Call Your Family When You're In Trouble

Luke listened to the call, only to be stunned. He simply said, "Got it."

Jennifer appeared calm, but her eyes were fixed on the detective. She asked, "What happened?"

Luke leaned back in his chair and looked up at the blue sky. "Miss Manny Scott just passed away in the hospital."

Various emotions flashed across Jennifer's face, before she eventually sighed and covered her face with a hat as she leaned back in her chair.

Luke secretly shook his head, but didn't interrupt her silent crying.

He rose and went off to make a call. "Hey, are the results for the murder weapons out yet? Are you at least done with that extendable baton?"

A moment later, he hung up helplessly and sighed. "It seems that he isn't a complete idiot after all."

The examination of the extendable baton had revealed two things.

Firstly, it was indeed the weapon that had been used to smash Manny in the head, since it had her blood and hair on it.
