Hi, my name is Nathan.
LANDLORD: I have to admit, I didn't think anyone was going to show up for this stuff.
Richard and I were still missing the book that Bart stole from our hotel room.
If that book were to get into the wrong hands, I'd be heading to jail. That means I had to find it.
So I did a little digging, and found out where Bart was staying in Providence--a dingy little apartment on the south side.
I took Richard with me and we pretended to be grieving relatives.
The landlord looked like he was happy to have someone come clean out the place.
LANDLORD: It must be hard for you folks to have a psycho in the family.
ME: Well, now that he's dead, we're all relieved. Awful as that sounds.
RICHARD: Yes, there'll be more ham to go around at Easter.
I jabbed Richard in the side.
The landlord looked suspicious.
LANDLORD: How were you related to him?
ME: We were his--
ME/RICHARD: Cousins/Brothers.
ME: We're a very close family.
The landlord left us alone, and we promised to have the place cleaned out in a few hours.
ME: Find that book.
The place was pretty clean, which was a relief, but there wasn't any sign of a book anywhere.
But there was something on his bed that caught my eye.
ME: A check.
RICHARD: From who?
From Ritchie.
