- That's a "Full." - Right you are, McGillicutty. The bed, draped with white sheets, extends directly into a coffee table, which, in turn, extends almost all the way to the TV stand. There is a one foot gap to move around in. - What's this guy a fuckin' Hobbit? - He walks over the top of the bed to get to the closet. See that indentation? The detective points to a large crevasse in the middle of the bed-sheets. - Very nice, Detective George. - Oh, well, thank you, Detective McGillicutty. Detective George walks a couple steps further into the apartment. A pile couch cushions is stacked loosely, one on top of the top the other. They sit in front of a mass of books, which sits underneath a radio. - The boy is into stacking things. Very curious.... - Look, here. A copy of "The Most Beautiful Girl in Town." And lying on the bookshelf! Looks like we've got ourselves a sex freak! - Looks like I've got myself a sex freak... - What's that, Detective, George? - What'd you think I said? - I don't know, I hoped you said. 'Looks like you've got yourself a sex freak.' - Well... What you hoped I said was what I'd hoped you heard me say. The detectives shared a bright smile between themselves. - But that books from the library. And they both feigned interest at the CHICAGO PUBLIC LIBRARY stamp on the books dog eared pages. Detective George pulled a card from the inside pocket of the book. He frowned casually. - Quite overdue, I'm afraid. Over a month. - There's another one! Detective McGillicutty flipped the bedsheets back and sawa copy of "The Marabou Stork Nightmares. - Irvine Welsh. He's that drug writer. - Hmmm. Quite. Un. Savory. - But they're only from the library. Where's the real stuff. The detectives flipped the loose couch cushions back and looked beneath the stereo. Dante. Blake. Homer. Stephen King. John Gardner. A wide variety of tastes.... - But see this stack here. All comic books. All in a row. As if for easy access. As if he tried the rest and.... There are more of these about! - Shall I check the closet? - No no. That's just for porno. Check the boys shoe size! - O! A ten. He's a nice average boy! - No no. Detective George held up a pair of pants in front of himself. They ran from his shoulders to his belt buckle. - A short boy. But I bet that thing looks big on him. - Ohh Detective McGillicutty! You're such a naughty copper! - Ohh, you merciless little fuck. - Why the fuck are you guys in my apartment? - Ohh! Who are you! We are investigating the death of Mr. Fuckhead Indigenouz. - That's me. And I'm not dead. Why are you holding my boxer shorts? - Just. They're... AS EVIDENCE, OF COURSE! - OF COURSE OF COURSE OF COURSE
