the night. Let's face it. It wasn't fair. I was sorry for myself. I tried not to feel it. That thing on my shoulder. That what?
