It was a rainy night in the city, the clouds hung in the sky like bums at a ballgame. I climbed the stairs to my office, skilfully avoiding every warp and creak. On reaching the 4th floor, I noticed that my door - with the words 'Q. Masters, Private Detective' emblazoned on it in cheap brown paint - was suspiciously open. I pulled out my piece and entered carefully. Standing at my desk was the type of blonde that makes grown men weep with joy. She must have been poured into that dress by the cocktail waiter at The Savoy.
"I've been waiting for you, Masters!" she said in voice that could excite a eunuch, "where have you been?" Boy, she had some front, but in that dress, she had plenty of back too.
"Dames who ask questions don't tend to go very far in this town," I growled, putting the gun down and pouring myself a glass of bathtub gin.
"It's not me who asks the questions though, is it, gumshoe? I hear you like to make the real swingers suffer." She really had my number. I was hoping to get hers before the night is out. "This may help you." She slid an envelope across the desk. Her blood-red nail polish reminded me of a shark's teeth after a fresh kill. I slit open the envelope with my switchblade. Inside there was a list of names; Skinner, Webb, Scully.....
"This can't possibly be th...." I looked around. She'd vanished into the night. My gun was gone too. Where would I find her again? I looked at the envelope in my hand and ran my fingers across the embossed logo of The Cockwell Inn.

It was going to be a long night.

Yep, turns out that having the round you've asked for does not necessarily guarantee a superb score, as @Baldricknkaz discovered with the Science Fiction round tonight. We also discovered, via the same round, that @Pearls doesn't like "silly future stuff". Julie, of @Nigel&Julie fame, decided that the Quizmaster was all sorts of bad things and would certainly not be benefiting from any oral relief, any time soon but @Ms_kinky_Emma seemed as enchanted with the whole vibe as always. @The-Gent made a last-minute but impressive debut and @Stew continues his time outside the top two, despite coming up with some excellent answers. This meant that, despite an absolutely valiant effort by @Vanezza who pushed the pace all the way, @Mr_and_Mrs_Marmite retain the sparkly green crown for another week, sending them straight up fourth in the league;
