Little Tiger — Doc Macomber

When Air force Special Investigator, Jack Vu, is approached at his promotion party by an attractive Vietnamese woman, he is surprised to learn she is an old family friend now a member of the renown USAF Tops in Blues vocal group, and she needs his help.The last time Vu saw Me Long she was just a little girl. She tells him that earlier in the week, a photographer approached her in the French Quarter and kissed her. She slapped the man, but he became confused and thinks she is joking. When it is clear Me Long isn’t the girlfriend he claims he left behind in Vietnam just weeks early, he steps back and begs for her to listen.Reluctantly, she does but doesn’t believe a word of it. There is simply no way she has a twin sibling living in Vietnam. No way! The photography passes her his business card and tells her he is leaving the country soon but he would be happy to help make the connection if she wanted.Vu finds her story fascinating if not a little strange. After some prodding, he agrees he will investigate the matter for her. He tells her he doesn’t think she’s in any danger.Days later, Vu is called into his Commander’s office and is given a new assignment. “Well, Sergeant, looks like you get to visit your homeland. A USAF singer Me Long Bragg has gone missing in Hanoi and her band manager believes she may have been kidnapped. Pack your bags, you’re leaving tonight.”
