The Corpse Can't Sing 24

Marilyn arrives at the stairwell, her face betraying no emotion. Greer confirms the girl’s death and reports verbatim the information shared by Melony Lancaster, careful to hide his informant’s identity. Years ago he may have withheld some fact, investigated further to determine his client’s role in this sordid affair. Tonight, a headache is brewing and a bottle of Yukon Jack sits on his table back home calling his name. He considers the investigation complete.

Marilyn hands him the rest of his payment, double what they had agreed upon previously. With no explanation of the excess or thank you for his work, she turns and disappears into the night.
