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…

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.
