I was sitting in the living room talking to Olivia. There were four random people in this town that had killed themselves.

Olivia " I don't understand. Why would a federal investigator be interested in a suicide? "

Me " Well, um... it's a new, more caring administration. "

Olivia " Well, I already told the cops. Jane was having a really bad day, so I-I did what any sister would do.  I... tried to cheer her up, you know? Told her to hang in there. "

She played with a stray of her hair. She was lying. 

Me "Miss, you should know better than to lie to an Agent"

Her eyes widened " What?! "

Me "Tell me what you did to your sister. "

Then she sobbed out "Okay. You're right. I was lying. I wanted to tell her, "I love you. I'm here for you." Oh, but what came out was... "You're a burden. Just kill yourself." Who says that?! I-I-I just couldn't stop!"

I sighed "Thank you"

She nodded. 


At the Dentist's office . 

There was another homicide. 

I looked around the office. Everywhere was blood. 

It looks like some people get curse by telling the truth. I'm mean you ask them and they puke it all out. 

I looked around and saw a saxophone on the credenza. 

I picked something up from the desk. 

I read "Harry's House of Horns"

Wait, i know that name. That name was on the calender of Jane Patterson at her house. 


At Harry's house of horns. 

I showed Harry photos of Jane and Paul. 

Harry " Jane and Dr. Conley. I heard. Awful. What do I have to do with it?"

Me " Honestly? You're the only thing they have in common. Did they say anything to you before they, uh...? "

Harry shook his head "Sorry. Not really. "

I nodded "Right. Ah, I was just fishing. Thanks. "

Harry "Hey, by the way, how 'bout my horn? "

I looked at him confused " Sorry? "

Harry " Stolen horn? "

I nodded "ah yeah, we -- we're working on it."

Harry " Well, I hope so. Thing's one-in-a-billion. "
