DETECTIVE:

So you just came up to visit this

Hobbes and you found them like that?

ST. LUC

Oh, no. I haven't seen Dr. Hobbes

since I was in medical school. He

taught me... he was my prof in urology

and... I think he conducted a few

seminars in psychopharmacology. That

was it. I had no idea he'd ever set

foot in Starliner Towers until today.

DETECTIVE:

I see. Then what brought you up here?

St. Luc begins to pace about as he talks.

ST. LUC

It was very strange. He called me at

six this morning. Hobbes called me.

I thought I was dreaming. I haven't

heard that voice for so long. He

told me who it was, then he said

something like, 'Meet me at apartment

1208 at noon. I want you to go out

for lunch with me. It's time you

furthered your education.' Then he

laughed and hung up. I went back to

sleep. He called me again at eight

to remind me to come.

DETECTIVE:

How did he sound this time? Was he

nervous? Depressed?

ST. LUC

He sounded fine.

The telephone rings. The super, who has been fiddling with a

window with a cracked pane of glass, grabs the phone

instinctively without looking at the detective, who probably

would have answered it himself.

SUPER:

(pause)

Who? No, that's not me. You got the

wrong guy. Just a sec.

(looks up at St. Luc

and holds out the

phone to him)

It's for you. Somebody wants to know

how come you didn't show up for lunch.
