...things that money, the

future and the serious life...

...had made so certain I'd forget.

And for what?

Some meaningless prank, a decade old.

Why was is suddenly up

to me to figure it out?

Clearly there was something.

Something from the past, spooking me back.

"Yesterday upon the stair, I

You're disgusting. You know that?

I'm just going out for a bit.

"Today in London officials

confirmed that the shooting...

...on the 5th of February

of singer Brian Slade... "

"... At London's Lyceum Theatre

was a publicity stunt... "

"mounted by the singer's

company Bijou Music Limited. "

"Manager Jerry Divine announced today that

his company meant no harm in their escapades. "

"That it was intended

solely as entertainment. "

"Very unfortunate, very sad and

unfortunate that in this day and age...

"... An artist's quest for artistic

freedom should cost him his career. "

- Warum, denken Sie?

- Why do you think?

"I dunno. "
