Episode 10: The unopenable jar of pickled onions.
Detective Dr Dave had finished his drink and went up to his room to do a bit of thinking on the case thus far. As he got there, he noticed something in front of his door.
"What is this then?" asked Detective Dr Dave out loud, it was in fact a jar labeled "unopenable jar of pickled onions". This was trouble, not for the fact that it was an unopenable jar of pickled onions, but that somebody knew where he was staying. He had kept this a secret, even from the police. Detective Dr Dave wondered if Loktar had said something, this was unlikely, but he had to make sure.
Detective Dr Dave went down and outside the hotel, and there was Loktar still on the park bench. He woundered when Loktar would figure out he could free himself, but this was a momentary thought as he had matters to attend to.
"Loktar, I require information." stated Detective Dr Dave, in a matter of fact way.
"Sure, what do you want to know?" asked Loktar
"Did you tell anybody at all that I was staying here?" asked Detective Dr Dave
"No of course not!" replied Loktar, a bit unhappy that he was asked this question.
"Good man. However somebody knows I am staying here..." said Dr Dave
"In the mean time can you free me?" asked Loktar
"No time" replied Detective Dr Dave, as he rushed off down the street to find less public lodging.
