Talk:The Disappearance of Rita Lloyd/@comment-31077845-20170214235756

Aw, Ray-man, ya gotta just give it a little more time. The lady'll come around eventually.

Then again now that I think about it in these stories they usually don't, as if our hero got hitched there wouldn't be any way to apply romantic tension in the next installment. They attractive lasses who hire him usually disappear into the night just as quickly as they appeared to leave the private eye to reminisce about the dame with the legs that just wouldn't quit (unless she was involved in the crime and thus wound up arrested or dead, which is another regular possibility in these cases), until the next broad with some sob story comes strollin' into his office and he's back hittin' the streets on another adventure with a stiff that ain't talkin' and a crime only a tough private eye who don't play by the rules can unravel.


 * Sigh* if only being a private detective was actually that exciting and didn't almost exclusively involve following fat guys around all day waiting for them to cheat on their wives or do something that proved their insurance/disability claim was fraudulent. After all, if an actual serious crime was committed that's what police and trained investigators are there for.
