Unless we're missing, like, eighty pages edited out of every story where Speed guesses wrong, or this is actually a series about a toddler shouting at random adults and retroactively assuming that whatever they do was his order. Those could also be fun, but otherwise, I refuse to believe that the Ace Investigator <i>follows</i> a mere hunch.<br /><br />I do have to wonder, though, if the Dean's "oh, and there might be...like, <i>native</i> experts or whatever" afterthought was meant as a jab at the field.
