A long-forgotten memo from a missing JurisFiction agent was discovered this week. The memo, dated 1986, was found in a leatherbound 1912 copy of Jane Austen's Sense & Sensibility. Tracey Lloyd of Plymouth, England found the memo as it dropped from the book she was unloading from a crate of antique books recently bought at auction. The memo, in near-perfect condition, seems to have been delivered to the incorrect non-Great Library edition. When asked about the unexpected discovery, Lloyd replied, "I don't understand what it's all about. I've asked but no one else knows either. I went to my doctor but he said that I should just keep taking the pills."
Because of this memo's discovery, new light may be shed upon the disappearance of Agent Leah Tard. It had been previously reported that Agent Tard was apparently boojumed during a routine investigation. Records of exactly what she was investigating are very spotty and several records appear to be missing. Agent Tard worked in the Nursery Rhyme division and had an exemplary record. Her disappearance materially upset several investigations. Pundits are saying her disappearance may have been something more sinister than just a random boojumming accident and may indicate an inside job. Jack-Be-Nimble, who was mentioned by name in the document, was convicted of eleven gang-land style murders two years after Agent Tard's disappearance. Nimble, of candlestick jumping fame, was also indicated in the arson deaths of six other nursery rhyme characters, mostly C and D Grade generics. He was never convicted of those crimes, but with the surfacing of this document, more charges may be brought against Nimble and his syndicate. JurisFiction authentication of the memo and further investigation will be required. Nimble is currently serving 3 consecutive life terms in a bad Lithuanian translation of Dante's Inferno. Jack-Be-Nimble's Nursery Rhyme role is now being filled by an A-Grade Generic. The valuable memo will be kept at the JurisFiction Archives for authentication and further study and then will be displayed at the JurisFiction Archives Museum. |
