If on some morning around two o’clock, you found yourself trapped in the doggie door of a house, not your own, you might re-evaluate a few decisions.
Nigel, finding himself in such a spot, did. And briskly, thanks to the chihuahua imperiling his nose and the sirens signaling an intervention. About those decisions . . .
Moving to his wife’s hometown of New Antigua, Texas?
Sounded good at the time. Now, not so much. Lacks anonymity, especially for an Englishman.
Ignoring the wife’s to-do list?
So far, so good. Fingers crossed. Jailtime would render the question temporarily moot.
Stealing wife’s client to secretly become a dog detective?
Upside: Case solved, twice.
Downside: Low pay, grave complications.
Lessons learned:
1) Keeping secrets has drawbacks, especially when the wife’s a former marine and professional investigator.
2) Freelancing sucks. Stick to missing dogs. Dead humans are way too complex.
