This development didn't make a whole lot of sense. I had picked up an empty cartridge shell offen the ground where that galoot had shot at me with his...buffalo gun. Close comparison with the empty shell I had picked up when I brought the boss' body in showed them to have been fired by the same gun. The ejector left a funny mark that was identical on both shells.Everybody was sure that the killer didn't have no connections to the nesters, so that let them offen the hook, but why was he meetin' up. “I have noticed that your clients are more satisfied.

If looks could kill you would already be on a slab in the morgue.Kelly quickly turned back to me before she jumped on the bed to bury her head in my chest. She was apologizing whenever she wasn’t crying too hard to get words out. Kelly told me all about how Kelly overheard the night nurse on the phone, talking to her mom this morning.
