We kept seeing Columbo`s car around. First of all we saw it outside Burger King on Byres Road, badly parked- about five feet away from the kerb and at the craziest angle, as if he`d stopped there in a hurry. Then my brother saw it outside the place where the swimming pool and the badminton courts are. And later again I saw it parked outside the off-licence, closer to the pavement this time, and parallel too. We only ever saw the car parked, but it always seemed to be outside somewhere I liked to go. And then, when we went out for dinner on wee Karn`s birthday and we were hanging our coats up on the coat-rack, we saw Columbo`s old mac already hanging there, in amongst all the expensive fur and leather and things. I had a quick look around while we were being taken to our table, to see if he was there, but I couldn`t see him anywhere.
But then one night while I was sitting outside on the steps playing my Gameboy, I heard a car stopping on the gravel in front of me. And while I tried to decide which way round to put the L-shaped Tetris piece that was falling, I felt someone sit down on the steps beside me. And I heard them scratching their head. And then, on the reflection on the screen, I saw that it was him.
`Those really are the most fascinating little machines.` he said. But I`d built up a whole high pile, which needed a single line for down the side, and I couldn`t look up in case it came. `It certainly is nice around here.` Columbo said, and I heard his mac moving as he looked around. The single line I`d been waiting for didn`t come though, and soon my screen was filled all the way to the top. So I put it down and asked Columbo if someone from around here had been murdered.
`Not murdered, sir. No.` he said, `I don`t think you could call it murder.`
`Well what are you investigating?` I asked him.
`Well, sir, it`s a case of counterfeit notes. Perhaps you`d call it theft, but I`m not rightly sure. It`s new for me, I`ll tell you that.` Then he picked up the Gameboy and stared at it, all fascinated. `Could I? Would you mind?` he said, and I showed him how to start up a game. But pretty soon the screen was full and he shook his head. `Well, well...` he said, `You know, Mrs Columbo- she`s great at these sorts of things. But me, I just can`t seem to get the hang of them.` And he stood up and handed it back to me. `I`m sorry to have troubled you, sir.` he said, `I`ll let you get back to your game. You know, this really is a lovely area.` And as he walked off down the steps I watched until he opened the door of his car, and I went to start up another game. But then he stopped. `Oh, I`m sorry.` he said, holding one hand up in the air, with a cigar between his fingers, and looking down at the ground. `Just a little thing...` he said. And he scratched the back of his head with the hand that had been up in the air. `With something like that, sir- that little machine you have there- would someone be able to make samples with that, from records and stuff?` I laughed and shook my head. `That`s fine, sir.` he said, `I was just curious.` Then he got into the car and drove away.
I didn`t think I`d see him again after that, but I was very wrong. I began to see his car around a lot more, quite often outside the houses of people I knew. And not only that, but just lately he`s started turning up wherever I might be, asking me all kinds of crazy questions about technology and sampling and stuff. Pretending he`s trying to learn all about it. It got me quite worried for a while, but I think I`ll be alright. I think I`ve got him foxed. I think I`ve been way too clever for him...
