On board the Merry Martini – Evening November 10, 2008
“Quite the boat here, Henry.”
“No expense spared for my partner. I did have to clear it with the estate attorneys. Told them we had the missing heir. Turned out my little exaggeration was true.”
“Yes, he finally fessed up. It required some coercion.”
“Why the dead act? You’ve got him wrapped like a deceased Hindu.”
“Go down to the cargo hold and see for yourself. He’s hooded. Leather and steel mesh sutured to his scalp. Rather permanent cuffs. He’s cruelly tattooed just as the Martindale nurse indicated. Overall, his incarceration has been rather harsh. No point in alerting the crew and other outsiders. Think it’s best that we quietly reverse as much of the alterations as we can before we put him in front of the lawyers.”
