Dialogue
402- Two rusty metal plates that slide apart form a crude door. It's been here under the…
- A rusting control panel with loose wires dangling out from the hole where an indicator…
- The Headless FALN Rider -- he could appear at any minute!
- There is nothing.
- You holding it together there, Meltdown Cop?
- Do you feel that?
- The dome-shaped plastic buoy still bobs up and down in the water amidst the trembling…
- "What have I used it for..." He looks you dead in the eye: "I've used it for killing…
- The library card is folded into two and still slightly wet to the touch. The front side…
- "One moment..." You can hear her shuffling through some papers.
- There's some tare, an empty cigarette package, and a crumpled kebab wrapper in the trash…
- "Are you serious?" The lieutenant's face changes immediately, taking on a more sombre…
- "So, the death notification..." the lieutenant says as soon as you've left the apartment.
- "We just need to get him back to the mainland." A crooked little smile. "We actually did…
- "Three weeks ago, when the rich hag came in on her galley. Her honour guard came in tow."
- What strikes you about this gaunt man is not the stomach pain, or the cough, or the…

Notes
461- "I think we'd like to ask you a few questions. Don't you think so, detective?" The lieutenant looks quite fed up with the situation.
- "Okay, enough! We are here to ask you some questions pertaining to a murder investigation."
- "Yes, this place really seems to run like clockwork. Keep it up, Leo." The lieutenant smiles at the little man.
- The containers in the yard are green in Wild Pines livery and the mountain rising behind Leo is all red in Union colours.
- You see disdain in the lieutenant's dark eyes when they meet yours for a moment. He does not approve of you ridiculing this little man.
- "That was smart," the lieutenant says, nodding toward the unlocked door.
- "We should probably proceed with our business in Martinaise." The lieutenant interrupts her, turning to you. "Unless you didn't have any more official questi…
- "That was the last time, miss." He looks at you with a stern expression. "Our questioning here is concluded. Let's go."
- "We should probably proceed with our business in Martinaise." The lieutenant interrupts her, turning to you. "Unless you didn't have any more official questi…
- "Oh! That's actually what I was thinking -- THE HANGED MAN." He nods. "I like that. A good, strong name. We have a very good name for the case now."
- He flips the pages of his notebook. "I'm going to start calling it THE HANGED MAN. It's good we sorted this out."
- Absolutely motionless at first, then animated slowly, imperceptibly even, the lieutenant begins to browse his notes again. Leaving you to the case files.
- "Okay then." He returns to his notes, abruptly. "The case doesn't need to have a name."
- "Thank you," the lieutenant nods. "I think so too. Good and normal."
- "No-no, you deserve it. We can log it later." The lieutenant drops the bag in your bloody hand. It feels light.
- "Don't be silly." A smile comes across his face. "You've earned it. Consider the binoclard episode forgotten." The lieutenant drops the bag in your bloody ha…
- "Of course. You've earned it." The lieutenant drops the bag in your bloody hand. It feels light.
- "One more thing -- this was really good work, detective."
