And the clue? There was a tiny red dot on a cross street, but I couldn't read the tiny print.

With fumbling fingers I removed my trusty magnifying glass from my jacket pocket. Focusing on the tiny print I read with horror the name that became clear.

I was looking at my OWN name - printed in very tiny letters. It was a map to my office!

Looking more carefully now, I spotted a few more "x's" on the map, which all coincided with places I regularly haunt. Suddenly, this case was very interesting.

I began to feel very special. And very wary!

But where to go now, what to do, and how to do it. I wondered if she would point the way, or if she was expecting me to do all the donkey work ?

Her upturned nose reminded me of Ginger Lynn, the adult star who jokingly proclaimed that her three favorite animals were (1) a Jaguar in the garage, (2) a Tiger in bed, and (3) a Jackass to pay all the bills. Obviously, the bimbo was relegating me to the third category- her personal donkey slave.

I started to have a sense of 'deja vu', surely nothing could be this simple?
Looking closer, with the glass, I noticed something that glimmered when a ray of sunshine reflected off the paper, at just the right angle. |

It was a pyramid, watermarked into the paper! If the Illuminati were the source of this symbology, then only Kaspar Gutman (the Fat man in the white suit) could decode it, but alas, he was dead ...

There was only one thing I could do.
Problem was, the Dame, I had to convince her. |

I glanced over at my employer as I continued to study the photo. She was busy making repairs to her face, and hadn't noticed my discovery.

Problem was, should I tell, or hope that she wouldn't notice and we could wrap this all up without any further expensive time wasting.
"Oh, by the way," she said, talking down to me as though I were something she had just picked up out of the gutter, "you will have, by now, noticed the watermark - sneaky, eh?" |

Damn, that dame was as sharp as a switchblade, and just as deadly! I'd better give up trying to pull the wool over her eyes and finish this job!

Unlike lightning, Deja Vu can strike more than once, which explains the old saying, "deja vu all over again."
"We have to rush back to my office ASAP- I vaguely remember a strange shape in one of the compromising photos, and we need to get a BLOWUP." |

"A blowup!" she screamed. "Wasn't the exploding plane enough for you?"
