CHAPTER IX TRAPPED
Skippy Dare steps into a towering office building, eyes wide at the revolving doors and polished corridors that feel more like a circus than a workplace. The street‑wise orphan, fresh from a hard‑knocked childhood on the waterfront, is determined to trade his savvy for a badge, hoping the famed International Detective Agency will give him a chance. He watches the polished waiting room, a pretty clerk typing behind a mahogany desk, and gathers the courage to ask for a meeting with the legendary Carlton Conne.
The clerk’s weary smile and curt refusal only sharpen Skippy’s resolve, reminding him that the road to a detective’s badge is lined with setbacks. He offers a hand‑written note and a hopeful grin, dreaming of learning the trade from the very man whose feats he has read about in the papers. As the elevator doors close, the young hopeful feels the first real taste of the investigative world he is about to chase.
