INVESTIGATOR<br />
--What about his profile?<br />
Hugo refers to a print-out of 20-YEAR-OLD VINCENT's profile<br />
including his Genetic Quotient. (<strong>The</strong> fifteen-year-old photo<br />
of Vincent now bears little resemblance to his assumed<br />
identity.)<br />
DETECTIVE HUGO<br />
According to this, he's a sick<br />
man. Congenital heart condition.<br />
Who knows how long the specimen<br />
has been here but there's an 80<br />
percent chance the owner of that<br />
eyelash has already died himself<br />
from natural causes.<br />
INVESTIGATOR<br />
(terse)<br />
So there's a 20 percent chance<br />
he's not dead.<br />
Detective Hugo goes to comment further, then revises his<br />
remark in his head before speaking.<br />
DETECTIVE HUGO<br />
Even if this Vincent Luca is<br />
alive, is it likely he could<br />
bludgeon a man to death?<br />
INVESTIGATOR<br />
No. Not likely.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Investigator's tone suggests that the identity of the<br />
culprit is no longer a matter for debate. <strong>The</strong>re is an<br />
awkward pause before the Detective falls into step with his<br />
superior.<br />
DETECTIVE HUGO<br />
I take it you're thinking along<br />
the lines of a robbery gone sour--<br />
a thief disturbed in the act?<br />
<strong>The</strong> Investigator merely shrugs.<br />
DETECTIVE HUGO<br />
(skeptical)<br />
Of course that doesn't jibe with<br />
what we found. This was an angry<br />
killing.
