“Hello? … Yeah, yeah. … Another one, huh? That’s the second one this month. Seems like somebody has something out against us. … I’ll be down there in twenty.” He hangs up and puts the phone back in his pocket.
Suzanne turns around to face Richard, “Work called again?”
“Yeah. A body washed up near the docks. It’s one of our guys again.” Richard gets up from his seat to fix his suit and tie, “I won’t be long. Just gonna see who is it and if there’s any clues as to who did this.”

“Right this way, Boss Balder.”
