The Reyes house, El Paso, Texas, Friday evening

[blondecanary]

The portal dropped Dinah off on a runway. (Thanks, Portalocity). But at least it got her to El Paso within six hours of when she was hoping to arrive. Heading over to the Reyes' house after that was just a matter of grabbing a cab.

Finding a cop on the doorstep talking to Jaime? Not so much with the expected.

"Like I said, officer," Jaime was saying, trying to sound reasonable, but the strain in his voice was obvious, "I'm looking for her, too."

The officer did not look terribly convinced. "That right? Notice you didn't report her missing yourself."

"Hey, Jaime." Dinah gave the police officer an edged smile. "What's going on?"

"Who's this?" the policeman asked Jaime.

"Hello, I can answer that myself. Dinah Lance. From New Jersey." She mouthed what is going ON? at Jaime.

While the officer was studying Dinah curiously, Jaime winced dramatically in Dinah's direction before letting his expression go back to normal (if stressed).

"Dinah, this is Officer Rodriguez. Mrs. Wilson reported Momoko as a missing person, and he's been assigned to investigate."

"Cool!" Dinah lit up. "Awesome, actually. Do you guys have any leads? Oh hey, did you talk to Mrs. Wilson? Is Moshi okay?" She stopped herself from asking anything else after a second and added, "I'd be happy to help!"

Officer Rodriguez gave her a very dubious look. "Are you a police officer, ma'am?"

"I'm a private investigator." Almost. Close enough. Licensed next month. Details!
