- Well, now you've done it. Let's see if you can talk your way out of this one.
- Heavy wooden doors more than twice your height stand shut in front of you. The…
- "C'mon! Get in, the warm stuff is getting out."

- By the way, where is home? The address is coming up blank and this place sure isn't it...
- There it is again! There's a spectral smell haunting this industrial harbour. And it…

Notes
461- "I don't see how your problems are relevant right now, officer," the lieutenant says in a quick, clipped tone.
- "You won't have to look at that sight much longer, I promise. We will return soon." He turns to leave.

- Who... what... Dear god, you've been lied to! She could have killed her lover and lied to everyone! She's not candid at all, she's smoke and mirrors and will…
- The lieutenant gives you a sideways glance.
- "And what would that miracle be?"
- The lieutenant has taken a small step back. He looks at your face illuminated by the flames and nods silently. Then the fire falters...
- "Nothing. What happened? Where'd you hear bad words? Was it from someone on the coast? The radio?"
- "Shut up." The lieutenant jabs you in the ribs with his elbow, then turns to the boy...
- He nods approvingly. He even smiles.
- "No." You have rarely seen him with that face.
- Slowly, with your breath held, you take two small steps toward the phasmid. The creature lets out a series of ultrasonic clicks that swarm around your head l…
- "That they are." The lieutenant looks at the spinners and sighs. "I was going to take them into evidence, but they weren't necessary for conviction. He never…
