"Null the glum, chummer Twist. Let me give you a little something for your other set of brains. Stayed around after you meatfeet left the squat with the bods and watched the badges. They didn’t spend a lot of time, but they did mess up the scene and didn’t take any evidence. In fact, it looked to me like they were deliberately destroying some. So I got suspicious and followed them. They met with Inspector Burnside. He didn’t seem very surprised by their report, and that got me really suspicious." She waited for Sam’s reaction and shrugged when he had none. "That didn’t add, Twist, Burnside’s a copper’s cop, straight as they come. The whole shadow world knows that he’s a hard-nosed, real believer in justice that don’t bend the law. But those jokers reporting to him had done just that. And he just listened. I tell ya, Twist, it don’t add."
