Harry woke up and took a cold shower.
All the while, harry dreamed of hot water.
The phone rang. It was Murphy who wanted
his help on a strange case that involved
a murdered prostitute and a leprechaun with amnesia.
The leprechaun was currently in custody and was
trying to bribe the Special Investigations officers with

but since they weren't donuts, they didn't work.
Dresden decided to talk to the leprechaun before
