Jordan Drake-40s/African-American/Single
What better place to start than right here? Like I said I'm tall, dark, and handsome. Ok I know what you're thinking, and you're right I am exaggerating slightly. Alright fine no sense beating about the bush, I'm not tall. Like most of the rest of the team I like to think I have a good sense of humor, hopefully for your sake I hope it comes out better than the above joke. I've got a pretty good work ethic. I've been doing PI work since '97 so I've also had quite a bit of practice at it, mind you I haven't spent this whole time in New Orleans, but for the moment I can't think of any place better.
Claire Walters-late 20s (but really early 30s)/(she claims) Haitian(but she's white)/Divorced
I've known Claire for over five years now, and to be honest I'm fairly certain that there hasn't been a day go by since we've started working together, that I'm not grateful to have met her. She married her high school sweetheart and they decided together to enroll in the police academy. Of course after they both graduated he was put on a fast track for promotion and she was set aside by sexist bosses. Needless to say this ruined their marriage and eventually her views of the force in general. We started working together four years ago just as I had gotten my first physical office space for the business. Claire is by far the most dedicate partner I've ever had and it'd be a sad day if this firm were to lose her.
Andrew Stevens (it's not Stevens but it kind suits him)- 20s/white/single
Drew is our resident computer tech he goes to college, though I've never bothered trying to ascertain which one. I can only hope he's using his paychecks to either pay for his schooling or that he's saving up to buy himself a whole new wardrobe. Ok, that's not nice but it's hard to make him seem credible when he's on a student-related COINTELPRO mission and he refuses to take off his WoW t-shirt. Different generation I guess, anyway he's the best damn computer man we could find and the fact that he's willing to help us for the amount of cash we give him is good enough for me.
Jack O'Meoff (writer's block, I'll come up with something better)-40s/Irish/married
Jack, though perhaps not as dedicated as Claire, is the best snoop in our firm. He likes to claim he's got connections with the Irish mob. Whether that's true or not I don't know but he's damn good at finding out things when we need it. I want to say he's lived here all his life, but I'm not certain about that. In any case he knows this city like the back of his hand.
So that's the basic intro to our crack team of PIs, I'm sure you'll all get to know them better soon.
