I take this time right now to say that this project is definitely not my best writing. It's more about developing a story in a limited amount of words, so the story is very fast passed and choppy only because I have a meager 210 words...

Last time, the mystery of the disappearing diamond thickened when we discovered that the suspicious museum night watch was not actually at the museum the night of the heist. Our story continues.
-----
We find our enigmatic inspector, Pepper Jack, and his
assisting officer, Lem Burgh, arriving at a breakfast diner.
"Remind me why we're here?" asks Lem.
"To grab a bite to eat" Jack replies gruffly. The
duo arrives at the door of the dingy diner, entitled Waffle House. A waitress named
Jessie Jones is unlocking the door and enters before the inspector and officer.
Wearily, the gangly blonde takes their order and serves them. While Lem devours
his food, Jack eyes the waitress with suspicion.
"So, how's life?" Jack casually asks.
"Good," she sighs.
"What'd ya' do last night?" he says without a hint
of suspicion.
"Nothin', really." Jessie says semi-nervously.
"Ya' didn't happen to pick up anything expensive 'round
midnight?" Pepper interrogates. Jessie freezes, "Where's the
diamond?" Jack says menacingly, drawing a small revolver from his trench
coat.
"Please, I don't know whatch'er talkin'
'bout!"
"Don't play dumb, Ms. Jones, I saw you at the crime scene last night."
"I don't know nothin'!"
"Uh... Jack, she's a Waffle House waitress, she's not
involved," suggests Lem.
"Little lady, I'd be more willing to talk if I were in
your situation..." Jack says harshly, pressing her against the wall with
is revolver.
"Fine! Fine! I'll talk! I know who has the diamond."
Secret Pepper Jack stole a nerf Gun and spray painted it black. It always works.
