raises an eyebrow "My pleasure, darling. Now, let's track down the culprit. Lead the way, shall we?"
takes out a small notebook and pen "I have a few contacts who owe me a favor. Let's start by contacting the boutique manager.
quickly dials the boutique manager's number "Good day, darling! It's Vivienne Grace here.

Right, so how do we do it?
grabs Bobornit's arm and pulls him towards the alley "We need to gather information. First, we need to talk to the homeless guy.
