Yet, nothing hurt more than my roommate-cum-semi-girlfriend Millicent ditching me for her old flame over Christmas, forcing me to spend the holidays alone. To cheer me up, Inspector Tembo convinced me to play an elf to his Santa Clause at a kids’ Christmas party. The rascals had no idea what an elf was, showed no interest even after Tembo explained I was his helper. More salt to the injury, Millicent’s father, the chief, threw a monster party for his prodigal daughter, attended by everyone in the village. My boss Inspector Tembo worked on Christmas Day, apparently to avoid accompanying Mrs Tembo to church.
