Authur looked at the dead bodies on the floor. “How the fuck do you know that they were there?” He asked, still surprised. “Detective Instinct.” Avery said with a smile raising her eyebrows at him. “You really are a true detective.” Authur said absentmindedly, still looking at the dead bodies. “Well thank you.
