Trajectory

It was supposed to be what Pete Hawkins, P.I., sometimes referred to as a simple ‘who’s poking fun at who’ case. He was working undercover at a ‘retired’ mob boss’ party for a client that wanted to know who the guy might be playing footsie with. That was all. Then someone took the short way to the parking lot. Another P.I., that happened to be there also, unknown to him, saw it happen, more or less, and when she ran through the party yelling at him to call 911, he naturally followed. In short order, Pete and this babe secured the crime scene, the cops arrived, and, after finding a ‘note’ the lead detective ruled it a suicide. Case closed, right?
Well, except for the body being way too far from the building to possibly be a jumper.
Also, who was this other P.I.? Who was she working for? What was she after?
Of course, Janie Hillary was also wondering many of the same things, making it inevitable the two should meet, but did she deserve to be blindsided by a lipstick?

Gas and a match, or love at first sight?
