"Ah, we would be that, yes," Maddox says, simultaneously relieved the prostitute was not raising the alarm over two non-clients on the premises and a little awkward in addressing a lady of the night. "Does Madame Delgato plan to kill him, do you know?"

"Only it'd be really good if we could get him alive enough to tell us about his friends in the hills, see you, and, um, get him hanged properly so that any other surviving victims know he didn't just vanish off scot free like he might."
He looks at James. "I'm guessing Wilder here might want to kick him in the balls, too...but you're sure your -Madam can handle him?"
