The second investigator

We had a client who hired us, gave us all the information we needed, paid the retainer and did everything exactly as a sound client should do. We then started the surveillance and found that the subject was heated up and spent 45 minutes driving around aimlessly, stopping every few miles, cutting through shopping malls, etc. etc. Ultimately, we had no choice but to let him go. When the private investigator conducting the surveillance called the client, she was suprised and then told the PI that he had caught the last private investigator she hired four days before. This little detail would have been very helpful for us to know. Had we known, we could have done the job with a second investigator (or even a third), rather than one, and we would have had a fair chance of staying with him undetected. Remember, tell your private investigator EVERYTHING. Be honest and detailed. It will be the best insurance that your money is well spent.
