• Mr. Bryant : [Joe enters Mr. Bryant's garage]  Yes, sir, can I help you?

  Joe Mannix : Maybe. My name is Joe Mannix. I'm a private investigator.

  Mr. Bryant : Something wrong?

  Joe Mannix : Well, I'm looking for a Lee Thomas.

  Mr. Bryant : So am I. He's gone.

  Joe Mannix : When was the last time you saw him?

  Mr. Bryant : Oh, 4:00 yesterday afternoon. He left for the park. Crazy about baseball. He manages a kid's team.

  Joe Mannix : What else can you tell me about him?

  Mr. Bryant : Why? Is he in trouble?

  Joe Mannix : I won't really know until I find him.

  Mr. Bryant : Well, I can't really tell you much, Mr. Mannix. He's pleasant, but kind of quiet, and he never talked much about himself.

  Joe Mannix : How long has he worked for you?

  Mr. Bryant : Oh, seven or eight months. Good mechanic, great hands.

  Joe Mannix : Any idea where he's from?

  Mr. Bryant : No. But he never gave me a minute's trouble. He did his work, never watched a clock. I can't pay him what he's worth, but I let him sleep upstairs. There's a room and bath up there.

  Joe Mannix : Did he have a girlfriend?

  Mr. Bryant : [thinks for a second]  Uh, not that I know of.

  Joe Mannix : I wonder if I might borrow a wrench or some tool that might have his fingerprints on it.

  Mr. Bryant : Why?

  Joe Mannix : Well, Lee Thomas didn't exist up until eight months ago. That's when they issued his Social Security number.

  Mr. Bryant : You figured he changed his name, huh?

  Joe Mannix : It looks that way. Well, if his prints are on file, we'll find him, and if I can put a name to him, maybe I can help him.

  Mr. Bryant : Well, his toolbox is over there on the bench.

  Joe Mannix : [walks over to the tool box]  This one?

  Mr. Bryant : Yeah, that's the one.

  [Joe opens the box and looks inside, he then takes out his handkerchief and pulls out a wrech]
