The hoboes grab the money from Mathis and smiles spread across their faces for the first time, "Now you're speaking our language. I am Harold, this is Joe."

Bill looks at his comrades to see if they want to interject and then reply "We might be able to share some information on the recent deaths outside of town. If we were able to speak directly to him?" He looks again at the group to see if they wanted to add anything.

The desk sergeant asks you to take a seat and he goes off to inform the detective of your presence.
After a couple of minutes, a short overweight man with black hair in a comb-over enters the room. His brown suit is heavily creased but his black shoes are freshly polished and his thick jowls are unshaven. "What's your business?" he asks abruptly.

"Detective, we have come a long way. We feel these murders are possibly connected to some of the scientific research my team has been working on in the United States. There are possible paranormal explanations to them that we could assist you with if you are willing to trade details about the case?"

"OK, follow me," he grunts before leading down a white corridor lined with doors. The second door on the left leads to his office, a small, white-walled room lined with filing cabinets and a desk against the west wall. A window looks out to the north. There is only one spare seat and this is piled high with files, as is his desk. Once you are inside, he squeezes behind his desk and slumps into his seat.
"What do you want to know?"

"Town isn't that old. The Brown corp, an American paper company, bought up the lands and built the mill, at the turn of the century. Before that it was just settlers, foresters. The Atikamekw people used to live here. I'm sure there are tales of Indian curses, but none that I heard."

"So this town is a relatively new settlement in an otherwise unsettled area. That's interesting. Have there been any other disappearances or murders that you know of?"

"Monsieur, in our way of life, people disappear all the time. People move on, others just die from the cold. As for murders, I wouldn't know about that. The two we talk about are only unusual in that the police give a shit."

Once settled in the station cafe, he orders coffee and pastries."I know you deal with some sticky situations for Mr Abelard and you've been sent to look into the recent murders so I'll tell you what I know. The two men were found dead under strange circumstances. Their names were Anthony Corbett and Nathan Roche and they were rumoured to be both living outdoors. I have a contact in the police force, and discovered that the tops of their heads and their brains were missing, although now it seems this is common knowledge now. The detective in charge is Julien Degarmo."

William paces around the office looking at things on the wall and other oddities in the room. "Thank you Detective. Has the victim's brains been recovered? Have there been any reports of unusual creatures, not native to this area? Anything else that isn't described in the news papers?"

for some reason i kept reading that as man and not men. thank you for clarifying.Oct 10, 2017 8:18 pm

"No, the brains have not been recovered. Medical examiner says a saw was used antemortem, no unusual creature could have done that. More likely moneylenders or gangsters. And plenty not mentioned in the papers, what do you know already?"
Oct 10, 2017 8:23 pm
"Well gentlemen, we are here because we give a shit. I will stop by from time to time and check with you to see if you have any more information you can add for us. We plan to find out exactly what happened here."
