[QUOTE="El Jefe, post: 3124959, member: 19990"] The sun had yet to rise as the bleary-eyed investigators made their way to the clerk ward of the city. As nervous as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs, the pair kept a sharp watch out for danger. Their vigilance was rewarded, they found none. Keenly looking for something out of the ordinary, they made their way to the top of the stairs leading to Archer's office. The door was locked. Devlin knocked, but there was no answer. He knocked again...the special knock Eppy had mentioned before. The door opened to reveal one distraught Eppy. [COLOR=Teal]"All he said was, 'You know...the ball', and then..."[/COLOR], Eppy trailed off as her eyes glanced in the direction of the center of the room. OoC: I'm pretty sure both of you made your spot checks on this one, so... IC: There, in the middle of the outer office, was the sprawled form of a gaunt man, face down. His head was still covered with the black hat he had worn into the room, and on the floor between his head and his right hand was a round object wrapped in butcher paper, about the size of a small melon. However, what first drew the gaze of the pair was the feathers of two crossbow bolts protruding from his back, and the trickle of blood that had soaked through his jacket by each wound. Eppy quickly locked the door behind the pair. She stood, trembling with fear, not knowing what else to do. [/QUOTE]
