Unfortunately the ape wasn't laughing. As he pulled himself up by climbing up the door jamb, he pulled the biggest heater I had ever seen out of his hip pocket!

It must have been 12 inches long, with shiny new filaments. I'd bet that baby could keep the whole bedroom toasty warm on a snowy winter day.

"Whatcha lookin' at bud?" snarled the big ape. I'm a tropical species and need constant heat!

I offered him my pyjamas, seeing as I still had a decent suit on underneath. "I may need to keep warm" he said, "but I aint stooping that low."

So then I offered him my airplane ticket to the Tropics. He took it and left the room without a word, never to be seen again. (what was I thinking?)

So, I thought, is that the case solved? What to do now - that plane ticket didn't pay for itself.....

I decided to follow him to the airport and get a photo of him getting on the plane. Proof may be required to collect my money from the blonde.

I ran into the street wildly hailing a taxi! One screeched up to the curb and I jumped in -- and there was the blonde in the back seat with a glass of champagne in her hand!

"Well, hello there", she simpered, holding out another filled glass. Please take a seat and update me on the situation, pronto".

"Nix the drink, doll-face." I said. "We've got more important things to do!"

"You should never turn down a free drink, Private Investigator Sledgehammer," she said with a smile that could freeze the warts of a horned toad. "Especially from strangers who not only know your name, but also have more inside information on the case you're working than you could begin to imagine--and also know more that you realize about just how deep this particularly twisted rabbit hole goes."

"WTF! I thought we were in a taxi!" I shouted, looking wildly about for the exit.

She shoved a leperous distilment of a cocktail into my hand, and stared deep into my eyes. "So!" she said, "what's going on?"

Then my blood froze as I heard the taxi driver laugh. It was the ape -- in a badly fitting jacket and cap!
