Siena kept up her story.

"You see, Geoffrey can tip a bit over the edge when things don't just go his way. His line of work is rather not so popular in this country. He does not like to depend on me, and I don't like to take his crap when he is out of sorts."

"OK." Det. Rockhead was not sure he followed this at all, but asked her to continue.

"While Geoffrey was waiting for an interview at one of the fancy San Francisco boutique hotels, I was happened upon by someone who needed to leave his dog for a couple of days. Guess I looked the part and he said my hair matched his blond Pomeranian's."

"Don't like where this is going," mused Rockhead.

"Well, as my funds were on the low side, it did not seem cricket to refuse this offer," continued Siena.

"I followed the man into the bar and we made the deal over a drink. Cash on the barrelhead and a ticket to Austin. The furball was waiting at the airport."

"I really don't know why the rest got so complicated," she whined, green eyes getting a bit misty, as she suddenly realized that the dog she had gone through so much to keep safe was no where to be seen.
