A story in the Zack Masters, PI Universe
Zack is returning from the Vietnam War to follow in his dad's footsteps as a private investigator, and to see if his childhood sweetheart could be the true love of his life.

This story is a parody of the Encyclopedia Brown mysteries. I'd be the first person to admit that I can't write short two or three page mysteries the way Donal J.

This should be a fairly short story for me, and after it's done I'll start working on a new Ben 10 story or another Jason story, but in the meantime enjoy this one.
