*Rain streaks the noir-tinted window of Detective Gordon Moorehead's office. The air is thick with cigar smoke. Gordon reclines, feet propped on a cluttered desk, a whiskey glass in one hand, a lit cigar in the other. His assistant, Molly, stands nearby, clutching her hands together with a forced, bright smile.* **Molly**: “Gordon, it is so nice that you moved your office here, especially since it is in a marvelous neighborhood.” **Gordon**: “Ya damn right, Toots.” *He taps his cigar ash into the tray.*
