Amateur Investigator
by Robert Burton Robinson

“I’m out of here,” said Sissy.
Paul looked up from his computer. “Where are you going dressed like that?”
She placed her hands on her hips and cocked her head to the side. “Where do you think? It’s Wednesday. Girl’s night out.”
“Oh, yeah.” His eyes went back to the computer. “Have fun.”
“What are you doing—playing a game?”
“No. I’m doing research.”
“Still think you’re gonna be a private eye?”
“I’m already a private investigator.” He pointed to the framed certificate on the wall.
“Is that thing even real?”
“Of course it’s real.”
“You paid a hundred bucks to some bogus online school. Don’t you have to be licensed by the state? Who’s gonna hire an amateur investigator?”
“I’m going to get the proper licensing.”
“Whatever. Just don’t quit your day job.”
Paul sneered at her.
“And don’t wait up.”
