Who is the Man in the Cab?

[Aaron G. Mosely]

Aaron shifted some of the papers aside, briefly glancing at a few of them. So far, they seemed unimportant, and a couple were just downright inappropriate, but he kept his focus. He was sure to find something eventually.

[Daniel Kadam]

One paper was sure to catch Aaron's eye, hidden amongst the rest. It was Mr. Beam's will, leaving everything upon his death.. to someone Aaron had never quite heard of - a Mr. Francis Ray.

[Aaron G. Mosely]

Aaron picked up the will and briefly skimmed it.

"Who's Francis Ray?" he wondered.

[Daniel Kadam]

It was underneath the will that a small crumbled up business card could be find, if one were to unfold it, they could see it containing the name and number of a certain detective..

[Aaron G. Mosely]

Aaron caught sight of a crumpled card, and he bent down to pick it up, setting the will aside for the moment. He unfolded it, and his mouth fell open.

It was his card.

"Damn." He was implicated in this, whether he liked it or not.

[Daniel Kadam]

Besides that there wasn't that much of interest besides various written customer complaints of a peeping tom in the locker room, equipment that seemed to just randomly fall apart, and food from the concession stand that would just vanish whenever they happen to take their eyes off of it.

[Aaron G. Mosely]

This was turning out to be a real mystery. A kid was attacked, a cab driver had vanished, the owner of a laser tag place had turned up dead and had left everything to Francis Ray, whoever that was, and Aaron's own business card was mixed up in it all. Odd, he didn't remember giving the card to Mr Beam and he was sure that the cops didn't. So where did he get it, then?

[Daniel Kadam]

"Mr. Mosely?" Lana called out from the hallway, "What's going on? Is my father alright?"

[Aaron G. Mosely]

Aaron let out a sudden squeak. He'd completely forgotten that this was Lana's father. How was he going to break the news.

"Uh, he's sort of...dead." he said.

Great job, Mosely. he thought. Great professional attitude there.

[Daniel Kadam]

Lana went quiet before speaking up, "What..what happened?"

[Aaron G. Mosely]

"He was attacked." Aaron replied. "It's pretty nasty-looking. I'm sorry."

[Daniel Kadam]

"Attacked.." Lana chocked, "By who?"

[Aaron G. Mosely]

"I don't know." Aaron picked up the will again. "But I have a suspicion. Do you know who Francis Ray is?"

[Daniel Kadam]

"Francis Ray..? Why, he's the custodian," she explained, seemingly refusing to enter the room herself, "Or at least he was. He quit last week, i'm not sure what happened. You don't think..?"

[Aaron G. Mosely]

"If he quit, then why did your dad leave him everything?" Aaron asked. "This is all starting to make sense."
