Elementary, Dear Madison pt.1 (Deduction Challenge)

I recieved a call this morning from a young woman who seemed to be in hysterics.

Ring ring… ring ring… ring-

“Hello, Eli Johnson here.”

“Hello, Mr. Johnson, this is Madison Kenedi. I know you don’t usually do investigations, but my friend recommended you, and frankly, I’m desperate.”

“Alright ma’am, what’s the problem.”

“Well, you see, my husband has been… gone a lot lately and… I’d like to know if he’s been cheating on me.”

“Hmm, well, can I come over to talk to you? It might be better if you explained in person.”

“Certainly. You can come over now.”

“I’ll be there in a minute, then. May I have your address?”

She gave me it, and urged me to hurry.

“Goodbye, Mrs. Kenedi.”

“Goodbye.”

As I drove over, I couldn’t help but wonder why she would hire me, a man, to work for her. Logically, a woman would be the better choice, as she might know more on the subject than I. Mrs. Kenedi surely must have some sort of reason for her choice.

    surely she does have a reason…even if it’s solely word-of-mouth. :)
