Shock To The System Page #5

could trust me

and I told him he could.

If somebody murdered him,

I don't really don't give

a damn who they sleep with.

I'll find them.

Goodbye, Mrs. Hale.

Larry Phelps around?

Larry,

name is Donald Strachey,

I'm wondering if I can talk

to you a little bit?

Hey, Larry, wait!

Larry!

Larry!

Larry!

Larry!

You're starting

to piss me off!

What the hell are

you running from?!

Go to hell!

There's a lot of

people that saw you

you won't get

away with it.

I don't know what

you're talking about!

That's why you

attacked me.

Attacked you?

Listen a**hole-

look, let's start

over, alright?

Strachey.

Yeah, I'm pretty

close, why?

I'll be there in

fifteen minutes.

Better make that

a half hour.

Hey, look who's here,

if it isn't Albany's

most famous gay dick.

Don't sell yourself

short, Stenski

the boys I've

talked to say

you ain't so

bad yourself.

Looking good wherever

you go, Strachey.

What can I say?

This place just brings

out the best in me.

Coroner ruled

it a suicide.

Drug overdose, just

like we thought.

Phenelzine?

That's right.

I thought he took xanax?

Yeah, well, we found xanax

right next to the body.

But no trace of

it in his system.

It turns out it was the

phenelzine that killed him.

Did he have a prescription

for phenelzine?

No, he didn't have

a prescription for either.

That's why Dr. Sung

didn't suspect anything.

She figures whoever

gave him the xanax

gave him

the phenelzine as well.

Plus, the crime

scene, the note,

everything indicates

suicide.

So who gave him

the pills?

That's none

of my business.

I investigate homicides.

The coroner

ruled it a suicide.

This case is closed.

You might as well

take this with you,

I have another

copy in the files.

Thank you.

Strachey...

what's the deal

with this kid?

Why the interest?

I don't know.

I guess he reminds me of

somebody I used to know.

A long time ago.

Hello!

You here?

Yeah, I'm up here!

Okay, I've got

Thai takeout,

double chocolate

fudge ice cream

with optional hot fudge

and that movie with

the two straight guys

playing gay guys,

playing two straight girls

to seduce their boss.

Or something.

I'm sorry

I have to work tonight.

But it's Tuesday night.

We watch movies

on Tuesday night.

I know, but it's

this Paul Hale thing.

The suicide?

Maybe not.

But I thought they found the

pills right next to his body?

They did.

They did, but Paul

didn't take them.

So how did he die?

They found another

antidepressant in his system

called phenelzine,

it causes a nasty reaction

when taken with alcohol.

Like a stroke in an otherwise

healthy 21-year old?

Right.

Paul was drinking

bourbon that night.
