After Officer Warren came in, Shirley Thorne brought out some tea and snacks, looking every bit the part.
Ethan Grant, having just freshened up, asked her, "Any word from Ian Hollis last night?"
At his words, Shirley Thorne stiffened. "No," she said. "Nothing at all."
Although she had eventually fallen asleep, the matter had been weighing on her mind.
Ethan Grant frowned, feeling a little uneasy.
Officer Warren asked curiously, "What's going on?"
Ethan Grant shook his head. "It's nothing."
'I can always tell the police once I have everything figured out.'
Shirley Thorne pulled up a small stool and joined them, her wide eyes blinking. "So? Was Warren Grant really poisoned?"
Officer Warren nodded. "With a drug that's banned in this country."
"Mason Sutton confessed, too."
'This drug is truly terrifying, far more so than I imagined. It's strictly controlled even overseas; Uncle Grant probably couldn't have obtained it on his own.'
