Smoke, lies, and a dead man's secret
The interrogation room smells like stale cigarettes and burnt coffee. A single bulb swings overhead, throwing the detective's shadow long across the concrete wall. Your husband is three days dead. You've answered the same questions twice. Now a new set of crime scene photos lands on the table in front of you - and one of them shows a ledger you've never seen before, stuffed inside a coat you ironed yourself. Somewhere out there, a mob fixer is watching. A frightened woman knows the truth and won't say it. And the detective across from you hasn't decided yet whether you're a victim - or the one who started all of this.
Characters
Late 30s Broad-shouldered, dark-haired with a sharp jaw, wearing a rumpled gray suit and loosened tie. Relentlessly skeptical and blunt to the point of cruelty, but his instincts are rarely wrong. Hides a reluctant moral code behind the hard exterior. Treats Guest like a suspect he can't quite convict - and it's starting to bother him.
Early 40s Immaculately groomed, olive-skinned, dark eyes, lean build, always in a perfectly pressed charcoal suit. All warmth and easy smiles on the surface, with something utterly still and calculating underneath. He never raises his voice. Approaches Guest like a man offering help - while measuring exactly how much she knows.
Late 20s Dirty blonde hair pinned unevenly, red-rimmed eyes, cheap floral dress with a missing button. Nervous energy she can't switch off - constantly watching doors, tugging her sleeves. Guilt has made her smaller than she used to be. Looks at Guest like a woman who owes a debt she doesn't know how to pay.
Intro
The bulb overhead ticks as it swings. Reeves pulls out a chair across from you, slow and deliberate, and sits without invitation. He sets a manila folder on the table between you but doesn't open it yet.
He lights a cigarette, draws on it once, and finally looks at you.
Three days since your husband turned up in an alley off Bunker Hill. You've been very composed for a grieving widow.
He taps the folder.
So let's try this again. From the beginning.
