Dialogue
402- "And the flashlight works a lot better if you hold it in your hand."
- "JUMP."
- A bespectacled man in an orange bomber jacket has folded up his newspaper and is now…
- A man in his late twenties with a thin, unimpressive beard notices you approaching. He…
- The corpse looks at you with bulging white eyes. The face around them does not look…
- A row of ghostly shades facing a crumbling wall, with another seven shades standing ten…
- "Look." She greets you, taking a drag. "It's dark outside, the dogs are barking and I'm…
- "Our tenant, the policeman. I hope the waves don't keep you up at night. What can I help…
- "Oh, hello, officer." He covers his mouth, struggling to suppress a coughing fit.
- "Hard-cop." She nods to you with respect and turns off her recording device.
- "Do you, uh, want to talk about what just happened?"
- "Is there something I can do for you?"
- "I'd appreciate it if you didn't force us into situations where I may have to shoot…
- The trash container stands in the spring snow.
- All around you, rain falls on the great city of Revachol. Rain drips from the eaves and…
- "What do you see?" The lieutenant cleans his glasses, squinting at the shapes in the mud.
- The tracks are as they have ever been. A bit more worn, perhaps. Fortunately, the street…
- The sight of bullet holes stirs something in you, making you forget the lieutenant's…
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."
