I knew the murderer was somewhere in historic Delaware, but what bothered me more was the dame at the counter. I knew I'd seen her before, but I couldn't place where. Until I came to a few hours later, and saw the ape who had hit me over the head with a lead pipe. Then I remembered she was Big Mort's floozey.

Yeah, I was close to solving the case. Too close. It wasn't a matter of finding the killer. It was a matter of living to see another sunrise. I guess I'll find out in another hour. I've got an angle on Big Mort, but I don't know if it's going to save my skin.

Srsly, I was lolling. My favorite part is that it's Mort who's after you. Big Mort.

Well, Joe seemed wrong with the "Big" in front of it. Maybe because it was the name of a Mercury-Atlas launch.
