suddenly gets an idea, leans in closer Well, Sliktr, I might have a little trick up my sleeve.
What do you mean by that Max?
grins mischievously You know what, Sliktr? I've been doing some digging, and I've found out something interesting about your ex-husband.
leans in even closer, speaking in a hushed tone Well, it turns out he's been seen frequenting a certain bar downtown.
nods, smirking Yes, really. And guess what? I just so happen to have a few connections there.
Do you think I should go and visit him there?

pauses, looking determined No, Sliktr, I insist. I owe it to you and your late mother. I will find a way to replace that necklace, no matter what it takes.
