The Trickster’s Trap

“That’s a nasty fall, my friend. I’d help you up, but first I need you to answer a few questions for me, starting with why you followed me all the way out here.”

Though Enigma has trained in swordplay out of necessity, the truth is he prefers to win fights well before they ever had a chance to break out. One of his favorite tactics is to use himself as bait to lure enemies and threats into traps so that he can capture and question them.

Such is the fate of one unlucky goon who was ordered to follow him, under the light of the full moon. Whoever he’s working for is going to regret the day he made an enemy of The Great Detective.

“Well, are you going to start talking? Or do you like in down there?”
