Summary of Receipt

Robinson evades Doppio and Espresso. They come up with some alternative plans: either using magic to lure Robinson (and other unwanted visitors, namely the ‘DeLuxor Burger’ and ‘Caesar’s Salad Palace’ - the Obscure Obelus Order and Mammon’s cult) out, trying to get help from Lungo or asking the X-Ray division of Astoria (literally just one guy called Ray) what he knows.

RECEIPT AS OF: 7/14/01
BARISTA ON DUTY: ESPRESSO
RECEIPT FILED AS: JFB-04
Slippery son of a gun, isn’t he! You’d think he’d be pretty easy for us to track down from all the stories. Then again, all the stories seem to be based around children, and me and Doppio are far from being children. But with age comes experience. That, and we’ve spent the better part of our adult-lives tangling and tango-ing with the unknown. So, you’d think we’d be able to track down one measly Mr. Oh well, the hunt is the fun of it! I’m just worried Mr. Robison only shows up to new kids, and this whole trip was just a waste of time.

Well, we’re not down and out just yet. I think we just need to tackle this conundrum from a different angle. Recrunch the numbers and double-check our variables and all that jazz. I know my dearest Doppio still has a few tricks up her sleeves to draw Mr. Robinson out of hiding. Though such amazing feats of haberdashery are certain to draw in a larger crowd than desired. While a good ‘ol fashioned hat trick will have an 85% chance of bringing Mr. Robison out, it has a 40% chance of inviting DeLuxor Burger to the party and a 10% chance of catching the eye of Caesar’s Salad Palace. Like the names? I just came up with them on the spot! Boy, this coffee biz is good fun.

Well, before we go to such drastic measures as panhandling with a hat, we have some other options at our disposal. Namely Lungo. I’d be a monkey’s uncle if Lungo didn’t already know exactly where to find Mr. Robison. Though getting that information from him is a whole different statistical anomaly. We could also ask my pal, Ray. While I don’t know if he’d be any help, he’s a well-traveled guy, plus he’s actually a janitor himself. Though less in the cosmic sense and more in the mop up the messes kind of way. Maybe it takes a janitor to know a janitor. It might be worth giving him a ring. It surely couldn’t make things worse.
