"I am............I am" the man said.
"Yes?" urged Ben.
"I am......Gorden Bennet!"
"Gorden Bennet?"
"Yes, Gorden Bennet"
"Gorden Bennet?"
"The very same"
"From that missing person case years back?" queried Ben.
"That's me" said Gorden Bennet proudly.
"But that was from a missing person case years back"
"Indeed it was"
"So?" asked Ben.
"So what?"
"So what do you want?"
"Attention"
"Oh." said Ben "Why?"
"Because I have been missing for years"
"I understand" said Ben understandingly.
"That's good" said Gorden Bennet.
"Why?" asked Ben.
"Because it saves me having to explain it to you"
"Ah, true"
"Hey, you know that woman that hired you to find me?"
"Yes, I know her" said Ben knowingly.
"Do you perchance know where she is?"
"No"
"Rats"
After a long pause Ben offered; "Do you know who Nelson Crapper is?"
At this Gorden Bennet furrowed his brow and holstered the gun he was holding.
"Nelson Crapper? Hmmmmmmm"
