Charlie works part-time at the garage and part-time at the detective agency. He is positive in the way of youth that have not yet learned the realities of life.

Ramotswe has to teach Charlie about ethics when she discovers that he has blackmailed Eddie in order to get information from him. Charlie becomes afraid of Eddie when Eddie comes to the detective agency to tell him that the person who hit Marang threatened him. Later...
