Three of the boys were gathered around the coffee machine when Agent Smith walked up.
“Hey, Agent, (they were all on a first name basis), what’s up?” asked Detective Reilly, smiling wryly.
“I’ve been doing a little research,” answered Smith. “Something’s off here. The coffee machine man comes in twice a week for a refill – that works out to 150 cups. But he always has to put in a new stack of cups. That’s 200 cups. There must be an explanation for those extra 50 cups.”
“Hmmm…” pondered Detective Adams. “Sounds like you’re on to something. Did you check this out with Wright?”
“Yep – last week. I don’t have any leads yet but he told me to stick to it.”
“Good idea,” echoed the three detectives before slowly heading back to their desks.
