With Monk’s work at the crime scene done, he hurries off to City Hall, where he meets a newspaper reporter, Paul Crawford, who’s there covering Monk’s fight to save the garage.  Monk also runs into his nemesis, Harold Krenshaw, who happens to be a member of the City Council.  Fortunately for Monk, he doesn’t need Harold’s vote.  Councilwoman Hill has assured Monk that she will vote to save the garage, which is enough to give Monk the majority he needs.

Then Monk gets some bad news.  Councilwoman Hill is missing, and the vote on the garage measure is postponed.  Monk is desperate to find her, as she is the key to saving the garage.  He goes to the councilwoman’s office and talks to her secretary, Maria Schecter, whose extreme incompetence frustrates Monk.  Monk learns that the councilwoman’s last meeting before she went missing was with the reporter, Paul Crawford.

Monk talks to Crawford, who admits to meeting with Councilwoman Hill before she disappeared.  According to Crawford, there was nothing unusual about the councilwoman’s behavior, but he recommends talking to a hot dog vendor who’s been holding a grudge against her.  Monk follows up on Crawford’s suggestion, but the vendor appears to have nothing to do with the councilwoman’s disappearance.
