Seamus Pov:
Seamus walked down Cedar Street. His mind contemplating the fact he lost the target.

I cant believe I zoned out there. I lost the damn target, because I was too busy in my own thoughts. How in the name of Eire did I manage that? I'm supposed to be a skilled investigator for fucks sakes. What would I tell Arthur or Robert?

Seamus walked on the dirty grey sidewalk, watching the orangish-yellow leaves gently float down to the ground. One thing Seamus enjoyed about Fall was when he could walk on the leaves, that had fallen from the trees, and hear a crispy crunching sound when he stepped on them.

He knocked in a sequence, 3 quick knocks, pause, and 3 quick knocks again. A voice then spoke on the other side of the door.

"Come in Seamus"
