Raccoon, PI-yours for a few buttons as long as the job isn't too illegal, whatever that means.A mouse has gone missing. Normally this wouldn't raise any hackles, nor any alarms, but this mouse has something that everyone seems to want, though nobody appears particularly eager to say what that something is.The fee is good-perhaps too good.
