Re: Chapter 1.2- Meetings and Murders
Colin: The cop gives you an amused grin, but there is no friendliness in it. Do you really think I should trust a suspicious man next to a body to come back and have a chat later? I assure you man, I do notice the body and I also notice your proximity. The man won't be any less dead if I wait to examine him. You, however, may slip away and right now you are my only lead. Surely you realize how I should prefer you to come with me for the time being? Or perhaps you would rather chat here? In which case, I suggest you put your knife away. He finishes flatly. You are unsure what to make of him. He seems threatening to be sure, but whether it is because you are suspicious to him or something more nefarious you cannot be certain.
John and Kimi:
It is not too hard to remove the bricks with the knife and once you do an alarming amount of blood and other elements surge out. The smell is so overwhelming it is difficult not to be sick. After the initial liquid has passed, you see the remains of what looks to be a man. He is badly decomposed, but he wears a blue velvet suit and a small cross around his neck. Kimi, you recognize him as Jason Netts, one of the more advanced Men of Letters. He was supposed to have been away on a case, but clearly this is not so. You also note with a sinking heart that he and Ian have long been rivals. Whether or not the man is guilty of the suspicions against him, this will not look well for him. Especially since he's the one who told everyone that Netts had gone.
