      In the Tree House

      My name is Jones. Jigsaw Jones. I’m a detective. I solve mysteries.

      If your socks are missing, I’m the guy to track them down. I get a dollar a day for my trouble. So here’s a free hint: Try looking under your bed first.

      Mila introduced us. Jigsaw, this is Cassandra. She’s the girl I told you about.
