Gumshoe

by TerryCat

It was a dark and stormy night. I was sitting in my dank tower, polishing my Glock magestaff while polishing off some rotgutt miruvor.

The name's Saurumon. My employers call me Sauromon the Wise, my friends call me Sauromon the drunk, and my loan sharks call me frequently. So there I was, considering how best to unload this bottle and get myself loaded, when I get a call from a case. And with this guy, case is the best word - head case. People call me a Private eye, but this guy was the ultimate public eye. Anyways, this Sauron calls me and tells me he needs a ring found. He'd tried all sorts of things already - going throug his nazgul flunkies, torture, everything he could think of to no end. He thinks that its time for something different. So he calls me. I act it up, tell him how its gonna cost him. Thing is, I got something he doesn't. I got a guy on the inside.
