Dialogue
402- A row of mugs sits on the shelf. Each one depicts a human figure: a dark-skinned woman…
- "I'm really not sure we should be in here."
- "Goddamned pinball."
- This is the barred door you tried to kick in before.
- "I haven't paid the cafeteria manager for damages yet."
- "I thought we decided to leave it to Processing." The lieutenant shakes his head. "Let's…
- "Yes. It took some convincing, but I got the mercenary's name and a few biographical…
- "I see the processing guys have been faster than usual. It's good we stopped by to check…
- Suddenly, your entire body is paralysed. Aggressive white noise fills your skull -- a…
- You feel something -- like a swarm of hornets buzzing under your scalp. A strange…
- The once-bright mural towers above you, saying "FELD ELECTRICAL R&D."
- The rusty ladder leads to the rooftop.
- "Is everything all right in there, officer? Could you let me in?"
- A moustachioed and mutton-chopped man, amateurishly depicted, gazes at you with sad eyes…
- Could this have been the killer's hideout, and this narrow window -- the point of origin…
- The thick journal bound in brown leather is full of candour and diagrams.
- "Okay, let's take a... step back." (Conclude.)
- Despair creeps into you, getting fat on your weakness. Whatever noble intentions you once…
Notes
461- "Are we done here, Gary?" (Conclude.)
- "Because they're not really human, right?"
- The lieutenant gives you a quick glance. Then, still looking straight ahead, he joins you with a higher-pitched and slightly more melodic trill.
- "Thank you for sharing this wonderful opinion on human sexuality." He pretends to read the economics book open on the table.
- The lieutenant gives you a sharp look. He's bailed you out, again, but he's none too pleased about it.
- "Sounds like the victim was unconscious. Or at least incapacitated. Well done, detective." He nods to you.
- "Good god, detective. One more stunt like that and they'll have you institutionalized."
- The lieutenant nods to you. "That lines up with previous testimony, doesn't it? Well done, detective."
- "A bunch of what, detective?"
- "That is unhygienic. And dangerous. And it does not endear you to me -- just wanted to make that clear, okay?"
- "He said I'm his 'pig hooker' or something, whatever that is."
- "I guess I got my answer." The lieutenant gives you his usual firm stare.
- "You're making it worse, officer," the lieutenant says quietly. His eyes never leave the woman's face.
- "Thank you." He pockets the drugs. "I'm doing this to help you. We need to focus on the case."
- "Suit yourself, but I need to decompress first." (Turn to leave.)
- "You were making prank calls." Not a muscle moves in the lieutenant's face.
- "Big deal?!" Not a muscle moves in the lieutenant's face.
- "Don't trust me -- trust the Mother. I'm only the messenger, homes." His voice echoes in the cold air of the church.
