402- Is there something here that would indicate a sniper used this place as a nest for taking…

- "I'm sorry I fucked everyone over. PS. I didn't kill him. PPS. Gift upstairs."
- The graffito has been painted over the traces of the fight that took place here. It…
- The scruffy-haired little boy kicks a stone while the other watches him do it.

- "You." The lieutenant turns to you. "If you were intending to use an unorthodox questioning technique for this branch of the investigation -- which, by the w…
