This is the Trudy Monk Memorial Library. Its construction was generously financed. It's in Hell's Kitchen. And with luck, someone here might have a job for a certain private investigator.
In a small room, he interviews an employment candidate. His name is Lee Owlsley. He obtains books for this library. And he seems to have a bit of a wingsuit obsession.
This is who he's interviewing. His name is David Lieberman. Once, he was a great NSA hacker. And then he was dead. And now he's alive again. And he needs a job.
Owlsley reviews his resume...but isn't sure. That really big gap on Lieberman's resume sure doesn't make him look good...
A fist pounds on the door. Owlsley yells, and tells them to wait. He shakes Lieberman's hand, and dismisses him. Neither man seems too confident.
With Lieberman gone, Owlsley accommodates for his next appointment. She's a PI with superstrength and gliding powers-and for that, Owlsley is somewhat obsessed with her.
As they barely begin the job interview, Jessica Jones notices minor details about the way Owlsley keeps himself and his space. She's already noticed his wingsuit obsession, of course. She's also noticed an owl-shaped pin on his sports coat. But of course, his name is Owlsley; so she naturally dismisses this as a really pathetic attempt at self-insulting.
He tries to offer her a chair. She beats him to it. She puts her legs on the table, and rests. She rushes things along, and insists that he get straight to it.
Owlsley can barely pretend to not feel insulted. Nonetheless, he maintains his professionalism-as his late father always did before him-and presents his proposal.
His library's been losing books. At first he suspected his employees, but when the police came, they reported no signs of a break-in.
As the meeting continues, Jones asks her usual questions. According to Owlsley, the missing books may have something in common, but he isn't sure. But one thing he does know is that the thief always leaves his calling card. With that, he slides a photo across the table, towards Jones.
It's a photo of Beyonce, the singer. It's hand-autographed...by her.
Jones smiles, and presumes the real one has an alibi. Owlsley admits that he hasn't been able to get a hold of her, as haven't the police. They've already checked all the photos for prints, but no one's sure of anything. The only prints that have been identified are either of previous owners or of unknown ones.
But based on what limited Owlsley knows of Beyonce (he's probably lying; Jones is pretty sure of it), it doesn't seem she'd have much use for the stolen books. "Beyonce" is clearly an alias; and hence, a likely job for Alias Investigations to crack.
This isn't the most flexible moment of Jones's career. Matt Murdock's sick in her apartment, and her former assistant Malcolm isn't talking to her, and she isn't talking to Trish, her lifelong BFF and surrogate sister. What's more, she's already working on a case that she finds MUCH more interesting, which has to do with Killgrave-a purple-wearing freak with mind-controlling powers who she killed on a wharf, in front of many helpless mind-controlled witnesses, including Trish, a few years back... Nonetheless, this AKA Beyonce case seems amusing, and as a PI, she must always push to prove to the public that no matter how tough times get, she can still pull more than her own weight.
She must, of course. She didn't, after all, kill Kilgrave, subdue Black Sky, or destroy IGH by being weak or flightless...
They shake hands. Owlsley seems intimidated by how hard she squeezes his hand.
With that, Jones returns to sleuthing, and taking care of Matt whenever Sister Maggie nor Tilda can. And Owlsley returns to his ever-watchful and ever-wise bookkeeping, as it seems to an outsider...
