Skin Puppet
註釋In Skin Puppet, Reightman & Bailey Book Three, the whole gang from Capital Street is back and almost ready for business. It's just two weeks until The Reightman & Bailey Agency officially opens, but Melba Reightman and Toby Bailey have things pretty much under control. After the horrific events of the last six months, things starting to feel normal again.They're both happy to just hunker down and do what's needed to make their new business a success. So far, everything looks to be "all systems go and full speed ahead."An inconvenient lisp resulting from a busted lip slows things down a bit for Toby, and makes him sound embarrassing like a cartoon character. And there's the whole awkward situation with Jon Chiang. One minute Zhou Li's nephew is cold and distant, and the next minute...well, Toby could swear the guy might be interested in something more. It's all very confusing.Melba's got her hands full completing last minute paperwork so they can open for business. To complicate matters further, there's the huge stack of invitations Madame Zhou dropped off, all needing to be hand-addressed. Melba doesn't really think they need to throw a huge grand opening party, but there no use in arguing the point with the bossy owner of Green Dragon. To top things off, the sneaky octogenarian has strongly hinted Melba needs a new dress. With so much going on, the news about children missing from the area hasn't really registered on anyone's radar. The single flyer posted by a desperate mother looking for her missing daughter was disturbing, but it's really a matter for the local police, not the Reightman & Bailey Agency. Right? Wrong. Things are never that easy.
