"Sam Pachowskee, Shattoh Frontinknack." Tone of voice was that he's writing what he's saying. "Your buddy's Rick and the number you gave is his cell?" Tone of double-checking this time.
"Yeah, Rick Rogers, Paranormal Files Detective Agency."
"Paranormal Files . . . you're based out of Reno, right?"
The surprise on Rick's face was clear. "Yeah, that's right!"
"You're a long way from home, kid."
"I've been hired by a guy in the local law enforcement. Apparently, he has family in Reno who suggested he call me."
"Huh. Good call, sounds like. All right, I'll make arrangements as soon as we hang up. Should be there in 3-4 hours, tops. Stay put." And he hung up.
Rick stared at Sam, flabbergasted. "Hellboy's familiar with my agency!?" Not that he expected her to answer. The question was rhetorical, but he still had to say it aloud in his astonishment.
((I'm kinda figuring it's not actually that surprising. I'd imagine the BPRD would keep tabs on any other outfits that deal with the paranormal, whether or not they interfere. Hell, they and MCF probably covertly cooperate from time to time. Info exchange if nothing else.))
I'm changing where he's at - he's in New York rather than Denver
