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."

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.

- "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.
