Title: Inspector W
Post by Iceman on Oct 21^st, 2007, 6:08am

Inspector Victor Vance, nicknamed W, is investigating a case. The clues bring him to a typical bar he never ventured before, filled with people he never saw before. But he knew that Tom comes here often even though he didn't communicate with anybody yet. How then?

-The barman wears a name tag saying "hello, my name is Tom".

-The bar is called "Chez Tom" and Tom is the owner.

-In the washroom, there are scribbles on the stall wall saying "tom was here" with different dates on each scribble.

-There is a door with a sign "Tom Flanagan, Manager"

-Similar to a "Ladies" night, this bar holds a weekly promotion called "Tom" night.

-There is a video game in the corner which is flashing all the recent high scores, most of which were obtained by "Tom".

In a, VV would pick up a matchbox discarded by Tom, with the name of the bar on it. VV would conclude the owner of the bar is involved. VV would threaten the owner to check all customer's IDs if he doesn't reveal Tom's whereabouts.

In "Mission impossible", VV would remove his silicon mask and reveal he was Tom all the time.

In following the clues, W came across a large stack of bar coasters in the posession Tom.
or
W got ahold of the file a private investigator had compiled for Tom's wife (who was suspicious of his activities).

To pick, or not to pick, that is the question.
