Is it really breaking in if I have a key? I’m not going to break anything to get in, so it’s definitely not breaking and entering. Only entering, so I feel a little better about the whole thing.

Bradley pulls into the garage. “What do these people do for a living?” Mercedes and BMWs line all the garage parking spots like a high-end dealership.

I shrug. “I have no idea. But the rate I’m going, I’m never going to get a car like that.” I point to the little black convertible Mercedes. “I’ll stick with my Toyota. You know, throw people off when I work on spying.” I smile over at Bradley.

“When you spy?” He continues to look for the visitors parking spots, “This is the last job you’re doing.”

It’s cute how Bradley is nervous about me going into Dabi’s apartment to find something, anything, to help Michael and Splitsville.com.

The visitor parking is right next to the security guard office. I can see the glow of several small televisions lined up on the desk. His back is to us.

Bradley turns off the car and points in the direction of the security office. “Do you see those TVs in there?”

I look again and the security guy motions for us to get out and walk over there.

“Those are security cameras. You be careful. I’m sure this place is lined with them.” Bradley puts his hand out for me to stay put while he walks over to the guard.

The security guard looks official in his Paul Blart Mall Cop security get up. He stands a foot shorter than Bradley which makes me feel better. If we need to take him down, I think we can do it.

I really wish I’d gotten something from that store to protect myself. Its times like this I need to carry some sort of weapon.

I roll down the window to see if I can hear what they’re saying.

Bradley flashes his SPCA badge. “Here to see about taking a dog back to the shelter. Apartment number 203.” Bradley is charming the attendant.

“I didn’t know they had a dog.” The guard seems a little suspicious.

“They brought one home from the shelter and I’m doing a visit to make sure it’s a good fit.” I smile. Bradley can tell a lie without flinching. I had no clue. Bradley isn’t bad at this sleuthing stuff.

The attendant pushes the gate open and points in the direction of the visitor entrance. There is a security station right before the glass doors.

Bradley comes back to the car, the security guard is watching, and retrieves a fold-up kennel. “I have to pretend to check on a dog, and this will distract the guard.” He reminds me of Frank Hardy in the Hardy Boys Mysteries.

“And how exactly are you going to do that?” I’m no big sleuth, but I don’t understand how a kennel is going to distract Paul Blart.

“You have to get up to Dabi’s apartment, right?” He waits for me to agree, “I noticed the cameras aren’t in the stairwells.
