The Spade and Heartt Detective Agency made it's home in the back of the King of Clubs magic shop as a series of offices for the two detectives. Though customers for the latter could reach the former through a hallway that bisected the two story brownstone, signs and locked doors suggested it was easier to go around the back and try the bell. Wizards generally didn't like people going through their private homes. Clients who came around the side and up to the back door found a well made if simple and direct sign that read, "Spade and Heartt Detective Agency" on one line in bold gold letters, with "Knock or Call (555) 963-9963" in smaller, more discrete print. The lock on the door was impressive and magic radiated from inside.
Within the office, tt was no mistake that the furniture and adornments were right out a Philip Marlowe film, all old pieces worn by use and age in styles that had long ago gone out of fashion. A central office for greeting most clients shared two desks on either side of the large room, a his and hers affair that painted two very different pictures of the partners in crime solving; where Rick's desk featured a mess of old tomes, a set of good bourbon and tumblers, various small watches or magician's tools constantly in need of fixing, and a perpetually unfinished game of chess, Quinn's was organized and clean, dominated by a computer, a stack of the latest Dresden novels, and note books filled with her flowing hand writing about their latest cases. A record player in the corner and a collection of Sinatra added to the ambience. Time was kept by a grandfather clock.
Further offices flanked the room in two directions. Some were for their individual offices, some for storage, and some for more private work.
