Solution
Lucy Gordon: You double crossing gumshoe! First you help me, and then you blackmail me?!
Detective: I would do many things for money, but I'd never blackmail a girl like you... What I would do, is to offer you my servicres to catch the blackmailer.
Lucy Gordon: I might've overreacted. The facts are, that someone demands money or the chief of police will receive proof that I have a sugar habit. Here's the letter I got.Lucy Gordon: How could you tell anyone about the donuts? I confided in you as a friend, and I return, I end up with a blackmail letter at my doorstep!
Detective: I work double as hard to prove that a woman can do a detective's job, and you accuse me of petty gossip? That's harsh coming from a woman in uniform.
Lucy Gordon: I'm sorry! I overreacted. The facts are, that someone demands money or the chief of police will receive proof that I have a sugar habit. Here's the letter I got.Detective: I'll track down the blackmailer. You should keep it cool. We don't want to scare him into doing something stupid, like revealing what he knows to your boss.

City search: My Eyes On You
Lucy Gordon: Wait. You're saying some guy had eyes on me for weeks and I didn't notice that?
Detective: Yeah, that's weird, isn't it? how could that possibly happen!
Lucy Gordon: He probably was hiding somewhere near the donut shop. Somewhere where he could track my every move without being seen...
Detective: Yeah... that's what I meant. There must have been a guy you overlooked.Detective: Girl, you need to get a life! You don't even notice the guys around you.
Lucy Gordon: Bad guys, you mean. I'm not so keen on dating a creepy blackmailer. And I thought crooks were more in your type, huh?
Detective: You mean that McLean? He's just a contact, that's all. It's strictly business, really.The blackmailer was seen:
- not more than 2 from the stadium
- exactly 3 from a restaurant
- exactly 3 from a landmark
- not more than 1 from a post office
- not on water
- On the map there are 1 restaurant

Crime scene search: A Rat's Nest
Lucy Gordon: Something's still bothering me about the blackmailer. His description seems oddly familiar.
Detective: Then we need to check out the apartment for clues about his identity. Maybe an ID or something like that?
If you fail:
Detective: I don't think I'll find anything here. He's a professional, he probably doesn't keep any ID in this apartment.
If you win:
Lucy Gordon: This is why the description sounded familiar! He's a cop from my precinct! I had him just under my nose!
Detective: You never seem to notice the men aroud you.
Detective: See, told you. You should reconsider your priorities, Lucy. Take a while to look around.
Finale
If you fail:
Detective: Lucy, it's me. I wan't able to catch the blackmailer. I'm sorry.
Lucy Gordon: It's okay. It's all my fault. THhose are my vices, not yours. But I won't give the blackmailer any money, that's for sure.
If you win:
Lucy Gordon: I came clean with my boss. I wanted to hand over my badge, but he insisted that I should stay on the force. McGee wasn't so lucky. He was dishonorably discharged from the force.
Detective: He got what he deserved. Speaking of which, shouldn't you take a break? Spend some time off with your friends... or someone important to you.
Lucy Gordon: The only thing that's important for me is my job. It's really hard to be a female cop, and I have to work extra to prove my worth. That's why this blackmail case was so hard for me.
Lucy Gordon: Last time a guy tried flirting with me, he turned out working for the mob, so I had to shoot him. So, yeah, my private life is just peachy.
Detective: Note to self: when flirting with Lucy, wear a bulletproof vest. But at least she's[sic] doesn't have a boyfriend, so that's a start!Detective: So, what now? Are your ready to take a break?
Lucy Gordon: I had some time to think about what you said. I'm sorry I was angry at you, you were right. And you're a friend.
Lucy Gordon: So why don't we go for a coffee, and you'll tell me about that actor, Bravucci? Or "that McLean" as you called him?
Detective: Great, I walked right into that... Well, maybe Lucy isn't the only one who needs her priorities set straight.Trivia
