Setting Up The Television

So, here I am again.  On my way to Noah’s house because he is “in desperate need of my help.”  Like I’m not in the middle of a case and need to spend time tracking down a lead.  No, this is important he says.  It’s an urgent matter he says– so why is it that I have my doubts?

I pull up to his house, and I knock on the door (peering into the house through the side window).  Laura greets me at the door, “Hi Adam.  Follow me, Noah needs your help in the living room.”

“Hi Adam,” Noah says.  “I’m glad that you’re here, I need your help.”

“What is the life and death emergency?”

“Well, I purchased this HDMI Wall Plate from TCA Inc and now I have to mount my television to it.”

“You bought it from where?”

“TCA Inc.  They sell all sorts of peripherals– USB cables, adapters, power cables, HDMI cables, and these HDMI plates.”

“Wow, that’s a lot from just one location.  How was the price?”

“Believe it or not, the prices were far below retail.”

“Are you sure that they’re good?”

“Positive– in tests they’ve sometimes done as well or better than Monster or other name brands.”

“That is impressive– I may have to get a USB cable from them.  Now, what do we have to do with this Television?”

After a little bit of effort we were able to connect the the television and hang it, and I was back in my car on my next adventure.
